N4 REDUNDO AND ABNORMAL

The names have been changed in order to protect the innocent, namely me.

I. REPEATING FIRST GRADE 

For a year and two months I have lived in one of the two trashy houses that reside across a local school in Palestine, Texas. I live with Montezuma and the neighbors are Redundo and Abnormal. The neighbors are not one of my fans. I used to work for them on a sporadic basis. For a time, I overlooked getting shorted here and there. I woke up one morning and had enough. That is when I made signs stating that they owed me forty-five dollars. I found it ironic that they called the police on me. They complain about the police and they seek to avoid them in their daily endeavors. One might say that they run their affairs on the shady side of life.

At Redemption House, Andy once preached a sermon about God giving you the same lesson over and over until you get it right. I took that to heart. It seems to be true. I am getting a double dose of narcissism, manipulators, and sociopaths. I still do not think that I got this right. 

II. LAWN JOCKEY

My first job for them was to get furniture out of a rent house. I found it odd that the neighbor filmed this episode. We stuck the furniture in the garage. A few days later, some rent-a-center place was banging on the door for their furniture. They avoided the rent-a-center people until the company gave up seeking to reclaim their wares. I noticed that similar things of this manner occurred. 

I sort of ingrained myself into that family. I got along with them and they were a family. I am desperate for family and I overlooked a few things.  I was allowed to use the outside refrigerators which was really cool. I had a place for food and doing things for them was like a small sense of belonging.  They were messy though. Their animals were always hungry and their conditions were bad. It was easier if I took care of the animals than to mention anything.

III. CATS AS AN ABSTRACT

Somehow, I had become an animal person. I would doctor them, feed them, and play with them. A few months back, this cat came up to me like she knew me. Then I realized that it was one of Taylor’s kittens. I used unglue the gunk out of her eyes everyday. She had grown up. I loved those animals. One of their cats took up with me because I could not stand the thought of her spending a second night in a tree. She moved in like a stalker girlfriend and has since had two litters of kittens. I am the perfect mark, because I dote on those kittens. I love those cats. I never thought that such things could be because I am not an animal person, particularly not cats. However, things change. 

Those cats are fearless. The reason being is that they know that they are loved. Montezuma’s Dad once asked me why I bother getting them down from a tree. My reply was that I never wanted to miss an opportunity to let those cats know that they are loved. The more love within someone means that there is less room for fear to inhabit. This premise goes back to 1John 4:17-18. This has somewhat become a life verse for moi and fear has become a favored study as well. Cats also mirror today’s American passive-aggressive society. Everything with me has some kind of philosophical undertone. Within the last few years, these cats have been the only creatures to love me back. It is one thing to be lied about, framed, betrayed, driven to poverty, judged, gossiped about, and made a pariah. It is devastating to be loveless. 

IV. HUMAN BEING: THE OTHER FAMILY PET

I have been trying to leave since I arrived here. In June of last year, my best friend was to pick me up. My computer crashed and I am banned from the mall. I asked Montezuma if I could use his computer. Montezuma said no. I not only missed out on the ride out of here. I also missed out on doing a phone repair and constructing a web-site. Montezuma has a knack for interfering with my dollars. Last November, I had a chance to work at the Wal-Mart Warehouse in Tucker. Montezuma balked at the idea because he did not wish to drive me everyday. He has this whole control issue. The unfortunate thing is that he is too ill-equipped to control anything. The woeful and inept tend to have a higher self-esteem that what should be allotted. Besides, I believe that Montezuma is a narcissist and I am his supply. 

I am another ignored family pet to him. Now that he is tired of me, I can be tossed aside. Whatever. A few months back, I called Adult Protective Services on Montezuma. I had feared that he was manipulating his Dad. I believe that his Dad is driving hard into senility. Montezuma and I have had arguments over this matter. Apparently, one of Montezuma’s friends have had the same concerns. I overheard the conversation and that sparked another argument. 

Montezuma’s Dad asked if I called APS. I told him that I did and the reasons why. That was it. However, I am now convinced that both of them are manipulators. Such behavior is often learned and Montezuma has zero imagination. He learns by rote and only his world is real...somewhat. Nevertheless, senile or not. Montezuma’s Dad has sold the house to Redundo. Since I am now universally hated, my time is short. Redundo has threatened to kick my ass in the past. My reply was that I am right here and still standing. Redundo is a narcissist and most narcissists are extreme cowards. One of his daughters refers to him as a bully. This is true. 

