Life Lens - Entry 237

Before you run my name through the mud, make sure you tell the whole story. Don’t forget to mention how good I was to you, how much I did for you, and how hard I tried when no one else cared. Tell them how I was there for you, supporting you, even when it wasn’t easy for me. Make sure they know that you didn’t lose me until you lost all my respect. It’s easy to talk bad about someone when…

Don't cherry pick history. Learn all of it. Not just the good. The bad too. The history we were taught in school growing up was either sugar coated or straight up lies. The sooner this country not only acknowledges it but actually works on healing, the better chance we have to slowly move forward. It's gonna take everyone. I remain pessimistically optimistic. #tellthewholestory #learnthewholestory #historymatters #getuncomfortable #thisisamerica #thishasalwaysbeenamerica #racismisntdead #racismhasneverbeendead #fightforequality #fightforjustice #hemarathoncontinues #MLK #martinlutherking #blm #blacklivesmatter #ifyouarentwithusyoureagainstus ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6EzGCjsxl/?igshid=1vzfe0gsurl05

Happy 100th Birthday to Jack "Jackie" Roosevelt Robinson. He achieved what most couldn't, under the most grievous, oppressive and taxiing of situations; through all, he conducted himself with honor and class. Hated by most of his country and peers in the field; he is honored in death, but to leave out the bad is a dismissal of his true prestige... Hope. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾RIP The Immortal #42🕯️🥀🌹 #OneLove #history #ushistory #blackhistory #baseball #MLB #NLB #negroeleague #America #ThisIsAmerica #TellTheWholeStory #brooklyn #bk #nyc #brooklyndodgers (at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtTiddlnZ4V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vebevd6g5hz6

"Today we will hear about cases, spread and increased infection. But we need to

#TellTheWholeStory.

Governor Mike DeWine Why are we not clear that a positive test does not equal spread?

Why are we not clear that when positive tests don't translate to hospitalizations and deaths...that is a good thing?

And why do we still carry the false notion asymptomatic spread is prevalent?

See pictures below: the CDC has the entire country coded green, yet Ohio has a baseline color code of yellow? We don't even have green on our scale!! Not only do #WordsMatter, colors evoke emotion.

51 if our 88 counties have had fewer than 10 deaths since November 2019 and have seen the virus completely decelerate then decline in their communities. Nevertheless the best those counties can do is a code yellow, which according to the DeWine Administration means the counties are in a "PUBLIC EMERGENCY. ACTIVE EXPOSURE AND SPREAD."

There are counties categorized as level 3 "VERY HIGH EXPOSURE AND SPREAD. LIMIT ACTIVITIES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE." These counties are Huron, Cuyahoga, Trumbull, Franklin, Montgomery, Butler and Hamilton. These places are one step away from level 4--"ONLY LEAVE HOME FOR SUPPLIES AND SERVICES."

Yet, Governor-- you want to say the economy is open?

Governor, you released your advisory system on Thursday and inevitably caused immediate economic damage. Example: The Memorial Tournament will now not allow spectators and the Dublin community will suffer, not because the virus is spreading but because the revenue loss will be massive.

People who are scared can exercise personal choice and take precautions but why don't they know more about surface spread, asymptomatic spread and attributing the increase in cases to testing and not spread? We have put people in a fear-filled, illogical, unfounded place.

The advisory system stacks the deck and makes it very easy for counties to lose their autonomy and power-- based on ill-advised factors and advisory triggers that are not indicative of viral spread.

Let's look at the numbers yesterday for your "red" counties, those one step away from level 4--"ONLY LEAVE HOME FOR SUPPLIES AND SERVICES." Numbers for each county for July 5 (used 7/5 to account for a 24 hour reporting lag and today is 7/7):

Huron: 1 case, 1 hospitalization, 0 deaths (2 total entire time)

Cuyahoga: 46 cases, 9 hospitalizations, 0 deaths

Tumbull: 2 cases, 0 hospitalizations, 0 deaths

Franklin: 42 cases, 2 hospitalizations, 1 death

Montgomery: 2 cases, 0 hospitalizations, 1 death

Butler: 2 cases, 0 hospitalizations, 0 deaths

Hamilton: 3 cases, 0 hospitalizations, 0 deaths

The above counties are on the verge of being shut down.

