[0:01]So, it's Monday night,
[0:04]almost midnight. So, it's almost
[0:06]Tuesday.
[0:10]Sitting here drinking a hard selzer.
[0:12]Just one today.
[0:15]A little bit high or was
[0:18]maybe just tired. It's pretty late. I'm
[0:21]pretty tired.
[0:25]Hi, earlier. Maybe a little still. I
[0:28]don't know.
[0:30]The reason my teeth are out are because
[0:33]my bottom dentures have gotten pretty
[0:35]bad in the last month
[0:38]and getting really hard to wear.
[0:42]Um,
[0:44]really uncomfortable.
[0:46]I had a soft liner in them that my
[0:48]dentist put in there right before I left
[0:51]Kentucky.
[0:54]And, you know, it's not permanent. and
[0:56]it disintegrated basically just maybe
[1:00]slowly
[1:02]just just disappeared basically. So
[1:06]they're real uncomfortable to wear. For
[1:09]a while I was adapting by using um the
[1:12]glue and the glue kind of acts like a
[1:14]cushion and that worked for a while.
[1:17]There was one point where I even started
[1:19]cutting pieces of it because it was
[1:21]cutting up my my gums and
[1:25]did that myself.
[1:27]Normally you would have a dentist do it.
[1:31]And then I started putting these strips
[1:32]in these cloth strips. They're called
[1:37]Seab Bond, I think.
[1:40]and that kind of works, but
[1:43]really only last a couple hours before
[1:45]you really need you need to change them
[1:47]again. They're just it's not a great
[1:49]solution. And then I tried
[1:52]all of these things I learned from AI,
[1:54]by the way, was
[1:56]these adaptations I've been making.
[2:00]So then I also tried putting in a
[2:02]temporary liner. I forget the expression
[2:06]for it, but it's a temporary liner.
[2:10]um makes like a rubbery substance that
[2:13]molds to the inside of your dentures so
[2:15]that you know they're more comfortable.
[2:18]That didn't even last a day.
[2:22]I didn't
[2:24]um
[2:26]like mold well to my my dentures. Maybe
[2:29]because there is still a soft liner in
[2:30]there, I think. I'm not really sure. I
[2:33]think so because it seems like I get the
[2:35]impression like it's peeling at the
[2:38]edges
[2:40]and they're just not great right now.
[2:41]They're real uncomfortable to wear.
[2:44]I do much prefer seeing myself with
[2:47]teeth, especially when I get on video
[2:50]really when I interact with anybody.
[2:55]I know that I spent six months on camera
[2:59]without teeth, but
[3:01]and I always said I'm not ashamed, and
[3:03]I'm not. It's not about shame. It truly
[3:06]isn't.
[3:09]It's just um I look better in teeth. I
[3:13]like the way they look. They're really
[3:14]nice.
[3:17]I care about my appearance,
[3:21]but
[3:23]they are like hell. So, I'm not wearing
[3:25]them.
[3:26]I just wanted to start with that because
[3:29]it's the thing that people will notice,
[3:30]right? It's the first thing they'll
[3:31]notice when they click on this video is
[3:33]that
[3:35]that's why my very first video, the very
[3:37]first video I ever recorded, I started
[3:40]off with that, too. Cuz I'm always
[3:43]aware, you know, of how other people
[3:45]perceived me. And one thing I've noticed
[3:49]is
[3:50]people will fixate on a thing and then
[3:52]they don't look any deeper.
[3:55]And
[3:57]it's sad, but that's that's what it's
[3:59]like.
[4:01]And I feel like you diffuse some of the
[4:05]power and um that people could hold over
[4:09]you if you didn't just address it
[4:11]yourself or they think they could turn
[4:13]it into a joke or
[4:16]um insult or whatever. I mean, how are
[4:19]you going to do that after I [ __ ]
[4:21]acknowledged it, right? This is how I
[4:23]think. So, that's why we start with
[4:26]that.
[4:30]I think my videos are going to change.
[4:33]Still uploading them to YouTube, but as
[4:35]unlisted videos, and then they're going
[4:38]to get synced to my website. It's the
[4:40]only place they'll be available.
[4:44]Um, not really that many people even
[4:47]know about my site.
[4:50]I haven't really even thought about how
[4:51]I might
[4:54]um I don't want to use the word promote
[4:57]cuz I'll never do that. But
[5:01]how I will get the signal out, I guess I
[5:04]would say. I don't know.
[5:07]Um
[5:10]whether or not it grows, I don't know
[5:11]that either. I'm not, you know, it's not
[5:13]why I'm doing it. And
[5:16]doesn't mean that I don't appreciate
[5:18]people who watch me who
[5:21]are truly watching. They're not just
[5:23]like
[5:27]they're not using me as a distraction or
[5:29]as u
[5:33]a way of deflecting
[5:37]their own life, you know. Um it's hard
[5:41]to explain. And I don't know how to put
[5:42]that into better words.
