Storyline

     Sometimes I have to pre-date a story, but the pre-date is not a pre-date.  It is actually picking the story up from an earlier point for myself.

     I am 17 years old now, it is August 1992, Is August 20 or 21 or 22, 1991, or a few days after, but is the last week of August 1991.  Hurricane Bob had hit New England, there was a lot of sand in Newport, this much I remember.  I am getting ready to become a Senior at BR, or Bridgewater Raynham Regional High School, in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Commonwealth, USA.

     And now I am 18 years old.  It is Thanksgiving break from the United States Coast Guard Academy.  I am either just leaving or just going to Joe's house, and Joe is in the car with me.  I am not sure what kind of car I am driving, but it is a car.  I am talking about the band and my ideas for fundraising to be able to get the equipment trailer, trucks, cars, equipment.  And 1980 Epic, 30 years later with Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.  Ok, so I am 18 for Thanksgiving November 1992.

     I think about my age of 22 years old, it is August 1996.  I am finishing up with Tennis Camp for the summer and got a job offer in Easton at the Easton Tennis Club to teach tennis there.  For some reason, I'm 36 years old and still haven't made it there.  This in turn created a series of events that I am still trying to unfold. 

     And I think about this.  Say, $400 to $500 a week salary for upkeep of the club.  Plus private lessons, I was getting $40 an hour back when I was 22 for private tennis lessons.  Plus I had my tennis camp which was 6 weeks in July and August which made another $3000 to $5000+ for the summer.  Plus there's also a house

 
hi :). 56.9%
 Bridgewater, Plymouth, MA
July 2, 2763

here for free room and board.  Plus free use of the tennis courts indoor and outdoor, clay and hardcourt indoor and clay outdoor.  Plus the pool.  Plus in the woods and quiet away from highways and the train going by with the loudness of the train and the horn of the train, not here.  And what was I thinking??? Ugh, I wasn't thinking, and this was and is the problem.  This was much more than tennis.

    Ok, back to my storyline.  For some reason, I like to compare various things I do to Augustus Caesar, born Caius Octavius Thurinus, as I am born Joshua Lee Freeman.  The naming styles have changed, but people are people.  I will compare my age of 22 with Augustus's age of 22.

     I am born on December 27, 1973 AD.  Augustus is born on September 23, 63 BC.  So, he is born a little more than 3 months before I am.  I am guessing that this September 23 is transposed or updated to the Gregorian calendar that we use now, maybe it isn't, but for now, as is all I can do right now, I will take this date as is.  And for Caius Julius Caesar, he is born on July 13, 100 BC.  I will look into this date next, but for now, I will look at Augustus's realm and dateline. :).

     This wacked out energy could come from the Catholic Church and Christianity in general.  I'm definitely not Christian, I'm Jewish.  And then when it comes down to it, I seem more interested in Roman and Egyptian things, and French things, leaving the Christianity out.

      And I wonder about things, like it is 6/28/2010 at 4:23 PM EST for Eastern Standard Time.  I got new curtains today, and thus right now this brings to the present.

 

Tennis

     I ordered the Prince Thunder 820 Longbody 107 square inch head today with a 4 3/8 inch grip size.  The only main difference is that I used to have a 4 1/2" grip size.  This racquet survived with me until about November 26 or 27, 1996.  It got lost somewhere in France, Spain, or New York City.  More particularly, Bordeaux, Madrid, or New York City.  So now being June 28, 2010, I move to the end of this storyline and pick up there, which is the Charles II part, a few paragraphs ahead. 

 

Wampum

     Wampum is a word I've known for a while now, at least I think I know it. "White bead" of various seashells, the most common being the quahog shell, which has spelling variants such as quahaug, poquahock, hard clam, mercenaria mercenaria, among others. Various other shells such as the channeled whelk, periwinkle are used to make wampum also. Wompi from the Algonquian language, or the native language to the northeastern part of the United States and lower Canada, means White.

     Many have their own version of what wampum is, I think about the Dutch trade of the wampum, which they called Sewant, Seawant, Zeewant, with various spellings used. I think about the stiver, beaver, copper, brass, bronze, orichalcum, sterling silver, silver, and gold valuations of the wampum.

     I have spent countless hours trying to figure out what is a stiver. How does it relate to an English penny. What is the size of the wampum bead. How many equal a stiver. How many equal a penny.

     I figured out the English penny part. There is this thing called a troy pound, or troy ounce. From the city of Troyes in France, to the city of London, England. Basically, Troy is a synonym for Barley, as metals were weighed in the amount of barley grains, or 5760 barley or troy grains in a troy pound.

     Through my studies, I also figured out that there are 3 barley or troy grains in 1 carob bean. Four wheat grains equals three barley or troy grains. And 5/3 tola seeds equal one carob bean. Also, the standard I put together for how heavy a carob bean is 500/2640 grams. There are of course variants, but this is the standard that I use, or a little under 0.2 grams.

Some of you may know that the word carat or karot, not sure if I am spelling it right, but basically as in Carot Gold, and of Diamond Karots, these words come from the Carob bean. This is a seed from a tree of the Mediterranean sea, which is used as a food and sweetener.

 

Fort Huys de Goede Hoop

     Now, I skip forward, or backwards, depending on your point of view, to the Fort Huys de Goede Hoop. This means, in Dutch, the Fort House of Good Hope. This is how Hartford, Connecticut got its start, in as early as 1623, and as late as 1633, various conflicting sources I have read give this range of dates. This is the land of Suckiaug, or the place of the black fertile earth next to the river banks of the Connecticut or Konecticott river, also known in Dutch, as Vershe or Fresh River.

     The Dutch had started their version of the West India Company in Amsterdam, in 1621. The English's version we know as the Virginia Company, both of which combined eventually to form the United States of America. Now being the year 2010, this is a while ago now. 389 years ago, so coming up on 400 years. A lot can happen in this amount of time. I don't speak Dutch. I don't know if I even know one word in Dutch. I speak English. Obviously the English won out in terms of who speaks what language.

     And the average person on the street in Hartford never even heard the words Fort Huys de Goede Hoop. If I say Huyshope, then some Hartfordians understand, as this is a street name, in the Colt section of Hartford, or just south of the main part of the city, near to where the Colt Factory and homeless shelters are.

     I suppose, the first Dutch, and English, settlers to this area, in some standards, could be considered homeless, or maybe explorers with temporary shelter. Whatever the definition, by the 1620's, there was European activity in this area. The French had been trading in this area as early as the 1500's. And of course, the Indians, also known as American Indians, Native Americans, Indigenous, Natives, Salvages, Savages, Algonquians, but in every day language, the Indians ... they are and have been in this area for thousands of years, since the Glaciers retreated, and possibly before the glaciers arrived.

 

Fort Amsterdam

     And then I think about Fort Amsterdam. In around 1626, or 1624, but around this time, Inigo Jones designed this Fort, as a protective trading post for the West India Company, based in Amsterdam, Dutch chapter. Now known as New York City, this Fort Amsterdam, was the first point of contact for the Dutch from Holland to this part of the world, especially for the fur trade, of which the Beaver was the primary animal of extract. Tomaquag known in Narragansett, and I have no idea what in Dutch, the beaver, oh the beaver. Brown furry creature, with a splatter tail, and those two buck teeth. Cha Cha Cha. Hello beaver. You.

     And how many sewant equal a beaver. There is the fathom length, which is now known as six feet. But the Dutch standard, how does this work, I still don't know.

