re my negative experience at St Anne's Catholic Church in Union City CA.

Located at 

re St Anne's Catholic Church
in Union City CA 

I am a white Catholic ✝ American and I love people of all colors and race and ethnicity .  Union City is highly India- America culture and I love India culture and I love Bollywood as well but in some cases they become such a clique that they control certain things & in some cases the churches as well. 

 And  sometimes when it becomes predominately " them" 🇮🇳 they have a bit of negative prejudice towards "us" 🇺🇸 .

 So I went there for the first time recently and really experienced some of that prejudice- they assumed negative things about me as a white person even though I am a very educated & self-disciplined person (BA/BA/M.Div). 

 So I hope that it can get better and change and there may be a little bit of self-reflection about being from India in America.  God bless us all

the "where ya from" Q -as if we all have "boxed" lives & a singular place we are "from" needs to be retired.


the "where ya from" Q  -as if we all have "boxed" lives & a singular place we are "from" needs to be retired. A lot of us have lived in so many places - when a "friendly Bob" asks 'where ya from' it makes some feel a bit squeamish to be summed up by our current "legal residence"

Re Rev Quan Tran



I was not sure how to directly email or contact Father Joseph Knerr.  Could you please forward this to him or print it out and put it in his box?  thank you

re Rev Quan Tran : The  Asian priest -I think he's Vietnamese-  who just wrote a book about imitating Mother Mary,  is actually being a little bit cocky and condescending towards the audience every time he does a homily. It does NOT feel very spiritual.  

It feels like he's talking down to us - even disrespecting us. I personally also went to Seminary - even though I'm not a priest . I have a masters degree and I don't really like being talked down to when I am at church like he's talking to kids . And he's also taking advantage of the obligatory respect many parishioners give the priest- sometimes over-the-top respect. 

I've also written books, and it's nice to be happy about having written a book, but it seems like every single homily he's boasting about it- not just talking about it . He's boasting & bragging which is not a characteristic of being in the spirit but a  characteristic of being in the flesh.  

So let us pray for this priest to tone it DOWN a little bit & respect the audience as he wants to be respected likewise. If he doesn't feel comfortable here, maybe he'd be better off with a Vietnamese congregation such as at Holy Spirit or Westminster. 

Now I notice he's got a J.D. as well. 
He's over-qualified & bored with us & is starting to be abusive & taunting us.  Give him some new challenges .

True story: a fellow in an old beat up medium size RV with the door bashed in so that it wouldn't close properly asked me to stand by his vehicle thinking people might try to break in ( or walk in) while he's in the store. 

I said "Nobody is going to break in to your piece of junk - it looks toxic to me- I don't want to stand by it or get near it". 

There's homeless people with grocery carts who are like this as well- they are seriously afraid somebody might steal their crap from their toxic grocery cart. They are mentally ill. Pray4 them. 🙏

Review of SA RECYCLING IN OXNARD (on Mountain View) 11/20/20

Everything was good except for the lady at the scale because she saw me doing something by the rear license plate- she assumed (wrongly) I was trying to take the rear license plate off which apparently is not allowed- and then instead of JUST asking me what i was doing she told me to go stand over there and "open my book" where I had put my personalized license plate FRAME (which i had forgotten to take off- & had to break off at the last moment b/c nobody would kindly allow me to borrow a screwdriver for 30 seconds)  . she  talked to me like I was some kind of criminal or something . all you need to do is ask lady- or look at the vehicle itself - the plate was still there.  show some respect.  NOT ALL of us are criminals just because we're recycling our vehicle via Bureau of Automotive Repair program. Being poor is NOT a crime- & recycling a vehicle does NOT mean you are poor & dishonest- it might mean you're smart. I just bought a new car & this one was having engine problems & i couldn't fix it or resell it - that's what this program is good for.  Also they need to put up a number for the gate next to the scale. I know it's a wrecking yard but you don't have to live in it like you're a hobo. You can make it look decent.

Is Goodwill Corp Profiteering Off of Free Donations to Them ?

Yes you are getting clothes at a discount- cheaper than you would get at any department store - but it is also donated to them by gracious people for free &  Goodwill  then turns around and makes a profit on it. But they are a nonprofit business so they should NOT be making TOO MUCH PROFIT & that's the question- how much profit 💰 are they actually making❓

  For example today I went in and bought a pair of pants that had a little worn out fringe on the bottom and I asked if I could get a discount. She said "no that's a solid price absolutely not". I thought maybe a dollar or two would be fair to reduce it from $8 to 6 or something like that but NO.  You would think that Goodwill has people there working because they have compassion for others, but I didn't sense it from this person at all.  

And that makes me a little upset and wonder HOW MUCH MONEY is Goodwill actually making? I wonder how much the CEO is making and what kind of mansion he or she may be living in. Are they making too much off of free donations to them ?

Update: "GOODWILL CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year...., Goodwill has become an international nonprofit that takes in more than $4.8 billion in annual revenue"

To the RUDE LADY with the bike on the narrow ramp at Redondo Beach

To the RUDE LADY  with the bike  on the narrow ramp at Redondo Beach. U could have waited 15 seconds for me to reach the bottom rather than starting up & causing us to squeeze by eachother.👎 i had the right-of-way since i was already halfway down..u started upward anyways ..Furthermore there's a big wide ramp more suitable for bicycles only a 60-second ride down the strand. I really wouldn't have cared if u were nice, but you were bossy, like "get outta my way" 😠 #ShameOnYou taking advantage of people.

Yelp review: ie my review of yelp

Despicable: #Yelp removed a review I did of a major store  in L.A. b/c I said I get tired of Latino employees calling me "boss", basically accusing ME of being racist because I was accusing them of being racist. Calling a person "boss" is a 'dog whistle' by these fellas..They use it primarily towards whites & at first you think they're being respectful, but it's actually a subtle self-serving insult. I am self-employed & WORK plenty hard every single day  & I'm NOT your boss nor bossing anybody around like a "karen".

BEWARE the RISE of "VIRTUE SIGNALLING" (too often in a bad way)

LOT OF PEOPLE WITHOUT SINCERE INTENTIONS OR TRUE INNER HOLINESS ARE USING "VIRTUAL SIGNALLING" TO MARGINALIZE GOOD PEOPLE AT THE EXPENSE OF BAD...THESE PEOPLE PICK OPPORTUNE MOMENTS TO "blow their horn" (sometimes literally in the case of car alarms) and often when there is NO opportunity to defend oneself adequately, or for that matter, just by being put on the DEFENSIVE, one is already marginalized. It really is a SLEAZY modus operandi (M.O.) in many cases.., all the more so when the "bad guy" is doing it at the "good guy's" expense...and the good guy often doesn't know what's happening until it is too late. Even sometimes bad cops are doing this at the expense of good citizens... often in the form of legalistic enforcement of the law and issuing a little "sermon" to go along with the legalism...it is the HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY, which Jesus was preaching against during His time on earth..

FYI EVERYBODY: the word "SUPER" is way over-used now!

FYI EVERYBODY: the word "SUPER" is way over-used as an adverb now! Its being used by the "young & hip" in every field:broadcasters,athletes,celebrities,& yes,even pastors.You hear people say I was "super-excited",or he is "super-cool",and the list goes on. I'm just saying its being over-used now & turning people off in the audiences,even if most people,of course, won't say anything negative about it.

Maybe go back to the simple "so" as a way of emphasizing your affection.Just thought I'd give u a heads up!