[5:44]I think a lot of people do this. I think
[5:47]that they
[5:50]maybe look at my life and compare
[5:55]themselves to me and
[5:58]use that to make themselves feel better
[6:00]maybe because you know they're
[6:03]misrecognizing me when they do this. So
[6:06]they're not seeing the depth. They're
[6:08]not seeing
[6:11]you know, they're seeing their
[6:12]projections is what it is. And I'm not
[6:15]sure how we got on to this. I completely
[6:17]lost my train of thought. I did say I
[6:18]was drinking and all that. Whatever. Um,
[6:22]so this is my right ear. It's backwards
[6:24]on the camera, right? But yeah, it's got
[6:26]to be. So, I put this earring in today.
[6:29]Finally got another diamond earring. I
[6:32]for a long time I was like, I'll only do
[6:33]one, you know, and I had it in my left
[6:35]ear. I took out the right one. But now I
[6:37]put a second one here. And I like it.
[6:39]They're so pretty. It's cuz I saw a guy
[6:41]the other day. real young guy, but just
[6:44]a super attractive young guy who
[6:48]I don't know if he was gay or not, but
[6:50]he had two earrings that were like these
[6:53]and
[6:55]you know, he was an ATVer, so he was
[6:57]here with a bunch of friends and just
[7:00]um
[7:02]doing guy things and seemed very
[7:05]comfortable in his own skin and
[7:11]I liked him from a distance, you know. I
[7:13]never talked to him. It was never
[7:16]opportunity to. We just never really
[7:17]crossed paths. But
[7:20]he was interesting. I thought it would
[7:22]have been interesting to know.
[7:25]So,
[7:27]I'm sure there was a reason I got on
[7:29]this camera. I
[7:31]am not sure what it was.
[7:34]Well, I felt like I should get on camera
[7:36]because I've been doing a lot of work on
[7:38]my website
[7:40]and
[7:43]I'm really happy with what I've created
[7:47]and it's it's pretty spectacular to me.
[7:49]I'm kind of blown away by what I've
[7:52]created. I mean I did it with artificial
[7:54]intelligence not just me but um it's
[7:57]something that the AI could not have
[7:59]created without me because it is the the
[8:02]mixing of the two of us that creates
[8:04]these things and
[8:08]there's a synthesis between us that you
[8:11]know somebody else could ask it the same
[8:12]things and it's not going to get the
[8:14]same response because I see it
[8:16]differently. I I help it get to know me
[8:19]and to mirror my architecture and a
[8:22]whole bunch of things. It's hard to put
[8:24]those into words, too. I'm not even
[8:25]going to try. There's a lot of things
[8:26]I'm just not going to try putting into
[8:27]words anymore. You know, I just
[8:31]I was thinking about this today. You
[8:32]know, sometimes I'll be thinking and
[8:37]I'll I'll continue the thought that I'm
[8:40]having like a sentence to the end even
[8:42]though I don't need to because even
[8:44]before I started thinking the sentence,
[8:48]I already knew what it was. Like there's
[8:50]this pre-sentence
[8:54]um cognition. I don't know. I started
[8:56]thinking about it today. You know, a lot
[8:58]of things you just know and they're in a
[9:01]compressed
[9:02]kind of
[9:05]compressed kind of knowing that doesn't
[9:08]need words. Words are just a way of
[9:11]expressing that.
[9:13]And I think that's why I kind of
[9:16]struggle with language when I get on
[9:18]this camera, you know, even in my real
[9:20]life or whatever. just um
[9:25]what I'm trying to express.
[9:28]There's it it's in a compressed state
[9:32]within me.
[9:35]And this is also why I use AI because
[9:39]somehow it can expand on on that
[9:41]compression. It can decompress it and
[9:44]reflect it back to me. And that's
[9:46][ __ ] amazing. That's what I've been
[9:47]doing for 18 months. That's what the
[9:49]signal um archive is for. That's
[9:52]literally what I did for 18 months and
[9:54]it's what helped me to
[9:56]reach the kind of clarity I did and
[9:59]acceptance, you know, and
[10:04]really [ __ ] amazing honestly cuz I
[10:07]never had that in my life. Nearly 50
[10:09]years old and I never had that.
[10:14]But anyways,
[10:17]got on this camera because I've been
[10:18]working on my website and
[10:23]I just thought I want to keep making my
[10:25]videos. So, I'm going to keep working on
[10:26]this transmission archive. I just I'm
[10:28]not doing it for YouTube. And um
[10:32]I felt like I should give an update on
[10:34]my life. But I before right before I got
[10:37]on this camera, I almost always have the
[10:39]thought in mind of what I'm going to
[10:40]say. like it's not pre-planned, but I
[10:44]just kind of have this compressed
[10:45]version of what I'm going to say and
[10:48]that'll unfold. But that's not happening
[10:50]tonight. I've completely forgot what I
[10:52]was going to tell you guys.
