September 27th, 2026: The Lord’s day today, I woke up quite early and got dressed for church after coffee and took the bus down. I got in and sat near the back, the Kenoshan ended up sitting next to me while the Omahan was sitting in the row behind me. Assisting the priest but not as a regular acolyte was Hezekiah and another man. The homily was on theology mostly and I went up for the eucharist as usual. I prayed a little bit before leaving and went to the Omahan to ask:
“Do you know where they keep the fliers for the events?”
He said no but that I could just print it out, I just walked to the bus stop and took it home. I got back and had more ramen for lunch while I decided to have my desktop playing the C# tutorial while I followed along on my laptop, I’d say that this approach was much faster and worked out well for me, I got in roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes of study time today. It was posted that Table #2’s 28th birthday is today (just that it’s today, I remembered her age), at 1:52pm, Catejean messaged the groupchat:
<Can someone explain to me how the courting process is different from dating?
I was about to reply some smartass thing when a minute later, Bonaventure got so leaky he messaged me:
<dont
In straight up real womancase. I took his advice. I sipped on a little more of the cherry mead for a while as I studied and then got dinner with the last of the eggs for scrambled eggs. I inhaled the food and then got re-dressed for ushering tonight, I left at 6:03pm and I started day 7 of my 40 day rosary novena for life with the sorrowful mysteries at 6:04pm and completed it at 6:23pm while walking back from my rosary walk to the church to usher. I got in and saw Joseph with this other lady who would usher with me. Lucas was on break for ushering today. I handed out the fliers and saw a few more people come in including Cognac, Raphael, and this guy whom I will be calling Kagame, because he looked like the current president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, he’s arguably homeless and brought in a backpack but never gave me any trouble, the eucharistic minister today was this woman with female pattern baldness, tattoos, and her son who was the altarboy. The mass went as normal for most of it with the Indian with good hair, but the homily was just straight up bad, it was this generic pro-immigrant bullshit saying you’re hecking against Jesus Christ if you want less immigrants in the country, the priest said that he used to feel anger towards other Muslims and Hindus growing up in India because they dressed differently before realizing that everybody was made in this Latin “word”: “imago dei” (That’s 2 words), when he moved to the United States in 2010, he said he never really encountered racism but I attribute it to his hair being so good that most racists aren’t focusing on his skin color. When we were collecting the money, I noticed Cognac looked a bit angry at me The prayer afterwards for consecration was something that might have been Arabic and hopefully not an Islamic prayer. But luckily I went up as I was in the priest's line and Kagame stepped behind me while switching lines, I thought nothing of it and after I got to the end to grab the news bulletins for distribution. He came back and told me:
“You stepped in front of me in line.”
I just told him:
“No I did not, you stepped behind me.”
He got angrier and told me once again that I stepped in front of him. I just walked away to my paper distribution spot and he followed me and the chimpout continued:
“Don’t you ever disrespect me like that!”
He said, there were 3 Knights of Columbus men at a table across the door and they made me feel safe talking to this freak.
“I did not, you stepped behind me.”
“Don’t you disrespect me like that in a house of God!”
“I didn’t cut you off.”
“Nuh uh, don’t disrespect me like that in a house of God!”
I could see the metal fillings for his cavities in his mouth.
“You are the one being disrespectful to God.”
“You shut up or I’m gonna punch you!”
I stopped and he went back to his pew, I went over to Lucas and told him about the incident and asked one of the KofC guys if he heard anything but he didn’t. Lucas had me move to the other door to distribute news bulletins for safety and I noticed Cognac leave early but Kagame took forever getting out of his pew and the Indian priest invited him to the cafe event downstairs afterwards. I talked with Joseph during it and agreed to dinner next Friday. I told this couple about the incident while ushering and they were shocked, I saw Lucas talking with Kagame and the issue but they shook hands afterwards. I walked home and then brushed my teeth with the special toothpaste before going to shower. I started day 54 of my 54 day rosary novena with the final glorious mysteries at 11:05pm and completed it at 11:28pm, yet I was still awake.

I saw Lucas talking with Kagame and the issue but they shook hands afterwards.

Lucas is insane. I wouldn’t want to get anywhere near a bum like that, let alone touch their hand

There's a reason why I don't go to that theologically weak church usually and only go whenever I'm signed up to usher.

