...a Book and a Movie

Hi
My entire life I’ve been interviewed For the newspapers for one reason or another or while living in New Haven I was the subject of a Yale professor who would certain students in to interview me every semester for 10 years. Over that time over the time of my life people are constantly said to me that I am a book and a movie....
The circumstances of the last couple weeks make me think I should start here is maybe a blog and a movie

...and old lace.

...Sick. And I mean sick like you know you’re dying. In denial after the facts are presented to you you can’t even comprehend them. Like when you finally realize that your parents hadn’t done that great a job coddling and comforting you through your childhood. There’s a word for it in psychology. I’m dropping the ball on what it is now called. But for two birthdays in a row I woke up to the worst Sicknesses I would ever experience in my life. Or had till the till that day. I was throwing up all day long I had diarrhea all day long I couldn’t hold anything down. Took three or four days to finally flush out of me. Maryann thought it was such a shame that I got sick on all these important occasions, like my birthday two years in a row. Like going to Christmas at her parents house, or Thanksgiving at her uncles house. You think I Would add it all that up.
Six weeks after Maryann left me I went to my doctor, she chopped a bunch of hair out of my head and sent it in for analysis. When she got the reports back she would learn a really important lesson about contacting a patient with bad news...
I had a heavy amount of arsenic in my body...

Back To The Monster...

...My stories will always come back to here. The monster they made me. I have too many days but I would rather talk about some other day. There’s too many loose strings in my life, dangling…
Nurture over Nature...
I was all sweetness and love. Till they beat it out of me. And then I wanted to beat it out of everyone else, Joy.
The memories of me being the monster that I will never forget, ever.

Driven Over..

... That’s what it felt like. Car going over and across the top of me. “?um what? “
“ ?! What did you do to get a day named after you in New Haven?!”
I really didn’t know what to say. I had never been questioned about that before. I actually almost felt the need to do vehemently defend myself. But Cathy Charles did that for me.
Even then it did not sink in.
What you’re supposed to say when someone says that they have a very prestigious accolade attributed to them is to say “wow that’s really incredible congratulations “....

¡¡ DIE JEW !!

...is what he yelled. Pulled his truck up alongside me and screamed at me. He then kept on screaming that and moving his truck closer and closer to me. He took a left upper a dead end road and I laughed. I sat at the stop sign and waited for him to come back which was about 45 minutes. He must’ve been awkwardly sitting up top the hill. The road was only 100 yards long. He had to gather his courage to drive by me and when he did he yelled at all again,¡¡ DIE YOU FUCKING JEW!!....
He lives on the right side of Ridge Rd. just after the light at Dixwell , as your head south toward New Haven...

Air-Wing...

... it comes out of a nightmare I have. My plane is broken up around me and I’m plummeting. As I’m falling my left tail wing is spinning to the ground with me. I reach for my Ripcord, I wake up…

What A ABI Steals..

... The opening act, which I imagine was three of the actors who were in the play, I’ll check on that later. They were good they were fun. Then they played By the Sea, one of my favorite songs. I reached over to Tracy and take her hand to stand up and dance to this. But then I remembered what the brain injury has stolen form me. My Balance, level movement, if I turn around too quick I’ll get nauseous. If I move my head too fast I vomit. I wanted to stand up and dance with her.
Instead I held my pocket watch to my left ear, clinched in my hand, and I just sat and cried...

History Lesson..

....lately. I can’t get it out of my mind. The tattooed numbers on the grandfather’s forearm. I was young, naive.
“What are those numbers?”....the dinner table went death silent.
I was invited to dinner at Pam Cramer’s house, big deal, for real.
First real girlfriend. First dinner at her house.
“Are they tattooed number?” , i should have just shut up, the tension in the room was telling me to do so. But I’m a nervous talker, chatter chatter chatter.
Hell, I do not even recall his response, he just slowly placed his fork on the edge of his plate and slowly turned to me and raised his eyes to mine.
In that instant I know, I saw, I understood everything that happened, every one who was killed and how much he had lost. And he hadn’t even spoken yet.
In Broken English and Hebrew he told me, he told me all. In dead silence we all sat.
The candles flickered.
I don’t and can’t recall what he said. I looked down into the folded palms of my hands and disconnected, remaining at the table and my seat , I wondered off through walls into the garden and sat on the stone bench...and my head filled with all the noise and sights of my past...all at once...

“...talk to him, and be kind...”

