I read a few people that have something like blogs but in emails to me. One is Ben’s Newsletter that he sends out every month. Somehow, I met him and gave him my email in one of the years he was in China a long time ago as he now travels the world in search of AI. He now has over 36,000 emails that he reports to. There is another email out of MIT from a graduate that seems to have a sense of wit about him. I find him humorous as most of what he tries to say is smart and off the wall.

I have been struggling connecting the Miracle Mile of Bluffview, Preston Hollow and the Park Cities of Dallas to the Golden Mile of the Sabana in Colombia. I feel my company in Colomibia can't keep up with the Chamber of Commece in Bogotá. Paying taxes this year on Milla de Oro Magazine SAS will be just like last year, but I can't be preset. The connection I have made so far to the Miracle Mile is what I have found with Karim Alaoui who says this area between Inwood and Douglas on Lovers is his neighborhood where he can walk to and from work. He says hello to everyone and many people seem to be a familiar face. This was much the same as Cajicá where my magazine got its start. Not changing my name from the Golden Mile magazine and that it is a Spanish name is something people are going to continue to find the novelty in. It shows history, me growing up in Dallas before venturing around the world.

what image layout and design is for the current mode
Old magazines have a treasure trove of material like pictures, words and memorable moments in them that can be transformed into something of use. If I had a safeguard company, I would have those that come in build and play games with old magazines on a constant basis until the material was used in the most constructive manner. I have gone to training seminars for jobs in Colombia and we have developed concepts that lead us to conclusions about best practices using old magazines. If you look at Pinterest at what image layout and design is for the current mode, one can easily see the image-based search of hundreds of ideas from all the various magazine companies. Most of the principles are identifiable. These have become tried and true methods to present material in the most constructive and eye appealing ways. Deconstructing these principles with scissors to fully identify how these pieces are put together that can be reconstructed to form even tall buildings is worth the effort. Most people take magazines briefly, but to capture the moments, it is good to spend the time peeling the parts back like an onion. Many are within the moment with some ads that are created to get the final shot. By putting the material into something that you can relate to and enjoy yourself along the lines of instruction, gives the material a whole new appeal. Something that can be absorbed and thoughtfully considered. There are many wall creations that can be made with old magazines. To say that the world of pictures is your blinds over your window or the frame around your mirror, gives you a whole new concept of the title you took it from. The value in creating something out of a page previously laid out in front of you, into something more dimensional gives the experience depth. A trait it did not have before. Also, the fact that it can only be resold on a smaller more artistic scale, rather than mass production meant for copying by taking photos of the piece brings it true authenticity. Person to person experiences can be sold, just as they were when the magazine was established. A buyer would have to be a friend or a boss. The fact that the line for copyrights has been so dismantled, that the sale of figurative items with the photos from magazines on them, is no cause for concern. How you can decorate your walls in the most brilliant posters by printing them yourselves from a download, rather than waiting to rip them from a magazine has only enabled the art of creation through old magazines. Some of the games to be played with old magazines, besides copying a piece of well-known art with smaller cut outs of various magazines is: building the highest tower possible, trying to traverse a large open space with only a few cut outs, creating dimension with flat pieces, paper mâché, frames and wall pieces, any animal object with triangles, spelling contest for new uplifting sentences, vision board, web concept design for TV commercials, putting together tiny magazines out of the bigger ones, abstract art with multiple backgrounds and one foreground element, and many others. Accepting ideas from the creators to come in and get the group behind them to design the same would be the goal of the safeguard company of magazine creation. Trying to instill that indeed the print material is an excellent media for learning and experiencing, other than television that is difficult to capture and share. Magazines can be built upon, resold, rebuilt, rekindled, reworked, and further develop new ideas to get excited about.

GPS is always on my phone tracking where I am, on two phones more precisely. It seems the only phone calls I get are when I ping a tower to receive a robocall. In all the time I have been out of the States and even in China or in Colombia, nobody bothered to check their facts about, AC Grindl. People have been relying on public information for decades to see what I have been up to and so much of that time, fifteen years, I have not been within public domain. So, the only facts that people have are that I didn’t have a street address in the United States other than my parents since 2004. If people were to rely on the information that others have given to them about me, what can be said? Not much as many of my records cannot be disclosed about being in recovery. There are not many instances where I call on friends for help or to tell them what is going on. So, the story about me seems to dry up quickly. I couldn’t say who has the most to tell about me other than my God mother; who insists I’m way out there based on a Facebook account that is long gone after my heyday in China. Which turned sour trying to get out of the party. The reason I have my GPS on is so someone like Google can verify that I behave normally in a civilized manner and for one thing am good at getting around with directions. I even wrote a book about my normal life of trying to get my first book out Words Will Never hurt Me in my second book Bland Book. In it I describe how I go out of the house to print copies and send them off to publish my book for the public to read about my side of the recovery story. However, the public seemed to be engrossed with what they believed to have happened, never talking to me or asking questions. I had no word of my own situation. It was all happenstance and even the government and police efforts were there to say they knew more about me than myself. Needing no comment on my behalf.
Social Media reaches and follows all walks of life. Let your close friends and family know more about you than tech giants
The AI and authenticated services believed they can assume who I was and what my beliefs were simply by considering what actions I took online and in my writing. For one thing, my writing wasn’t even necessary to make a judgement. All the writing I’ve done has been an effort to try and relate to people how I feel about what has happened to me. The very movements I have been through and the nodes I have clicked are enough to draw a complete picture of myself. I try my best to have a personal nature and take deep consideration upon those that I encounter, both close and far, and still very little consternation is given to how AC might have more detail to the matter in question. There are no facts that can’t be surmised and the picture that others have of myself is quite transparent. It was not allowed to be painted on with my own thick brush strokes by the artist himself. Leaving the painting more of a distilled version of what was a reality on the onset of the piece. The looking glass into my world is only made up of a medicated control group and those that have a short time in my recovery program. All the good friends lost, have no recollection of who I am and when asked to provide any critical detail shy away from even wanting to know the truth about someone they let go of long ago. Having no support line in the States other than social security, very few can ask around about the person trying to explain who he is from day one in this magazine. The books I have written try to tell the story. Because we all want to beat around the bush. I for one want to take the time to have the input when the input is offered. It’s like being on a diet from reality, when reality wants to be your friend. All that is tracking me has still left the people around me a very void picture of myself that I’m trying to fill.

