On 31 January 2020 had been the day I had arranged to pick up my rental car from the #Enterprise location nearby, which as per my usual the naming of the car had occurred once making my way going out of the parking lot area. I acknowledge I might be a bit odd for doing such, though I know I am not the only person who names a vehicle such as a car. As I had already prepared a bit, I continued getting the last bit of items arranged and packed before leaving to make my trip along with way to the east coast. Though I had attempted to find the group downtown in #Austin for the #NewYearsEve celebrations, I suppose I forgot the specific location which was supposed to be for the time. I am certain there was a purpose as from my childhood the Chinese New Year had been celebrated far more than the regular New Year celebrations as the trip to New York City would occur for the Chinese New Year to spend time with my Bok Gung, my Bok Pu, my cousin Jade, my Great Aunt Helen and her husband which is Jade's father. There were times my Aunt Linda and her husband Phillip had been at the celebrations with their daughter Catherine, however I remember a bit more of their attention being towards my biological sister Patricia Ann as she has more Asian features physically than I do.
Though the aspect of the New Years Eve kiss was not of specific importance to me as I simply have not had such with the exception of one year, I simply had wanted to spend time with like minded individuals and enjoy the time together. Nonetheless the during the drive I was able to see fireworks and enjoy seeing such light up the sky, and without the pain additions of the loudness to my headaches at the time. As I was making my way through the state of Texas, there were quite a few locations to be able to see such displays along with the Christmas lights throughout the areas along the highways.
Though it was a bit, I wanted and needed to have some Dim Sum from the one company #CrownePalace which I had gone to in #NewJersey as a child and into my early teenager years. Whereas I had completed one set of pictures when at the first location, I was able to complete a video at the second location. I cannot remember the different places in #NewYorkCity in Chinatown which at the time of my childhood being able to go to in Manhattan, as those locations were walked to from my Bok Gung's and Bok Pu's condo. I do remember their particular building was a light sand colored building in almost a triangular shape, though it was fairly close to the #WorldTradeCenter location. That treasure which I was told about and shown when I was a child had a set of protective measures which if only one aspect had been disrupted, there was a protective aspect which had been a way to prevent the wrong hands from getting such.
After my biological parents named my biological sister a different middle name than she was supposed to have, my Bok Gung and my Bok Pu had not allowed her near the room specifically to ensure the safety of because of how the attitude she had when she was a child as she was raised. They knew I had been raised as I was being raised which meant there were certain responsibilities they knew I was to deal with because of other symbolisms and proven measures, which I was told of such would be mine if the way of when my Bok Gung had passed would inevitably be. Then I was told of what I would need to look at, while my maternal Grandfather had discussed other portions of some hardships before the more positive and relaxing for me.
Upon getting to #CrownePalace on 2 January 2021, I was able to pick up the Dim Sum though more specifically I was able to finally enjoy the Hong Kong Royal Octopus and later on 9 January 2021 I was able to get the version of that which I remembered from my childhood. It was fantastic, and I truly enjoyed the food. I recalled the dessert tofu though there was a hold on such, until the opening of the restaurant. However the portions of memories which came forward from my childhood and teenager years from before my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury during Basic Training in the Army branch of the #UnitedStatesofAmerica's #ArmedForces, had been plentiful throughout the time. One particular memory which repeatedly came forward was a discussion with my maternal Grandfather who told me when I was older I would be able to see a wall I would want to hug made of stone which would have stars in my eyes, which was a wall in a building which he was most proud of for being a part of the building and constructing of the design of the group as well as the arrangement of the floors and some architectural portions. I remember him saying "Of all of the buildings, of all of the group works, of all of the meetings, that was my favorite."
I checked into the hotel on 2 January 2021 which the #Hyatt was such a beautiful location and arrangement, though much to my surprise. As many trips as I have gone on during my #MedalofHonorArtProject trips, that was amazing. The staff were kind, and it was extremely new to me. I admit I had convinced the ability to get a timeshare years ago and I chose the #Presidential level which was a conversation I dealt with later, however such being just me and it having been so long since having been in one of the locations; I can only remember bits and pieces, here and there. My main memories of such have to do with my children enjoying themselves with their cousin during the #FloridaFamily trip, and a few other trips here and there. I had to literally stand my ground for such to be, though it was worth it in the long run.
