keith, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

When children come into the world they love their parents, as they get older they judge them.  Sometimes they forgive them.

Author Oscar Wilde

Guess who sent those words to me via text at 09:57 PM.  Glenda.  Interesting, right?  Just thought I would share. 

what's keith DOING AT THE JHR SHELTER?

Today was a beautiful day.  The temperature topped at around 70 degrees with partly cloudy skies.  After my daily visit to the library, I took a short walk around the harbor.  Today there happened to be a street performer entertaining a crowd of at least 150 people.  I made it in time to catch the last 20 minutes of his performance and donated a quarter as the crowd walked off.  Of course, I walked back to JHR where I have done nothing until now except read a book and paint my finger nails.

In case your wondering, I opted to paint the nails of my ring finger with Night Flight by Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color and I used Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.  I have to say that Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color really impresses me.  It has to be the best line of nail polish that I have used, although, to be honest, I haven't tried many.  The brush is awesome, tapered at the ends and of ease to use.  The formula is awesome, only requiring one to two coats and it dries fairly quickly.  Too bad my experience with other Sally Hansen products haven't been so swell.  It's no secret why the dollar store is always stocked with Sally Hansen products.  I'm just saying.

You know I'm bored if I'm rattling on about some nail polish.  Good night.

what's keith DOING AT THE JHR SHELTER?

I'm spending another Friday night in the shelter.  In fact, I have been here all of 3 months and 2 days.  If only I had a substance abuse problem, I would have been had some form of housing.  Again, I relinquish all control and put it in God's hands.  That doesn't stop me from feeling depressed.  The sad thing is that the last time I actually went out at night was with Teon Jackson's nephew, Teon.  (Yes, Teon and his nephew share the same name.)   We went to go see the oh so boring kid movie How To Train A Dragon and that was a little over a year ago.  FML.  Will things ever get better?  I'm starting to see why one would turn to drugs.  And I'm starting to see how one can live a lifetime of poverty.

keith, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

On 4/28/2011 at 08:54 PM, Glenda sent me the following text message.

Please stop callin me.  Call when u ready to get everything.  Thanks.  Tired of drama n tired of seeing u with makeup.

Now I don't know what I'm going to do.  I guess I'll have to find a local laundromat to wash my clothes and I 'll have to do without any kind of recent music to listen to.  Her wish is my command.  Lord, I told you that I'm leaving it all to you.  I'm done and I'm tired as well.

who's keith PRAYING FOR?

Lord, I pray for all of those affected by the devastating tornado.  Shine your light for the affected families and let them know that through you, anyone can whether the strongest of storms.  I also pray for Glenda.  While she will not answer my phone calls, I'll put it all in your hands.  I'm a control-freak, but I relinquish control over this situation.  Everyday that I wake I know that I am truly blessed and I know that things will get better.  Thank you for all that you have done and for all that you will do.  I thank you in advance.

Amen.

who's hitting on keith AT THE JHR SHELTER?

Hit on again while in the showers.  This guy is 46.  He kind of got me in trouble cause I was trying to hide my hard-on while he was talking to me.  This guy might get it too.  Wow.  It seems like everybody who's nice to me turns out to be interested in me.  I get it now.

is keith "RIDIN' SOLO"?

"Ridin' Solo" by Jason Derulo

It's crazy because I feel like I've been "ridin' solo" my entire life. I'm very much a loner. In fact, if I had not been in such a hurry to gain companionship, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be in my predicament.  But you live and you learn, right?  And I've learned to never settle and that it's okay to by myself.  Not that anyone would even want me considering that I'm now damaged goods.


why is keith GETTING ARRESTED?

Yes.  Yes.  Yes.  After so many close calls within the past six months, I have finally been arrested.  And for what?  Shoplifting at Target.  Yes, I was finally caught.  After the hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise I have stolen from that store, I get caught on Monday April 25, 20111 with shoplifting in the amount of $14.29.  And the only reason I was arrested and not just given a citation is because I lied to the detaining officer.  I told him that I did not have any ID on me when I really did.  When I finally pulled it out, it was too late.  My credibility was shot and the damage was done. 

I'm not even going to go into detail about taking two steaming hot rides in the back of the wagon, which they call it, one to the Western District Police Station and finally to Central Booking.  I'm not even going to go into detail about waiting in one pissy-smelling cell after another at Central Booking.

