‘TAKE 5’ DNL #11: MAY-JUNE 2018; WOULD YOU PAY $30,000 FOR YOUR SON TO PLAY BASEBALL AT BASIC ACADEMY/HS IN HENDERSON, NV? ADMIRAL BUSTAMANTE OF THE ‘DESTROYER OF DREAMS’ RESPONDS TO MY REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC DOCUMENTS. RELATIONSHIPS, PURGING, AND LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE ARE OTHER TOPICS.
TIME has indicated for another 10,000 word story. Before the story is told, a ‘Morning Verse’ should be shared. ‘A Daybook of Grace’ quotes the following passage,
THE DOOR OF HOPE
“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer”. Romans 12:11-12
“God is the only one who can make the valley of trouble a door of hope”. Catherine Marshall
Think about it. If you had everything you wanted, if there were no challenges in your life, if you didn’t have any questions about why things are the way they are, and if you didn’t feel there was something for you to accomplish that is bigger than your abilities; what would you have to hope for? Nothing of course. You would already have everything.
We know that’s not the way the world works—but sometimes we act and feel as though that’s exactly what we believe. We seem surprise by problems and challenges.
We live in a world with fallen people. That accounts for so many of the trails we face. But beyond that, God wants us to live in reliance on Him. For that reason, He doesn’t grant our every wish and give us everything our heart desires exactly when we want it. He wants us to grow in the ways that really matter—patience, kindness, self-control, and other fruits of the spirit. (see Galatians 5:22-23 for a list)
Don’t have everything you want right now? Well, that gives you something to hope for!
LORD, AS I WORK AND WAIT FOR VARIOUS BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE, HELP ME TO GROW IN CHARACTER AND MATURITY. AMEN. (end of passage)
It has been over five years since my LIFE took a swim as a single fish in the Dream Fishbowl in Henderson NV. Four years ago spawned the creation of the Nick Feher ‘TAKE 5’ Foundation Facebook page. Three years ago, my website playinyourdreams.com became a reality. With different topics to choose from in this story, feel free to skip around to explore your topics of interest.
Today’s story begins with ‘PURGING’. A definition of PURGE from dictionary.com.
- to rid of whatever is impure or undesirable; cleanse; purify.
- to rid, clear, or free (usually followed by of or from): to purge a political party of disloyal members.
- to clear of imputed guilt or ritual uncleanliness.
- to clear away or wipe out legally (an offense, accusation, etc.) by atonement or other suitable action.
- to remove by cleansing or purifying (often followed by away, off, or out).
- to clear or empty (the bowels) by causing evacuation.
- to cause evacuation of the bowels of (a person).
Vocabulary.com writes; “To purge is to get rid of something or someone, and often it’s done suddenly. Purge rhymes with urge, and when you have a really strong urge to throw stuff away or clean something out, you have an urge to purge.
From the Latin purgare, meaning “purify,” purge is used as a verb for removing impure things, whether they’re guilty feelings in a person or rotten vegetables in a refrigerator. As a noun, the act of tossing out the too-small clothes in your closet before getting new ones might be called a purge. It can be a very bad act, too, as when individuals have an unhealthy urge to purge or empty their stomachs after eating or when a military group decides to purge a certain ethnic group from a country”. (End of definitions)
As one can read, PURGING engulfs many meanings. Question, ‘Have you ever PURGED’? If you have, then you too have probably experienced the Emotions that accompany PURGING. Recently, a PURGING for renovations in my Dream Fishbowl has been an ongoing project. The post-nuptial agreement a few years ago included that the ‘Dream Fishbowl’ and many items remained in my possession. A 25 plus years Relationship that included 3 offsprings created a vast amount of items. PURGING is a TIME consuming activity, for each item has to be handled, and evaluated. There have been books and many articles written about PURGING.
My experience included dancing with Melancholy and other Emotions as I touched each item. Some describe PURGING as an ‘Emotional Experience’ when one removes unwanted items from their LIVES. Some of the ‘PURGING’ results in Gifts & Blessings to others as in donations of usable items. Other ‘PURGING’ are just tossed in the recycle bin to give back to the earth that once created it, or tossed out with the trash to be buried in landfills. ‘Special PURGING’ is sometimes saved. This ‘PURGING’ also releases old emotional bonds once held for these items, making room to store new emotional bonds from newly formed Relationships with others and other items.
