Football, Oprah, and P. Diddy

approx. 10:30am, EDT: "Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey to hold livestream rally from Michigan"

I never realized Oprah was politically active. There's a certain image of her I've never been able to shake, whether it's a result of my age or the fact my mother watched a lot of daytime TV. Every time I see her, I just think of free cars and prizes under seats. Perhaps that's reductive, given her long career as a journalist, but I'm not sure "Oprah" and "political rally" belong in the same sentence.

12:31pm, EDT: "Michigan Football to start Alex Orji at quarterback on Saturday vs. USC"

I will never understand why The Detroit News considers every banal college and professional sports update to be breaking news. I promise I'm not signed up for any sports updates. I suppose I'm happy for him. Or sad. Whichever.

1:14pm, EDT: "Second man dies after Eastern Market shooting"

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm making light of this situation, but I don't think Detroit can have successful sports teams. Follow me for a second, if you will: Philadelphia is notorious for the destruction that follows sporting events. I once heard it said "Whether the Eagles win or lose, a car is being lit on fire." Detroit is becoming like that. Our teams were all garbage, so disappointment was all but assured, and no one had to get hurt about it. Gun violence isn't as common here as some think, yet the second our newly-decent football team loses, someone picks a deadly fight at a tailgate. I was also shocked that the TV news didn't consider the initial event to be important enough to cover at 7pm, about an hour after it happened.

3:32pm, EDT: "Jeep cuts production of Gladiators and Wranglers at Toledo plant"

Something something Motor City. I know a lot of people whose parents are employed by the Big Three, but I cannot bring myself to follow every corporate twitch of the automotive industry. This one is also novel for the pure fact that it mentions Ohio, one of the Michigan cardinal sins.

10:34pm, EDT: "Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces federal charges in New York, his lawyer says"

Send this man to jail. I don't care about anything he's ever made that people have ever liked, and if I have to hear one more person bring up his relationship to Biggie, I'm going to lose it. Being the protégé of a beloved man does not make you better, above reproach, or incapable of committing crimes. It might make you incapable of committing crimes in places not recorded by security cameras, but that also may just be a Diddy problem.

On a personal note:

I'm not sure what to write here. Journalism school has been frustrating in both familiar and completely new ways, and I've never felt worse about my writing. I skipped out on keeping a journal in my adolescence (unless the occasional embarrassing tumblr post counts), which is odd when you consider my general affect, both then and now. I've never felt the need to put my reflections in writing - I spend enough time in my own head - but perhaps getting these mundane thoughts out in a directed manner will stop me from taking a long walk off a bridge named after some hockey player.

Until tomorrow,

Patrice Banks: Trailblazing the Automotive Industry at Girls Auto Clinic by Educating and Empowering

Although in recent years, the involvement and the role of women in the working industry have increased positively, there are still areas around the world where discrimination and ostracization regarding many job opportunities and the know-how on certain roles are present.  

Due to some job positions being male-dominated for many long ago, there are still places of work that instill this practice and look down on women who have the interest and desire to learn the same.   

Being taken advantage of made fun of and teased, received derogatory comments, and many other such incidences are still faced by our women even in this generation. Education, learning, and knowledge are for everyone, and not just limited to one gender just because they have been overseeing and managing certain roles for several years. 

Times have changed, and equality is encouraged. Many women are coming into the light and being recognized for their innovations, creations, ideas, and contributions in the workplace and the world. 

Therefore through this article, we aim to provide the much-needed awareness and recognition of the strength, resilience, and importance of our women in our lives as well as in the employment industry, regardless of the role. If she and they can do it, then SHECANICS. 

Shecanics is the word phrase given to women to encourage and recognize them as confident, strong, educated, drivers, and learners in the Automotive Industry. The phrase was brought about by Patrice Banks, who is the CEO and Founder of the No.1 Customer in the AutoBiz Industry – Girls Auto Clinic (GAC). This article will cover Patrice Banks’ story and journey at Girls Auto Clinic. 

Patrice Banks – Engineer, CEO, Founder, Aoto-Mechanic, Author, and Speaker:

Having a degree in Materials Engineering and a diploma in Automotive Technology, Patrice Banks worked for over 12 years at DuPont as an Engineer, Leader, and Manager. Having been able to apply her skills, learn the tools, gears, and turns, as well as gain experience in leading and managing, Patrice Banks knew that her fate and skills lie somewhere that would require a whole lot of determination and resilience. 

Hence being an auto airhead and having a lot of interest in cars and automation, Patrice Banks left her 12-year work experience at DuPont and enrolled herself in an Automotive Technology School, to learn and educate herself.