The country is at a standstill about how the 2020 election will be interfered with. In the last election it seemed as if outside countries were able to post media on social media to sway the vote. In the last few years, President Trump has been testified to interference and has defeated all accounts. I think this should be a testament to the fact that the US is capable of withstanding known threats on the digital front. When I was in Colombia, almost all the photos I had on my MacBook disappeared at the hands of the Colombians through Wi-Fi and being on the carrier channel of Claro. I also ended up missing photos that were saved to my Google Drive and even photos missing directly from my Huawei phone that I had taken of my garden when moving into my new house. The photos were believed to be taken by my landlord who did not want me to have evidence of the work I had put into the property. Even coming back to the US, I had written letters to my Grandma and they were taken in a hotel in Encinitas that were in relation to Colombia. Previously I had a key stolen while in Colombia when I moved into my new house that was used to break into my house in Dallas, enter my locked bedroom door and take my passport while I was away in California.When I found out, the police here in Dallas buzzed over my house in a helicopter as I ran out in my shorts with the white pockets pulled out letting them know I could see them react to my discouragement. In Colombia, nearly anything is possible. That is why I wrote my book Words Will Never hurt Me the way I did, as I always felt anything I typed or did in the instant it was taken place was being monitored. I was heavily targeted during the campaign for Colombian President and felt that my electricity was turned on and off depending on how the authorities thought I was behaving. Traveling to and from Colombia to the US and being in communication with my wife, I had the knowledge that my transmissions were being intercepted by the Colombians and were not delivered to my wife until they felt they wanted her to have them, some messages not even being delivered. There was no way to be in communication with my wife when I wanted to be, I had to wait and hope that the military personnel reading my messages would put her on call.It was distracting and I was not at liberty to talk to my wife. They were trying to separate us and even at one point were sending her messages that I was not writing that made her very upset. I was receiving messages of her telling me to stop what I was doing, when on my side I was sending her nothing. The Colombia government seemed ill towards my attempt to showcase social media as a viable platform to draw in leads. Rather they wanted the highest levels, and I do mean highest levels including President Duque to be aware of my actions. I was not invited to formal gatherings and was not given permission to make blood money in their country. At all times in Colombia they wanted to keep foreigners separated, if they saw foreigners interacting, they sent ambulances in case there was a disruption to haul them in, to a cause they would generate. So now I am beginning to paint a picture of the digital self, that Colombia felt they had all rights to disengage the dignity of a private life. When I went for the big time to sell diamonds, they had enough and would not let me be, I had made my mark by putting a ‘PAY ME’ sign on my yard in bricks for the entire military airborne units of two operations to see in the Sabana Centro as well as those taking off from the El Dorado airport heading North. They had enough of their military games as they flew over my house with drones and helicopters daily to check on my position. I had to get the dog, Levi to start coming inside when they would have flyovers. I drank my coffee by the stove as I was tired of losing things. It made me suspicious of my wife as to her granting access to my personal collection of memories. I was even confronted by a Colombian man who lives in Canada about me wanting to hold onto my memories, something my landlord and the government there seemed to want to wipe away. I was losing what precious little I had, and they were getting the best of me.
The country is at a standstill
I feel being open and transparent is the best for society but not if that means selling off anything and everything you hold dear. I have a right to hold onto my things and not have them mercilessly taken from me without compensation. I had so much that went away in Colombia and even here in the US as similarly I was going to post a nude photo, in the 11thedition of Milla de Oro Magazine, of myself and that has seemingly gone away from my OneDrive cloud account. I have a warning for you that I have learned the hard way in that if you intend to share a collection with people digitally, they have the right to delete things out of the collection or alter them. But to go to the degree as the Colombians in taking every advantage to say you must share everything with us and we have the right to design you the way we see fit, asexually, is not in terms of manhood. The government of the US had designed electronics, and allies across the globe to manufacture these devices. We are then able to use these devices on our own accord as first initiators into territories so that we may relay information back to ourselves or act on other devices the enemy has purchased from us. The US can turn things off behind enemy lines to allow ground and drone entrance into facilities that would otherwise be very risky to enter on arrival. With this boundary in place, the Navy, close at hand can act as a deterrent to full attack while more airborne installations are put in place to secure the disputed actions of the enemy, in many cases resolving the issue and allowing the US to pull out. What we are wanting to see in this election is that other countries are not taking the steps to sell us their electronics or to develop our products for our use giving them the opportunity for submarine activity. Submarines at this age in 2020 are by far larger than what has been portrayed in any of the movies. They have been so covert; it is best to let them continue to stay submerged. However, this seemed to make no difference in the impeachment hearing, in that China now has nuclear weapons that can reach any shore, so when referring to North Korea the Chinese have the strong arm by far. Our weapons deal now go hand in hand with interference. If China were to interfere with our elections, we would need to make a nuclear weapons deal with Asia. The Ukraine and Russia interfering with our elections is a weapons deal that many people have come to terms with over the course of Trump being President. Possibly one way to look at this upcoming election is the degree of interference we can handle. As the United States has a very high degree of sensibility to our own crimes of terrorism on our own soil in the deaths of large number of people at the hands of ourselves, the rest of the world needs to stand back. We are making progress as a Nation to curb mass shootings and foreign governments making a case that they are not the cause or trigger for our citizens is not justifiable. The United States needs a peaceful election, even if that means our attitudes and mistakes are felt by many when we only meant to interact on a smaller scale. Every person in this country wants the best for themselves and their families. It is possible, we are close, it will happen, we have learned to complain. Now is when you want to feel that each moment has it’s time and place and is succinct. If you are out of tune with your timeliness, please work on your behavior. Act and feel present. Receive the information you want and keep records of your own making. Regurgitate what you have learned, chew the fat, and spit out the cud.

Hello! I have very bad news for you. 02/09/2019 - on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account. So, you can change the password, yes.. But my malware intercepts it every time. How I made it: In the software of the router, through which you went online, was a vulnerability. I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it. When you went online, my trojan was installed on the OS of your device. After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts). A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a not big amount of btc to unlock. But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and I was shocked by what I saw!!! I'm talk you about sites for adults. I want to say - you are a BIG pervert. Your fantasy is shifted far away from the normal course! And I got an idea.... I made a screenshot of the adult sites where you have fun (do you understand what it is about, huh?). After that, I made a screenshot of your joys (using the camera of your device) and glued them together. Turned out amazing! You are so spectacular! I'm know that you would not like to show these screenshots to your friends, relatives or colleagues. I think $711 is a very, very small amount for my silence. Besides, I have been spying on you for so long, having spent a lot of time! Pay ONLY in Bitcoins! My BTC wallet: 19zmimRqLe2bZXi5EehBrcfnetrNXENwzC You do not know how to use bitcoins? Enter a query in any search engine: "how to replenish btc wallet". It's extremely easy For this payment I give you two days (48 hours). As soon as this letter is opened, the timer will work. After payment, my virus and dirty screenshots with your enjoys will be self-destruct automatically. If I do not receive from you the specified amount, then your device will be locked, and all your contacts will receive a screenshots with your "enjoys". I hope you understand your situation. - Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data, files and screenshots is already uploaded to a remote server) - Do not try to contact me (this is not possible, the sender is randomized automatically) - Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help, since your data is already on a remote server. P.S. You are not my single victim. so, I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment! This is the word of honor hacker. I also ask you to regularly update your antiviruses in the future. This way you will no longer fall into a similar situation. Do not hold evil! I just do my job. Good luck.

With the advent of PopArt people can now see that by buying art you are investing in that person. Not only does the artist benefit but so do you with the increase in value of the art you buy. It is the same for music as it was with the Alternative genre. It is easy to see that artists can go on and live extraordinary lives and that the art they created for the one-time purchase or for mass purchase tends to do well in the market for long periods of time to come. It is not only the performance that matters to make the sale of the music now that so many things can be staged for the choreography to come together on stage. Artists of all kinds need their works to be seen and shared. For most when you take a picture of their art the feeling is lost in its authenticity and it is important to contribute in some way to that artist by sharing or liking them on social media. Other artists create things that must be witnessed in person and the mediums they use are so authentic that they cannot be separated from the piece. These artists often do well and are a fury of activity, creating widespread hype and enthusiasm for everything they do in their work to daily lives. There are other artists that want to provide what they do for free because the buyers would not take the dare to read unless it was free. There is not a widespread hype or anticipation for anything some artists do. Yes, there is interest but nothing sexy enough to merit adoption of the host material. Asking someone to pay for something that simply doesn’t have a name brand along the same lines as to what it is being compared, leaves little room for an audience to commit to the material. Yes, a lot of work can be put into a project but unless there is a group and marketing agency funding the project to go in a direction of Pop culture once again, then the feelings of enthusiasm gets lost. People will tend to only want to take in the art at their leisure and take what they can get at their own pace.
Some artists don’t require the buy-in for them to continue doing what they are naturally doing. They seem unable to hold back from what seems to relieve them of their conscious, so the audience is only an onlooker and not an active participant, like with the craze behind some popular music and advancing art forms using high technology. The tools some artists use is so modest that the support they seem to need is minimal, even if they are already asking little in return for what they try and portray as a real-life world from their perspective. People have a general idea of how they want to be entertained and some trust AI to provide them with new suggestions. They like to be in the talk of the town and to know currently what others are talking about so they can engage with those in the concepts that are part of the new day. Most of the analysis on upcoming artists can be broken down in interviews through the paper, so that the times and days to go and see for yourself become available. Some artists simply don’t have a space available to them all the time and trying to build a following with limited resources can be a struggle. Getting the word out for some artist becomes the only method of sales they have. The numbers do reveal which artists were able to meet their goals, just like corporate analysis for quarterly results. So, the art is pertinent and timely and can maintain its value throughout the year. By showing that you are willing to buy the artists works, that shows how effective it has been to stimulate your day and possibly even your year if something was so awe striking.It’s an investment in any artist to pay full attention to the details they wish to convey, as it may be a bridge to new concepts that can be incorporated into more conservative methods in the workplace, if not hanging the artwork there in the foyer of the office building or displayed within the media arrangement.

