A Wayward Boy story

It was approximately in November of 1969 when my mom had given her life to Jesus Christ. My mom was only 26 going on 27 years old when she had five boys (Melvin, Jr., 11, Terrance 10, Rory 9, Marcus 4, and Troy 2). My mom had my older brothers before my older brother Courtney was born (1974) and before I was born (1978). My mom was married to the 3 oldest son's father from 1958-1970 but mom and her first husband was separated from 1960-1970 before they divorced. My mom would take her and her five boys to church.

Gradually when a few sets of boys got into trouble they would go to juvenile detention centers for running away from home, doing drugs when they were minors, and my mom having to go to court because her minor sons were breaking curfew to run the streets in Hartford. When Marcus and Troy were born my mom was a single mom. Mom had lived in dilapidated unfit apartments where my mom and her 5 boys were evicted because the places were roach 🪳 and rat🐀 infested because of slumlord landlords. Then mom and her five boys lived in the projects for 11 months in Bellevue Square in Hartford with her 5 boys from 1972 till 1973 and in 1974 my mom and her 5 boys one of the times stayed at the 🦩 Flamingo Inn in Hartford on the Wilson Windsor line with her five boys when she was pregnant with Courtney.

Troy at 7 started running away from home. Troy was told that he was the baby by his older brothers Melvin, Jr., Terrance, Rory, and Marcus. Troy was brought home in squad cars. My mom even got counseling for Troy and the psychologist said to my mom that the reason why Troy was running away from home so much was because Troy was jealous of Courtney and there were no father figure in Troy's life. At that time my mom had remarried and was married to my father in 1974. Courtney, the baby 🍼 at the time could have easily thought that my father was his father but my mom told Courtney that my father was not his father. My mom and my father divorced when I was 3 going on 4 in 1982.

Troy ran away from home so much that Marcus almost lost his life so many times looking for Troy on the streets in Hartford. There was a 2-year age difference between Troy and Marcus. Troy was always bigger and stronger than Marcus even though Marcus was older than Troy. Troy at 13 became unruly and my mom felt that what was best is that she send Troy to Long Lane reform school in Middletown. 

Rory taught Troy how to steal when Troy was little and Troy and his girlfriend Missy at the time would escape from Long Lane and rob all the neighbors and mom's house in Hartford. Troy and his girlfriend got to the place where they were robbing mom's house so much that they would steal food out of the refrigerator while mom was at work. One time Marcus at 17 saw Troy at 15 almost lost his hand breaking in the window to rob mom while she was at work.  Marcus was terrified and afraid of Troy because Troy is 6' 2" and Marcus is 5' 8." Troy learned how-to beat-up Marcus when Troy was 5 going on 6 and when Marcus was 7 going on 8. Troy one time slashed all 4 of mom's car tires.

Troy slept in so many areas where Marcus went to look for Troy in the following: The woods, bushes, dumpsters, garbage cans, floors of abandoned schools, floors of bars, floors of Janitor's closets, and Troy once slept in a floor of a murder's house when Troy was only 7. Troy, Rory, and Terrance were the main ones that got into trouble. Troy kept mom praying for Troy the most because mom didn't know where Troy was for 10 years. Troy at 14 almost lost his life twice.  The first time Troy almost lost his life when Troy went on a joy ride in a stolen car. Troy was going 90 miles in the car outrunning the cops. Troy crashed in the stolen car and turned over in the car 3 times with Troy upside down in the car. Troy went to the doctor and the doctor told Troy that Troy's neck was broke. My mom called the prayer tower at Full Gospel Interdenominational church in Manchester to pray for Troy because Troy was in a terrible car accident and the doctor pronounced that Troy's neck was broke. Mom and the church prayed that Troy's neck would be totally healed, and Troy's neck was normal, and all Troy had was his 2 front teeth missing and his knees was scraped with cuts from the car wreck.

Another time Troy almost lost his life at 14 was when Troy went swimming in a swimming pool. Troy jumped into the pool and Troy went down under drowning in the pool. There were no lifeguards in sight. A woman came out of nowhere and jumped into the swimming pool and pulled Troy out of the pool. The woman began to do CPR on Troy until she got a pulse. Troy was coughing and came to. It was nothing but prayer that kept Troy alive. Troy would continue to do what he did with the different influences in his life (mainly the different girlfriends and Rory) which caused Troy to do bad things like steal to do drugs. Troy was the type of person when he looked for a job, Troy would get hired on the spot. Troy would be given 2nd chances to prove he had changed and for 2 weeks, it seemed like Troy was on the right path to better himself. Troy found work when he went to Miami, FL in 1980 when he stayed with my grandparents. After 2 weeks, Troy would steal from family and he would get sent back to Hartford, CT on a plane.

