#tim: it's free realestate

Jason: Also, why did you move into the theater right next to where B's parents were killed? That's a little fucked up, even for me.

Jason: If you sneeze, Jason: And I say, "God bless you." Jason: The only thing you should say is, Jason: "Thank you." Jason: I don't need to hear all of this, Jason: "How did you get in my house?" Jason: "Why is my window broken?" Jason: "I'm calling the police!" Jason: Ain't nobody got time for that. Jason: Be polite. Tim:

Is Real Estate About to Become the Next Gold Rush? This YouTube Video Might Change Your Investment Strategy

Imagine a world where anyone can invest in a piece of a multi-million dollar skyscraper, a luxury beachfront property, or even a sustainable community development – all from the comfort of their phone. This isn't science fiction, it's the future of real estate, unlocked by the revolutionary power of blockchain technology. ️

"Blockchain and tokenization are going to be as disruptive to the traditional financial system as the internet was to communication." - Tim Draper, Billionaire Investor [Source: Forbes]

According to a recent report by Deloitte, a whopping 80% of real estate professionals believe blockchain will significantly impact the industry by 2 [Source: Deloitte], with estimates suggesting the global tokenized real estate market could reach a staggering $1.8 trillion by 2027 [Source: Cointelegraph Research].

This isn't just about big numbers. Blockchain is poised to democratize real estate investing, making it more accessible, transparent, and efficient than ever before. Here's how:

Fractional Ownership: Traditionally, investing in     high-value real estate required significant capital. Blockchain allows     properties to be divided into digital tokens, enabling anyone to invest in     a fraction of a property, lowering the barrier to entry ([Source: Investopedia]).

Increased Liquidity: Selling a property can be a     lengthy process. Blockchain streamlines transactions, allowing investors     to buy and sell tokens representing real estate on secure, digital     marketplaces.

Reduced Costs: By eliminating the need for intermediaries     like banks and lawyers, blockchain can significantly reduce transaction     fees associated with buying and selling real estate.

The Rise of Private Equity and Sustainable Investments:

Private equity firms, family offices, and hedge funds are already taking notice. A case study by the University of Cambridge: link to be added found that 72% of surveyed institutional investors are actively exploring opportunities in tokenized real estate, particularly those focused on sustainable developments.

This presents a unique opportunity for investors seeking not just financial returns, but also a positive social and environmental impact. Skyline Property Experts, a leading real estate investment firm focused on sustainable development, is at the forefront of this revolution.

Ready to learn more? Watch the groundbreaking new YouTube video by Sustainable Investing Digest in collaboration with Skyline Property Experts, entitled: "Blockchain Revolutionizing Real Estate." In this video, you'll gain insights from industry experts on how blockchain is transforming real estate investing, the potential benefits of sustainable development, and how to get started on your own investment journey.

I'm writing this to just get rid of this 8 year long stress.

"the realest bitch" is a complete fake.

You can hate me, leave me, whatever.

Before I begin, I want it know. I really do care about everyone I've met here. I love you all,

Todlynn Krieg never exists. Her life doesn't exist.

THe person you've all been talking to for 8 years is Ashley. She is me. I'm sorry I've lied to everyone.

Not only that but...

Everyone I've talked about in my real life? Lies.

No Brian, Misa, Toby, Tim, Lily, Dena, Elle, Al, any of them. Except Erik. Erik is real. Erik is the only IRL friend I've ever had. We've been friends for 10 years now.

I'm a liar. Yeah, I lied about my life.

Well most of it.

I've never been married, I don't have friends IRL, just the people here, if you would still have me.

The only true shit is losing two friends to suicide, abuse, drug and booze, and self hatred.

when you feel the world is against you you just do whatever to cope. I never intended for it to go this far. I honestly thought no one would care. But people did, and I couldn't escape.

My escape from reality became my prison, and the longer I kept this up, the more and more I couldn't escape it. So I said fuck it, Ashley is dead and Tod will live. But Its too much now.

Go ahead and hate me, I don't care. I just want to be free of this fake life and be me again.

ask anything you want. i just want everyone to hate me as much as I hate myself right now.

