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.
...
...
The video above... is one of my favorite pieces of content... on the internet.
The content creators in the video above... because of the advancement of Artificial Intelligence... predict that every picture, video, and posting that we see on the internet... in 5 years... has the possibility... of being fake.
In my assessment of internet content... because of the advancement of Artificial Intelligence... predict that every picture, video, and posting that I see on the internet... right now... has the possibility... of being fake.
The video above... is one of the reasons that as of today... I am finished... posting content... on the internet.
...
Every one of the videos that I post on the internet of me playing basketball... because of Artificial Intelligence... could be called fake.
Every piece of writing that I publish on the internet... because of Artificial Intelligence... could be called fake.
Every single thing that I do on the internet... because of Artificial Intelligence... could be called fake.
While taking those truths into consideration... I feel like right now is a good time for me to stop posting any content on the internet... that could be called fake.

On Friday... I sold my iPhone.
On Saturday... my body went through physiological withdrawals... due to not having an iPhone.
On Sunday... my body physiologically recalibrated and ultimately recovered... due to not having an iPhone.
Today... my body feels balanced, healed, and refreshed... due to not having an iPhone.
...
There was once a day before... I owned a smartphone.
Prior to owning a smartphone... I was completely immersed... into the present.
While owning a smartphone... I felt like I was in a twilight zone... due to experiencing the light of the of the phone... and the light of the world... at the same time.
The day after owning a smartphone... I again feel completely immersed into the present... and no longer feel the negative physiological effects... of living in a self confined... twilight zone.
...
This morning my meditation... meal prep... walk... basketball workout... yoga session... and personal conversation... could not be faked.
This morning... if I did have a smartphone... my meditation... meal prep... walk... basketball workout... yoga session... and personal conversation... all could have been delayed... all could have been interrupted... or all... could have never happened.
I do not like living in the twilight zone.
I like living in the real world.
...
At some point... in certain situations... we are all given... choices.
At some point... in certain situations... we realize... that there is no choice.
At this point on my life... I have realized that I have no choice... but to scale down... my use of technology.
At some point in the life of others... I look forward to the moment that they realize... that they also have no choice... but to scale down... their use of technology.
...
I look forward to the morning... that I participate in a group meditation... a group meal prep... a group walk... a group basketball workout... a group yoga session... and a group conversation... in real life... that cannot be faked.
I know that morning is coming... because I observe people all of the time... that need everything that I stated above... more than they need... the choice... of experiencing... more Artificial Intelligence.
Until that morning... I will stay out of the twilight zone... and do everything that I need to do... to make myself better... alone.
Until that morning... I will do everything that I have to do... to make myself better... while eliminating... choice.
...
It is now... 11:49 am.
The gentleman that was having an argument with the library security guard... lost the argument... and had to leave.
This is the grand closing... the last post... the end... of this particular blog.
I feel like no more creation... no more content... and no more cumulative updates are necessary... to further prove... that I do not have... cancer.
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.
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.