And just as a side note...

Those correctional officers are honestly the most ghetto and stupidest group of girls I have ever been around.  I mean it's as if the human resources for law enforcement went straight to the hood for recruitment.  And they were all ugly and overweight minus a small few.  Shit.  I'm sure most of them have a record.  I should have applied for a position as a CO all long time ago even though I don't think I have the stamina for it.  It's not a glamorous job, but it is an easy one for sure.

[Sorry for that brief intermission.]

I'm not going to talk about the fact that my perfect record is now tarnished.  I just hope I get off easy.  I mean, I'm nowhere near as reckless and fucked up as most to the young guys coming in and out of jail.  My court date is set for May 5, 2011 at 08:30 AM at 1400 E. North Ave.  The punishment for my crime could result in 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine.  I just hope they let me go scotch free or rather just give me a couple hours of community service.  I'll even take a small fine even though I can't afford it.

Man.  Why did I get myself into this mess?  I'm so stupid.  I should have seen the signs, especially this trip.  I just knew I was being followed and watched. 

Well, I think I learned my lesson.  I just don't want this misdemeanor to impose on any future employment.  Sitting in Central Booking in a small crowded cell for all of 12 hours was just not worth it.

Lord, please let me get off the hook.  If there is a God, please show your mercy and release me.  So be it.   

P.S.  My mug shots are stellar.  I look like a sad and cute puppy dog with my chubby cheeks.  My profile is hot while my front shot is of me looking towards the ground.  I look so coy and innocent and like America's Next Top Model.  Okay, I'm pushin' it.  But I look good.  And no, my Revlon PhotoReady foundation did not last through this whole fiasco.  When I got back to the shelter and looked in the mirror, it was blotchy, streaky, and practically off my face.  I need to take a break from that foundation anyway.  I think it's the cause of a few major pimples on my face after repeated use this past week.  To be honest, it even looked a little green on me yesterday.  I don't know if it was due to the green top I was wearing or what but I looked kind of like a flawless wicked witch from the west.  Today, I opted for a mix between E.L.F. tinted moisturizer in Espresso and dial 1 of Revlon Custom Creations in medium/deep.  Girl, whenever a foundation is too dark, I mix a little of dial 1 and it's a dream.  I always love the results. 

I might as well do a quick face of the day.  This would be my first.

That's all.  After what I've been through earlier, I played it low key.  I didn't even sleep yet.  I'll take a nap soon.

P.P.S  Another one of the staff hit on me today, however what's different is that this guy might get it.  He's not attractive but somehow I'm attracted.  I have a boner just thinking about this guy eating me out and fucking me.  I'll jack off to him a little later.  Now, I'm off to the post office.  I have to mail some health care papers.  I'm trying to get some free health care.  You feel me.

P.P.P.S.  I just finished taking a walk around the harbor.  I had a Chocolate and Peanut Butter Italian Ice from Rita's while getting some much needed Vitamin D.  It was all deja vu and you already know with who- memories of our strolls through the harbor.  I really miss him so much, yet I don't talk to him.  While sitting in the jail cell yesterday, all I could think about was Teon and how great it would have been to go home and sleep my worries away in his arms.  I miss his hugs, his kisses, even his BO.  LOL. 

And before I finally end this post, while finishing my stroll and upon reaching the shelter, a guy recognized me through the resemblance I share with Glenda.  Why?  I don't look anything like Glenda.  My face doesn't sag like a cocker spaniel or I don't have large pores the size of craters.  Well, to be honest, I guess I do kind of resemble her, but I DON'T need a reminder.  On to the next.

why is keith AWAKE AT THE JHR SHELTER?

Because JHR decided to have a fire drill.  Yes, at 12:30 in the AM.  WTF is right.  Now I can't seem to sleep.  Looks like I'll be taking a double dose of sleeping pills tonight.

who's keith MEETING AT THE JHR SHELTER?

Marvin K. Dessaure, another young fellow who resides here at the shelter.  He's been here for all of about two weeks now and today we actually carried on somewhat of a conversation.  Marvin just turned 25 years of age on April 6th and he's from New York.  He says that he's at the shelter because he and his dad don't get along.  Tell me about it.  What I have yet to mention is that Marvin is a tall and bonefied cutie.  He, like me, stands out here. 