It was during this PURGING that the word Relationship also joined in as a partner. Vocabulary.com writes;
“When you’re in a relationship, you’re emotionally involved or at least connected in some way. If you’re related to somebody — your parents, your aunts and uncles, your cousins — you share a family relationship with them.
You can also use relationship to describe dealings between various groups, as “Members of the European Union have a relationship of economic interconnectedness,” or “A lease helps define your relationship with your landlord.” You’ll also see relationship used with interactions that don’t directly involve people. In many of these cases, the word relation is better. For example, in the sentence “We are always looking at the relationship between ticket price and sales,” it would be better to use relation”. (End of Definition)
It is a general consensus that Relationships could involve people, items, ideas, nature, music, sports, religions, jobs, careers, hobbies and many other endeavors. After Nick physically passed on this planet, the word Relationship morphed into a new meaning in my vocabulary. My new meaning became, RELATIONSHIP is defined as ‘TIME Well-Spent With Others With No Guarantees’. In the natural scheme of the Universe, Nick should have outlived my ASS. However, his ‘Competitive Spirit’ clouded his judgement to ‘TAKE 5’, which resulted in his early demise. It was during my Journey after Nick’s Physical Passing that the Laws of Universe formed a Relationship in my LIFE.
Prior to the Laws of the Universe, my experience with other laws included, ‘The Laws of Man’ and ‘The Laws of Religion’. Marcelo Gleiser of npr.org writes about the Laws of Man, “We humans are an unruly bunch. So much so that we need laws to keep order, to make sure we stay on track. Without our laws, society would quickly descend into chaos. The laws of man are guarantors of order, a necessary control against the inherent greediness of our species”.
When one looks closely at the Laws of Man, much of its contents are taken from the Laws of Religion. Depending on the region of the world, this Relationship varies. Some societies base their Laws of Man to mirror closely their society’s Laws of Religion. Other regions of the world may choose a different Relationship. My personal religious training consisted of Catholicism.
My ASS & 2 BRAINS attended St. Joseph Roman Catholic Elementary Grade School 1-8 in West Aliquippa, Pa. To escape the wrath of the nuns, it was always a wise choice to attend daily mass before the start of each school day. To earn additional bonus points for entrance into Heaven, my ASS & 2 BRAINS became an altar boy. My performance would eventually earn the extra opportunities to assist with funerals, weddings, baptisms and ‘Special Holy Days’, along with escorting the Roman Catholic priest for the ‘Blessings of the Homes’ Ceremony. These extra opportunities also included monetary tips.
Part of the daily classroom schedule included strong portions of Catholicism being served. In addition to my Roman Catholic Relationship, because of my father’s Relationship as Cantor with the town’s Byzantine Catholic Church, I was required to attend their Catechism classes. All other students in the Catechism classes were from the public school. Within the 2 divisions of Catholicism, there are many more similarities than there are differences. However, the major principles are the same. It was this ‘Sameness’ that eventually led to my ‘Unhealthy Relationship’ in Catechism class.
It began as a 3rd & 4th grader. Little did I KNOW at the TIME, the Laws of the Universe started to play a role in my LIFE. Catechism classes were viewed by my ASS as ‘punishment of boredom’. After my daily bombardment of Roman Catholicism by the nuns, my ASS & 2 BRAINS had to serve another 90 plus minute weekly sentence of Byzantine Catholicism that was taught by lay people cutting into my ‘Playin TIME’. As the most knowledgeable student in the room, many of the questions were easily answered by my ASS.
To express my ‘Punishment of Boredom’, occasionally I would play, ‘Stump the Teacher’ by asking theoretical religious questions. If my theoretical question resulted in the instructor saying, ‘I will have to look into that and I will find an answer for the next class’, the Teacher was Stumped. As TIME went on, my Reputation in Catechism classes grew. Instructors would not call on my ASS for answers. Theoretical questions resulted in phone calls to my parents or talks with my father. My parents offered their counseling but my pleas of ‘Punishment of Boredom’ fell on their deaf ears. Eventually my tactics over TIME produced the desired results my ASS sought. My parents grudgingly overturned my sentence. Catechism classes were for public school students.
