hiii, it’s your secret holiday pal popping in, i’m excited to chat with you this month✨ tell me a bit about yourself!!! fav season? fav beverage? last song you listened to? best book you ever read or show you ever watched?? or whatever you wanna share 💖 hope your day/night is going smoothly!! ❄️✨
Tumblr media
Hiiii hello secret holiday pal!
I had a week but now it calmed down a bit and I finally got y the time to answer your wonderful asks ☺️
My favorite season changes with the actual seasons but crystal clear snowy winter days and warm summer nights with cicadas under my window are probably the best!
I'm an avid tea drinker and have a special tea box for travels, even ☺️✌️ since starting work I've become a friend of iced coffee on hot summer days (and warm coffees as a treat after work). I have a secret sweet tooth for hot chocolate but shhh, nobody knows lmao
I know that this ask was written before Spotify released its wrapped lists of the year but tbh I did hear mine today during transit and it's alright this year. My #1 is Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap which is a throwback and a half but I do like it a lot.
Those are some of the songs living in my head rent free atm
Best show on account of it giving me a little happiness whenever and wherever since childhood? Star trek (tos, tng and disco primarily atm)
Best show to have fandom feels over and be obsessed with is currently 9-1-1 on Fox aka the gay firefighters show lmao I had them as blorbos in law for nearly a year before I caved and binged the first 4 and a half seasons in 25 days. Worth it, 9/10
I love, love, love books. There's a bookshelf filled with my favorite childhood books that always comes with me. Then there was Graceling by Kristin Cashore (a while back) which really burned itself into my memory for some reason.
My favorite color is red, was always red since I knew of the concept and I may not have an all-red wardrobe anymore (like 4yo me) but that should be a new year's resolution of mine ngl
Thank you for this wonderful ask, my dear holiday pal! I'm kissing your hands, ✨Ela

Rhya knew Valtos rarely showed emotion on his face unless his feelings were on the more extreme end, which said something about the fact that he always struggled to hide his annoyance whenever he was around Rhya.
Once Valtos noticed him, Rhya smiled at him. He was always amused by Valtos’ effort to show respect to a higher ranking Eye of the Midnight Sun member that completely ticked him off. “Hey, Vallie. Watcha doing?” he asked.
Valtos sighed and then tried to disguise it as a cough, which might have worked on anyone else, but to Rhya it was an obvious failure. “Erm, nothing. Thinking. Wandering around.” He raised something in his hand up to his chest: a small dark book. “I was reading, then got restless.”
“The book’s that bad, huh?” Rhya looked at the cover; it was some sort of poetry collection. He made an exaggerated gagging noise. “I get it. Though usually that sort of thing puts me to sleep, not make me antsy.”
“No, it’s not that it’s bad. Quite the opposite, actually.” Valtos opened the cover then slammed it shut again. “It’s just a bit...intense. There’s only so much of it I can take in one sitting.”
“Really?” Rhya asked. “Hm. Well, that’s never happened to me. Usually if I like something enough it makes me stay up and read it all in one sitting.”
“Well, it’s different with different writings, I suppose,” Valtos replied.
“Yeah. I guess that makes sense. Well, what’s this one about?”
“It’s...a bit difficult to describe. It covers many different themes.”
“Oh?” Rhya feigned interest, resting his chin on his fist and leaning closer to Valtos. “Like what?”
“Unrequited love, loneliness, hopelessness, that sort of thing.”
Rhya grinned. “Wow. Cheery.” 
Valtos shrugged. “Thus the need for a little break from it.”
“Right. So, if you’re out and about leisurely reading and walking around,” Rhya said, “does that mean the plan for your guys’ little excursion to the capital is coming along nicely?”
“Well,” Valtos said, “Master Licht has set up a meeting with the Purple Orcas captain. Meanwhile, I’m almost done making my disguise, and Rades and Catherine are training.” He frowned. “But Rades still thinks he can do it all on his own. The entire capital. Master Licht doesn’t actually have that sort of blind faith in Rades’ skills to let him try to do such a thing, right?”
“Calm down, Val.” Rhya put a hand on his shoulder. “It’ll be fine. If Rades does mess up, it’s not the end of the world. All we need is the magic stone. As long as any of you get that, whether it’s Licht or Rades, or even Catherine or you, we’re golden. You’ve all got this.”
Valtos sighed, but didn’t reply.