In 1983, Troy decided it would be best for him if he left Hartford and go to Detroit, MI and stay with Terrance and Betty (Toni) our older brother and his wife (our sister-in-law). Troy had missed his partner in crime girlfriend Missy but thought he would start all over when Troy went to Detroit. For 2 weeks everything went really well. Terrance and Toni were talking about having Troy get his records from Hartford and move to Detroit and attend the University of Michigan like when Terrance did when he left Hartford and moved to Detroit. Well, Terrance influenced Troy to break in the house and rob Toni while Troy was in Detroit. Terrance even helped Troy rob Toni because Terrance was doing drugs, too. This really upset Toni so much what Troy did, so Toni sent Troy on a plane back to Hartford. Troy was a follower and usually that is what followers do, they follow and do what leaders tell them to do or even listen to followers like them.

Meanwhile, Troy almost lost his life at 17 going on 18. Troy was at a subway station at the Port Authority in Manhattan, NY in 1985. Troy had on a fur coat, and what they will do to people that have anything of value at the stations is steal or in Troy's case cut the fur coat off of him with Troy in it and mugged him for his fur coat. Troy was stabbed and shot at and Troy had to go to a hospital in Manhattan. Troy had to get 67 stitches for his face, Troy had a big chunk of his arm cut from the knife wounds, and Troy was shot in the leg. A nurse was able to call my mom from the Manhattan hospital. She told my mom that Troy had been in a coma for 3 days and woke up and that Troy was mugged at the Port Authority subway station. The nurse felt that my mom needed to know even though she wasn't supposed to release that info because Troy was no longer considered a minor. 

Courtney and mom went to the Manhattan hospital and Courtney located where Troy was. Me and Marcus was home. Marcus was a high school graduate, who attended San Diego school of Medicine when he enlisted in the Navy Reserves. Marcus from the training he learned doctored on Troy getting the first aid kit. Marcus took out all of the stitches in Troy's face and got big towels that were bloodied after Marcus bandaged Troy. Troy was staying with us for 2 weeks until Troy got well. Troy even had me making hamburgers and fries on my 7th birthday that same year in 1985. Me and Troy played some games of checkers. When Troy got a letter from Rory in jail, Troy went out into the streets. About a little over a month later Troy broke in the house and robbed us while we were at church. Troy left his signature YMCA on the wall in the dining room because that was where Troy was at, at the time. Troy had stolen mom's hair products, all of Marcus's clothes, and a handcrafted money bank with money in it that Courtney made for mom in school. Marcus had to go to work in his Navy uniform. Mom had to put in a police report and the police went down to the YMCA where Troy was, and they arrested Troy and Troy did jail time.

Troy was given a chance after serving jail time from 1984-1986.Troy got his GED while being locked up in Chesire in 1985.  In 1987, my cousin Myra sent for Troy on a bus to stay with her in Plant City, FL. Troy was doing good for 2 weeks while working and staying with my cousin in Plant City. After 2 weeks, Troy robbed my cousin; her, and 2 other cousins got enough money from their father (my uncle), and they all pitched in and got a bus ticket and sent Troy back to Hartford. It seemed like the 2 weeks of Troy doing good and messing up after 2 weeks was a habit Troy found himself in consistently. Troy would work but would steal to get drugs. The drug addiction and growing up in a single parent home for inner city children seemed to be a habit. 

Troy would be given a 2nd chance when he stayed with Marcus in 1989 in Los Angeles, CA. For 2 weeks Troy worked and did good. Troy broke in Marcus's house and robbed Marcus. Marcus sent Troy back on a train to Hartford. Troy can honestly say that that was his worst experience being sent back. It takes approximately 2 days and 16 hours from Los Angeles to Hartford by train. Troy would leave the state again when he went to Clifton, TN. After Troy left from bootcamp in Clifton he came back to Hartford and stayed with me and my mom in Bloomfield in 1996. Troy moved to Orlando, FL in 1996, been in Orlando 27 years now and Troy is married to Paula his 2nd wife and they have been married for 20 years now. Troy went from being a wayward boy, to a car detailer, and now retired. Every parent or parents have a wayward son/sons or daughter/daughters in their family. For those parents that have prodigal sons and daughters, I hope this story encourages you. Well, that is all for free speech on all topics, till next time keep an eye out for more blogs like this.