September 28th, 2026: I was still up after 12:00am on my phone, I saw this note a former German classmate posted some note and I generically replied at 12:36am with:
>Bruh
She replied and started this conversation:
<gemerson wtf
<how r u?
>Alive
>Jobless
<real
<i have 3 jobs
<but i’m drunk af on a sunday
>Howww
>Bruh, I almost got into a fight today.
>Have you tried mead?
<gemerson ur an anomaly fr
<my roommate went to ur high school
>Yeah.
>I know she lives near where I do now.
>Many people say I’m an anomaly.
<u should come to our next house party king
I went to sleep at that point…
I woke up early and messaged her at 6:25am:
>Yes, when?
No response, I got up and out of bed for cereal and coffee. I went to my room to browse KiwiFarms more. I posted an article with lots of archives about Donald Trump planning to open a $15 billion steel mill in Iowa run by Mesabi Metallics based in Nashwauk, Minnesota but run by Indians. I then switched over to studying C# after I got through roughly two hours of tutorials and skipped through roughly 30 minutes of stuff about debugging because they were using VS and I was using VS Code. I had just under an hour left of studying to do so I got off and sipped a bit of mead. On Instagram, Hannah posted about a Taizé event going on at her college at 7:30pm. I got dressed up for that but got distracted making mac and cheese for dinner and then I realized it was 6:40pm and so I got to the bus stop late, with it arriving at 7:01pm. I started day 8 of my 40 day rosary for life at 6:56pm and completed it at 7:19pm while on the bus, which dropped me off at 7:28pm, I ran to the chapel where I thought it would be held but said chapel was locked, I rechecked what Hannah posted and went to the other chapel and I was 2 minutes late. They were sitting down and some people sitting on cushions on the ground were making weird, –possibly heretical– motions, turns out to be ASL. I saw this one fat girl look at me a bit and there was more silence in between the songs than at usual Eucharistic adoration, also a lot of the songs involved lots of repetition of what was sung over and over. I went out and saw some Muslims getting out of the nearby “interfaith” prayer room conveniently next to the chapel in the building. When it ended at 8:30pm. Hannah finally noticed that I was there and was happy. I talked with her outside of the chapel and told her about the speech tomorrow. She said she might come and I knew she was trying to think up an excuse not to go, and she went with a dance rehearsal. I got on the bus back home and then walked a distance to get to my apartment. In the GroupMe chat, someone was advertising this dating event to take place next October 30th at an undetermined location yet. I took a shower then went to sleep.

September 29th, 2026: Michaelmas today, I woke up and had cereal and later coffee before getting on the computer to play some Holdfast and write a bit more in my blog, I watched some more YouTube as I had some cherry mead and probably a bit too much of that. I had two cups of ramen for lunch as I didn’t want to feel hungry while studying the last of the 8 hour course on C#, I completed it while a little bit drunk and then continued with writing a bit. I started getting dressed up real fancy for the speech. I later took this advanced 240 question political test and here are my results:



I got my grey pants with a grey blazer, my white button-down and the yellow elephant tie, Waleran was outside my room on the ground browsing TikTok while his computer was on the ground. I got out and on the crowded bus when I got off and in the church at 6:35pm, at the entrance was Cognac setting up for the book sale afterwards. I sat near the front and I noticed that almost nobody sat near me, even when I tried to get the Omahan, but this one woman with her mother sat at the end of my pew. I started to record the speech by Father Ironside when it started at 7:00pm but when I tried transcribing it later, the audio was of extremely low quality such that it did not work, but I will recall it from memory. It started off discussing Saint Thomas Aquinas and how he addressed the nature of angels, relying on the works of Pseudo-Dionysus the Areopagite. Father Ironside detailed how angels have no emotions, no physical bodies, no senses, serve the will of God, and there is one guardian angel (in the lowest of the 9 levels of the angelic hierarchy) for everybody that will be born and their goal is to help their human get to heaven, priests get 2 guardian angels and bishops get a third one from the level above. As angels exist in heaven, they manipulate events from the comfort of there, but demons have the same hierarchy yet inverted. When talking about Aristotelian metaphysics, he joked about being bald. Father Ironside recommended to us that we start a personal devotion to our guardian angel to strengthen the “voice of reason” in our head. Once the speech was done, people got up and then went out for the booksale. There were some people before me who got in the way of me trying to ask him a question. When I finally got to talk to Father Ironside, I asked him this question:
“Do you know what happens to guardian angels when the person they watch over dies?”
He replied to me:
“They spend time in heaven with their human.”
I replied:
“But what if their assigned human doesn’t go to heaven?””
He replied laughing a bit:
“They’ll be in heaven alone.”
I noticed that Salignac was just behind Father Ironside so I left, but the bus was so late so I just walked around, encountering a Mexican chain grocery store where I bought drink mix and a bag of green apples for just under $10. There was a huge debate in this groupchat between a lot of people like Cliffe, Gerrardo, Zhao, and some others over church politics that I transcribed below:

