Recently, I had a nightmare in my sleep regarding my mother’s entire family being in my presence; including both of my mother’s parents.

In this nightmare, I found myself calling the Police to evict my mother’s entire family away from my presence, and to send the message for them to stay the heck away from me for eternity. In part and parcel, I file restraining orders against them all.

Also, I found myself screaming at my mother’s entire family: “Leave this place, you filthy relatives; I despise all of you. Kindly depart from this place, refrain from returning, and henceforth maintain a perpetual distance from me”.

See these earlier posts regarding how much I despise my mother’s entire family, the fact that I never have and never will want them within the family, and how much I always have, and always will want my father’s family within the family: I Am Worried About My Parents Potentially Choosing To Stay Put In The House That We’ve Tried Many Times To Move Out Of For So Many Years Prior, That My Parents Could Rekindle Their Relationships With My Mother’s Family, That I Could Wind Up Living With My Sister And Her Husband, And That My Parents May Acquire Any More Minivans, The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With The Television Personalities On The Cable Channel HGTV Known As The “Property Brothers”, The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With Drag Racer and Television Personality Bruno Massel, and the Television Personalities on the Cable Channels HGTV and DIY/Magnolia Network Mike Holmes Jr., Mark Bowe, and Brian McCourt, The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With Modern NASCAR Driver Casey Mears, The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With Modern NASCAR Driver Denny Hamlin, The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With Modern NASCAR Driver Kasey Kahne, And Modern Formula 1 Driver Jenson Button, The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With Modern NASCAR Driver Elliott Sadler, The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With Modern Formula 1 Driver Nick Heidfeld, And Modern NASCAR Drivers Kevin Harvick And Matt Kenseth, More Of The Things The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With The “Property Brothers”, and Young, Radical Males That Shave Their Heads With A Razor And Shaving Cream; And In Some Cases, Have Full Facial Beards-Whether They Are Neatly Groomed, Or Are Long And Scraggly.

Truly, in this nightmare; I am being coerced to participate in social events with my mother’s relatives, such as the social events depicted in the photo below, where exemplary families are gathered at Restaurants:

Also, in this nightmare; I am being coerced to participate in social events with my mother’s relatives held in their own homes and condominiums, such as the one that my parents literally attended and took part in during Christmas time in circa 1985-1986; and is depicted in the photographs below:

If you’ve been following this Blog for a while, you know that I don’t have any tolerance, whatsoever; for cooking, eating at home, sitting at the table together as a family, associating with close, extended family; family gatherings with close, extended family; and nuclear families living on typical, small lots within typical subdivisions.

Case in point: never wanting to have my mother’s entire family in our family, wanting to hurt emotionally my mother’s entire family over me not ever wanting them in my presence and my absolute refusal to accept them in my life and as part of the family; having wanted to make my parents feel bad over their love, tolerance, and allowance of and for my mother’s entire family in their presence, having also wanted to not only make my parents feel bad over them possessing vehicles that I despise of just as much as I despise my mother’s entire family: any Minivan, including the Oldsmobile Silhouette that my parents had once owned, and the two Buick Rendezvous that my parents had once owned; but having wanted to make my parents feel equally as bad over them lovingly transporting my mother’s parents (the grandparents of mine that I infinitely, and unequivocally despise with a vengeance) in the Minivans, and the two Buick Rendezvous that I highly loathe also with a vengeance, and my parents also cruising and driving around Harsen’s Island, Michigan and Armada, Michigan; driving to, and cruising around once we’re in these areas of Tawas City, East Tawas, Oscoda, and West Branch, Michigan; embarking on a long, arduous, uncomfortable, and miserable drive from Michigan to Florida; my parents taking a great amount of pride in these grandparents that I highly despise of residing in the same, exact neighborhood that I also despise of just as much as I despise my mother’s entire family, the Minivans that my parents have owned, and the two Buick Rendezvous that my parents have owned; wanting to hurt my mother’s parents, my mother’s eldest brother, and his wife emotionally over their cooking and hospitality; wanting to hurt my sister emotionally over her being involved in School Band and Music, likewise wanting to hurt emotionally children, adolescents, and young adults being involved in Sports, and pursing playing Sports collegiately and professionally; my parents schlepping my sister around in the Minivans and Buick Rendezvous that I despise of to Band and Music events; parents of children being involved in Sports schlepping them around to the Sporting Events that they participate in; Minivans and Front-Wheel-Drive Unibody Passenger Cars and Crossover Utility Vehicles being social norms of the late 1990’s and beyond, and Sports and Fitness being a social norm just as much as cooking, eating at home, sitting at the table together as a nuclear or extended family unit or group, most people not being interested in Automobiles and related machinery, and most people viewing an Automobile as nothing more than an Appliance not unlike a Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Clothes Washer, and a Clothes Dryer.

