Smelly Luggage

_{2013-04-13 - Saturday - 05:31 AM: Andy Nguyen of Papa Foods: "Vietnamese people are so dishonest. If I don't help you and let you stayed in my place for 2 months , you should be homeless now, so keep your mouth shut and don't say Vietnamese people like that, and by the way , your suitcase with all your stuff still here at my place, you better go back and get them out or I'll through them in a trash can. You are the bad American guy that I ever seen. Kathy this is a good thing for you to get him out of your life." 08:17 AM: "You are not a reporter, you are only the loser guy from your own country and now come to Vietnam crying like a baby, you are making a bad image for all american people. I am a secessed bussiness man so I don't really need to seek revnge from you. I told you already that if you don't get your dirdy stuff out of my place I'll through them in trash."08:48 AM: "Yeah I know you so well seen you stayed in my resstaurant for 2 months, you sound like your stuff are very important to you but why dont you carry them with you or at least get them out before you move from north to south Vietnam, just because you only have those not working old hard drive and a broken camera that you asked me to fix and it can't be fix. No body walk away and left there most valuable things behide you here me? I will keep them here for you pick them up all your valuable and expensive stuff, go get them ASAP." 10:15 AM: "You are right i dont want to see you again but your most valuable stuff still in my place. I want to see you to get them all out ASAP, nobody will réponsable for your stuff ok? Your suitcase still here come and get it i dont want to take a picture cause it really smell bad."}

More Fish in the Sea

_{2013-04-15 - Monday - 06:06 PM - Katie Can: "Feels like you should get the hell out of that country. go some place nicer.... you will find another girl and live a great life. this is way too much drama. Love you!" But Kathy was not my girl. I felt like I was held at gun point, forced to pretend as if she was my GF. It's a long story and people took it all out of context.}

Spitting Respect

_{2013-04-16 - Tuesday - 12:04 PM - Tyler Capp: "You have a real fancy way of spitting on people who have helped you. I saw the messages you sent to Andy. I see how you've treated those who just want to help you. And now you expect Andy to do more things for you? Unreal. I think you should pay Andy 10 million VND (at least) PLUS shipping and handling. This should cover things you should have been paying such as rent and food. I think you have 2 weeks to come up with this. And I don't want to hear that you are saying bad shit to my friend Andy anymore. Not a single word. Especially when you haven't even THANKED him for saving your sorry ass. Not a single word to Andy except "Thank you". Do you understand? I know you hate being told what to do but if you continue to upset a good man like Andy, somebody who selflessly helped you, then I will go there and personally throw out all of your stuff. DO YOU UNDERSTAND???" 08:58 PM: I responded, "Hostel has my passport. I can't fly in airplane without passport. I got to get apartment room first." But actually, I could have checked out of my hostel bed. Long story short, people helped me get my stuff back. So, I didn't send money to Andy, as far as I can remember. Others got it and sent it from that Papa Foods restaurant in Bac Ninh and down to house in Saigon. I think Joseph Dinh rode me to pick it up. It was in a box. And he drove me to my then apartment room in the Binh Thanh District.}

What do you mean?

_{2013-04-18 - Thursday - 08:32 AM - Jojo ThienLy Nguyen: "What do you mean?" 07:28 PM: Eric Albert Morse: "It might be good to remember 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."}

Thrown Out? In the dog house or worse?

_{2013-04-20 - Saturday - 09:52 PM - Joy Sanchez began an Gmail chat conversation with me. I told her that I bought a 250.000 VND phone yesterday, Friday. A friend helped me buy it. Joy asked, "You broke up with your GF?" She kicked me out. She wanted all my money. No, she wasn't my GF. But she made me say she was my GF or else. I probably should have abandoned that toxic environment but felt helpless. It would have been better to stay away from people like Kathy, even if she was helping me. So, I told Joy a little bit about what happened. I was paying $6/day for my hostel bed in a room with 3 bunk beds, 1 bathroom. Joy asked me, "Did you sleep with her?" I responded, "I slept in her house on a mattress. I had a room downstairs. She slept with her mother, upstairs." Joy wanted to know if I had sex with Kathy. I told her no. Because Kathy was not my lover. I was staying at her house because Kathy was helping me. But Kathy also wanted a BF and was also asking if I would take her to America or something. Other people would ask me to do a fake marriage in order to make it to the USA. They said they would pay me thousands of dollars. I would turn down those offers during my time in Vietnam from 2012-2017, during my five years there in Asia. Kathy had a split personality. She physically abused me. She spat at me. She hit me. She scratched me. She tried to run me over with her motorbike. The list goes on. She would scream like a kid on a temper tantrum. She did many things to hurt people, to assault. She said she wanted to marry me. I said that I would. In that situation, I was trying to avoid more abuse from her. So, I was trying to say whatever that would get her off my back. Whenever I disagreed, she would attack me. So, I learned to just go with whatever she wanted. She made me take Vietnamese classes. I had to buy a bike. Then that bike vanished.}