 

Fort Orange

     And, up the river to the north, is Fort Orange, with various spellings such as Oranje, named after the House of Orange, in what's now Germany. This being the principal inland port for this same West India Company, which in Dutch the symbols of GWC, I'll call WIC right now or wic, for ease of typing. Well, whatever it is called, It was started as Fort Nassau in this general area in 1614 by the Dutch East India Company. It lasted for 3 years until 1617 until it was abandoned and washed away by the river.

     We know this river by the name of the Hudson River, or Hudson's river now adays. But back then, it was the Mauritius or North, Nort, Nord River.

I have read reports that this Dutch fort is built over the remains of an early 1500's or 16th century French fort, which I tend to believe, my family. And of course, before this is the Indians. Up in this area are the Mohawk and Mohican, which still are here.

 

Nova Belgii

     In English, New Belgium, this is the name of what is now New York. Nieuw Nederlandt is within this area, and is also a company in the 1610's, which became superseded by the GWC. And still, the Belgic Dutch still come into this area, and traverse up and down the river, now often via Train.

     There are many towns, villages, cities, counties, boroughs, and homesteads up and down this Hudson River. It is a wide river, sometimes at width of a mile or more wide. It goes way up into Canada, and ultimately connects at the Saint Lawrence Seaway in Quebec and Ontario.

     But it empties out by what's now New York City into the Atlantic Ocean.

 

Rome

     The Everready Diner in the town of Hyde Park, County of Dutchess, State of New York, is at latitude north 41.788285. This is the same latitude north as the Fiumancino Airport just outside of Roma, Italia, or Rome Italy in English. 41.788285, 12.25 is the coordinates of the Fiumancino Airport. You can look this up fairly easily at Google maps at http://maps.google.com. Cut and paste or type in these coordinates into the search bar at this maps website.

     The Everready diner is at 41.788285, -73.934308. At least this I think is the building, based on me being here last Thursday, and looking up this diner on Google at www.google.com.

 

Wimbledon

     The All England Championships started in London at Wimbledon in 1877. Queen Victoria is the Queen or Regina of England. Re, Rex, Ruler, Reign, Rayn, Raynham.

 

Raynham

     There is a Raynham England in Norfolk County, but the Raynham I am talking about here is in Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA. Note the USA, this is like Great Britain in some regards. But what of the United Kingdom. This is sort of like the United Nations, at least in terms of levels of government, maybe even beyond, or not quite as far. It depends on the person, and of the law also, whatever that is. I suppose it depends on whose law it is.

The Netherlands

     The Netherlands is a place I want to go again.  The last time I went there was in November 1996.  I was in Amsterdam Airport in either January or February 2004, but I did not get out into Amsterdam the city, this was a connecting flight which I had about a half hour or an hour layover wait.   

 

James II

     And I was thinking that James II was King of England in 1675, but now that I look it up online, specifically on Wikipedia, I see that Charles II is the King of England in 1675.  This is where my memory picks up here for the most part.  The fort here.  Before the farm from my readings of the history of Raynham.  So, therefore I should study Charles II and see how he does things. 

     And then, I wonder who is King of France in 1675.  Hmm.  Same thing, I will look this up on Wikipedia.  I am thinking Louis XIV.  And yes, I am right, is Louis XIV King of France in 1675.  But I am not sure if his reign extended to this area, I am thinking, probably not.  Charles II probably had a much bigger grip on this area here, with Louis XIV to the north, in what's now Quebec and Ontario along the St. Lawrence Seaway, or Nova Francia, or New France, or Nouvelle France, here being New England, or of the sorts.  And at this time is Plymouth Colony, or the Society of Plymouth, or the Society of New Plymouth, or something along this lines, or with an extension of Massachusetts Bay Colony or Company extending out to here, or something entirely different, but still within the reign of Charles II, with Charles I being at Boston where this started off and James I being at Plymouth, but here, of Charles II. :)., at least I think so. 

 

Charles II

     From what I read on Wikipedia in the article Charles II of England, he was, or you were crowned in 1660 at Westminster Abbey, the day before you made the procession from the Tower of London to the Westminster Abbey.  From looking up Westminster Abbey on Google Maps, this is on the west bank of the Thames River, looking east.  Therefore to watch the sun rise, or the sun come up.  So if on the 29th of May 1630 you are born, and then crowned on 29 May 1660, then you are 30 years old. 

     I turned 30 years old on Singapore Airlines above the Atlantic Ocean, flying to Frankfurt Germany, then to Tallinn Estonia.  But specifically, I was flying above the clouds, and I turned 30. :).

     And from looking at the procession from the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey on Google Maps satellite, and then comparing the curve of the Thames River to the curve of the Taunton River, the palace at Whitehall where Charles II lived, is where the center of Taunton, Massachusetts here in the USA is, in Bristol County.  What if this was Tauntonshire, I do wonder about this, or Taunton County, instead of Bristol County.  Bristol seceded to Rhode Island in 1747, and the name was not changed here.  Bristol County in Rhode Island, where Bristol, RI is, this government doesn't work anymore, there are no more county commissioners in Bristol County, RI.  And Bristol County, MA, here has 3 commissioners, but they get most if not all of their money from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

     I think about the Commonwealth of England, with Oliver Cromwell as the head.  This lasted until about or at 1660, when Oliver's son took over, but this didn't last long before the English Parliament invited Charles II to come back in and take over, which was May 29, 1660.

     I think about Isner and Mahut at Wimbledon, in London, right now.  They are tied at 59-59 in the 5th set, a match that has gone 10 hours already, is the longest tennis match in history.  American and French man.  Elizabeth II is the Queen of England now, is related to Charles II, but not a direct line from him.

     I do wonder who are the people who are descended from Charles II, and if any of them live around here, or if I know any of them.  As per the history recorded or written, he did not have kids with Catherine Braganza of Portugal, his queen consort. 

 

June 5, 2010

     It started at 7:20pm, here on Saturday, June 5, 2010.  I have to backtrack to understand some things, or even attempt to understand them.  Maybe some things I won't understand, but I try to.  My thought is to back date this to August 1996.

 

August 1996

     This is nearly 14 years ago now.  In about the first week of June 1996, I had moved back to my parents house after finishing out the Spring semester and staying an extra few weeks at UMass Dartmouth Cedar Dell.  I lived at my parents house while running my tennis camp at UMass Dartmouth, called The Tennis Camp.  I was also playing USTA 4.5 NTRP level New England tournaments since January 1996, which I had played at Longmeadow Tennis Club, in Longmeadow, MA, which is about two hours west of here in Bridgewater, MA where I live right now, in Plymouth County.

 

Pizza Party

     I have this idea for almost 5 years now, to form the Pizza Party and run for USA President.  I was thinking about it as early as October 2005 when I first went to Hartford and stayed a while.  I probably should have done it right then, but I didn't get around to it for some reason. 

 

June 28, 2010

     And, I do think about this.  It is Monday right now, June 28, 2010.  The summer has started, and what are my real plans.  I don't have any.  I've had some great opportunities, at least they seemed like they were great, or they even were great, or even better than great, more like awesome, that I did not take up on.  It's more exhausting to think about.  Jeu de Paume.  Monk Cloisters 11th and 12th century france, but as of the 5th century in the Tuscan villages.  Now the 13th century, Jeu de paume, through much of Europe.  Jeu de Paume in the streets and in the monastery cloisters.  Nobles, the rich, build courts using the features of the street, in the couts.  King James the second in 1298 in Valencia, Spain castle courtyard to a tennis court.  Modifying castle courtyards through the upper classes of Italy, France, Spain, and England.  October 1347.   King Louis 1470 France standardizes tennis balls.

     http://loeuf.org/chateaux/  Binnenhof, The Hague.  Hofvijver.  Quarter Farthing, 1.2 grams.  1839-53.  www.coinsgb.com.  4*1.2 = farthing = 4.8 grams copper.  25.344 carob.  4*1.2*4 = penny. 

