It is Monday… October 12th… 2026… at 8:49 am.
According to the last post of this blog… the last post of this blog… was supposed to be the last post of this blog.
Is Artificial Intelligence writing this post?
Is the picture above artificial intelligence?
…
My truth:
In the picture above… I am holding my cheek… because I had just stretched the skin on my cheek… in order to peel off… a scab that developed on my chin… as a result of me receiving acupuncture on my chin… with the intention of pulling out an ingrown hair… that had developed in a pore… under my skin… which caused a blood clot… under my skin… on my chin.
The picture above… to me… is a reminder of the process… a commemoration of a successful ending… and the mark of a celebration… of a new beginning.

It is Monday... June 15, 2026... at 10:04 am.
I am sitting comfortably in the Allentown Public Library... using one of their desktop computers... while simultaneously listening to a gentleman have an argument... with a library security guard.
Last night in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals... the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vegas Golden Nights 3-0... to secure the Stanley Cup championship.
This morning... I have already been fortunate enough to meditate... meal prep... go for a walk... play basketball at Clyde's Park... do yoga at Change on Hamilton... and have a conversation with the owner of my favorite coffee shop... Gem's and Joe.
...
At the end of the last post that I made on this blog... I stated that I would not have... a grand closing.
While this post is not intended to be a grand closing... I intend for this post... to be the last post... of this particular blog.
At some point... certain things... need closure.
While the creation, content, and cumulative updates on this blog were necessary... I feel like at this point... more creating, more content, and more cumulative updates on this blog... are no longer necessary.

It is currently Thursday, June 11, 2026… at 8:55 am.
Last night in NBA Finals action… the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs… 107-106… to take a 3-1 series lead… in the NBA championship round.
This morning I have already been fortunate enough to meditate… go for a walk… and play basketball.
I am currently sitting in the downtown Allentown apartment that I inhabit… rehydrating… while mentally preparing myself… for the rest of my day.
…
…
In the picture above… is the current state of one of the rims… at Clyde’s Park.
The backboard currently has a crack in it… because someone hit the backboard… with a brick.
…
Sometimes I want to keep fighting the good fight for socialism, community, and peace.
Sometimes I want to quit fighting the good fight for socialism, community, and peace… capitalize on my individual gifts… isolate myself from the world… and enjoy the company… of a chosen few.
Right now… I am going to… relax.
Right now… I am going to make breakfast, listen to music, and prepare for socialism, community, and peace… while isolating myself from the world… and preparing for the company… of a chosen few.
…
I love Allentown.
While we do not have much here… I sincerely value… what we currently do have here.
It is my hope that in the future… we can all collectively do a better job… of valuing, protecting, and maintaining… what we currently do have.
Until then… I am going to individually do my best… to value, protect, and maintain… what I currently do have.
…
That is all for now.
Ttyl.
Peace.

It is Monday, June 8th… at 3:47 am.
I am listening to trap music… being played… in a car outside.
I feel calm after the storm energy… after making it through… an emotional weekend.
I am looking forward to today.
…
There are no chores to be done in the apartment… other than to wash and put away… the coffee cup that I am holding.
We are supposed to have more good weather today in Allentown.
I am going to prepare to play basketball at sunrise… prepare my post workout meal… and think about… my post workout plans.
I am looking forward to today.
…
(Edit)
…
It is now 8:24 am… and I just returned home… from a walk.
I walked to Fountain Park West… to the original Fountain Park… and to Clyde’s Park.
I was able to get up some shots at all 3 locations.
A video of me making a free throw at each park is below.
…
…
That is all for now.
No grand closing.
Ttyl.
Peace.

