I have come to believe that among a few curious onlookers of this web/blog, we now have Fast Company on board...  "What is going to happen next?"

Watch GOOGLE "autofill" distort your brain and control your thoughts!  Sometimes Google will try to suggest you participate in "Global Citizen Day" or care about "Women's rights"...

Simultaneously, Google autofill will always change a search for "sex work" to a search for "sex workers rights" or "sex workers union", etc..  Why?

If you search for "Massage Therapist" there is no concern to lead you to think about "Massage Therapist's rights" or a "Massage Therapists Union"-

because Google's policy is to oppose respecting Massage Therapists, while only glorifying prostitution and the interests of prostitutes.

I work on Google's Developers, Programmers, Marketers, etc. though I have yet to met Sergey Brin or someone in top management.  Sergey knows what I'm talking about, and he knows he is full of shit;

,a hypocrite and a liar, but so is just about everyone else, so who cares?   The puppets, the profiteers, the slaves... I haven't covered the Keith Naz story because it isn't unique or interesting, really, is it Gavin?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraveterinary_workers  In the majority of anglophone countries, paraveterinary workers with a formal scope of practice, and a degree of autonomy in their role,

are known as a veterinary nurses. The primary exception to this is in North America, where both the United States and Canada refer to these workers as veterinary (or animal health) technicians or technologists.

Human nursing associations have often claimed rights over the term 'nurse' and in some countries, this is protected by law...

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/ddd-8909204  ...The secret deal that allows sauna owners in Edinburgh to sell sex legally

...a 30-year-old document was signed by politicians, police and a senior Crown Office official in 1986 amid 

fears the city would be devastated by an Aids epidemic... Lothian & Borders Police, Edinburgh Council and NHS officials agreed

saunas could have prostitutes on the premises on the basis that they promoted safe sex and supplied condoms.

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) yesterday confirmed the existence of the no-prosecution policy.

9/23/2016: I had another dream last night about being married to Amy Pfaffman, which always leaves me in this strange happy/sad state the following day.

I continue to blame San Francisco's massage prostitution community (Gavin Newsom, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, etc.) for my financial challenges which led to our separation.

How ludicrous and psychotic can it be, to have the Hearst's and DuPont's on my client list in San Francisco, while being completely cockblocked from running a "normal" massage spa by the plethora of sleazy cokehead politicians on the take?

I'm 99% convinced that the new legal case in Honolulu that extradited sex traffickers from CA to Hawaii is being overseen by my friend Matt Chapman,

who is likely running for Governor soon.  He's a "CS Lewis" Christian, and owns most of Maui. 

I also continue to blame the supposed "loving" Christian community running the American Physical Therapy Association for fighting tooth and nail for 13 years straight to keep me out of the Physical Therapy profession - because my ears are pierced.

What does the APTa have to say?  Silence.  What does the AMTA have to say?  Silence.  What does anyone in "loving" America have to say?  Silence.

Ears.

9/16/2016: As a person becomes astutely aware of political inbreeding and incest,

then awakens to find the New York Times coverage of the Oakland Police Department's new prostitution policy

is headlined (WTF?) by a picture taken next door to the only rock climbing gym in Oakland, Touchstone's Great Western Power Company, where Michael's sister Alayna works,

I'm thinking, "This can't possibly be happening,this is wierder than Jay-z going to Iceland" and yet it is.  This is on the heels of the other day the San Francisco Chronicle putting Harbin Hot Springs on it's cover...  Is it the election?  Or is this actually important in the long run?  Is the money and the image management creating a conflict of interests?

Note noone in Oakland or the New York Times is talking about any of the deeper actual issues at hand, or massage prostitution, or gays.  Reminds me of how when I lived in SF,

during Christmas the animal rights protestors would throw blood on fur buyers at Macy's, while never daring to step one foot into Chinatown, because they knew they would get stabbed or shot

and their body tossed in the bay for the sharks to eat, and noone would say a word...  If the New York Times reads this, and this is some odd acknowledgement, I'm humbled, perhaps, but maybe a little offended and pensive.

I double-checked the maps, and the  recent New York Times headline article about prostitution in Oakland, intentionally misreported and simply outright lies (as usual)

claims that the heart of prostitution is 2.5 miles away from the actual statistically documented and very well-known area of International Boulevard known as "the track".  

I've said it for years, ever since I met William Randolph Hearst III at his house and met FBI Director Robert Mueller and his wife at their home as well... especially after MPA Media slandered me so they could protect David Palmer's lies...

"The Media is The Mafia".

Why is the New York Times slandering the rock climbing community and endorsing a campaign of fraud & terror?  Because someone upstairs hates me, and they hate this website.  

They respect my knowledge, perhaps, but they fear the results of honesty. 

I outed Hilary Clinton.  I outed Gavin Newsom.  I outed the Catholic Church.  

I outed the AMTA, the APTA, the AAOMPT, the CAMTC... I'm hopefully not done just yet... simply asking for something resembling peace, justice, honor... 

It's valuable to note that since "Celeste Guap" is entering PTSD psychological rehab at Stanford University, Yoga Nidra scholar Richard Miller, Ph.D. is following your story too, at least trying to, a challenge, since the media lies so often.

9/14/2016:  Stanford University has completely revised their Physician Assistant Program from a Certificate to a Master's Degree, reducing it's required prerequisite healthcare experience hours from 3,000 to 500 hours,

and deleting the recently added bullet point specifically stating that Massage Therapy was not healthcare.  I read this while re-applying to the UWS Doctor of Chiropractic, in stripclub utopia Portland, OR, also HQ for Nike, etc.

I realize I need to explain that the photo above is not me, it is the singer Keali'i Reichel from the cover of his album Lei Hali'a, which has two spa-ish tunes I have added to my playlist, Ku'u Pua Mae'ole, and the title track.

I recently met a woman from Honolulu who told me that she danced to these songs at prom, and at her wedding, they always make her cry.

Perhaps more interesting still is the fact that I was actually introduced to this album and Keali'i Reichel by a Roman Catholic monk, closeted gay, senior instructor at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory in San Francisco,

an award-winning teacher, honored equally by the Vatican and Oprah, who taught me to love and appreciate traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian culture.

OK, so where is my diploma, Dr. Paris?  Where is even a single moment of consciousness from the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists, or any of their WHO/UN colleagues? 

Sensing silence, and my mother is going blind?  Did she stutter and pause, lastly realizing her church has condemned me to poverty, her hero Billy Graham has nothing but gasping hollow hate to offer our family & the world,

no answers, no questions even...?

I had a dream that Chris Sharma was my friend.  Scary thought, since I can't possibly keep up with him.  Still might do my Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist for the NSCA by 2017, statistics, microbiology, lot's to think about.

How can you spend money to make money, when Stanley Paris won't make peace with Keali'i Reichel?  When Billy Graham and who's that asshole Barack Obama had oversee his Inauguration?  The "purpose" clown?  You know who I'm talking about.

Will he make peace, or think about peace, or tell the truth for 90 seconds? 

Speaking of porpoises, I've been showing a lot of people the Dolphin video my friend Mark Peters made, that is still sponsored by GoPro, and got Mark on CNN, covered by Smithsonian, etc.  Have you seen it?

8/4/2016:

Again, it is impossible to comprehend, yet true, that Team USA and the American Physical Therapy Association

holds, without debate or consciousness, that my simple Michael Jordan/David Backham-like pierced ears are grounds

for being "expelled on sight and shunned for life"- Yet here we have this (no, really, read this!):  

https://psmag.com/how-a-transhumanist-plans-on-making-a-splash-in-the-2016-election-ddf4f4ac0add#.tqjp3282o

"When someone has an artifical heart, we don't see them as a cyborg.  But when someone has a Terminator eye,

we all of a sudden see them as something that stands apart.  

There's a psychological impact here, what I call "speciation syndrome"-

when you can change certain parts of your body, sometimes it matters and sometimes it doesn't." 

---

NOTE: All of the arrogant assholes at Team USA, the APTA, etc. expelling and shunning me because of microcopic scars on my ears

ALL have transhuman technologies for cosmetic or pragmatic purposes - eyeglesses, artificial hips, pacemakers, botox, smartphones, etc.

All of them.

8/4/2016: I spent the last two days watching surfers north of Santa Cruz, and climbing the mountains around Big Basin Redwoods, coming home to find:

http://www.surfermag.com/features/it-is-offically-official-surfing-is-now-an-olympic-sport/#l24BfTHtClzuOZxz.97

Why have you been such a tireless crusader to get surfing in the Olympics? 

...I read Duke Kahanamoku’s autobiography. In it he says: “Even as early as that day [early 1920s], I was already thinking of how surfing could become one of the events in the Olympic games. Why not?…I still believe surfing will one day be recognized and accepted.” This is the guy that we look to as our founding father.

He was asking for surfing’s inclusion in the Olympics, 80 years earlier. I thought, We can do this. 

But getting to this point was like going out on a dawn patrol. It’s foggy, it’s dark, and you don’t know what you’re paddling into. It took me 20 years of paddling...

8/1/2016:  I was unofficially queried by a marketing guru from Garmin today... Apparently one of the top-dogs for Garmin lives on the Silicon Valley Peninsula.  I'm not quite sure what that was about just yet.

7/30/2016: "..."Obviously we want to be cutting-edge stylistically when it comes to the Olympic Games,"

says Olympic wrestler Jordan Burroughs, who won gold in London and will return to the Rio Games.

He calls this year's uniforms "very patriotic and representative of American culture."

***The American Physical Therapy Association and TEAM USA continues to claim that being a male with pierced ears is an EXPULSION ON SIGHT, SHUNNED FOR LIFE OFFENSE, COMPARABLE TO RAPE OR MURDER...

It would appear I owe Hans Florine the benefit of the doubt,

since I have previously speculated here that it was Hans, the Libertarian Ayn Rand fan,

who decided to put Bibles and gun magazines in the lobby of Diablo Rock Gym.  

In the August 2016 issue of Rock & Ice magazine Hans clearly states that an area of intellectual rapport he has with Alex Honnold

is in fact that they are both Atheists.  Hans's new book, referred to by rock-climbing legend Peter Croft as "bat-shit crazy", is launching September 1st

onthenosebook.com

When I asked Hans if he would co-sign a loan or think about finding a way to help me finish graduate school,

he was quite serious when he said, "I'll think about it" and I truly appreciate that.

He says my website is likely an issue of contention to some of my professed programs of interest.

I have yet to find any particular support or direct attention from the APTA, AAOMPT, AMSA, etc. and am still getting the run around from Palmer, Life West, etc.

so I re-applied to University of Western States in Portland, where I was first accepted in 2006, ten years ago, no problem, no questions asked.

the sole Massage Therapist in the USA to ever have had an occasionally rational conversation with me about the general topics and questions of this website

7/21/2016: Particularly in light of the recent Seattle Police Dept/Seattle Times hypocritical raving rant about abusive heterosexual men sexually harassing female Massage Therapists,

and of course the fact that RNC convention is in full swing,

I thought it would behoove readers of this attempted limited-budget blog to note http://www.mercurynews.com/san-mateo-county/ci_30119813/carlos-bolanos-sheriff-san-mateo-county-eshoo-speier

"It was rigged. It was wired, and they have no interest in public input," she said. "And I think that's an affront to every citizen in the county."

Note that Congresswoman Jackie Speier is talking about the most famous prostitution "john" on this blog, Sheriff Greg Munks, being replaced by the other most famous "john" on this blog, Sheriff Carlos Bolanos

both of whom were caught by the FBI and the Las Vegas Police with trafficked teenage prostitutes from Korea and methampetamines, and were let go because they blamed their taxi driver.

Note as well that Congresswoman Jackie Speier and said Sherriff's represent the county seat of Google, Apple, Oracle, etc.

and that several years ago Jackie Speier personally picketed Craigslist for promoting sex trafficking and exploitative prostitution, 

also she raised quite the ruckus when the American Association for the Advancement of Science (which I support) published a cover photo of transgender prostitutes that was deemed "offensive".

I have contacted Congresswoman Speier many many times about my situation, but she has adeptly avoided acknowledging or representing me. 

In a possibly related story, UFC fighter Mark Hunt, fed up and frustrated with being screwed over by the UFC, has announced an interest in starting an Association to represent fighters.

"These guys have lined their pockets with our blood", says Mark Hunt.

Have I ever talked about what happened the time a Massage Envy owner, rolling in cash but too cheap to hire an actual maintenance worker, incorrectly installed a bathroom doorknob without setting the screws right,

so it sliced a one-inch laceration in the back of my first finger on my right hand, which is now permanently scarred, 

and his only response, and the only concern of the Massage Envy franchise was "keep working" (while I am bleeding)

and "We're hiring a massive corporate attorney law firm to attack you before you attack us"

This is the same response ME had when I was sexually harassed and stalked, twice, by crazy female coworkers.  In fact, Massage Envy fired me last year, for trying to defend myself from crazy stalker co-workers.

I am very appreciative of my current employer, imperfect as it may be, and I still miss the $44 an hour plus tips I was making in Mill Valley at Evo Spa, where I met Metallica's James Hetfield & Robert Trujillo & Lars Ulrich,

as well as the openly gay Chief head-honcho MD for Kaiser Permanente, and lots of other wealthy and interesting people... I saw Susie Tomkins Buell (Hilary Clinton's best friend) there a few times, too... Always a Bentley in the parking lot in Mill Valley...

My point again though is that I have never found anything resembling competent professional representation from anyone, anywhere, in my 26 years of Sports Medicine studies.

The way I have been treated by the National Athletic Trainers' Association has been a bitter disappointment, the APTA has been genocidal, the AMTA has been violent, and the AAOMPT has been invisible.

Palmer has been racist, Life West has been the hypocritical bible-thumpers I was warned about, and the University of Western States, though still maybe a good option, has been quiet as a summer breeze... 

So it's fairly insulting to read ESPN's reporting on Mark Hunt wanting respect,

while I personally attest to being screwed over on a daily basis by my former friend and confidante William Randolph Hearst III, who owns 20% of ESPN...