...I know you but can not recall your name. You once worked at Romeo’s and Caesar’s, you left to study to be an ambulance attendant. You had worked with Fran.
And you are one now.
“ ! Hey ! That’s Matthew Feiner ! Talk to him! He’s triggered!”
I heard you through all of it, “the triggered”.
“....And be kind.”
I recall you sticking your head into my emergency room bay a couple hours later… I’ll always owe you.
My attending nurse said to you “ this guys the mensch, He went into a burning building to get a friend out...”

You nodded your head and said quietly “I know.”

Don’t watch the body cam videos,
I’m serious don’t.
Yesterday while Tracy and I were watching the body cam footage from the police, the ones that had been redacted. We were trying to recreate the position the Hamden police had me in which was face down on the gurney and my right arm and hand pulled all the way over to my left side. When we went to do this the pain was so great I almost blacked out.

....On the bullies time frame…

...When a bully has you in his sites and makes you his target, you don’t have a choice as to what time it happens. And for that matter you don’t have a choice of where it happens. Often public often at an inconvenient time. Bullies give you no choice. They gave me no choice of time or place, and they don’t care who’s watching.
So as I talk about this publicly and at my time convenience here on my blog and then post it to Twitter and Facebook. It’s the same thing a bully did to me, publicly beat me up publicly embarrassed me… On and on and on.

So no I don’t understand it when people come to me and ask me why I’m Airing my grievances on social media.

Stymied...

... I was a child traumatized by a broken femur and a dog bite to the face before I was five. I was traumatized. It was the 60s they didn’t deal with me at psychologically/emotionally.. I was already undone by the time the relentless teasing began.”Stop slapping yourself!” Pinches on your back on long car rides, making me cry.
“You little girl”, “crybaby crybaby “, “ You ratted me out to mom and dad know you’ll pay… “, “You’re never gonna amount to anything “. On and on you know the banter you know the words. So no I don’t have really great self-esteem because it was beaten out of me at an early age. I’ve barely scraped by. I became the monster you made me for a couple years and I had to move back here from Austin Texas to make apologies to people. People I had wronged , people who I had treated inappropriately.
I’ve done all mine. And I’ve gotten a handful back.
Now I sit here trying to own everything I’ve done trying to believe in everything I’ve become trying to believe the difference I have made.
But there’s a big part of me that just sees it no other way than failure....

Dead Letter Office...

...I haven’t been here in a while. The book and a movie thing catching up with me.
My mother passed last November, not that I recall. We held her memorial services over the last weekend one where we grew up and one where she was born. My mother was a great woman a great mother and a great person and in the end a really great housemate. I got to spend eight months with my mom just me and her hanging out being housemates. As stressful as it was it was well worth it I got to learn a lot about my mother and growing upIn Rhode Island back in the 20s and 30s and 40s and into the 50s…
Her memorials were very well attended, as she was such a funny witty and considerate person that she was.

Yale is a bunch of thieves…

Five years ago I had a housemate, well I had two housemates on Orange Street both by the name of Christian.
Christian and Cristian one with an H and one without we called each other Capo. Christian from Argentina Cabo was a grad student at Yale and the nicest man in the world. One day I came home to find him crying hysterically in the kitchen and it took about three hours before he could say anything. His department professor Had asked to proofread Christian’s paper for him to look for errors in the English language. The Professor of the department would then steal the paper and publish it under his own name. Christian went to the head of the department and that old time bastard told him “that’ll teach you “…

Crisis intervention

... Two February’s ago I had a physical crisis, a seizure and Tracy called the Hamden ambulance.
When the ambulance arrived I was more than they could deal with, but they didn’t call a crisis intervention team or squad department they called for the police. Four policemen showed up and little old me was more than They could handle, so did they call for a crisis intervention team or squad or department, no. They called for back up, more police. The whole nine of them, nine police officers beat the living fuck out of me and then knocked me out with some sort of drug. Did they call a crisis intervention team at this point now they just threw me in the back of a fucking ambulance and thenThrew me into the emergency room…