Reminder: tests are being administered at pop up locations all around the state, at healthcare facilities to people seeking non-covid care, to college athletes reporting for camps, to people per work mandates--overall, the general population.

Almost all of the positive cases are asymptomatic, many people unaware they have/had the virus. Some positives include "presumed" positives (more on that later).

The tests also include antibody positives and false positives, and *one person testing positive multiple times*--which is why it's important to follow the progression to hospitalizations.

Testing has increased for a long enough period that hospitalizations and deaths would be massively increasing if what the headlines want us to believe is true--that these cases are going to result in hospitalizations and deaths.

Nevermind that deaths include those who died from covid AND those who died with a trace of covid in their system.

BTW, when did we Ohioans agree to having the goalposts moved from flattening the curve and ramping capacity to taking personal responsibility for the wellness of the 11.7M people around us?

If that mattered, why didn't Acton or Himes push exercise instead of masks? Why didn't we hear less about masks and capes and more about water, fruit, veggies, lean proteins and rest?

We are on the precipice of being shut down in various locations around the state. Yet our highest risk counties aren't even exibiting epidemic or pandemic numbers.

In fact, the CDC has seen a decline in deaths for over 10 weeks and is on the verge of downgrading covid from epidemic status because it no longer exhibits the fatal qualities of an epidemic.

**NOTE since many of you have asked, yes the CDC map (ILI NET) is being used to track covid and includes covid and covid-like illnesses--the site states the CDC is doing this in order to make this (c19) comparable to other flu seasons. That picture I added too.

Did you know that if you see a bright light in the sky that looks like a star but it isn’t twinkling, then it is actually a planet you are looking at??!! Fun things I learn from Jireh heh. I wish I was a kid again with all the time to read 📚. Recently I have had to explain (sometimes huffily, to be honest) that I can’t make a decision easily or give him an answer immediately because I’m responsible for all the kids and there are many factors I have to consider before I make up my mind. Maybe I’m really very envious of the amount of leisure time he has! 😏 #ohchooxconflicted #tellthewholestory

First, not being a hater BUT... I don't know if #ForbesMagazine is trying to increase its readership amongst the millienials and Generation Z, however, they need to stop throwing around the words #SelfMade all willy nilly, especially when it comes to the Kardashians. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kylie AND Kendall Jenner were famous and wealthy long before the infamous sex tape Kim performed in. Their dad was an Olympic athlete and their sister's dad was a famous lawyer (que up the OJ case). Usually self made implies that one has pulled themselves up by their proverbial bootstraps, struggled, and then persevered to beat the odds. I don't think that already living in the lap of luxury and having the opportunity to create a start up company and become a supermodel on a whim, surpassing so many others who were on that road before you, to be granted these privileges only because of your family name... Doesn't necessarily make for a "self made" story. Again, yes she earned it all, but I need folks, especially business professionals and business writers, to stop acting like the Kardashian name had nothing to do with Kylie Jenner's quick trajectory into superstardom and billionaire status #NotSelfMade #NoStruggleBus #KardashianCoattails #BruceJennerWasYourDad #TellTheWholeStory https://www.instagram.com/p/BuqkcYxAmZg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1difp0v7ph3e0

2nd Task: Replacements (part 1)

2nd Task: Replacements

Part 1

"Welcome, Nigel Storm," says a disembodied voice in a dark room, "You've been selected to act as a guardian of the Outside Counsel. Due to your abilities and strengths, you will assume the role of The Adventurer: Model: Pirate.

Before you are tossed into the fray of battle, you will learn and understand your duties as a member of the Outside Counsel.

The Outside Counsel was created to protect the five worlds of BellCrone from threats known as Meanders. The Outside Counsel is comprised of selected individuals to act as guardians. The guardians are represented by the five titles:

The Knight, The Rouge, The Adventurer, The Ranger, and The Mage. The guardians are expected to uphold all that their Title represents. Once selected as a guardian, there is no declining your duty. As a member of the Outside Counsel, you will gain knowledge, power, wealth, and embark on many adventures.