Agape Church in District 3

_{2013-04-21 - Sunday - 12:25 AM - I wrote the address to a church I may have attended for a few Sundays: "Agape Church: 15 Tú Xương, 7; Quận 3; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam." I originally wrote a smaller version of that same address a day earlier on Saturday, the 20th, at 10:36 PM: "Agape Church: 15 Tú Xương, 7, District 3." 10:06 PM: Thien An Ant Ân Đinh: "Should we talk much about the Difference if it is not important for you? I just wonder what you will do for VN, for poor street children, for my country in case that you want to do some things here, not just talk about your seeing. I dont see you as American if you can enjoy yourself as Vietnamese, We can go outside, eat Vietnamese street food, talk about how beautiful the countries are, how kind people is and what should we do for our life."}

Billy & Joey

_{2013-04-22 - Monday - 06:19 PM - I wrote on my Facebook: "I am Billy? Starring Mr. Matthew Kurtz and the lovable Joey Arnold, the Original Oatmeal and laughs from Marilyn Mitchell and Rick Arnold. I am Billy. I will rock your socks off. That is what Janet Bailey always told me. I'd rock her socks off. I wish I could rock more off. Hey, I could never say it right, so please don't tell. Eat my marbles. Arnold Attic."}

Fat or Skinny?

_{2013-04-24 - Wednesday - 03:52 AM - Mom: "I have to forgive myself for gaining weight. I have to accept what I am and let God take care of it. I will not be fat bc I trust God---I look fairly normal for my age." I responded with one letter, "K." Many times, especially in the early 2010's, I'd respond like that as it was faster and stuff. 03:54 AM: Mom added, "Are you going to sleep tonight?" 04:06 AM: "Just wondered." I didn't respond.}

Revealing Lies

_{2013-04-25 - Thursday - 01:38 AM - I wrote: "That is automatic trust. I get kind of sick of the lies I hear people in Vietnam make. Like when kids say their dog ate their homework except that everybody does this here all of the time. I am always trying to reveal their lies by telling them, "No, because of this and that." But they do not seem to understand me. The biggest lie is when people say "I CANNOT do this or that" and i say to them, that they really mean "I don't WANT to do this or that." 03:25 AM: Mom: "I had to restart twice. also replanted the corn, cause our helper did it wrong cause he was in a hurry. I hear cannot when they mean will not or don't want to. can the girl from Bac Ninh talk to person at Papa Foods and convince him, maybe." 05:44 AM: I wrote: "I am asking about the quality of the wires. This is a crucial question because I have bought all kinds of headphones in my life and I know what I am talking about. I have years of experience with headphones. When you pay more money for headphones, you sometimes get the same exact weak cord to go with it that will break soon." 07:07 AM: I wrote: "I am not a spammer. If I said that you were a tree, would that make you a tree? Would you turn into a tree just because I said you were a tree? No. Because I cannot make and create and fabricate reality from what I say. Just because I say it, does not mean it becomes real. It does not matter what I say. What matters is what is real and not what you say or think or how you feel or what you think you see. It does not matter what people think of you. It only matters who you really are. Your reputation is only a shadow of who you really are of your character and integrity deep inside. Peter Phuc Bui says I spam. That does not make me a spammer. He may have got people to report me which may have activated the black hole to destroy my profile. However, that makes him a liar and a bully. What matters is what is real and not what people say. Do not hanged up by the opinions of others. Besides, humanity is cursed and blind and deaf to our perception and reception to reality to our interpretation and wisdom in knowing what is what and who is who."}

Boston Marathon Bombing

_{2013-04-26 - Friday - 11:22 AM - Mom: "Now that alternative truth videos have caught the perpetrators with their pants down in this Boston False Flag, just wait and see the mainstream "news" come out and try to explain that the guy in wheelchair had his PROSTHETIC leg blown off, so that's why there was no blood. Yeah, that's the ticket, let's print that! This is why there is a "Drill" part along with the tragic "Event" part--in case the perpetrators made glaring mistakes in the photos/videos, THEN they just explain it away by saying Oh, the picture / video you saw with the mistakes was just the DRILL. The real EVENT is to offer real victims for satan and strike fear into the sleeping public so they accept more executive orders to take away our freedoms." 11:22 AM: I responded: "It is kind of like the increased airplane security." 04:39 AM: "Here is what a Vietnamese young woman wrote and here is also my edit of it." But I do not have what she wrote, here. I forget what it was, specifically.}
