U.S. Bank

2013-09-06 - Friday - 05:26 AM: My bank balance was $368.41 USD. Back on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2013, at 04:07 AM, I wrote in an email to myself: "Apx 3,500,000 VND ($164.5 USD), $1 USD (21,276.60 VND as of Tuesday, the 20th of August 2013), and a $10 Euro Bill ($13.37 USD and 284,468.09 VND) in my pocket. Apx $3 (63,829.79 VND) in coins in a bag. Bank: $318.41 (6,774,680.85 VND). Total: 10,644,255.33 USD ($500.28 USD apx)." My username was jarnold0211. Apx 3,500,000 VND ($164.5 USD), $1 USD (21,276.60 VND as of Tuesday, the 20th of August 2013), and a $10 Euro Bill ($13.37 USD and 284,468.09 VND) in my pocket.

Bills for August and September: possible estimates: predictions: $350 for rent for August, September and parts of October 2013: $150 for food. That leaves me with zero dollars in early October. If I work September, I'll be paid early October. I may go broke if I am not working and paid early October when I may run out of money." Aug. 30: 10:54 PM: "31st of August 2013 Update: No changes at my U.S. Bank. But my wallet is around $140 or less or more now. 11 days ago, my wallet may have had around $20 more or so."

Perception

2013-09-09 - Monday - 05:22 AM - I have been watching Perception since Saturday or so when I first started and I am now finished watching all the episodes to the most recent of season 2. Today, watched the newest episodes of Perception, Breaking Bad, Ray Donovan, and even and lastly Dexter. Loan called. I am watching the first episodes to Anger Management and Unforgettable at Kiwi from around 7:30 - 9 PM.

Electricity

2013-03-10 - Tuesday - 07:02 PM - Tuesday, the 10th of September 2013, my room-mate Hung Nguyen took his father to the doctors or hospital. When I cam home at 9:45 PM that night, Hung told me that I forgot to turn off the light when I left the house that morning and I did not know that and he was so mad and he had this split personality like Kathy would have. It seems that people who worship Buddha begin to get bipolar and other things from Satan. He also wants me to buy detergent soap for my clothes and I said that it is not smart to spend money when I do not have a job, a bunch of money, you know work, employment, as in incoming income.

Blacklist Deportation

2019-03-10 - Tuesday - 11:57 PM - I wrote: "People tell me that they will get me deported. I am making a list of people who tell me these things." Mom: "you must be very nice to people, especially when you don't have a job at the moment." But I did have a job, actually. I was teaching English to people and was getting paid while in Vietnam, 2012-2017. Kangaroo Eglish Club: "He will never get a job mom." Vy Le: "Please add me to that list." I asked Vy: "Do you hate me, now?"

Wag The Dog?

2013-09-11 - Wednesday - 01:17 AM - Facebook - Yesterday, I met a man who has a teaching certificate. I do not have a teaching certificate. Guess what he did. He asked me for advice. He is going to have an interview at a school in HCM. Do you find that strange? Wouldn't I be asking him for advice? He is the one with the "Qualification." Never mind my teaching experience during these past 10 (ten) months in Vietnam, and 10 (ten) years of related experience in related things, and just my whole life in general of 28 years. But it is always nice to make new friends.

Replacement

2013-09-14 - Saturday - 04:16 AM - First Time in Vietnam - Couch Surfing Post - I replied: "You can live with my 25 year old Vietnamese male friend in district 12 for $25 USD a month (that is 500,000 dongs VND), because he wants to practice English. His name is Hung Nguyen. This offer goes to anybody who may be interested.:

Best Friends

2013-09-18 - Wednesday - 11:23 PM - Since I was about 12 years old in the year 1997, I started making top friends lists. It reminds me of when fathers say, "Billy, you are my favorite son. Do not tell your brother that or he will get angry." In closed-doors, I may make those lists of who I like more and who I like not as much. However, in the public, I prefer being friends with the more then the better. Plus, I try my best to flee from conditional friendships. That means I am not going to block them no matter what. Unconditional love means being there even when they aren't. Vy Le: "i will unfriend more when i have time." Me: "then why friend them in the first place?" Mom: "I keep everyone if at all possible." Mo Thi Ngoc Phan commented on my Facebook a few times.