Every guardian has a role to play in every TASK that is given to The Outside Counsel. A TASK is a mission to save one of or all 5 of the worlds from a hostile living threat, better known as a Meander. Meanders are powerful individuals from other dimensions endowed with abilities unbeknownst to the five world of BellCrone. During each TASK every guardian is graded on their assignment completion as well as their ability to assist the team. If a guardian fails two consecutive missions or 5 total missions they will be deemed "Unfit" and forced to leave their title in shame. The consequences of being a guardian are severe and can even be brutal. A guardian serves their time until they are killed in the midst of a battle against a Meander. When a guardian is killed during a battle, they are immediately whisked back to their 'Life' and have no recollection of their time served, but live on until they are meant to end. Nigel Storm as The Adventurer your role is to leap into battle fearlessly and mow down any foes that stand before you.

Your first mission is about to begin. Your assignment is as follows. Good luck!

Nigel Storm

Age: 18

Title: The Adventurer: Model: Pirate

Assignment:

Display your strengths and protect The Mage.

TASK:

Destroy Meander with "God Complex" ability

"Wait! What? I'm not a fighter!" shouts Nigel as he is enveloped by a warm light.

In a flash, he is transported to the current TASK.

 In the 3rd world of BellCrone in a small kingdom by the ocean, a man was recently dubbed a God by the people due to an undeniable display of god-like powers. The man was praised by the people after he redirected the flow of an erupting volcano with his mind. He gained the attention of the Queen when he quelled the quaking earth with a simple touch. The King of the kingdom was ecstatic to have a man with such power in his domain and invited him to the castle. The man was tall, packed with muscle, and wore lavish silk garments. He indulged the kingdom's royal family with stories of grandeur and adventure. The King applauded the man's story and invited him to stay in the kingdom and serve as his advisor.

"You don't even know the man's name yet you offer him such a position?" The Queen boldly asks.

The King's brow wrinkles, he opens his mouth to respond, but the Queen continues, "We don't even know his name."

She glares at him, and her features are sharp as swords, her eyes cold as ice. The man doesn't falter, as the King opens his mouth to respond, he bows and says, "Please forgive me, I am a traveler. I explore the earth beneath my feet to see all that there is to see. You may call me Tiandrey Goodfellow, I have no home and I never look back. What lies behind me is forgotten."

The King applauds, "Tiandrey, you have such a way with words, in your travels, you should write, you can begin with our fountain."

The Queen glares at the King and all the soldiers in the room gasp.

"He saved us from Mt. Rex's molten wave," the King says standing from his throne. The king's features are squarer than the Queens, and he's much taller than she is.

"I have no interests in treasure, or writing, my only wish is to see what lies before me and forget what's in my wake," Tiandrey says

"Nonsense, there is no sight like our fountain," The King says as he grabs Tiandrey by the arm and guides him down a long narrow corridor.

Twenty guards escort the King, Queen, and Tiandrey. Tiandrey and company march through a series of corridors, and finally, after only walking down three steps, they stop at a small wooden door.

"The Queen and I shall escort our guest beyond this point," The King announces as he places his hand on the door knob, the sound of chains falling, and bolts unlocking fills the small hallway and the door swings open.

A vacuum sucks the King, Queen, and Tiandrey into the room, the sound of rushing water fills the air, the smell of wet permeates the air, and there is a moist taste to the air. Tiandrey finds himself standing on a platform surrounded by jagged stalagmites jutting six feet upwards in the air in some areas and others only 3 feet. Beyond the stalagmite, wall water crashes from literal stone mouths on etched into the face of a jagged wall.

"This fountain is known as the 'Gossiping Gods'" the King says, his cheeks blushing red as he admires the beauty of his small kingdoms treasure. The Queen is at Tiandrey's side when and asks, "Have you ever seen anything so stunningly perfect before?"

"I have, in my travels," Tiandrey says, the Queens brow wrinkles and he continues, "of course this is one of the only marvels left. The others have been-"

Tiandrey is cut off by a flash of light and the sound of two gunshots. The King and Queen are sent flying through the door, the guards are sucked in and the door slams shut.