[POST SPLIT IN HALF DUE TO CHARACTER LIMIT]

 

[GemersonLakeAndPalmer]

September 29th, 2026 (Continued):
<It is great to see, but it is also super sad that he praised the French Revolution motto of Liberty, equality, and Fraternity. This is his direct quote “liberty, equality and fraternity are not simply words emblazoned on the front of your public buildings; they refer to universal ethical imperatives that also find in the Gospel message an inexhaustible source of inspiration and fulfillment." The French Revolution was led by Freemasons and was a Catholic genocide. The motto of the French Revolution has been condemned by Popes in the past. You must ask is it a true revival to tradition and the Catholic Church, or is it people following corrupt ideas and theology. I am not saying everything he said in France was bad, but this is really disheartening to see. We must pray for Pope Leo to uphold the Catholic faith and not make it softer to try to “connect” with other religions or ideologies. - Guy 1
<The Pope needs not be a worker of miracles or preternatural phenomena - just be a Holy Father to the Church. That means teaching Catholic doctrine, condemning error and heresy, ministering to the Faithful, leading them to Heaven, being an example of virtue, and cleansing corruption in the ecclesiarchy, not becoming a popular celebrity who people love to listen to. Matthew 7:21-23 - Zhao
<Sounds like a great quote from Pope Leo XIV. The pope has a title, “pontifex” meaning bridge builder. He is building a bridge between where people are at to the fulfillment of all good things in Christ. Liberty, equality and fraternity. These things they seek are in fact good things. Good things can become idols if placed before God. That is what happened in the French Revolution and many other revolutions that have tried to destroy the church. These values when imposed apart from Christ will never be able to be fulfilled as He is the source of all good. Guy 1 you missed out on our discussions but this was a central theme of the first two. Can we take good things and build off of them that are found in other religions or philosophies? The church for her whole history has done so. If you would like to discuss this more I would love to talk as this is central to our evangelizing mission. If the good that people seek cannot be used to point them to Christ, most people will not convert. - Cliffe
<If we as Catholics condemn the good things of other religions and philosophies instead of building bridges, not only will it be difficult for people to convert, but they will start to see the church as an institution that is actively working against the good. We are for the good, but a rightly ordered good. Let’s not tear down like the evangelicals but build up in Christ. - Cliffe
<Blessed be missionary evangelists! - Clyde
<I found that tearing other people's religions down is extremely ineffective as it causes hostility and is a very ineffective way to evangelize to people to convert to our faith we can't talk to non Catholics and fallen away Catholics like we do with fellow practicing Catholics and even with our own we can't be yelling and acting like a complete jerk we must be kind, respectful, and gentle with others never aggressive when trying to evangelize yo others - Gerrardo
<That is clearly not the implication, and the mental gymnastics necessary to reach anything resembling Catholic doctrine is far too much to resemble logic. Equality is antithetical to both the Faith and nature itself (God above men, Saints and Angels above Man on earth, clerics above laity, kings over subjects, parents over children). Fraternity - the idea that we are all brethren as mankind - is false, as we are baptized as sons and daughters of God, not remaining dead in original sin as Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve. - Zhao
<Perhaps liberty could be understood in the traditional sense *if explicitly defined that way* - otherwise in this era, and especially when associated with the other two words of the Treason against Christendom, the definition used is that of liberalism - freedom to sin, as long as it doesn’t “violate the dignity of man” (or even when it does). - Zhao
<Freemasonry was founded with the explicit intent of opposing the Catholic Church, which they continue to do to this day by destroying Her from within. To defend it or compromise with it is not charity, but treason and blasphemy. - Zhao
<Freemasons are automatically excommunicated from the Catholic Church. I don’t think there is much common ground with them. - Guy 1
<This is a bad argument. - Guy 9
<How so? - Guy 1
<Even though yes we are banned from joining freemasons they do charity work and that's something we can find common ground on - Gerrardo
<One can use equivocation in order to bring someone to the truth. St. Athanasius says that one can use their misunderstanding in order to pull out a more true meaning to their words. St. Basil the Great makes reference to that in his book the Use of Pagan Literature by Young Men. The pagan gods are said to do all kinds of evil and debauched things in the dramas of the playwrights (including the gross things in Homer), but there is still virtue presented in Homer and others. A Christian must not be naive in their use, but they can still use those things to pull out and inspire virtue. Pope Leo is clearly not talking about the original French Revolution (that has been overturned and France is currently in its Fifth Republic). The French that I know do not mean the same thing by those words as the revolutionaries in 1789. The pope is clearly not speaking univocally. - Jeremiah
<I don’t believe these things are a stretch if we are clear in the way we are talking about equality and fraternity. We average faithful, priests, and saints are all equal in dignity, yet vary by office and spiritual glory. It is not a stretch to say “equality” with regards to dignity. Fraternity too is elevated in sacramental fraternity, unique to the members of the Church, but all mankind is joined by creatorial fraternity. See the excerpt from the catechism below - Guy 10
<And* to* - Gerrardo
<Not to change topics, but is anyone absolutely nauseous after the Trump/AI Leaders presser outside the WH this evening? - Guy 11
<I talked with a French person recently and they thought it was a good thing. Their minds aren’t changed. Those words mean the same thing and people know it. Again if you have to do mental gymnastics to try to prove that something isn’t a scandal, that is not good for the Catholic faith. The Catholic faith is the truth. The French motto of liberty and equality the way it was meant to be during the French revolution is clearly seen in our culture today abundantly. - Guy 1
I got to my bus stop and waited to get on and then took it home. I started day 9 of my 40 day rosary for life at 10:50pm and completed it at 11:14pm, I did a 6th decade and each prayer was accompanied with something I thought needed prayer.