Kathy Stole My Bike

2013-09-20 - Friday - 09:35 AM - She stole my bike. Le Hang Nguyen: - "it isn't make funny." I replied: "Who said it's funny?" Le: "This story is the past... let's see lesson..... yes. when you forgot it, you would been have the better solution." Me: "Sometimes, when we forget things, we make the same mistakes over again, which causes history to repeat itself in a bad kind of way, that is when we fail to remember, to not forget, that is when we do not learn from our mistakes of the past." Sue Trang Nhi: "Why do you say that again and again? better... you should spend time for another things . Would be better !" Me: "You have insufficient foresight, wisdom, information, knowledge, insight, to make such statements, accusations, premature assumption, subliminal and subconscious judgements. What is better? What is worse? Who decides what is better and what is not better? Who is the rule maker in these regards? When we fail to remember certain things, we become lethargic, boring, apathetic, depressed, into making habits, lifestyle trends, that will set us down a wide path towards a cliff." My monthly $6 USD bank maintenance fee was waived August but I had to pay it for September. I wrote: "What should international travelers do with their money? Which bank should I go with in Vietnam, Original Oatmeal? For the past year, my monthly maintenance fee, with my U.S. Bank, was waived, until September 2013. SO, this month, I had to pay about $6 for this month's maintenance fee. I only want a bank account if it is free. It costs a few dollars to get money out of ATMs. I am looking for the cheapest options. I may choose to keep the money in my pocket to save money. Every penny counts. Every dong counts.

Landlords Self-Rent?

2013-09-23 - Monday - 12:00 AM - Me: "Jesus was and were and is and are the Word..... Jesus is good to the last drop. Now, why am I not dead yet from Jesus-Caused Clogged Arteries?.... Edward Nims, why would Jesus pay rent for living in my heart when He's the Landlord?

Prove He Didn't Exist

2013-09-24 - Tuesday - 11:33 PM - I wrote on Facebook: "Clarence Welker is in denial. People need to prove that Jesus does not exist because most people know that He is there. The majority rules. The jury know that our own conscience is guilty of running from the things that we know to be true. Joseph Holmes is also in denial as well. Who is going to pay for your sins?" Clarence: "lol the majority rules , what an asinine and deluded statement. Sorry pal but the number of people that believe something does not make it more or less true.... By the way Joey Arnold 5 billion people disagree with you that Jesus is lord or god. So even by your own statement you are wrong.... I always wondered how it is that the death of a person ( or so called person, Jesus) actually translates into you/us being forgiven for our "sins". Sounds like to me it is just a case of most people not wanting to accept responsibility for their own actions. Really it comes off as cheap and deceitful. But who am I to point out the obvious flaws in the "Truth"." Me: "Who said I am hijacking other beliefs? It is actually the other way around. Satan is always stealing things from God, including the so-called pagan holidays of Christmas and Easter.... Our existence is proof enough that God still cares. That rich man asked if he could come back to warn people about Hell, but you know that some people will still deny Him.... Why do we need to provide evidence for God when God is the creator of evidence?.... Edward Nims, all our righteousness is as filthy rags. Our very best is still mud and garbage. We are not perfect. God is perfect. God demands perfection. No matter how hard we try, we cannot be good enough for His standards that is in and of ourselves alone without the saving blood of the lamb.... Lincoln Phipps, the purpose behind the fairy tale of evolution is to explain away the creation.... JD Kain, science must be observed. It must be tested. Gravity can be study in the present tense. Can you study the big bang in the present tense?.... Evolution is not about destroying Christianity, but in destroying the reputation of God who is not directly connected to religion.... Rosemary Lyndall-Wemm, what I say does not come from me. It has nothing to do me. What I say are not self-assertions because I did not make these things up. I am only a messenger. Don't shoot the messenger..... Clarence Welker, if God is not real, then please leave this forum because you are wasting your time. Do something that is more useful and productive."