Every "breakup" or whatever? I was having an episode. There's shit wrong with me and I lie to cover up I can't even deal with myself. So I blame my breakdowns on imaginary people.

You're all free to scream at me, hate me, and ask me what ever you want. 100% honestty from me now.

Let me have it.

[dooptown]

Tbh most of the people who know the Free Realestate meme dont even know Tim and Eric as a show

yea and it’s just so weird to think abt, but i guess it makes sense w/ all the younger people just getting online just in the past couple years

My Reaction to “Gotham” S1E18

Another non-chronological reaction post in the middle of the afternoon because I can... *sashays off into the distance*

P.S. I’ve been apparently spelling Oswald’s last name wrong in my tags but I’m too lazy to go back and change them  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AN:  I managed to record my reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post. 

*Jim tries getting hospital food for Alfred*  Aawww....

“Had a slight puncture. Leaked a bit.“  Just a flesh wound!

[Alfred] Tell him [Jim] it was Reggie!

*Bruce hugs Jim*  Aaww!

“Why not tell him [Jim] the truth?”  “Well, believe it or not, Master Bruce, Reggie's a mate...”  But he stabbed you!

“But he nearly killed you.“  Exactly!

*Alfred rips out his IV*  Why do people always do that?  They rip out their IVs?

No, nope!  Stay!  In bed!  You [Alfred] have a puncture wound!

“Ah.  [Fish] You're awake.“  *sings*  I’m wide awake!

The guy who plays Doll Maker looks really familiar.  What is with this show that has actors that look really familiar but I don’t know them?!?

*exactly eight seconds later*  Oh my God, it’s Colm Feore!  That’s Laufey from “Thor!”  Ohhh, it’s Loki’s dad!

*mimics Doll Maker saying ‘panache’*

*Fish rips out her IV*  Stop doing that!  God... dang it!

Oh it’s blue [Fish’s new eye]...

Oh, they didn’t have the jingle there.  Oooohh...

“The mystery witness was provided by Commissioner Loeb.“  Oh of course.

Go after the commissioner!

“Jimbo!  You heard the good news.”  Eff you [Flass]!

Did I just see Jeffrey Combs in the opening credits?

Please kill this dude [Flass] off!

“Ah, Detective Gordon. I had a presentiment I [Loeb] might be seeing you.“  Presentiment!  A new word for the lexicon!

*Bullock is revealed to be the mystery witness*  Nooo!

WHA- what?!?

So does this show do a thing where they at least try to mention the title of the episode within the episode?  Like in “Jessica Jones?”

Hi Kristin!

ED NO!

*running away to throw something away*  NO NO NO ED NO!  NO!

“But one can't always trust such an animalistic method to find a suitable partner.“  Nope!  Nope nope!  Nope!

“I know that you two [Kristin and Flass] were dating, and if the attraction wasn't intellectual How could it be with that gorilla? Then it must be physical.“  No!

“I've [Kristin] realized there are far better men in the world than Arnold Flass.“  Yes, thank you!  Thank you!

Ed, no, what are you doing?  What are you thinking?

I like that snow...

I wish we could see Harvey [Dent] more in this show.

They’re gonna hang out in a locker room instead of an actual interrogation room?  Really?

So does Loeb work for one of the mobs?  Or is he really corrupt?

What’d they do to her [random patient’s] face?!?

“Kidney transplant. We threw in a new face for free, and none too soon.“  *jaw drops*  WHAT?!?

That’s a nice study.

“When do you stop being you and become something new?  That's what fascinates me.“  Isn’t that the slogan from “Robots?”

Why be you when you can be NEW?

*jaw drops when we first see one of Doll Maker’s experiments*

This is some... Tim Burton shit!  But it looks CGI as crap!

“Ivy sneaks in a few times a week.  Steals food from the sickies.“  That’s mean.

*Selina hugs Bruce*  Awwww!

Lucky Cat!

Racketeering?  Or money laundering?

[Jim and Dent] Run through the kitchen!  There we go.