On the job fixing the roof
Education/Post-Secondary Education
Brad Sykes is someone who learned how to have the salesman skills under his belt because for some time he was even knocking on doors and knew what it took to land the clients, find them as well. Turning 41 and having a new life ahead of him with a clear course to keep doing the next right thing, his daughters have come back into his life. At 20 and 18, one of them looking to get married, Brad has every intention of keeping the past behind him and the future clear. Brad says he has only been roofing for a year and a half, but the way time has gone by and his good fortune it’s a whole new life for him and the journey has been filled with wonderful surprises. He gives thanks now to his friend Steve Mayeda, and others. Keeping connections tight where the bonds seem to make for a better life. Look to them for hope and aspiration. In only three years he has moved through three cars, from living in the first one, into a four-bedroom house. Through the years even before times seemed to be too rough to handle, Brad was at a job he hated working as a server. Then an opportunity came up through a friend, to work in sales at Acclaimed restorations. They threw him to the wolfs and paid him bad. Brad has had about 2 different roofing jobs including Acllamied restorations, where he moved onto Stratton Roofing with a lifelong friend. He was forced to choose his career over his friend so that he could continue with his progression and drive that force he found within himself for the first time to continue onward. But times didn’t get any better when he moved to Acclaim and had another good friend die of a heroin overdose.

lay a firm foundation on the skills he had already picked up
It wasn’t until Brad found Absolute construction through a mutual acquaintance DJ Walker and the owner Daniel. Here he was able to lay a firm foundation on the skills he had already picked up and Absolute taught him how to do his job correctly making little or no mistakes along the way. Making a true tradesman out of Brad. There are about 40 people at Absolute construction and the company has now branched out of state. Brad has been able to get himself into a referral network of about 13 roofers beating out the competition on his third try and was able to secure 1.4 million in revenue for Absolute last year. He takes home about 50% commission and walked away with well over six figures last year. This time he was able to make his mark in the referral network because his personality was a fit for this group. Brad’s passion right now is going to concerts, he can afford them at this point and his friends are more than willing to spend a night out enjoying themselves after busting themselves to be another day on the job. His passion is straightforward, and he has learned how to give back to the community. Every roof needs to be repaired by the best hands available and Brad makes that happen with Absolute construction. There is no slow in the market, and the roofs seem to keep getting bigger and better for repair. Brad still has a lot of years of work ahead of him and he is taking things one day at a time.

Following TOM2020
Tom Steyer has five rights that everybody should have. The right to education, the right to healthcare, the right to a one job sustainable income, the right to a clean environment, and the right to an equal vote. Following him makes a difference in that even though he has donations he still gives to those that help his campaign. Tom does not put up with the misuse of dialogue. It is of great effort that he puts together his training seminars and shows people an in-depth path to success through his leadership. Warren on the other hand does act much like Trump asking continuously for support and to buy her merchandise. Tom has gained support in many states and there are multiple people calling out on his behalf. I have done work for both Tom and Warren. Like Griggs in the Dallas election, Warren uses the app Minivan. For starters, I have no reason to think that this app can be altered in any way by the Ukraine. The fact that the President most likely will not be removed from office will still make both candidate’s ones to watch in the upcoming campaign. I would have to say that this election is one sided in the run offs because only the democrats are having primaries, but this leaves plenty of room for President Trump to run independently and continue his sales pitch for America that is great and abundant beyond measure. Something that we have waited for a long time to have this momentum. Not to take a back seat to the mild mannered and vindictive Democrats, Tom being one of the first to be one. Most people on the Miracle Mile when out in public are Republicans, but they all have a reason at home to side with the Democrats as many of the people in the families of such affluent people have their weaknesses. Democrats are supposed to stand for weaknesses, where Trump and the Republicans say that America is Great, and we are all winners. I did gain by not having to buy into Obamacare. I would have been working my full salary for coverage. I do like what the Democrats are proposing with 60 trillion dollars. Tom has not quoted this number, but both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are at odds over this number along with Hillary Clinton saying Bernie is a fool for not promoting it.

Trying to still think how a small business only trying to be self-sustaining or interdependent rather than dependent, providing enough for retirement if nothing changes, is sexy. Enough to not have to call me out on accepting social security disability to get a leg up. It’s a way for me to get insurance as a start and get my system figured out. Noticing that many of the facts about me are still wild and incongruent having not lived in this country for so many years. Just getting my name right still takes some work. I felt identified by Tom, it was easy even if I was a deterrent to his cause coming in with Trump speech in the middle of my rhetoric. Although a handful of people came out to his training rather than the dozens expected, it was a very good place that the Democrats themselves seemed unable to identify with even pointing this out. That things are indeed great right now. Warren was expecting fewer people at her meeting in Starbucks. Here in the Preston Hollow, Highland Park, and Bluffview area the young men go out to see Trump with enthusiasm in the hotels. Yes, there are driverless cars and flying car prototypes. Making that a reality in two years by Uber HQ in downtown Dallas and for mass adoption is like so many other passing things in the United States. Even in this neighborhood. It’s fun to talk about and fun to be enthused about, it’s even worth pursuing into a career. But to have high expectations of immediate returns and flying to Jupiter are really things that need to be pushed out into the future. Following Tom is a way to keep America Great and going in a very civilized course. It doesn’t seem to be apparent to many, but things weren’t like this for a long time.

Do you know what inflation is truly about? Does the word inflation sound familiar to you? If not, let`s talk about the inflation rate in Colombia. It should be explained that inflation is all about the rise of services, goods and food stuffs astronomically.It should be interesting to state that the opposite of inflation is deflation which is when the prices decrease. Therefore, experts in the field of economy have mentioned that the inflation rate in Colombia is expected to be constant or remain 3.8% for the year 2020. What does inflation mean to the ordinary people on the streets, the businesspeople, retailers buying and selling things in Colombia?It can be said that it means a lot but inflation around the world and most especially in Colombia could be difficult to explain or comprehend. According to the website called trading economics, https//tradingeconomics.com/Colombia/inflation-cpi, it was mentioned that inflation in Colombia dropped from 3.84% in November 2019 to 3.80% in December 2019. For people who really want to know why this drop in inflation is fundamental in terms of the prices of housing, utilities (3.46% vs 3.61% in November) ,food and non-alcoholic beverages and tobacco (5.80% vs 6.43%)should take a look at the website mentioned above. In the same vein, inflation has been steady for clothing, footwear (0.69%) and education (5.75%). Furthermore, talking about the rate of inflation in Colombia, some people believe that the numbers on the paper do not correspond with the reality on the ground. It is true that the prices of homes are decreasing in Colombia but prices of other sectors such as transportation and food production/ cost of food are increasing. These contrasting realities on the ground in contrast to what is mentioned on the TV – Radio make the rate of inflation difficult to determine. However, it is believed that the true colour of inflation in Colombia will be known and manifested in the purchasing power and the quality of life of people in general. To be honest, the quality of life of an average Colombian has improved based on what has been observed through the lens of an average shopper.Many supermarkets and shopping malls have been constructed across Colombia. The likes of ``Ara, D - 1, Carulla, Justo Bueno, Jumbo, Exito, Homecenter, Easy``etc are springing up in every nooks and crannies of Colombia and they have gradually changed the shopping mentalities of people in Colombia. As a matter of fact, the last five years have changed considerably in terms of the way people in Colombians buy and sell things. In conclusion, inflation rate in Colombia seems to be on the downward slope but some businesspeople still believe it is still not getting better. Nonetheless, reports on paper points towards a better state of economy with stable inflation. The question is who do we need to believe, the business enterprises or the analysis of inflation on papers? Written by: Austin Fabumuyi
3% inflation down South
I’m a seventy-five sometimes a one-hundred percent match to jobs that are offered at $168,000 a year here in Dallas as an Information Technology Project Expert. Working my first job at IBM in Irving, I have not worked in the US since I was in Austin being a bellman, busboy, and cashier for 7-11 all at the same time when I was 19. I did have a job after that helping a painter, Mr. Black, paint the mural at the Longitude restaurant at the Dallas Zoo and a small waterpark near Wet n’ Wild. However right after SMU I went right to China, even leaving the graduation acceptance for the airport. In China, I came back to the States for one year after my MBA in Tianjin to work at the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce for a year, to leave the job opportunity they gave me as an intern to return to China. I scrambled for a job and most of the jobs I found in China were through hearsay from one friend, Jordan Root. I had upwards of five jobs in China through his first initial call. I was in publishing, trade, construction, relocations, and education. I eventually got labeled as a schoolteacher even though I had done so much more there. The schoolteacher was my lowest job and that is what people in the United States wanted to label me. I returned to the States several times looking for opportunity, but no one could point me in the right direction. I though I wouldn’t come back and moved with my wife to Colombia. There, living far from the city as was our intention, to get out of the hustle and bustle to relax in the country; I was not left with much opportunity for work that would support our family other than pushing a wheel barrow to get my start. Much like all the local people who had never taken to the skies. I experienced extreme xenophobia that I was not accustomed to, because in China the Western world was easily acclaimed. I had to relate the earning I was looking to make as blood money, better than what the drug cartels were offering and having no children, was not responsible for the wellbeing of a growing nature. I didn’t fit their small-town objectives of child first policy even at the movie theatre. I have come back to the US to keep my business as I tried to explain to the market in Colombia about the misquoted numbers of print media. But, here in Dallas, print remains strong even on a very local level like the Highland Park paper. My prices have not changed and to my customers relief they are well within budget. I’m not being accepted into Uber without a shoe in or Accenture or any other company that I have not had some sort of someone telling my story for me. So, I need to keep doing what I’m doing till someone does decide to pick up my story in the office. Even if I could abide by the Literary Writers Digest of prices per written page in the corporate environment, I would be well within my means to sustain a career where I end up if not doing what I’m doing now to try and pick up the pieces. Most people coming into a new market if at a distance from the landing need to do something on their own to ground themselves. I have found I do get a following creating this magazine. I’m not sure what the corporate environment expects from a worker in terms of the following they need to garner. That is to keep the lines of communication between work and personal life alive. I would say I do well for myself to get enough people to pay attention, something easily marketable enough in the working environment of CEOs. I wouldn’t say I would promote my ad over theirs or the company’s any day but to say that I can have my own self interest still attractive is well worth most people looking into. I remain a person with directive and faith that I believe I have gone into at length within other stories in this publication. The guidance from my Higher Power, the faith to my wife even at long distance and the belief that I am worth a considerable amount, is something that keeps me following my passions even on slow and dreary days. The sun does shine when I try to do my best, and for that I am grateful.
I'm a match without territorial experience