1.2 grams copper fourth farthing, 1.2/500*2640 = 6.336 carob copper.  Is close to 6.4 carob. 

Say, the fourth farthing is 6.4 carob, where as I stated earlier in my Wampum section, that a carob as I have standardized it here is 500/2640 grams. 

6.4*4*4*12*20 = 24,576 carob total.  24576/1920 = 12.8 british pounds of 1920 carob each.  10.66667 greek pounds of 2304 carob each.  but, if 23040/(4*4*12*20) = 6 carob.  Or could be 23040*.925 = 24420.  This would make this 6.36 carob.  at 6 carob, this is 1.166 grams. 

     With all of these calculations, this still is of the copper coin, a fourth farthing.  There are 4 fourth farthings in a farthing, 4 farthings in a pence.  12 pence in a shilling, and 20 shillings in a pound.  There are 21 shillings in a Guinea, a gold coin, at least of the 1600's.

Boston

     I went to Boston today.  Is a strange place.   1625 Reverend Blaxton (Blackstone) moved there.  He came from a colony to the south of what's now Boston but north of what's now Plymouth.  He came over here in 1622.  The records before 1625 I am not very sure of right now.  I have heard various things about vikings, chinese, maybe egyptians or romans.  Definitely the American Indians, but I do not hear much about the Indians of early 1600's Boston.

     Wampum in Newetowne accepted at 6 per penny in 1637.  And a few years in 1640, wampum is accepted in Boston at 4 white per penny and 4 blewe per penny up to 12 d or 12 pennies.  Things moved along until 1770.  Was February 22, 1770, Christopher Seider was killed by Ebenezer Richardson, customs agent for the British Government.  This led to 11 days later to the Boston Massacre where 5 more people got killed.  Things escalated to ultimate break with Britain.  A little over 240 years ago now. 

     Samuel Adams father, also named Samuel Adams, he was a brewer, he made beer.  Samuel Adams, from what I read at the Granary cemetery where samuel adams son and revolutionary is buried, he was more into politics than brewing, if he even got much involved in brewing.  More trying to form a new system over here.

     And what of the Virginia Company.  This is still in the northern parts of the Virginia Company, according to the English law.  From 34 latitude north to 41 north is the London Company of Virginia.  And overlapping from 38 north to 45 north is the Plymouth Exeter and Bristol company of Virginia.  Boston in England, this is north of London.  There is no London here where I live.  There is Bridgewater, here, and to the southwest is Taunton.  In England, is similar setup.  Taunton is to the southwest of Bridgewater, same thing, similar at least.  But there is no Raynham in the middle.  This is a Boston thing it seems.  Norfolk County is where Raynham in England is.  So maybe this is a enclave of sorts, as Brookline is in the Boston area.  But no, Raynham, where I grew up, is in Bristol County. 

     I also relate Boston to the Sabine country.  And I know a Sabine from Boston area, but German, who introduced me to a few people also.  But here of the Consualia, this year is August 31 of the Gregorian Calendar, which is August 21 of the Roman lunar metonic cycle calendar, which is 19 solar years with 235 lunations.

     Overall for the most part, I understand the current British money system.  Brutus, of Troy.  Britannia.  Roma, 43 AD, or around this time, Londinium.  But here, I look at the roman steel money coins.  The copper plated steel coin is 3.56 grams, this being the decimal system since 1971, therefore 100 pennies equal a pound.  so, (3.56*100)/500*2640 =  1879.68 carob.  This is close to the 1920 carob of the british pound.  1879.68/1920 = 0.979.  this is close to the 2.5% within the realme system, which is of the virginia company of 1606.  You can read this at http://avalon.law.yale.edu/17th_century/va01.asp.  This is the Avalon project at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. 

    I think about the year 1639 for New Haven.  Rodenberg before this, or Red Fort, as the rocks and dirt are quite red around here in places.

      I got 4 signatures of the necessary 50 today to start the Pizza Party Political Designation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Someone else signed it, but they would not give me their home address, they gave me their store address, where I bought some food.  But this is not residence, so this does not count.  Maybe I have pulled into the present.  That'd be nice.  There's still a lot I want to and need to fix.  I got the first person's voter registration information done at the Raynham Town Hall by Helen Lounsbury who is Town Clerk and Justice of the Peace for the Town of Raynham, Massachusetts in Bristol County, USA.  www.town.raynham.ma.us is the website.  This follows the national website system.  This is good. :).  I need 49 more voter registration data sheets, then I have to go back to Boston and see what's next. :).  The Pizza Party, yay, I need 3% of the total voters signed up, then I have an official Political Party, well, that's a lot of work if I'm going to do that. :).

      Pizza, I still haven't had any in the past few days.  I want some.  I have to get some money first though. 

     Last night I went to Barrett's Alehouse.  I had a pizza and a beer for including tip for $5.00.  It was good.  I got about 20 signatures for the Pizza Party of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Today I had beer and Thailand food at the Sugar Cane restaurant in Bridgewater.  It was good.  I helped my parents around the house, and I am back here in Bridgewater.  It is 6:21 pm.  And today is, now is July 1, 2010.  Is the first day of the new fiscal year for the United States and possibly also Massachusetts.  This is now the 2010/2011 budget.  Massachusetts has about a 28 billion dollar budget for this year.  The USA has over a 2 trillion dollar budget.  The income tax goes to washington from all 50 states and the military and territories, and probably other income sources. 

     The birthday for the USA is coming up, of the declaration of Independence from England and Great Britain of July 4, 1776, soon July 4, 2010, so therefore 234 years since.  Soon is coming 240 years.  There are 240 pennies or pence in a pre-decimal British Pound of money Sterling. or £.

     And then there is New Year's.  The new year coming up is 2011.  AD, this is during Augustus Caesar or Octavius's reign, also known as Octavian.  Various things happened during this time including Jesus's youth, but I focus here on Octavius, and Rome, but also can look into Jerusalem and Israel, or Judea province.

     And then I think up to June 2010, or nearly a month ago now.  Things sometimes zip fast forwards, but also sometimes go very slow.  I am almost at net-30 with this here now.  I did have a few orders come through for Wampum World Jewelry Company or www.wampumworld.com, which is programmed, well, it is a part of Joshua L Freeman proprietorship of Massachusetts.  But I do not cash the checks, but its legal structure is of myself of massachusetts.  Therefore as per the program here, is www.life-union.com/0/h/m/Freeman_Joshua-Lee/wampumworld is really what it is according to the structure of my format here.  And what does it have to do with the pizza party, well, I have the pizza party at www.pizzaparty.biz now.

     And I think about 1966.  1966 Corvette Sting Ray.  Then the Aggie School.  Mom and your boss Barbara to the house here in Raynham, brother house of the White Street house.  The Crossman's.  And again to 1966.  The highway.  3 jobs.  Regis College.  23, 21.  Lyndon B. Johnson is the President of the United States.  He is with the Democratic Party.  And what about the Pizza Party during this time? :). 

 

The Blanket

     It's the blanket.  This blanket I saw at Schemitzun August 2006, and my dad and/or mom got it there.  This may be the cause of the problem.  My cat acts really strange around this blanket, feeling tense, screaming a lot.  I put the blanket in my car to put in storage, and it calmed down in here now.  It is a purple and white hiawatha wampum belt blanket, that seems to cause chaos.  hmm.