This motivation was also spurred by her experience with mechanics that were male-dominated in her place. Hailing from Philadelphia, The United States of America, Patrice was extremely disappointed and felt cheated and scammed by the men who worked in the auto repair shops. 

Taking advantage of her being a female, the mechanics used to give her a hard time whenever she took her car for regular maintenance and any repairs. This frustrated Patrice and acted as a driving force in kick-starting her career into gear. 

‘Wanting to empower women to have an equal voice and role in all aspects of the auto industry’ – Patrice Banks set out on a mission to find women to join her cause and share her goals. 

To find female mechanics in her city – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Patrice started her mission of creating and building her very own designed business model in the Automotive Industry to encourage, uplift, and empower women, who share the same desires and dreams as her. This is how Girls Auto Clinic was born.

Girls Auto Clinic – The Kick-Starting Journey to Becoming the No. 1 Customer:

Girls Auto Clinic – GAC, was founded by Chief Executive Officer – Patrice Banks. 

Established in the year 2017 in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, USA, the idea and work put in to start this venture was really in the year 2013, when the founder taught Car Care Workshops in Philadelphia.

Vision Statement – “To inspire, educate, and employ women across the United States.”

It is a Black Woman-Owned Automotive Repair Shop that provides a complete and all-time satisfactory service to its customers. Encouraging and empowering women who are owners of cars or even plan to purchase cars, are encouraged by Girls Auto Clinic.

Supporting equity and inclusivity in the workplace, men are welcomed in working and learning at Girls Auto Clinic – GAC.

Mission Statement – “To educate and empower women through their cars.”

Partnered with Ford, Girl Scouts, Dell, and Honda, Patrice Banks takes Girls Auto Clinic on an inspiring and revolutionary car ride that keeps going forward in achieving their goals and missions by – ‘growing a community of women and girls to redefine the automotive world on their terms’. 

A speaker at TEDx and the author of the book – Girls Auto Clinic Glove Box Guide, the founder, and her company have gained global media recognition from several top and reputed places like – TIME, Good Morning America, Washington Post, Glamour, People Magazine, and many more.

You know I've abortively sketched it out elsewhere but here let's fill out

The Portland Suburbs Cardinal Direction Representation Scheme

In which each quadrant of the suburbs around Portland, Oregon, takes on the physical form, character, and even similar history to those characteristic of regions elsewhere across America. Let's explore:

West (Hillsboro, Beaverton) – The Northeast

As the streetcar suburbs stretched east across the river, the more established yet green residences of the Southwest quadrant (Portland has five quadrants centered on the rivershore in Downtown, the river cuts what would be "Northwest" in half radial-diagonally so that the half on the far bank from downtown, contiguous with Northeast and Southeast, is "North") started making an automobile-enabled stretch up over the hills and into the far valley. Commerce and industry followed, in successive waves of residue-leaving modernization. The abundant hydro and power of the Columbia River, and a comfortable area to attract college-educated executives, scientists, and engineers to promoted chemical and chipmaking industry, and the area is now the "favored quarter" of the region, with best schools and incomes. (The regeneration of the city over the 1990s-2020s first started substantially as a dining/nightlife/culture destination for these types and then lured them to buy fixer-ups) This area greatly reminds me of the northern suburbs of Philadelphia.

East (Gresham, Troutdale) – Florida

The streetcar suburbs made it out east around to Mt. Arleta at about 50th, stretching past in patches. When, post-WWII, the built-up hunger for new housing met the automotive Mass Middle Claas this working-class area (I'm pretty sure The Simpsons "Evergreen Terrace" was Northeast) stretched out past the border of the city at 82nd and kept going until by the 230s they banged into the outlying towns of Gresham and Troutdale where the foothills to Mt. Hood start making the Gorge part of the Columbia River Gorge obvious. The area was built out on an uninterrupted shopping center/minimall road grid with less attention to amenities like parks or sidewalks, but the city had to annex it in in the 70s after the feds required sewage system improvements they couldn't afford.

Some of the most Cascadian suburbs (traditional Oregon culture isn't farmers, it's forest laborers). When the Oregon timber industry fell apart in the later 80s and the city emptied out it got cheap, methy and criminal now increasingly brown and immigrant.

South (Oregon City, Clackamas County) – The Sunbelt

In range to the farming-based Willamette Valley, and having the most "country"-as-defined-since-the-1980s culture. Clackamas is where the guys driving lifted pickups to their construction jobs live. Oregon City is the first capital of Oregon, along waterfalls that required portage but also offered rapids for water power, and apparently a major center of white power for a few decades. Expanding in recent years, development tends to be commuter stuff built around freeway exits with first shopping centers with big box stores and restaurant chains, and "drive til you buy" housing developments beyond.