Works Wonders is a dead end
The Texas Workforce Commission has allocated $39 million dollars to paying disabled people in their attempts to make a living. That means any business with a State department as part of the corporate operations can reach out to those with a disability and pay for their services. I know it is a little funny to think that a small store on the Miracle Mile has a State department, but look no further than the companies HR department to see where the money set aside for things like administration could have a few dollars to go in the right direction. This is part of a program called Works Wonders. This can be found on the Texas Workforce Commission website and the intended purpose is outlined. However, following this lead any further is a dead end. Having myself investigated how I can go about receiving this money that has been set aside for people with disabilities, there are no further clues. I’m led to believe the money is there within certain organizations and they can go to the Texas Depository with their claims for having made a purchase through someone who had a disability. ‘Works Wonders was implemented in 1978 by the Texas Legislature to enhance the lives of people with disabilities by offering opportunities for employment. The program provides products or services through Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRPs) that are purchased by city, county, state or schools and political subdivisions. Since its successful implementation almost 40 years ago, Works Wonders continues to set new marks for the number of Texans with disabilities employed. In the past year $39 million in wages were paid to individuals in the program for their work on state and local government contracts.’ https://twc.texas.gov/purchasing-people-disabilities
Making sure that these big-name stores on the Miracle Mile have some costs covered when reaching out to the disabled is key. They should be able to recoup the money that they use to lend a helping hand to those that are only trying to get by. It seems that as the tax money is already paying for the disabled to receive a minimum income and they have the ability to continue to make up to $13,000 within the year that does not affect their qualifications, the money seems to still be going in the right direction. It’s good to know a person with a disability can continue to try and be part of society and make a bit extra on top of their disability payment. Companies going through the trouble of helping that person also can get some help. The person does not have to meet the Super standards of big-name marketing agencies with teams of dozens of people, because often time a disabled person is acting individually. What that person can do as a sole contributor can be rewarded.If the person is identified as being disabled, then the assistance can be granted. The very appearance or words used to describe someone and their actions should be enough to allow you to decipher whether the person is indeed bipolar, schizophrenic, crippled, has ADHD, or any of the other mannerisms that preclude a person from working constructively for the good of consumerism. Thinking a person is contagious for example is a good indicator that the person might have some sort of disabling mental capacity.
Making headway as a person with a disability is hard. There should be opportunity for those who can't get a leg up.

Top of '19-'20 year rundown
I read a few people that have something like blogs but in emails to me. One is Ben’s Newsletter that he sends out every month. Somehow, I met him and gave him my email in one of the years he was in China a long time ago as he now travels the world in search of AI. He now has over 36,000 emails that he reports to. There is anotheremail out of MIT from a graduatethat seems to have a sense of wit about him. I find him humorous as most of what he tries to say is smart and off the wall. I like to think of myself as having an expanded blog or email and that I have many articles to read at the end of the two months, almost like another book. On top of the book I have out, Words Will Never hurt Me. I have been working quietly over the last few months since October when a tornado hit the day before I released my eleventh edition in Dallas. I was able to create one Party Mixthat I released. I do not have the numbers as to who listens to these party mixes because they are connected directly to my Onedrive and there aren’t analytics for that. The same with my book Words Will Never hurt Me that was on sale on Cyber Monday, I can’t see who picks up my book with the link other than when they purchase it with PayPal.So, I am not sure how the book I am editing now, Bland Book about getting Words Will Never hurt Me to market, will fare as a result. Recently, due to my neighbor I now have access to Masterclass and watched Margaret Atwood with enthusiasm as well as R.L. Stine who has led me to allow for danger in my writing, something I will explore again in my next edition. I’m still on hiatus from the calling of cyber warfare. Now, I am modestly discussing flying cars in the next two years when Uber opens an office in Dallas and easily accepting self-driving cars. Although I am not inclined to try one out without the money. I also watched Mentorbox with Tai Lopez and the start of the 67-day challenge. I was encouraged about the people who are practical, social, active, and emotional. Knowing that I have passion in my magazine and believe in the details keeps me going. I couldn’t sell it to my grandma as she only cares about birthday cards right now, she’s 98. But, for other people who are not all about consumption of the new thing, my magazine does help people be more aware. Before the end of the year I finished Newsroom on TV a special on KERA and it led to Resonance where all that we do is tracked immediately. That everything is on the market as soon as it is produced. Probably the reason why I have been seeing green mangos on the market in suburbia. No amount of chili powder and salt should sway you from wanting a ripened mango. I’m receiving emails from the Interpreter, Watching and Paul Krugman on the New York Times but don’t get around to reading them lately. I hardly even get into The Briefing. I have been paying attention to my notifications and have not been engaged with what I am being pinged with. ABC News is becoming more interesting than the NYT on my phone, although I love the NYT app when they put out a big story. I’m not sure if people share NYT material but those people in my small circle would be interested. There have seemed to be few opportunities to comment without staying up to date. The impeachment hearings were swell as the democratic only runoff is too one-sided. Trump still seems to hold the crowd better than ever these days. There have been several movies to see at the turn of the year that are family oriented. Tony’s recuperating and healing legs shook through the whole movie while watching Ford v Ferrari. I thought it was a fun movie and I enjoyed the film making. It brought together many components in real life that are interesting and that the age-old dream before space flight used to be enthralled with for competing. Jojo Rabbit had my favorite actress as of right now and for a while since Ghost in a Shell, who looks good in any magazine Scarlet Johansson. The movie in my family was able to be talked about over Christmas dinner, surprising to some but we did not have anything but good things to say from the movie’s livelihood and cartoon behavior. The romantic interest for such a young boy was put in the right perspective as being off limits and just a fantasy.
Media & Entertainment/Movie Lovers
Volunteering I have worked for Tom Steyer and Elizabeth Warren. The Tom team was able to teach me how to talk about politics even when on the side of Trump in public. I am inclined to side with a President that has shown this country is strong. Not having to denounce anyone even if I am a Democrat. I would prefer to say that things work and let’s keep them working rather than learn to complain. Tom allowed me to make some calls for him in his support. Elizabeth brought me out for a second time, since I was back in the States earlier in the last year to canvas flyers across my old neighborhood. The group that met at Starbucks only went to Democratic houses and nobody in their homes seemed opposed to Warren having the opportunity. People under 40 didn’t seem to have the opportunity to talk and the people who had a voice were older. A great concern of mine is to write thankyou cards after the holidays. I wrote only to those that I had a direct presence from over the Christmas day. I was able to type each of them a page or more and print their letters on my new letterhead for this magazine. I tried to keep the point clear that I was thanking them for their input into my endeavors for the next year. A few I had motives, and upon following up with my motives, they were dissolved. So, even though there was some holiday cheer, the result was nil. I was just thankful for passing the time and I expressed that. I did receive a thank you letter from my nephew and he had even taken the time to watch my full-length video on the cover of my tenth edition, something I really take to heart that he did that for me. Recently I have increased the number of people I am asking to be my friend on Facebook. Just about every suggestion that Facebook makes I follow up with a request. I’m doing that not only on my business account but also my personal account. I have felt that on my personal account I should do something first, but in many cases, especially myself being without a car to go to reunions, I can just send the request. I’ve also investigated the secondhand market on Facebook and still have not bought much for myself other than soap and coffee on Amazon after Christmas. At least I looked at a truck and hard wood floors. There is a psychiatrist I am seeing, Dra. Hartford and the first two times I honestly did not know how she was helping; it wasn’t till the third time that I was confused from the night before with my treatment that she put me on track. This last time we discussed that therapy is supposed to find the necessary measures for change in my life and I don’t have to make them up on my own. What those changes are going to be are something we are going to have to discover. Needing people to read what I write still doesn’t seem to be convincing. I’m continuing to go the gym as before the New Year when I was full of strength but have lost my manhood during the workout. My weights are much lower, and the reps aren’t that high. I seem to have lost control of my confidence and feel uneasy a lot throughout the day looking for my wife who isn’t here. I’m eating less thinking I need a diet because of the weight gain I had over the holidays, but the weight gain was 14 lbs. of muscle and now that there isn’t enough food, my muscle mass is deteriorating.