“And is there...anything else you’re worried about? Or is it just Rades?” Rhya asked. 
Valtos tilted his head at Rhya. “No...like what?”
“Well...” Rhya yawned and stretched his arms out. “I know in the past you’ve...struggled a bit with these sort of missions.” Valtos stiffened, frowning at him. 
“That was back when I was younger. Naive. You don’t have to worry about me fulfilling my duty now.”
“So, if I asked you...if all our crimes was worth it, was worth Licht’s dream, you’d say yes?”
Valtos nodded. “Of course. I would never doubt Master Licht.”
Rhya had asked Valtos that question two times before. Both of the previous times he answered, he said the same thing. The first time, it was a lie. The second time he said it was really interesting though. It was as if Valtos himself couldn’t tell whether or not he was lying. This time, however, he said it with absolute conviction. He was telling the truth.
“Yeah... Hey, Val?” Rhya said. “Thank you. For everything. For all your hard work you do for the Eye of the Midnight Sun. I really appreciate it.”
Valtos’ expression didn’t change at all when he nodded at him, except for the split second he tightened his lips and gave away that fact he was suppressing a smile. “Of course. We all must play our part in completing Master Licht’s goals.”
“Yeah. Don’t worry. We will. We all will.” Rhya turned around and began to leave.
All of the human members in the Eye of the Midnght Sun deserved to die. Even Valtos, as selfless as his reasons for doing them were, needed to answer for his crimes, crimes severe enough that no one could complain if it was through death. Not that he or the others had anyone who would actually miss them once they did die.
Still, if there was anyone who didn’t have a right to pass such a judgement on them, it was the elves. Not when they were the ones who led them, committing the same exact sins alongside them. Sure, the elves were lied to and betrayed by the humans five centuries ago, but it wasn’t like doing the same thing back was any sort of justice against those who first did it, not any more so than revenge against any of the present humans in the Clover Kingdom. But only Rhya seemed to really know that, and frankly, he didn’t care. Not enough to do anything about it. 
Besides, it wasn’t just the humans he was betraying this way. It was everyone. If he could lie to the people he was closest to, what was doing so to a few humans? It was a shame, but what can you do? 
Rhya waved at Valtos as he said, “Well, enjoy your reading. I’m gonna take a nap.”
“Thank you...?” Valtos shrugged to himself and continued his stroll, holding his book at his chest. Rhya exited the room, grinning.

In Today’s Magic Story...
War of the Spark: Ravnica -- Rallying the Reluctant
Last time, the story left a sour taste in my mouth. This time, I know why...
We’re not getting a story: we’re getting snippets of story. Teases. Fleeting glances. Nothing’s ever elaborated on, built up on. Imagine seeing the Kaladesh story from Servo 123: ‘So this lady was on fire but this elf stopped her and then a tree hit the dude with the mask several blocks away.’ That’s what it feels like. And I came to this decision before this abhorrent nonsense:
If you are currently reading War of the Spark: Ravnica by Greg Weisman and wish to avoid spoilers, the following chapters of the novel overlap with this story: Chapters 30–32.
"Oh, you want the full story~? BUY THE F*CKING BOOK!!!” -- Some hare-brained person at Wizards, probably.
So much for making the story more accessible... I hope this story at least gives us something cohesive...
I.
Jace: ‘Meet at the Senate.’ Kaya: ‘I do what I want.’
Heh. Seems the Orzhov are still pissed off with Kaya releasing all the ghosts.
“Oh I’m sorry, I can’t go, but you can speak to my secretaries.” -- Teysa Karlov, probably
Oh and they come in, one at a time, just to waste her time.
‘Dangerously Handsome’ should be used more as a descriptor I feel.
Wait what? A Boros defector to the Orzhov? Tell me more! Oh right, you have a book to sell...
Also reminder she has her own pet thrull.
Let’s all appreciate that the Grand Cabinet could hold 90 people. It’s in all caps, so I presume it’s a specific location, but I like to imagine the Orzhov being so rich their cabinets can fit 90 people in it easily.
Pontiff Morov, amidst an elaborate apology to his new planeswalking guildmaster, didn't see why Planeswalkers should be of any concern to the Orzhov. "Still," he concluded, "I am happy to issue a church edict condemning the Eternals' harvesting of these . . . 'Planeswalker Sparks'? Is that the correct term? Well, no matter. We'll play with the wording."