September 30th, 2026: Studying, lots of it today, I woke up and had cereal before some coffee and brushed my teeth, I got on the computer to play a round of Holdfast where this guy on our team kept raging out and it was just so funny, I quit halfway through the next round and then got on to finishing up with relearning classes and object oriented programming, it took less than an hour of that before I was done. My roommate Waleran was off studying on campus and I then switched to studying stuff like. I got on transcribing my blog to the google docs and got up to May 31st, 2026 on both websites in 2 hours. I had cupped ramen for lunch and then got back to studying, I had ChatGPT write me a study guide and I focused on writing out a page of that, as this was the first Wednesday in a long time I had free. I did a load of laundry and folded half of it. I cooked a package of 5 shitoko sausages for dinner and ate 3 of them while saving the other 2 as leftovers. I got dressed for Eucharistic adoration then I paid for my $547.50 of the rent plus more money for other utilities. I started day 10 of my 40 day rosary at 6:20pm while praying at the bus stop, I got off praying it then into the church and completed it at 6:44pm. I stood in line for confession until adoration started and I was the first one in. I confessed to having spiritual dryness, being tempted by lust, holding hate in my heart, and being very paranoid. I was told to pray the litany of trust as a penance and went back to where I put my stuff to see that Lewis was sitting very close to me, I waved hi to him, prayed the litany, and then got back to reading from The Confessions by Saint Augustine. I saw Rita in front of me and Melany was doing the readings, I spotted more people there including Teddy, Elkanah, Maaenboodhoo, Kong, Karelusa, and a few others. Quinci came in near the end of Eucharistic adoration and sat in the pew behind me. When I went to the bathroom downstairs, I spotted a book on the paper towel dispenser which I guess is a bible so I just left it and the guy next to me was Cognac, we didn’t speak nor did I see him after that. Father Malachi was back despite being gone for 4 weeks, sort of like I was, and this old woman sat next to Rita and they got closer, pretty sure she’s Rita’s mom. There was a bar social going on afterwards and I walked over, arriving at the same time as Karelusa, Maaenboodhoo, and Kong. I got in and waited to order a grasshopper as a drink but the bartender told me the blender’s broke so I just ordered an apple cider while Maaenboodhoo and Kong ordered IPAs, Maaenboodhoo brought me over to this group of women he was talking to but I didn’t really get along yet because I didn’t have enough cider in me before it broke into two groups and Kong talked with two of the women. Melany and Rita came over and I waved to them before talking a bit with just Rita, I talked mostly with her and there was this other 42 year old guy she was talking with complaining about life or whatever, but I offhandedly mentioned to Rita I thought she was still in college because she was old enough to drink, she told me she never even went to college and asked me to guess how old she was and the correct answer is 23. But on November 16th, Rita turns 24 so I have that to look forward to. I had my copy of The Confessions in my grey blazer resting on my hip conveniently with no pockets, I went to a table and it fell out. Rita found it absolutely hilarious that I just happened to be carrying a book that large in my pockets. I went over to talk with a friend of Maaenboodhoo who currently is a security officer wanting to be a ticketing officer and has an interview coming up for that. I talked with Karelusa and Kong were talking about dating. Karelusa mentioned that he’s going on a date soon with Yor, also mentioning that back when he had a CatholicMatch account he said he got 40+ matches and when someone reviewed it for a viral thing, he got a 7/10 but the guy’s girlfriend said it should be a 9/10 instead. Something that I wouldn’t rate 7/10 or 9/10 is Karelusa mentioning going on a date with a woman down in Miami, Florida, and the Cabo Verde vs Argentina game for the FIFA world cup was going on (So July 3rd, 2026) and he was so focused on it that he started flirting with the waitress. Kong mentioned that he’s been on a few dates where he was just used as a free meal but he’s going on a date soon. Soon Melany and Rita said they had to leave so I asked for Rita’s number, Rita said I already had her number but I forgot her name and I couldn’t check if I did so she just said she’d have Melany text me it. A little bit later I started walking home but got stridemogged by Karelusa. I finally got back to my humble abode and took a shower before heading to sleep with my alarm set early.