I bought the original copy of Black Belt Magazine from March 1970 with my Sensei Ron Marchini on the cover, and I agree with the editorial by Sensei Uyehara criticizing honorary rankings.

I am not now nor have I ever asked for a fake Professorship.  I am asking the American Physical Therapy Association to honor it's own Mission Statement, and it's own Code of Ethics.

I am asking Life West to also not be hypocritical, and accept me acaemically one day, then give me the silent treatment the next day (current situation parallels that with University of St. Augustine and the APTA, AAOMPT)

I am asking William Randolph Hesrst, III, the FBI, Hilary Clinton's inner circle, Team USA, etc.:

Stop stabbing me in the back.  Give me the respect I deserve.  Look me in the eye and shake my hand.  Be honest.  Be the Promise Keepers you say you are.

In closing this post I need to note since people keep asking why I 'm not talking about the Oakland Police Departments "scandal" in being pegged by teen prostitute Celeste Guap as facilitating and using her as a prostitute-

I've noted for years the link between Governor Jerry Brown (former Mayor of Oakland) and teen prostitution, and this is why my former Law School Dean, USF graduate and former head of the California Bar,

had me expelled from Law School - note as Mayor of Oakland's wealthiest neighborhood, Piemont, Dean Barbieri was in fact the biggest pimp in Oakland, for years.  I've seen this BS going on my entire life.

Look at Lodi, all brothels and churches every five feet, where "Mormon" pot-smoking Dad of my best friend Mike is Chief of Police, Mayor, and the biggest pimp in town.

Kamala Harris is so corrupt she can't see straight.

7/19/2016:

I'm short on time, but I should briefly note a few things:

A researcher at a University in Singapore claims to have developed the first modern and truly therapeutic massage robot, EMMA, quite a leap forward from the Massage Recliner chair. 

Yolanthe Sneijder-Cabau saves 3,700 women, girls from prostitution http://www.dailysabah.com/life/2016/07/13/yolanthe-sneijder-cabau-saves-3700-women-girls-from-prostitution

Thailand's Tourism Minister is claiming to be pushing for an essential elimination of Thailand's prostitution industry, including it's prostitution massage parlors.

The Seattle Times published an article about the Police arresting over 200 "johns" in a police-run massage parlor,

which had lots of heated language critical of macho men harassing Massage Therapists,

yet with "business as usual" at the Seattle Times and the Seattle Police Department,

absolutely nothing is ever said or done about gay prostitution massage... :"Celebrate Sexual Harassment!"

This goes hand in hand with the never ending hypocrisy and corruption at the Hearst Corporation: "Rape Speech is work!".  Thanks Will!  Love the way you've treated me! 

German prostitutes are apparently complaining at being called prostitutes on their new ID cards and want to be called "modern" "sex workers" -

failing to note that the term "sex work" was created to miscommunicate, to be meaningless, to avoid using the term prostitution, and

to confuse and conflate the author of the Song of Solomon, the Love Poetry of Ovid, etc. with "sex work", including junkie street prostitution.

This is in fact all clearly explained in Carol Leigh's book.  Sorry, German prostitutes. 

Since the American Physical Therapy Association and the American Massage Therapy Association continue to, on the one hand, ignore me and refuse to honor their promise to educate me and give me my Doctorate in Physical Therapy because I have pierced ears,

and on the other hand, threaten to kill me because I am not a gay prostitute,

I joined the American Medical Student Association, which promises to advocate for it's members and for public health.  We'll see if this goes anywhere.

I sent them copies of letters where I am accepted for my DPT in 2003, then declined even dialogue some years later.  

I still have the letter from the AAOMPT completely denying authority or responsibility- outright lies. 

The APTA's sheer cruelty and blatant corruption leaves me pretty pessimistic about American healthcare.

7/11/2016

I'm excited to be adding the word "syncretic" to my vocabulary.  All three forms apply to my efforts to refine this website, and my career, to some coherent pathway:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncretism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncretic_politics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncretism_(linguistics)

I still like my previous term, "trans-tribal", which has the alliteration I enjoy so much, but obviously "syncretic" is the current accepted term.

Maybe the easiest and most interesting way to approach this term, and understand it's broad and powerful influence on pretty much everything is to read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Buddhism

The Catholic Church appears to define syncretism as a folly, yet simultaneously throughout Ireland, Scotland, Asia, and South America, etc.  

you will see example after example of Catholics blending old RC ideas with native culture. 

Lady Gaudalupe?  Is she Catholic?

If Catholicism truly cracked down on Syncretism, the so-called largest Church in the world with over a Billion members, would shrink overnight to being virtually irrelevant.

There's a reason the term "Cafeteria Catholic" is so easily understood.  

"Oh, please I'll have a wedding, and a funeral, but no exorcisms or confessions, and noone really believes in transmogrification, do they?" 

While conducting this line of research I did quite a bit of reading on the legendary and famous Teacher, Professor, Friend: Chiron the Centaur.

If it is true that this half-man half-horse Chiron is the emblem of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and

the centerpiece in the logo of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons,

How ridiculous and insane is it, how the American Physical Therapy Association has treated me, and countless other students and potential professors?  

Pierced Ears?  Shunned for Life!  Hindu?  Shunned for Life!  Buddhist? Shunned for life!

Why is Catholicism hatefully driven by a man wearing a dress who tells everyone to hate men wearing dresses?  People believe this?

"Princess Francis is wearing a new dress..." 

Furthermore, this research made it clear to me, what noone had taught me in grade school, that in fact while Kevin Sorbo's claim to fame is emulating Hercules, (and God's Not Dead!)

yet Hercules was actually famously BISEXUAL,

noted by Plutarch to have had countless male lovers...

Ready for that role, Kevin Sorbo? 

As I contemplate signing up for "23 & Me" and discovering my true DNA, will I really bre Scottish? Can I wear a Kilt without the APTA accusing me of wearing a plaid dress, and be expelled on sight and shunned for life by a man in a white dress? 

Aren't all the ceremonial graduation robes really dresses? 

What if 23 & Me says I'm part Cherokee, and/or Jewish, as some say? 

Will you hate me?  Dr. Paris?  Dr. Grimsby?  APTA?  Princess Mary of Denmark, what do you say?

China is to unroll the fourth national survey of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) resources to ensure a better development of the industry, said a senior health official on Sunday.

With the public need for TCM therapies growing, the number of medicine resources has decreased and people have turned to the cultivated ones.

However, due to a lack of standards, the cultivated TCM resources are sometimes less effective or even unsafe for human use, said Wang Guoqiang, director of the State Administration of TCM, at a TCM seminar held in Kunming, Yunnan Province in southwest China.

There is a pressing need to protect TCM resources, Wang said. “I’ve heard people saying that medicine quality will spell doom for the TCM industry, which I must admit, is no exaggeration,” he said.

The survey has been piloted in 922 counties in 31 provinces in China since 2011.

According to its official website, it will draw a clear picture of the variety, distribution, storage and growth trends of TCM resources, including herbs, animals, minerals and synthetic materials.

TCM includes a range of traditional medical practices originating in China. It includes such treatments as herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (tuina), exercise (qigong) and dietary therapy.

Although well accepted in the mainstream of medical care throughout East Asia, TCM is considered an alternative medical system in much of the western world and has been a source of controversy.

A milestone in the recognition of TCM came when Chinese pharmaceutical chemist Tu Youyou won a Nobel Prize in 2015 for her discovery of Artemisinin, a medicinal herb, to help treat malaria.

It's intellectual jujitsu time! 

4th of July, 2016: There have been several notable developments in American politics, and perhaps, maybe, I'm really not sure, in my completely ridiculous relationship with the American Physical Therapy Association

which has blacklisted and shunned me from getting my Doctorate, or even engaging in dialogue of any kind whatsoever, since 2003, because I have pierced ears.

I originally pierced my ears in the mid-90's after the last time Joyce Breckenridge broke up with me, perhaps as part of an effort to forget her, or perhaps it was to appear fashionable and cool like Charles who she left me for.  I'm not "transgender", maybe being of mixed ethnicity and my background in Psychology and Anthropology and Sports Medicine lets me say

I'm "trans-tribal"...

I shaved my head completely bald, and got four ear piercings, two in each ear, but it didn't matter, since I still think about Joyce and wonder if we could have married, but we've never got back together...

Before you read today's posts here noting the Florida Baptists complaining about the Department of Defense allowing transgenders somehow creating "weakness", note that

my friend Greg did his Ph.D. work developing missile technology for Raytheon with a perfect old-school black Mohawk while listening to Cannibal Corpse, Nine Inch Nails, and Public Enemy.  He still works for Raytheon. 

So anyways, I'd like to recommend a reading of the APTA's just posted article about treating transgenders (nothing at all is said about transgender PT's or PT students or faculty)

http://www.apta.org/PTinMotion/2016/7/Feature/Transgender/    "We haven't taken steps to be respectful and inclusive of your community."

Then here is the new Department of Defense Transgender Policy steatement: http://www.defense.gov/News/Special-Reports/0616_transgender-policy  

Then of course I would be beyond naive to not post this statement by the Florida Baptist Witness,

which likely states the views on these topics of my Mom and many others who claim to love me:

http://gofbw.com/blog?id=956  

Carver cited specific concern for Southern Baptist military chaplains and requested prayer for them.

Among Carver's unanswered questions regarding the new policy:

"What role will our military chaplains play in the education and implementation of this new policy?

What protections are in place for our chaplains who freely express their religious convictions in opposition to gender transition and sex reassignment therapy/surgery?

Can our chaplains co-pastor a military congregation with a transgender chaplain?

What are the implications of a military chaplain whose biblical counseling approach advises a service member away from making a decision regarding becoming transgender?"

Carver additionally wondered whether "military medical providers, opposed as a matter of their religious beliefs

to performing or providing gender transition or cross-sex hormone therapy," will be "protected from discrimination or military discipline." 

------ 

This story has further personal impact because of my 20-year friendship of sorts with Roman Catholic Father David Deibel, who was the lead Catholic Chaplain at Travis Air Force Base for many many years-

and primary counselor to the local Archbishop. 

Father David wrote my letter of recommendation when I applied to Law School, and like the entire local Catholic Diocese in St. Augustine and Sacramento, has been completely aweare of the APTA's discrimination against me,

"in the name of Jesus", ever since this bullshit started.  Father David is known to the New York Times and Boston media for his work in pedophile priest legal cases, sine he is a Lawyer, a Priest, and a Psychologist.

Note that when the Catholics in Florida at the University of St Augustine, Stanley Paris, former APTA President and founder of the Orthopedics Section,  in particular,

discriminated against me because of my ears, the Catholics in California gave me sanctuary and a job, until I started outing all the closeted gay Priests and Brothers that the Church doesn't want to talk about.

777

I also want to briefly notice the amusing coverage of "Pandrongeny" promoter Genesis P-Orridge by the New Yorker and a few others.  I think I've mentioned this elsewhere, but s/he used to come over to my house in Santa Rosa a lot and visit the runaways downstairs- this is when he was still married to Paula.  I think the articles would have better perspective if they pointed out how unusual Cazadero is, and it's proximity to Guerneville, CA means the Genesis was hardly the wierdest person in town.

To people like my friend Jerry, Genesis's "cult" interests are hardly limited to Gen's role in Psychic TV, note for example that he wrote the Introduction to at least one major textbook about Aleister Crowley, "Portable Darkness".

What is Donna Sachet saying about all these things, being it was through Donna that I donated my Suzuki 500 to a San Francisco GLBT Charity and Donna is 100% aware of all the BS I have gone through via the APTA,

         years of hassle-free service for my Manual Therapy and Massage Practice.  My first Oakworks table was delivereed to Kevin

May, 25, 2016: I wrote a letter
         to Senator Diane Feinstein's Orthopedic Surgeon, Kevin Stone, MD who I worked for before 
I was expelled by the American
         Physical Therapy Association (for being an American),
pointing out the fact that I am
         practicing medicine without a License,
I have been practicing medicine
         without a License for 26 years.  
Stanford University knows and is covering up everything.  Harvard hosted
         the Fascia Congress, but is covering up everything anyways.
Governor Jerry Brown knows, Hillary Clinton knows, Bernie Sanders knows,
         Barack Obama knows, and Donald Trump knows... 
The New York Times knows, the Lancet knows, the Hearst Corporation definitely
         knows...
Why
         am I practicing Medicine without a License?  
Because the American Medical
         establishment hates Americans, and doesn't want Americans practicing Medicine.   
Jackie Speier knows that Sherriff
         Greg Munks likes raping little girls...

 25 May 2016 The

2/12/2016:  I've been thinking a lot about America's double standards,

such as when I was recently fired by Massage Envy for reporting being stalked and sexually harassed by two of my coworkers-(the stalkers were kept on staff)...

Everyone knows if I was a girl, the sexually harassing stalkers would have been disciplined immediately and severely, and I would be seen as some kind of heroine.

In fact, the last time I had something like this happen, coincidentally again at Massage Envy, I had a coworker physically assault me at work, stalk me,

come to my house to spy on me, try to break in to my house, sexually harass me every day for 4 months, 

go through my backpack (getting to know you), and tell all of her kids I was their Dad-

I won a restraining order against her, and she immmediately did over $2,000 worth of vandalism to my motorcycle.  I had it repaired; she vandalized it 10 more times,

including the equivalent of cutting the brake lines twice (that's called attempted murder in my book) 

I went to hire an Attorney about suing the Massage Envy franchise owner for creating a hostile work environment.  The Attorney told me, point blank,

"If you were a girl, I would have a quarter-million dollars for you in 90 days, or less.  But you're not a girl.  Noone cares.  Case dismissed." 

Could things be worse?  I was at my storage unit today and I found famous winemaker DLSI Catholic Brother Tim Diener's "Blessing of the Grapes" Prayer he gave me,

and I found my employee manual for when I worked as a Massage Therapist for the Bernard Osher Marin Jewish Community Center.