I took back to making reviews on Google, noting the places I’ve been and having good things to say. As Karim from City Café recently said, he recognizes those that make reviews. So maybe these places that I’m leaving comments know who I am. It is hard to say. Not many people let on that they know about me. Even people that I’m friends with who have my magazines say there are still many things they don’t know me. Not many people have read my book, but those people probably do say they know me. When I leave a comment on Google, I eventually think it will lead back to readers of my own material no matter how someone finds me. Reunions are becoming regular and I’m trying to make more. It’s a load of commitment to get into the recovery crowd and there is a lot you can do if you push yourself. However, I’ve taken on the task of my magazine and writing and trying to separate them from my recovery and so I am indeed more attached to my writing. I don’t know what is wrong with paying for your own birthday party. For eating out at times like these I would most likely choose the same restaurants as I’ve been going to recently. Places like Torchy’s, Dunston’s, Bistro B, Shake Shack, The Drip, and the others that can be found through Grinnin Gringol on Google Maps. Even though I have been doing all this I have even managed to save a few dollars on my minimum wage allowance from my employers. This writing is up to them as to who will read it, because I get dinner tonight luckily. I can seem to get around on only a few hundred dollars a month. There seems to be no expenses other than coffee and the tools for the magazine I charge on my Gold card, paying that off as soon as the bill comes in. The secret to my magazine is not saving anything for the next edition. It’s about painting the full picture of all the ideas I had. Even if that is completely exhausting, I plan to capture all the details so that I am not randomly thinking when I’m with myself. It’s all for this edition and I have stated I plan to pick up cyber security, that is when it is an issue again. I’m even applying to jobs because I was trying to claim reduced hours in unemployment. Seeing as how I cannot financially turn away all my employers or I would be left with $164 a week, applying to jobs is just to show that I’m a fit. There are some examples I applied to that are over a 75% match in multiple categories. I’m qualified for a position anywhere between $64,000 and $148,000 a year but have not shown that I have any experience in the United States. Therefore, I am going to try my best to keep things moving with my resolutions.

I chose to critique ‘bon appétit’ this month in my attempt to showcase my digital nature. Of course, much of what they print cannot be displayed on a digital cell screen. There are a lot of components on each page and hundreds of little blurb writings that fill in the pages. Each small writing sample is accompanied by a small graphic or photo of food. The magazine simply attempts you to read one thing on a page before moving on. There seemed to be two articles of any size within the magazine, both having to do with going out at night and drinking less. The opening of the magazine is hard to follow the exact publishers’ pages as it is crammed with ads. The opening ads are text heavy making it look like a readable magazine with lots of content. After looking through the magazine the real content are the many recipes that are offered, many times three to a page on more than several pages. Some of the ads seemed to have been placed to complement the content for eye appeal, making the food and the food items that the advertisers are interested more interesting. This was well done. But when you open the magazine basing your readership on the ads to direct the attention through the first few pages, it’s hard to follow what was established by the magazine itself. It is good that the ads seem to represent the brand. Much of the format is the same throughout the magazine giving it consistency and that was something they were trying to break up with their ‘healthy-ish’ edition by giving some of the pages a cartoon-based wording. This also allowed them to use graphics of a cartoon nature. It seemed to be fitting that there was a bubbly and overset style to the magazine to relate to its concept. The graphics were well organized and related to each other throughout and the recipes seemed to be very much alike with a bit of water added to the flavors with vegetables. The ads did taper off after the first half of the magazine and the back of the magazine had some features of some of the dishes. The full page for a food item on a cell phone is easy to scroll past and does not allow for comments. The miniature descriptions in the magazine are a sport for some writers and should not be used as word count for payment. A page is still a page of content, on a cell screen or on a physical page. The fact that the magazine was mainly written and put together by one writer and one eater is intense. That this person lived the story of eating these recipes and dishes is unique and worth following. However to condense this story, let alone the ‘bon appétit’ magazine so that my neighbor at the café can take it with them and leave me my copy is something only a digital magazine can accomplish.

Pinterest critique
Pinterest in many ways is a magazine made by every user. When people collect pins and make boards, following themes this creates a profile that is much like one edition of a magazine. People need to take great care that what they put together is not overly heavy in one area if they are trying to put together many interests. For example, onmy PinterestI had a time where I pinned many things about raising a puppy. If you look only at my pins section of Pinterest and scroll down, you will slowly go through the various sections as in a lifestyle magazine and then hit the part about dogs that goes on and on till the end. Looking at the boards, some of my topics are mixed up and not fully concentrated on the actual name of the board. I think some people take an interest to curate their findings carefully. Making boards much the same as the public themes. Having a board that looks much like a theme allows people to follow your board directly from when searching in an idea. Being that Pinterest is only one magazine per account, it would be difficult to say that some people have created more than their personal magazine with their account. Pinterest is something you want to go back in change to achieve greater mental maps that will show your interests to an onlooker. Not paying attention people will utilize what they want. Having pins that are of only interest to you, distracts people from following you. It is important to have a more general concept in mind that people can relate to, not something they need to put aside from the rest of the collection you have made to understand. Having just one pinup that is only of your liking, much like a fantasy poster on your wall in your grand home, makes the rest of the house separated. This is not the goal of trying to find a seemingly choreographed personal magazine with Pinterest. With Pinterest you pin things you like, and often this comes together quite strangely when you have looked back to try and see where your interests lie. It is the same as liking things from the radio, often you are in the moment of liking something and when you go back to a song because you liked it, in the new moment you feel completely different. So, when going back to Pinterest to try and identify your areas of strength, it is best to align your interests with the right topics and label them accordingly. When someone does have a good magazine put together, it is of your interest to follow them. This will allow you to go back to them as guides for your own creation of your personal Pinterest lifestyle magazine. If you only stick to themes, it’s important to try and like what will continue to bring you fresh notifications and not just the same pins as what everyone has. Having people try your pins and save them is the best achievement you can have, giving someone to do something just as you would if you were the boss is the aim. I’m striving to get people to be creative now and the taking care of my dog has been relinquished to my wife.
Medium critique
Danny Forest had an excellent article on Medium in the way it was constructed, its theme and the authenticity. First Medium likes articles that are goal oriented. Medium is looking to compete with YouTube in that you can learn skills by reading. They want the writing to convey a message of something you can learn with easy concepts to grasp and apply immediately. Medium wants proven results and action-oriented text. The way the articles are supposed to be titled is to have an actual number highlighted as to the things that can be learned from the article as well as the emotion to overcome. Once the headline pulls in the reader as to what can be achieved, then each paragraph needs to have its own title in bold. This will allow the reader to go through the article quickly if they are just glancing. It is supposed to lead the reader through. What many readers don’t realize with this technique is that within each bold paragraph heading are ideas to relate to and the more you are able to identify with the article the more likely it is that you have already mastered the goal. By being able to maintain the readers attention within each bold paragraph shows that there is a correlation of understanding. The articles also need to have a numbered agenda to achieve each idea. Under one or two of the paragraphs the steps used to achieve something like charisma in the case of Danny Forest’s article are used. The way that Danny has consistently written for Medium on several important skills to adapt to daily life has proven his results. 1. In fact, I have noticed that in this issue, I myself have started to write with instruction. I have written about instruction in the past to bait advertisers, as I thought they would want to read the magazine before deciding to advertise. 2. I have not shown that to be effective. Many did copy my selling techniques on social media in the Sabana, but not to the degree of incorporating into this magazine. 3. Bear in mind, as of writing this article I did practice some of Danny’s advice and let my social post play to add to the surroundings with my party. There is a recap at the end and Danny is doing this nicely with a full numbered checklist that takes you through every point in the article. Most articles on Medium want the end of the article to sum up the parts that make the difference. It is not supposed to just be a conclusion that ties in the opening paragraph but is supposed to be the lessons that can be learned or have been learned as a result from reading. It is the action plan that you can immediately take with you from having spent time going over the criteria to knowing a subject. If you have read and been able to fully go over all the details, Medium finds that you are indeed capable of saving, sharing, clapping and commenting on the article. I think people are beginning to refrain from showing they have an interest in something directly but are willing to share. They may just be sharing to themselves but often they want someone else they care about to see what touched them. For example, Danny’s article is not only highlighted here but at the end of this magazine with all the other articles I have read since the last edition for anyone who is willing to go through my notes to build their own story about my influence. As a result, Medium is best made up of its parts with articles: 1. Goal oriented 2. Skills from reading 3. Something you can learn 4. Apply immediately 5. Proven results 6. Action oriented 7. Actual number highlighted 8. Paragraph titles in bold 9. Just glancing 10. Lead reader 11. Relate and able to identify 12. Mastered the goal 13. Reader’s attention 14. Correlation of understanding 15. Steps used 16. Adapt to daily life 17. Write with instruction 18. Copy selling techniques 19. Practice advice 20. Numbered checklist 21. Sum of the parts 22. Learned as a result 23. Willing to share I am not sure how I ended up being the first to view Danny’s article. I hope I am doing it justice. I did clap and I did share it, I even commented. I usually share every article I read. I don’t always clap as many Medium articles already have several claps and Medium is not rewarding writers solely on clapping, but I think more in terms of read time. Meaning of those that skim articles are still important. I have a feeling that his article of Danny’s will eventually do very well, I am happy to be on board with the analytics as many of the other articles I took influence from on Medium that are tracked also went on to do very well. I feel good that some of my reading has paid off, literally.