Okay, this is definitely being done to stiff Kaya. Only the Orzhov would make something so tedious so as to discourage someone from calling upon them. Only the Orzhov would put minimum effort in and call it a day.
Having said that, wrong time, wrong place. Help the war be over so you can get revenue. Simple as that.
Mistress Kaya glowered so hotly, I thought she might catch fire. "Listen to me," she said, trying to cool her anger. "You don't seem to comprehend the danger this entire world is facing." The pontiff said, "I imagine if things are that grave, the Living Guildpact will finally show his face and solve things.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot damn what a burn! Okay, that makes this worth it. Even though Jace is here, that hit hard! I’m putting this in the Best Owns and Burns Awards!
Hot damn, Kaya! These gilded leaders may sit about all day, but it’s the people collecting tithes that actually comprehend the threat! Well played by you!
Pontiff Morov started to object, but Mistress Kaya wheeled on him quickly: "There is, of course, another alternative. I can render all debt collection moot, by forgiving every single debt this instant."
KAYA ‘WATCH ME DO IT YOU F*CKING SYCOPHANT’... oh right, she currently doesn’t have a last name. THE POINT STILL STANDS!
This goes into the DOVIN F*CKING BAAN Awards pool!
II.
The Cult of Rakdos abstains? Huh...
Oh right, his emissary died. Yeah, that’d do it...
Wait, where’s Vraska?
Domri Rade, 2013(Gatecrash)--2019(War of the Spark)
Dovin “My leadership clause is airtight and even though I’m working for Bolas you still can’t fire me” Baan
So only the Izzet, Boros, and Simic actually showed up in force. Once again, I’m noticing a distinct lack of black alignment with the good guys...
And Niv-Mizzet’s dead, albeit temporarily
Master Zarek said, "With the Firemind dead, the only option is Operation Desperation."
You know you’re out of options when you have to initiate Operation Desperation. Also, bonus points for rhyming!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Niv-Mizzet purposefully planned his resurrection to make him the Living Guildpact.
III.
I thought the statue was broken, but I guess they repaired it.
Yeah, Jace: think before you speak. You’re blue, not red.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Isperia did a lot of good on Ravnica. In fact, if Vraska hadn't turned her to stone, we might be in much better—" "Vraska's vengeance was well earned!" Mister Beleren's voice was a low, quiet whisper—that forced me to inch a little closer to hear—but his passion was obvious. "You don't know her. You don't know her story." "I suppose I don't," Mister Jura said with some surprise.
Tumblr media
I agree Rat, they would make a cute couple!
Mister Beleren nodded and started to walk away—before pausing to say, "You're a good friend, Gideon. I don't know if I've ever told you that." Mister Jura chuckled. "I'm quite sure you haven't. But to be fair, I don't think I've ever said it to you, either. I'm a little bit ashamed you beat me to it . . . old friend."
I’m not crying...! You’re crying...!
MOWU MOWU MOWU MOWU MOWU
Dack’s here... oh boy... anyone want to tell him he’s gonna be Yamcha-ed?
Dack flirting with Saheeli? Bold move...
Dack: “So, you’re the new UR ‘walker that intereacts with artifacts, huh? I don’t know why they need another one, but welcome to the team!” Saheeli: “Yeah, thanks...”
OH SHIT OB NIXILIS! Pretty awkward to be going with Jace & Gideon’s plan, considering their last interaction...
Tumblr media
Mister Pencil-Mustache-Planeswalker is totes Davriel
Mister Beleren's tenure as Living Guildpact had been . . . inconsistent...
Understatement of the Century.
Gideon don’t need voice enhancement.
Oh a new planeswalker! Sir-Not-Appearing-On-A-Card!
Oh Angrath, you’re always a treat to read...!
"Brilliant," snorted the planeswalking minotaur I'd seen materialize in the plaza earlier that day. "How you fools love to play right into the dragon's claws." From across the room, Miss Huatli countered, "As you did by coming here?"
OOF! Coming from Huatli of all people! I’m Definitely putting this in Best Owns and Burns!
"While the Eternals march out of it? That sounds like a great plan for committing suicide." -- Jaya, who can melt metal with her fire.
Raven-Hair may be a subtle nod to the Raven Man... WHO WE STILL DON’T KNOW A THING ABOUT--
I see u, Ral Zarek, trying to work on Operation Desperation.