"Didn't know about the vacuum, sorry to have gotten you all involved in this," Abraham's calm voice says as the bright light fades.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" One of the guards says drawing his sword. His fellows in arms join him, and they stand shoulder to shoulder surrounding Tiandrey. He stands amongst the soldiers towering over each of them. Abraham chuckles, "Law Man Abraham of the Outside Counsel and I have my means."

"What did you do to the King and Queen?" The guard shouts.

"Saved them, I hit them both with safety shots. They take whatever it hits to the safest place in 100 miles," Abraham says stepping forward with his hands up dangling his Glock 9mm's by their handles.

There is another flash of light and in the middle of the platform Gris appears, she doesn't say a word instead she begins to dance. The soldiers watch her confused by her sudden appearance. Abraham drops his guns in his holsters expertly and pulls out his Magnum Revolver, he aims at Tiandrey's head and pulls the trigger. The bullet cuts through the air the shell explodes, and the ball begins to spin even faster. Tiandrey smirks, and the round changes its direction, and one of the soldier's heads explode. The guard closest to the fallen soldier drops to his knee removing the soldier's gauntlet from his wrist and tossing it in the air, a second later it explodes.

Abraham is shocked, and is caught off guard as a guard charges towards him with a battle ax raised over his head, "I shall avenge you, father!" He shouts.

Abraham pulls the trigger again, and the soldier's leg is blown clean off. The soldier falls face forward, and Abraham removes his hat, "Sorry Kid."

The eighteen remaining guards charge Abraham all at once while Tiandrey watches intently. As the guards closed the distance between them and Abraham, two more flashes of light blind them momentarily. Both Franc and Mineko appear and charge forward. They engage the soldiers in an epic clash. Both Franc and Mineko's swordsmanship is unique, and with ease, they overwhelm all 18 of the soldiers at once. Tiandrey begins to applaud, and the soldiers retreat to his side. One of the soldiers shouts, "The God will protect us!"

They all begin to cheer and Tiandrey glares at them and chuckles. His voice is profound, "You are in my wake, none of you shall live beyond this day."

He looks to the soldiers, his eyes flash red, and they all step forward. They lift their swords, charge forward blindly wielding the blades with deadly precision. Mineko leaps over the soldiers and with blinding speed races towards Tiandrey. She jumps in the air with her bokken overhead when she gets within striking distance he trades places with four guards. She pulls her attack but still manages to deflect each of theirs. A volley of shots bounces off the walls and the soldier’s collapse where they stand. Mineko gasps and glares at him.

"Relax, I just knocked them out," Abraham says reloading his twin Glocks.

Tiandrey starts to laugh and asks, "Why do you mere humans stand before me with toys?"

"Aren't you human?" Franc asks.

"I am superior to humans, unlike you. I have transcended all," Tiandrey says.

"If you're superior what are you?" Mineko asks.

"I am a God!" Tiandrey shouts laughing darkly with his arms extended at his sides, "Let me show you."

Tiandrey closes his eyes and starts to whisper the soldiers rise from the ground seemingly still unconscious, audibly he says, "Fight to the death until only four of you remain."

The soldiers begin to roar, and in a matter of seconds, they engage in a deadly battle. A guard pierces the heart of a warrior, and 3 seconds later his body explodes setting off a chain reaction. In an instant, only seven soldiers are left standing.  Tiandrey applauds howls as blood splatters the platform, body parts littering the stalagmite wall. He wipes the blood from his face and licks his hand.

"Delightful isn't it? This king is so barbaric if his soldier's heart stops their bodies explode. You all must be used to the carnage of this caliber not one of you have looked away," Tiandrey says.

"You are no God," Franc shouts as he approaches Tiandrey with blinding speed, he turns the clock on his face to read 7:07 and jabs his sword in Tiandrey's direction. Tiandrey claps his hands, "This is where I show you how much of a God I am."

One of the soldiers leaps in front of Franc's attack and starts to slow down. Tiandrey pulls a small razor from his pocket and stabs the tip of his finger. He touches the guard affected by Franc's ability. The guard begins to transform into some tick-tock beast.