It is Saturday… 6/6/26… at 11:26 pm… in Allentown, PA.
I just arrived home… after performing some of my work… at a local open mic night.
Public speaking and performing my work in front of other people both have always been… two of my biggest… lifelong fears.
I am proud to say that after tonight… I faced and conquered… two of my biggest… lifelong fears.
…
…
Above… is a video of the final poem… that I performed.
The poem is entitled “The beginning “… which is the final poem in my book… “A collection of my thoughts.”
I feel an extreme amount of relief… now that my first open mic night… is behind me.
Public speaking and performing my work in front of other people was fun… and now that I know how public speaking and performing my work in front of other people makes me feel… and makes other people feel… I look forward to performing more of my work…and doing more speaking in public… in the future.
…
It is now 11:53 pm.
That is all that I have for now.
I am going to make some tea… relax… and sit in gratitude.
Peace.

Traffic
It is 12:56 pm… on Friday, May 22, 2026.
I just finished cleaning, cooking, and eating.
I am sitting in the living room… listening to music… and drinking coffee.
I am locked in.
…
This morning… I was woken up out of my sleep… by the loud sound… of a major car accident.
I quickly jumped out of the bed… ran out on to the balcony… saw one car flipped on its side… and saw another car imbedded… into a fire hydrant.
I then saw a bunch of random men attempt to get all of the passengers out of each car… saw a bunch of random men attempt to turn over the flipped car… and saw a bunch of random men attempt to control… a very, very… chaotic scene.
I then walked inside of the apartment… closed the door… and proceeded… to make a cup of coffee.
…
I have been thinking about travel a lot lately.
I have driven all over the country… sailed in multiple bodies of water… and flown all over the world.
I was born in Allentown, PA… I have lived in East Stroudsburg, PA… I have lived in Los Angeles, CA… I have lived at an off grid magical oasis in the woods… I have lived in the deepest, most southern, and most country part of San Antonio, TX… I have traveled to Northern Mexico… I have traveled to Puerto Rico… I have traveled to Africa…I have traveled Europe… and I have traveled to Asia.
Due to the accident this morning… combined with unpredictable traffic every day… and my conscious disinterest in any other country… my conscious disinterest in any other culture… and my conscious disinterest in any other city… I am making the conscious decision… to never get into a car again… to never get onto a boat again… or to never get onto a plane… ever, ever… again.
…
As of May 22, 2026… at 1:26 pm… I have been to every single place in the world that I have ever wanted to go… I have experienced every culture in the world that I have ever wanted to experience… and I have lived every single place in this world… that I have ever… wanted to live.
As of May 22, 2026… I am completely content… with never ever leaving… where every single thing… began.
…
If I want to experience Chinese culture… I will cook Chinese food… use YouTube to put on Chinese entertainment… and darken a room… to feel like I am in China… for the totality of that experience.
I will follow that process… for any other culture that I want to experience… from Allentown, PA… from now on.
…
Every day I read the newspaper… and every day… I read about… traffic accidents.
As of May 22, 2026… there is too much volatility in traffic… and the reward of going outside… for other than basic essentials… is definitely not worth… definite unpredictable risks… in volatile traffic.
Every single time… I walk one block to the corner store… and cross Hamilton street… I always have to save my own life… multiple times.
With all of those things considered… when it comes to non-essential travel… I am completely content… and have complete conscious disinterest… in any type of non essential travel… ever, ever… again.
…
The good thing about going to every single place in the world that I have ever wanted to go… the good thing about experiencing every culture in the world that I have ever wanted to experience… and the good thing about living every place in this world that I have ever wanted to live… I am at ease… and I feel really good knowing… not believing… that as of May 22, 2026… at 1:48 pm… that I know that I can walk to wherever I want to go… that I know that I currently live in the culture that I want to experience… and that I know that I live exactly… where I want to live.
I know… not believe… that my favorite coffee shop… is up the block.
I know… not believe… that I can see my favorite library…from my balcony.
I know… not believe… that my favorite basketball court… is down the hill.
…
This… is my official retirement… from travel… and my official retirement… from traffic.
In the few chore… I will see you at my favorite coffee shop… I will see you at my favorite library… I will see you at my favorite basketball court… I will see you at my favorite corner store… I will see you in the streets… or I will see you… at the door.
It is now 2:35 pm… on Friday… May 22, 2026… and it is now time… for me to enjoy… the on grid… in plain sight oasis… that I occupy.
Peace.
