On approximately 4-21-06, I walked to the First Institutional Baptist Church to try and get some dinner. I was homeless in Phoenix and had no money and no place to stay.

I walked quite a ways and upon arrival, there were two Phoenix Policemen at the place near the entrance to the dining room.They said it was alright to go in.

I was refused entrance by a Black Man with a Pink hat on of some sort. He claimed they were full.I was somewhat angry about this but forgot about it, (because I have this training that I have to forget everything bad that is done to me, well that's over), but after beging refused shelter at Central Arizona Shelter Services a week later, I got really upset. I cut my Arizona Driver's license in pieces that night after a Phoenix Police Car kept chasing up and down the street, I believe because they were following me. I won't be back to this Baptist Church. Thank You,Phoenix Library

Ok. Let's specify that there was ONE GUY there who wouldn't let me in. Actually, that can happen. This was an emotional reaction that I had to being homeless. It is fairly common. It is far easier to ignore little things when you are working. On the streets makes you very touchy at times, at least that's the way it affects me. That's why I take any job I can get because it's that or the streets.

However, the truth is, that I agree with the Jewish ideas about speech. They are not easy to live with. Am I a Jew? Actually, maybe I am. I don't care what anyone thinks, but I am fighting extremely hard to find a way to satisfy those Jewish ideas of speech. It was easy a long time ago, but as I find myself in very bad situations with some people who aren't at all concerned about the issue of speaking correctly (including writing on this board or in a book or on television), it becomes harder and harder not to act like "the world". Well, I must try as hard as possible to go to the highest standard I can.

Am I saying I'm better. No. I'm saying I want to be. Also, it doesn't have to be a particularly Jewish idea. Jews don't own everything, it's just that I've read a lot of ideas that seem to come from them. Well, speaking correctly is not necessarily a Jewish idea. So maybe I'm a follower of the Dali Lami then? Well, maybe I am. He has some good ideas and I think that it has to do with not spreading anger and frustration. I must find a way to channel it away harmlessly.

Maybe it's like Bruce Lee said. "Be Water". Water can take hard blows and it doesn't hurt it at all.

So you see where I am going with all of this. If you want to go into a Christian viewpoint and get it from there, then you could do that to. Forgiveness.

But I prefer the Dali Lama's approach of not making a particular religious statement here.

Finally, I will say "War if Over" in honor of Mr. John Lennon. It is useless. I'm not going to allow it gentlemen. Everyone go on about you're fighting, but 'I have better things to do', to quote my former lawyer's associate. Yes, I had a lawyer and they weren't interested in the things I've talked about, so I should have known this was useless.

Peace

Some People are creeps and some aren't. I just wasn't lucky that day. One creep doesn't mean everyone is. That's as close to an apology as anyone will get from me.