Though my previous readings in LIFE had introduced the Laws of the Universe, it was after the physical passing of Nick, that they began to recirculate on a regular basis. This regular re-circulation brought attention to my ASS & 2 BRAINS about the Relation of the Laws of the Universe and the word ‘RELATIONSHIP’.
A clarification of my ASS & 2 BRAINS is warranted for all humans have them. An ASS is simply defined as a ‘Human Body’. Each ‘Human Body’, both male and female is under the control of 2 BRAINS. The Primary Brain is located in the skull and is responsible for all of the Human Body’s functions and conditions. In simple terms, these conditions and functions are either controlled by the conscious or subconscious parts of the Primary Brain.
The Primal Brain is located in the genitals of the male and female. Merriam Webster defines the word genital as;
- generative
- of, relating to or being a sexual organ
- of, relating to or characterized by the stage of psychosexual development in psychoanalytic theory during which oral and anal impulses are subordinated to adaptive interpersonal mechanisms (end of definition)
History has shown that a Human Body in TIMES of Wants, Needs and Desires think and act with their Primal Brain before accessing the situation and or Relationship with their Primary Brains. This may or may not lead to the results that one sought.
Before my ASS continues, my Thanks have been sent via a Gratitude Letter to Queen Esther and Queen Jacquie for their Inspiration & Guidance for my last DNL #10. My regular Pen-Pals Dgirl & Batgirl were not available due to their other Relationships. It is with ‘Great Joy’ to write that both Dgirl & Batgirl have found the TIME in their other Relationships to provide my ASS & 2 BRAINS the Inspiration, Guidance, and Wisdom for this DNL #11. Recently, a quiz was shared with them regarding the Laws of the Universe and Relationships. Next is the quiz.
A KNOWING can be revealed by Observing & Analyzing the Laws of the Universe during ‘Every Day Life’ including the Relationships with Others. Using ‘Our Relationship’, which is defined as ‘Time Well-Spent with Others with No Guarantees’, as an example, read each Law then Observe & Analyze if the Law is related to ‘Our Relationship’.
Then mark each with either Yes, Maybe, or No. There is no right or wrong answer. Instead of using ‘Our Relationship’ as an example, feel free to insert others. After you complete the assignment, a KNOWING will be revealed. (Editor’s Note; with you currently as a reader, one can consider that a Relationship has been formed with my ASS & 2 BRAINS)
LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE-EVERYDAY LIFE & RELATIONSHIPS
The Law of Divine Oneness – everything is connected to everything else. What we think, say, do and believe will have a corresponding effect on others and the universe around us.
Law of Vibration – Everything in the Universe moves, vibrates and travels in circular patterns, the same principles of vibration in the physical world apply to our thoughts, feelings, desires and wills in the Etheric world. Each sound, thing, and even thought has its own vibrational frequency, unique unto itself.
Law of Action – Must be employed in order for us to manifest things on earth. We must engage in actions that supports our thoughts dreams, emotions and words
Law of Correspondence – This Universal Law states that the principles or laws of physics that explain the physical world energy, Light, vibration, and motion have their corresponding principles in the etheric or universe “As above, so below”
Law of Cause and Effect – Nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws.. Every Action (including thought) has a reaction or consequence “We reap what we sow”
Law of Compensation– The Universal Law is the Law of Cause and effect applied to blessings and abundance that are provided for us. The visible effects of our deeds are given to us in gifts, money, inheritances, friendships and blessings.
Law of Attraction – Demonstrates how we create the things, events and people that come into our lives Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions produce energies, which, in turn attract like energies. Negative energies attract negative energies and positive energies attract positive energies.
