Hello everyone. This is Refried. I just got to New York City in a train from sc. it was an okay trip. I had good seat buddies and was mostly comfortable.

I am staying in a hotel for one night. It is a splurge but I felt that it helped me feel more peaceful on the train without guessing about a subway ride and cab ride and another hour and a half after arriving in nyc.

at the desk for the hotel there was an issue with my credit card because American Express did not change my name after five requests and presenting legal ID every time.

So now it puts me in a jam. And they also switch over their card to US Bank so what am I going to do about my name? I could lose the account over it but if I do I might get a lawyer.

This isn’t really what I needed just as I get back to NYC. I just don’t appreciate the power plays and dishonesty that is tolerated in our country. 

Anyway it is crowded downtown but mostly nice people and I think that is good. People were getting in my way on purpose but I guess they want prayers of forgiveness for the whole city.

Some people mistake that as an accusation but someday they will be glad someone cared.

But anyway I am thankful for this blessing but I am going to complain to both companies.

At least they did finally take the card when I showed my old ID. I just don’t understand why people treated me like crap as a writer. The whole career part has been a swindle with onlooking bullies of every kind.

But the creative work was fun and I guess that is the conspiracy’s clever idea because people think my life is theirs to waste as part of their little religion project.
