Hello World,
There are several people at Disability Rights Idaho that can verify that I talked about using my credit card to make sure two of MY PEOPLE were able to secure their rooms for a NARPA trip, the hotel fucked up. I used it to get them in and by the time we checked out the issue was resolved. I even navigated the streets of NYC for them, subways included, and made sure we hit every single place we could because we only had one day to explore. I walked in front most of the time and would put myself in between anyone who made the ladies feel uncomfortable. I don't want to ask them to speak to this, they are busy people, but if I must I can. I took a ton of photos this trip. Eventually I will organize photo albums on the website somewhere and organize it to be from different points in my life, with memories like this attached to them.
I also just booked my trip to NARPA for this September, I used Hilton reward points and even modified the reservation to fly home in enough time to rest, and attend an outreach event at a park in Meridian, for the Battle of the Bands. That is happening. Connection is the Cure is sponsoring this and they said they will go public next week, and I have already written my post for it. I will share it next week too. I told them I would be there, but I do not have the capital yet to afford booth/presentation materials so I might just walk around and introduce myself.
I booked first class both ways, it was only a small difference for such a short flight, but I wanted to make sure I had room. I am 6'2" after all, and my body can get really stiff if I sit too long, so cramped spaces are not for me, I will be able to walk right off the airplane without waiting for people who don't pay attention to their surroundings holding everyone up. I will be tired from being gone which is why I took the first flight home that morning, to make sure I am rested and regulated. I WILL be there, not sure if I will be dressed up, or show up in the Coach Rage t-shirt, I will decide that the day of, all depending on how I feel in that moment alone, I am open to suggestions, you tell me what you want to see. Life is that simple.
Anyone is more than welcome to come up to me at either event, say hi, just don't be dumb, the world watches me, they have my back, and I know they have for a while.
This is me, I can put on a shirt & tie, or wear shorts & flip flop to the same event. Sometimes I feel I am over or under dressed, so I just do me. Keep in mind there are a lot of people having this revelation as they read this, of how true this is, and now I get to become the richest man in the world! I have delivered, and will continue to deliver wether or not you do anything for me.
Again it is on you to challenge me to prove any of this, but if you do, I will deliver.
Thank you,
Mikey