"I'll call this one, Puzzle," Tiandrey says.

Puzzle's body is made up of cogs and gears, he began to spin adjusting to Franc's ability and charged towards him. Mineko dashes towards Puzzle to intercept, but is cut off by another soldier. Mineko swings her bokken, and the guard deflects her attack, Tiandrey flicks blood towards the soldier, the blood splatters over the man's face, and in an instant, the soldier's grows twice his original size his sword transforms into a metal club.

"I'll call this one Brawn," Tiandrey says laughing.

The soldier manages to push Mineko backward, the sheer force of the club forces her to make a hasty retreat. She flips backward away from the brute. Another soldier appears behind her, and a shot rings out.

"I was hoping you'd do that," Tiandrey says as the bullet knocks the soldier off his feet, he spills blood on the soldier, and says, "This one will be called Bullseye." The soldiers get up and toss his sword at Abraham who shots at the sword. The bullet curves around the sword and slams into Bullseye's chest and he absorb it. The sword grazes Abraham.

"What did he just do?" Abraham shouts

"He manipulated our attacks and enhanced the soldiers based on the elements of our strengths. He's no standard Meander," Franc says

"You are quite intelligent for a lesser being," Tiandrey says, standing over the fourth guard. He raises his hand snaps the man's neck then drips blood into his open mouth. The man begins to spin, and his contorted body stops with the man in a handstand.

"I'll call this one, Boa," the man seems to coil around Tiandrey like a snake, "Go kill the dancing girl."

"Abraham! Gris needs cover," Franc shouts as he clashes over and over with Puzzle.

Abraham unleashes a barrage of shots in every direction, but they all redirect towards Bullseye.

"He's got me locked in," Abraham shouts reloading his guns, while Bullseye recovers from the bullet holes.

"If only Pearl were here," Franc says

"Not now Franc! Don't start your depression shit now," Mineko shouts

"Why not If she were here we wouldn't be in this predicament," Franc says as he avoids Puzzle's attacks with ease.

Boa moves towards Gris on his stomach as she continues to dance unbeknownst to the danger that approaches. Mineko feigns an attack against the oversized soldier and leaps over him and races towards Boa. Brawn roars, and in seconds he catches up to her and swings his massive club at her, she lifts her bokken, but only manages to redirect his attack with her sword slamming it the ground. The platform begins to split but holds firm. There is a flash of light as Boa gets up on two feet with claws for hands, he covers his eyes for a moment. A short, thin man covered in tattoos with a bandana on his head, an eye patch over his left eye, with a missing left arm and a left peg leg, with a mop over his shoulder, and a bucket at his feet appears. Nigel stands before Boa and tilts his head, "Are you the Mage?"

"No, he's the enemy boy," Franc shouts, "Protect the girl behind you."

Nigel turns to see Gris dancing elegantly, Boa raises his hand to impale Nigel, but the bucket on the ground springs to life and slams into Boa's chin knocking him backward. Boa begins to spin and lunges towards Nigel from a crouching position. Nigel turns just in time to fall back evading the attack. Boa trips over Nigel's peg leg and falls face first into the bucket breaking his neck, killing him instantly. Tiandrey growls and asks menacingly, "Who are you?"

"Nigel," he says meekly, he squats next to Boa's body and pokes him with the mop, "I don't think he's going to be okay." He lifts Boa's dead arm it falls to the ground with a resounding thud.

"Neither are you!" Tiandrey shouts he switches places with Boa's body and stands before Nigel, who smiles uneasily.

Tiandrey swipes at Nigel with his blade, but Nigel ducks out of the way to tie his shoe. When Tiandrey twists the knife in his hands to bring it down, Nigel stands up with the mop in his hand slamming the handle between Tiandrey's legs on accident. Nigel cringes with him and says, "Sorry."

 The new Adventurer takes the stage and steals the show. Who is Nigel, and what is he made of? Stay tuned for more of the Outside Counsel’s adventures. 2nd Task Part 2 coming soon. If you want to catch up with the full story you can check out the Counsel Log at:
