Odd Are Those Times...


Odd are those times, when I've paid my phone bill in full (as represented by the billing ledger on my credit card online statement), and yet phone messages claim that my service isn't yet paid.

Can't check my bank. Can't check my taxes.

Not to mention they're already swapping my identity with that of Ronald Silk, despite the fact that I'm neither a Jehovah's Witness or a member of Prince Hall, nor a Mormon with all due respect.

Watch out for identity thieves and swappers. People I simply do not put up with, no matter whom they are.

Come on PC Mobile. You're a good service, but you've got to do better than that!

I'm not Trent either, not to mention I'm truly an Atheist that leans toward Buddhism and Taoism, whether you like it or not, and I've never had a "brown fetish" in my life, except for the eyes of my love interest.

My love interest is Southeast Asian, but not Filipino with all due respect to members of that hard working community. I am clear about this, because she deserves it, as do the women who represent the cultures and skills of the characters in my books and stories.

I'm not a part of any blood centered cult and never will be, though I certainly regard health in terms of our circulatory system as a priority best attended to by marrow oriented Qi Gong, and a healthy iron rich diet. 

I'm happy to have Welsh ancestry and I do much to honour it, but my efforts are my own, and require no payment to others in their blood sponsorship. My skills arise not from my pretending to have them, but from actually using those skills in some way, shape or form. 

I'm far too busy sharing and giving back to the inspirations in my life, to become involved in something so egotistically self-absorbed as believing that the skills of everyone else in the world arise from my having had those same skills in the first place.

So. Once again, I have a group of people attempting to steal my content and attribute it to people that have nothing to do with it at all. So to clear things up, my name isn't Bobby or Bob. I'm not African or Caribbean or biracially so. Its a hate crime to replace a person's identity in order to replace their culture, religion or gender. Its a crime to replace a person's identity in order to steal or otherwise abscond with the credit and rights of their creative content.

I'm very grateful for the online content that I enjoy, including many great channels on YouTube such as science channels, tarot and astrology readings, ASMR channels, a variety of martial arts related channels, channels that focus on learning new languages, Korean, Vietnamese and other spa and massage oriented channels (it pays in droves to pay attention to those, because you can really give your girlfriend or wife a great massage as a result or know where to gift her a visit to the spa such as Lotus Lens ASMR),  meditation channels, health and exercise channels, AI news channels, sci-fi and fantasy interest channels that focus on streaming shows and services and their content, music channels for my favourite bands and artists, walking tour channels, tutorial channels, tech channels, and those dealing with mysticism and the esoteric subjects that I as a very intense Scorpio often enjoy as sources of research for my written stories and growing library of audiobooks. I always show my gratitude and credit to such channels, and would never take the credit for the efforts of their creators and content producers.

Please have similar respect for my efforts, as I often spend between eight and fourteen hours a day working on my content here on Shhhh! Digital Media, and it does take a great deal of effort to come up with written material, create artwork for it, publish it, and then adapt it to audiobook format, including doing all of the sfx and composing and arranging all of the music and editing the narration into the end product. Something that I couldn't achieve without the inspiration of other content creators, from whom I'd never steal the credit for what they achieve, so please don't do it to me, not to mention I spend a great deal of my surface imprint area promoting and advocating for charities I believe in. Something that is not measured or credited, despite the fact that I've been doing that since 2013. If just ten percent of the total people who've visited Shhhh! Digital Media (or my Poetry and Fiction site from which Shhhh! Digital Media was born) over the years, each donated a dollar, it would add up to almost forty-thousand dollars in total.

I'm not trench by the way.