Similarly, I have a desire to affect the lives of Warren Consolidated Schools teacher Carolyn Armbruster, her spouse Joseph, and their three offspring by disrupting extended periods of travel by Car that are not unlike cruising and driving around Harsen’s Island, Michigan and Armada, Michigan; driving to, and cruising around once we’re in these areas of Tawas City, East Tawas, Oscoda, and West Branch, Michigan; embarking on a long, arduous, uncomfortable, and miserable drive from Michigan to Florida; the process of cooking, the act of dining at home, the shared experience of sitting together at the table as a familial unit; not unlike my intolerance over my parents desire at one time to make our nuclear family as socially normal as possible, my parents trying to push and prod me into eating at home, tolerate being around food, tolerate sitting at the table together as a family, and eat a normal diet; as well as the various family gatherings involving both Carolyn and her husband Joseph’s families that are not unlike the family gatherings involving my mother’s entire family. Moreover, I would like to impede Carolyn’s own Childrens’ participation in Band and Music; likewise to how I would have liked to hurt my sister emotionally over her participation in Band and Music.

See this earlier post Frequently, I Question Myself, “What Is The Meaning Of Life?” And “What Is The Point Of Living?”with regards to how I have absolutely zero tolerance for all of the above.

Additionally, Carolyn Armbruster and her husband Joseph both had an authoritarian and dictatorial parenting style; and they very rarely ever allowed their own children to have a say in the matter, for as long as they lived in their house.

Carolyn Armbruster and her husband were never deserving to own a Full-Size Station Wagon, drive it into the ground, and junk it once they have finished driving it into the ground; replaced this Full-Size Station Wagon with a Suburban, drove it into the ground, dragged their children on long car rides in it, whether their children liked it or not; had also put a Snow Plow on their Suburban, and forced each of their three children to take their Suburban as their first vehicle upon receiving their Driver’s Licenses; or else they wouldn’t be able to drive until they moved out of the house, went off to College, and/or bought a place of their own. Carolyn and Joseph Armbruster wouldn’t even allow their children to purchase their own vehicle with any money they’ve earned for as long as they continued to live in their house. Without a shadow of a doubt were Carolyn and Joseph Armbruster never deserving to own a Suburban.

Carolyn Armbruster, both of my mother’s brothers, my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law, and my mother’s cousin John were never deserving to own any Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades, Expeditions, Navigators, Jeeps, and Land Rovers.

The picture below depicts pictorially the fact that my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law, and my mother’s cousin John were never deserving to own any Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades, Expeditions, Navigators, Jeeps, and Land Rovers:

Only people who buy Full-Size Station Wagons, Suburbans, Tahoes, and Escalades with the intent of using them the way my parents and I had used them, and have emotional attachments towards vehicles like these; people who have respect for the histories of Jeep and Land Rover, and people who buy Jeeps and Land Rovers with Power Take-Off (PTO) Units; and use them for Property Maintenance, Agricultural, Commercial, and Industrial uses; are deserving to own Full-Size Station Wagons, Suburbans, Tahoes, Escalades, Jeeps, and Land Rovers.