Most people have ghost writers write them a book. If you are famous, you just have someone else take all the records you have been stacking away to make some sort of memoire out of them. Much like Bridges over Madison County. The recount is much more eloquent than any of the neighbors could have retold from spying on the couple. Even all the talk in the town couldn’t have painted a more sensual picture than what was laid out in the book. That is what most famous people pay for when they have their history recounted. They want onerous details exposed that may be something very precise and something almost uninteresting. Having a ghost writer as a President, someone simply needs to find a writer that is in allegiance with the goals still set in the course of leadership. Senators and Congressman who have ghost writers need something out fast because the terms they are dealing with often change rapidly. It’s anybody’s guess whether a Senator can use their power to release more than one book in their career to cover life changing news that the public needs to read to get the bigger picture. You could say that a ghost writer in the political field simply puts together a whole bunch of quotes and gives their opinion that is then approved by the leadership in the field or whoever’s name they are using. Most of these people do not have time for a ‘tell all’ to a book writer that will take the hours of recording and make it a book. Some writers may be good at the interview process and could sit down and put the transcript on paper. Remember people in politics are good at talking. I was once prepared for a ghost writer, but that only prepared me to sit down and write Words Will Never hurt Me on my own. Most of the time when I shared with someone, my time would end after an hour and that is not enough for a book and picking a place to start again, most of my ideas are not chronological. I really was never telling a ‘how I got here’ story and I think politicians are trying to tell the public this type of story about the situation with the American consensus over matters that seem concerning.
Penning your own name
Written by AC Grindl, Photo and video by AC Grindl
When you enter college, you are not writing a ‘how I got here’ story even if it is ‘how I got to the idea of where I want to go’ type thesis. So, letting someone else write your entrance paper is a bad idea but can be done, I mean who is going to know? That is more of a topic I concern myself with because content is still king. The person who wrote your entrance exam isn’t asking for royalties from your lifetime achievement awards. The ghost writer many times isn’t either. And publishers aren’t interested unless they can find a way to make royalties interesting. Taking all the quotes you have generated and putting them into a book that you publish in the mindset that those involved must reach out to you to be compensated; as a trap to read and find yourself in the background seems to work for some publishers interest model. But for most writers, quoting is simply a link to the article online and there is nothing paid and even less click throughs as people aren’t trying to find out what ad thinks it is most relevant to the information. Pleading the fifth when it comes to what is your own intuition and what is learned through the works of others, keeps most publishers from wanting to commit to artists works. This is more about people being able to say whatever they want to say if it isn’t stamped with approval. Some ghost writers enjoy having their words penned through the name of the person, they are honored so that the words are solidified. However, so much is copied these days, it is best to leave the inherit nature of creators be endless without authentication so that others who find paperwork and due cause a reality a more opportune time at penning their own name.

Self-publishing is a lot like writing to yourself. Although people feel as if they are published when they are in Milla de Oro Magazine, when the Director publishes material in his own works, it is often unnoticed. For example, I just walked into the Inwood Theatre giving them a deal to advertise in the magazine and it would be up to them as to how they would want to go about it. I like it because it is much better than trying to get a casino in my magazine. There is good reason to believe that they already have a good understanding of what they can accomplish. Grady, the on-duty manager saying I already had a good pitch. However, I’m applying for social security disability. It has the possibility of being more money than what I have from being employed by my parents for supporting me with this computer work. Showing that corporations and those that write books like, Thrive, really put happy endings on something that is a money trap. I have only made $2.37 from the ads on my website with the sum 4000 readers I had. And now they won’t pay me until I have another dramatic increase in readership. Here in the Preston Hollow, Highland Park, and Bluffview area there are only 20,000 families that I will be trying to reach ten to twelve times this year rather than 250,000 people 1.65 times like I did in Colombia. Looking to butt heads with an editor, is high on my list. From my own book Words Will Never hurt Me and the very few readers I have had saying it is perfect, only having been the truth in the moment; I am still fearful of losing my direction. There are those that say you must teach others and give yourself to others in the hope for a good outcome even if you fear you have nothing to offer. It would be nice if I could share something other than my application for social security disability as a result of the run around through much of what I did after getting an education. The theater seems to think that they can draw attention and if you look at the cover video, you’ll see I offered them a solution as well as the Miracle Mile. To make matters what they are, movies do seem very real until you look at our American space walkers on the International space station. The solution for myself, going around looking for a miracle is a good idea. So, I should be happy to be on social security disability and insurance. I could try to get this published in the Dallas Morning News or the City Paper and work with an editor who already has a job and not have to do anything but keep rewriting this until the editor wasn’t unsure as to who the target market was. It’s still the same as looking for a miracle and seeing if you have work that does not make life out of enjoyment. Running around with the editor cutting this whole paragraph, the editor is indeed doing me a favor. I would have to work with that. Explaining to the editor the nature of their favor by getting their papers brand on my writing shouldn’t be necessary to write an ad in a sense for their own publication. Again, the theater liked my pitch and I am happy to hear that because in this de-ja-vu moment, readers are supposed to buy the kindle version of my latest piece. Or scan the qr code and buy the digital version from OneDrive in order to read the whole book. To the last 30 pages hold the excuse I have for not telling anybody what happened to me when it happened. Thinking I had any more of a voice when I was 18 was what got me in trouble and is keeping me at a distance now. So, is there anything to study here? Yes! The fact that I am thinking my career still has potential and hope.
An editor would be good to work with, as people indeed have read what I have written. This article is so full to what makes sense to a new reader, that the direction from an editor to get this published would greatly help. If there wasn’t another book in the making, a clear-cut place to end this engagement with a reader to draw conclusions would be decisive. That I am indeed trying my best to sustain myself with the writing that could come together more clearly. Just trying to take every paragraph to judge where a reader might come into the story looking for a miracle on the Miracle Mile. The Golden Mile magazine written with leverage from the book Words Will Never hurt Me and the self-publishing of one’s own voice to be put out in Bland Book; is a regal task. This article is my first effort to sit down after very carefully contemplating my situation and my desire for a little bit more money. My wife separated from me because I could not support myself in the real world, even it was a third world country. Taking the route to get insurance and fair housing may very well still generate free magazines, they are supposed to be free. Accepting even one ad or one purchase of my book, I’m not sure how that affects my work status. It’s something that really needs to be overlooked now and it is something very hard for me to back out of with my business. I’m still discovering why I think I need readers. People think they can help in any number of other ways, not financially or from relationships. So, I will see if I can get this past over by a paper with a name to make it fit in my next edition. That is the gist of my pep talk I had with Matt B. at Velvet Taco after a Friday night reunion late into the evening.