 

House

      I need a good house to live in finally.  I keep moving and moving and moving, and not happy anywhere I'm living.  My lease is up here August 31st, so this is less than 2 months away.  Again, I'm not happy here in Bridgewater where I've been living since February 26 of this year.  Now it being July 2, I am still not happy here.  It is the festival in honour of Summanus today.  I was thinking about Egyptian things, China, as china is on the opposite side of the earth from here, or close to it.  Heryshaf Egyptian girl, sister of Isis, and Husband of Set.  Woman of the night, in the house.  It is June 20, 2763 of the roman calendar, or from the founding of rome.  But when the girls were got is the important part.  This is of August 21, which is August 31 in my calendar, or the gregorian calendar.  Sabine Rapto.  And this is also the last day of my lease here.

 

Reichsthaler

     I need many reichsthalers to buy and/or buy the land and build a house.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsthaler.  The Dutch Stuiver, Rijksdaalder, these all come as derivatives of the reichsthaler, and possibly also the English stiver, English dollar, American or USA dollar, spanish dollar, again, from the reichsthaler, or a large silver coin.  And then how the copper, brass, and bronze coins come into play with these, often confuses me, but they do fit in though.  Wampum or sewant, seawant, zeewant, zewant, wampumpeage, wampam, wampampeage, wampampeag, peag, peage ... these also fit in.  Exactly how, I am not sure, and then particularly how to give all of these a value with the current US Dollar, Euro, British pound, Canadian Dollar, Mexican Peso, etcetera, this I do not know either right now.

     In 1566, a Reichsthaler is 1/9 of a Cologne mark of silver, with 288 pfennig to the RT i'll call it or rt, 24 groschen to the rt.  There are 9 rt coins per cologne mark or cm, but as a unit of account, there are 12 rt per cm.  This part I do not understand right now.  The mark at 233.856 grams of silver.  233.856/500*2640 = 1234.75968 carob.  I can say maybe that this is 1234 or even 1234.56789 carob per mark.  say 1234*2 = 2468 carob, and at 2468/2640 = about 0.935 of a mna of 500 grams of 2640 carob.  I can see where the British have 0.925, say 2640*.925 = 2442 carob or 1221 carob for a british mark possibly sterling system.  And where this silver weight comes into contact with the unit of account at 75%, copper and copper derivatives such as brass and bronze, and shells of various sorts such as quahog or quahaug, poquahock, mercenaria mercenaria, channeled whelk, busycotypus canaliculatis, spiny oyster, spiny whelk or knobby whelk.  I have to look up the correct spelling of busycotypus up.  Busycotypus canaliculatus, according to channeled whelk article at wikiipedia.  Ok, i spelled it wrong, is tus instead of tis like i spelled it.  Other than that, I am correct, from my memory from months up to a year or so ago.  Pretty good, but not perfect. :). 

 

Cheyenne Mountain

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne_mark.  What does a cologne mark and cheyenne mountain have to do with each other?  well, I was just thinking about the cologne mark and wrote cheyenne mountain before i was thinking about it, or during it, something like that.  So that's what have to do with each other.  It's me! :).

 

Plymouth

     Plymouth has many beaches.  Plymouth Beach, Whitehorse Beach, I think there's Sagamore beach, and many more. :).  This is in Massachusetts, where the Pilgrims came in 1620. :).  Port St. Louis 1605 or so Samuel de Champlain.  Patuxet Wampanoag village.  Johan Kriek Australian Open winner 1981 and 1982 back to back.  From South Africa, and has a tennis academy also for kids.  And then there's Germany, they beat Argentina 4-0 today in the World Cup 2010.  The Netherlands beat Brazil 2-1 yesterday.  The semifinals are coming up soon.  The Netherlands plays Uruguay, and Germany plays the winner of Spain and Paraguay.  http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/index.html

     And now on The Tennis Channel, the guy says get the racket moving quickly.  Arch the back, lots of knee bend, jump, and "get rid of the bee behind your head" he says.  And Tracy Austin is hosting the show.  And next, is adding variety into my game.  And investments, Templeton Investments has an advertisement.  Franklin Templeton Investments.  And now Gold Bond powder.  I was somewhere, yes, Fairhaven, where the Gold Bond powder used to be made.  And now tennis express dot com, www.tennisexpress.com.  I have to go, I'm hungry. :).  Facebook.  Twitter.  and me. :).  Well, and barelifts.  10 lifts for just $20.00.  And now $10 if you call now.  and get double the offer, get 20 bare lifts for $10.  www.barelifts.com.  1 800 936 5040.  good deal. :).  Mastercard, Visa, American Expess, Discover Novus, Check, Debit.  Springbok.  Johan Kriek Tennis Academy.  Slice backhand down the line, with left foot dangle behind and approach net for volley attempted put away. :).  Serve and volley.  Split step.  punch volley.  Keep closing.  Cover the net.  Madrid.  Yes, I was here November 1996. 

 

Madrid

     And Rafael Nadal is in the finals of Wimbledon vs. Thomas Berdych.  It is 10:54 AM on 7/4/2010.  234 years after the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.  Rafael is winning 6-3, 7-5, and is 1-1 in the 3rd set.  From Spain to England and from the Czech Republic to England.  The All England Club, within Britannina.  The All England Club.  Might be spelled Brittannia or Brittania, or any of these combinations. 

     Spain is also in the semifinals of the World Cup 2010 in South Africa versus Germany with Uruguay playing The Netherlands.

     The score if 4-3 in the third set now, Nadal, with Berdych serving.  And Kitten helping me clean. :). 

     Now it is 5-4 in the third set, with Berdych serving, is down Love-15.  Is now down Love-30, Nadal hit a winner down the line with Berdych at net.  Nadal is 2 points from winning Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles 2010. :).

     Now is 15-30.  And there is Lynne Arden's Children Shoppe in New Jersey and Newport.  Now 30-30.  But challenged by Nadal, the serve.  Official Review by Rolex.  And it is in.  McEnroe used to scream a lot, probably still does, without the computer challenge of lines system.  The Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport at Bellevue Avenue.  30 all.  Now is 40-30 Berdych to attempt to bring the score to 5-5.  Belarus.  2nd serve.  Ad Court.  Out, now is Deuce.  Point by point here, live from London 1400 start GST.  Championship Point #1.  L'oeuf Championship?  L'oeuf Championships? 

     Net.  First Serve.  Or Let.  Out, 2nd serve.  Fault.  And he wins.  Rafael Nadal with a forehand cross court.  Lays down on the ground, brown loam on his shirt.  And does a flip forward on the grass.  Takes his head band off and throws it into the crowd, sam with wrist band.  Shirt and Pants and Shoes by Nike with the Nike swoosh.  So, Spain wins Wimbledon this year.  The Spanish King and Queen.  Ibiza.  General Franco.  Rafael also won French Open at Rolland Garros red crushed brick clay courts at Paris, France.  Lutetia.  And now at Londinium.  Uncle coach, of soccer, now to Tennis, switch the hand from left to right.  The Ladies Doubles Championship is coming up.  And Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe back together after the classic 1980 tiebreak.  And now the presentation.

     The Duke of Kent.  Andrew.  Berdych gets the runner up platter.  It is very shiny and Sterling Silver or Silver looking.  The trophies.  And the Champion, Rafael Nadal.  Gets a Gold cup.  The All England Singlehanded Champion of the World.  Rafael receives a replica of this.  Berdych speaks english, the English Speaking world of which I am a part of.  The English Country.  Hertford.  Travelers.  York.  Eboracum.  More than a dream for me Rafael says.

     And Spanish, Madrid, Ibiza, speaking English at London.  From Buckingham Palace to the All England Club.  Rafel missed Wimbledon last year.  The trophy two years ago.  The bedroom, close to the other trophy.  Middleborough Tennis Association, Champion Men's A Singles 2009.  And I think about December 2006 still.  To go back into the past to bring up to the present is a very difficult challenge.