“I propose we split the party. Like seriously, there’s a bunch of us here: I had time to bake a pizza while the rest of you took turns in combat.” -- Jace, probably.
An aven planeswalker which we’ll never see again!
Woah, Gideon, put away your sword! It’ll suck the sword out of anyone in the crowd around you!
Well, all of us but Mister Fayden, who snuck up behind Miss Kiora to poach a barehanded touch of her fancy, shiny bident with his psychometry—and wound up looking a bit like he regretted every single life choice he'd ever made.
Bless u, Dack Fayden. You will be missed...
Okay, this was a much better story! A lot more happened, there was more info we gleaned, and while it still had the problems of previous stories, it showed them less. Now the planeswalkers have a plan and Ral has his own plan! And it’s time to go forth!
We got meetings! Orzhova! Snubbing! Triumvirate! Defectors! Cabinets! Honor Guards! Dissing Jace! Tithe collectors! Threats! Abstaining! Vraska Missing! Dovin Baan! Operation Desperation! Sphinxes! Missing Vraska! Gideon! MOWU! Flirting! Problems! Beacons! Comedic timing! Angrath! Raven-Hair! Blackblade! Dack & the Bident!
But will we continue to get a decent story? Stay tuned!

War of the Spark, a novel review
As a child, I aspired to become an author. There was something alluring about crafting characters and entwining their lives together through circumstances. It is also one of the reasons I was an avid reader as a child. I still remember the release of the fifth Harry Potter novel and a friend loaned me their copy. I returned it to them the next day at school and they were confused as to why I didn’t want to finish it. But I had! The fifth book came in at 766 pages, for context.
The entire point to going over these little details it to outline how much I truly enjoy a story. Combine that with the fact that, as many will guess, I am obsessed with Magic: the Gathering and you would imagine that the War of the Spark novel was a dream-come-true for me. It has been ages since the last Magic novel, and this was the finale of a decade-long spiderweb of stories and there was much speculation and tension riding on this book. I had high hopes for it, especially as the cards were previewed ahead of its release. And, I’m sad to announce, I was ultimately disappointed. 
Tumblr media
There is a lot to unpack here. There was always going to be a laundry list of challenges for anyone who wrote this story, so I want to put this out as a disclaimer: my comments here are not direct criticism toward Greg Weisman and some of these comments aren’t even directly critical of Wizards of the Coast themselves. Some of it happens to just be a collection of unfortunate circumstances. So, let’s dive into this.
Before we get too deep into the review of the story, I do want to make sure to give a SPOILER WARNING. Some of this will reveal plot points or character points of the novel. If you don’t want to know these things before reading it and coming to your own conclusions, please bookmark the page and come back after you’ve read the novel.
The Kiddie Character Pool
When I say “kiddie character pool”, I’m not referring that the characters are children, or even that the writing is geared toward children. Rather, I’m referencing the lack of depth in the characters that were presented. Vraska and Jace specifically did not live up to the deeper characters we had become accustomed to after their foray and frolicking in Ixalan. Jace lost some of his self-confidence and regained much of his brooding nature. Vraska’s confidence and determination to aid her friends and end the threat of Bolas seems to have flown the coop in favor of something of a self-pity party.
While these are the top two examples of lack of character depth, there are a few throughout the story as well. Domri Rade seems to exist solely to illustrate a person fed up with the status quo of Ravnica and what happens to those who are loyal to Bolas when he’s done with them. Aside from that, he offers little to the plot. The character Rat basically exists to reveal information to newer players or readers who are unfamiliar to Ravnica and some of the other Planeswalkers, going so far to even embody this “newness” in Teyo, one of the main perspectives and a newly ignited Planeswalker. While the plan does the job to inform the reader, it does come across as a cheap, almost “cheating” trope.
We got Quantity, not Quality
This also comes into play with another big criticism. When it comes to the supporting cast, we were buried under name after name after name, but given very little else. Characters like Kiora, Tamiyo and others were named and even briefly seen in the story but had virtually no lines. Even characters like Nissa had very little important “screen time” throughout the novel, despite having quite a bit of exposition available to them.  