Gems from the Jewish Community Center employee manual you won't see at most Massage Therapy jobs:

Page 5, "Bomb Threat"... Ask for Security to escort you to your car if leaving in the dark...

Maybe Massage Envy could learn a thing or two from the JCC about respecting reality, and respecting their employees... 

Why did Massage Envy cover it up and fire me, when I was their #1 employee, and I was trying to fairly seek justice about being sexually harassed and stalked?

Does it really matter, when this story simply reminds me of the fact that the San Rafael Police solicited me for prostitution and bribes, at City Hall?

That the lobbyist who created the California Massage Therapy Council threatened me with bodily harm, ordering me to leave the state, and the profession?

How many death threats have I had, again?  I've lost count now. 

How the Mayor of your college town solicited you for prostitution while you were studying NATA Sports Medicine, and the Catholic NATA Director (& the NATA)

covered that up... note that the Mayor did, in fact, go to prison for what he was doing sexually to boys at the high school next door to Sonoma State -

but what he was trying to do to me was covered up, by everyone, because it's always "business as usual" for "Massage" in sunny California... 

That these actions and policies of atrocity go all the way to the Governor's office

(Don't blame Jerry Brown, it started with Arnold, who you think should respect sports medicine, and oddly enough is widely respected for promoting Chiropractic?  Noone cares...

Did you know that when Arnold Schwarzenegger arrived in the United States, he was picked up at the airport by a Chiropractor? 

You think the New York Times cares about you, and is going to save you?  You think Hilary Clinton cares?  She should, but she's kissing big gay power's ass... Bernie?

You know Jeb Bush's signature is on my Florida Massage License from 2003 when the University of St. Augustine & APTA discriminated against me... without apology or debate...  

Are you fucking kidding me?  These are all true stories... Breathe and relax.  "Life is suffering", said the Buddha.

2/11/2016 : I'm writing today in response to the absurd move to shut down prostitution massage businesses in LA by the City Attorney.

The original politician chosen by the AMTA to promote prostitution massage in CA is LA City Councilmember, Sheila Kuehl.  This fact makes me think about

writing a comparison contrast essay about lesbian politics, being Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir of Iceland fought to make stripclubs illegal.

Who is talking about lesbian prostitution?  Susie Bright?  Why does Sweden have such harsh talk and penalties for typical heterosexual prostitution, yet it completely ignores

any type of homosexual prostitution.  I was talking to some lesbian massage prostitutes here in California recently about this, and they seemed confident that

for them there were no rules, and they could get away with anything.  They really didn't care how their business effected others, and certainly didn't care about "women's rights", in my eyes.   

I found my printout of Kamala Harris's editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle about the major prostitution/massage bust in SF in 2005,

which the SF Chronicle has deleted and covered up, as has Kamala Harris, and I suppose the most difficult part of that editorial is Kamala Harris's inability

to address the issue, without arguing about the ridiculous term of propaganda, "sex worker", a term made to sound leftist, coined by a capitalist entrpreneur.

In her 2005 essay, Kamala Harris argues against using the term.  Now Kamala is running for office to replace Babara Boxer in the US Senate.

So I was reading about Iceland, as well, and it reminded me about the bizarre conflict in the definition of "manliness" between dickhead Catholics

and men like Iceland's Magnus Ver Magnussen... 

I have come to believe that my website is read by and influences Donald Trump's staff, and I already know it influences Hillary Clinton... it has to. 

(While I'm here I want to say I noticed that the CIIS bought the ACTCM in SF,

and I also noticed that Elena Herschberger was tapped to do a "I love this college" video for AIMC Berkeley-

I wish my parents could pay for my entire graduate school education in cash, congratulations Elena, good luck with your TCM career...

If I could get a scholarship for Chiropractic, or get the APTA to answer my phone calls with respect, I would say I had the support I need today...

Lesbian massage prostitutes and the LA City Attorney's hypocrisy make me want to read the new neuroscience book, "Why We Snap"...

Maybe Donald Trump will give me a new job... Dosvidanya)

Apparently someone forgot to tell BMW that males with earrings aren't supposed to get high paying jobs respecting their intellect.

Don't you worry now.  The Catholics, Evangelicals, and other assorted assholes will let you know how much you don't deserve your job, or any job.

BMW should take it's guidance from real men, like Stanley Paris and the dickheads running the American Physical Therapy Association, right?

Thank you again for your support, Ola Grimsby.  

Oh yeah, I was first in line to see the opening of Ip Man 3 here in San Jose, CA.  Tearjerker.

1/3/2016:  So much to say, should I wonder about the death of Susie Buell's ex-husband Doug, founder of North Face, and how odd it is to now kind of "know" North Face sponsored professional adventurer Alex Honnold?

I read his book, Alone On The Wall, in one sitting, in one day.  "Did he get the girl?"  No.

I moved all my stuff to the Silicon Valley, since theoretically now I'm probably going to Palmer West for my Doctorate in Chiropractic sooner or later,

and I found the motorcycle helmet I put on Doug Tompkins grandson's head when he was about 3 years old, while visiting at Summer's house in San Francisco several years ago...

Too many crazy women at work. Again.  Wait, Isn't that a Black Flag album titile?

11/12/15:  Some people have wondered, "Que Pasa?", since I haven't posted anything in awhile.

OK, so I went to Taft Point in Yosemite (on my new BMW!!!) a few days after the memorial to Dean Potter was taken down.  Standing there scared the crap out of me.

I haven't talked to Hans Florine too much about it, I think it might be a touchy subject.  I noticed Alex Honnold "came out" as an atheist in a documentary...

After Hans became manager at Touchstone, Adidas came on board, but I also noticed Bibles and Gun Magazines in the lobby a lot... So maybe Alex and Hans don't talk about that topic... 

I noticed George Kousaleos is doing an NFL-related sports massage class, with some "speed guru", and wondered if

maybe my letter and call to George a few months ago (& this website) had an impact of some kind.

I talked to George about the assholes running St. Augustine, and the APTA, and the AAOMPT, i

n addition to what a complete and total prick William Randolph Hearst III has been to me, for about 15 years now.

So it's interesting to see the NFL working with George now, while still stabbing me in the back, "business as usual"...

I'm mainly posting today to note that while I think the media's absurd covereage of the murder of Marin County sex guru Steve Carter

(one paper in the UK actually got it right!) (everyone else seemed to call him a "Massage Therapist" or "Yoga Teacher")

the most ridiculous coverage I may have ever seen of any story, ever, is the coverage of Catalonia's recent vote to secede from Spain.

My friend Colleen went to the University of Madrid in 1995, and she showed me pictures of men in black walking around with machine guns-

Catalonia has been on the brink of civil war for decades!

Don't expect to learn the true story from pretty much anyone- like the legal status of prostitution in Washington D.C. and New York, and Miami, and San Francisco -

the story is too "loaded" for unbiased coverage...

I still haven't told Katie I started taking ballroom dancing lessons, in hoped that we might dance together...

I think I have enough money organized to start studying for my Doctorate in Chiropractic soon, but I am still reticent, and still hopeful to see an open discussion of my situation by the APTA, Obama, Hillary, etc.

You would think Susie Buell would be pissed off, being I posted her home phone number, and maybe the FBI too... I hope I got your attention.

But you're still covering up everything, denying everything, and ignoring everything, aren't you? 

*** 

7/11/15: Please note that my request for full public debate of my being expelled and shunned by the AAOMPT and APTA is fully endorsed by AAOMPT founder Ola Grimsby, Ph.D.

Note that this letter from the AAOMPT completely avoids and covers up the fact that my debate is in fact with AAOMPT and IFOMPT founder Stanley Paris regarding his

unprofessional, racist, unconstitutional, and unethical policy of expelling males with pierced ears... which has what to do with science?

Note that this letter claims I was not accepted to the University of St. Augustine for my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, that Stanley Paris did not personally shake my hand and welcome me,

and this letter intentionally misinterprets the notion that my query was regarding acceptance standards- as they well know, I was accepted unconditionally, and moved to St. Augustine where I bought a condominium near campus -

only to be told on the 3rd day of school that males with pierced ears and anyone with any facial piercing of any kind would be "expelled on sight" and shunned for life.

Yes, this policy would expel Buddha, and shun him for life, because he had pierced ears.  How is this policy not worthy of discussion by a claimed global healthcare authority of an organisation recognized by the UN and the WHO?

Why is the AAOMPT still lying, still protecting Stanley Paris, still covering up all debate?

Everyone knows that by now Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, etc. are well aware of my situation, yet they cover it up as well.  I prepared Robert Mueller to run the FBI after 9/11, and prepared Hilary's best friend's daughter for her wedding.

Hilary's best friend called me immediately when George Bush was elected- she had a headache and needed a massage right away... So why are you so silent on this Hilary?  Susie? Will Hearst?

My recent visit to Palmer Chiropractic College West went smoothly... Of course Silicon Valley would collapse and implode if it expelled all males with pierced ears, and anyone with a facial piercing, a la APTA and company...

I'm thinking I should maybe contact Fakir Musafar, the pioneering Sun Dancer of Menlo Park, who is about the same age as Stanley Paris and Ola Grimsby, but perhaps more shamanistic...

Of course the greater question today, which of course still forces me to again question the APTA's intense hatred and racist policies towards the world, 

I have been invited to, instead of immediately attending Palmer for my Doctorate in Chiropractic, - go to INDIA and meet my extended family in Mumbai...

I would like to visit BKS Iyengar's main campus as well if I go; of course I really need to pay some other bills first, but I think a trip to INDIA would prove to me I am right- 

Stanley Paris is small-minded... and the American Physical Therapy Association is racist, racist, racist... Maybe go to North Thailand and climb Buddha Buttress...

Note that when Dean Potter died, he jumped from Taft Point in Yosemite National Park. 

Taft Point is named after my relative William Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and President of the United States of America.

The APTA and Stanley Paris, and of course the AAOMPT, have no excuse or intelligent argument to offer for their obnoxious and uncivilized behavior... Too many assholes...

Maybe I can get Hans Florine to take me to Taft Point... Put me on trial, Stanley Paris!

6/22/15: Far from simple symbolism or "a comic", please note that should you purchase and actually read PROVIDENCE, in addition to it's revisioning of Lovecraft and

repeated wonder about what is "hidden below the society we show the world",

you only have to make it to the title page to read, "that darned Hearst, he dragged us all into the gutter.  Time was, journalism was known for it's courage, but look at it now.  It's a badge of shame, is what it is."

I'm trying desperately to move away from my thieving prostitute meth-head neighbors, perhaps closer to attending/completing Chiropractic College this time around.

I noticed that on Thursday the National Athletic Trainers' Association is hosting a keynote speech by former Massage Therapist and Paralympian Amy Purdy.

I find this timing "touching", since somehow I ended up working with a top-ranked Sports Medicine specialist for the NFL's Oakland Raiders yesterday, who clearly noted I was overeducated and underpaid...

He knows Don Chu, Ph.D. &  Kyle Prusso, etc.  (I doubt he knows the health policy lawyer I hired as a consultant to my analysis, Ms. Chu... she paradoxically used to work for the pimps at Reuters...)

Note that Kyle Prusso, DC, the head Chiropractor for the Raiders, is now the Clinic Director for the only Chiropractic College in the Silicon Valley, Palmer West... oh look, it's Sherriff Greg Munks! 

Still, it's business as usual: Christians/Catholics will not talk, or face reality, ever, nor will the puppets at the American Physical Therapy Association, etc.  "That's America for you!", she said, laughing...

When will I finish moving?  What else will the meth-head prostitutes steal/destroy?  Is this all to be appreciated as a Zen-ish lesson, to let go of all these ashes... 

The more they steal/destroy, the less I have to move or pay to store...  You wouldn't believe how high rent is now in the Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area, etc.

Amy Purdy found fame and fortune out of loss and torment?  Would I trade a leg to be "safe and secure" like Amy?  

Would you pay $900 a month rent to live next to thieving meth-head prostitutes who make the whole house smell like meth fumes?  You would if you lived in the San Francisco Bay Area...  "What a deal!"

What about the recent City of Seattle and it's DA's "modern" decision redefining prostitution as exploitation?  How will Kamala "clown allah" Harris handle that?

Is it a cultural influence, noting that the local hospital is "Swedish", and the locals are aware of the current "Swedish Model" for regulating prostitution? 

It's fascinating, of course, that the Hearst owned Seattle newspaper refuses to cover that story...  No suprise, really, considering the size of the knife they've stuck in my back... and the hundreds of stab wounds...

I love you too, William Randolph Hearst III...

SFGATE: Fighting Human Trafficking

National Outdoor Leadership School Wilderness Medicine Institute

July 21 at 10:42am

from Tod Schimelpfenig, WMI Curriculum Director

"In 2010 a group of wilderness medicine providers wrote “scope of practice” documents for Wilderness First Responder (WFR) and Wilderness First Aid (WFA). The WFA Scope of Practice document was published in the Wilderness and Environmental Medicine Journal. These documents describe what these first aid providers should know and what skills they should be able to perform.

The WFR Scope of Practice has recently been revised. ...The most current version is available here: http://rendezvous.nols.edu//content/view/2804/964/
There are no significant changes in skill or knowledge scope, a lot of work was done to clarify language.

These documents are not curriculum, a set of lesson plans or supporting text. There are plenty of these available to those who wish to teach. The writing group has no enforcement ability or agenda and our work is non-binding.

We do hope it sets some boundaries and helps clarify these credentials."

What if instead of going to New Zealand to take the LSAT for my Birthday, October 5, and mock the APTA, instead I put that off for now and instead work the Ironman in Kona and study some Active Release Technique (which also effectively mocks the APTA, it's racism, it's discrimination, etc.)?  Would superlawyer Matt Chapman of the Hawaii Supreme Court put me up?  I wonder if his Korean lawyer wife has read the Wikipedia page about Prostitution in Korea for the US Military?  Reading that somehow everything made sense, especially the FBI's corruption in pretending to oppose sex trafficking, with Korean War US Marine Vet FBI Director Robert Mueller covering up the denial, and denying the coverup...