Don Chisholm, a Ham Radio Operator whose Call Sign is K8BB; who also happened to be my sister’s Assistant Band Director while in High School; is much more important than my sister being involved in Band and Music, Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Carolyn Armbruster’s own children being involved in Band and Music; and Carolyn Armbruster’s son David Armbruster ultimately becoming a School Band Director, himself as his dayjob.

Below is a link with Don Chisholm’s Amateur/Ham Radio credentials, and details about his Ham Radio equipment from a public Amateur/Ham Radio Operator Directory, QRZ: https://www.qrz.com/db/K8BB

Warren Consolidated Schools Teachers Carolyn Armbruster, Carolyn Ann Tuzzo, Julie Stanaway, Celia Socha, Mary Ellen Green, Julie Dean, Terri Dworkin, Patricia Venaleck, Steve Gerling and his wife Carole, Ann Kolinski, Gilka Calazans-Paxton, and Darlene Zimmerman all derive great pleasure from participating in household tasks, such as cooking and sharing meals together. In addition, they place great importance on frugality, making a conscious effort to retain their existing automobiles for as long as they can. They appear to have an internal focus, which causes them to become self-absorbed and less interested in the world outside of their immediate environment. They merit contempt due to their personalities, just as Carolyn Armbruster merits contempt for the same reason.

Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Steve Gerling purchased one of the very first Minivans that The Evil Iacocca had put into production while in the position as the CEO of the Chrysler Corporation in late 1983, and one of the very first extended length Minivans that The Evil Iacocca had put into production in late 1986. Steve Gerling needs to be scrutinized over the Minivans that he had owned, just as much as my parents had needed to be scrutinized over the Minivans, and two Buick Rendezvous that they have owned.

Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Steve Gerling was never deserving to own the Dodge B-Vans that he had personally converted into Conversion Vans, all of the Dodge D-Series and Ram Pickup Trucks that he had owned, the XJ Jeep Cherokee that he had once owned, and the YJ Jeep Wrangler that he had once owned. See the above paragraphs with regards to who are the right type of people to own a Full Size, a Jeep, and a Land Rover.

Moreover, as is the case with Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Carolyn Armbruster and her husband Joseph; fellow Warren Consolidated Schools Teachers and husband and wife Steve and Carole Gerling also merit contempt for them too, having had an authoritarian and dictatorial parenting style; and them, too very rarely ever allowing their own children to have a say in the matter, for as long as they lived in their house.

Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Terri Dworkin needs to be scrutinized over all of the Minivans that she has owned, for the same reasons that my parents had needed to be scrutinized over the Minivans, and two Buick Rendezvous that they have owned.

Warren Consolidated Schools Teachers Celia Socha and Darlene Zimmerman both propose of a “contract” that stipulates certain behavioral expectations. These expectations include conforming to societal norms, adhering to the cultural standards associated with Disney and NASCAR, refraining from visiting Radio and Television Stations, avoiding contact, acquaintances, and friendships with significantly older individuals, abstaining from emotional-driven interactions, and refraining from seeking connections with accomplished individuals whose legacies that I, the owner of this very Blog; aspire to continue through my own literary works. Failure to comply with these terms would have resulted in in Celia Socha contacting Social Services. Celia Socha asserts her belief that she can effectively underscore and communicate to the me, the owner of this very Blog the notion that I am merely an average individual, devoid of any exceptional qualities, and hence should not be entitled to any form of preferential treatment.