Free Speech and Expression

 I can truly say that free speech and expression is vital and important today. I first created free speech on all topics back in April of 2022 because I thought it was important to express my experiences being on message boards and social media. First off, I started off on message boards back in 2004. I was on Yahoo NBA basketball and NFL football message boards from 2004-2006. Like social media there were trolls on message boards. People would use their email handle to post comments and create threads. Haters were encouraged to create a section talking bad about a basketball team or football team that they disliked. This experience became a toxic experience when more and more haters would post on threads on the message boards.

Secondly, I would go from the sports message boards to the American Idol message board from 2006-2007. The threads were different and different users would post on threads about their favorite American Idol contestants from Seasons 1-6. In message boards, people used avatars of pics of their favorite Idol contestants or their own pics and used a handle name of their choice. Haters would come on there and troll around on the AI message boards. Whenever anyone was on the AI message boards, they were told not to reply to trolls on there or their accounts would be suspended or banned like the trolls. Whenever anyone got banned on AI message boards, he or she had to have one of their friends write an email to the CEO to get them reinstated. I've done that for a hand full of my friends who was sent to "banned camp" on the message boards. 

In 2007, I was introduced to Myspace from a friend who was on the American Idol message boards, who I chatted with because message boards became very toxic at that point. People began to lose interest on the message boards and message boards started to implode. Myspace became popular, when I was at Capital Community college in 2005. A lot of classmates at Capitol Student News (CSN) was bragging about how cool Myspace was at the time. I was very reluctant to go on Myspace because, I was still on message boards at that time, and I heard about how people's accounts were phished and hacked on Myspace. The big difference between message boards and social media is that you can't see a person when they spew out hatred because they use avatars and handle names on message boards. On social media for the most part, people use their own pics. If you say something on social media, you are very likely going to eventually run into someone face-to-face that you had spewed hatred towards more than if you were on message boards. Nowadays, people hide behind a computer screen because they would be afraid to confront the person face-to-face that they had the "beef" with.  

I was on Myspace, and it was a whole lot different from message boards. There were music bands, couples, singles, single couples, and on your Myspace page you can create a layout, music, about me, who you would like to meet, heroes, TV, and movies, etc., and everyone was excited whenever they would see a green light on anyone's name who was on the social media site. Tom Anderson was the President of Myspace at the time, and he was part of the welcoming committee, and you would automatically become friends with Tom. Myspace started to go downhill after Tom sold it in 2010. Myspace had less layouts to choose from and Myspace started to become restricted. I eventually deleted my Myspace account in 2012 after the up-and-coming site became like Google+ and a music band bought Myspace and made Myspace unusable. I briefly got Myspace back in 2013 and after one year, I noticed the once enjoyable social media site became trash and not worth being on anymore.

In 2011, I started blogging about my experiences when I signed up on blogger from 2011-2012. I signed up on wix.com and created an account from 2012-2016. I went back to blogger in 2017. I signed up on Tumblr in 2016-present and started blogging from 2018-2022 when I created a secondary profoundfictionstories.tumblr.com on it. I have created a Weebly account from 2019-present. I'm now back on blogger from 2022-present. I've had a rocky experience on message boards, social media, and going through creating websites when other free websites changed their guidelines. I went on Twitter from 2011-2012, from 2012-2013, and from 2013-2021. I went on Facebook from 2010-2011 and 2014-2021, and lastly, I went on Instagram from 2019-2022. There is so much to say about how rocky Twitter, FB, and Instagram was that I couldn't even begin to tell it all in this blog. However, those social media sites became so toxic that I had to permanently delete my accounts for good. Well, that's all for free speech on all topics till next time, keep an eye out for more blogs like this. God Bless You!

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders Delivers 2023 Republican Respon...

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders response to Joe Biden's state of the union speech was a "breath of fresh air." The new generation of Republicans have Generation Xers like Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Congressman Matt Gaetz, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, etc., in leadership. As a generation Xer myself, I'm proud the way these group of Republicans hold those in leadership accountable. It's not just a talking point to them, it's a way of life because they are in leadership and proudly serve their constituents. Now Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in 15 minutes dismantled Joe Biden's one hour and 12 minutes state of the union speech. I did not watch Biden's speech because I know that Fake President's speech would be full of bold face lies.  

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a really elegant way said that she didn't believe anything that Biden said when he gave the speech. Since the Biden administration was installed the WH, in the past 2 years there has been nothing but division, inflation, and chaos going on in our country. The media refuses to cover it. The media cover stories that try to make Fake President look good and our real President Donald J. Trump look bad. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave a powerful uniting speech. Governor Sanders talked about how God healed her from thyroid cancer and she was cancer free after successful surgery. Governor Sanders mom got a bad report from the doctor when she was in her 20's when she had been married 1 year to her father former Governor Mike Huckabee that she would never walk and if she did walk she wouldn't be able to have any children. Governor Sanders proudly talked about how the Lord healed her mom and how her mom had a daughter, who is the first woman and the youngest woman to be elected Governor in the "Natural State" of Arkansas. 

