RE:MY BILL AT THE "JET" HOTEL
IS THE NEON YET THE NAME THEY GO BY VIA A BUSINESS CARD TAPED TO AN INSIDE WINDOW READS "JET INN, 4542 W SLAUSON AVE., LA, CA 90043, TEL # 323-295-2544 THAT SAYS, NEAR AIRPORT ON THE CARD, AND IT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT. I STAYED THERE LAST NIGHT AND I WONDERED IF THE "JET HOTEL" HAD ANY AFFILIATION WITH "JET" MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS INCLUDING EBONY MAGAZINE OF WHICH I HAD GRACED THE COVER RICHARD ROUNDTREE AND I, AS THE TWO LEADS IN "SHAFT'S BIG SCORE" DESCRIBING ME AS BEING COLOR BLIND, AND WE HAD A SPREAD INSIDE "EBONY" MAGAZINE AS WELL. I THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN I HAD MET JOHN JOHNSON, ALLEGED PUBLISHER ON THE SET OF SHAFT WHILE SITTING IN HIS SHINY BLACK LIMO, AND AFTER SAYING HELLO TO HIM, AS "MR. JOHNSON" HE TOTALLY IGNORED ME, ACTING AS IF I DIDN'T EXIST.
THE LOCATION WHERE WE WERE SHOOTING WAS OVER ON THE ISLAND WHERE I HAD BEEN RELEGATED DURING ANOTHER "NERVOUS BREAKDOWN" STAYING AT THE COTTAGE, AND LATER TRANSFERRED TO A PSYCHE WARD REPUTED TO BE THE WORSE WARD IN THE STATE OWNED HOSPITAL, WHERE MONTHS AGO OUT HERE IN CALIFORNIA, WHILE RIDING THE BUS, IN SANTA MONICA, I SAW TWO OF THE MEN FROM THE STATE HOSPITAL, NOW LOOKING YOUNGER, AND IN BETTER SHAPE, BUT STILL I RECALL THE SIMILARITY, I HAD LEFT THEM IN THE HOSPITAL AND THEY HAD BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED BY THEN, ALSO THE WOMEN'S WARD WAS WHERE I SAW TWO FEMALES ROMANTICALLY KISSING IN THE LADIES ROOM, AND I DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME, THAT THIS WAS SUBLIMINAL SUGGESTION, AND WHILE BACK IN NEW YORK I SAW ANOTHER PATIENT WHO WAS RECEIVING ELECTRICAL SHOCK TREATMENT AT THE FRANKLIN WOMEN'S SHELTER, AND WHEN I THOUGHT THIS, WAS WHEN THEY REMOVED HER FROM THE FACILITY, THOUGH I NEVER STAYED AT THE FACILITY, MY PURPOSE WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN INTERNATIONAL RING OF CRIMINALS FROM VARYING BACKGROUNDS THAT STRIPPED PEOPLE OF THEIR REAL ESTATE, BANK ACCOUNTS, AND SOULS, BEFORE THEY KNEW WHAT HAPPENED.
I DID SEE EVIDENCE OF THIS AT THE FRANKLIN WOMEN'S SHELTER IN THE BRONX, NOT TOO FAR FROM WHERE MR. GP, GERARD POPIEDIU (SORRY FOR THE MISSPELL) WHO STARRED IN "GREEN CARD"...(SEE PRIOR BLOG REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES AND WHY IMPORTANT MOVIES MUST BE PRESERVED...MOVIES THAT SHOW FAR BETTER THAN I CAN REPORT, THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS PRETENSE...THE PROBLEM MUST BE REVEALED BEFORE IT CAN BE SOLVED...
BACK TO THE JET HOTEL, I WAS GRATEFUL WHEN THE NIGHT CLERK QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $83 PLUS A $5 DEPOSIT, GRATEFUL BECAUSE OUT AT THE AIRPORT I WAS QUOTED WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE OUTLANDISH PRICES WHICH I HAD TO DECLINE, ONE AT A HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS ABOUT $290, AND A MOTEL 8 AT ABOUT $129, AND AN EMBASSY SUITE AT $229...SO THE PRICE WAS RIGHT, TO QUOTE A ONCE POPULAR TV GAME SHOW...
I HAVE FIGURED OUT BY NOW THAT ALL THE PLACES THAT I HAD VISITED, WOULD BE ASSISTING THE JET HOTEL'S MANAGER IN QUOTING ME A PRICE THAT WOULD SATISFY ME SINCE THEY KNEW WHEN I HAD CASHED MY MOST RECENT SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK, STILL LOWER THAN WHAT IT SHOULD BE, AS IS MY SAG PENSION AS WELL AS MY SAG-AFTRA PENSION (AFTER THE MERGER)...I RECALL ONCE I WAS PLANTED IN FRONT OF THE ASIAN MANAGER THE PHONE RANG, AND HE LISTENED AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER HE QUOTED ME THE PRICE, ASKING IF I SMOKED, AND I NOTICED ON THE DOOR OF ROOM 104 THE PASTED SIGN OF IT BEING A NON SMOKING ROOM, AND I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE LOCK WAS A NON-SECURITY LOCK, WITHOUT A DOOR KNOB, BUT A HANDLE THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR A DRAWER TO A UNTENSIL (TBC)