October 1st, 2026: My interview today. I set my alarm for 6:30am and only woke up at 7:30am and had cereal with coffee. I got on the computer and got my journal out to start writing down a preselected list of questions and answers that I’d need to memorize for the interview, as I heard it was an hour so I assumed it’s a full hour. I used my blue pen to fill out 4 pages of materials on stuff like black box testing, monkey testing vs gorilla testing, functional vs non functional testing, Selenium, Playwright, REST Assured, alpha testing, beta testing, SQL, and all that other stuff. At 8:38am, Maaenboodhoo messaged me about a software job at his company with the messages:
<May be a good fit for you too
<Apply today before or after the interview
I applied to the job with a custom resume. I got distracted a few times but got back on track quickly. I talked with a few women I met on dating apps before making my bed, setting up my laptop for the interview, which started at 1:01pm, I got on with an ethnic guy wearing a nice dress. The interview started off with some basic questions and then more stuff about my senior capstone project, there were a few times where he didn’t look amused but I squeezed out some answers before the call ended at 1:35pm and he mentioned that another manager was absent. I wrote the first lady an email at 1:39pm:
>I just wanted to thank [interviewer] for taking the time out of his day to interview me for the role of software development engineer, as I do not have [interviewer]'s email address, I hope that you can send this thank you along to him.
I got an email from the lady at 1:41pm with:
<Done Thanks!
and then one more at 1:48pm with:
<Hi Gemerson, [interviewer] would like you to move to the final interview phase to meet with [Indian name] who is the Manager - Software Quality Assurance. What is your availability for another one-hour video call?
I said next week and thus got an interview set up on Tuesday at 1:00pm, I got off and started writing my blog post, I got a text later from Josippon that he had two frames of me ready from the color test footage that he took:


I loved it. I did dishes until the drying rack was full. I heard of this event going on at 7:00pm which marked the start of these three days leading up to Saint Francis of Assisi’s feast day which would mark 800 years since he died on October 4th (He actually died on October 3rd), I thought about making myself the remaining sausage for dinner but after microwaving them, I remembered I wanted to celebrate by going out to eat so I first tried doing the dishes, starting with putting away the dry dishes but I cut my finger on a cleaver so I put an end to that as I didn’t want to get blood everywhere, I got into my room and played a round of Holdfast. I took my shower and then I started day 11 of my 40 day rosary at 10:19pm with the sorrowful mysteries and completed it at 10:42pm then got ready for bed.

