Life On Mars In Boston: Adjust Time on Hour/Time... ADJUSTED?!?! - 2019 [The Allston Time + Space Traveler Returns]

01/06/2019

Since early October, there has not been any sight of the individual with a penchant for the Planet Mars, the Space Program, time and America. There has been no sign of who has been writing strange diagrams and symbols and maps on public property in this specific area of Boston . Yet, on the aforementioned date, in this New Year, HE HAD RESURFACED!!!

He re-emerged while I was heading to the same club I first noticed his version of the "Sistine Chapel". I saw him remarking that same damn ATM kiosk! I saw him from the back. He was wearing a dark green raincoat at the time. He was really getting into it. Going all "Michaelangelo". "Agony and Ecstasy" style! I didn't wish to intervene because there was another vagabond in there with him laying on the floor. On his side. Looking up and watching him intently (or in confusion).

I would have loved to get his attention and ask him many a question. However,I was heavily glammed and gothed up at the time. I didnt wish to frighten him.

Sadly all he had drawn was another unfinished map outline. I believe it was the police that came in between he and a THIRD "Magnum Opus".

There was a cop at the club toward the beginning of the night. So I just figured he was either caught and arrested or asked to skedaddle. I took this snap at the end of that night.

After a few days, I decided to go back to the ATM to do another video walk through. Much to my dismay they took the handle off and dismantled the key card in order to unlock the door and enter!!!

Unfortunately it was very bright outside that mid-afternoon resulting in a mirror like reflection through the windows.

The interesting thing is the "Navigate" message is bleeding through the white paint and the red pen map is still there. With an vertical teardrop above the blocked in "Kansas".

I do so hope he's found another place to keep warm. This is very disheartening turn of events. It's just marker. They could always paint over it. (I'm sure the painters make BANK-no pun intended- every time he does it).

I understand it's a nuisance for the owners of the ATM but I say just let him redo his work. He isn't hurting anyone. Just let him tell his story! Plus, it's an ATM on one of the busiest streets in the area! It makes absolutely no sense to not let the general public use it either! Anyway....

01/23/2019- Back to the Beginning:

I was on my way to work, I walked by the very same 66 Bus Stop I first noticed him in late August of 2018 and THERE HE WAS!!! It was mere days after the Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse! He was sitting down mumbling and laughing to himself.

He was definitely enjoying himself. He was entranced looking at and scrolling up on a touch screen cell phone! Apparently, he has access to this eras technology. I would've asked if it would be alright to take his photo but I was rushing to my place of employment and running low on caffeine. (I do indeed run on Dunkin :p).

This time he was adorned in a 80s/90s blue windbreaker with green trim and he was donning a crutch*.

***[Note:I certainly hope the crutch isn't a result of any sort of police brutality. It's all hearsay on my part. At the time he was possibly removed from that premises. I was inside the club. Galavanting and being a social butterfly, as I am. Therefore, I can only assume what happened at the ATM on that Saturday at the beginning of the month. End Note]***

After work I looked around the bus stop to see if he had left any markings, "clock tests" or any more "teardrops" or mentions of "Mars" or "Time" or if there were any maps. To my surprise there were NONE whatsoever!

I'm just glad this crazy ass dude is ok and I'm ecstatic that he's beamed back down from the mother ship or whatever timeline he has come from.

I will continue to investigate and see if any new glyphs and any other of his "doodles" appear and will update this blog with any new findings. My hope is to one day have a sit down conversation with him (if he is coherent enough) and get his truth out there.

End of blog...for now...

MY HEART-!

Sir, those are my emotionally damaged bois that find comfort in each other–

ft. @nessietessimal ‘s boi cuz I will go down with this ship

[jayetomas]

The Vision

Wings most delicate,

cradling eyes of ebony,

the pupils lost in the darkling,

no flecks, no rings, nothing to break the boldness of the stare.

"Angel marked." her great grandmother would have said.

"Demon spawn." the old tales would have whispered...

 The vision is like worshipping. 

You choose the things you hold vital and precious before you,

things you seek to keep always in your sight,

slipped into your pocket,

 or held secret, perhaps tucked away in a book.

Moving through the Vison,

the first moments,

are like you are carved from teak,

you watch the colors drain away,

and trying not to take the battering personally.

Afterward,

left with a hangover of lightning strikes behind your eyes,

you sift through the knowledge punched into your head,

and must decide what to do with it.

Let it drop like pearls from your pale and shaking hands,

wincing before a sad gaze before you walk away,

knowing you leave behind more questions than help?

Or decide a course of action, 

decide to "fix" this, get involved, knowing full well that this is an engraved and hand delivered invitation for trouble…

 The first time it hit me I thought I died,

thought my strangemarked eyes had gone blind.

Walking down an alley, a shortcut to school,

 (I was always late)

when I was suddenly not there,

not,

anywhere.

I was behind someone else's eyes,

Worried,

Anxious,

Full of dread,

and then I was back in the alley,

down on my knees breathing like I had forgotten how for a while.

And cold,

so cold.