Tumblr media
This problem even extended down past the Planeswalkers of the story, but to a greater degree. Characters that lined up with the Planeswalkers’ interest, like Aurelia and Tomik and even Emmara Tandris and Trostani were able to get some dialogue throughout the story, but there was a gaping hole where so many important Ravnica-native characters were left out. Normally, this is easily excusable for the sake of the story, but when you remember that the entire set of cards was previewed just before the release of the novel, this created and awkward mix of expectations versus what we received. People were excited to see long-beloved characters like Fblthp and Feather finally receive cards, along with the Vorthos phantom Massacre Girl. Then characters like Krenko were never mentioned and even exciting new character Roaleks was briefly mentioned, but then never seen or heard. By the end of the novel, I very much felt like this was the second book in a series and I had missed the first book. There can be a point made that the cards do not always have to be drawn into the story, but given that the cards were not only previewed in story order but also even highlighted by what “Act” they appeared in, it feels very strange to see these Acts feel like they’re missing parts.
The Endgame
Tumblr media
My final main criticism of the novel was the endgame of the plot. The whole idea is that Nicol Bolas is attempting to gain godhood by drawing Planeswalkers to Ravnica with the beacon that Ral Zarek was manipulated into making to try to assemble Magic’s version of the Avengers, then trap them on the plane with the Immortal Sun that Tezzeret and Vraska stole from Azor on Ixalan. Finally, the Dreadhorde of Amonkhet lazotep-covered zombies were the mindless drones, led by Liliana, to draw out the sparks of Planeswalkers to send them back to Nicol Bolas as a godhood battery. In terms of evil plots, it is not terrible and the lamenting of the characters like Ral Zarek did a decent job at setting Nicol Bolas up as the omnipotent thinker who was always one step ahead. But in the end, it seemed as though the bad guy went down with… Well, very little fight.
The simple moral of the story was that Bolas’ own hubris cost him his own victory. Imbuing Hazoret’s weapon with his own essence, treating Liliana like a soulless drone and overall underestimating how dangerous an army of Planeswalkers could be were the big points that get made in the last chapter by Ugin. Which begs the question: for a creature that thinks so far ahead to make his enemies think they’re stopping him but really are just playing into his plans, these seem like relatively obvious things to overlook. The conclusion feels less like the heroes banded together to thwart a God-powered Elder Dragon and pre-Mending Planeswalker and more like Bolas was a childish whelp with a touch of power that finally got what was coming to him. It came across very unsatisfying, given that this was supposed to be the conclusion of a decade-long set of stories all coming together and the ending of this phase of the story and the last of Bolas’ arc(s).
In Conclusion
Sadly, I think this was poor expectation management combined with some other limitations… Time, page count, etc. can all be attributing factors that may be outside of many people’s control. For what it is worth, the novel did the job of showing us how the arc has ended, and the plot points do follow what we expected from the preview season of the card set. The only unfortunate conclusion I can come to is that the novel is almost like a SparkNotes version of what we wanted. If War of the Spark had been a trilogy, I think we could have gotten something much more epic-feeling and satisfying. Overall, despite understanding those other factors and the limitations, I wouldn’t rate the novel above a 4/10, though I think it falls as a 3 in my personal preferences. Too many of the characters I was excited to see were not even mentioned and again; Expectation management dictated that they would at least have a line in the story, even if it was just a third-party mention of what they were doing during the conflict.
If this is the beginning of Magic: the Gathering novels coming back as a regular occurrence, I believe Wizards needs to look at their previous attempts and learn from what made (some) of those stories great. They need to look at what we, the fans, are saying about War of the Spark and learn from what we’re telling them we didn’t enjoy about the experience. There may not be a perfect answer where everyone is happy and the company has the team, funding and people to provide it to us, but I have to believe there is a way to obtain a better experience and a higher success rate than what we got in this instance.
Here’s to hoping for a better future, Wizards. Thanks for reading.