So, is he gay?  I think so.  And no, I'm not checking for him.  He's not my type.  I just hope that we can become friends.  I know that's a little far fetched but I would definitely like to get to know him.  But who am I kidding?  I'm probably bound to stay friendless for my entire life.  I'm too much of an introvert.  So for now, I'll just pray for him and wish him the best.

By the way, it looks like I'll be enjoying Easter Sunday at JHR.  My first major holiday at the shelter.  I'm sure the church will stop by to feed us.  My life sucks, for real.  If only I were rich.

what's keith NOT DOING?

I still have yet to get tested for HIV.  While being questioned at the clinic Monday before last, I had lied to the nurse practitioner.  She asked me when was my last HIV test.  I told her two weeks ago and that the results were Negative or Non-responsive.  Again, I know that prolonging my diagnosis is only harming my health.  I'm skinnier now more than I have been since my junior year of high school and I think it's due to my rapid HIV infection.   I can't seem to keep any weight on and I constantly have persistent rashes which look like boils and hives that I uncontrollably scratch every evening.  I think those symptoms are due to HIV if not herpes.  And that leaves us with the last big blunder, Hepatitis C, which I might also have.  I don't know.  I don't even know if I really have HIV or even AIDS.  The only way to know is to get tested and I'm still afraid to.  I guess in the meantime, I'll bask in this decade long asymptomatic phase before I wilt and die.  Even now, I can't blame anyone else for my actions.  I guess I really don't love myself as much as I thought, huh?

what's keith LISTENING TO?

what's keith DOING AT LEXINGTON MARKET?

New change of pace today.  I'm writing after just finished eating at Lexington Market.  Just wanted to inform the world that since I've been taking my doxycycline pills, I haven't had persistent diahrea.  Upon further investigation, anal chlamydia can actually cause diahrea as well swelling of the anus.  I really couldn't tell if my anus was swollen, but thank God my persistent diahrea is over with.  I will never have sex without a condom again.  I love myself too much now.  Damn.  If only I loved myself this much two years ago.  All's well that ends well.

what's keith USING NIGHTLY?

I am a huge advocate for using anti-aging skin care products.  In fact, I highly believe that everyone should be using anti-aging skin care products no matter his age.  And of course, everyone knows that the night time is the best time to apply your anti-aging skin care products.  So what products do I use nightly?  Here they are.

Right after I cleanse and tone my skin, I apply a generous amount of Roc's Multi-Correxion Night Treatment every night.  This product contains Retinol and claims to visibly diminish multiple signs of aging such as brown spots, wrinkles, and the appearance of pores.  It can be used alone or under your daily moisturizer, however I tend to use this product alone.  

So what do I think?  First, let me state that I am a huge fan of the entire Roc Skin Care Brand as well as this product.  When I use Roc's products, I always notice the results.  I tend to scar very easily.  I have multiple scars on my body as well as my face due to acne, hives, injuries... what have you, and I have to say that the hyperpigmentation on my face is nowhere near as pigmented as the other scars on my body.  With that being said, this product does a great job at evening out my skin tone.  However, I don't think it does a good job at combating wrinkles.  Now, I'm young, male, and African American, so I don't really have a problem with wrinkles, but I don't really notice any improvement with the slight wrinkles that I do have.  I must also note that this product is not very moisturizing and to be honest, I don't see how any product that is not moisturizing can benefit wrinkles.  But to give this product a little credit, it's designed to be used in addition with your nightly moisturizer.  Finally, I can't really speak on the claim that it minimizes pores being as though I don't have a problem with enlarged pores.  Thank god.

Another staple in my nightly skin care regime is Roc's Retinol Correxion Eye Cream.  Apparently, it's a winner of Allure's Editor's Choice Award and I know exactly why.  It really does fulfill all of its claims.  Now, I first mentioned this product HERE and I have to say that I owe Roc an apology.  Fortunately, it was not the cause of my swollen eye.  I have since found the culprit.  But that's besides the point.  Let's get back to the review.  This product also contains the vitamin, Retinol and it claims to visibly reduce wrinkling and puffiness around the eyes as well as evening out dark circles.  I am a huge sufferer of under-eye wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles and I have to say that I notice a reduction in all three flaws.  In fact, my dark circles have been almost diminished entirely.

In closing, I just want to acknowledge the efficacy of Roc's skin care products.  I have been a consistent user of their products for about a year and a half now and I have to say that I am really impressed.  This France-based skin care line is phenomenal and truly delivers results unlike many other skin care lines that I have tried.  In fact, I would have to say that Roc actually does a better job than Olay.  Yeah, I said it and you heard it here first. 

who's sticking up for keith AT THE JHR SHELTER?

Remember Mannie, the old guy that won't leave me the fuck alone.  Well, he almost got his ass whipped like 5 minutes ago.

Here's the story...  I'm minding my business.  Mannie comes over to me.  He starts with his wise talk and he expresses his disgust with me for blowing him off lately.  Well, one of my neighbors, Fred is his name, chimes in and asks if I'm alright after Mannie starts with his threatening demeanor.  And that's when shit hit the fan.  Fred got up and was about to get ready to throw down with Mannie.  Good thing it didn't happen but I feel really good that someone was willing to fight in my honor.  I pray for Fred for doing so because he didn't have to. 

Today was full of surprises.  It started earlier with the whole "downsize" fiasco.  I had the luxury of taking the elevator with my stuff when going outside, however I was forced to take the steps coming back in.  We're talking five flights of steps and two heavy bags.  Luckily, I had the help of a couple people because I didn't know how I was going to make it.  I was dragging my duffel bag up the steps while trying to hold a large trash bag filled with my stuff.  One person helped me carry the duffel bag  up one flight of steps.  Then my angel came.  He grabbed my duffel bag and said, "I got it."  He picked it up and carried it up two flights of steps.  Once we got to the fifth floor, he said, "I saw you struggling and I couldn't let you do that."  I felt so touched in that moment.  I glanced him a grateful smile and said, "Thanks."  I wish I could have done more for him yet I know my lord will bless him for that.  I don't see me grabbing another young guy's duffel and carrying it up the steps.  But that young fellow helped me out.  What a blessing?  I hope I remember that young guys face because I owe him one.

Also today, while leaving Lexington Market, another young lady said, "You are so cute," and I replied, "Thanks."  Thank God I'm beautiful. ;-)

There's still nine more hours in the day.  Hopefully, I can get through it in one piece.  To be honest, I'm really starting to fear Mannie.  He's certified crazy and I know I'm going to feel the backlash from this damn near death match.  You should have seen Mannie's face.  He looked like he was going to cry.  Trust, he's not as hard as he tries to portray himself to be.  I hope he gets the hint and just leaves me the fuck alone.  God, please do something about Mannie.

what STD is keith HARBORING?

I went to the Druid STD Clinic to get tested for syphilis.  While I was there, the nurse practitioner took it upon herself to also test me for oral and anal chlamydia.  I got my test results today.  I am negative for syphilis however I have anal chlamydia.  Who knew that was possible?  Well, I didn't.  So now I have to take a 100mg tablet of doxycycline every 12 hours for seven days and that should clear it up.  Wow.  I have to have gotten this STD from Teon.  I haven't had sex with anyone else since July of 2009.

I hate to admit it but I'm kind of disappointed with my test results.  I thought that syphilis was the cause for the rash on the soles of my feet, as well as my knees and elbows.  I'm constantly scratching all three areas and I thought that syphilis was the cause.   Well, it's not.  I guess I'll just have to live with the hives for now.  Damn.

On to other news, the whole "overflow" debacle is over with.   The shelter only allows 350 people at a time now.  First come, first serve.  That means that the shelter is pretty much to capacity at this time and if I decide to leave the shelter for whatever reason, I lose my spot.  Sucks, right?  I don't see how I'll be able to get a job if I won't be able to make it in the shelter.  How's that going to work?  I don't know.  I'll just have to pray about it.

And I almost forgot to tell you that JHR is "downsizing" Tuesday morning.  You already know what that means.  Do I need to refresh your memory?  Take a look at Downsize Episode 1 and Downsize Episode 2.  Keeps Gettin' Better.

what's keith USING?

This product comes as no surprise.  Who doesn't use and/or love Chapstick?  I use it every morning and night and I never leave  the house without it.  When I'm out, I even tend to use Chapstick on my hands when their dry.  So, what's my favorite flavor?  I'm going to have to go with Cherry, for sure.  What's yours?

what's keith MASTURBATING TO?