*Harvey comes to the rescue*  There we go!

That was a big ass knife that guy was swinging at Gordon!

Oh my God!

OH CRAP they’re [Jim and Harvey] going to Oswald!

*sing songs*  Heeeeccck noooo!

“I'll [Jim] owe you [Oswald] a favor.“  NOOOO!!!

“Five minutes with the files and a favor from Jim Gordon? Done!“  Nooo!  No!

Take a shot every time Fish waggles her finger.

“But first things first-”  I’m the realest!

“What would you prefer, Detective Bullock?  A sign saying ‘super secret blackmail hoard?’“  *chuckles*

“Uh-uh.  [Oswald] You’re coming along.”  Haha!

Jiiimmm!

“Uh, Margie was a nurse over at Arkham. And I working on the rail road.“  Arkham?  Really?

Why would you keep the keys to the door right next to the door?!?  Especially when it’s a secret door!

*Jaw drops when Miriam Loeb is introduced*

This is some Jane Eyre crap!  What?!?

Aw, he [Ed] got her [Kristin] flowers!  OK!

Aaauugghhh....

Who’s the actress that plays Miriam?

AN:  Nicholle Tom AKA the voice of Supergirl in the DCAU

“What’s it [Miriam’s jewelry] made of?”  “Bones!”  Ohhhh!

Oswald, what the hell did you do?

“I [Loeb] see you still haven't learned the art of knocking, Detective Gordon.“  One of his allies won’t either!

“[Jim] You're willing to hold my [Loeb’s] daughter hostage to achieve your ends?“  You better not!

“So it seems.”  *groans*  C’mon, Jim...

“With you [Loeb] I [Jim] have leverage.”  Over whaaat?

I like this music here.

“It's become something of a habit to stand up here with Detective Gordon-”  HAHAHA!  Oh my God...

This is such a fake smile, oh my God!

Penguin and his stupid hair!

Freaking... Oswald!

Where did they film this library or study for Doll Maker?

They’re [Doll Maker’s facility] in the middle of freaking nowhere!

*boogies out to ending theme*

#personal

I think around the start of the holidays until my birthday in the middle of February is the most alone I am every year.  Both of my parents still live in the state and are divorced.  I end up spending time with both in very intimate settings.  Yesterday I took my mom out for lunch in Chinatown.  I avoided the larger side of my family.  Being isolated isn’t something I’m uncomfortable with.  I’ve spent most of the better half of three years isolated.  I quit drinking around Christmas of 2016 and played my first show sober in New York at the turn of the year.  I set everything up largely by myself and it was so much work I don’t think I enjoyed it.  But that was the start of setting off on my own two feet and facing the world I’d become abandoned by.  Three years later I’m still down here anonymously typing away at whoever reads these.  It’s about the realest and most verbose I am aside from talking to myself.  The irony is that people would rather listen to other people’s explanations of me rather than read it from my brain.  This is just how society has come to be and a large portion why I stay far away from it.  I’m not particularly scared of confrontation.  People are real with me on the street in varying levels every day.  I write about it here and become desensitized to it.  But in the back of my head I wonder what percentage of what I’ve been through has been due to people not listening to what I purport to be.  Is anybody ever really listening at all?  I am a person that has faced responsibility dead on and found some things I didn’t like about myself.  I tried to correct those and fix things because no one else would help me.  People will give you sympathy for sure but no one really wants you to change.  Years later I find that large portions of my life aren’t really compatible with the society lurking outside my door.  I’m not too terribly radical in anything other than my acceptance and tolerance of people who aren’t like me.  For a person so far ahead of the curve I’m all by my lonesome more often than not.  This is not to say I particularly mind being by myself.  I spent most of the time organizing the space that I’ve lived in for over a decade.  I’ve held a salaried job for twice that many years.  The amount of times I’ve been taken advantage of is astronomical.  But for the most part I still wake up on Saturday a little wiser than before and live to tell the tale online.  A space where barely anybody knows who each other is but there’s a far deeper understanding to go with it.  You could be alone in the world and feel like nobody understands you and why you make the sacrifices you do.  That would feel miserable.  I know very well people understand exactly what I’m trying to say or do.  I also know letting the wrong people into your life will unravel the safety you’ve built around you piece by piece.  I’m reminded that every day I pass people from my past on the street.  People ignore me for years until there’s an emotional opening.  A holiday party.  An invitation to a game after being snubbed for an entire year.  A nostalgic conversation at a bar while drunk about how Tim is such an asshole .  Maybe flip through my instagram and like a few pictures for good measure than spend the rest of the evening talking shit about me.  Meanwhile I’m passed out in my bed full of tryptophan and left over turkey.  Same old shit just quieter and more apparent.  A few dollars more in my checking accounts and my subscriptions paid through the year.