October 2nd, 2026: More stuff to do today, I woke up and charged my phone for a while but didn’t have breakfast until I got on the bus, while waiting the woman from German class I talked to was there but I didn’t talk to her until after I got on the bus and stood up to get off, she was heading to work for the city while I was just getting breakfast. When I got to the spot, I saw a homeless Black guy yelling at people outside the diner but I got in and bought this 2 pancake, 2 eggs sunny side up, and some bacon combo plus a cup of orange juice (no caffeine allowed before blood donation). I paid before I got my meal and witnesses an incident where this doordasher who didn’t speak English tried to communicate to pick up the order he was to deliver. I loved the food I got and heard this Black guy talk to the staff about applying, but they told him it would take a week to hear back. I went out and walked to the blood drive spot with a lot of detouring as I had 2 hours to get there. I spotted this gigantic concrete holder for some liquid that was wearing away and I needed to take a picture:

I walked to the campus the blood donation center was next to and sat in the main building to cool down a bit and drink more water. I felt extremely out of place due to recently graduating and was scared someone like Hannah would spot me there. I finally arrived to the 12:30pm appointment at 12:00pm and got seated, we did the hemoglobin test earlier than the last time, B K, the guy in charge of doing the medical interview stuff, talked with me and had to do 3 blood wipes to get blood for the iron test which I didn’t faint at. B K told me he’s doing his sophomore year at Brigham Young University remotely because he doesn’t like living in Utah and he has “many” sisters. For the heartbeat check, they measured first at 121 bpm so B K had me relax for 5 minutes as this was over 120, I got 89 bpm after 5 minutes, for blood pressure I got 99/63, for temperature: 98.0°F, and for hemoglobin: 15.5. I got out and got my left arm wiped down with iodine and then the blood donation started:

I was feeling like fainting but powered through and then got a can of coca cola to help, I got up and stocked up on snacks while this cheap TV show was playing about a dog and a group of 3 robbers trying to steal a diamond (one of them played by Vincent Pastore) and another robber knocks out an elderly Asian guy, then another who gets the diamond gets chased by a kid’s toy helicopter. I then walked to the bus stop with food when Melany sent a message in a groupchat asking for a charger for a person, I agreed to give it to them. An old Black guy sat next to me and showed me to receipts and then said:
“Can you calculate how much money I have on my card now?”
I walked to the next bus stop. I got there and then off the bus before walking to the Catholic center, I saw the woman who was on the larger side, presumably a freshman, and gave her my power bank and cable before Nikki asked me:
“On Sunday, this girl named Liz asked about you?”
I replied:
“Liz?”
She elaborated:
“Her name’s Liz Anya.”
I didn’t fall for the prank. But Nikki needed me to help haul stuff in even after my blood donation, Rita and her were impressed I could easily carry 2 large packs of water bottles easily. A bit later this woman came in with her mom, grandma, and her kid that seemed to stare at me a lot, I found out Rita’s was born in Auburn, Alabama. After the family left, Rita talked with Jade for a meeting. Nikki wanted me and her to prank her and filmed it. Elijah’s mom behind us laughing, which Nikki acknowledged. We surprised her then got started on cleaning the bathrooms (Nikki did women’s bathrooms, I did men’s bathrooms) for an hour before I left and walked home. I charged up my phone and got on the computer until 5:00pm when I left to walk to the restaurant Joseph and I were to eat at. I got seated at 5:25pm and texted Joseph about him being in his desired seat. He arrived at 5:30pm and sat down so we could order. I got a veggie stir fry with a salad on the side plus a cup of grapefruit juice while Joseph got his usual order of mac and cheese, a cup of milk, and a cup of coffee. One of the first things mentioned was the mini mass priest being delegated to assist the bishop which he was proud of as he didn’t like that priest. Joseph also mentioned some vegetables he doesn’t like including broccoli, green beans, beets, rutabaga, cooked carrots (raw carrots are ok) and some others. Joseph also talked about how he used to sometimes bike down to the border and back on a day, departing at 4:00am in the morning and getting back home at 6:00pm at night, or how he’d bike to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin or Kenosha, Wisconsin to see his brother, his niece, and his nephew. Joseph complained about driving in Waukesha, Wisconsin as he said:
“Whoever designed those streets was drinking way too much.”
Joseph mentioned watching the football game after he’d get home, at 6:30pm we walked to his condo and he told me he bought his condo in 1991 for $34,000 and someone sold theirs recently for $110,000 roughly. I walked home and then texted him when I got back and also got 2 dates arranged today with two different women, one on Saturday and the other on Sunday. I had some more cherry mead to drink then I took a shower and I started day 12 of my 40 day rosary for life at 10:08pm with the glorious mysteries and completed it at 10:27pm and headed to bed.