General Chae Myung-shin, the South Korean Vietnam Expeditionary Forces Commanding Officer, also commented on the comfort women units during the Korean War in his memoir Beyond the Deadline (死線을 넘고넘어, 사선을 넘고넘어) published in 1994. Chae says, "The adopting of the military comfort women system strengthened the morale of officers and soldiers, and prevented sexually transmitted disease. There was a viewpoint that the army internalized unlicensed prostitutes who were spreading in society and protected their human rights." Chae also remarks, "I don't want to expose the military to dishonor, but I record these as the undeniable facts."

Editor's note: July 28, 2014: I was talking with someone yesterday who was told by someone else that I was their Massage Teacher, and that I had taught ("certified"?) this person my version of techniques I spent over three years and over $7000 studying under Tom Hendrickson, DC.  I knew said person was "a little loopy", but this blew me away, being this person has never received this work from me, nor seen me perform this technique, nor read Tom Hendrickson's text about Orthopedic Massage.

This person claimed I had specifically taught "spinal rocking" (Dr. Hendrickson actually calls this "wave mobilization"), yet during my only session with this person incorporating anything remotely resembling this, said person talked throughout the entire session and seemed solely interested in attempting to romantically seduce me...

The "spinal rocking" was really just a nonverbal attempt to treat said person like a crying baby, please hush, and let me do my job... Another WTF? moment...

In 1612, James I instructed Sir Thomas Roe to visit the Mughal Emperor (son of Akbar) Nuruddin Salim Jahangir (r. 1605 – 1627) to arrange for a commercial treaty that would give the company exclusive rights to reside and build factories in Surat and other areas. In return, the East India Company (eventually controlling 50% of the global market) offered to provide the Emperor with goods and rarities from the European market.

This mission was highly successful as Jahangir sent a letter to James through Sir Thomas Roe:

"Upon which assurance of your royal love I have given my general command to all the kingdoms and ports of my dominions to receive all the merchants of the English nation as the subjects of my friend; that in what place soever they choose to live, they may have free liberty without any restraint; and at what port soever they shall arrive, that neither Portugal nor any other shall dare to molest their quiet; and in what city soever they shall have residence, I have commanded all my governors and captains to give them freedom answerable to their own desires; to sell, buy, and to transport into their country at their pleasure.
For confirmation of our love and friendship, I desire your Majesty to command your merchants to bring in their ships of all sorts of rarities and rich goods fit for my palace; and that you be pleased to send me your royal letters by every opportunity, that I may rejoice in your health and prosperous affairs; that our friendship may be interchanged and eternal"

Full facebook post by Frank Dancevic about Wimbledon

I have to say that I'm extremely disappointed at the player services at Wimbledon Qualifying this year. Given that it is the biggest tournament in the world you would think that the payers would feel welcome and comfortable on site. Let me give you my experience last night.

I played my second round match starting at 6pm . I got through 6-7, 7-6, 6-2. The match lasted nearly two and a half hours. Given the fact I just arrived from Clay courts on Saturday and that I have to play last round Qualies 3-5 set match on Grass thursday, I needed to move quickly and do as much regeneration-Nutrition as quickly as possible. My plan of attack was to take my recovery drink,Stretch, Ice bath, Massage, and eat dinner. I need to move as quickly as possible to be able to wind down and rest afterwards. Here is how it actually panned out!!!

It is now 8:45 after I showered, I find out the player restaurant closes at 9pm. So I have no choice but to drop my tennis bag in the players lounge and eat first. No problem. I got to see the choices..Left over thai curry or pasta with meat sauce. Not an idea meal for after a match but ok I pound a bowl of pasta with Meat sauce.

Next I rush to the physio's hoping that they are still around to get a stretch. I see that they are in fact there and there is a few guys lined up before me. No problem.. I wait 15 minutes and get a good stretch.

Next Ice bath.. Physio tells me ''Sorry Frank there is no ice bath on site, The players are using a Garbage bin and filling it with Water and ice'' Haha WHAT..'' But unfortunately the staff left for the day and there is no more ice.. Are you serious. A multi million dollar federation and facility with no Ice bath for players… Ok no problem..

Next is Massage. I see a line up of players who finished before me waiting in line. I ask the Massage therapist how long the wait is approx. And he said he's not sure but minimum 1 hour. And here is another major issue.

2 massage therapists for 128 singles players. Are these guys serious? This is Wimbledon people!!! Get your S##t together. Add 2 more therapists and everyone is out at 8:30pm. It's unfair to everyone.

Ok No problem I need to wait for a massage because I have a 3-5 set match coming up. As I'm laying on the table waiting for a massage, my Coach comes running in panicking. ''F++k the transportation doesn't want to wait for use''.. '' They told me 10pm is the deadline''.. '' They want to leave'' WHAT haha. I tell him to go and argue with them to hold a car for me for 30 minutes.. He goes and comes back..''No they don't want to wait''… The head of transportation told him that Planes don't wait for passengers so why should they wait for us.. Also told him that he is rich and he can afford a taxi.HAHAHAH.. I can't believe what is happening at this point. It's 10pm there is 2 other players getting a massage before me and all this is going on. one of the players hears the news and runs for transport to catch his ride. So I tell my coach to go back to transportation and beg them to hold a car.. I finish my massage around 10:35 and realize I left my bag in the players lounge. I go to open the door and its LOCKED.. ARE YOU SERIOUS. I can't get my bag out of the lounge and all the staff left the site.. The car didn't wait.. Everybody left..

So here I am at 10:45pm. Standing with another player in the same situation. No Bag, No car.. At this point I just want to head back and rest. After walking around the premises I find a security guard.. He was very nice.. he unlocked the Lounge where I got my Bag and called a taxi for us. We finally left the site at 11pm… Sad that this goes on at the most prestigious event in the wold!!!

May 20, 2014: Legislation sponsored by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), H.R. 4225, passed 392-19, would make it a federal crime (99% of the media refuses to cover this story; I can't imagine it passing the Senate or being signed by Obama)

to knowingly sell advertising that offers commercial sex exploitation of trafficking victims.

(Note that the biggest media supporter of the California Massage Therapy Council is the major prostitution=massage advertiser the San Francisco Bay Guardian, which often pretends to be leftist, but actually uses a Republican philosophy to make millions promoting exploitation and fraud- the CAMTC is also endorsed by the Orange County Register, what does that tell you?)

"There is well established precedent for Congress to criminalize the advertising of illegal goods or services," Wagner said. "Surely the advertisement offering sex with children should also be subject to the same restrictions."

"It's common sense that if they're advertising the selling of a young child, it's sex trafficking," Maloney said. "This is something we can do that will literally save lives."

Free-speech groups including the American Civil Liberties Union raised concerns that the bill would unintentionally impose limitations on companies with vague definitions, however...

May 19, 2014: Received my first "print on demand" book from Amazon, Mike Kim's LSAT TRAINER.  700 pages of small print, published just for me on May 6, 2014.  I think I may be able to channel my former talents from when I was labelled "gifted" as a child (I could read, write, and analyze at a college gradaute level when I was in the 4th Grade) (people who say I'm a good massage therapist don't realize that this skill is largely rooted in my genetic ability to memorize anatomy) and score an LSAT in the 90th percentile or above, but I think now that I'm over 40 and am clearly not the bright "innocent" (Should I take the LSAT sober?) child I once was, I may need to study a lot, and therefore reconsider when I am actually taking the final LSAT score I want to take seriously, to a year from now in June 2015.  That way I'll have time to finish all of Mike Kim's advised lessons, all my Kaplan and PowerScore books as well (If Tracy from yoga at Diablo Rock Gym got into Cornell Law, and my ex-girlfriend Michelle got into Berkeley, why can't I give it a fair shot?), and maybe take the Federation of State Massage Boards Licensing Exam with my friend Jackie O, or maybe the NASM Master Trainer course, CSCS from the NSCA, etc....pay off some of the $27K I owe on my last Student Loan (using money made doing actual Massage Therapy, much to pimp/"CAMTC Director" Mark Dixon's chagrin)

I got a gift certificate to the four-star New Delhi restaurant in San Francisco (New York Times: "An extraordianry culinary and cultural experience"), which is so bizarre to me because of my past relationship with SF Restaurant Association (former) President Ken Zankel, and famous chefs like Alice Waters, etc. before the pro-prostitution extremist movement (Republican=Democrat)

(can you believe the prostitution propaganda coming out of Thomson Reuters?  Guess who owns "The Scotsman" newspaper?  Guess who published Josh Dressler's Criminal Law text?)

decided to assassinate my career if not my heart...

because prostitutes rights are more important than the integrity of anyone and everyone, including Susie Tompkins Buell or her daughters- right Gavin?  Loved your lecture on "entrepreneurship"... Of course the only business you ever started used your Father's money and Billy Getty's...

Don't get me wrong, Jimmy Carter made clear that the Dean of the Law School I was at in 2010 is the biggest pimp in Piedmont (the wealthy side of Oakland, where rich gay Catholics roam free...)...

So should I finally get back to Stella?  Did Stella get married, or would she go out with me to the New Delhi?  Why do I always meet hot women at gay bars?...

Since Stella is obviously a fitness professional, I wonder what she thinks about my understanding of the National Strength and Conditioning Association as an organization run by white Mormons?  Or how the National Athletic Trainers Association "Ethnic Diversity Committee" is for Christians only?

I filed a formal complaint with Sonoma State University President Ruben Arminana about how Kinesiology Department Chair (I was his star student, remember) Steve Winter has shunned me since our 90-minute meeting last Summer, when I gave him one of the Massage signs from the International Paralympic Committee's 2002 Games...

Can you believe Stella is over 40?  Check out what she did on my Birthday last year (remember, the American Physical Therapy Association made October 5 "Diversity Day" while shunning me for over a decade...the APTA is still shunning me today.)

How I met Stella is illegal in 77 countries... (the June 2015 LSAT is "Test 77", this June is "Test 73"...)

May 9, 2014 New York — Fine Sounds Group, parent of McIntosh Laboratory, is being sold as part of a management buyout.  The amount of the transaction was not disclosed.

[Should I say, "Happy Birthday" today, to my older brother, or stranger still, to the seductive yet elusive Erica O'Connor, who, while she had a key to my apartment, claimed we never dated to my boss at Massage Envy and had me labelled a "stalker" by Evo Spa, who turns 30 today?]

Who could forget Erica?

David Campos (born September 28, 1970), a "well-rounded" 1996 Harvard Law School graduate and member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors endorsed by the California Teachers Association,

Several "newspapers" recently published articles claiming the California Massage Therapy Council is the "thorn in the side" of sex traffickers and is the best and only approach to addressing this issue. 

Actually the CAMTC was created by sex traffickers, and well-known pro-prostitution activists like Margo St. James, Carol Leigh, and Robyn Few, with the full 100% support of Republicans and Democrats alike and virtually every media channel in America...

President Jimmy Carter knows why...

Several people asked me the other day, "Why don't you work for a "reputable" massage school teaching massage, like say NHI (largest massage school in California)?"

NHI interviewed me to teach in 2012 at it's campus in San Francisco, telling me I'm the "cream of the crop" (the only person there with actual experience teaching anatomy of any kind, much less University level anatomy with cadavers)...

Then NHI turned silent and cold, and we all know why...  

The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork has gone after one person and one person alone in it's fraudulent "support" for the massage profession and supposed opposition to sex trafficking: me.

I contacted Mark Dixon, acting Director of the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) for help in addressing this issue in 2004/2005, and Mark Dixon and the NCBTMB had one response: attack me and file formal "ethics" sanctions against me.  WTF? 

The following articles and examples may explain why, especially the ad from the Bay Area Reporter for Professional Massage...

Who's a thorn in whose side again? [Kimpton (Hi Kay!) has announced it's support for the Trevor Project...] 

Note again that 2005 was the year I was supposed to graduate with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT), but was instead compared to a rapist by the American Physical Therapy Association because I have pierced ears (in the name of Jesus!/?)

Being simultaneously hated by the American Massage Therapy Association (you're not gay enough!) and by the American Physical Therapy Association (you're too gay!) has been appalling, yet hilarious...

Note again, the Polaris Project/NCBTMB brochure pictured below was "finally?/WTF?" published in 2012, SEVEN YEARS after I resigned to protest Mark Dixon and the NCBTMB's TOTAL CORRUPTION and ABSOLUTE INCOMPETENCE...

Mark Dixon and the NCBTMB (AMTA) did nothing but cover up this issue in: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 after I issued my first letter requesting their attention and concern...

Note as well that Polaris Project itself was "hot to trot" on Washington DC prostitution corruption and sex trafficking when Bush was in office, then switched to an "all cover up, all the time" agenda after Obama was elected...

I was on the phone with Polaris Project founder Derek Ellerman about all this BS ten years ago, well before the NCBTMB attacks on me began...

At 77, Robert Redford Goes Back To His Roots-by NPR Staff--December 12, 2013 1:40 PM

[Editor's note, when I worked at the 2002 Ironman Triathlon at the BYU campus in Provo, UT, technically I was working for a hotel owned by Robert Redford, so in reality I was working for Robert Redford himself...]

On being known for his looks

"One of the things that has been sort of weird is to see yourself characterized so often as somebody that looks well, that has glamorous looks, or is appealing physically.

That's nice, I'm not unhappy about that. But what I saw happening over time was that was [what was] getting attention.

I wanted to be good at my craft, and therefore I would be an actor that would play many different kinds of roles, which I did. I played killers, I played rapists, really deranged characters,

but most people don't know about that, because that was in television.

So suddenly you're seeing yourself in a glamour category and you're saying, "Wait a minute." The notion is that you're not so much of an actor, you're just somebody that looks well.

That was always hard for me, because I always took pride in whatever role I was playing. I would be that character."

Contact with Father Sal has been established via LinkedIn, where I made a point of mentioning Brother Tim Diener and Father David Deibel...