  I acted like I was used to the stares,

the doubletake,

the floating questionbubbles from behind me;

"Birthmark? Tattoo? Is she one of those bodypainters…"

"I have something that will help." said my college roommate holding up a bottle of Revlon fresh beige.

I don't need help. Not anymore.

I stumbled into what my "bad days" really are.

(That’s a story for another night. This is one that shouldn't be told in the day…)

And accepted that this gift, this curse, this

Binding,

is not going away.

And so I move through a life,

I fit in,

skittering along the top, smiling, playing Minecraft, ordering food, binging on Netflix…

Just a regular person.

While underneath,

where there be monsters,

I fit in there too.

Life On Mars In Boston: Adjust Time On Hour

Possible Time/Space traveler (or perhaps just a schizophrenic homeless man) leaving cryptic messages and glyphs in the area of Allston, MA (from late Summer to Early Fall 2018).

These images are the main reason I had created both a Redit and a Tumblr, so that I could get answers to the meanings behind it all. If this subject matter piques any readers attention and if anyone can decipher the meaning behind any of it (if there is any at all) feel free to comment with suggestions of what they could mean!

After much research, I know SOME of these are indeed simple hobo symbology (ie: the feathered arrows featured below). However, there is some unknown imagery such as crosses/unfinished clocks, a circle with a "teardrop" left blank on the inside or including either an A, B, a DC or even a question mark! (+/-). This individual also has written messages to a "Lauren" (one legible the other not so much) and has an obsession with the U.S.A., Time and Mars. As a matter of fact that planet was visible to the naked eye during the first of happenings

A little backstory:

I first noticed him in late August/early September while I was on my way to work, waiting to cross the street. He is a short, thin straggly looking man with thick stubble, a gray mullet, wearing a red hat, wire rim glasses (80s style) and a brown blazer. He was sitting at the bus stop. Then, in a flash, I saw him manically get up and he started writing on an advert for a local gym that was on a city recycling/rubbish bin with a sharpie. After work I took a snap of it. It was the first of many *unfinished clocks.

***NOTE: A Reditor with the handle "Qualiawiddershins" concluded on the "Fringe Science" forum that these are known in psychological circles as "clock tests". In which delusional patients are instructed to draw a clock (from memory) by their Doctor in order to come back to reality and to come down from their mania. What intrigued this commenter was the fact that the subject was using this specific method for his own advantage in order to further justify his obsessions/fantasy world. END NOTE***

The next day revealed a rather large diagram at the very same bus stop where ad space is supposed to go. It contained plenty of A's, B's, what I call "teardrops" connected with the word "America" intersected with arrows and, of course Mars, up top and circled. I thought it was scientific, so a close friend (who has a legit background) theorized the following:

"I think he was a physical chemist. Electron cloud diagrams, charges, anion and cation exchange...Or maybe I've been staring at it for too long".

***NOTE 2: I uploaded the pictures on the Science thread. As it turns out, she was indeed looking at it too long. No science to it. Just incoherent ramblings and (as stated at the start of the post) some "Hobo symbology". END NOTE 2***

The blank area behind the route map of the same bus stop was also adorned with a compact oval version. Mars written in the middle curving arrows surrounding it, with A's and B's on each corner of the square surface!

That Saturday, I went clubbing. I passed a Bank of America ATM kiosk in which I had discovered his "Magnum Opus"! There were more mentions of Mars and more lettered circles with tear drops and clock tests! That's when I became tantilized and had decided to follow and record his work. Simply because of the strange, almost "Toynbee Tiles" aspect to it all.

The next few months I had decided to do some field investigations on my days off from work. That's when I realized there were markings in specific areas. Mostly where that certain bus route is!

He had labeled apartment buildings, restaurants, convenience stores. Mainly near doors, entance ways, and in the front, sides and in the rear of these businesses and residences. Hell, he even tagged an old fire call box, a window and a fire hydrant!!!

The message to the aforementioned woman read "Lauren, if you care PROVE IT". As I stated previously, this was in two spots, one readable the other...chicken scratch. They were both written on City Utility boxes. If it is the same person (and there are more teardrops and crosses/clocks on these, plus the handwriting is too similar for it not to be, in my humble opinion) this changes the ENTIRE narrative and it's absolutely heartbreaking.

I eventually returned and did a walk through video of the ATM Kiosk. There I found a body of water with numbered bouys where there appears to be a countdown. It's only after someone mentioned it I had realized that 9 repeats. More mentions of Mars. More circles w/ teardrops, crosses and clocks.

Then, there was a crude map of the United States listing (what I assume are) possible places where he has lived or visited and locations such as Cape Canaveral, NASA and Houston, Texas. Some of these locales have question marks over them (Like Kansas). There are even some local-ish areas he had jotted down (Sandwich and Falmouth).

There are also unintentionally humorous misspellings ("Welleft" = Welfleet Beach and "MinneSODA") and oddities such as a mention of Georgia Peaches and Manhattan being placed on the West coast. (Possibly in reference to the "Manhattan Project")?

Eventually they painted over his "Sistine Chapel". Only for a smaller version to appear on a new bus stop marker down the street with the message that read "Adjust time on the hour" and another map of the Good ole US of A, with Houston, TX and with Kansas bold, prominent and inside of a rectangle. (No question mark this time).