North (Vancouver, State of Washington) – The Northern Plains

You have to take a tedious route to get there and then they do stretch on, though you've never heard of anyone from there. Navigated by freeways for any distance though within a locality the existing farm roads do fine as arterials between some mix of cul-de-sac developments and old-fashioned "someone subdivides a plot into street lots". Vancouver is a town, cause they did that once. Substantially puffed out by the kind of business park guy who would move anywhere if it gave him a few percent edge on a spreadsheet (WA has lower income tax and makes up for it with a sales tax Oregon lacks).

Pop music of the 90s was fun. A number of period items aside - it is a long time since Spirit , Frank Zappa, Johnny Winter , Joe Cocker or Nation Joe and the Fish featured in a generalist best albums list - it set a template for the pop canon that has remained largely untouched for more than 40 years, by adhering to sure rules. Whereas all three movements loved completely different degrees of mainstream acceptance, a fourth, much less-recognized model was beginning to take shape. Spotlighting atonal noise and unconventional rock instruments reminiscent of drum machines, groups similar to Pere Ubu turned the pioneers of business rock, an abrasive subgenre that did not get pleasure from widespread popularity however impressed future rock bands. Many of the music created after Rome fell was commissioned by the church. The Catholic faith has an extended history of involvement (for better or worse) with the musical arts. In 600 CE Pope Gregory had the Schola Cantarum built. This was the primary music school in Europe. Ben Folds and company introduced the issue of abortion to the pop charts—from a male standpoint. A particularly fascinating twist is that it appears the male narrator of this melancholy song is egocentric and a bit of a jerk. Lyrically, this is among the most unusual hit songs of the '90s.

Originally from the Dominican Republic , bachata is without doubt one of the most popular Latin music genres right this moment. Though the making of Bachata music began again within the 1960s with the songs produced by Jose Manuel Calderon, this rhythm was not in a position to compete with the recognition that Merengue used to have. Fashionable music serves as an id badge for certain social groups, a badge that's worn with nice pride. Its bonding mechanism can, North argues, ‘be helpful to susceptible youngsters', no matter any anti-social message it could proclaim. He commends genre radio, such because the BBC's Asian Community, as being particularly useful.

In writing about many of the greatest pop information since January, I started to notice similarities across the board that weren't as pronounced in years previous — sounds were shared by artists who did not work in the same sphere and even the identical nation. This is different from producers having a signature sound, like the standing four-counts and zany key adjustments of a Pharrell vehicle or the drowsy, gauzy synths and samples favored by Drake's right-hand man Noah forty" Shebib. It seems like a conscious consolidation of the sonics of pop music, from several totally different palms, producers whose work, it ought to be famous, has escaped easy classification in the past. Memphis blues is a sort of blues music that was pioneering within the early part of the 20th century by musicians like Sleepy John Estes and Willie Nix, related to vaudeville and drugs shows. It was within the Memphis blues that groups of musicians first assigned one guitarist to play rhythm, and one to play lead and solos - this has turn into commonplace in rock and roll and far of popular music. As well as, the jug band arose from the Memphis blues, mixing the sound with jazz and using home made, easy instruments.

Musical revolutions in the Billboard Sizzling 100. (a) Quarterly pairwise distance matrix of all the songs within the Hot a hundred. (b) Charge of stylistic change based on Foote Novelty over successive quarters for all windows 1-10 years, inclusive. The speed of musical change—gradual-to-fast—is represented by the colour gradient blue, inexperienced, yellow, red, brown: 1964, 1983 and 1991 are intervals of notably speedy musical change. Utilizing a Foote Novelty kernel with a half-width of 3 years leads to important change in these periods, with Novelty peaks in 1963-This fall (p Overnight stardom is normally a fable, but once Bazzi's tune "Mine" hit streaming providers reminiscent of Spotify and Apple Music, that's pretty much the way it went. In the pre-streaming days, it took months for a track to turn out to be a success, and for a unusual singer-songwriter like Bazzi, might by no means have happened at all. Thanks mostly to his streaming success, Bazzi's songs have been heard greater than 1 / 4 of a billion occasions, and he now has a serious label deal and a success on Billboard's Sizzling 100 chart. Our tradition demands that young women crave validation, however Eilish and her cast of characters really feel no such factor. There are not any apologies in her songs in regards to the disappointments of affection — only poetic quips about potential lovers tripping over knives or the subject of a tune remorselessly burning the automotive of an ex-flame. Her music feels acquainted — who hasn't felt teenage angst and melancholia? — however she would not easily fit into any of the predefined categories for teenage artists: bubble-gum pop, emo, love-obsessed chanteuse.

