Thursday, April 30: My 15 Minutes of Fame 🤣

Good day, ladies and gents. I got up went to Mike’s. Soon after the nurse came but she was pleasant enough. She’s the grumpy nurse, but she isn’t pretty good spirits today. I got Mike a diet Pepsi, But I forgot my script because I got a call from Channel 3 news and I had to interview coming up On Zoom at 11 AM. While that was going on channel 6 called and when I finish the zoom call with a female reporter I think called channel 6 and they wanted me to interview over at 16th and Lombard where it happened at 2 PM. That was an interesting interview because there was two other guys that they interviewed at the corner in the really put a lot of work into it. One of the reporters came in. They interviewed a rabbi who’s at the synagogue across from the elementary school hired. They got somebody from the elementary school who had a separate video of the whole incident. that was interesting. I forgotten my hat and brought my coat with me because I like the way my black shirt looks. Then I got back to Mike’s around 2:15 PM and then here comes Fox News calling and then I called them back and they want me to interview at 3:30 PM at the corner of 15th and Lombard. Quite a busy day today meanwhile, Mike is doing pretty well and I’m gonna do yoga right after my interview these people. Hopefully they don’t have anybody else lined up like the channel 6 people too cause I really just wanna do the interview and as the cool kids say “split.” well, anyhow, I was about to go to the Photo Lounge and then I got a call from Fox News and they want to interview me around 3 o’clock. At first they were gonna interview me at 15th and Lombard at 3:30 but the guy said they would get there sooner they’re not gonna film me. They’re just gonna interview me and maybe take pictures of the of the spot. So I’m here 24 hours after it happened and it’s the sun’s coming out and traffic is moving @ it’s rush-hour pace. I’m hoping they’ll get there by 3:15 PM so I don’t have to sweat going to HYP. When I got here, the action news people were still still here. They’re still in their van and I’m hanging out in the corner.  Well, that went pretty well and it was short. He interviewed me by iPhone. And then went back to Mike’s and now I’m heading to my 4 PM 90 minute class. The Action News Report was the most thorough of all the news stations. So tried to get a link for that. Alice‘s class was great as usual my left knee. The muscle was very tight that Angellica recommendations after class about what to do about awkward and my ankles. We went back to Mary’s and I decided to skip class cause I was kind of pooped. Then we got Indian and watched the Sixers beat the Celtics Sixers beat them up pretty good. We then watched Law and order.

Sunday, March 1: Clean Up @ Millbourne. Choir & Yoga see

Good day everybody this morning I got up around 8 AM and grabbed a quick breakfast and then caught Uber back to my place to meet the cleaninglady I have to come to my house. She showed up on time and while she was cleaning, I was running around organize a little bit. She left pretty quickly andthen I went to my desk to organize all the stuff that was piling on top. Meanwhile, I discovered I had an adapter for my headphones and an extra set of headphones so I grabbed those. I got caught up and stuff and didn’t realize that it was two past 12 noon. They want us to be at the church by 12:15. It is now 12:23 PM and I’m just hitting 30th St. station. I was really lucky I caught the train as it was showing up so that helped a little bit. I’m hoping the fact that I’m a little bit later isn’t gonna be a big deal. I found all kinds of weird papers and what not. Oh, I forgot to mention that Pat had some homeless dude throw rocks at his cars at Walnut Street. He recorded it and reported it to the police. I don’t think he got hit by me the rocks, but he did report the guy and the guys who own homeless dude
in University City. All right, I did help set up the risers. I showing up a little late didn’t really matter that much. And then had a little break and was going to 
do run to a vendor to get food. And then realized I could go to the little convenience store and grab one of those egg and cheese sandwiches real quick and they would heat it up so I have to walking around unnecessarily that’s what I did Mary’s taking care of business at home and I’m going to eat the sandwich real fast and I have also bought a Pepsi to hold me up. It’s now 1:30 PM. Well, I finished off my Pepsi and my egg sandwich. I feel a lot better. I also got my music and folder for the concert. Our bit rehearsal starts at 2:10. It’s now 2:08 PM they’re the other Choir is about to finish their rehearsal slot. Well, we did our rehearsal and now I’m going to call Mike and Larry to report on things and to respond to them. Mike got turned down for the 801 Locust Pl. because it his credit score it’s weird low income places turning down people due to credit scores yikes. We’re on break until the concert starts a woman next to me eating a sandwich of peanut butter and blueberries! That’s different I guess!😬 well, we just finished our performance as a choir now. It’s now 4:49 PM. We are waiting in the back for when all requires sing together for the last finale. After that, I got a race to the back and meet Mary and then go to yoga. What the ending number was really nice and it ended way before 5:30 so that was very excellent. I felt a lot less pressured. I wasn’t able to help with the risers like I usually do, but Mary and I just were able to take our sweet time getting to the 6 o’clock yin and sound healing session. Well that session was an hour and a half. The end was maybe a half hour and the rest of the sound healing and that was pretty intense. She had all kinds of instruments and they were playing pretty well and loud! My main problem was there was somebody snoring their ass off nearby. Fortunately they stopped. It was pretty long and interesting. I was pretty relaxed. Mayor and I were very hungry. Got some Indian and then went and watched them law and order..