3 January 2021 was a bit of recovery from the length of the drive, though I did have quite a few portions of memories come through in a multitude of ways. I remembered portions of my childhood in New Jersey in regards of certain aspects in which the time I had gone out to the side yard of the house I grew up in which lifting the stone lid to the well surrounded by #LilyoftheValley plants blooming around the base of the well and also along that side of the house while the blue #Hydrangeas were blooming profusely, to look down inside even though previously I dealt with a conversation for moving the lid prior to the time. I remember needing to see as far down as I could before putting the lid back onto the well, before I was caught looking. As my biological father told me 'Those who stick their noses onto the other side of the fence to peek through, tend to get their noses broken.' In reference to certain more recent aspects within the past 10 years since I had gone #SCUBADiving specifically at the USS/USNS #Vandenberg in the #MatthiasAbyss within the outer limits of the #BermudaTriangle in the #Atlantic area of the ocean without giving me the proper credit and recognition, I suppose there is a bit of irony to the statement in regards of the mask situation in a different way.
I had also remembered a situation when I was a teenager in #Illinois which multiple females had told me they had purposefully gotten pregnant in order to keep the relationship they were in to continue during the times they felt it might be over and once the relationship was back on track to what they wanted, they would make an appointment at the clinic for an abortion. I was disgusted by such choices and told those females they should be charged with murder for purposely getting pregnant in order to be able to keep a relationship which in their long run was going to fail as they knew, as I told them "abortion is not a birth control and should only be used for certain reasons such as the product of rape and/or if one or both are going to die if the pregnancy continues, if there is not a disease which would be passed along to the baby which has no cure." I was told I was overreacting however one particular female named Katy Airdo (?spelling? of the last name) had told me she had done so to her boyfriend Tommy who worked at #CubFoods while she worked at #Petsmart or #Petco, of her thoughts of 'it not being that big of a deal.' When I told her as well as other females "You do not understand what you are doing not only to yourselves, but also to the males you claim to care about"; I was told I 'didn't know what {I} was talking about' and/or 'they'd get over it quickly', which I knew the truth about the situation more-so. I had doubted there were males who would not feel the loss if such was done in that sort of way, and the feeling within them would be far more impactful than those females realized; however I believe there are several males, who know and understand what I referred to back then when I was a teenager.
Admittedly I wish I was wrong about that back then however I have a feeling I was more accurate than I had realized, in reference to the feelings of the males as well as the damages done to those females' bodies in both the short and the long term. I remembered when on my trip the time I was in #Virginia of those particular specifics while also remembering the discussion points in conjunction with telling the females about a doctor many moons before who had cut off a tail of a mouse to breed and re-breed with other mice to see if the mouse species would ever be born without a tail prior to the genetic portions, and each female asked me 'what does that mean' while a few asked me "why do you bring that up"; of which I explained "In some ways there are certain aspects which if the human body goes through multiple generations in a row unlike the mouse who needed the genetic changes for the lack of a tail, the human body would develop to accommodate such portions of such permanent alterations."
Thus if in addition to certain medications and/or other aspects of life in regards of the current time and infertility in females as well as males if your mother and/or grandmother and/or aunts and/or etcetera repeatedly in the generations from the time of abortions beginning in a larger way through such measures like and similar to #PlannedParenthood continued onward, there might be some form of truth to be found not only in the regards of infertility though also in reference to genetic difficulties. Whereas certain countries have waited until after the birth which is still and more-so considered as actual murder (of innocence), even those countries have learned and seen the long term effects of such choices in a different way in regards of the population aspects of the pure bloods and/or even the more common-ish of the half-bloods or hybrids.
4-5 January 2021 I had gone to drive around the area of #WashingtonDC to be able to get to know the area a little bit better to be able to see where I could go to park the car, though also to sing the National Anthem of the #StarSpangledBanner at the location point where it is reported to have first been sung; at 1535 7th Street Northwest Washington DC. It was a bit of a difficulty making my way around the capital of the United States of America, though it was wonderful to see the buildings and the architecture throughout the various locations. I was in awe of the sights as well as the history throughout the area aside from the signs seen, in conjunction with the vast number of people walking around as they were. I had attempted to go to the Space Center and by technicalities I was able to go to the building, however the ability to walk around inside compared to driving around the building was not what I wanted; though much construction was occurring, and additional irony is some of the construction signs I saw then had been similar to the construction signs I saw when I was in Medical Hold Unit during the time when I had gone to the old #BAMC building and that situation.
