Watch Out there are some Dual Destinies Spoilers Below (if that is An Issue to you):

Originally I scribbled these to a song I was listening to at the time that inspired me . There was More but they didn't turn out so well . Perhaps One day I'll return to these

This Life (Prt 2)

(I've reached my word limits whoops) So where was I? Ah yes, so I said my goodbyes and asked Cat for one last favor. If he could contact my cousin to let her know I was at the park waiting for her. After that she found me and I broke down in her arms, I gave the man back his phone and thanked him for bringing me to my cousin. (by the way same one I've been mentioning all this time) She took me back to her place and we explained to her parents (Leaving out the fact that I rode a motorbike and had a grab driver drive me here, they all still believe I walked all the way there and got through the security guards of the subdivision) They took me in and told my dad what happened, my dad then told my mom where I was... I refused to go home so I stayed in their house for almost a month. I was getting quite used to living with her... But mom called me back home despite me not wanting to. I felt ashamed, unloved, and all that shmuck. Anyway she still came to get me and I was brought home, we spoke and cleared things up. Oh yes I am still in trouble. But she forgave me anyway. It was a very constant reminder that...She as a mother forgives me despite the fact I've done this multiple times, its always a guy! But I did my best to make it up to her and win her trust back. Six months passed and I still haven't reached out to anyone, I wanted to continue writing my stories so I did, I was in my google docs and...I kind of missed talking to my friends J and A (A is a girl I've been friends with since 4th grade all the way to grade 6, then I left for homeschool right? Well as soon as we turned grade 8 She followed along and went homeschooling, there was a time that I couldn't handle J's art requests so I referred him to A and my cousin, the four of us clicked and we've been friends ever since) But I wasn't able to talk to them after the whole problem right? So my cousin became my messenger, I'd send her emails and messages to relay to J and A, until we decided to just lay it all out on a google docs, I was in my Harry Potter phase that time so I joked about my cousin being my owl, and the google docs sheet as the Owl inventories... That name stuck ever since. We would chat there, IN GDOCS! and we would write stories together and all that. Soon after I was allowed a phone a g a i n, this time I can be trusted! I spoke to my friends in Instagram, (We call ourselves the Owls!) then we got to making a discord server, and eventually we all just grew closer and closer, It seemed like life is brighter now in a way... 2022 was ending soon, and my mom wanted me to go back to a regular school before senior high, so grade 10 I enrolled in a school that... I attended when I was 4 years old from Nursery until 2nd grade (Context I've been to 3 schools in all my life so far. 1st school was Nursery to 2nd grade, 2nd school was 3rd to 6th grade, Homeschool 7th-9th and then going back to the 1st school for grade 10) So I did, and you'll never guess what happened after...

July 2022

Before school started (It starts September) I joined a free workshop lyrics writing class, there I met Teacher R. He was a kind old teacher whose been teaching there for years (Actually they said he was my old music teacher but I dont remember him at all) In that class was my one other face to face classmate, F. At first I thought F was a teacher, nevermind he was a 12th grader! Not only that he was the Student Council President, Class President and Top student! So wow I thought, I get to meet and be friends with someone who would give me advantage to adjust in this school life again hooray...I thought we were equal when it came to music...nevermind he played ukulele, guitar, he can sing...and play the piano! When he played the piano my competitiveness arose, and I asked who taught him... It was none other than Teacher R! So I asked him to be my teacher, and I took up piano lessons, so starting every Tuesdays and Thursdays after class, I'll head down to the school's piano room for my piano lessons...

Sept2022-2023

I return to my old school, wow did it look familiar at the same time all so different! When did they install an elevator?! I thought wow cool, I'm probably gonna like it here, I found out that some of my old friends I've known since what--diapers? Nursery! Were still there, most of them were still there and only a few unfamiliar faces. I was a returnee student so some of them knew me and some didn't, There was also a new girl who enrolled along with me, Y. She's a Japanese girl who came to our country to study English. Problem is... This school require students to study CHINESE. Me and Y became classmates for our Chinese classes, with that we became good friends. After Chinese class I would go down to the piano room and she would follow along and hang around while I'm learning. A few days of that happened and eventually another girl approaches me, she's Cz. She became a really good friend to me and honestly I love her. The piano room soon filled with more new friends, the most frequent one who tend to make it their routine to join me as I take my piano lessons was Y, Cz, S, Rat, and Ax. Oh they were such fun friends but there was a growing problem... I started becoming really close with S... thats bad, i denied anything and said oh of course we're just friends (We were....WE ARE! Its just theres a bit of something?) And the problem was... Cz also started to like S! SO OH NO-- Two for one is not a good deal guys... So many problems happened but me and Cz never fought, we would give away our desires and would step back for the sake of the others happiness. S on the other hand was confused. S liked me (i didn't know that) and I liked S. We hung out together in a mall (Was it a date--) after that I didn't feel like it was working and Ax was just putting thoughts in my head that confused me all the more... So I distanced myself and Cz confessed to S... Confused, S confessed back to Cz and they became mu. They didn't date, but it was painful to see them so close together before... Eventually Cz realized she didn't like guys who liked her back (Red flag behavior but I love her back off, I'll protect her with my life) And we all took time to sort things out, eventually Me and S became friends again and got closer and closer, bonding over cosplay and anime and we planned to go to a con with a group of friends. So we did. We went to the con and we've been establishing that no feelings, just friends, just friends and nothing else... That con is a curse. The place was crowded, the lines were long, the sun was shining and it was really hot. From the lines the sun hit my eyes...ah...S gave me his jacket to cover my head... Okay thanks... As the line moves we were getting tired standing for hours to get in, S leaned on my backpack... his arms draped around my shoulders, (was I blushing or its just the heat) We got in and we stayed to watch a valorant match. Ah oh no... we got separated from our group of friends, we push our way through the crowds...I hold on to his backpack. It's really hard to do navigate this way... He took my hand and said it's just so we won't get lost. Ah so our friends are on the second level of the building, and there is only two escalators on each side, and both have really...really...really...long lines. So we stayed lining up, tired so tired... He was basically hugging my neck as he leans on me, oh my mind was racing indeed. we're just friends, we're just friends, we're just friends,we're just friends... In my head I would fight my battles, everytime his hand brushed my shoulder I would ask him what is he doing? You know what he'd do? (He's an MMA enthusiast, He loves to box, wrestle, sword fight, do martial arts and stuff) He'd CHOKE HOLD ME JOKINGLY Like I will bite your arm if you do that one more time! We're such goofy friends, I liked our dynamic, we understand one another... I like his personality... His laugh... everytime he would geek out and ramble on about robots, swords, video games and anime I just couldn't help but listen and find him interesting.

