You are never going to meet someone unless you go out and about meeting people. You are never going to change your luck unless you try. I still keep a pinky toe in the realm of hope that Virginia will stop being horrible. I first found this joke on the Internet when I first moved to Virginia. It seemed all-too-true of the horrifying dating situation of human sewage that is all that I have found here. You can’t really make a diamond out of a heap-of-trash. In other towns my dating situation is great, and that is why I leave so often when I can visit. Unfortunately my family sold our Texas property and moved ALL the houses here. Every year I hope it will the last time I have to update the dates on this photo. I like jokes like this because other people have noticed dating can be an impossible dream, and it feels good NOT to be alone.

Changing at the Gym
Me changing at the Anytime Fitness gym before a night on the town with Karaoke this week. I am getting started on New Year’s Resolutions BEFORE the new year! Somehow I managed to forget to post for Halloween this year my blue skeleton make-up so here goes that photo as well. People have been hassling me to not use so many filters on my photos, and so these are both photos filter free.
P.S. Facebook people: Thanks for all the likes on these photos. I needed that this Christmas as I have met nothing but abusive human sewage in the state of Virginia since moving here.

Out and About
I am extra single for this holiday season. I hate being single, and it makes me extra sad. Lets hope getting out a bit to sing Karaoke this week will change my luck. You are not going to meet anyone new sitting around the house on the sofa!

Too Busy and Other Untrue Things
I just had two guys in a row say they were “too busy to see me due to work” for an entire month, and so they were dumping me. Then they tried to demand to talk to me later like nothing happened. I know guys working three jobs who still make time for a dinner with a lady and kids. You sir are an abuser and a douche-bag, and are not just a busy person. People wonder how women end up single after age 30, and this is a big part of the problem. Men today love things and money, and not people.

Cool Posters
Rough week but cool posters at my teaching assignment this week. I don’t know what makes some classes well behaved, and some hear Tina Turner sing in the apocalypse when a new teacher is in class. Last week I had easy to manage kids. This week they were all battling in the Thunderdome the second I took attendance. I called the office, and sent so many kids to detention today.

Blog Update
October 19, 2021
October of 2021 has been a great month for concerts. People are so happy to be back out after the pandemic that people are super friendly at events. I happened to run into Bryan Sage a performer for the Severed Skies music project local to Richmond, Virginia as he opened for Stoneburner last week. I noticed he had a great deal of cassette tapes in his merchandise booth next to t-shirts, stickers, pins, and CDs. I asked him if he sells any, and he had this to say.
“Strangely cassette tapes have made a big come-back lately.” Bryan said. “I have a special company up in Canada that makes them. People love buying cassettes these days as it is now considered vintage.”
Bryan has a new album out. It is available on digital download and CD, but he has no plans to stop selling the cassettes.
Check out his latest mixes here:

Interview: Jason Wallach
Update on Unquiet Void Projects
Blog Date October 17, 2021
I was out and about at GWAR bar this month. As Halloween magic would have it I happened to run into some fun friends. One went by the name of Jason Wallach performer for the music project of The Unquiet Void. A fresh transplant from the Long Island and New York, New York area Jason plans to keep making music in the Virginia area now that he has moved back here as a permanent resident. I decided to interview and question him on his early work on Dark Noel was one of my most loved songs a few years back.
“I started out performing as Frank Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture show.” Jason said concerning the daring of the dawn of his performing career. “Yet my interest in the character as a teenager had less to do with him being transsexual, and more to do with me enjoying the flamboyance.”
You can check out Jason’s latest mixes at the following links:

Show Update
The Stoneburner King of Wolves tour 2021 was amazing last night! Great lights, videos, and amazing sound mixes made the music show amazing. In addition it is one of the first good shows to happen after the pandemic so everyone was friendly and nice. It feels SO great to get out of the house for shows again! If you are in a town near their tour list I give this show a five star review, and say get your tickets NOW. Unfortunately you have to buy the tickets online at Eventbright, have a digital ticket code, and have a vaccination card to get in so be prepared for a tricky entrance process.

New Orleans Travel
My plans to visit New Orleans for Halloween got destroyed this
week. Not only is the Delta variant still destroying plans, but hurricane Ida
that hit New Orleans this year is still destroying plans. I made a hotel
reservation to visit New Orleans for their giant events for Halloween 2021.
Halloween is usually a huge boost to New Orleans tourism due to many parades
next to above ground cemeteries in a town with a reputation as a “haunted”
looking vintage city. Jazz Festivals, rare concerts, book signings, and fiction
conventions all plan October dates in New Orleans. Plus I went to school there
for years so I enjoy saying hi to school friends when people are out and about
for events. People fly in from all over the world to see a New Orleans
Halloween. Unfortunately then the hotel I booked at refunded my money as I had
NOT asked to cancel the reservation!
It turns out “first responders” as they call themselves are still living in all the hotels MONTHS after the storm, and have restored very little as town residents are still living in tents months later. They are paying a fraction of what visitors normally pay for the Jazz Festival and Halloween hotels, and destroying the October tourist trade. (The hotel mentioned to me in an angry phone message as they were forced to cancel my reservation without asking.) In addition New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival canceled the October event a few weeks ago (as cited in this article here https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/02/travel/new-orleans-ida-tourism.html), citing concerns about an increase in coronavirus cases so it seems the government is trying to destroy New Orleans under the disguise of “emergency help” to the town. Oh well I just console myself by knowing it can’t be closed forever, and there will be other years. Being stuck in Virginia is a super-crapy substitute for a real New Orleans visit for Halloween, but I will try to make the best of it.
And yes, people from Louisiana many ARE still living in tents. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/month-after-idas-landfall-louisianians-decry-third-world-conditions-2021-10-05/

Link Change
Sales for FH7PUBLISHING.com have moved to a new page. Godaddy decided to bump up their prices to galactic extremes right as I have no free time to care about the Internet. The combination has made Google a better choice for free pages, as PayPal now has buttons you can put on free websites by cutting and pasting an html code. This is the link to the new page.
https://sites.google.com/site/frozenhistory7/
Below are samples from the new free store, and the book “The Halloween Mystery of the Black Camera and Ruby Stone” is on discount sale for Halloween.

James in Town
My brother James Menzies has flown in to live in Virginia. His photo is below with Anne on the left and Alexandria on the right. We are taking him out to dinner tonight. He is a retired Army veteran which served in many tours of duty in the Middle East. Boy does he have interesting ideas to say about the American pull out from Afghanistan this week.

2021 Delta
My faith in Virginia humanity has been somewhat restored as I had a great time out dancing and enjoying music last Friday. It has inspired me to get out and about locally for music more often this year.

Women in the Middle Ages is a great book about the lives of modest and humble people in the Middle Ages. Far too often people only know the stories of the rich and famous in history, but this book shows more lifestyles.