Jan 21 2022....Dream Scape

...Last night I had the most incredible dream. I was running up along the banks of a large river with my brother Mark.
We were running on the banks following a massive school of fish that we’re Swimming upstream.
Mark dove in and was effortlessly swimming with them keeping stride. I followed, powerfully swimming with the huge school of fish.
At one point we jumped up on a damn out of the water, as we did the fish became birds. They were big like swans but more muscular and very colorful and swimming like dolphins in a huge pod still moving upstream. We dove back in and followed.
Then,Of course, we looked up the river and there was a car coming towards us. The driver was sitting in the sunroof floating with the vehicle. He threw something at Mark and yelled some sort of obscene gesture. To which my brother laughed and threw him a bird, literally. The car driver got more vulgar. I stopped swimming and turned around. His car got stuck in a gyre, the red light of rivers. I swam towards his car as it spun in the gyre and every time it went around I did something else to it, first I took off its windshield wipers and it’s windows then it’s mirrors, the driver screaming the whole time. My little brother was just laughing…

...Mark and I were mauled by the same dog. The neighbors dog. We both have scars on our faces from it. They took the dog out back and shot it in the head…

The police came and beat the shit out of me, then they backed off and called for back up.
Then the seven of them pig piled on me and hit me with two doses of something. I woke up in the ER handcuffed to the bed...

I had been going there for a couple months in fourth grade when they wanted to have a meeting with my parents about my “speech impediment “. They arranged a meeting and my mom came in and as soon as my Mom spoke Mrs. O’Rourke chuckledto her self realizing it wasn’t a speech in pediment that I had , but I had an accent…
Mom = Newport
Dad = NYNY
Add that up....

Jan 17 2022 Plane...

...We were all down in Philly or maybe it was New Jersey. But it was one of these stupidly expensive trips with the entire crew of the devils gear arranged by DK for us to go spend a weekend confirming what we already knew, we are all great mechanics. We do not need to be st a stupid tools seminar....

...At the end of the second day we were all going up on the elevator and when we got to the top floor and got out I tapped Scott on the shoulder and pointed towards the overlook with my chin. We were 14 flights up with a huge open atrium area. I had a paper airplane that I had made at dinner. I let it go and it’s circled in blue and dark dropped and dove dived and climbed and circle back around 6 times perfectly , before it landed right by the grand piano...

Happy Martin Luther King day.
... Norma was my godmother. She had been my mother’s best friend. Her husband Alan was my godfather.
I couldn’t ask for two better people to be around me as a child. Norma was always very encouraging of me and comforting and caring.
Norma also warned me that I was a shining light and that would attract both good and bad people… She was very right

... Did you know they’re still prosecuting the people who reported Anne Frank and her family to the Nazis?
Good, I hope they do.

This has never just been a “family issue”.
I wish it was I could toss it aside.
But it isn’t, it’s a public issue. Because if I’m in public far too often far too frequently
Someone comes up to me and wants to hold me accountable for something you did.
Or at best, they want to thank me for holding you accountable…

Right after the fumbled apology attempt at the funeral parlor, and I came back to New Haven,
New Haven, my city, I can say that, some ass clown from your high school days wanted to hold me accountable
for something you did to him.....
I directed him your way.

.... I’m not perfect not by any measure. I’ll tell you more about that later...
I know you would think that I keep bringing this back up , That’s because it hasn’t been resolved.
For yourself or for me.
It was a clumsy attempt at an apology 18 some odd years ago through the copied email.
And then the hastily arranged meeting at the funeral of my Aunt on so quickly arranged in the side room. It was awkward at best
You chose to lie when you took my hand, and then I asked you a second question just to check, which you told the truth too. Because it wasn’t about abusing me. As soon as I walked out of that room I walked up and Diana shamed me flat out shamed me with a finger in my face at a funeral for my aunt. She told me I was to be held accountable for everything and that everything was my fault and had been my fault…

And well I’m not even really sure what went on with the invitation to the wedding. The saddest part of that is that I’m sorry it involves Lauren. That’s my deepest regret.

But it’s not like a nightmare that wakes me up at night like the shit you did to me does.

Jan 14 2022 Part III

... An apology.
It’s like several parts to be correct and for it to be For-filling and releasing for both parties.
First, there’s the confrontation if you will. “You did X to me “.
Second, if you’re lucky there’s the acknowledgment. “You’re right I did X to you”.
Great! Doesn’t always go like that. More on that later.
Third, there is the ask for forgiveness, “I’m sorry I did thatX , can you forgive me? “.
Fourth, the acceptance. “ Yes, I forgive you. “

Easy Peezy lemon squeezy.Right?

Thing is you can’t go back to doing what X was after you’ve apologized....
In any way shape or form because it sets me for one right back to zero dude.
I’ll show you a fucking drama queen...