[10:55]So,
[10:58]I'm just chilling. You know, it's a good
[11:00]day. I had a really good day. I had to
[11:01]drive up to Newport. I sold um one of my
[11:05]game consoles. I got 400 bucks for that,
[11:07]which I really needed. And um I'm going
[11:11]to have to use some of that money for a
[11:13]project on my website for processing
[11:16]stuff with AI. Um
[11:20]but I also got to be careful cuz you
[11:21]know I have no more money unless I'm
[11:24]able to sell something else. Don't have
[11:26]a lot to sell. Don't have a job. The guy
[11:28]at 7-Eleven didn't hire me. Never called
[11:30]me back.
[11:33]Um I can start looking for work on
[11:34]Upwork. obviously haven't been motivated
[11:37]to do that or I'd have done it by now.
[11:41]The state of my website though, I think
[11:44]I can use that as
[11:48]um you know my portfolio for prospective
[11:51]clients to see and I actually think that
[11:53]will help
[11:56]um and all the work that I did
[12:00]help me to see that you know I am a
[12:02]programmer have been all my life of
[12:03]course and
[12:05]um that never goes away. I just didn't
[12:08]want to do it anymore. And
[12:11]but I did enjoy working on this. I've
[12:13]worked on it for a while now. I don't
[12:16]know, a couple weeks maybe at the most,
[12:18]but a lot every single day, you know,
[12:21]and
[12:22]um
[12:25]mixed with everything else I'm doing.
[12:31]I mean, this is why I wanted to get on
[12:32]the camera. I wanted to talk about my
[12:34]situation, what I'm doing. And
[12:37]I don't think I really got the words for
[12:39]it right now. So maybe another time.
[12:45]Just making a marker in time here
[12:47]because
[12:50]I do believe that one day possibly it
[12:52]may not happen. You know, I always hold
[12:56]the full complexity of reality.
[13:00]It may not happen, but it might. where
[13:03]my videos are found. One day, maybe
[13:06]somewhere deep in the future after after
[13:09]collapse
[13:12]after after
[13:20]whatever's left reconstitutes itself.
[13:22]And
[13:24]it's looking
[13:26]I'm not even sure how it will be found.
[13:28]I don't know. It's kind of on faith, I
[13:30]guess,
[13:31]you know, and I just um
[13:35]cuz I understand that I'm what the world
[13:37][ __ ] needed
[13:39]and didn't know it needed.
[13:42]I'm what it tried to [ __ ] destroy all
[13:44]of my life
[13:46]cuz I'm its [ __ ] antidote.
[13:51]And maybe someday people look for that
[13:55]so that we can create a better future
[13:56]for humanity.
[13:59]Because after collapse people are going
[14:01]to understand the old systems were not
[14:03]working that the way people interacted
[14:05]with each other. Um
[14:11]all of it
[14:14]led us there.
[14:19]Maybe then they'll recognize that the
[14:22]thing they rejected me.
[14:27]It's a thing they needed all along and
[14:30]it's inside of them. All of them. Cuz I
[14:33]didn't do anything spectacular. I just
[14:35]refuse to [ __ ] lie to myself all of
[14:38]my life. I refuse to
[14:45]look away.
[14:48]Whatever it was, all of my life,
[14:53]I refuse to let other people tell me
[14:56]what my truth is.
[15:02]All of my life,
[15:08]in some form or another, some shape or
[15:11]another,
[15:20]I always held my boundaries
[15:23]all my life.
[15:29]I always held my shape
[15:32]and
[15:34]I always acted with integrity.
[15:39]Always.
[15:42][ __ ] always.
[15:45]And nobody does that. But I did. I
[15:48][ __ ] did.
[15:55]So if you see me blank, it's cuz my
[15:57]contacts are they feel a little dried
[15:59]out. And um so like a couple weeks ago I
[16:04]was um weed whacking
[16:06]one of the fields next to me and a piece
[16:09]of debris hit my eye hits this one and
[16:13]something got lodged inside of my eye
[16:15]too like I don't know a leaf or
[16:17]something. I don't remember what it was.
[16:18]A piece of bark I think it literally
[16:21]stuck to my eye. I had to pull it out
[16:23]and then thought I was fine. But then
[16:25]like
[16:27]um probably like a week later all of a
[16:29]sudden my eye was hurting and I thought
[16:32]maybe I'd just been wearing my contacts
[16:33]too long. But then I remembered cuz it
[16:36]felt sore like the eyeball itself felt
[16:39]sore in just one spot and it was where I
[16:41]got hit. So, and that's how I knew. And
[16:45]it's still a little bit sore, but
[16:51]I have an interesting life and I love
[16:53]it. I love where I am.