My relationship with Father David Deibel fascinates me for many reasons, not the least of which is his pivotal role, as a lawyer and a Priest, in representing the Catholic Church in many Priest sex abuse cases,

resulting in repeated citations by the New York Times, etc.  Father David introduced me to Father Sal... Still waiting for that call from the APTA, AMTA, etc...

Gay Catholic Priest, Father Salvatore Ragusa, celebrated his Jubilee - 25 years as a priest - this month with a Mass in the Chapel and a dinner at St. Mary's College. Here are images from the Mass Fri, 2013-05-24

Monday, December 02, 2013- Physical Therapist Paris Begins His Bid to Sail Solo Around the Globe..."Stanley Paris, PT, PhD, FAPTA, FAAOMPT, would tell you that physical therapists (PTs) are a diverse, multitalented group of professionals"...

So I called the APTA to talk about "diversity" and Stanley Paris and the University of St. Augustine's broken unconditional promise to me in 2003 to give me my Doctorate degree, due to it's "expulsion on sight" policy towards males with pierced ears, and the APTA did what?  They hung up on me. 

Note again I am fully endorsed by AAOMPT co-founder Ola Grimsby, who also obviously is a FAAOMPT.

Stanley Paris's absolutely vicious war on diversity is legendary, worldwide.  The APTA lies, for PR purposes.  They know their shunning of me defies Congressional mandates repealing DADT, etc.

Stanley Paris's opposition to diversity, and his devotion to discrimination and hatred, is the only thing preventing me from getting my DPT degree and joining the US military medical services.

Check out the pink leather pants!  

11/22/13: I talked to legendary Lynrd Skynyrd fan, my biological father, who claims he saw them play Freebird the very first time they ever played the song live, yesterday, and he made a point of telling me how much he hates men who dress like women and wants to kill them all???

2014 Nominations and Elections for National Office for the American Physical Therapy Association is represented by a graphic on the APTA's home page using the colors of the rainbow flag, reminding me of the "Gay Pride" flag

[Note again that the APTA refuses to educate me in Physical Therapy, or even talk to me about Physical Therapy education, or give me my Doctorate because I am a male with pierced ears.

According to the APTA, males with pierced ears deserve to be expelled on sight, and shunned for life.  The APTA is explicitly anti-diversity, and anti-science... Still waiting for a  call from APTA "leaders" like VP Justin Moore...after ten years nothing but silence and hate...]

When you consider how horribly the APTA has treated me over my simple, common, ordinary ear piercings, it makes you wonder about the suffering and terror they must thrust upon actual gays...or Hindus, Native Americans, etc. 

I found my copy of Stanley Hoppenfeld MD's "Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities" that sports medicine professor and NATA officer Steve Winter wanted... should I give it to him?

Why bother going to school or studying when the American Taliban is running the APTA?

Wharton Journal has “gone gay” in conjunction with this week’s upcoming Rainbow Pub and LGBT Student Day...the LGBT community deserves their own edition...because I’m the Publisher (as well as one of those gays). -Added by David Teetzen on October 22, 2013

Wharton is widely considered to be one of the world's best business schools. Both Business Week and Financial Times have consistently ranked Wharton among the world's top institutions for business education.

Its undergraduate program has been ranked first in the United States by U.S. News & World Report since the rankings' inception. Wharton's MBA program has been ranked the best in the world by the Financial Times from 2000 to 2009 and again in 2011.

In addition, Wharton usually receives the highest reputation scores from academics and recruiters.

October 19, 2013: While I'm supposed to be in Scotland right now for the UK Sport Physio conference organised by Stephen Mutch of the Scotland Rugby Physio Team; instead I'm still trying to find respect from US Physios and/or get a decent paying massage job at least...

My car was repossessed yesterday, and I need to come up with $8000 in the next three weeks to get it back... Today I'm walking over seven miles one way to get to work at Massage Envy at 6AM- there is no bus on Saturday... Good thing I know Siddartha and Ghandi stories...

10/15/2013 Portland Business Journal: Adidas endorses gay marriage

CALISTOGA — Dr. Wilkinson’s Resort and Spa has been around long enough to welcome its 1 millionth guest this week, theoretically at least.

[I generally don't put this on my resume', but I worked for Dr. Wilkinson's Spa for one day in the summer of 1992 before I was hired at Golden Haven Spa.  Golden Haven Spa had air conditioning, tie-died uniforms, and let staff use the pool and hot tub.  Dr. Wilkinson's made you wear all white and you worked in rooms so close to the mud baths you sweat just standing there.  No perks.] 

9/24/2013: I read Lars Ulrich's comments about Metallica's new movie being inspired or influenced by movies about mountain climbing and butterflies, and I wondered if Lars or his Dad Torben know what is happening in my life today (keep in mind Torben is a world famous tennis player).  San Francisco Supervisor Eileen Teng's office called me to talk about new massage vs prostitution regulations her office is proposing.  I hope we talk today, but moreso I hope I find a new job.  I applied to be the office manager for meditation teacher Richard Miller in San Rafael.  True story...   Note again that when Torben first asked me to do house calls at Lars's mansion/compound in Tiburon I didn't own a car since I was still recovering from Erica O'Connor killing my Massage Envy career...

The above scene is a still from the Shaw Brothers 1972 movie Trilogy of Swordsmanship, Part 2, The Tigress. 

The woman is a prostitute & courtesan debating the issue of prostitution before the court.  The man about to be beheaded is a military officer who she is in love with.  Great story!

I filed an appeal to the Physical Therapists Association of Spain about my dispute with the American Physical Therapy Association, and sent another email to Galway...

Paddy Power said:  We love football but it needs a kick up the arse. In most other areas of life people can be open about their sexuality and it’s time for football (and Physios) to take a stand and show players it doesn’t matter what team they play for.

I climbed my first 5.11B clean yesterday, screaming.  I was belayed by a geoscientist who says he resigned from the Boy Scouts before he got his Eagle Scout badge to protest their anti-gay policies when he was a teenager.  Does the BSA owe him an honorary Eagle Badge today or some sort of effort at making ammends?  Is he a hero to some?  Enemy to others?

What about me being ordered to promote sexual harassment of Massage Therapists (prostitution and pimping) BY the California Massage Therapy Council, which is basically the Government itself?]

September 5, 2013: I emailed Cara Lewis, PhD about my desire to attend the Glasgow Physios in Sport Conference to see her lecture, as well as my desire for communications with Stanley Paris and the APTA

(have you seen their new headline promoting "professionalism"? "What's in a word? A term with profound implications for patients,  PTs, the profession, and society"

note that the APTA defines males with pierced ears as "unprofessional", as well as anyone with a nose piercing) 

and have been hoping Cara would call me.  Still waiting to hear Cara's voice.

I know this is going to get me in trouble, but I'd have to say I think Cara Lewis, PhD is a ravishing beauty, quite possibly as beautiful as Amy Pfaffman...

I emailed my old friend Colleen in Spain, whose father is a radiologist and she is a Spanish-English language expert, about how odd it is to have been hired to do Physio for coaches from FC Barcelona while being shunned by the APTA, and wondered what she would think about the Sylvia Plath-like experience I had with Erica O'Connor.

[Note, I was at the business launch party for Urban Rememdy at Evo Spa, and Neka owes me $46 for a massage I gave her in July 2009.  I gave Neka a copy of  "Cosmic Cookery" by my high school friend Gabriel's mam, Kathryn Hannaford, who ran the first vegetarian natural foods stores & restaurants in San Francisco, Marin, and Berkeley as part of a "New Age" collective in the 60's & 70's.  Neka owes me a formal conversation, as does her mother.] 

August 20, 2013: To give a visual reference point, after my decade-long dispute with the American Physical Therapy Association and Stanley Paris began in 2003, because I was supposedly a subhuman for having pierced ears, I was given sanctuary by followers of the Roman Catholic Patron Saint of Teachers in the Napa Valley of Northern California.  This is a picture of the main chapel at the monastery (there are three chapels, this is the one with the organ and amazing acoustics)

Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle or John Baptist de La Salle (30 April 1651 – 7 April 1719) was a French priest, educational reformer, and founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. He is a saint of the Roman Catholic church and the patron saint of teachers.

Note again that after being treated with utter scorn and absolute hatred by the American Physical Therapy Association in 2003 (still true today), I was given sanctuary from Stanley Paris's hostility and discrimination at Mont La Salle monastery in Napa, California where I was given free room & board for months... Saved from a Catholic, by a Catholic... "bizarre".

August 17, 2013: I sent a letter to the Christian Brothers at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory in San Francisco...Tonight Diablo Rock Gym is hosting an event organized by Rachel Hope Fowler, whose arms are bigger than mine- (does this make her "transgender"?  No, it means she's a really strong boulderer. 

I like the comfort of La Sportiva Katana "Women's" shoes, it's not a fashion statement.) as a fundraiser for the Food Bank.  Following the language theme of much of this blog, I bought a pair of La Sportiva Nago's and when I looked up "Nago" on Google images there are loads of topless women because in Polish "Nago" means "naked".

I told Rachel a little bit about the difficult to explain current financial circumstances of my life, such as that while a few years ago at Evo Spa my supervisor asked for two weeks notice if Metallica took me on tour with them,

today I am personally facing pending homelessness, as apparently my (five years ago!) affair with Erica O'Connor along with endless prostitution politics, including my endless dispute with the Hearst Corporation, continue to have me in quite the pickle, nevermind my "evolving" religious views...

The event at DRG is a showing of Reel Rock 6 & 7.  My lead climbing partner, a safety expert for Lawrence Livermore Labs, is bringing his wife (a Physical Therapist) and kids.

I'm not sure if Rachel believes what I told her about my relationship with William Randolph Hearst, III and Robert Mueller... and Susie Tompkins Buell, the International Olympic Committee, etc. Rachel makes me cry sometimes because for some reason she reminds me of Amy Pfaffman, maybe it's her smile...

Author speaking at SF Public Library–August 14  Publishers Weekly: America’s Obsessives: The Compulsive Energy that Built a Nation

In this quirky history, journo Kendall (The Forgotten Founding Father) profiles a “ticker-tape parade of American icons” in an effort to understand how their “obsessions and compulsions... fueled their stratospheric success.” Across a range of disciplines, from sexuality to sports, these seven legendary figures revolutionized their fields,

and they all likely had obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Kendall draws upon the good and bad in each of his subjects to paint vivid portraits of “patron saint of polymaths” Thomas Jefferson, marketing genius Henry Heinz, legendary librarian Melvil Dewey, sex scholar Alfred Kinsey, aviator Charles Lindbergh, cosmetics tycoon Estée Lauder,

and baseball star Ted Williams. Kendall explores how each of these “obsessive innovators” changed the world through sheer force of will by harnessing their personal eccentricities and foibles. From Heinz’s need to measure things, to Kinsey’s broad sexual desires and Lauder’s addiction to touching faces, Kendall delves into flaws that crystalize as strengths,

showing en route what made these individuals tick. It’s a compelling look at how personality disorders can rule and ruin a life, and how those who come to terms with their constraints can achieve great things. Agent: Suzanne Gluck, William Morris Endeavor.

August 1, 2013: 1) Congratulations are apparently in order for my Sonoma State University classmate Larry Allen, who now lives in wealthy Blackhawk, instead of Compton, and sends his son to (Christian Brothers) De La Salle High School in Concord.  Larry is being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  I doubt Larry remembers meeting me...

2) I gave the 2002 Paralympics "Chef De Mission Meeting Hall" sign to orthopedic surgeon Kevin Stone, MD, www.stoneclinic.com who I worked for before I went to the 2002 Olympics/Paralympics.  Sen Spa says my presentation is "over the top"?  I gift wrapped the Paralympic sign and put a big blue bow on it.

Dr. Stone is known for his work with Senator Dianne Feinstein, the US Ski Team, etc.  I had considered giving the sign to Hugh Herr, Ph.D., but instead delivered it in person to the Stone Clinic.

3) I was sent a rejection letter in response to an effort to go back to JFK University Law.  No interview, no explanation.  Note that to this day I have never met with my original advisor when I was first admitted to JFK Law in 2010, Professor Lawley.  She sent me an email promising me a meeting & advisement in February 2011.  Now what?

4) I had a guy call me that wants to buy this website and use it to sell massage tables.  Maybe tomorrow I'll call Earthlite, Oakworks, etc. and see what they think about that.

5) I called San Francisco Supervisor Tang, who has proposed new regulations for "massage".

6) As part of any "soul-searching" following the rejection letter below from Sen Spa I re-read the Honor Code for Professor Henry Okazaki's Hawaiian Judo and Jujitsu school, where to get a black belt you have to study massage.  True enough, it begins with a code to be humble, but it goes on to promote bravery AND responsibility... WTF?

Since the primary theme at this time here continues to be the shunning of me by the American Physical Therapy Association, and it's refusal to educate me, or even talk to me, note that Henry Okazaki was the first person to teach Judo and Jujitsu to any American, regardless of age, sex, race, creed, or disability. 

He was ostracized and outcast by the strict Japanese traditionalists for teaching the sacred art to non-Japanese...

7) I called the American Physical Therapy Association the other day, and in a major breakthrough, I actually managed to get APTA VP Justin Moore's secretary to talk to me for over 10 minutes.  Justin continues to shun me, and refuses to do anything at all to help me get my PT education, typical of the APTA as a whole.  WTF?

From SenSpa: 2012 spAWARD winner - Top 100 Spas in America  (Here to criticize you for expressng "over the top" "bravado"...???) 

Brian, Hello. I have received your information and I can see that you have put more attention to your cover letter and resume. It is an improvement.

I am sorry but I am still not going to be going forward with your application. I don't know if you have any interest knowing why but since you have put more time and energy in to this and this is your 3rd application to us, I will tell you why in the hopes that it will help you.

Brian, one of the things that is most important to us is that the position be a "fit" with the person. In your past you have had many spa jobs that last only 7 months to 2 years. This leads me to believe that there is something not working out.