 

Buckingham Palace to Wimbledon

     This link brings me from Buckingham Palace to Wimbledon.  Buckingham Palace to Wimbledon.  I have to type in London after both Buckingham Palace and Wimbledon in http://maps.google.com and then it shows the way.  It is 8.3 miles or about 23 minutes southwest.  And there is a road that circles London, the M25.  We don't have roads that are named like that here in Bridgewater Raynham Taunton area.  We also don't have a one single name that names this area either, or a Metropolitan area here.  We also don't have a tennis club anywhere near close to as good as Wimbledon or the All England Club.  And Wimbledon is a town, but is part of London as a city.  We do not have this concept here.  We also drive on the opposite side of the road, or you do drive on the opposite side of thte road in London, England, and Great Britain.  At least I know you do in England because I have been there in January and February 2004 in Birmingham, Leeds, and London. :).  Fun times.  I want more fun though, even more fun.

     Buckingham Palace is on the north side of the Thames River.  Wimbledon is on the south side of the Thames River.  The All England Lawn Tennis Club is more accurate actually.  Is 7.2 miles or about 22 minutes.  This is the link here.  Buckingham Palace to the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

     The All England Lawn Tennis Club is in Wimbledon Park.  Oh, Rafael he is leftie.  I have to correct this from my earlier saying he is a rightie, well he is a natural rightie.  Kitten.  John McEnroe speaks for NBC Sports interview Rafael Nadal.  John Mc Enroe frmo New York City.  Age 6 play left handed.  7, 8.  Serving well.  Of this match, confidence.  Spin.  On the ad court.  Maybe a little bit advantage to play leftie.  Bite the left corner of the trophy.  First time in Monte Carlo 2005 when I won the first time.  Nadal seems to be a soccer player.  Won Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid.  Inigo Jones designs the fort at New York City.  US Open, Rafael has not won this yet.  And where even to stay in New York City.  I like the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, but there I am sure places I would like better, or being with someone that is for sure.  Again, I think about Inigo Jones and the fort.  This is a good start.  New Move, a championship tumble on center court for Rafael Nadal.

      And now Nadal is signing people's things, books, balls, touching each other, just outside the main Stadium.  Now pictures with the trophy.  Tennis & Croquet Club.  Kitten needs food.  Yes you do.

 

Home

     I am at home right now sitting on the Aqua blue Geldco chair from the headquarters office of the boss in Woonsocket, RI.  This is June 1995 and I am 21 years old.  Kyle Jardim is helping me clear out this jewelry factory, which is at the old Police building in Woonsocket.  Now as of July 4, 2010, this building has long burned down years ago. 

     We cleared most everything, not everything, but most everything, out of the building between July 1995 to about August well, no, I remember it being quite cold by the time Rich Campanini was the last person helping me clear out this building.  Joe Lacerda and Mike Paulin also cleared some things out of this building, but I was not there when they were doing this.  Joe went to college at UMass Dartmouth in September 1993, I was a 3/c cadet at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT or Connecticut on the Thames River across from the Groton US Navy Nuclear submarine base which was just east of where I am, or right across the river where the sun comes up, where the sun rises.  Just to the north of this on the same side of the river of me is the Mohegan Sun and the Mohegan Fairgrounds or Pow Wow grounds, Fort Shantock, which is in August.  In August 1992, I went on the USCGC Barque or United States Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle, formerly Hitler's Nazi German Horst Wessel sounds like Vessel.  The USA took this ship during WWII from Germany and made it America's Tall Ship and gave it to the US Coast Guard, parked at New London, Connecticut. 

 

Augustus and Julius Caesar

     63 BC and 100 BC you are born.  So you are 37 years old when Augustus is born.  I am 36 years old.  And by 44 BC, you are 19 years old.  So this is 20 years in the future, or 2030.  Hopefully I am doing and do much better than this. :).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus  and  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar.  I think about Romulus also.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romulus.  And then I think about Karnak.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnak.  Troy I think or in my mind, Troy or Ilion, Ilium, Troas, this is a colony of Karnak.  And then Alba Longa is a colony of Troy, and Rome is a colony of Alba Longa.  Kitten, and Cats, and then again Karnak.  Why Cats Paint.  Why Paint Cats.  The Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford, for the Hudson River School paintings.  The Redwood Athenaeum in Newport, RI.  The Providence Athenaeum in Providence, RI.  The Boston Athenaeum in Boston, MA.  And the Library Company of Philadelphia, in Philadelphia, PA.

     And then I think about the latitude north of Rome, 41.8917 is the latitude north of the Vestal Temple or Aedes Vestae in Latin and Tempio di Vesta in Italian.  Latinia.  Plymouth, Raynham,
Middleborough, Taunton, Chicago.

Ishtar
    Sarah of Ur, wife of Abram, is the priestess of the Ziggurat of Ishtar, the goddess of love and fetility.  She is the conterpart or the same thing or similar to Inanna, Ashtarte, Aphodite, Isis, Neith, Sarah, Juno ... basically of the woman child bearer of the family and the girl who is in charge of this.  
    I hear the guitar, and the words, but I cannot make up most of the words.  “Fathers be good to your daughters.  Daughters will love like you do.  Girls become lovers, turn into mothers  So mothers be good to your daughters too.”  John Mayer.  This is the song that pretty much sums up Sarah, Ishtar, girls in general.

Pookie Monster
    You are a good pup.  I know you before I see you.  I am at the paper roll at the Quebecor World Color printing press, I am facing south.  And here you are right now too.  You want some steak.

 

White Island Pond

     I am here right now.  Elisa and Tim are here.  This is their lake house, the woods house.  And there is your Raynham house also.  All within the general neighborhood, but I have been away for a while, in many ways.  Not quite sure where, but I did go on a vacation, or a trip, out to outer space, and in many ways not quite back yet, but trying to. :).

     There is the White Island Shores Assocation I think it is.  This pond is in the middle of Wareham and Plymouth.  There were a lot of fireworks yesterday here, the 4th of July, 234.  As the USA is now 234 years old. :). 

 

Titicut Indian Village

      Where I live in Bridgewater right now is where the Titicut Indian Village was.  This was a long time ago though.  Last I remember reading, was the 1700's was last time that the Titicuts lived here, part of the Wampanoag Massachusetts tribes, of the Algonquians.  Now here is called Alden Square after John Alden from the Mayflower.  His descendants ended up on this hill. 

     Across the street from me is the prison, it is just to the west and northwest of me.  It is a Commonwealth of Massachusetts correctional center and hospital.  There are quite a lot of people there.  When I first moved here it was February 26 of this year 2010.  I used to be able to drive through the grounds for the first maybe 2 1/2 or 3 months.  Now I can't and nobody's supposed to unless is for official business there.  People were throwing softballs and stuff into the fences where the inmates are. 

     When I was living in Fall River at Border City Millls, well, coming towards the end of this, I had found this same apartment on Craig's List.  I didnt' come here though and moved across the Taunton River to Swansea.  This was between February 26 2008 to March 31, 2009. 

      I used to have a boy cat, Mousing Mr Belly Rub.  I'm not sure exactly when I gave him up, but it might have been around December 2007.  I had got him sometime in maybe about December 2006 or January 2007, so I had him for about a year.  I got him in Hartford, CT.  Well, maybe I got him before this, I don't remember anymore, but would have been sometime in mid to late 2006 to early 2007. 

 

Links

     I have a lot of links and a picture at the top of this story.  This is from my website which started out as a tripod site, www.tripod.com.  This is my Leafman site originally.  I was Leafman for Halloween 1994.  I saw someone coming down from the Butterfield Dorm area at UMass Amherst central dormitories area.  I was hanging out with Paul Richards.   I'm guessing that it was October 28 or 29, 1994 ... a Friday or Saturday.  I was a junior at UMass Amherst in Amhest, Massachusetts.  Then I think about what county this is in.  Hmm.  :). 