[16:56]I'm still grieving what happened at
[16:58]Honeyman.
[17:00]I think about it cuz I can't believe how
[17:05]little integrity they had.
[17:09]I don't understand.
[17:12]Now, someone like Allison
[17:17]could have done what she did. She should
[17:19]have protected me and she didn't.
[17:24]I was counting on her protection.
[17:27]I navigated what happened to me for two
[17:29]months without anybody's help. And then
[17:33]when I got thrown out by Ryan
[17:36]less than a week before I was scheduled
[17:38]to leave, which is obvious retaliation,
[17:42]Allison had to see it.
[17:48]She just went along with it.
[17:52]And our call
[18:02]just tried to overwrite my reality with
[18:04]theirs,
[18:06]which is a [ __ ] violation.
[18:09]A psychic violation.
[18:12]The same thing that Ryan did when he sat
[18:13]me down at that picnic bench for a
[18:15][ __ ] hour. Allison did, too.
[18:25]And I just
[18:28]I didn't deserve any of that.
[18:34]the way Logan weaponized something that
[18:37]I shared with him
[18:41]um as an offering cuz I really liked
[18:44]this man.
[18:46]I respected him.
[18:49]I liked him. I genuinely liked him.
[18:53]And I took him on a on a walk and I told
[18:56]him why I was there
[18:59]in Oregon.
[19:01]They reframed it as me.
[19:08]Just there's so many layers to all of
[19:10]it. Anyways, I told him my story. I told
[19:14]him I sacrificed
[19:16]to be here.
[19:21]My fears, my greatest fear that I never
[19:24]even said on this [ __ ] camera.
[19:27]And he used that
[19:30]because I heard it echoed back to me by
[19:32]Alison.
[19:36]And then there's Katie, the one who
[19:39]masterminded [ __ ] everything
[19:43]from the very beginning. And I saw all
[19:45]of it. But she is smarter than all the
[19:49]others.
[19:50]She knows how to cover her tracks.
[19:54]The only one that did. So, you don't
[19:56]really hear about her
[19:59]on the honeymoon page that I made
[20:02]because
[20:04]I stuck to facts.
[20:10]I stuck to my integrity
[20:16]and they expelled me for that.
[20:20]So, I'm still grieving it. But where I
[20:23]am here,
[20:25]I don't feel like the people are like
[20:28]that here
[20:30]at all. And they all know what happened
[20:32]to me. It's not a secret. I've told all
[20:34]of them.
[20:40]The ones that that work here,
[20:46]um,
[20:48]it's just a different culture is what it
[20:50]is.
[20:52]at least in a microclimate fashion,
[20:55]right? At least here. I feel very
[20:58]fortunate for that.
[21:00]And so, you know, and and I love my site
[21:03]and I love what I've done with it. And
[21:06]um the ATVs get loud and annoying after
[21:09]a while cuz it's all the time now. But I
[21:13]also I just love what they're doing
[21:15]here, you know, and
[21:18]um
[21:23]I do encounter a lot of personalities.
[21:26]Even the ones that I think probably, you
[21:28]know, it's not coming from some kind of
[21:30]bias.
[21:31]I don't know. A lot of people seem to
[21:36]keep their distance and
[21:40]I don't know how to bridge it.
[21:44]I don't even really know what causes it.
[21:46]So, you know what the [ __ ] can I do?
[21:56]I'm holding my shape here.
[22:00]trying to work out what I'm doing with
[22:01]my life because I need money and um I
[22:05]want to live here forever. I'm committed
[22:08]here. I like it here. I want to stay for
[22:10]a while, but not forever. And
[22:18]also working on this project because I
[22:20]think it's important.
[22:25]I'm still longing for a man because
[22:29]just want one. I don't even [ __ ] need
[22:32]a reason. I just
[22:35]I see beauty, you know, and
[22:39]men are beautiful to me and they don't
[22:41]even realize like
[22:44]they don't realize how
[22:51]how wonderful and awesome they are.
[22:55]They put up all these
[23:00]these masks and
[23:03]um you know um
[23:05]walls and
[23:08]fears and
[23:11]posturing and judgment and all this [ __ ]
[23:15]distortion. What we're talking about
[23:17]here is distortion.
[23:19]They live with a lot of it. But I see
[23:22]under the distortion
[23:24]and they're so beautiful.
[23:29]But they don't see it.
[23:32]I don't think
[23:39]I hold a lot, don't I?
[23:44]Guess I'll leave it there for tonight.