Democrats, Republicans, and Independents see how our country is in the gutter. It's no secret. Governor Sanders talks about how the left is being hijacked. No matter how you look at it, inflation is the reason why our economy is terrible in the US. Empty shelves in grocery stores, the low unemployment being only 3.5%; we all know is misinformation because they are not polling people who quit their jobs because they said "Hell No!" to the vaccine mandates that Fake President implemented. More and more people were told that if they stay home and get government assistance they would get paid more money than if they applied for work and got a job. There is a lot of job vacancies that the media won't cover. There is a lot of job layoffs that the media won't cover. The high gas prices is also due to inflation.  I know it's been a while since I last did a shared free speech on all topics post but I've been busy and I've been waiting to hear Governor Sanders state of the union response. That is all for free speech on all topics, till next time keep an eye out for more blogs like this. God Bless You! 

Pro-Life Woman Arrested For Praying Silently Outside Abortion Center - LifeNews.com

Pro-Life Woman Arrested For Praying Silently Outside Abortion Center - LifeNews.com: The U.K. March for Life director was recently arrested after police found her praying silently outside of an abortion clinic, according to a press release by Alliance Defending Freedom U.K. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a charity volunteer and Christian, was approached by police officers on Dec. 6 outside of BPAS Robert Clinic in Birmingham, England, and asked […]

This is an example why we have to keep our Ukrainian ally in our prayers. U.K. March for Life director & Christian Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested for silently praying outside a BPAS Robert Clinic in Birmingham, England. Ms. Vaughan was not protesting she was just praying quietly. The woman targeted because is Pro-Life and a Christian. Ms. Vaughan is there to support women who suffered consequences from effects of having abortions. 

I believe if Ms. Vaughan was a Pro-abortion and a non-Christian she wouldn't have been targeted or arrested. Praying silently to yourself is not grounds for arrest nor being targeted ever. The is a spiritual battle between good and evil. 

UK President Volodymyr Zelenskky came to Washington DC tonight and gave a profound speech that was about a little over thirty minutes long. The message is simple, we have to continue to help our ally because the UK is our ally. During the challenging times when Russia was at war with the UK, the UK wanted the US to help combat Russian troops with armed airplanes. President Zelenskky believe that his country is victorious because an exhausted Russian President Vladimir Putin couldn't conquer the UK. The whole ordeal that woman went through getting arrested for praying is why we have to continue to 🙏 for our allies like the UK.

Could Joe Manchin decide to switch from Democrat and become an Independent like Kyrsten Sinema?

 The Georgia 2022 runoff that saw Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock be installed Senator for a 6-year term to give the Democrats a 51-49 slim majority lead in the Senate left one big question mark. Apparently that didn't bode well for Democratic Senator of Arizona Kyrsten Sinema. Senator Sinema changed from Democrat and registered as an Independent. Senator Sinema said her decision was based on the results of the Georgia runoff. Senator Sinema says she will not caucus with Republicans but will still caucus with her Democratic party that she left. 

The question❓ is could Joe Manchin, Democratic Senator of West Virginia change from Democrat and register as an Independent like Senator Sinema has done? Senator Manchin & Senator Sinema have both voted against their party to prevent Biden from signing a bill or bills in the past. Could the same 2 viewed as Moderate Democrats do the same thing? Both Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema would be up for re-election in the 2024 General Election. This would be one last chance for these 2 Democrats to help save our country from complete collapse from terrible policies that the Biden Administration is proposing.

This could happen and it is not really farfetched. Senator Sinema liked a 50-50 Senate split. The 50-50 Senate split allowed resolutions to be passed when it was a 50-50 tie when Democrat back bills or Republican back bills that would either lead to Kamala breaking the tie to send a Democrat bill to Biden's desk to be signed into law or Kamala Harris striking down a Republican back bill. Senator Sinema also changed to be an Independent because only partisan proposals will be brought up in bills from the Senate Democrat majority. This is enough of a reason for Joe Manchin to bolt from the Democratic party and decide to register as an Independent. Just a thought. 🤔 That is all for free speech on all topics, till next time keep an eye out for more blogs like this. God Bless You!

Deep Red Georgia now a toss-up state

 

Last night's Georgia runoff race was evidently clear that GA is now a toss-up state. Georgia normally red in 2020 rigged their general election to install Democrat Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in GA. This was courtesy of RINO Governor Brian Kemp, RINO Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and a big help from Stacey Abrams. There was obvious level of massive voter fraud in the peach state, but no special session was called nor was there any forensic audit like Arizona did when massive voter fraud occurred in the general election there, too. Kemp, Raffensperger, and Abrams let the voter fraud be "swept under the rug." 