I sang the National Anthem at the water area near the #ReaganAirport where the walkways were after climbing down the rocks to stand, and it was interesting to watch the still waters begin to move with the sound of my voice; which admittedly I thought at the first glance I was simply seeing things, though after completing such a few times over the week there I had seen the water do such multiple times and in different ways. The particular area has a bit of a lull in the water because of the lack of a current in the location as it is almost like a spillway, thus the knowledge of the little bit of movement on the surface only during larger winds with storms; in comparison to the amount of airplanes that fly overhead each day, which did not move the water in comparison to the few times I had gone out to the area throughout the rest of my time during my trip.
As I had remembered multiple details of the events of 11 September 2001 in reference to what I personally had done and who I spoke with, I felt the need to drive around as well to see certain locations and buildings. A bit of my heart sunk when being able to see the #Pentagon for the first time in person-ish as I was in my car, while also feeling a sense of joy for the amount of those who were able to survive in the area of the Pentagon as well as throughout the local area. Due to how I pick on things I was only able to push away the pain in my hands for so long, as the time had been extensive for many. I have a tattoo in each of my palms and a set of tattoos on the tops of my hands which differ though have similar purposes in reference to memories as well as in reference to spiritual aspects of which in the central portion of both of my palms the area covered could hypothetically be compared to the head of a nail in the older days, and the central specific smaller point could be hypothetically compared to the location which the spike for each hand had gone through in a metaphorical sort of way. My ankle tattoos are at points which could be compared to the angle of which spikes were sent through in those same olden days because of the feet back then being known to not support the weight the same way in a hypothetical metaphorical way to however you choose to review such points in the modern timeframe for older reference points pun intended, in regards of spiritual regards of stories told to those who went to church and/or ever studied the history of the older biblical scriptures compared to modern times.
6 January 2021 I had woken up later than I wanted to and rushed to prepare myself for the day's event, hoping I would be able to last longer than one hour as that was the first time I had ever been in such a large crowd gathering for one purpose in reference to the election results. I had wanted to go to the rallies I had heard about and seen for the current President of the United States of America #POTUS #DonaldJTrump throughout the 2015 and 2016 timeframes, though I knew it would be too much for me to handle especially since indoors during those times and limited ability to walk around in comparison to the #Ellipse #PresidentialPark on that day of 6 January 2021. I knew back then he and his administration would accomplish much more than some would have ever guessed could occur, though as I saw and heard about; I knew I was not the only one, though I may have been one of the firsts who acknowledged such quickly. While he accomplished more in his first two years of the four years and even more-so as time continued onward, the amount he and his administration had been able to achieve of lists is lengthy and extensive. Despite the shorter attention span of some with the amount of attachment to technology instant gratification and watching multiple different portions of information, such attention spans cannot truthfully deny the amount of work he and his administration had completed as well as laid the foundation for multiple aspects for the near future as well as the long term future of the country of the United States of America and the world with America's place permanently within.
I know he and his administrations legacy will last far longer than most might want to admit currently, though in the centuries from now the realities of such will continue on. Just as #General and President of the United States of America #POTUSGeorgeWashington with his administration is still researched, written about, and discussed; so too shall President of the United States of America Donald J. Trump and his administration, with Vice President of the United States of America #VPOTUS #MikePence. Not only will there be more available in comparison to the times of President George Washington, however also there will be more in reference to the Vice President of the United States of America Mike Pence and the roles of which the Vice President have been a part of; which will be researched more-so for not only in regards of Mike Pence though also prior Vice Presidents of the United States of America and the credits which are due for such. Since much is usually paid attention to in regards of the President of the United States of America, this is the point which many more will be looked to for what they have done; including in reference to the First and Second Ladies of the United States of America, as well as the First and Second Families of the United States of America. Instead of only one individual being looked at and looked into in a larger way, more will be known about the different portions of the work such takes as well as what has been needed to be done for the progress forward in a multitude of ways.
Thus such complaints over the years will be looked at differently, as well as reviewed in lengthier portions for a clearer understanding of how the government genuinely is and works. The same for the #SupremeCourt, #Senate, #Congress, and so on and so forth though in different ways of course comparatively. The denial some have had about how certain portions are will no longer be denied, and the realities thereof shall be understood in more of the details better in order for growth in a positive portion while not being able to deny the specific details of the nitty gritty. After getting ready to go, I went along my way and sang the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner at the water area again in sort of a rallying aspect hoping for a positive outcome in the short and the long term. I then went along my way to the capital and did what I could to find parking, accidentally upsetting a police officer when turning in one direction and explaining myself as he approached the car. Once the situation was cleared up I found a parking garage to go to, and then began walking with a few lovely females and meeting up with the group of patriots who were walking in the same pathways towards the event. I stopped at the #DaughtersoftheAmericanRevolution to sing the National Anthem as well as #AmericatheBeautiful, before proceeding towards the event area which you can read and/or re-read clicking here for the link.