And another ONE!

who's stealing from keith AGAIN AT THE JHR SHELTER

My worst nightmare has come true.  Someone stole my iPhone right from under me, literally.  I was sleeping while listening to my iPhone at the time.  Whoever stole it, unplugged my headphones before he took it and no, I didn't even notice at the time.  I was sound asleep.

Who do I think stole it?  I'm guessing it was my neighbor, Danney J. Hall.  I searched through his stuff thoroughly, however I have yet to find it in his things.  I'm pretty sure he probably sold it by now.  Oh and remember the sleeping pills that someone stole from me a few weeks ago.  Well, I found the empty bottle in his bags.  So, I already know I'm laying next to a thief.

This really sucks.  I don't know what I'm going to do without my iPhone.  My iPhone is my life and I can't afford to buy a new one.  What a dilemma?  Whoever stole it won't even have the luxury of enjoying it because of the passcode lock on it.  I've had that phone ever since July of 2008 and it has been with me through so much.  Talk about sentimental value.  It's my most prized possession and now I'll have to do without it.  Lord, I don't get why you would allow someone to take it.  Yet I digress.  I'm not mad, just highly disappointed.  I guess I deserved it. 

what's keith NOT RECOMMENDING?

e.l.f. Essentials Waterproof Eyeliner Pen, $1.

Now, I'm pretty sure you guys know how much I love EyesLipsFace, however some of their products are No Bueno.  And this is one of them. 

Where do I begin?  I first purchased this product on the e.l.f. website almost two years ago.  And you know what I did with it?  I tossed it.  Why?  Well, I found that the applicator was a hassle to deal with.  The problem with the applicator is that it dries out too quickly.  I would apply the liquid eyeliner to the upper lash line of one eye and before I could complete the line, the applicator would dry out.  So, I would have to wait a minute for the applicator to moisten before I could apply the eyeliner to my other eye.  In addition, I thought that the colors of the different shades weren't vibrant enough.  I mean, they all come off looking like the black shade.  The different colors only carry a slight hue of the color they are described to be.  In fact, if you were to draw a line side by side of each shade on your forearm, you really wouldn't be able to tell the shades apart.  

That was almost two years ago and when I made a recent purchase from the e.l.f. website, I thought I would give this product another chance.  Unfortunately, I ran into the same problem.  However, this time I got a little impatient.  Instead of waiting a few seconds for the applicator to moisten, I shook the pen thinking the liquid would travel down to the applicator much faster.  Bad idea because the pen began to leak and it got all over my bathroom sink.  From that moment, I no longer trusted the eyeliner pen so I tossed it.  I mean, can you imagine going to use the pen and the applicator leaking on your clothing before going to work or better yet, a hot date?   I would be heated and I'm sure you would be too.  So, take my warning and pass on this product.  It's just not worth the hassle.

why is keith SMIRKING?



what's keith WEARING?

SPF 12

"Wears for up to 16 hours"
"Flawless look, lightweight feel"

DIRECTIONS
  To Use: Shake well.  Apply to one area at a time, blending quickly.  Remove with facial cleanser.  Apply prior to sun exposure.

By now, I'm quite sure just about everyone has tried the Revlon Colorstay Foundation.  In fact, it is one of the best drugstore foundations around and its claims hold true.  So, what's the difference between the two formulations?  And which formulation do I use and when do I use them?  Listen up.

For the past few months my skin has been very much on the dry side.  In fact, many mornings, I wake up with dry and flaky skin.  So lately, I've been using the Revlon Colorstay foundation formulation for Normal/Dry skin.  Even though this formulation is suited for me, I still run into a problem.  And that problem is micro exfoliation which causes flakiness.  At first, I thought it was the way I was applying the foundation.  I have tried using a stipling brush, the ever so common foundation brush, as well as my hands to apply the foundation and I still sometimes run into the same problem.  I'm quite sure the issue is that the foundation mattifys for long wear.  So when I do wear this foundation, I make sure that my face is highly moisturized.  On the plus side, this foundation is very easily blendable, has a very natural look/finish, and a great match for my skin tone.