More individuals who have this type of personality, and exhibit this time of behavior are some of the School Bus Drivers of Warren Consolidated Schools, namely Candace Imburnone-Barr, Deborah Giganic, Shiela “Shelly” Marie Trendel-Griswold, Pamela Mott, Penny Orban, Kim “Froggie” Proch, Josie Sabelsky, Anita Jacob, Anne Waldowski, and Kelly Ponzio each view their jobs as School Bus Driver as nothing more than a job that they work to help make ends meet, the School Buses, themselves as nothing more than a machine and a piece of steel; they do not understand how infatuated I, the owner of this very Blog am over School Buses; and these School Bus Drivers express a lack of preference towards the current Hot Adult Contemporary Format of WPLJ-FM. Similarly, they do not hold any particular interest in the Progressive Rock and Album Rock formats that were previously adopted by WPLJ-FM and its predecessor WABC-FM between 1970 and 1983. It is worth noting that these formats were also implemented across other FM Stations owned and operated by ABC. It is important to acknowledge that Allen Shaw played a significant role in introducing the automated “Love” format, subsequently transitioning to live Progressive and Album Rock formats, and ultimately changing the call letters of WABC-FM to WPLJ in 1971. Similarly, the individuals named Candace Imburnone-Barr, Deborah Giganic, Shiela “Shelly” Marie Trendel-Griswold, Pamela Mott, Penny Orban, Kim “Froggie” Proch, Anita Jacob, Anne Waldowski, Kelly Ponzio, and Lisa Smith each exhibit a lack of concern regarding the initial transition of WHYT-FM/WPLT-FM/WDVD-FM in Detroit from its previous identity as WJR-FM; and the initial transition of CIDR-FM in Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, Canada from its previous identity as CKLW-FM. They also demonstrate indifference towards the ongoing co-ownership and co-operation between WDVD-FM and WJR-AM, and CIDR-FM and CKLW-AM. Furthermore, they acknowledge Allen Shaw’s role in implementing the automated “Love” format on WXYZ-FM, subsequently followed by the introduction of live Progressive and Album Rock formats; and the change in call letters from WXYZ-FM to WRIF in 1971.

Moreover, if you’ve been following this Blog for a while; you also know that I don’t have any tolerance, whatsoever; for families living within close, cramped quarters in small houses. We’re talking houses that are 1,600 square feet and below.

And, in this nightmare; my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law, a heavy-duty alcoholic and frequent bar hopper; her two children, all of the children of my mother’s brothers, and each together patronize this Sports Bar in the Detroit suburb of Sterling Heights, Michigan; socialize amongst each other, and drink the night away while doing so:

https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=e10ab98b-822a-45f3-aa24-9bbd5931b34b&cp=42.602615~-83.040504&lvl=16&pi=0&imgid=5180a64a-eb00-4474-bcb9-34d1da2c86f8&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027

Due to my mother’s brothers’, their children, and my mother’s eldest brother’s nephew’s fondness for BMWs, and also due to my mother’s parents, my mother’s eldest brother, and my mother’s eldest brother’s in-laws’ loyalty to the Pontiac and Oldsmobile Divisions of General Motors, my mother’s eldest brother’s eldest son transports his first cousin, modern NASCAR Driver Elliott Sadler, and modern Formula 1 Driver Nick Heidfeld all in a BMW E31, and a BMW E36 4-Door Sedan converted into a Landaulet by Karosserie Baur, a Coachbuilder in Stuttgart, Germany; that my mother’s eldest brother has purchased on behalf of his eldest son with no strings attached. At other times, my mother’s eldest brother’s nephew transports my mother’s eldest brother’s eldest son; Elliott Sadler, and Nick Heidfeld all in GM N-Platform (see this earlier post: Evidence That General Motors’ J, N, And L-Platforms Are Some Of The Company’s Worst Platforms) Oldsmobile Calais, Acheiva, and Alero 2-Door Coupe and 4-Door Sedan Passenger Cars that this nephew in question owns. Elliott Sadler and Nick Heidfeld kiss each other, and make love with each other while being transported in the BMWs that my mother’s eldest brother has purchased on behalf of his eldest son, and in the Oldsmobile-branded GM N-Platform vehicles that my mother’s eldest brother’s owns outright.