If I’m bitter about anything it’s that a year from now people will know better.. Every year I do this and stay out of trouble is another year people get away with murder for free.  It’s been three years now since I started whatever path I set out on.  I quit music.  It never quit me.  In a half assed sort of way it still imagines me in some cryogenic stage.  Nostalgia is fucked up like that.  I am a very real and different person as I write these now.  But fragments of things I did in the past still haunt me in dissonant ways.  If I were sure of one thing it’s that what I write here chapter after chapter has an evolving narrative.  I understand myself completely.  I’ve been working out constantly for the past three years.  I quit the gym after being targeted and sexually harassed.  Same people followed me around the loop for awhile.  I write about it week after week and the only thing that changes is my routine.  I change parts of my life to cut these bullshit victimizations out.  And they fade in memory like they never happened.  People forget how many times they themselves have gaslighted me in public behind my back.  I know very well how people talk about me.  That’s why I avoid most people.  I don’t avoid writing truthfully about it on the internet.  You could read these, print them out, highlight them and approach me and I’d probably say “yeah that’s who all this is about.”  Nobody does.  It seems like that would be the most direct way to engage me.  Nobody does.  They take fractured bits of things I like and spew them back at me in a random order.  Try to manipulate me in ways that I’ve become seriously bored with.  I’ve also become less sensitive.  I think when .you have your life together in a peaceful way it’s easier to detoxify yourself from the radiation of social progress in America.  How can I afford that?  On a nonprofit salary I afford it by budgeting and staying away from impulses.  Drinking was one of the hardest impulses to delete from my life.  Years later looking back to the reasons why I can sympathize but cannot empathize with myself.  I wasted a lot of time.  I feel just as trapped as I did now.  I just face it more directly.  At least these days it’s other people that waste my time.  The time I spend with myself, my family or my cat is sacred.  I used to go to cafes and coffee houses and drink coffee by myself and read.  Now I do that alone at the kitchen table overlooking the train platform.  My apartment is finally furnished and full of life.  I’m far more organized than I was when I was chasing after other people’s approval.  I can’t walk a block without someone expecting something from me.  Expecting me to prove myself with no payoff.  Expecting me to be a superhero for something no one wants to give me credit for.  Simultaneously needed and shunned.  Three winters spent alone and I don’t really complain about it.  I just shrug and see how unhappy people are on the surface.  I look in the mirror these days and remember when I hid it.  Now I just see me.  I don’t regret anything.  I am sad that people don’t see me as someone they can respect.  Most people look in that mirror and lie to themselves that they have self respect.  And it haunts them more than poltergeists or fake tumblrs with good intentions.