     I just looked Amherst, MA on wikipedia.  It is in Hampshire County, MA.  I think about the Berkshares of Berkshire County and the Berkshires.  Then I was thinking about what if there were Hampshares also.  We don't have a shire here.  It could easly be Loveshire, or L'oeufshire, or Amourshire, or Aldenshire.  If it were Loveshire or L'oeufshire, then LS could be like Pounds and Shillings or Libre and Shillings of the English money system.  Or if it were Amourshire or Aldenshire then it could be AS like in the Roman money system.  Or if it were Titicut, it could be Wampum, but again, I don't know how to make this into a money system that works good enough so that I can get a lot of money or enough money to do the things I want to do.

     According to Wikipedia, Hampshire County was formed in 1662 as part of Middlesex County, which Cambridge is in.  In 1643, Middlesex County was formed as part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony with headquarters in Boston and Charlestown area.  Salem was formed before this and also Cape Ann fishing community up in this general area.

     I think about Cantab Lounge poetry slam spoken word.  This I used to go to with Chris Kojee OkuGami, was Wednesday evening as far as I can remember.  Chris went to Sydney Australia, at least to Australia, in I think it was 2001.  I have not seen him since.  Kyle went to Venice Beach California in Los Angeles in November 1997.  I have not seen him since. 

     Hampshire County is part of the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission at www.pvpc.org.  I am not sure why they got rid of the county system here, but it was in 1999 that the counties were disbanded, I'd say not overall the best idea.  It's headquartered in Springfield, MA.  Hampshire County used to be headquartered in Northhampton.  I used to have a girlfriend in Northampton at Smith College in September through October 1994.  Paul Richards and Karen Kaneps invited me to a party at Karen's dorm at Smith College in September 1994.  I brought a few guys from my dorm at Webster Hall on Orchard Hill at UMass Amherst.  Karen was trying to get me to know one of her friends from the Women's or Girl's tennis team at Smith College who also played squash.  I just wasn't that interested for some reason.  I had met her in I think it was 1993 when I went up to UMass Amherst to visit Paul while I was a cadet at the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT or Connecticut.  I brought Fabio Zapata from the academy with me.   He is from Columbia Naval Academy, he went the Academy.  We played tennis at Smith College indoor tennis facility with Paul, Karen, and Karen's friend.  I don't remember her name right now.  I have not remembered her name for a while now.

     I wake up with the sun since December 2006.  I am not sure how this started, but I met Elise on Monday and then Nicole on Sunday, December 11 and December 16.  It was a lot of energy then, I still have the soccer ball, but well, I am by myself here.  It now being July 2010, time just keeps moving along. 

     When I woke up this morning, was around 5am, I am thinking about how since at least 1997, if not 1995 or 1994, but definitely 1997, I think in terms of years, and not necessarily how old I am.  And then I was 23 then, now I am 36.  My youth just flew by and I didn't do a real whole lot except mostly sit around the Raynham area at my parents house.  I have certain memories of it, but I did sleep a lot of it away.  And now that I am 36, I am probably sleeping possibly more now.  It is just boring for me here. 

     I don't know if I have lost interest in the Pizza Party, but it is less of an exciting thing for me now that a week has gone by.  I feel like doing other things besides run around to town halls.  But Emily at the Barrett's Ale House, she was kind of provoking me or giving me the energy to get signatures.  Maybe she wants to help me run around to these different towns now.  I don't know, I suppose I can go to the bar there and ask her, or see what she says if she wants to do more with it, or some girl.   

     This has been going on over 10 years now with this line.  I am not sure if this is coming to a close, is possible.  Too much time may have gone on now.  It was a 10 years come about June 3 and 4 of this year, because around June 3, 4, or 5 of 2000 I met Anke at the gym, Bridgewater Fitness Center, on the stair stepper.  Well, she or you were on this machine at the gym.  And last person really in this line is Nicole.  I had called Sabine from one of my journals, Sabine's phone number I have in there.  I was living in Hartford, it maybe was about September or October 2006, maybe earlier, like sometime in the summer.  And it took a few months before Sabine found a job and a place to live, which was included in her job, and came over here.  She ended up at the Anderson School in Staatsburg, Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New York State, up on the Hudson River near Poughkeepsie.

     My plan was to go up into the Cambridge area near to or at Harvard College.  This was as of October 2006.  I veered way off this plan and still have not even come close to doing it.

     Theophilus Eaton came over to Boston and went down and set up a port between Boston and New Amsterdam at what is now New Haven.  This seems to be the launching pad area to take New Amsterdam, which the English did in 1665, and renamed it New York.  Then from my reading of the Theophilus Eaton wikipedia article, a group of settlers who set up New Haven went to set up New Ark or New Work, which became Newark, NJ of today, to the south of New York.  Newark from my reading, again at Wikipedia, is the largest city in New Jersey and the county seat of Essex County.

     And reading about Newark, I look at Google Maps, and I see Jersey City to the east of this.  I think about when I worked at Boston Equiserve, which then became Equiserve, or vice versa. 

     I worked here from about March or April 1999 to August 1999.   It was a call center for stock companies.  I remember, at least I think I remember Exxon Mobil gas station.  Maybe, I'm not really sure, but maybe.  I had to send out prospectuses for the customers.  This is all I remember really.  I had moved back in with my parents in June 1996 from UMass Dartmouth.  I was finishing up school and I really should have got my own apartment, but I was not thinking this way.  It didn't take long before they were really driving me crazy.  It's an old attitude and thought process, just an old feeling, which just bothers me.  There are old people with youthful outlooks and being, but then there are old people, or middle aged people, with old ideas and an old spirit.  This part I just don't like.  I just reject it.  And so this is what happened, and this is why as of not even three years later, I have very little memory.  The stress just was really getting to me by then.

     And Jersey City is in Hudson County NJ.  And then I think about Bergen County, and Hackensack.  The lady at the Aptuxcet Trading Post in Bourne, MA as part of the Bourne Historical Society, I don't remember her name right now, but she told me that the Dutch Wampum trade was centered at Hackensack and I should call or contact them there to find out.  And then I think about the Salem Iron Works.  A guy, well the grounds keeper or well one of the guys working at the Aptuxcet Trading Post told me I should call or go up to Salem, I think it is Salem, no it is something that starts, yes, the Saugus Iron Works.  I was talking about Raynham and how there was an iron works here, and in 2012 is 350 years of the iron works. 

     And my reading online about the Saugus Iron Works, this was started in 1646, so before the Raynham Iron Works or the Taunton Iron Works, same place which started in 1652 under Oliver Cromwell as the leader in England.  So this seems to have gotten started during Charles I of England, hmm. :).  And I do a parallel, well first I check out who the parents of Charles I are.  Is Anne of Denmark and James I of England VI of Scotland are his parents.  And then I look to see if Anne or James have French ancestry, and they do not seem to.  So then I think about the parallel, who is the French King and Queen in 1646.  Now is just confusion as far as I can see, since at least the 1850's, with Louis Philippe and Richard Morris Hunt over there helping and learning at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.  but as for 1646, so about 200 years before, hmm. :).  And this is Louis XIV as King of France from 1643 to 1715.  So this entire time Raynham was getting started and growing, including the Saugus Iron Works, this was during Louis XIV.  And his father Louis XII this was 1610 to 1643.  So when the Pilgrims were here, this was Louis XIII.  But the guy, the french guy, he came here about 1605 and mapped this area, well at least Plymouth, he called Port St. Louis, this is, hmm, Champlain.  Samuel de Champlain.  This is 1589 to 1610, when Henry IV was King of France, or King of the French, or King of France, something like this, Rui.  And his son is Louis, so maybe as per the name of Port St. Louis, as Louis is the future Louis XIII of France. :).