*****

Roger Waters married Kamilah Chavis.

*****

Stay away from Faux news, except perhaps from the Onion or SNL, U know, something like that.

*****

The 36th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted LLCool J, Carole King, Tina Turner, The Go-Go’s, Todd Rundgren, Jay-z, Foo Fighters, Billy Preston, Randy Rhoads, Kreftwerk, Gil Scott-Heron and Charley Patton. Clarence Avant received the Ahmet Ertegun award.

*****

The 74th Tony’s were a little different with less noms because of Covid. Lead actress in a play went to Mary-Louise Parker. Featured actor in a play went to David Alan Grier.

*****

Michael Keaton will reprise Batman in the Flash.

*****

If paying a cashier a living wage will make prices go up, why doesn’t replacing cashiers with self -check outs make prices go down? –Sally McManus

*****

I thought the new Home Sweet Home television program would be a little too sticky sweet for me but it was a swap show I found interesting. It was nice to highlight the differences in a good and open way instead of the way our society has bent recently.

*****

Alex Jones was held liable for damages in 3 defamation lawsuits by the parents of children killed at Sandy Hook.  The amounts are to be determined. ** I think the only way to get these liars and fear mongers to shut up is to sue them. They love to use the court system and the only thing they really care about is money so why not hold them responsible?** I mean, one gets to the point where you do not care anymore about hurting the trusting, naïve conservative because they don’t seem to give a damn about the rest of us.  The truth is out there and it is not our fault that they won’t seek it.

*****

Days alert: Why does Chloe keep putting up with Brady’s nonsense?** Oh, Marlena.. Your Devil and the costume are top notch!** Thanks, Days for the tributes to Tony and Anna and Abe. Let’s celebrate the best characters on the show some more!!!!!  If Nicole falls for EJ again, I can never again look at her with a straight face. It is hard as it is after a bump in the road sends her drunkenly to Xander but it is Xander?? !! We need to see Victor and Maggie reaffirm their love!

Dollar Tree say they are getting requests to have higher priced items in stores so they are testing that in some markets. Yikes!

*****

The last week of October brought 13 tornados to Chester, Il.

*****

So, everyone I know was talking about Chapelle’s The Closer. The show is funny at times but there is just so much bitchin’.  I was not really glad that I saw it. Those opposing have a great point and his arrogance did grate. But, ultimately he is a comic and that is what they do, they push it. And that is why we love Netflix, because they do not censor. Turn it off if U hate it, spread the word but the dude should talk if people want to hear it. And after the whole thing, I was brought to tears with Norm Macdonald at the end. We miss U so much Norm!!

*****

There is also a lot of talk about social media which seems to put all teens thru the syndrome of being a child star. There is not much isolation and lots of rejection from the vultures.  In the end, and as always, great parenting makes all the difference. There needs to be a buffer. The things that used to be said behind one’s back is right there. Behind the back was thought to be a bad thing but people got things off their chest without hurting feelings.

*****

Is this deep fake video stuff what we have always meant about the robots taking over?

*****

So, I never watch the Tonight show but Cobie Smulders and Seth Meyers were on so I gave it a go. I will never understand why people enjoy watching them play these silly little games. I see why I have stayed away. It is a shame, Fallon was quite funny on SNL but I do not understand this mimicking yes man he has become.

*****

Last Night in Soho looks great!. Ditto for this Velvet Underground biopic.

*****

Ok, I wasn’t sure at first but Double Feature is one of my favorite seasons of AHS.

*****

Why has the corporate world made it so hard to get hired? Ads pop up in the middle of online applications and actual company sires direct you to other sites that misdirect you. Some managers don’t even seem to know how people can apply at their own stores after doing away with paper apps. What?

*****

New statistics show that the 17 thousand citizens that have been killed by police is actually closer to 31 thousand.

*****

So, Cosby thinks R. Kelly got railroaded? Yea, that is about right.