V. IRONY AND ARROGANCE

They can not wait to call the cops on me and they do. I would love to move out. I just need a means of doing so and a place to go. I would also like to get the things that my family has taken from me. It is funny, my family can steal from me, lie about me and they get away with it. Apparently, everyone else feels that they have the same right. Last month, I worked for Carlos and he did not pay me everything. This happens a lot. 

So the cops get there and I am relieved. It irks me that people around here use the cops in the manner that they do. My family did it, now these people are doing it. It is their property and that means that they can trump up charges and do whatever. They think that the police are clueless. They are not. The officer looked into my abode and took pictures. Then he told them that he is calling Adult Protective Services. It never seemed to register with them that the whole plot backfired. They are in trouble, not me. I have been trying to leave. The look on the officer’s face seemed like one of disbelief. As if he could not fathom how anyone could live here...or maybe how anyone could subject another to these conditions. 

The officer asked Redundo for his driver’s license. Redundo says that he does not have it on him. That is a lie because Redundo does not have a license.

How can you not have something on you if you first do not possess that item. That is the problem with manipulation is that those fine lines are easily overlooked.  Redundo and Abnormal are illegal aliens. I am not prejudiced against Mexicans I had a Mexican girlfriend for six and half years. It is hard to hate a people when you sleep with their women. Prejudice is not in my nature and my kaleidoscope set of friends attest to that. However, an illegal alien friend wants me to call immigration. Others plead for that as well, such as the brother of the boyfriend of Abnormal Junior. Everyone knows that she uses him because she is ingrained in his head.  Human possession is similar to demon possession, except this time it could be one and the same. Redundo and Abnormal have screwed a lot of people. I know, because I had once took it upon myself to be their yard lackey. I dealt with the people coming to their door and wanting money that was owed to them. 

Abnormal and her daughter: Abnormal Junior buy property and rent out houses. They were shocked when the officer told them that they were going to have to go to court to evict me. They rent out property to people and they do not know these things? How can that be unless they freely operate on the shady side of life. Abnormal Junior has freely admitted that she will get away with what she can. 

They gossip about one another and now they are friends because I am the mutual enemy that makes them feel good about themselves. When I leave, they will turn again on one another. These two families are ingrained to one another. They lie and those lies are about me. Montezuma’s Dad claims that I threatened him and such. If this were so, how come he did not mention it to Adult Protective Services when they came? The reason being is that not only is it not so, but he and Montezuma covered for one another. I had wondered if one was narcissist supply for the other and if these things can be interchangeable and rotating matters.

VI. CUT OF THE SET-UP

Both of these families are devastating to be around. It is as if your soul is being removed through a slow process of dissolving. This seems to be reflective of the area. I had recently heard about a friend of mine. He was an ex-boyfriend of one of their daughters. Allegedly, he is now in a psych-ward. I can understand that. You can not win with these types. However, I do wish someone would look at the documents of this sale. I had asked Montezuma about them and he got mad. For some time, I have asked Montezuma to have his oldest brother look into things. I think that his oldest brother has good sense. I fear that Montezuma’s Dad may be getting used.  It just all smells really bad. For what it is worth, I do not dislike either family. I just find it all irritating. 

This incident occurred last Saturday. One of the cats was cut that day. That has never occurred. The cut is getting infected. I have no money or transport for the cat. I will have to deal with it myself. I just need a clean place to do this and extra hands to help. I think that someone cut the cat. Montezuma walked in the shed the other day and the cat went ballistic. That cat has seen Montezuma every day of its life and that was a new response. If someone did cut the cat, it could have also been Redundo or his son. Another cat has also come up missing. Naturally this cat is a friend of mine. This is now breaking my heart. I am starting have a lot of things against them. I am fearing for those cats. I have shed endless tears over Gizmo being cut. I do not like leaving them alone. I am at wit’s end. I could use a lawyer or a returned phone call. I am about to lose everything and I seem to fall between the cracks of everything. This is ridiculous and that can not do me in. This has been a bad day.