No one died. That seems to be the real drawback to the story. After coming back from Colombia trying to sell diamonds that were not sent back to me from my wife; my passport quickly went missing. I was unable in my position at the time to accuse anybody seeing as that is how I was getting myself in trouble in the first place. There was a Detective Waller that called me after I had the police come to my door twice and I told him the whole story as I knew it. Starting from when my Bluffview house key in my ranking for the keys went missing in Colombia nearly a year a half ago. The police in this country think you must go out and score immediately after coming back from Colombia. Because you would have to be addicted of course to cocaine. There is no other explanation for someone in America to think you would be there. So, coming back there were the helicopters flying overhead that I have now realized is unusual for this area. The most alarming case being waking up just before falling asleep naked to throw on my shorts and pull out the white pockets to run out onto the terrace as a helicopter had its light shown into my bedroom flying just over the house. Since then, there has been no attention payed to my missing passport even though I have called and left more messages to Detective Waller that I need that passport to get a new one. The drama began to lie in my affairs with Fran Phillips of Preston Hollow in Glen Lakes. She spent a lot of time with me giving me a bit of Americana that I desperately needed. I sold my books and made $14.75 at Half Priced Books and bought a ten-year anniversary magazine of the death of Robin Williams that caused Lucas DaSilva to react again. The same as he has done to my making of Milla de Oro Magazine on Lucidpress and coming back to the States to need and do jewelry again.en Finca el Descanso.
Not knowing what was true in many ascpects left little choice but to be wary of all that was around the corner, every eye open.

The plot is still there as I have found out recently my wife kept my purse in Colombia. She said there was blood on it from when I saved her in the locked room. And, because I didn’t have the sales receipt for the stones in the purse although they have their appraisal papers. Also, my wrist bands from all the hospitals I have been in over the years are no longer all in my purse. There are only a few remaining from most recently. Somehow three or four of the bracelets have disappeared. It seems that what ever has been after me over the last couple of years is now at a distance. Things are not disappearing left and right as the case had been. I am no longer holding myself responsible for my losses and there are those close to me, not necessarily my wife because she hasn’t forgiven me, that would agree my things did vanish. Right now, I am looking for a place for my things, be it Ebay or Etsy. I’m thinking Etsy because they do sell things that have been previously owned. Ebay seems to not do that except for media and the Ebay stores seem to only resell dangerous stuff. There isn’t really a place to sell souvenirs. I am going to do my best with my Etsy store. Even though my things are souvenirs, I don’t think they are collectibles like on Ebay. It’s a shame I must do all the work, I was hoping there would be like a Coinstar but for physical items. I hardly want to take my old tennis shoes to St. Vincent’s because they represent my Bipolar diagnosis. My diagnosis is the real turmoil right now, especially with my stage time at Opening Bell Coffee. Trying to open up to strangers to make $75 reading a poem on a board. Or just to read about my need for my wife to forgive me and take back the incessant misgivings she has told about me. Explaining that I am needing assistance leaves little room for me to have expectations. Writing this piece at Starbucks and not having the slightest idea as to what the cartoon will be for the twelfth edition, spiritual uplifting causes are at most my desire to love. That miracle I’m looking for on the Miracle Mile just might turn into a movie for the Inwood Theatre eventually and it will be Golden. That’s a long way from helicopters.

I don’t cheat when I write. I didn’t cut any corners writing Words Will Never hurt Me and I’m even taking the long way to turn Bland Book from first person to third person. There is nothing in my magazines that is not authentic. All my articles come from my own perspective and they are completely self-initiated. I took it upon myself to write the works that I have done, and nothing was asked of me. There was not a lofty prize at the end waiting for me to spur me on. My writing is something I enjoy and want to express my enjoyment for all the readers I may have. Having a prize waiting for you at the end of the tunnel, like snow on the other side where you had left a sunny day doesn’t happen but once in a lifetime. To be geared for this reward on a continual basis will not allow you to create what most people seek to read or pay attention to. This is not an attempt to get you to write more, although I feel that making magazines is better for your self-worth than posting on Facebook. The fact is you must regurgitate what you consume. You cannot simply consume everything without output. My books are an output of the circumstances that built them. I was trying to capture in a nutshell what was going on around me. To show my level of recuperation and belief in myself that the world indeed was meant to have a benefit for those who are creators. In Words Will Never hurt Me, I simply wrote what came to mind as fast as I could, writing nearly six to seven pages a day in multiple journals about multiple ideas. I wanted to be enthralled with my topics of interest. I let go and let my interests take over guiding my writing. It was meant to be the reality of my mind to show that I was sane when speaking of things most people would be abhorred to talk about in public. The culture that surrounded my writing did not know better and I was trying to showcase that a higher calling and writing for something you believed in could relieve you of any situation.
Copyrights and misquotes unintended
I did not cheat
However, I was relieved of the situation by being forced to move along with my magazine and everything I put into it. My educational writings about the forefront of technology was leading to overall chaos and ill will towards humankind. That the technology has indeed superseded us. I was trying my best to keep up with the digital forefront that had taken over my screen and left me with very little room to call my own. I had no space to conjure up new ideas and have the time to let them pass. I did my best to keep the ideas continuously fresh and interesting as I kept moving forward. I continue with my writing knowing full well that the ideas I try to put forth are already past and never present. The newsworthy nature of trying to relate facts rather than ideas that motivate people to follow in your footsteps, keeps much of what I have to say at bay. I have written how to be successful in the Sabana Centro, and some of this writing here shows how people on Medium are successful. They write to tell you how it’s done and what success looks like. That is why some college bound students want their essays written by someone who is already successful and go to lengths to interview those they admire for words they can emulate. I am a worker of writing and therefore treated as a worker. My writing is meant to succeed as there would be nothing left to drive me to write except the belief that it is work. This is demoralization at its core and taught in schools on how to be a boss.I am my own boss. Those that have feelings of remorse, guilt, or are victims are brought up to be made into workers of society. Trying to demonstrate one’s sanity along a timeline like in my Bland Book is just another attempt for myself to feel better that I am steering clear of the wrong things to do. When in fact, I’m trying to show I’m being led in the right direction. This whole time I have been doing great things that only a few have noticed or appreciated. Do I feel bad for being overlooked or unable to draw in leads with technology? Not really, I have a repertoire.
Choosing your own path to bring out concepts that are unique to you is what every writer is after. Someone else writing, in terms of setting you up to look good, holds you accoutable for all that they say. Using your own words to highlight your expeirence is authentic.

so many friendships with the customers
Like losing a wife or the second head of a man with two heads, City Café is closing its doors after 35 years. The effort put forth by Karim Alaoui will be felt for some time. It is with a very heavy heart that Karim has come to inform the Park Cities community that the landlord of the building offered new lease terms and didn’t make staying a viable option. The Bistro will remain open. City Café has been a big part of Karim’s life since 2002 and he is extremely sad to see it go. He developed so many friendships with the customers over the years to the point that each of them has become extended family. Looking back on the last 18 years, all the smiles and wonderful parties, wine dinners, and celebrations, Karim is thankful to have been a part of them.
Karim Alaoui walks into a new chapter
City Café after 35 years
Karim is not sure what the immediate future holds, but he certainly hopes to be welcoming all his friends and family into another restaurant, perhaps his own, sometime very soon. He would humbly welcome any ideas or suggestions any of the readers may have. More than anything, Karim wants to thank from the bottom of his heart for all the patronage and friendship over the last 18 years at City Café. Recently returning home to honor his father who died almost coinciding with the closing of City Café, Karim is feeling from all sides what I new chapter in life feels like. The Weekly newspaper that Karim’s father started in Rabat the capital of Morocco is still in existence with their political satiric cartoons and they have reached out. Karim’s father was popular and made things easier there for free speech after studying in France and getting put in jail too many times for talk in the 50s and 60s before becoming more important. Karim the maître d' or as he prefers it the host followed his mentor Franco Bortolatzi who had one of the most famous restaurants in Dallas the Riviera that closed in ’99, Karim soon to have the ambiance and the people grow around him at the City Café. City Café originally got its start in 1985 from Mardish Schmae who worked in EDS the Ross Perot office and wanted a restaurant on her own. Karim met with her in her 70’s and she sold it to him and two other investors from Lombardi Marti in 2002
Recently new clientele was relocating and coming into the area
Jason Gorman took over the kitchen when Karim first took over who was working with Schmae and then they promoted Mario Flores who was the Sous chef at the time. There have been about four or five chefs over the years and the staples had become so well known, that there were two guys in the kitchen who cooked the dishes with their eyes closed. With the food, Karim and his four languages (Arabic, French, English, and Spanish) could make anybody feel at home when they came in the door. He learned three languages at home in school entering Dallas in ’89 to work at many restaurants including Mediterraneo. Recently new clientele was relocating and coming into the area trying out City Café. The booth we sat in for the interview was designed for Paul Lowe and he would feel at home and nothing would make him feel as good as having a nice meal at City Café. T. Boone Pickens and Ross Perot would come in and sit with their family before they passed and these people Karim will remember the most because he will not see them again. There were other people that would be there every Friday and if they weren’t Karim would get on the phone and call to find out where they were using Open Table. The patrons were like family bringing news from trips as they travelled, and City Café was a big Republican restaurant with a favorite K. Bailey Hutchinson who even expressed her unhappiness at one point when the place was redecorated to modern from rustic. George W. Bush even came to City Café as his first restaurant to visit after leaving the White House. Karim lives in the neighborhood, he treated the guests on the Miracle Mile as if they were in his home along with City Café, preferring to walk rather than drive to work even though some people arrived frustrated just driving five miles to get there. Saying hello to everyone, Karim felt accustomed to meeting and greeting all the people who walked through the door knowing 85% of all the people’s names. City Café is closed now, but the Bistro is still open and welcome to all those who wish to have a friendly day out to get great service and still excellent food.