Back Talk

2013-09-24 - Tuesday - 11:41 PM - Kyle Smith - "When a friend is dissing another one of your friends behind their back, do you ever wonder what they are saying about you behind your back? You should!" Me: "Things would go much smoother if I just didn't have a back (to talk in back of) to begin with."

Blood Bond

2013-09-26 - Thursday - 08:11 PM - How do sisters become friends while brothers become enemies? How can two bloods be so different from each other and yet so united and bonded together through something deeper than blood and fire and water itself?

My Vietnamese Name

2013-09-27 - Friday - 12:44 AM - What should be my Vietnamese name? I want to have a nick-name that is in the Vietnamese language. Submit your ideas to me. Winners may win the grand prize of forever being remembered as my Vietnamese Name Giving Mother, that is even if you're male. Ted Pickett: "Pho Nguyen." Me: "Nguyen = New River, right? What does Pho mean?" Ted: "Pho..it's a beef and rice noodle soup." I also wrote: "@Elly Na, I want a name that describes and illustrates the kind of person that I am clearly, so that people can begin to see my purpose in Vietnam. I want people to see me as a bubble of fun." My name: "He Who Adds (the Meaning Behind Joseph): ông cho biết thêm người." Original Oatmeal: "I like Long and the Nhan (Heart of Gold). I want to start making videos on Youtube, and writing, and other things as well. I want to do some things only in Vietnamese. I think I should first have a Vietnamese name first. I want a new Vietnamese identity and persona." Love An Anna: "tHIEN nAM. THIEN IS GOD . nAM IS SAI GON CITY. my name should be the "God of this city?"" RIP Painting Propaganda on Facebook. Peter Rasp - Ram Reflection. I asked on the 24th: "What's the difference between fun and funny?" Vince Warren: "Fun is a verb...having fun. Funny is a reaction to a situation or other verbage?" Jen Pableo: ""Let's have fun." .... "It is a funny movie.""

Revolution Hawaii

2013-09-27 - Friday - 06:10 AM: Facebook Blogspot Review - Andrew Fries - "I think, for the most part, humans are very cynical creatures. We focus more on the failures and the upsets and not the victories and triumphs. But that very well might be my personal view of humanity projected on everyone else. For I am a chief offender in that regard..." I replied: "Facebook has Hash Tags like Twitter?" 07:00 AM: I asked on CS: "Do foreigners grow on trees?"

Dexter Goes to WOLBI Argentina

2013-09-29 - Sunday - 06:18 AM - How many schools does Word Of Life have? There are the Word Of Life Bible Institutes in New York, Florida, Canada, Argentina, and are there any other schools, colleges? I am sure Pete Steele would love to be the president of a West Coast WOLBI. I would love to see a WOLBI in Japan for Kazu Kato and one in Africa for our African friends. There should be at least one WOLBI for each continent.... I would think that Brazil would have a WOLBI before Argentina because isn't Brazil bigger? Is that WOLBI in Argentina just for the world famous Argentina steaks? Dexter was going to be a student at the Argentina WOLBI, but then something happened in the series finale of that last episode of Dexter, that is season 8. 02:46 AM: Lucas Campbell was tagged in Maggie Campbell's photo. I wrote: "He's a sarcastically sophisticated intellectual, and not just a grumpy old brother, haha." 02:27 AM: Fulton Hawk was at Tim Hortons in Vancouver BC. I replied: "Always Fresh & Always French." 02:55 AM: On CS, I wrote: "I am Looking For a Room For Rent & For English Students: I am a white-skin American. I wear glasses.