True, I would like to undermine the affinity for novelty, Athletic pursuits, physical well-being, exclusive social engagements, intimate familial assemblies, engaging in athletic activities and spectating Sporting Events on Television among friends and immediate relatives, with no concern about the broadcasting aspect of Sports; and personal flexibility, adaptability, and tolerance levels of modern NASCAR drivers including Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Carl Edwards, Regan Smith, and Matt Kenseth, along with Matt Kenseth’s nine daughters and his son Ross, contemporary Formula 1 Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button, NFL Players Tom Brady, each of the five Gronkowski brothers, brothers Bruce and Gino Gradkowski, NHL Players Shane Doan and his son Josh, Derek Morris, Jason LaBarbera, Martin LaPointe and each of his three sons, Rod Brind’Amour and his two sons, MLB Player Steve Pearce, Drag Racer and Television Personality Bruno Massel, Television Personalities known as “The Property Brothers”, Television Personality Mark Bowe, and Television Personality Mike Holmes Jr.; Basketball Player, Baseball Player, Athletic Trainer, Personal Trailer, And Former Homicide Detective With The Tulsa, Oklahoma Police Department Who Was Featured On The Reality Television Program “The First 48” Matt Frazier, Ronnie Leatherman, a Basketball Player and another Homicide Detective with the Tulsa Police Department; and Chase Calhoun, an Athlete and a Homicide Detective turned Uniformed Patrol Officer also with the Tulsa Police Department.

Jimmie Johnson, Elliott Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Casey Mears, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Carl Edwards, Regan Smith, and Matt Kenseth’s entries into NASCAR; and the change that they brought forth from day one of their entries into NASCAR, happened during the time that my parents owned their Oldsmobile Silhouette, and both of their Buick Rendezvous. I could not handle these modern Drivers’ entries into NASCAR, the change they bought forth to NASCAR, and them being contemporaries of all of the children of my mother’s brothers, and my mother’s eldest brother’s sister-in-law; just as much as I couldn’t handle my parents owning their Minivans and Buick Rendezvous, my father thinking at this point in time that Full-Size Station Wagons, Full-Size Vans, Suburbans, Tahoes, and European vehicles such as Volkswagens, Audis, Mercedes-Benzs, Renaults, Peugeots, and Citroens are nothing more than Appliances and pieces of steel (case in point: my parents, at one time; had contemplated purchasing a Mercedes-Benz CL203 3-Door Liftback, but in spite of this being Mercedes-Benz’s lowest cost model in the North American market at the time; my parents had ultimately decided that this Car was not worth the money, that living a mediocre lifestyle, possessing mediocre items, and attempting to raise a family in the most socially normal way was more important than purchasing a Car like the Mercedes-Benz CL203. In earlier times, my parents would have more likely jumped on purchasing a Car like the Mercedes-Benz CL203) my parents choosing to be closer to my mother’s family than my father’s, each and every one of the gatherings with my mother’s family, my parents transporting my mother’s parents, my parents also cruising and driving around Harsen’s Island, Michigan and Armada, Michigan; driving to, and cruising around once we’re in these areas of Tawas City, East Tawas, Oscoda, and West Branch, Michigan; embarking on the long, arduous, uncomfortable, and miserable drive from Michigan to Florida; my parents being content with staying in the small house with close, cramped quarters on the typical, small lot within a typical subdivision; very close in proximity to my mother’s parents since September, 1990; my parents desire at one time to make our nuclear family as socially normal as possible, my parents trying to push and prod me into eating at home, tolerate being around food, tolerate sitting at the table together as a family, and eat a normal diet; my sister’s involvement with Band and Music, my mother’s entire family listening to Dick Purtan and his posse on WCZY-FM/WKQI-FM, my father expecting me to tolerate listening to the Radio in a vehicle as part of a family group (the Minivans, and the two Buick Rendezvous; nonetheless), and my father having the AM/FM Radio in the paltry and dowdy Minivans and Buick Rendezvous tuned to CIMX-FM (nee CKWW-FM), WDRQ-FM (nee WJBK-FM), CIDR-FM (nee CKLW-FM), WPLT-FM/WDVD-FM (nee WJR-FM), and WRIF-FM (nee WXYZ-FM); and my parents, along with my mother’s entire family each watching WDIV-TV’s newscasts, WJBK-TV’s newscasts as a FOX affiliate, and WKBD-TV’s newscasts.