I’m not really alone this year at all.  The cat that I started feeding on my porch now sleeps under my bed when I have the door open.  I have the luxury of locking her out at night when I sleep.  She scratches at the door at the same time every morning like an alarm.  It’s when I wake up anyway.  I work twenty minutes away and appear out of the ether like a vision every morning.  Sometimes I feel like I’m so seamless nobody even cares.  They just expect that I’ll be around and continue to do what I do.  I’m supposed to wait for a sign.  Then wait for another sign.  Then after three years still keep seeing the same signs that keep telling me to wait.  I didn’t go to New York again this year.  I spent every two months doing the same trip for over a year.  What has changed?  I have grown into something I like.  I feel more adult.  I feel more responsible.  I feel like I have a grasp on how much everything costs and why.  I feel like I’m ok by myself.  I feel like maybe one winter someday I won’t spend it alone emotionally.  But statistically speaking I only get better because I stay away from people who are unsure about the direction I am taking myself.  I start to think that everybody is full of shit.  That sure people can see how great I am in theory but they don’t want to recognize it in public.  What would that say if you suddenly agreed that I’m a good person?  I remember when you ignored everything I did because you wanted so desperately to believe I wasn’t.  I remember how wrong you were.  And people still have the nerve to parade in front of you like the bourgeoisie they are sans apology.  I was isolated and alone because I had no choice.  I took control of large portions of my life only to be greeted by people pressuring me to give up the reigns again.  It’s a dumb cycle.  And when I end up every Saturday at my kitchen table a little less broke and a little more ok with myself I exhale loudly.  It’s not a sigh.  It’s not even relief.  It’s an acknowledgement of just how fucked up the world really is and how lucky I am to not be wrapped up in it.  I tired.  Year after year I tried to be recognized for something.  There’s always some mediocre rich piece of shit to talk over you.  There’s always some public exposition required for you to be accepted.  I always thought writing here would be enough.  It is for the people that care about me the most.  You should already know why I do the things I do.  Why I stay home and go to bed at a reasonable hour.  Why I have all the coolest shit but am never cool enough for the people who matter.  Why I have nothing to hide after being ostracized and worse.  Why I don’t bother to complain anymore because people will just call me a hater.  How fed up I am and alone I feel.  I’m not sad.  I’m definitely not seasonably depressed.  I will be another year older.  I’m pretty old as it is.  I both feel it and don’t.  I’m young enough to know in five years time I’ll still be better than anybody will ever know.  And I know the last three years I’ve only gotten better.  I don’t plan on getting any worse.  I’m orbited far away from self destruction.  Maybe I’m just marooned on my own planet.  Like Hoth but with less American imperialism.  It’s still cold and lonely at times.  But it’s linked to the Star Wars universe so there’s a franchise in here somewhere.  <3 Tim

[bdotson46-blog]

Okay 'Mystic Pizza' lovers. After checking out our town home for sale, go for a ride to see where Julia Robert's classic 1988 movie was filmed. First off, like the bookshop in Notting Hill, there is a ‘Mystic Pizza’ which inspired the setting, but it’s not seen in the film. The real-life Mystic Pizza is at 56 West Main Street here in Mystic, CT. There are lots of memorabilia here and it’s your chance to pick up a ‘Slice of Heaven’ t-shirt. Also in Mystic, you can find the raised bridge, where Jojo (Lili Taylor) is horrified to find her prudish boyfriend has renamed his fishing boat Nympho. Mystic Bridge, Main Street, really is a working bascule drawbridge. The town’s other great attraction is Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea, 75 Greenmanville Avenue. A collection of sailing ships and boats, berthed at the recreation of an entire 19th-century seafaring village, it consists of more than 60 original historic buildings, moved to the 37-acre site and meticulously restored. It’s here that astronomer Kat lectures on navigating by the stars. The pizza parlour setting was created in an empty property at 70 Water Street in Stonington, a couple of miles to the east of Mystic. The building now functions as Stonington Harbor Yacht Club Sailing Center. Also in Stonington, a little to the south, you’ll find both the local bar and the restaurant. The ‘Peg Leg Pub’, where blowsy Daisy (Julia Roberts) impresses rich boy Charlie (Adam Storke) with her pool skills, is Zack’s Bar and Grill, 201 North Main Street, toward the north of Stonington. A block west of the ‘pizza parlor’ location, Daisy and Charlie enjoy a first date at seafront restaurant Skipper’s Dock Restaurant, 66 Water Street. It’s here that Charlie confesses he’s been thrown out of law school. But since that’s his dad’s schooner berthed outside, that hardly seems to be a major problem. At the eastern end of Church Street stands the grand, white-pillared mansion of the snobby Windsor family, where Daisy storms out of the family meal (yes, that’s Matt Damon in his first film role as Charlie’s little bro, Steamer). It’s 53 Church Street, opposite Orchard Street. Jojo’s wedding appears to take place in the village of Noank, on the coast southwest of Mystic. 78 Front Street, at Bayside Avenue, was the church where she keels over before the nuptials can take place. The steeple has gone and the building has been remodelled into a private home. Ford’s Lobsters, 15 Riverview Avenue, back in Noank, became‘Ferriera Lobsters’, to which Kat (Annabeth Gish) delivers pizza to her mom. The homes of Daisy, Kat and Jojo are east at the Rhode island border in Pawcatuck. Daisy and Kat live at 187 Mechanic Street, Pawcatuck, Jojo lives next door at 185 Mechanic Street. Just over the border in Rhode island, more locations can be found to the south of Westerly in the Watch Hill Historic District.