[CHANGING MY NAME TO: Mo (first name) Torious (last name)] i asked my parents if I could come up to westchester to have dinner with them, or to briefly stay while I looked for an apartment. They said no. It’s funny, Dr Tabar at Belkvue Hospital (Dr Mounir, intake), told me that I should cut off my relationship with my mother. The only reason my father asked me to attend her 80th birthday party, was to keep up appearances. Before the night was over, and after my speech (unmmmzm....I got you a car), he told me in no uncertain terms that I am no longer welcome in his house. I dove get it. His brother Ladipo Fayemi is a caseworker at HRA HASA, who never once intervened for me, and who nobody in that agency thought to refer my case to. Mr. McCoy, used to make fun of the name. No matter, I no longer want to be called that. I told them that since my father still continues to lie about not having received a copy of the doctored IRS Filings which Lucy Ostrofsky (acting in house counsel) had filed, directly ignoring my instructions, before I was forced out of the company and off the corporate bank account (it takes 3 members of management: myself, Richard McGinnis (Kurt Salmon Associates), President of Motorious Retail Stores (m&m/Mars Family: sponsor of Kyle Bush’s Toyota at NASXAR), patent holder, casino slot machine algorithms) and Philip Munger (who once, unbeknownst to me, withdrew $5,000 in cash from his personal Citibank account, and deposited it into my (the corporate) account, triggering FBI Money Laundering Red Flag: I have never even seen $5,000.00 in cash in one place in my entire life. I spent $500 to $10,000/month on my AMEX PLATINUM: and repaid it within 30 days. Beginning in 1992. Until I didn’t and went bankrupt for $60,000. Bottom line: I don’t trust the man, and he and I no longer have a relationship. All he and my mother have done is agree with the psychiatrists who keep diagnosing me with paranoid delusions that I run a company. All this, I believe, because the only company he ever ran, ended up in trouble with the IRS. I’m beginning to be really suspect about his book selling and his AIDS Charity for orphans in Africa. Before he kicked me out of the house, he asked me if I wanted to help him with his Foundation, and I said « no » I want German citizenship. A look at my brief work history shows I never stay in 1 place very long. What’s wrong with having wanted a change and to seek opportunities abroad? Science Advisers, led by Norman Heyman, Jean Robert Le Shufy, and Kevin DeVito (New Capital Horizons, the US arm of New Capital AG in Switzerland: COPE Holdings (XTERA DAX | NASDAQ) Zuggero, CEO | lent ICV, llc (Integrated Concepts Vehicles, llc, Flipboard.com/@ICV_llc, the first $137,000 after I had lent the corporation $60,000. MOTORIOUS MONEY GRID: says $100,000.00 loan am was made by Phil Munger on November 1, 1999. If that had been the case, why were none of the vendors at the show paid, and why did I receive a phone message on December 31, 1999 from Philip Munger: [email protected], the DAY AFTER I received a message from Wayne Irving of Spin Records that he had secured $25 Million from ING Barings? My only Full Time Employee: John Goodwin, who I met at Pump No 8 at the Mobil Gas Station in Rancho Palos Verdea, took a salary of $80,000.00 + benefits + expense reimbursement, where on July 2, 1999 he secured an LOI with the Make A Wish charity for a proposed October 31, 2000 Charity Rade at Texas Motor Speedway. He had 9 months to secure a deal with Ford to provide NASCAR vehicles for the event, which was supposed to commemorate 100 Years of Motorsports in America, and also commemorate both Ford and Harley Davidson’s 100th Anniversary. Moose returned saying that the sponsors (especially the protected sponsor, Coke, will not let the drivers out of their contests to drive the event) Autoweek Magazine, the same issue it quoted several drivers as wanting to participate, reported that My Apple Laptop « had ears ». Motor Trend Magazine wrote an article entitled « The Automotive Analyst », a « fictitious story about a Wall Street analyst having problems with his wife, while talking to his shrink. The concluding sentence: « Build The Car » My only contribution to Ford would have been when I called the $3 million monstrosity (Focus) built by John Colletti and Motor Trend: Ian Cartabiano has penned a sick Mis-Engined Ford Focus Rally Car, which was to have shared a platform with the Renault R5 (Nissan: where Doi had previously worked after NCIS). That, and the referral from Mark Stehrenberger to Scott Sharpe Racing, to [Ford Tuner: I ferget] , who wrote a proposal for tuning the 4.0 liter Jaguar V8 for the Motorious Show Stand, as a potential BMW M5 competitor. Of the $137,000.00 loan, $50,000 went to Mark Stehrenberger Design, who was to generate 3 proposals for the Deusenberg PHAETON: Mercedes Benz Ocean 4 door convertible concept...to.

[CHANGING MY NAME TO: Mo (first name) Torious (last name)]
i asked my parents if I could come up to westchester to have dinner with them, or to briefly stay while I looked for an apartment.