     And I see one of his daughters is Henrietta Maria, Queen of England and Scotland.  Hmm.  She is the wife or married Charles I, so therefore Charles II and James II, they are French.  Hmm.  1649 to 1651 as King of Scotland.  Then a military government by George Monck, reminds me of Russell Monk at Brown Ballroom Dancing, at least the name, and possibly style also.  Which I stay around here lately, but for different reasons, short girls.  Slip of the tongue, but thinking about Nicole or at least some tall girl, as I like dancing with a tall girl.

     Well, the descendancy at least Royal Descendancy of Charles II and James II didn't work out very well.  Maybe the English were resistant to having their mother being French, therefore they French in Nature.  Henry IV married a French girl first, and produced no children, this was annulled in 1599, and then married Marie de Medici.  They had six children between the years of 1601 to 1609.

     Then I think about Victoria of England, and the Victorian Era.  I think about the years that Victoria was in her child bearing years.  This was 1840 to 1857.  In 1836, Victoria met her future Husband Albert.  Victoria came to the throne when she was 18 in 1837, and married Albert in 1840 when she was 20 years old.  Albert lived until 1861 and Victoria lived until 1901.  This is all within the time that sometimes I get this vibes of this apartment in the barn behind the farmhouse by the Prison here at Titicut Indian Village or Titicut Reservation, more like the indian village, in the southern part of Bridgewater, closer to Middleborough and the Nemasket and Taunton or Titicut River where they meet.  I am just isolated here, still, as I have been isolated for quite some time now.

    Albert II is the current King of Belgium. :).  Albert II is born at Stuyvenberg Castle in Brussels, and marries Donna Paola Margherita Maria Antonia Consiglia, Princess ruffo di Calabria.  She is born September 11, 1937.  And I think about Brussels and the European Union Headquarters.  Then I think about Siim Kallas and Estonia.  Then I think about September 11, 2001.  This is 64 years after 1937, a round number, the music number, 64.

 

Tennis things in my apartment

     I should put a lot of tennis things in my apartment.  The International Tennis Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is today.  I want to build a tennis training center up here around where I live in the Raynham Bridgewater Easton Taunton Lakeville area.  There is not a single name for this area, but it is here, some say Southeastern Massachusetts, but still this is not a single area.  L'oeuf City, L'oeuf, Tennis, Palladium, Titicut, whatever is the name, I don't have anything as per tennis in my apt.  With the induction ceremony, people have their stuff put into the Casino in Newport as it's called by the tile in the floor.  Then I think about Chateaux, so maybe I can call this area Chateaux?  as the answer to Casino in Newport.  And then L'oeuf crosses my mind also.  But Chateaux is a direct answer, and if it is the Casino Newport, then I think about Chateaux L'oeuf with L'oeuf being the city name here.

 

Hudson River

     I am looking at my picture here, I am standing on the east bank of the Hudson River in upstate New York, but not too far upstate.  NYC isn't all that far away, down the river about an hour and a half or so.   Big huge city.  Ocean Power.  Then there is the  

 

August 1998

      It's getting dark out.  It's 8:59pm on 7/12/2010, so July 12, 2010.  The summer is coming to the center point.  It is the Kalends Quintilis or the first light after the new moon of the 5th moon of the year.  The year starts at the first light after the new moon before or at the spring equinox.  Julius Caesar, full name Caius Julius Caesar, or in Latin letters CAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR reeformed the calendar, or attempted to put it to an Egyptian solar calendar at 46 bc.  He was killed in 44 bc.  This leads me to think that the people didn't like this calendar very much, or at least the way he did it.  But 2056 years later, we still use it.  In reality, the calendar year should start when Julius started this new calendar we're in.  This wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar says that the first year of operation of this calendar is 45 BC. 

45 = 1st year

44 = 1 year old

34 = 11

24 = 21

14 = 31

4 = 41

3 = 42

2 = 43

1 = 44

1 ad = 45

101 ad = 145

201 ad = 245

1990 ad = 2034

1991 ad = 2035

1992 ad = 2036

1993 ad = 2037

1994 ad = 2038

1995 ad = 2039

1996 ad = 2040

1997 ad = 2041

1998 ad = 2042

1999 ad = 2043

2000 ad = 2044

2001 ad = 2045

2002 ad = 2046

2003 ad = 2047

2004 ad = 2048

2005 ad = 2049

2006 ad = 2050

2007 ad = 2051

2008 ad = 2052

2009 ad = 2053

2010 ad = 2054 CC or cc = Caius's Calendar, as Caius is the first name of Julius, where Julius is your family name, of gens julia or IVLIA

2010 ad = 2055 cc

     If I start thinking too hard, then I start thinking about Romulus, 2763.  And then before this is Joshua and Moses, who knows what year this was, maybe about 3200 - 3400 years ago, something like this.  Julius had a son with Cleopatra in Alexandria or around this area.  He didn't make it to have kids of his own as far as history says.  And what of Alexandria now?  And studying Alexandria on Wikipedia, it says that this city's name is Ra Kedet or RAQD.T in latin letters, and that Alexander renamed it or people around him at this time did. 

     When I think of Kedet, I think of 48 carob beans of copper or bronze.  As a Qedet or Kedet is 1/10 of a New Kingdom Deben of about 480 carob beans weight.  A Carob bean as I said earlier at 500/2640 grams or a little less than 0.2 grams, or a little less than a metric carat.

    John Cabot or Giovanni Caboto of Genoa or around this area.  Alexander VI is pope and Henry VII is king of England.  Charles VIII is king of france.  I ought to study this time frame more.  Is about 1492 timeframe of the rulers in Europe and elsewhere around the globe, or earth.  Not sure what's going on over here though. :).  The House of Valios of which Charles VIII is head, rules france at this time.  My family from my grandma's side is here.  My mother's mother, Lena Lamoureux with Bury as married name to Matthew Henry Bury, Polish.

     And I think about 2763 ab urbe condita or auc, from the founding of the city.  This is what the internet says, I will look up these words myself on notre dame english latin translator or latin english translator http://archives.nd.edu/latgramm.htm.  ab = from.  urbe = city.  condita = founding.  So, from the city founding or from the city agreement.  Ok, so this is right. 

     2763 - 2055 = 708 years.  So, Egypt was at about 700 years.  And there is a different or maybe more advanced, maybe not, is a solar calendar, or some sort of calendar, such as the sothic dog star calendar, perihelion aphelion sun earth calendar, various star calendars, seasonal sun calendar, lunar metonic cycle calendar, and maybe other calendars also. 

     There's a good book called Calendrical Calculations which explains some of these calendars, I read some of it around February 2005 when I was living in Charlestown, RI at the Surfside Motor Inn.  I also studied the Roswell Incident there in more detail.  Something about there that allowed me or helped me concentrate on studying Roswell, maybe the power of the ocean, maybe something else also.

 

Beer

     I'm nearing the end of my beer that I have here.  I'd say overall I'm drinking in boredom.  It's extremely boring here at Titicut.  I think about the year 1614.  At least one British ship came to the east of here at what's now Plymouth and took back to england some natives here or possibly some titicut indians.  Wampanoags, Patuxets, Algonquians, Native Ameriacns, Indigenous Americans, whatever is the word, there was also the small pox that was left behind here, which by 1620, most of the Indians here were dead.  This is not even 400 years ago, and the death rate happened in less than 6 years. 