You either are not picking jobs that you are a fit for or something is not working well once hired.  You current position as assistant manager would be a more senior position than a lead therapist and so it looks like you might be wanting to leave after only working at Metamorphosis for only 4 months.

Either another bad choice by you or something not working out. Either way, training is time-consuming, expensive and stressful for the team if the correct fit is not made. I'm just not willing to take that chance.

Additionally, your presentations are just over the top for me.  I like a resume that stands on its own merit. Since you have so many short jobs, it's clear you feel it's necessary to bolster it with bravado.  We have a humble team of great therapists that work together well and that's what I am looking for. I'm not interested in hiring a "star".

I'm sure you will find this frustrating but I am truly hoping this honest feedback will be helpful to you. I wish you the best in finding what you are searching for.

July 16, 2013: "Deep Thoughts, with Paul Hara": As I believe I have mentioned before, Paul is a professional National Geographic lauded photographer, and I speculate that he might understand the personality-type of Erica O'Connor better than some, and undersrtands what really happened in our relationship somehwat as well.

 The other day Paul called me, "Yojimbo".  I watched a lot of  Akira Kurosawa movies when I was at Sonoma State University (most memorably, Les Blank's "Gap-toothed Women") which helped me think past the simple idea that "yojimbo" means "bodyguard" in Japanese, to see what I think was Paul's real point:

The story itself is about " a ronin, portrayed by Toshiro Mifune, who arrives in a small town where competing crime lords vie for supremacy..." - In 1964, Yojimbo was remade as A Fistful of Dollars, a spaghetti western directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood in his first appearance as the Man with No Name.

 The ronin provokes the two factions into attacking each other (while he stands back and watches).

Lest we forget, it was Barbary Henry, the gorgeous redhead on the left, who gave me the ticket for the only Opera I have ever attended.  She was the President of the San Francisco Opera Guild at the time.  VIP access and free Champagne!

July 10, 2013: I was listening to YogaWorks yoga teacher Sarah Pascual talk about how much she likes things to have a "family hospitality" feel... this is a picture of my older brother in his prime, late 80's/early 90's.  If I got my ears pierced to look like my older brother, is that "conformity" more than "rebellion"?

Published on Jun 28, 2013 -UC Berkeley youtube "At Cal Athletics, we not only accept our LGBT student-athletes, we embrace them for who they are. We honor diversity at Cal...

Fostering an inclusive environment is not just the right thing to do, it allows our student-athletes to perform to the best of their abilities in all aspects of their lives. It's important to me, as the leader of Cal Athletics, that each and every one of our student-athletes, coaches and staff members know

that they can participate in the sport they love regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression." - Sandy Barbour, Athletic Director  (note that the video also talks about diversity of religion, culture, etc.) 

The Cal You Can Play video features Cal administrators, coaches and student-athletes expressing their support for an open environment for LGBT student-athletes. The message is that if an athlete is good enough to play a sport, that's all that should matter -- the watchwords of You Can Play's mission.

We, Cal Athletics, felt that the video should be made because we are already an inclusive, diverse and welcoming institution and department. The number of coaches and student-athletes who participated in the project is a reflection of the nature of Cal Athletics and its commitment to inclusion and equality for all.

We believe that our You Can Play project sets a tone for our department and our athletic teams on and off the field. The video will also set a precedent for future student athletes and the experiences they will have here at Cal. We had over 52 participants that were filmed for the project. Go Bears!

[Editor's note: I took Exercise Physiology at UC Berkeley Extension as one of my prerequisites to get accepted to the Doctorate in Physical Therapy program at the University of St. Augustine in 2003, only to be exiled because of my pierced ears. 

I think this video creates a precedent and a valid cause for immediate dialogue between the American Physical Therapy Association and the University of St. Augustine and I, perhaps others, SSU, etc.

If I had known about this yesterday I would have brought it up to Steve Winter when we talked...] 

July 8, 2013: I met face to face with Dr. Steven V. Winter, Chair of the Department of Kinesiology at Sonoma State University in Northern California today for over 90 minutes in his office, and to quote Depeche Mode, "I haven't felt so alive in years."

Steve has the new poster up in his office for the National Athletic Trainers' Association, and when I told him I think it looks like a gay pride flag, he laughed and said something like, "My wife doesn't like it, but I love Las Vegas!"  I gave Dr. Winter one of my Massage Trailer 1 signs from the 2002 Winter Paralympics.

I showed him a copy of my checks from William Randolph Hearst III, my Olympic ID, I talked to him about my affair with Erica O' Connor at Massage Envy, and as well about being #1 at Evo Spa, and being the highest paid nonsexual Massage Therapist in the USA not that long ago... 

and of course we talked about my efforts to be educated by Stanley Paris & the American Physical Therapy Association, while having guns pulled on me by the "Educators" of the American Massage Therapy Association;

we talked about how I was solicited for prostitution by the Mayor of Cotati while I was at SSU in the 90's, how I was solicited for bribes by the Police in San Rafael, the brothel across the street from my apartment in Pleasant Hill, the brothel I lived above in San Francisco's Financial District;

we talked about how I was ordered to promote prostitution full-time, essentially to work for Carl Leigh and Margo St. James, by the active sitting Government Relations Chair of the California MassageTherapy Council...

I asked him if he thought the National Athletic Trainers' Association would help me, and while he couldn't promise me anything, he did say something to the effect that, "Our members truly care for one another as family, and will do anything to offer kind assistance in acheiving your goals, promptly, politely."

He didn't seem surprised at all really to hear anything that I had to say...though he did say being solicited for prostitution by the Mayor of Cotati was "interesting"; I think Steve has travelled quite a bit...

He said he remembered me, and he remembered the fact that I did in fact set the high-end of the academic curve in his courses.  He agreed to write me a general letter of recommendation as soon as possible, and consider what else he might do or who he might call to talk about my future, to answer my main question: "who do I call?".

Steve remembers being in the rooom during the 2005 testimony before the CA Professional Boards Committee hearing with Christine Mihelich and Liz Figueroa, where Christine was quoting me... He agreed I should be disappointed by the complete failure of the APTA to help me, despite Justin Moore & Stanley Paris's promises, etc.

We talked about how I came to meet the conductor for the San Francisco Symphony... Steve doesn't know who Ola Grimsby is, but I emphasized that I am supported by Ola and several other scholars... Steve doesn't teach Stanley Hoppenfeld's text anymore, so he showed me the replacement, I didn't write down the title... I'll get it next time we talk.

I never brought up the word "osteopathic", but Steve did.  At the end Steve seemed to wonder if maybe I would be better off in Law School; right now I just need money, sponsors, or fruitful work... Steve knows how close I am to being truly dead broke, which sucks considering my resume.  I have to go to SF now..

How am I supposed to take the ridiculous path of my apparent disagreements with the APTA, Hearst, ESPN, AMTA, etc. seriously when I was the star student for the acting Professional Education Committee Chair for the California Athletic Trainers' Association? 

I'm really sorry if I might sound conceited or pompous to someone like Ruth Werner or say James Waslawski, for example, or "crazy" to David Palmer, or William Randolph Hearst, III, but when you think about it, the only reason I was Tom Hendrickson's orthopedic massage "star student"

is because I was Steve Winter's Athletic Injury Pathology and Rehabilitation "star student" before that.  I deserve to be educated to the Doctorate level and allowed to contribute to sports medicine scholarship.  I should not be bickering with Carol Leigh, etc. about my job title, ethics, or scope of practice.

Should William Randolph Hearst III or one of his subordinates at ESPN give me a call?  Should Stanley Paris or someone from the American Physical Therapy Association or American Massage Therapy Association or National Athletic Trainers' Association give me a call?  Let's talk about Professional Education. 

June 23, 2013: I want to thank my "Jewish intellectual" friend Patrick for suggesting I look up the meaning of Moshe Feldenkrais's (Russian: Моше Пинхас Фельденкрайз, Hebrew: משה פנחס פלדנקרייז) first name, which I find is Hebrew for the Greek name Moses.  Patrick dropped out of PT school to work in tech, but his wife is a PT. 

My advisor for my BA in Psych, Eleanor Criswell, widow of Thomas Hanna, is who introduced me to Feldenkrais. Click on the picture to see a Youtube video of Moshe explaining his struggle having his work and ideas understood and recognized, discuss the limits of the usefulness of words, etc.

Doctor of Science in Engineering at the Sorbonne, co-founding member of the Jiu Jitsu Club de France, he gave lessons in the Feldenkrais method to David Ben-Gurion, the Prime Minister of Israel, enabling him to stand on his head in a yoga pose... science officer in the Admiralty working on Anti-submarine weaponry in Fairlie, Scotland...studied the work of G.I. Gurdjieff...

June 22, 2013: Speaking of hypocrisy, the American Physical Therapy Association, which refuses to educate me, proudly discriminating against me and shunning me for over 10 years since May 2003, which approves of expelling suspected Hindus or homosexuals "on sight",

 has chosen my 43rd Birthday, October 5, as "Diversity Day" 2013:

June 18, 2013: It gets wierder: Last night at Diablo Rock Gym I had a woman who is from Salt Lake City and who was a regular performer at the Medals Ceremonies at the 2002 Winter Olympics as part of the opening act before AntiGravity when she was 17 give me her phone number.  She wants to climb together...

How is it that my friend Adam, whose forearms are bigger than my calves, got into allopathic Medical School and will be studying for his MD with a pierced lip, nose, eyebrow, and ears, but I can't get the American Physical Therapy Association to even talk to me?  Adam wants to specialize in modernizing Diabetes treatments...

June 17, 2013: Fantastic news!  Katie Gustafson has Linked to me on LinkedIn.  Katie was a coworker of mine when Erica O'Connor and I worked together at Massage Envy in 2008.  Katie personally knows Erica O'Connor and I had a romantic affair,

and that I was falsely accused by Erica of being some kind of "stalker"out of sheer spite and vindictiveness after I made Erica tell Nathan Dorris about our relationship, because as I said to Erica, "He deserves to know".  Katie knows fellow MEer's Michael Woo and Risa Moreno, who also know the truth...

Katie, the ever buoyant Buddhist, knows about the damaging effect of the horrible lies and absolute hell that Erica O'Connor put me through, how it broke my heart and my wallet, 

how she got me fired from both Masssage Envy and Evo Spa and continues to viciously do everything she can to destroy my life, maliciously defame me, and harm my reputation among my friends, colleagues, and clients...

Thank you Katie for your support, your care, and your belief that being Linked to me is a good idea.  So if Katie will Link to me, does that mean that someone from Evo Spa will agree talk to me?  Will someone from Massage Envy agree to talk to me?  Will other opportunities and invitations arise?  APTA?

June 17, 2013: I just got off the phone with the Department of Professional Licensing in Utah because I am in the process of renewing my UT Massage License, and the DOPL representative I talked to told me that I need to have the Work Experience portion of the application filled out. 

She told me that anyone claiming to have worked as a Massage Therapist for over 20 hours a week will be flagged for review because giving more than 20 hours of massage in a week is "impossible" because "you are human".  (She should meet Hans Florine!)

While I have to go to Evo Spa in person (wish me luck with that!) to give them the paperwork UT wants filled out because that's the last place I worked for over 2 years, I found the "over 20 hours is impossible" conversation so amusing I am reposting two of my paycheck stubs 

showing I was doing 40 hours a week, (double the "impossible") on a regular basis when I was at Massage Envy in 2008, in addition to my part-time job in Napa.  How is it possible?  I think a background in Renbukai, Taiji, and Athletic Training may have something to do with that...

At Massage Envy I iced my hands every day; at Evo Spa I filed my nails every day.  Raul clipped his; I think filing creates a smoother edge and a higher quality massage experience.  If a fingernail edge touches a client's skin, better to slide than scrape, or even cut... Similarly, Taiji (and maybe some Ninjutsu) trained me to be silent...

Remember watching those old David Carradine Kung Fu intro's on TV where the Kung Fu master would walk across rice paper without wrinkling or tearing it?  Again I thank the very influential martial arts teachers of my youth, Ron Marchini and Leo Fong.  (Leo Fong taught Bruce Lee to Western Box and still teaches Kung Fu...).

The Utah DOPL agent asked why I am having a hard time in California right now finding a good massage job if I'm so "popular".  I told her that Roger Olbrot (my boss at the 2002 Olympics) knows (Erica O'Connor's lies, my endless disputes with the AMTA, NCBTMB, APTA, etc.), and she got off the phone really fast. 

She did not want to talk at all after I mentioned Roger... Why?

Published on Jun 12, 2013 youtube Message from the Chief of Army (Australia), Lieutenant General David Morrison, AO, explains perfectly the mindset behind both A) why I resigned from the American Massage Therapy Association, and B) what is just as wrong if not worse with the American Physical Therapy Association, in 3:07

"...an inclusive organisation...every...man and woman...is able to reach their full potential, and is encouraged to do so...if you become aware of an individual (such as: STANLEY PARIS, WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST III, AMTA, APTA, NCBTMB, JACKIE SPEIER, etc.)

I am thrilled the FBI’s law enforcement advisory board agrees that the Hate Crimes Incident Report Forms must be updated to include at—risk communities...I’m calling on FBI Director Mueller to fully and urgently implement the Board’s recommendation.

[Editor's note: The American Physical Therapy Association continues to support a policy of "expulsion on sight" for any student with a pierced nose, which is a symbol of Hindu faith, as well as the "expulsion on sight" of males with pierced ears.

Is the American Physical Therapy Association a Hate Group?  Come on FBI Director Bob Mueller, I know you and you know me, I've been your Massage Therapist, I know your wife, and I've been to your house.  I wrote your wife a get-well card after she was diagnosed with cancer. 

Let's talk about why I can't join the military, like you did, Bob.   Let's talk about how I am being treated on a daily basis by the APTA and the University of St. Augustine, Bob.  It's a Hate Crime, and you know it!]