During the summer months, I use the Revlon Colorstay foundation formulated for Combination/Oily skin.  I adore this formulation for the hot humid months.  Even through sweat and tears, this foundation holds up and stays put.  As you can tell from the above picture, the Normal/Dry formulation has more of a dewy finish while the Combination/Oily has more of a matte finish.  And yes, the Combination/Oily does a great job of absorbing oil and controlling shine throughout the day.  I don't even have to touch-up at all during the day.  The only thing that I dislike about this formulation is that it can be pretty tightening on my skin.  So much so that it kind of exacerbates any acne or pimples that I might have on my skin causing inflammation.  I even notice while using the Normal/Dry formulation a few days in a row, small pimples start to show up on my face.  With that being said, I try to avoid using either formulation daily.  Although, during the hot summer months, it's pretty much the only drugstore foundation that can hold up.  I've even slept in this foundation and woke up to find that it was still on my face looking flawless.

Another thing that I also want want to mention is that the Normal/Dry formulation appears lighter in the bottle than the formulation for Combination/Oily for the Caramel shade.  Although, as you can see, when fully dry, both formulations are the same color.  So no worries.  And if you're wondering, this foundation offers medium yet buildable coverage.  I think that's about it y'all.  Until next time.

should keith GET A RESTRAINING ORDER?

Lord please help me!  There is this old guy named Mannie that will not leave me the fuck alone.  I think I'm going to have to get a restraining order on his ass cause I cannot take any more of this.  Let me give you the back story.

I first met him while in the shower room about a month ago.  He hit on me and of course I shut him down.  Well over the weeks, we've gotten acquainted.  On many occassions, he has planted a chair right next to me and asked for conversation.  At first, I was nice and stopped whatever I was doing to engage in conversation but now it's getting rediculous.  He likes to bother me everyday it seems like now.  He also won't keep his hands to himself, always touching my legs, arms or hands.  In fact, he's sitting right next to me as I type.  I'm typing away with my headphones in my ears listening to "Even Angels" by Fantasia and he won't get the hint.  Why must he bother me? 

And he is crazy as all hell and I'm serious.  Talking to him is like going in circles.  He likes to repeat himself over and over again especially about his admiration and lust for me.  Plus you can never get a straight answer from him.  And to add the cherry on top, he is a convicted felon having spent the majority of his life in jail.  Yeah, I won't go into his convictions.  They're kind of scary and I'm beginning to get scared.  Talk about a stalker. I think I'm sitting next to one.  Pray for me.  For real.

who's keith THINKING ABOUT?

For the past couple of days, my dreams have consisted of Teon holding, kissing, and just loving on me.  I find that I wake up with most rock hard erection longing for his touch and affection.  I guess I just really miss him.  I even want to let him now how I feel, but I know that those feelings won't be mutual so I'll just keep them to myself for now.

what's keith KILLING AT THE JHR SHELTER?

I saw a bed bug early this morning and I killed it and it was filled with blood. Yeah, gross.  I'm pretty sure it was munchin' on me during the night. I have to get the fuck out of here.

what's keith THINKING?

I think I have syphilis and I think I contracted it during THIS sexual encounter but I'm not sure.  I have been dealing with the symptoms for three months now and I only suspect it's due to the syphilis after doing some online research recently.  My plan is to catch the subway to the Druid STD Clinic and officially get tested for the STD.  To be honest, there's no telling what other STD's I'm harboring.  Yet I won't point the finger.  I did this to myself.  Trust me.  I'll share my results.  Stay tuned for that update.

who's keith APOLOGIZING TO?

That would be my dear grandmother Bessie.  Oh how I did her wrong.  How so?  Well, I basically stole her identity.  I attempted to make her a co-signer on a student loan and I even tried to open several credit card accounts in her name.  All of my attempts were unsuccessful thank God.  I could have gotten into a lot of trouble.  These attempts started back in August 2009 and I ultimately gave up around September of 2010.  I even stated HERE how I had plans to continue my scheme and I even tried to get Teon involved without his knowledge.  Like I said, I gave it up.  I don't want to cause any harm to Bessie or Teon.  I even discarded any personal information that I have of Bessie or Teon to ensure that I won't do so.  Yeah, I'm definitely working on being a honest human being. 

I called Bessie today.  I really haven't spoken to her in over a year.  Of course, the conversation consisted of her angst and frustration of the whole ordeal I just mentioned.  I sincerely apologized to her and I hope that she'll get over it.  To be honest, she has no choice.  The damage has already been done.   I'm sure she'll forgive me one day.  In the meantime, I'll continue on my journey of peace, security, and honesty.  Case closed.

so how long has keith BEEN LIVING AT THE JHR SHELTER?