     One of the Indians well, Venus Williams is playing Amelie Mauresmo, this is 114 miles per hour serve by Venus.  This is the year 2002 I believe.  A replay on the tennis channel.  US Open 2002, Venus wins and is through to the finals.  3 sets 3 6, 7 5, 4 6.  IBM. 

 

Cooped Up

     I don't like this cooped up feeling, or accuracy that I have here.  And here is Andre April 2006 talking about playing his last US Open.  Flashing, Energy, Color.  Dice, Vegas.  Looking white, but from Iran.  Persia.  And maybe is, but next year, also possibly getting inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, RI.  At Aquidneck Island, just as New York is at Manhattan Island.  But New York grew out throughout the entire Manhattan Island and also spilled out into the other towns and cities absorbing most of them, where Newport grew out as a county, but as a city, stuck to the southern part of Aquidneck Island.

 

Bollettieri

     Interesting, is Bud Collins speaking about Andre and his dad Mike, but sounds like Nick Bollettieri.  I met Nick at his academy in Florida March 1995.

     This energy is too hard.  I need to lighten this up.  My song sheet fell on the floor.  Maybe this means that I should play some of these songs.  My guitar is against the wall, Johnson guitar.  Cadets are the younger sons.  Interesting how the Coast Guard Academy calls the kids who go there Cadets.  I was a cadet in 1992 - 1994.  I wanted to go to Harvard but didn't get in.  1986 to 1993 Nick Bollettieri was Andre's tennis coach.  7 in a room.  Knew each other from juniors.  Jim Courier and Andre Agassi.  Andre had the long hair.  Sneaking off campus, going out, getting a few drinks.  Sneak into girls rooms.  Saturday night going to the mall.  Nicole does tell me to go walk around the mall.  Here is the Silver City Galleria that I like to walk around in Taunton, well, East Taunton, which is a part of Taunton.  It is 1:40am on 7/13/2010, is 5/1/2763.  In any case, this environment that I'm living in for way too long, I need things to lighten up.  Too much wilderness for too long.  2nd round of the 2006 US Open is Andre's last win.  So, this was probably August 2006.  I was possibly spending time with the Narragansetts then as the after the Schemitzun.  Officially I was living in Hartford at 23-F Bushnell Tower at 1 Gold Street across from the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum of Fine Art and Auerbach Art Library.

    1991 Andre loses to David Wheaton in the quarterfinals or finals.  In 1992, Boris Becker was there.  Andre beat Boris, who had won Wimbledon before.  Andre was playing McEnroe.  Andre beat McEnroe.  John McEnroe who had won Wimbledon.  He played Goran Ivanesevic.  spelling?   Goran was at the academy also.  Andre won.  This is June 1992, I was dating Tricia, Patricia Freeman then.  I had not yet met Brie Priestley at the mall, the silver city galleria.  I was in motion to go to the United States Coast Guard Academy for July 7, 1992, in New London, New London County, Connecticut State in USA - Part of the 5-star system which I call it. 

     Agassi is married to Steffi Graf now and as far as I know, they have a school in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I see online and heard on the tennis channel, they partnered with Longines to raise money for charity.  Agassi is 40 now.  I am 36.  Steffi is 41 now.  I am a few years younger than these 2.  They are 1 and 2 years older than Paul Richards, who I used to play tennis with and who used to live a few houses from where I lived in Raynham on Pleasant Street.

      Brad Gilbert coach 1994 - 2002 for Andre Agassi.  Getting people ready for Andre's induction July 2011.  Bud Collins The Boston Globe.  1994 to the US Open unseeded and beat 5 seeded players to win the title.  He was married to Brooke Shields then.  Andre finished the year at #2 in the world.  Started the next year with the Australian Open in January 1995.  Andre won this one.  In January 1995, I was at my parents house in Raynham getting ready to start my spring semester at UMass Amherst with a Apparel marketing degree study.  I was still recovering from my broken left collarbone clavicle in November 1994, a few months before.  That was a bad break, and still hurts.

 

Bridgewater Fitness Center

     Specifically, I joined the BFC last year because I had joined the Lakeville Athletic Club and was out of shape.  I wanted to work out, so I joined the BFC where I had belonged to before, to try to get in shape.  I won the Middleborough Tennis Association Men's A for this summer, the summer of 2009.  I was living in Taunton, Masaschusetts in Bristol County last summer. 

     I spent the winter.  Hall of Fame  Player/Commentator is the blurb for John McEnroe on the Tennis Channel.  I met John McEnroe in the summer of 2008, I was living in Swansea then.  John played at the Champions series at the hall of fame.  He got thrown out the day before for swearing at someone in the audience at center court.  He came back the next day and I met him afterwards as he was walking off or had walked off the center court towards the locker rooms maybe.  I met him at the center court area though, there were a lot of people there. 

      1995 US Open semifinals vs Boris Becker.  Agassi won.  Agassi vs Sampras 1995 US Open Finals.  Probably was September 1995.  I was playing football at UMass Dartmouth, 3rd string kicker.  Sampras won.  Agassi was phasing out, and Sampras was coming to.  Pete is age 38 now, so is 2 years younger than Andre, and 2 years older than me.  Agassi won the gold metal at Atlanta 1996 Olympics.  Jim Courier is 39, so is a year younger than Andre and a year older than Pete.  They all grew up on Bollettieri's. 

     This is Nick Bollettiere, aged 78 now, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Bollettieri.  And this is his academy.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Bollettieri_Tennis_Academy.  I am getting tired.  Forest Hills is after Newport.  I am far from there.  Never been, and rarely go to New York.  www.tennischannel.com/budcollinshistoryoftennis and there is also Tennis Channel Academy with host Tracy Austin.  Tracy is 47.  I met Gigi Fernandez 2 days ago in Newport at the Hall of Fame.  I might have mentioned this, not sure.  She is 46. 

     1998 Andre got back to 6th in the tour after dropping to about 140.  Fisher Island staying to play the Key Biscayne Tournament.  Agassi Prep in Las Vegas http://www.agassiprep.org/.  for Now, but what does that Now mean.

     You can obviously see I'm not very interested in the BFC.  I talk about tennis mostly, as I do there.  There is very little interest with the people at BFC.  I joined here in June 1994 with people who didn't play tennis or played very little.  Neighborhood kids of which I still talk to one, Rich Campanini Jr. or II who joined BFC in 1993.  He had been in the Marine Corps for a few weeks at boot camp, I had come back from the Coast Guard Academy.  Joe talked me into joining, Joe is Rich's first cousin.  Joe was in the Army National Guard.  Kyle was Joe's best friend at BR High School, Kyle worked out with us also.  This was the summer of 1994.  thecotillion @ life-union.com this is how it is for my system here. 

     And I went to the banquet at Fanieul Hall, was during the week.  I cancelled my doubles tennis match on the clay at Lakeville Athletic Club.  My partner Gary Cohen quit for the season.  He had cancelled the first 2 matches and my opponents had cancelled the next 2 matches.  Things work or they don't, and I had cancelled this time.  I haven't played tennis in a month or so now, maybe more.

     Sportsmens club is a little too far away for me.  To expensive to drive there and back.  And around here, there is Easton Tennis Club, it is still a little far, about a half hour away, and I can't find any tennis there.  There is Lakeville is about 15-20 minutes from here, a little far, and again I don't have any matches there.  There are no tennis clubs in Raynham or Bridgewater.  There is the Edgewood tennis club, which is a private summer club.  There is the red clay at the french open rolland garros.  More specifically crushed red brick.  I played on this a long time ago in Connecticut, it must have been 1996, I think it was a 5.0 USTA New England tournament.  I don't think i did very well in this tournament.