June 9, 2013: What is Professionalism?   Karin Swinney was a Founder of the Association of Professional Piercers, and has taught Piercing in Amsterdam.  ( http://www.safepiercing.org/ )

Please note that while to many some postings here may seem too personal, too quirky, or too irrelevant, or "rambling"/"ranting" that here at the moment I am attempting to address some of the things I might talk about were I to meet the Physiotherapist for the Rugby Team of Scotland, just as I met many Physios at the Olympics in 2002.

This blog is about massage news, spa news, etc. but it is also about my efforts at dialogue with Dr. Stanley Paris and the American Physical Therapy Association, who have blacklisted and shunned me for over 10 years since 2003 because they don't like my ears.

This matters for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that Physical Therapists are recognized and regulated as healthcare practitioners across the USA and worldwide.

In the USA, a Physical Therapist can join the military as an officer.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) HAS NOT BEEN REPEALED as long as the American Physical Therapy Association and Dr. Stanley Paris continue to blacklist and shun me.

Because I am 42, I cannot join any branch of the military as an ordinary recruit.  However, if I had my Physical Therapy License I could join any branch of the military as a health care Officer.

Like Karin Swinney, I could not join the military at all before DADT was repealed due to our mutual occasionally bisexual interests, though Karin clearly took things a lot further there than I ever have thought about doing.  My gay friends don't think I'm gay for a reason; I'm not gay... but I'm not the straightest person in the room either...

While the American Physical Therapy Association has maintained it's ludicrous definition of professionalism (ears pierced="unprofessional conduct"?) shunning of me since 2003 due to my attempt to be respected as part of modern scholarship and modern society

despite the fact that my ears are pierced, and Stanley Paris's are not

(when I was interviewed Friday to work as a Personal Trainer at 24 Hour Fitness the Fitness Manager pointed at my Asics Shoes and his Asics Shoes and said "we look alike!").

I recently shaved and cut my hair short and people at Diable Rock Gym that wouldn't be very nice to me at all when my hair was long and my beard was looking 1800's have recently started friendly conversations with me and flirted with me, while others have had the reverse reaction saying I've lost my uniquenss...

March 26.2013: I'm supposed to be writing something for James Waslaski, but maybe because he used to be a paramedic, or because I have a Personal Training job interview tomorrow, or I'm tired,

or because I called a bunch of Massage Therapists I met at the Olympics in 2002 yesterday after the AMTA pulled guns on me,

now all I can think about is what happened to Dr. Kevin Stone's friend and patient Glen Plake's Nepal trip a few moths ago...

Maybe metaphorically I'm comparing the failure of support I've received from the AMTA to how Glen Plake (again, who has ties to Kevin Stone, MD and the Winter Olympics and the SF East Bay)

depended on the mountain to be there for him, until it killed 9 of his friends...

MARCH 24, 2013: Today at approximately 3PM I arrived at the Conference at the Sheraton Grand in Sacramento, CA for the Education Conference for the American Massage Therapy Association,

featuring Orthopedic & Sports Massage specialist James Waslaski, who offhand is a friend of Massage Therapy Hall of Fame inductee Sister Rosalind Gefre, whose home phone number I have and I will be calling her tomorrow to tell her this:

I was thrown out of the Sheraton Grand at the request of the AMTA by three ARMED (with GUNS) SECURITY GUARDS!!!

while I was sitting quietly minding my own business in the lobby wearing my 2002 Winter Olympics t-shirt!

I was hoping to talk to Beverly May, Mark Dixon, & Stacey Degooyer.  How are the kids, Stacey? 

Thanks for the gun in the back, AMTA! that feels great, very relaxing!!!

WHY THE AMTA/NCB owes me a conversation, an apology, and over $750K:

The same Boy Scout council that last year expelled a gay teen who was trying to earn Eagle status has now adopted new guidelines that will be the cornerstone of a push to get the Boy Scouts of America to adopt a nationwide nondiscrimination policy in May.

The sheer geography of this story, as well as how it might somehow be related to my being blacklisted and shunned by the American Physical Therapy Association, prevented from getting my "Eagle" (Doctorate/License) because of my earrings, or maybe someday truly supported, blows my mind:

I'd be pretty stoked if I helped inspire that SF Chronicle article about walking marathons.  Please note: The Steep Ravine Marathon involves about 2 miles of vertical climbing, and I had to go my Grandmother's funeral in Atlanta right before I did that, where I did no yoga. or anything, for 2 weeks,

Lululemon Wears Crisis Well; this is a company with tremendous goodwill   :  "committed to making things right"

My favorite current yoga teacher Wes Linch is a Lululemon ambassador... I think it's funny that to prepare for his "big" photoshoot instead of yoga he did a lot of TRX...

I wish I could get a sponsor... It's great the recent gifts from Dr. Zouves of course, but with $20k in debt and possibly losing both my car (kind of ironic, that, since I gave my motorcycle to the Positive Resource Center via Donna Sachet in San Francisco)

 and my apartment, and getting zero communication from Law School, Chiropractic School, APTA, AMTA, etc. Waiting waiting waiting

My young friend Conor Everton is now sponsored by the company Five Ten, so good for him!  I sent an email to the young mountaineer at http://www.rainbowsummits.com/.

I also read that the current President of the Canadian Medical Association is a lesbian, which has to add another layer of nuance and complexity to these discussions.

Since I have been calling fellow AMTA/2002 Olympics colleague Michele Kilcer a lot to try and get help from her, this posting is for her:

This Weekend March 22-23 is the California AMTA Conference in Sacramento featuring Orthopedic Massage specialist James Waslawski!

(Which is interesting for many reasons, one of which is that James is friends with Sister Rosalind Gefre, who to this day is the one and only Massage Therapist I have ever gotten to talk about any of these issues)

(Which also begs the question, why is James Waslawski being invited to teach at this conference, while I, with similar if not superior educational skills, have been shunned by the AMTA for 10 years?)

So the AMTA and NCBTMB have been attacking and shunning me for over 10 years now for seeing "Human Trafficking" as a topic worthy of discussion, then in December 2012 they finally published this:

Elevating Our Profession by Eliminating Human Trafficking Published Monday, December 10, 2012 by Bernadette Murray AMTA-CA GR Chair 

Noone from the AMTA or NCBTMB has ever called me to talk, about anything, especially prostitution or human trafficking, going back to when I was an AMTA officer in SF. 

In fact, active sitting CAMTC Vice-Chair Mark Dixon and the NCBTMB filed formal ethics sanctions against me in, what, 2004/5? to punish me for bringing it up and asking for help.

Active sitting Government Relations Chair of the CAMTC, Beverly May (equals Carol Leigh, founder of Whore College), ordered me in 2003 that my job as an AMTA officer was solely to promote prostitution,

and if I disobeyed I should leave the State of CA, and the Massage profession, while Beverly was acting as AMTA-CA GR, to punish me for questioning the topic of "human trafficking" or trying to promote educated therapeutic massage.

Since the AMTA and NCBTMB are still atttacking me, still shunning me, should I picket?  What should my sign say?  "Celebrate Sexual Harassment!"  or "I wiah I was a Sex Worker, Then I would get Dignity and Respect from Sheriff Greg Munks!"

Of course the simplest sign would say, "Welcome to Whore Con!"

San Francisco Symphony Cancels Carnegie Hall Dates as Strike Continues Sunday, March 17, 2013 - 09:00 PM By Brian Wise

all with Michael Tilson Thomas at the helm.

3/17/2013: Today's "big" news: I am personally hoping that the recent gift of both a laptop computer and a Nike Fuel device from IVF specialist Christo Zouves, MD are a positive sign of great things to come very soon.

I know it's a long shot, but what if, on a whim, he gave me a Porsche or two from his collection as well?  That would get me out of debt and back into graduate school where I belong...

Should I post a picture of the words of encouragement and autograph I got from Ken Cooper MD  (he coined the word "aerobics") in 2001 and show that to Dr. Zouves to thank him for the Nike Fuel device?

I am applying for a job at Nordstrom's Spa in Seattle today as well.

I am hoping to have also opened a line of communication with AMTA'er Michele Kilcer that I met at the Olympics in 2002 through LinkedIn.  I think Micheala is in Ireland today for St. Patrick's Day... Maybe we'll talk when she gets back...

I've been thinking a lot about the Brazilian Cardiologist I met on the Sausalito-San Francisco Ferry last week who was in SF for the American College of Cardiologists convention at Moscone Center. 

If I so often am able to have perfectly polite, enjoyable, intelligent, and lengthy spontaneous conversations with MD's, MBA's, etc. why can't I get a phone call from the AMTA or APTA, etc.?  How about a new job?  Will Nordstrom in Seattle hire me?

Of course thinking about Seattle, and IVF Specialist Christo Zouves reminds me of Bastyr University and my long-standing curiosity about their obstectrics-related and other programs... money money money

It's nothing really, but I'd like to think the Nike Fuel device is well-deserved.  I may have finished in last place, but I did the Steep Ravine Marathon through the Muir Woods last summer in less than 8 hours. 

I currently hold the "Calories in a Day" record at Diablo Rock Gym, which is nothing really though compared to, say, Hans Florine's wife Jackie doing the Badwater Ultra... Hans has been a good influence on me in many ways...

Marin Independent Journal: my former co-worker at the Mill Valley Health Club/Body Kinetics, Ellen who has the abs of Bruce Lee (after 45 and giving birth!)

(Ellen also belongs to the Marin Jewish Community Center, and is the author of over 2 million sold! exercise, diet, etc. self-help book the Everything Total Fitness Book which includes discussing Massage Therapy,

which is why I've talked to Ellen about writing a book together.)

The Karpay-Brodys successfully challenged the Sacramento County courts over the custody of their daughter, Sadie, 4, because Lisha was the genetic mother and Ellen was the gestational mother.

Because they were not married, Ellen would have had to adopt the child, who was not hers genetically.

They won the case and set a precedent for other gay couples with similar circumstances.

If they had been married, both would have been the legal parents of the child, Ellen Karpay-Brody said.

While continuing to try to understand how cruel the American Physical Therapy Association and Stanley Paris have been to me since 2003, I started reading about how

not that long ago... Will they ever tolerate someone like me? (my skin is "white", but has tiny holes in the earlobes)

WTF? How would you like to be Fired for the same reason you were Hired?

Iowa Court: Bosses Can Fire 'Irresistible' Workers

The court ruled Friday that a boss (Gail of Evo Spa?) can fire an employee (me?) (s)he considers an "irresistible attraction," even if the employee has done nothing wrong.

[It's important that I point out Evo owner Gail never asked me out, but the lead Esthetician Asia Thorpe definitely did, then later denied it a la Erica O'Connor, as did Jenny the Spa Director who fired me... this is so fucked up!  Being fired for being good at your job truly sucks & begs negotiation]

[Then again, if I'm going to mention the wonders of systematic propaganda, denial, and lies, I skipped creating links for these stories because they were so ridiculous, but press releases completely denying the existence of male prostitution have recently come out by 

Voice of America

and Chris Kelly, author of CA's "anti-prostitution/sex-trafficking" law (Prop 35) & failed candidate to be CA Attorney General in 2010.]

David Geffen, Gay Music Producer, Donates $100 Million to UCLA’s Medical School

(Simultaneously, the Foundation for Physical Therapy and Stanley Paris continue to reject my offer to donate $100,000 to Physical Therapy Research through my Doctorate tuition because

despite being offered unconditional acceptance based on my academic record and the actual formal application process, they don't like the way I look,

(Do I look like a fan of David Geffen's band Siouxsie and the Banshees, who I first saw live in 1986 at UC Davis?) which is deemed 'unprofessional conduct' worthy of expulsion on sight)

Diocese responds to Notre Dame gay support plan, Bishop Kevin Rhoades writes 

...accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity.

...“the organization’s purpose arises directly from the University’s Catholic mission and its aspiration to create a community where all may flourish and feel welcome,

 ...where the human dignity of each Notre Dame student is valued.”

...I hope that the organization will be helpful in providing support for the students, thus preventing the experience of isolation and alienation...

[Which begs the question, if/when will the University of St. Augustine and/or the Diocese of St. Augustine, or the APTA call me so we can talk about the last 10 years of shunning?]

12/1/2012: As part of recently rejected efforts to communicate with Dr. Stanley Paris, the University of St. Augustine, and the American Physical Therapy Association (which clearly ignores it's own Code of Ethics),

I recently also made several efforts at communication with Ola Grimsby, and Ola Grimsby Jr, who was babysat by Dr. Paris as a child.

This ended up leading to yet another cross-cultural discovery making me really wonder what's happening next with all this.

So Ola Grimsby comes out of a Norwegian background and his bio talks repeatedly about how the "Norwegian Board of Examiners came from Norway" to bring Orthopedic Manipulative/Manual Physical Therapy to the USA.

According to my research and Wikipedia, Fourth in Line to rule Norway is Princess Martha Louise, whose husband, Ari Behn, has been known to wear the exact same earring that I do now, with one in the left earlobe.

What do Stanley Paris, Ola Grimsby, and the APTA have to say about the Princess of Norway's husband's earring and expelling me for looking the same way?

777  

You can get invited to a royal wedding in Sweden, but you can't go to college to study Physical Therapy in America with Stanley Paris... Really, Ola Grimsby?     

Far more interesting perhaps is this: Princess Märtha Louise is a certified physiotherapist, following education in Oslo and internship in the Netherlands.

Norwegian state director of Health Lars E. Hanssen has criticized her idea to start a school of her own, now called Astarte Inspiration the former slogan of which was

"Use angels and your own power to create miracles in your life",

and some, such as the newspaper Bergens Tidende, have called for the Princess to give up her royal titles. Swedish author and columnist Jan Guillou urged Märtha Louise to "seek treatment".  

777

Norwegian televangelist Jan Hanvold accused the Princess of "blasphemy" and said she was "an emissary from hell."

Princess Märtha Louise's current official duties include serving as ambassador for the disabled in Norway.

(This means that Stanley Paris and the American Physical Therapy Association supports shunning and discrimination against the husband of the ambassador for the Paralympians of Norway, Ola Grimsby!)