They said no. It’s funny, Dr Tabar at Belkvue Hospital (Dr Mounir, intake), told me that I should cut off my relationship with my mother. The only reason my father asked me to attend her 80th birthday party, was to keep up appearances. Before the night was over, and after my speech (unmmmzm....I got you a car), he told me in no uncertain terms that I am no longer welcome in his house. I dove get it. His brother Ladipo Fayemi is a caseworker at HRA HASA, who never once intervened for me, and who nobody in that agency thought to refer my case to. Mr. McCoy, used to make fun of the name. No matter, I no longer want to be called that.
I told them that since my father still continues to lie about not having received a copy of the doctored IRS Filings which Lucy Ostrofsky (acting in house counsel) had filed, directly ignoring my instructions, before I was forced out of the company and off the corporate bank account (it takes 3 members of management: myself, Richard McGinnis (Kurt Salmon Associates), President of Motorious Retail Stores (m&m/Mars Family: sponsor of Kyle Bush’s Toyota at NASXAR), patent holder, casino slot machine algorithms) and Philip Munger (who once, unbeknownst to me, withdrew $5,000 in cash from his personal Citibank account, and deposited it into my (the corporate) account, triggering FBI Money Laundering Red Flag: I have never even seen $5,000.00 in cash in one place in my entire life. I spent $500 to $10,000/month on my AMEX PLATINUM: and repaid it within 30 days. Beginning in 1992. Until I didn’t and went bankrupt for $60,000.
Bottom line: I don’t trust the man, and he and I no longer have a relationship. All he and my mother have done is agree with the psychiatrists who keep diagnosing me with paranoid delusions that I run a company. All this, I believe, because the only company he ever ran, ended up in trouble with the IRS. I’m beginning to be really suspect about his book selling and his AIDS Charity for orphans in Africa. Before he kicked me out of the house, he asked me if I wanted to help him with his Foundation, and I said « no » I want German citizenship.
A look at my brief work history shows I never stay in 1 place very long. What’s wrong with having wanted a change and to seek opportunities abroad?
Science Advisers, led by Norman Heyman, Jean Robert Le Shufy, and Kevin DeVito (New Capital Horizons, the US arm of New Capital AG in Switzerland: COPE Holdings (XTERA DAX | NASDAQ) Zuggero, CEO | lent ICV, llc (Integrated Concepts Vehicles, llc, Flipboard.com/@ICV_llc, the first $137,000 after I had lent the corporation $60,000.
MOTORIOUS MONEY GRID: says $100,000.00 loan am was made by Phil Munger on November 1, 1999. If that had been the case, why were none of the vendors at the show paid, and why did I receive a phone message on December 31, 1999 from Philip Munger: [email protected], the DAY AFTER I received a message from Wayne Irving of Spin Records that he had secured $25 Million from ING Barings?
My only Full Time Employee: John Goodwin, who I met at Pump No 8 at the Mobil Gas Station in Rancho Palos Verdea, took a salary of $80,000.00 + benefits + expense reimbursement, where on July 2, 1999 he secured an LOI with the Make A Wish charity for a proposed October 31, 2000 Charity Rade at Texas Motor Speedway.
He had 9 months to secure a deal with Ford to provide NASCAR vehicles for the event, which was supposed to commemorate 100 Years of Motorsports in America, and also commemorate both Ford and Harley Davidson’s 100th Anniversary. Moose returned saying that the sponsors (especially the protected sponsor, Coke, will not let the drivers out of their contests to drive the event)
Autoweek Magazine, the same issue it quoted several drivers as wanting to participate, reported that My Apple Laptop « had ears ». Motor Trend Magazine wrote an article entitled « The Automotive Analyst », a « fictitious story about a Wall Street analyst having problems with his wife, while talking to his shrink. The concluding sentence: « Build The Car »
My only contribution to Ford would have been when I called the $3 million monstrosity (Focus) built by John Colletti and Motor Trend: Ian Cartabiano has penned a sick Mis-Engined Ford Focus Rally Car, which was to have shared a platform with the Renault R5 (Nissan: where Doi had previously worked after NCIS).
That, and the referral from Mark Stehrenberger to Scott Sharpe Racing, to [Ford Tuner: I ferget] , who wrote a proposal for tuning the 4.0 liter Jaguar V8 for the Motorious Show Stand, as a potential BMW M5 competitor.
Of the $137,000.00 loan, $50,000 went to Mark Stehrenberger Design, who was to generate 3 proposals for the Deusenberg PHAETON: Mercedes Benz Ocean 4 door convertible concept...to.