GA once again, normally a reliable red state, went blue again by installing incumbent Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock again for re-election in the 2022 midterm election giving him a 6-year term. Kemp, Raffensperger, and Abrams once again allowed the 2020 general election voter fraud to be buried. Kemp, Raffensperger, and Abrams sure seem to be on the same page when it comes to rigging elections in GA to help Democrats get in public office. Had Georgia known that Kemp would have turned out to be a RINO, I don't think that Kemp would have won in the Republican primary in 2018, I believe that GA would have nominated a more favorable candidate. In fact, Kemp was in 6th place out of all the 6 Republicans that vied for the Republican nominee for Governor. With the endorsement of President Trump, Kemp went from last place to Republican nominee to Governor elect in 2018. President Trump mentions the endorsement regrets that he has done and endorsing Brian Kemp for Governor was one of President Trump's regrets. 

The only red wave that happened in the 2022 midterms were in Florida, Ohio, Iowa, etc. Florida is no longer considered a swing state, it is now solid red, and you can say the same about the Buckeye state of Ohio. The thing you have to question is why would RINOs want to work with Democrats to try and help sabotage election wins for the GOP? Well, it's simple, they beg President Trump for his endorsement like Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna McDaniel did. Then they act like they are going to help the GOP flip heavily blue districts in blue states. The moment there is bickering among RINOs and MAGA Republicans the aforementioned RINOS who got in leadership decide that they will not fund money for MAGA Republicans. Now you have a rift and divided Republican party calling for Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna McDaniel to be ousted from GOP leadership positions because they are responsible for the GOP underachieving in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Well, I will leave it at that. That is all for free speech on all topics, till next time keep an eye out for more blogs like this. God Bless You!

Matt Gaetz for Speaker of the House

 The 2022 Midterm elections have been a disappointment to say the very least. Dems and RINOs outspent MAGA Trump-backed candidates. Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna McDaniel poured in money for Never Trumpers and Dems all because what matter to them is being the minority and remain in power. The GOP has a 220-213 lead in the House right now. The 2 races left will go red one of them they will do a recount and it is very likely that the GOP will have a 222-213 majority in the House. The Senate should have gone red in PA, NV, and AZ but AZ secretary of state/ Democratic candidate for Governor is trying to steal an election once again like the Dems stole the election in 2020 by trying to turn a red state of AZ blue to favor the Dems in the race for Governor, the Senate, and secretary of state.

The majority of people don't trust the 2022 midterm elections. The majority of people believe that the 2022 midterm elections much like the 2020 US Presidential election was rigged and stolen in favor of Democrats to either stay in power or keep Republicans out of power. The key swing states of AZ, PA, MI, WI, NV, and GA are the primary states that have issues with massive voter fraud in them. When these key swing states are cleaned up, then blue states like mine of CT, others like NY, NJ, NH, RI, MA, DC, MD, CA, WA, etc., is where they need to check next for voter fraud.

With that being said, the House needs to vote for someone with integrity. The GOP needs to unite and vote for someone who will stand up to the DC establishment RINOs and Democrats. The GOP needs to vote for someone who will get on the key swing states to have fair elections that won't have results of elections drag on for days or even weeks after election day. The GOP needs to vote with their conscience and ask themselves which person who they feel will help get a huge voter turnout for Republicans in the General elections and who could flip solid blue districts red in 2024. The GOP needs to vote for someone who will investigate the corrupt Biden family, the corrupt DOJ/FBI, all the corrupt Republicans and Democrats in Congress, etc. I think the GOP should vote for Matt Gaetz, Congressman from Florida.

Matt Gaetz is the obvious choice right now because Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene & Congressman Jim Jordan, who would also be good as Speaker of the House say that they will support Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House. McCarthy would be disaster as Speaker of the House because he is another proven RINO that will go either way to get votes.  If elected Speaker, McCarthy would guarantee at best a 50-50 Senate split and 218-217 House in 2024. The Dems know that McCarthy is weak, and the Dems would convince him to vote their way. The Dems got their leader to succeed Nancy Pelosi in Hakeem Jeffries. Every house Democrat said that they all will vote Yea for Hakeem Jeffries. GOP unite and vote 218 Yeas for Matt Gaetz for Speaker of the House. McCarthy should not even be in the running for consideration to be Speaker of the House. Just My 2 Cents. That is all for free speech on all topics, till next time keep an eye out for more blogs like this. God Bless You!