The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy – All persons have within them the power to change the conditions of their lives. Higher vibrations consume and transform lower ones; thus, each of us can change the energies in our lives by understanding the Universal Laws and applying the principles in such a way as to effect change
Law of Relativity – Each person will receive as series of problems (Tests of Initiation/Lessons) for the purpose of strengthening the light within each of these tests/lessons to be a challenge and remain connected to our hearts when proceeding to solve the problems. This law also teaches us to compare our problems to others problem into its proper perspective. No matter how bad we perceive our situation to be, There is always someone who is in a worse position. It’s all relative.
Law of Polarity – Everything is on a continuum and has and opposite. We can suppress and transform undesirable thoughts by concentrating on the opposite pole. It is the law of mental vibrations.
Law of Rhythm – Everything vibrates and moves to certain rhythms.. These rhythms establish seasons, cycles, stages of development, and patterns. Each cycle reflects the regularity of God’s Universe. Masters know how to rise above negative parts of a cycle by never getting to excited or allowing negative things to penetrate their consciousness.
Law of Gender – The law of gender manifests in all things as masculine and feminine. It is this law that governs what we know as creation. The law of gender manifests in the animal kingdom as sex. This law decrees everything in nature is both male and female. Both are required for life to exist. (END OF QUIZ)
During the past 5 years as a ‘single fish’, many Relationships with others have been formed. Most have been ‘Healthy’ and some have been not. A ‘Healthy Relationship’ provides many more favorable results than an ‘Unhealthy Relationship’. In my Dream Fishbowl a ‘Healthy Relationship’ is defined with the four I’s. Each ‘I’ is identified as a Pillar that supports a ‘Healthy Relationship’. These four I’s include, Integrity, Intimacy, Insanity, and Infinite Wisdom.
Simply defined, Integrity is Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say, and Disagree Agreeably. Intimacy is sharing items of privacy such as thoughts in words and actions. Insanity or LOVE is Not Asking for Anything in Return. We do for others we choose with no expectations. The very least one should do, is not hurt anyone intentionally with one’s thoughts, words, and actions. Infinite Wisdom includes the Laws of the Universe. If one or more of the Pillars of a ‘Healthy Relationship is considered ‘Unhealthy’, this condition unless addressed, will eventually result in a collapse of the Relationship.
Marcus Aurelius, the Great Roman Emperor from 161-180 AD, left many words of Wisdom for future generations. Unlike today’s society that is governed by technology and bombarded by social media including the opinions of other with little facts and truths, Aurelius lived during simpler TIMES. This simplicity permitted him to Observe & Analyze LIFE. The Laws of the Universe opened the door for my ASS & 2 BRAINS to the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. His take on LIFE is ‘SIMPLE’.
#1. The only thing an ASS can control is what goes on inside its 2 BRAINS. The ASS has no control over outside forces, but only how the ASS & 2 BRAINS decides to react to them. Since LIFE is an ART, an ASS and 2 BRAINS can paint the canvas of their LIFE according to its thoughts and reactions.
Other sharers of Wisdom have also agreed with Aurelius. As with any ART, practice will be needed for the Game of LIFE. Trying to control one’s thoughts and reactions takes plenty of practice. When the situation occurs to test one’s practice, remember the acronym ‘FUDGE’. Personally, my ASS and 2 BRAINS swam with ‘FUDGE’ many TIMES after Nick physically passed.
F=FEELINGS
U=UPSET
D=DEPRESSION
G=GUILT
E=ENVY
No one person, event, or situation can affect the ‘FUDGE’ of your ASS & 2 BRAINS unless your ASS & 2 BRAINS gives it permission. Once permission is granted, only your ASS & 2 BRAINS can decided the length of the swim with ‘FUDGE’. In other words, ‘An ASS & 2 BRAINS is solely responsible for their LIFE’S ARTWORK.
#2. As with the opening ‘Morning Verse’, Aurelius viewed obstacles and problems in the same take. He claimed that every ASS has obstacles and problems in their LIFE. These problems and obstacles are created to entertain the ASS & 2 BRAINS. If an ASS had everything and every Dream turned into reality, the ASS & 2 BRAINS would die of ‘Boredom’. When the plate of Obstacles & Problems are cleaned, the Laws of the Universe will serve another helping.