Con el advenimiento de PopArt, la gente ahora puede ver que al comprar arte estás invirtiendo en esa persona. No solo el artista se beneficia, sino que usted también lo hace con el aumento en el valor del arte que compra. Es lo mismo para la música como lo fue con el género alternativo. Es fácil ver que los artistas pueden continuar y vivir vidas extraordinarias y que el arte que crearon para la compra única o para la compra en masa tiende a funcionar bien en el mercado durante largos períodos de tiempo. Lo importante no es solo la actuación para hacer la venta de la música ahora que se pueden organizar tantas cosas para que la coreografía se una en el escenario. Artistas de todo tipo necesitan que sus obras sean vistas y compartidas. Para la mayoría cuando tomas una foto de su arte, el sentimiento se pierde en su autenticidad y es importante contribuir de alguna manera a ese artista compartiéndolo o gustándolo en las redes sociales. Otros artistas crean cosas que deben ser presenciadas en persona y los medios que usan son tan auténticos que no pueden separarse de la pieza. A estos artistas a menudo les va bien y son una furia de actividad, lo que genera una gran exageración y entusiasmo por todo lo que hacen en su trabajo en la vida cotidiana. Hay otros artistas que quieren proporcionar lo que hacen de forma gratuita porque los compradores no se atreverían a leer a menos que fuera gratis. No hay una exageración o anticipación generalizada por algo que hagan algunos artistas. Sí, hay interés, pero nada lo suficientemente sexy como para merecer la adopción del material anfitrión. Pedirle a alguien que pague por algo que simplemente no tiene una marca conocida en la misma línea en cuanto a lo que se está comparando, deja poco espacio para que una audiencia se comprometa con el material. Sí, se puede poner mucho trabajo en un proyecto, pero a menos que haya un grupo y una agencia de marketing que financien el proyecto para ir en la dirección de la cultura Pop una vez más, entonces los sentimientos de entusiasmo se pierden. Las personas tenderán a querer solo disfrutar del arte a su gusto y tomar lo que puedan a su propio ritmo. Algunos artistas no requieren la aceptación para continuar haciendo lo que están haciendo naturalmente. Parecen incapaces de contenerse de lo que parece liberarlos de su conciencia, por lo que el público es solo un espectador y no un participante activo, como con la locura detrás de alguna música popular y formas de arte avanzadas que utilizan alta tecnología. Las herramientas que usan algunos artistas son tan modestas que el apoyo que parecen necesitar es mínimo, incluso si ya piden poco a cambio de lo que intentan retratar como un mundo de la vida real desde su perspectiva. Las personas tienen una idea general de cómo quieren entretenerse y algunos confían en la inteligencia artificial para proporcionarles nuevas sugerencias. Les gusta estar en la charla de la ciudad y saber de qué están hablando los demás para poder involucrarse con aquellos en los conceptos que son parte del nuevo día. La mayor parte del análisis sobre los próximos artistas se puede desglosar en entrevistas a través del periódico, de modo que los tiempos y días para ir a ver por usted mismo estén disponibles. Algunos artistas simplemente no tienen un espacio disponible para ellos todo el tiempo e intentar crear seguidores con recursos limitados puede ser una lucha. Hacer correr la voz de algunos artistas se convierte en el único método de ventas que tienen. Los números revelan qué artistas pudieron cumplir sus objetivos, al igual que el análisis corporativo de resultados trimestrales. Entonces, el arte es pertinente y oportuno y puede mantener su valor durante todo el año. Al demostrar que está dispuesto a comprar las obras de los artistas, eso demuestra cuán efectivo ha sido estimular su día y posiblemente incluso su año si algo fue tan asombroso. Es una inversión en cualquier artista prestar atención a los detalles que desean transmitir, ya que puede ser un puente hacia nuevos conceptos que se pueden incorporar a métodos más conservadores en el lugar de trabajo, si no se cuelga la obra de arte allí en el vestíbulo del edificio de oficinas o exhibido dentro del acuerdo de medios.

When I first arrived from Colombia the price advertised to me for promoting my material had gone up ten times. After a while of not advertising though Facebook, the price to reach the same number of people came back to a peso a person. I was distraught finding myself in Dallas and needing to pay ten pesos to reach the same people as had been my market for a long time. It wasn’t until after I could not make a new market with Dallas, still paying in the pesos as the denomination, and going through Christmas promoting material from a year ago that I have since on one side of the platform been able to convert the input to dollars. But the overall schematics of the operation and address are still in Colombia. I have not found a new location for my business and hundreds and hundreds of people have been searching for the Golden Mile in the last few months. Finding the home, I once lived in near El Dorado, Finca el Descanso. I find it is good for the people to find where the Golden Mile is from. I have changed most of my email contact and web contact to the address I am located at in Dallas; what I am using for my tax records and social security. But the address on google maps for the Golden Mile has not changed because I do not want to directly have a corner on the Miracle Mile. I will be trying to advertise to the Bluffview, Highland Park and Preston Hollow area after I publish. Creating a new market on Facebook and knowingly transmitting my request from Dallas. Facebook has come to understand that I have been in Dallas for some time and should allow me some traction into the new territory. I will probably find some new added comfort with my endeavor after trying to push my cover and stories through with this edition.

I was in hopes to use Libra to make the transfer, bringing my cost of market with me, but that hasn’t hit the news in months. I think with Mastercard backing out along with PayPal it would have ended up another unattainable crypto currency even if it was backed by rustcoin something that has fared well abroad. It was international and had no internal relation to the United States, so therefore was not adopted. Having had to physically move myself into the new location to get a grip on the market, I’m set back quite a bit. Leaving my wife with my dog Levi, in a territory that turned its back on me for not making money and not paying me in the process, has only left me with the story here on the Miracle Mile. The story that, ‘you don’t want to treat me like a Colombian, do you?’ I go on to explain what this means in my book Words Will Never hurt Me. I was able to go to San Francisco Bay and drive around the Bay in two days, passing by Facebook HQ as one of my stops. Along with PayPal that I have used Xoom to send money to people back in Colombia for very little money, less than $2.00 that they can pick up in cash. I did not have anyone to talk to and it was Saturday evening when I was there. I did not have the heart to go inside, but I’m sure that is something to consider next time I make my timeline on Bing around the Bay. Making more time to get out of the car and walk into the HQ of these silicone giants. Just to say that this surveillance that isn’t allowing me to get ahead, is not a lesson for anybody to learn from. I have even tried to accommodate the new California regulations into my own analytics in that much more information about users is less than accurate nowadays making even digital publications more like print going off old information. It’s one reader at a time and they do add up over time, that seems to be the number clients are interested in; people continuing to read the old magazines in Milla de Oro Magazine website. Hopefully, as google promised, the ads will come back on the website.
Trying to bring the market you once had with you to a new location can cause a lot of disruption in readership and retainment of clients.