The last thing he had done is return to the freshly repainted ATM kiosk!!! There he started a bigger map ( of which remains an unfinished outline) and had drawn a message that read "Navigate" in a circle w/ teardrop with arrows pointing outward. Sadly, he had run out of black marker and used a barely noticeable red pen to finish a smaller scale US Map, with no mentions of other areas but Kansas front and center (and yes, enclosed in another rectangle)!

*** NOTE 3: Thinking it would be right up his alley, I have been sharing my findings with host of You Tube's " Down The Rabbit Hole" Fredrik Knudsen on Twitter and boy was I correct. It resulted in retweets and threads from him and a few of his followers. I often keep him/them up to date on anything recent. (ie: My recent realization that SOME of these markings are mere Hobo symbology or variations that there of) END NOTE 3***

Through the months of late August into early October he has been active. Since then, he has been quiet. The city had cleaned up or covered most of what he has done. I walked down the street to see if he had resurfaced after November Fourth because of his "Adjust Time on hour" message. Unfortunately, I had found nothing new at the moment of this writing but will continue to look.

Perhaps he had simply descended into the ether of his madness or he had truly ascended up into the Red Planet on the day Daylight Savings Time ended? For now he has vanished without a trace. Leaving no more markings. Will he reemerge? Who knows? (Ironically) Time will tell.

***NOTE 4: I have various photos and (full) videos here. Linked is my You Tube channel, which goes more in depth visually about what is contained in this blog. Enjoy!!! END NOTE 4***

Thanks so much for reading.

Life On Mars In Boston 2019: Time Adjusted

02/04/2019: A Star-Man at Star Market

The Allston Time and Space Traveler actually stopped by the store I work at tonight. I was stocking shelves in the canned veggies section, turned to my right and there he was! I had to do a double take to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Luckily, they weren't. He actually turned his head toward me and he and I were locked into eye contact. He gave a knowing glare.

He was adorned with the same windbreaker I saw him wearing that Wednesday at the bus stop near Dunkin Donuts and Great Scot. He was taller than I thought (Well over 6 foot). He was wearing a green knee brace on his right knee with gray baggy pants. He had either earbuds or some sort of modern technology dangling around his neck. White with orange dots. I did not have time to take a snap of this elusive individual because I was working at the time.

Last I saw him he was heading to the paper goods aisle. I helped make a cardboard bale, then took care of my cardboard and by the time I got back upstairs he had disappeared. I put my coat on. Moseyed to the front end and clocked out. Then went to the back of the store and into the bottle redemption area to see if he was still in the store or if he had written any more messages. Unfortunately he wasn't and he did not do any writings while he was there.

I will keep everyone updated on ANY future developments...

[bluraydisco]

#LifeOnMarsInBoston #TimeAdjusted #AllstonTimeSpaceTravelerReturns This is the 4th time he had marked this ATM Kiosk. He seemingly returns to it the first Saturday of every month. I found this today, 02/03/2019. I did a quick search of the meaning behind the digits. It pertains to what are know as "Angel Numbers". The plot thickens....

https://angelnumber.org/1441-angel-number-meaning-and-symbolism/

Perhaps the others he had made in the past aren't "Clock Tests" (as previously theorized)but some sort of numerical incantation? I will keep everyone posted on future findings.

Life On Mars In Boston 2019: 14|41 and State Of The Art

These are the latest in my documentation of the strange markings left by whom I call a time/space traveler and dimension hopper due to his “work”. However, in reality he is a homeless guy who is basically “outside”. On the “fringe”, if you will.

The “graffiti” of the numbers 14|41 (which can be seen on my last update post) was his FOURTH time marking up the Bank of America ATM kiosk on Brighton Ave. I did a Google search on it and the first thing that popped up was it’s correspondence to an “Angel Number”.

https://angelnumbersmeaning.com/angel-number-1441-meaning-and-symbolism/

I also had asked what it could’ve meant on Reddit. Someone responded with the Bible Passage of Mark 14:41:

“And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.”

(This is not a really cohesive explanation because of the fact that it was his fourth time writing on this specific kiosk and not his third).

It also may have something to do with Ancient Julian Calendars.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1441

Among many other POSSIBLE definitions. For instance, he could’ve just been recording the hour he laid pen to wall. 14:41 is 2:41 pm Military. Thus continuing his affinity for all things time!

The later video was taken at a Citizens Bank ATM Kiosk near Brigham Circle. I first became aware of these markings when my co-worker said she stumbled upon them and she had taken a short 8 second video.

So that Tuesday I waked all the way to the location and filmed more comprehensive footage. It is definitely the same individual, with his trademark Circle with a teardrop shape protrusion. This time with new messages.

Again, this last location was also en route of the 66 city bus. So I am sure he has used his Sharpie in other places. That’s why I ask anyone else who is in the area, if you see any more of these glyphs or writings let me know. Take a snap, take a vid and send me a message!

“State Of(f) The Art”(obviously out of sequence) and “Ein$tein” and, like the walk through video of his Magnum opus last year, the repeated number nine.