777

Furthermore, on Youtube there is a fantastic video featuring Ari Behn visiting a Male Geisha/Host Club in Tokyo, where an increasingly popular form of

The best-selling dress shirt brand in the world, fashion authority Van Heusen (est 1881) hires Jerry Rice, wearing his earrings, as Institute of Style spokesperson

[meanwhile, the American Physical Therapy Association, Dr. Stanley Paris, and the University of St. Augustine continues to insist that Jerry Rice's style is: "unprofessional conduct", worthy of expulsion on sight,

and in fact Jerry Rice's style is more offensive and repulsive than a naked, malodorous, infected, septic wound needing/during debridement

(Do a Google Image search for "debridement" and you might vomit or have nightmares, just a warning).

.  This topic is undebatable, untouchable, and absolutely no-one will talk.]

American Physical Therapy Association Code of Ethics 

The reality of course is: "Physical Therapists may discriminate against others in education and administration"; "may act in a disrespectful manner"; "may harass emotionally";

"may be uncaring and uncompassionate"; "may exploit students"; "may be unprofessional and incompetent"; "may refuse to communicate or collaborate"...

If the APTA cares so much about this "Code of Ethics" why don't they support or call me?  Why don't I hear from Stanley Paris, or the University of St. Augustine?  I've been waiting since 2003 for your call...

Notice below that Dr.Stanley Paris's supposedly serious letter written to the APTA Accreditation authority begins, "Dear Mary Jane"; clearly informal, and quite likely showing Stanley Paris's superiority

over both Mary Jane Harris and the American Physical Therapy Association itself.  Dr. Paris doesn't care to take this seriously, because he doesn't have to.

777 

11/15/12: Almost ten years after being enrolled for my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in Spring of 2003,

meeting Stanley Paris and Gerard Gorniak, and after school started and they had my Federally backed loaned tuition money,

being informed that any male with pierced ears would be expelled on sight,

just today I finally found this info about Dr. Gorniak that maybe helps me perhaps understand why he seems to hate me so much,

and is completely opposed to even talking to me,

much less truly accepting me as a student or granting me the educational opportunity I deserve:

Gerard C Gorniak is Chairman and Director of the St. Augustine House of Prayer and Evangelization Center, Inc.

(links: Vatican, the Pope, etc., also home of The Joyful Family Charismatic Prayer Community)

So I wasn't imagining things at all when I realized I had not enrolled at a "Health Sciences" University, where I could focus on studying Physical Therapy,

but instead had been conned into joining an Evangelization Center...

True I have friends, colleagues, and clients of many faiths, including ordained Roman Catholic Brothers and priests (including a gay priest), but I think

if the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences wants to operate as a quasi-religious institution, and have rules such as a policy of expelling males with earrings on sight,

and as well expelling anyone with a face piercing (like my yoga teacher Wes) on sight, deeming such conduct worthy of being condemned as "unprofessional conduct"

then the University should admit that upfront.  I should not have had to move to fucking Florida, put down a deposit on a condo, buy over $2K in textbooks,

get my FL Massage License, fly back and forth from CA to FL 8 times or whatever it was, staying in Hotels and renting cars,

take FL required massage classes in Tallahassee, etc., before finding myself sitting in class in St. Augustine, FL reading the student conduct rules during my first week of class,

to finally read University of St. Augustine rules which basically say this: "We (Dr. Paris and Dr. Gorniak) hate you.  We hate your family.  We hate your friends.  We hate your heroes.

We hate the people you wanted to heal by studying Physical Therapy in the first place.  We hate Jerry Rice.  We hate David Beckham...

and guess what?  The American Physical Therapy Association endorses our hate.   So CONVERT OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES..."

777

So much for "Hospitality"... Maybe I can get one of my Ordained Catholic friends to convince Dr. Paris & Gorniak to negotiate in good faith and drop this cruel charade...

I know Tom met Pope John Paul II... sometimes it's good to have friends with friends... We'll see...

11-6-12: Honoring the fact that yesterday I managed to get one of the Washington DC-based Vice Presidents of the American Physical Therapy Association

(and a few days later at least one Director from the APTA Board, possibly Mary Jane Harris from Accreditation) to click on, and maybe read, my LinkedIn profile:

“The players’ view has always been that you ought to keep negotiating until you find a way to get an agreement, and you stay at it day by day, so it’s very good to be getting back to the table,”  With any luck, he'll call me.

Barbara Boxer's 11/3/12 endorsement of Proposition 35 on the Huffington Post ignores boys completely / 10/9/12: boys sold for commercial sex (article in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, owned by the NYT when this was published)

What about the "powerful, heartbreaking stories about the buying and selling" of men and boys, Barbara?  "Enough is enough"?  What have you done?  Endorse a bill 4 days before the election, worried it will pass & you will look like the pimp-winker that you are?

The first time I wrote Senator Barbara Boxer about all of this was in 2003... Are boys "children" too?

 ( Also touched upon was his 25-year commitment to Children of the Night, a nonprofit devoted to rescuing victims of child prostitution )

777

Call me anytime, Barbara, we can talk about the time I was solicited for bribes by the Police in San Rafael who thought I was a gay male prostitute "massage therapist"...at City Hall... and solicited for bribes again at the Business Licensing desk...

We could talk about how it is that my friend Jay has worked as a personal trainer at the Marin Jewish Community Center for over a decade with an earring, while the American Physical Therapy Association defines Jay (and me) as expulsion-worthy, shunning-deserving trash? 

We could talk about how in 2003 Beverly May, the active sitting Government Relations Chair of the California Massage Therapy Council, ordered me to help her promote sex trafficking in massage parlors 

(with the full & continuing support of both the AMTA & NCBTMB)

*which is why I contacted Barbara Boxer in 2003, who has done nothing but ignore it/cover it up, as has the Huffington Post... & it's business as usual for California's massage/spa brothels...

Ah the joy of hypocrisy & total corruption!  How's life in Tiburon treating you, Barbara Boxer?  ...what kind of joke is this?

10/27/12: Will Massage Therapist/Acupuncturist Haro Ogawa get a huge bonus because the San Francisco Giants won the 2012 Major League Baseball World Series?

10/23/12: Right now the San Francisco Chronicle has a headline about how World Series bound Giants fans are "Drenched in Joy", and I recently tried (again) to reach out to my old boss at Evo Spa, Gail

to talk about several things, including an incident which I speculated may have contributed to my "confused" relationship with the lead Esthetician, Asia.  If I did what Asia did with the Joy Juice, I would probably have been fired on the spot... I was flattered, sort of, at the time...

Asia is still there, of course, pulling six figures... and Gail still won't talk to me or help me get a new job...  Thinking of sending a fax to the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences...  If Ola Grimsby is going to Link to me, Stanley Paris should talk to me.

Since so much of this website/blog is influenced by considerations of my seemingly endless quest to actually complete a graduate degree, I thought it might be a good idea to post this photo from 1995

when I was the only male student in the first and to this day only graduate MA degree ever offered in the USA in Psychology with an emphasis on Yoga and Mind-Body Health.

This is how I met Georg Feuerstein (Yoga for Dummies, etc.), Stephan Bodian (Meditation for Dummies, former Editor-In-Chief of Yoga Journal, etc.), David Simon (Deepak Chopra's partner), Richard Miller, etc.  Note in this photo alone there are 11 women.  I'm the blonde in the 90's "grunge" red/green flannel. 

Dear Robert Rowe, President, Fellow, American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists, I am flattered and delighted to have had you Link to me & read any or all of my LI profile. 

I appreciate your LI summary stating a career (please re-check your spelling, which says "carrer") focus to serve as a resource and mentor. 

If you read all of my profile, you will note that in 2003 I was accepted to the DPT under Dr. Stanley Paris

 (who you introduced to receive the first AAOMPT Distinguished Lecturer award, a speech which I have read the pdf of, in which you specifically refer to Dr. Paris as a person who

"believes very strongly and dearly professes the benefits of physical therapists working together nationally and globally" only to read in Dr. Paris's Student Conduct manual, after I had moved to St. Augustine

and was about to buy a condo, that my ear piercings & earrings were "unprofessional" and cause for immediate expulsion on sight were I to wear them to school).  Dr. Paris has returned my letters unopened for years,

and the APTA continues to see our dispute as irrelevant, or at the very least that no-one, certainly not Dr. Paris, should see cause to dialogue with me.  Right now, if you go to the website for the

Foundation For Chiropractic Progress at http://www.f4cp.com/ it opens with a picture of Jerry Rice, wearing the exact same earrings I wear, acting as their leading mass-marketing spokesperson for professionalism. 

I realize that what is considered fashionable is different now than when Dr. Paris was my age (now 42), and that I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, but may I also note that ear piercing is clearly part of aboriginal

New Zealand (Maori) culture, and that the active, sitting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Kenya, Willy Mutunga, has an earring.  I own all the "Massage" signs from the 2002 Winter Paralympics, and this experience

was part of my resume when first submitted to Dr. Paris at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences.  How can Dr. Paris, the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, the APTA, the AAOMPT, etc. tell me

I deserve to be expelled, my concerns are unworthy of consideration, or reconsideration, and tell me I deserve to be shunned and blacklisted for over 9 years?  How can Dr. Paris return my letters unopened?  Since I left FL

in 2003 I have taken all the prerequisite sciences to as well get into any DC program in the USA, but to me my life has been "on hold" ever since May 2003 when I discovered I was to be treated like garbage for

looking too much like Jerry Rice, David Beckham, and my older brother by the student conduct handbook of Dr. Stanley Paris.  I also filed a grievance with Dr. Paris and the CAPTE over the literally unreadable primary

reading material provided for the Anatomy instruction, poor photocopies of handwritten notes, full of typos and just page after page of handwriting and drawings I could neither read nor decipher.  I should have

graduated with my DPT in 2005, and should now have over 7 yrs of experience.  My earrings, and my desire to be properly well educated, were and are the only dispute I have with Dr. Paris. 

777

Also if you read my profile, I really did sell William Randolph Hearst III (20% owner of ESPN) his home massage table, and my "experimental"/"lo-tech" website has been covering these and related topics for

years and years as well.  Because I am "stuck" as a Massage Therapist instead of having the DPT I wish I had (I last applied to Dr. Paris's campus in San Diego in 2008 but my application was returned unopened),

I often write about massage politics, especially that related to prostitution/scope of practice questions.  In 2006 I really did meet face-to-face with NZ politician Tim Barnett who is now basically the head of the

NZ Labour Party (similar to US Democrats).  Mitt Romney knows who I am.  So does Barack Obama.  I used to do massage house calls for Hillary Clinton's best friend, rainmaker Susie Tompkins Buell, and

Bob Mueller, Director of the FBI when he lived in San Francisco.  I own the only Chef De Mission Meeting Hall sign from the 2002 Winter Paralympics.  I used to work for the Orthopedic Surgeon who did

Senator Dianne Feinstein's hip replacement, Kevin Stone, who now has commercials on the Golf Channel.  Stanley Paris won't talk to me?  I've been blacklisted for over 9 years, and at this time my career feels dead. 

I have thought about attending and in fact have contacted the Law School in Jacksonville, FL where you live for the sole purpose of making my dispute with Dr. Paris the inspiration and basis of my legal education. 

As of today, Dr. Paris has destroyed my PT career, broke my heart, and crushed my spirit.  I would like for that to change.  I would like for the words you spoke in introducing Dr. Paris to become true,

"working together", "collaborative", etc.  Should we succeed in our conversation, I would like to go back to USA and get my DPT, starting classes as soon as January 2013.  To be honest I hate Law School,

and I like the idea of being part of an evidence-based system with the career options PT offers, as compared to getting a DC.  I write emails like this all the time; I even wrote one to Hugh Herr, the

robotic prosthetic engineer that got Roger Pistorius into the Olympics.  I wrote 2 to NZ Osteopaths last week.  I wrote the Oncology and Osteoporosis Chairs for the APTA last week. 

I would love for this email to you today to be the last one, and to get my PT career actually back on track.  I have even written emails like this to OPTP, and IronMind, both of whom seem to have been

very supportive and put me on their mailing lists.  (OPTP manufactures the Kaltenborn-Evjenth Concept wedge).  IronMind has even asked me to consider writing articles for them about hand health and injury rehab. 

I deserve for my perhaps unique situation to be offered a truly appropriate consideration I hope by you and Dr. Paris today.  Arbitration?  Mediation?  Negotiation?  Communication? 

Or will the blacklisting and shunning continue?  Please, let's talk about "collaborative experts" and "strengthening leadership across physical therapy".

Felix Baumgartner got a massage in his hotel room on Oct 7, 2012 in preparation for attempting a 37+ Kilometer skydive accomplished Oct 14, where he broke the speed of sound. 

Did you think he would die trying?

I worked at the Stone Clinic in 2001 as a Massage Therapist and consulted Dr. Stone for a bizarre pain in my groin that I thought was some kind of fascial distortion resulting from a fall in the mid-90's. 

Dr. Stone had his nurse consult with me as well, and referred me to an MD who cost me I think $1000 more who wanted to put me on Prednisone; I declined to go on steroids. 

I met Dr. Stone's daughter while I was working at Evo Spa in Mill Valley as  their lead MT a couple years ago, so maybe Dr. Stone should wonder too, why did I get fired, and why have I been unemployed w/o a single interview anywhere in 82 weeks? 

Anyways, during that time I've done a lot of yoga and rock-climbing, etc. but a little over a week ago I did a TRX class taught by a former ballet star and I swear I'm not completely healed but I think I retore my hamstring/fascia, and I was sore for days,

but now my entire life has changed.  I can sit at a desk or in my car for hours with no irritation or itching or pain anywhere in my left leg, groin, ankle, etc.  I'm getting a different sensation on my upper calf now, but I'm hopeful that with continuing TRX, etc.

I'll be essentially healed soon.  I also feel almost like I had some kind of chiropractic/osteopathic treatment, like my entire left leg moved, from the femur/pelvis just a millimeter to the left, but enough that I walk differently, more smoothly, freely.  It's amazing!