See this earlier post regarding my aversion towards WDIV-TV’s newscasts, WJBK-TV’s newscasts as a FOX affiliate, WKBD-TV’s newscasts, and the current WWJ-TV’s (nee WGPR-TV) newscasts: Personal Qualms That I Have Over WDIV-TV (nee WWJ-TV).

It shall be known that as the Mercedes-Benz CL203 was Mercedes-Benz’s lowest-priced model in the North American market at the time, it was more like a Volkswagen Golf GTI that was Rear-Wheel-Drive than a Mercedes in the normal sense for those who know Daimler-Benz AG for their luxury Passenger Cars, Crossover Utility Vehicles, and luxury variants of the Gelandewagen/G-Class; and not for their lower cost Passenger Cars, their Commercial Vehicles, the Unimog, and the Utility and Military versions of the Gelandewagen. The CL203 came standard with Cloth Seating Surfaces, and Manual Dual-Zone Climate Control; and could be had with Leather Seating Surfaces, a 6-Disc CD Changer, and many of the other luxuries that one might normally expect in a Mercedes-Benz as individual Options, or as part of Packages. The CL203 is related to another variant of the W203, the R170 SLK Roadster. Both share the W203 2-Door floorpan, and the Supercharged variants of the M111 and M271 Engines. The CL203, however; could also be had with the Turbocharged version of the M271 Engine. The W203, CL203, and R170 were some of the first-generation Daimler-Benz products not to be overengineered, overbuilt, and in layman’s terms: designed and built to Taxicab standards. The R170 went into production shortly before, and was produced during the time when Daimler-Benz AG had merged with the Chrysler Corporation to form DaimlerChrysler AG. The W203 and CL203 had gone into production a couple years after Daimler-Benz AG had merged with the Chrysler Corporation to form DaimlerChrysler AG. Daimler-Benz had garroted Chrysler right back to the point where Chrysler had filed for bankruptcy in September, 1979; the United States Government had granted loans for Chrysler in January, 1980. Daimler-Benz would divest itself of Chrysler in 2007, Chrysler would go on to be sold to the Cerberus Capital Group, than to Fiat S.P.A, and finally; the merged Chrysler-Fiat would merge with Peugeot and Citroen in 2021, forming the company that is known in the present day as Stellantis.

God has likely arranged for a special place for all of the children from my mother’s entire family, modern NASCAR Drivers Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Elliott Sadler, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, and Matt Kenseth and his son Ross; and modern Formula One Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button to all wind up in together after their eventual deaths. That special place is called Hell.

Meanwhile, I will likely return to our spiritual home with God, where the 1970’s, 1980’s, and early 1990’s linger forevermore; and spend eternity in Heaven and in other Universes with God himself, my parents, my paternal grandparents, Marie “Mimi”, her daughter Mary Ann, her five children (including Shannon), Shannon’s husband Ray, Alison’s husband David, John Roeck, Jeannette Wesolowski, George Seguin (whose passing I wrote about in the following post a few years ago (as of the time of writing this post): A Teacher That I’ve Loved Has Passed Away), Shari Lewis, Orpah Winfrey and her friend Gayle King, Allen Shaw, ABC founder Leonard Goldenson, other ABC employees Fred Pierce, Elton Rule, and Roone Arledge; CBS founder William “Bill” Paley, Neal Pilson, Ken Squier, Brent Musberger, Jim Nantz, Pat Summerall, George B.