When I got to the spot, I saw a homeless Black guy yelling at people outside the diner but I got in and bought this 2 pancake, 2 eggs sunny side up, and some bacon combo plus a cup of orange juice (no caffeine allowed before blood donation).

Probably like a year ago back when I was in college and I was ordering something from Dunkin Donuts I saw this homeless Black guy in our Dunkin Donuts just sitting there, loitering, begging students for cash and screaming when they didn't give anything. I went to the bathroom to phone the cops but the cops said they refused to do shit unless the business employees complain, and given that whoever was manning Dunkin' was always some indifferent ESL I knew nothing would happen.
Good luck on those dates btw. Let us know how they go

I keep thinking that you live in the UK with all the cucked police, which would explain their actions. Also one date canceled yesterday because she said she had work and another one stopped replying to me on Snapchat so I unadded her everywhere.

My location is a joke, mostly because "heh real womans amirite". I've been to the UK once on vacation a few years ago, it was alright. Sorry about your dates flaking you, especially the latter one, wish they'd just be more honest and say they're not interested. I wish people were just more honest in that regard in general.

A guy I went to a talk at on Saturday mentioned this happening more with this generation.

October 3rd, 2026: Packed day, I woke up early to get cereal and then dressed for the bus ride downtown then over to the coffee shop in the pseudo-hood, I was extremely early so I walked around quite a bit to fill out SuperLocalMaps before walking around and back at 8:50am. I got in and ordered a white mocha for 12oz and the two Black women got it to me after a while when I went over to the area and said hi to Maaenboodhoo, more people came in including this older guy from last time who was the head of an IT department and an Indian I recognized from last time whom I will be calling Yoshua. He talked to me and asked about the final round interview that I had at Adam II’s work, he appeared to be earlier in the interviewing process than me but I don’t know if he’s doing the same job as I am so I gave him advice, but he’s Indian, and I noticed the other manager for my final round interview on Tuesday is Indian, so I’m probably going to lose the job to Yoshua. I saw many other people there and a few had their laptops out with VS Code up and running, at the start we did a circle where we talked about our projects and what we need help with and Maaenboodhoo timed us 20 seconds to speak, about half the room (roughly 15 people) went over that limit and had Never Gonna Give You Up played as a reminder but I kept under time, there were more job seekers than people with jobs. Maaenboodhoo and another guy presented a slideshow about using AI to code more efficiently, including keeping under token limits and greatly reducing the count of tokens. I talked a bit with one guy then left to my bus stop with another guy who got an earlier bus. At 10:53am, I saw Anders driving his car. I finally got on my bus and wrote in my blog for a while and got off to write at home, I got redressed and heard about this double event, a talk for men about the vocation of marriage and a talk for women about the vocation of marriage plus baking sourdough bread at 7:00pm, the girl I was supposed to date today said she had to be called into work apparently. At 2:58pm I got a text from Oriang reading:
<Gemerssonnnnn!! Would you perhaps be able to read for the 9pm mass this sunday at [Catholic center]?
I initially texted yes but with my schedule I didn’t think I could so I unsent that and then texted:
>Actually I won’t be able to, sorry…
I then got some spare peanut butter cookie snacks for my “dinner” and talked with the woman I would be having a date with on Sunday night and she asked me about the talk and I described it generically. I got on the bus at 5:15pm and waited as it got off it’s break and went to the end of the line, I got off at 5:59pm and went to the bathroom at the gas station. At 6:01am I started day 13 of my 40 day rosary for life while walking around, I prioritized this lake I saw on SuperLocalMaps and made my way there, completing the rosary plus an extra decade for the conversion of some people I knew: my mom, my dad, my sister, my grandpa, grandma Jane, Asherah, Lizzo, Enosh, Waleran, and 7th Day Adventist cousin. I completed it at 6:18pm and then got to the trail, which was mostly restricted as private property, but the view was gorgeous:


I sat at the bench for a couple of minutes and took in the view, then deciding to walk down to the other viewing spot where this middle-aged White woman was doing exercises/stretches:


As I walked back where I took the first picture, I spotted this deer grazing just off the trail, it would frequently eat, stop, then look up at me, I actually managed to get quite close to her and took this picture:


Yet she was scared off into the forest by another passerby and I walked to the house, arriving at 6:52pm. One woman saw me at the door and I knocked to be let in, I met the man of the house whom I will be calling Lawrence. There had to be at least 6 kids there along with his wife. I tried to help him bring down chairs to the garage yet his daughters did that before I could. I got down and was offered a Rolling Rock beer because he wasn’t a usual beer drinker so didn’t know what the popular beers are, he had old fashioned with brandy and old fashioned pre-blended mix, eventually two other men arrived, including a guy whom I will be calling Adam III, we discussed our stories of the faith first for a while, first mentioned was that Lawrence turns 48 on November 17th while Adam III is 33 and the other guy is to turn 24 in November. As Lawrence was Gen X, he mentioned that he had different references, including to the movie Office Space. Lawrence’s story was that his mom was an Episcopalian and his dad was a Catholic but his dad converted for his mom and he grew up Episcopalian but he got lucky with churches as his priest was very conservative and wasn’t a homosexual lover but he had his conversion experience in the same college I went to and started dating his wife who married him while he was still in law school so she took a gamble on him unlike modern women who after at the finish line, and then vote for more obstacles on the track and for the finish line to be moved up to their position and then call you an incel if you have any economic complaints. Lawrence said that he was appreciative of women not having to rely on men as much on one hand but was sad at the decreased marriage. Lawrence mentioned having 10 kids so that solved one of my questions. Adam III talked about this priest in this county that would host these biyearly singles nights where the women sign up early and get put on a waitlist which then gets whittled down by men signing up later, sort of like early voting, but anyways, some single men get rewarded gift cards if they connect with a woman to facilitate dating. Last one was August 1st. Adam III told us there was sometimes when a woman would just ghost the man when things seemed good. Lawrence mentioned this habit he had where he’d write letters to his children, leave them on their bedside tables, and then they’d write back. Lawrence also mentioned a church advertising itself over the radio saying you could wear your Packers jersey to it. Disgusting. When we got to questions, I already had a second Rolling Rock and then asked a question about how we can act out men’s natural duty to provide if you don’t feel like others are allowing you to fulfill that, I can’t get a job nor can I even get a woman to like me back. Adam III told me that I should serve more to help with the feeling that I can’t fulfill traditional masculine roles. Not serving at mass as I first guessed but mostly about volunteering at the food distribution I went to where there’s way too many volunteers to feel useful. Lawrence said that someone who is well dressed would be more attractive to the ladies as he pointed out my black dress pants, grey blazer, blue button-up, and dark green tie. Lawrence lamented that back in his generation, women’s signals were far clearer so if a woman acted affectionate towards you, you knew they wanted you, the others had some questions and then I mentioned I took the bus here so Adam III said he could drive me to the bus stop after he cleaned out his front seat passenger side. We got done as I recycled my bottles and then Adam III moved a few things out of the extremely clean front seat to the back and he drove me to the gas station then I got on my bus back at 9:33pm. The woman I was supposed to go on a date with tomorrow left me on opened on Snapchat and it didn’t look like it was going to work out. It took like an hour to get back but at 9:40pm, Rosen posted on his Instagram story a selfie of him and Pete Hegseth and I walked a distance to get home, I got in and got undressed, took a shower, and finally went to bed.

Maaenboodhoo and another guy presented a slideshow about using AI to code more efficiently, including keeping under token limits and greatly reducing the count of tokens.

Honestly it’s pretty easy to keep your tokens under control, just use Luna for most tasks, Terra if you need to do anything more, and Sol for only major refactors and vulnerability shit. Honestly it’s crazy how much they switched up on token usage, my company used to give me as many tokens I want from what was essentially a bottomless pit of them, then they realized that’s not financially viable and gave all of us monthly limits.