I’m just telling the stories. And I’ve remembered them all.…

Jan 14 2022 Part II

... I guess you really need to understand my lack of “emotional base”. Real honest to goodness base.
When I was three I fell down a flight of stairs in Middletown Connecticut. They put me in the hospital in traction for two weeks as a baby, more on that later. And then they put me in a body cast for three months as a baby. No sooner did I come out of that but I was mauled in the face and head by a dog, our neighbors dog. More on that later.

One of my psychiatrist has said that that is so hard wired in me that it’s shocking to him that I’m as normal as I am.

My first school exposure was a year early. I’m from a big family and my older sister is only one year older then me. The school system wanted to put us both in kindergarten at the same time, but separate classes. I cried my eyes out. Chuckie came over and beat me up for being a crybaby. They took me out of school the next day.

The following year When they put me back in kindergarten it was still very traumatic. So I cried and Clayton Dana came over and beat me up for being a crybaby…

School was very difficult for me it was the early 70s…

Jan 14 2022

...I was stupid. That’s all I really knew. Everyone in my life kept telling me I was stupid from his early as I can remember. I get hurt, I was stupid. I’d break something, I was stupid. When I started going to school and doing poorly, I was stupid I mean they just kept telling me I was stupid all the way through school. They took away Art classes left right and center and replace them with English classes and math classes because those were the things I failed. Stupid. My guidance counselor that was no help. They should’ve seen that I liked art they should’ve seen that I liked cycling they might’ve encouraged me to take some business classes. They pretty much just told to pick up a shovel…

I guess...

“... when I travel, I travel by Blue Highway, I stay in cheap cheap motels, I can’t help myself but take the clock radio in the morning when I leave…”
… I don’t sleep well. This has been my whole life, or this has been my whole life. Don’t be insulted please if I’ve stayed at your house,, I just don’t sleep well in places that I can’t controlThe points of entry. Cheap motels on back roads you have one door and one window you have a chair… I sleep wellish. When I get up in the morning and leave I want to capture that time it feels that physical like as if I could “capture it “

...The rain was falling way up the canyon. It was clear skies where we were. The lower part of cataract Canyon would be the last place to get the flood. We were evacuated out of the canyon and brought to the town of Supia.
The park put us up in the school for the night. During the nightTyson slipped into my room and molested me while I slept. I woke up during it and defended myself.
The next morning when I approachedThe ride leaders to report my molestation by Tyson their response was to deny it. They said I was making it up. They wanted to know why I would make up such a crazy story about Tyson.

The rest of the ride event was a nightmare. Being called a liar...at best. I
The ride went on the days went on and every night I locked myself somewhere so I could sleep.

The ride ended and we went to our departure point at Las Vegas. While we were waiting two police cars, two state police cars pulled up. They had an Interpol warrant for the arrest of Tyson Sampson and wanted to know where he was. I pointed to his tent. They arrested Tyson right there and cops Read him his rights, stuffed him inside the police Car. Before the state police left Susan ask them what he was being charged with? The state police officer dropped his shades lock Susan right in the eyes and said “rape, he’s being arrested for the rape of his roommate back in The Carolinas.....”

I’m waiting for my apologies for being called a liar.

...Slept in the treehouse last night. I went to bed early. 8 o’clock seems to be my hour. And then I wake up around 8 AM. Bad dreams all night, couldn’t find my cat couldn’t find my mom. Memory loss is so hard to explain to people.
... I told mom I would wait. And I did.
You are a monster in my life. And although you did some brotherly things for me that doesn’t take away the things you did to me, the things that still linger in my mind and keep me awake at night and keep me from getting close to people. You took so much from me that I will never ever get back. You were supposed to be my brother.?

It was about a office worker who managed to sleep in his shared office for 500 days. Showering at the gym… Eating at restaurants… He was renting out his apartment and living off that money…

.... I woke up this morning from nightmares. I was out to dinner and he was there, I don’t know why. When I realized it was him I stood up to leave, he stood up to say goodbye, I still don’t know why. He was looking up above me, so I reached down to the table and I poured his bowl of borscht into a seat, he didn’t see me do it. He extended a hand a handshake I said don’t bother. He sat down into his soup. He stood up , I offered to take this outside. I also told him that I was waiting to tell the world the truth about him. About the monster he was when we were kids, and the monster he tried to make me…
