In This Date and Time of September

Here is a blog I am presenting to readers in regards to past events (originally written in 2013).
J.R. Frieman


It is past 4:00 in the morning on September 11th. The year is 2013. My eyeballs feel as if they are about to fall out of my skull. The determination I feel in the dimly lit hallways of my mind command my fingers to type what is echoing in my thought processes. What subjects I find noteworthy are: The celebration of labor day, President Obama's speech, the mayoral race in New York City and the anniversary of the demise of the twin towers in lower Manhattan. Labor day is in theory the honoring the workers who have toiled in the fabric of our country. In reality, year after year opportunities for the American labor force have dwindled considerably as many manufacturing jobs have left our shores. 
Mainstream news reporting has shown an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm regarding the election results for mayor of New York City. They credit the democratic forerunner for his idea of using his son to promote what his father stands for and what he plans to do for New York City. 
President Obama's speech seemed rather baffling. If Syria carries out another inhumane act, then the USA will retaliate with "a military strike". What do we have a United Nations for?
Today is the anniversary of an unbelievable tragic event which took place in lower Manhattan. I need not say more.
In my closing I would like to mention that the weather forecast predicted a hot and humid day. My advice is this: try to stay cool in this climate changed world.
Spread good karma whenever you can.

SafeLink Wireless: Inefficiently at its worst

www.safelinkwireless.comIf you are an individual receiving food stamps, etc.; then you qualify for the free Tracfone and free wireless minutes. I am one of those individuals who find dealing with the inefficiency of Safe Link Wireless is appalling. Every time they request a confirmation of my contact information, they request that I go fill out a form on their website. When I follow these orders and try to submit my info, it does not go through and a phone number is provided to call. I suggest if you want to burn all your government sponsored minutes then give a call (providing you are free from any work or child care responsibilities for the remainder of the afternoon). Poor people know all to well what waiting is like for necessary services. Not too long ago Safe Link mailed a letter to me so I can confirm my contact info. That must have been about two months ago. Recently they sent me another letter asking for the same info. Did they not receive the first letter that I filled out?

Greetings to all of you on the climate changing planet. Stay cool and drink plenty of fluids. The dog eat dog days of summer are here and oppressing us. The air conditioning seems to be out of freon while the fans are just blowing hot air including my mind. Outside there is a refreshing breeze under the shade of several trees. This breeze is a godsend. Trees keep the area cooler and I am grateful for it. It breaks my heart to see trees cut down for so called progress. This kind of progress is sought after by those who are profit driven. Greed does not serve to benefit humankind or the creatures who inhabit this threatened earth.
HAVEN'T WE SUFFERED ENOUGH!

What's New Proletariats?

Greetings Proletariats! Are we driving our need of repair chariots? Are we living in the Marriott (courtesy of government assistance)? Is the NSA a big spying fat cat? Well read on National Security Association; I have something to say. Students are saddled with overwhelming debt from higher education while other individuals have to deal with the stress of where the government places them to live, cutbacks in food stamps and other social services. I for one wonder whether or not I will be a resident of this condo since my HomeKeeper Mortgage Account is still not clear if they will cover the discrepancy amount from Wells Fargo or not. 
Last night there was a documentary hosted by Brian Williams which covered the Goodwill Thrift Stores. They paid their disabled workers under $1.00 hourly while the "top brass" gets paid six digit figures and one in particular was paid over a million. Grant it even some of their CEO's are disabled, its appears that "trickle down economics" is hurting those who have sacrificed "to the bone".

WBAI: A May Day Message

WBAI: A May Day Message: The following report from R. Paul Martin was posted  May 1, 2013. May Day, ironically. It speaks for itself:
This is a Serious Concern of Mine
WBAI 99.5fm has been on the airwaves for 53 years now. Over 40 years ago I was a listener and student subscriber. After a long absence I came back to listen to this wonderful and informative radio station. WBAI now is under serious financial scrutiny and I am appealing to the public to help this beacon of free listener sponsored speech. Nowhere can you hear news, music, and commentary from any other corporate sponsored radio the way WBAI presents it. It is truth and not just corporate fluff. Visit this highly recommended radio station and find out more. www.wbai.org

INTERIOR VIEW of the ROOMS INSIDE MY MIND

http://twitter.com/rynkman    This is the time to use the internet as a diary. Many of us have a need to do this. The Interior View is captivating to the readers' eye. Visiting the Interior View is therapeutic. This writing activity is "food for the ego" and possibly "the super ego". Walking the dark corridors I visualize a tiny ray of light streaming through an opening no bigger than a pinprick. My eye peers through and notices activity in a dreamscape. An interpretation of dreamlike reality which appears to be real but is not. Have I discovered the key to the unconscience? Questions do arise in this shrouded hallway. This discovery is the cornerstone of my reasoning, neither good nor bad.

STRETCHING MY PAWS, RELEASING MY CLAWS


Stretching My Paws, Releasing My Claws 

As my digits type this, the thought of my inner self is on view: Live Journal, Multiply, Pulse.
BLANK SLATE:
Which we are born with. We do not die with an empty basket. The mind has been enriched with education and life experiences. This Inner Sanctum houses all. As the door opens to the inner conscience, a view is stripped naked. Here dwells the vulnerable self, sitting in the corner crying.
Hiding its face with its hands, a modest turn of its head peers at you, then immediately turns away.
We can be vulnerable yet have the courage to be strong. Acknowledge the vulnerable self and, like a stream, the river of courage flows.

We Are A Growing Number

My frustration is this: try getting free internet from the FCC. A growing number of citizens in the United States of America are joining the population of the poor. As we try to live on a decreasing monthly budget, food stamps, government assistance and SafeLink Wireless service, internet has become a necessity rather than a luxury. As this is being typed on a county library computer with internet access, the 60 year old author of this blog is experiencing the stuggle and invisibility that those of unfortunate circumstances experience. FCC free internet. My job experience and skills expand more that 30 years yet pursuing employment these past 2 years ended in no success. 
The FCC does not see the whole picture. In order to obtain necessary internet services they, as well as corporations, are blind to the fact of our existence. There is blog space on the FCC's site and I hope Mr, Genchowski and the others take into consideration what I had posted.