Returning to the hotel afterwards and having dinner with a group of patriots was enjoyable, and speaking about different aspects of life experiences was positive and encouraging in a multitude of ways. Hearing of the different experiences and progress made in different aspects of their lives was wonderful, and sharing the experiences was plentiful around the hotel dining area. Then spending time in the smoking section with additional groups of patriots was fun and interesting as well, with the ability to listen to the multiple aspects of forward movement in many lives was quite pleasant. There was a point which the aspects of the breaking into the building were discussed and shortly afterwards there was a #CapitalPolice car which showed up, though no problems were detected in reference to those I was speaking with as the individuals did as they needed. I went to my room later on to get some rest, for the following days were going to be plentiful in reference to energetic portions as I had felt.
7 January 2021 I rested a bit as the ability to last longer at the capital as well as going to the #MarineCorpsMuseum in the #Triangle are near the #Quantico region was a lot for me to handle, in a multitude of ways on 6 January 2021. Though I was unable to go inside of the building the energies felt when simply walking around the grounds was felt heavily and when singing the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner twice in the area I found along the pathway near the chapel area, the tattoos in my other hand pierced through immensely though I pushed onward. Since I cannot see videos the same way as before my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury, I did what I could to maintain my composure in reference to what I had felt from those stones; especially since a group of my Medal of Honor historical and spiritual rubbings were nearby, and the thoughts which flowed through my mind as when walking and singing had permeated through heavily.
I admit, I dealt with quite a few additional thoughts and memories throughout the time. I remembered a few elder individuals from New Jersey who had attended the church I grew up attending called #OldTennentPresbyterianChurch, which I remember one male named Ernie MacenErnie and some of the military regalia for the Armed Forces of the United States of America as well as others such as Mr. and Mrs. Nelson from the church with their two daughters and some times at their house with their #GermanShepherd dog as well as their #Greyhound. In combination of the memories from different military regalia as well as the people, I remember being enthralled playing fetch with the German Shepherd while the Greyhound had remained close by wherever I walked around almost ready to run and play. I remembered Christy Szabowsik (?spelling? last name) and her sisters and mom, as well as a few discussions had during my teenage years. I recalled the times of going to the Hughes' house and seeing the upstairs rooms when spending time with Laura as Amy did her work on her computer and/or prepared for field hockey practices, as Sarah had read books in her room while Phillip was out with the portions of the work in reference to the military for the United States of America's Armed Forces. I remember Mr. Hughes discussing certain portions of the computer system he was working on, while remembering the snacks Mrs. Hughes had been in the kitchen preparing for all of the children running around the house and the yard.
I remembered Adam Leggio and his mom working in the cafeteria during lunch, and speaking with her randomly whether at their house and/or in the cafeteria. I remembered Adam preparing for football practices as his sister was in college, and the discussions at some points we had. I remembered Ronny Dawson and some events in reference to the neighborhood as well as Valerie Hom after she and her family had moved into the new subdivision, as well as remembering Timothy Doody and his mom Burnadette with his older sister Suzanne in college randomly returning home; as well as Skip working with my biological father on the building of the garage with the shed attached, in the backyard of the house I grew up in. I remembered the ritual I had created and the seven days of each evening completing the ritual just a few minutes prior to midnight, as well as the meditation points thereof and what I saw in greater details in combination of looking for ways to better the situations I saw in comparison to what seemed inevitable. In such, the only way I had seen in full which worked out for the best interest overall for the most amount of people throughout the world; had been the path I had chosen, though I was only able to see to one final point. The furthering of such was after I woke up from the coma from my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury in different ways, though fully has yet to be in regards of those other portions thereof; especially in consideration of the regards of old BAMC, and what occurred there. That aspect was what it was, and is what it is.
Towards the end of the day of 7 January 2021 I met up with Rebecca Kam Savage and we went around the Washington DC area, as there was a bit of a rukus in the area close by her and others' hotel in the region. After driving around and talking for a bit I went inside the hotel and met with a group of fantastic females, and was able to spend some time with them and listening as well as speaking. When it was time for me to get back to my hotel in Virginia, I figured my way out from the parking garage to get there for a bit of rest. The time was quite enjoyable, and extremely pleasant.