Little Boy Blue

Summary:            

“Son, you look like you’re going through some hard times. And every once in a while you gotta accept a little help.”

XFXFXFXFXFXFXFXFXFXFXFXF

It was almost time. He could feel it.

He walks to the end of the room and pulls back the ugly brown drape.

Yes, it would be soon.

He knows it, can almost physically sense it, the same way he can feel the cold that is creeping through the edges of the window pane. Frost clings thick to the glass like tiny snow drifts in the corners. Absently he uses his fingernail to carve a heart into the icy landscape.

He remembers once doing the same thing to the soft skin of her back. She’d giggled as he’d traced ‘I Love You’ with a feather-like touch.

His eyes darken when he remembers finding the trace of red the laser had missed.

And just like that he recalls the city he’s lost the most in. His nails dig in, scratching out the ice-etched heart.

He should have known better than to seek refuge in that wretched city of all places.

He left in May and now in December, when most people are celebrating the holidays with family and friends, he’s just getting through each day.

He’s traveled across the country hundreds of times; usually she was by his side. She wasn’t always happy about it, but she was there.

But he’s tired of moving, of running. Tired of being without contact.

When he left, he’d thought maybe he could teach. Access to whatever false ID and credentials he would need was easily remedied. He’d moved every 3 days from May to July. By then his funds had dwindled and needed to be replenished somehow.

* * * * *

A small town with a community college in Arizona needed a Mythology instructor; Professor Kent Searcher accepted. He gathered the text books he needed, read them cover to cover and had his class syllabus prepared in three days. He found it ironic that he was looking forward to using some of the knowledge he’d worked a lifetime to achieve in this capacity.

Surprisingly, he was content teaching the students–some of them so willing to believe–who didn’t need solid scientific evidence.

The students sensed it the moment their professor’s mood changed, his animated speech breaking off in mid-sentence.

He cleared his throat and bowed his head, asking them to please study quietly until the end of class. He removed his glasses and sat, thumbs digging into the corners of his eyes.

The motion hadn’t been casual enough that they’d missed his reddened eyes and several wayward tears.

He got word the last week in September. They were coming.

He’d left with 8 bags in May. By October, when Mark Hunter took a job coaching High School Basketball, there were only 4. Two of those remained in the trunk of the car.

Six weeks later he accepted a dinner invitation from the 8th grade English teacher. He was lonely and longed for some one on one adult conversation.

She was attractive, though her beauty paled in comparison to the one he still loved. The one he still dreamed about every night he closed his eyes.

He arrived at 7. She smiled and ushered him into the living room. He made himself comfortable on the couch while she excused herself for a moment. He was shocked when she returned and placed a baby into his arms, “Could you hold him while I check the oven?” He nodded dumbly.

How could he forget she’d told him about her 6 month old son?

She returned to find him openly weeping, even as her son slept on, oblivious. He stood, handed her the baby and left.

* * * * *

Finally a bright spot on the horizon. He was needed.

At home. He was going home.

Danger.

A mad dash.

He was chased between boxcars and engines.

A missed chance.

A petite figure stood on the platform, watching the train with him depart.

He ran to his car, eyes burning, tears clouding his vision. He was somewhere in Ohio when exhaustion overcame him and he drove the car into a ditch.

* * * * *

He was found unconscious and taken to the local clinic.

The mechanic who towed the car offered him a job in exchange for the repairs necessary to get his vehicle back on the road. Mr. Guthrie didn’t even mind that he didn’t have any automotive experience short of putting the key in the ignition. He just said, “Son, you look like you’re going through some hard times. And every once in a while you gotta accept a little help.”

He became a wiz at tire rotation, fixing flats and oil changes. He heard the explosion as he was walking to the garage one day. Guthrie’s Repair Shop was a ball of flames; black smoke clouds floated up from the building. He ran back to the bed and breakfast, threw as much as he could into one bag and left town in the truck Mr. Guthrie had loaned him.

He’d abandoned the truck 2 hours later.

He didn’t know if the man who’d taken a complete stranger under his wing was alive or dead as he boarded a bus headed east.

Just one more thing to weigh heavily on his mind.

As the bus ate the highway miles, he fell into a fitful sleep, realizing; each time They found him was sooner than the last.