Skeletal Thoughts

“You look like a skeleton.” 

These words came from my best friends. Girls who knew the Before Morgan; the me who would have Tims for lunch every day in high school, who loved chai tea lattes and cheesecake brownies from Bean Brokers, and who would order pasta for every restaurant meal. That girl didn’t think about her weight. She was happy and free and awkward and innocent. 

Real Talk: I miss that girl. 

I digress. 

“You look like a skeleton.”

I wish these words made me sad. I wish these words made me scared. I wish these words made me burst into tears, breaking down everything, wanting to look a different way. 

They don’t.

Morgan’s Brain tells me I’m doing a good job; that being this way is right, that I’m well on my way to being perfect. My heart leaps at these words, at comments from coworkers about my weight, about my size. 

“You look thin.” These are the sweetest words in the world to me. 

They shouldn’t be. 

Morgan knows they shouldn’t be. But the voices are so loud, and Morgan’s voice just seems to fade away. 

“You look like a skeleton.” 

How can I explain? 

I don’t see it. I honestly don’t. Trying to put my own body image into words is like a big gray pencil scribble on a page. No shape, no size, not making any sense. 

I don’t know what my body looks like. 

Real Talk: This scares me. 

I don’t know whether what I’m seeing in the mirror is actually there. I don’t know if the way I see myself in clothing is the way I actually look. I don’t know what is right; what size is okay. What size is too thin. What size (God forbid) constitutes “fat”. Trying to sort through the voices in my mind, the constant battle between Morgan and her Brain, is so exhausting, and honestly I don’t really know if I’m making any headway. 

It would be better to just avoid the mirror.

Real Talk: It’s not that easy. 

This weekend was my birthday. Or my birthday party I suppose. I was really apprehensive, given that my birthday last year was such a letdown. I also found it really stressful. Perfectionism takes over every time I have to plan events. The cake has to be perfect, the decorations have to be stellar, I have to look perfect. It turns fun things like cake baking and house decorating into a much bigger deal than it has to be. 

I digress. 

It was lovely. I felt so very loved, so very glad that I have people around me who support me, who take time from their days to celebrate me. 

One of my best friends came down. I’m really worried about her. I feel like we are mirroring each other in our concern each other’s mental health, yet do not apply the same concern to our own self-care. We talked a lot. It was so refreshing, so liberating, to be so open with someone else about my own struggles, and to gain the understanding that I crave.

She’s having trouble with ED.  I know what she thinks. I know she sees me, the way I look, and yearns to be this way. I know she sees the things about me that I fought so hard to have; the bones, the thigh gap, all of the things that an ED addled brain equates with perfection. I know she doesn’t see her beauty. It breaks my heart.

I wish I could change it. I would give anything to make it different for her. I would never wish this way of life, this distorted mental monster on anyone. I would never wish the unending self-hatred and bodily destruction that come with ED on my worst enemy, let alone someone I love so deeply. 

Real Talk: I wish I could change it. 

Realest Talk: I don’t know if I can. 

 “You look like a skeleton.” 

I will never say these words to her, because I won’t be able to see it. To me she will not be a skeleton. To me she will simply be beautiful.

Scary.