8 January 2021 I had gone out to the #GeorgeWashingtonMasonMuseum after dropping off some laundry which was taken care of quickly at #DukesCleaners, which I had to smile about not only because of the ability to get such done; though also smile in reference to memories of spending time with my babysitter's husband's dog named Duke a silver #Weimaraner, Chico the #AfricanGrey, and Major the green multicolor #McCaw while remembering portions of time spent with David and Liza as well as the child next door which I had spent a large amount of time with when there on the other side of the fence named Damien. Before as well as during the times of hanging out with Timothy Doody and Christopher Angarone as well as Mrs. Angarone, Damien and I had spent a lot of time together during the times after elementary school as he went to one location in the same parking lot as the elementary school I went to at #AsherHolmes. Though Damien had been in a car accident with his father during a winter storm and later passed away, those memories from those times returned in a more full way compared to when earlier. I also remembered spending time with Nora's twin sons with Timothy and telling them we needed to work together to make a whirlpool in the aboveground pool in Sony/Sonja's and Joe/Jose's backyard as I wanted to see how fast we could go to get the water to move the way I wanted.
Initially the three others were hesitant though when they wanted to prove me wrong in reference to it taking a certain number of times swimming together to go around the exterior portion of the pool, it was I who was proven correct. I swam around merrily in the water after helping them get out, and made waves which had Alexander and Alejandro look at me wondering how I could be so happy making the miniature version of the ocean in the pool area. I remembered Joe coming back to the house from work that day from the World Trade Center 70+ floor level to rush up to the deck to see what I was doing as Duke was laying on the deck calming watching, as Joe/Jose yelled "Susana! Ay Dios, mio! Susanna!" I remember a long discussion afterwards to the length of time which everyone else had left as they were picked up or taken home by their parents, and once they were gone the discussion points changed and the questions began; which then Sony/Sonja made her rice pudding which I have not been able to find the exact taste with the exact consistency since then though have found some tasty versions of, as I sat with the two of them and answered many questions. Just before I was picked up by my biological mother that day, I remember being told similar portions to what my maternal Grandfather had told me as well as my Bok Gung and my Bok Pu had told me in reference to several portions.
To write or say there were a lot of memories which returned and flowed through my thoughts over this timeframe in Virginia and Washington DC, is putting such mildly. The portions are only a few in comparison to the fuller amounts, in many ways. Though that building with a wall of stone which I am going to want to hug which will have stars in my eyes, has been a repeated portion of which the time of my main focus has been comparatively in certain ways. Nonetheless I was not able to go inside for the full tour of the museum dedicated for George Washington, though I did at minimum get the ability to see the stone works and paintings on the ceilings as well as the grounds surrounding the area with several geese nearby. I then went to the #SvpremeMasonScottishRiteLibrary location and took several pictures and images before and after speaking with a kind couple I had met on the stairs, and listening to how they met and where they were at in their lives. At the latter portion of this journal blog entry I will have some of the pictures, I had taken during my time there. Later I picked up as I needed to, and returned to my hotel room to relax and rest. The next journal blog entry I complete, will be about the #Georgia #GuideStones. However below are some of the pictures I had taken when at the Svpreme Mason Scottish Rite Library, in Washington DC.
As you can see there are multiple hidden engravings throughout the open areas of the temple sculptures and stone works, though I did add my name to the pictures I took because of knowing I have the right to claim what is mine and what I did. In such prior pictures I took without my name on are still what I did, and deserve more than just my name attached to such on the pictures which deserve more recognition for the realities of what I have completed/done/accomplished in the ways which would be considered as groundbreaking; because such portions are realistically, as well as level up portions. For example that set of SCUBA Dives as well as the depth levels I alone achieved in combination with my SCUBA Dive certification I earned should be brought forward to more public views and discussions in full, in my opinion. Possibly there are a few others, who could agree and may have been awaiting for the moment such as this for.
Having seen the number of #NationalGuard soldiers arrive was a highlight for me on 9 January 2021 before going to pick up a little bit more Dim Sum from #CrownePalace, and being able to speak with a few before going out as well as while in the smoking section to then see a different capital police officer with his vehicle in the area was a pleasant sight for me. The day I had packed my car to leave to go the the #GeorgiaGuidestones in #Ellerton #Georgia I was able to speak with a few more National Guard soldiers and enjoy the discussion, prior to getting on the road to pick up some honey and then visit the location on 10 January 2021. I was able to complete a quick video at the second Crowne Palace location, when I was waiting for the Hong Kong Royal Octopi to finish being prepared for me.