* * * * *

Donovan Seeker left the grocery store where he worked as a stock boy… man, went to his dingy efficiency apartment and changed into his jogging gear.

Even the snow of mid-December didn’t slow his pace. His normal route took him within 5 blocks of the Liberty Bell, but this night he travelled a new path.

He ran until he spotted the shop. He turned 180 degrees, saw the bar across the street and made his way in.

Dirty, dark and smoky.

A place for adulterers, drug dealers, prostitutes… and whores. Low-life, scum.

The kind of place she shouldn’t have been in… but had.

Anger lashed through him. He turned, slammed the door open.

Run, run, run. Legs pumping. Heart pounding.

What should have been ancient history wasn’t. It just wasn’t.

He made it back to the apartment, unlocked and opened the door with a forceful bang against the wall. He stripped quickly, climbed into the shower.

Hot, hot water. Scrub, scrub. Harder. Faster. He tried to get rid of the images, the anger.

Finally he shut the water off. Dried off, calmer than before. A car door slammed, he made his way to the window.

They were coming.

He grabbed his jacket, his wallet. Reached into the pocket quickly and felt the softness of his one memento. He heard them coming down the hall. Out of time, he opened the window and crawled out onto the fire escape. The old window slammed, catching his jacket sleeve.

They kicked the door in, searched the room. A leather jacket was hanging from the window. They looked down and saw him disappearing around the corner.

They smiled, knowing they would succeed soon.

* * * * *

He’s left his frosty window.

Reclining on the bed he lets his insecurities and anger reign.

Why is he the one running? Why aren’t they together?

Instead he’s the one alone. He’s the one unemployed and surprised at being depressed over getting laid off from a janitor’s job.

At least she still has….

While he has nothing, nothing at all.

Maybe she’s moved on, has another man, another lover. Someone to help raise their son.

Their son. HIS son. A son he should be able to see dressed in a little Santa outfit tonight, Christmas Eve. And then after he’s asleep, the naughty elf could come out and play. He could urge mommy to get naked and on her hands and knees in front of the Christmas tree, while they play 'drive the sleigh’.

Maybe it’s Doggett. He’d sure managed to fill in nicely in the work place. Maybe he’s warming the sheets too.

He knows it isn’t him, and hasn’t been since before William. So few times really; when was William conceived? He hopes it was after they’d shared a beer and movie date together. A happy, comfortable moment in their lives. He hates thinking she was already pregnant and feeding liquor to the tiny person growing inside of her.

He remembers the day he left with such clarity.

* * * * *

William was unusually alert and fussy for a newborn. Could he sense he might never see his father again? Scully started crying and he’d taken the baby into the bedroom, stretching out on the bed with him. Still shirtless after his shower, he held his son against his skin. His large hands held his precious package with tenderness and awe.

He began to sing, softly, his voice full of emotion.

Scully came into the room just in time to hear him choke out, 'he learned to walk while I was away’. She stifled a sob and left them alone.

William quieted, listening intently to his father’s voice singing a heartfelt rendition of 'Cat’s in the Cradle’, he’d finally dropped off to sleep.

After placing William safe and sound in his cradle. Mulder finished dressing and went into the living room.  Scully sat on the couch, quiet, subdued. They avoided looking at each other. He picked up his bags and was almost out the door before Scully was in his arms. She wanted to make love, she didn’t care that she’d just given birth. Kissing her lips and brushing her tears away with his thumbs, he gently declined.

Two hours later, on the road to nowhere, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the only thing he had of William’s. He brought it to his nose and inhaled the sweet baby smell, felt the soft yarn tickling his skin. Swearing to himself to never, never lose it.

* * * * *

But he did.

In fucking Philadelphia.

He lost the only physical connection he had to his son. Such an insignificant thing really, just the warming cap he’d worn during his short hospital stay, but it’d meant everything to him to have something that had actually touched his son.

There hadn’t been time for pictures.

He goes to the window again, sees his reflection and the tears streaming down his face. He has nothing to remember his son by, while she has it all.

He wonders how long it takes for love to turn to hate. He wonders how much longer it will be for him….

And if he’ll run the next time They come for him.

The end…

I wrote this years ago. Started it just after the S8 premiere and finished it just after Trust No 1 aired. It’s on Gossamer, but I’m going to update it a tad along with my other fic and migrate the updates here. So below you’ll find original notes.

1. I miss the X Files. 2. I miss Mulder’s passion and wonder. 3. This is dedicated to Jemirah, she makes my wild ramblings not so-well-rambling. *g* Thank you.