#3. “Perhaps the most memorable passage of ‘Meditations’ encourages us to view life as being, in the words of the poet Rumi, “rigged in [our] favor.” It’s a powerful way of reframing any obstacle we encounter. Aurelius wrote:
True understanding is to see the events of life in this way: ‘You are here for my benefit, though rumor paints you otherwise.’ And everything is turned to one’s advantage when he greets a situation like this: You are the very thing I was looking for. Truly whatever arises in life is the right material to bring about your growth and the growth of those around you. This, in a word, is art—and this art called ‘life’ is a practice suitable to both men and gods. Everything contains some special purpose and a hidden blessing; what then could be strange or arduous when all life is here to greet you like an old and faithful friend?”
If one reviews closely the ‘Morning Verse’ and the ‘Wisdom of Aurelius’ the words ‘Grow & Growth’ are included in their message. Numerous ‘GREATS’ of the earth’s past also spoke of those two words. The moment that an ASS & 2 BRAINS stop growing and making progress is the moment the ‘Dirt Throwing’ will begin on that ASS & 2 BRAINS. It is our duty and responsibility to maintain ‘Homeostasis’ for our ASS & 2 BRAINS. Simply put, our ASS & 2 BRAINS should function at the level of design for our age, wants, needs, and desires.
Since all humans are in a Relationship with their ASS & 2 BRAINS, a human with its thoughts and actions can contribute to the Growth & Good Health of their ASS & 2 BRAINS. All one has to do is Attend, Nurture, and Cultivate their ASS & 2 BRAINS. Your entire body rebuilds or regrows itself in less than 2 years, 98% in less than 365 days. Every day is a new opportunity to start building and growing a better, healthier, new body. This is called ‘PRACTICE or ART’. Once an ASS & 2 BRAINS recognizes that their human body is worth over $6,000,000 in today’s society, swimming with ‘FUDGE’ will be lessened for it stifles ‘Growth’ & ‘Good Health’.
Relationships with others can be viewed by using the same principles. Prior to my door opening to the Laws of the Universe, my ASS & 2 BRAINS were constantly reminded that Relationships with others take work. My question for ‘Growth’ and ‘Good Health’ was, ‘If someone had a job/career or two, why would one want more work’?
As with LIFE, and our ASS & 2 BRAINS, Healthy Relationships with others will have to be Attended, Nurtured, and Cultivated for ‘Growth’ and ‘Good Health’. If not, the Relationship with others as with LIFE and our ASS & 2 BRAINS will become ‘UNHEALTHY’.
A replay is needed as my words move forward. “Think about it. If you had everything you wanted, if there were no challenges in your life, if you didn’t have any questions about why things are the way they are, and if you didn’t feel there was something for you to accomplish that is bigger than your abilities; what would you have to hope for? Nothing of course. You would already have everything”.
When my Facebook page was created 4 years ago, the intent was to accept a challenge to set-up a Facebook Community Page. The original Mission Statement included items of; Recognizing and Honoring the Past, Present, and Future members of the Ye Olde Henderson, NV Baseball Community. To be a Driving Force to help bring a High School State Baseball Title back to Ye Olde Henderson, NV. Encourage others to be a ‘Difference Maker’. And When in Doubt, ‘Remember to TAKE 5’.
This Mission Statement created many Relationships for my ASS & 2 BRAINS. Many of these Relationships have been described in previous writings on this Facebook page and my website. For you loyal readers, my Mission Statement did produce the results as written. The Nick Feher ‘TAKE 5’ Foundation did Recognize & Honor the Past, Present and Future members of the Ye Olde Henderson, NV Baseball Community. A State High School Baseball Title returned to Ye Olde Henderson, NV in 2016. Others were always encouraged to be a ‘Difference Maker’ and to Remember to ‘TAKE 5’.
What was perceived as ‘Healthy Relationships’ at that TIME with others in the Henderson Community, eventually fermented into ‘Unhealthy Relationships’. The opening ‘Morning Verse’ includes the words, “We live in a world with fallen people”. My ‘Unhealthy Relationships’ with these ‘fallen people’ had one common theme. These ‘fallen people’ did not practice ‘INTEGRITY’ at all TIMES when dealing with the Nick Feher ‘TAKE 5’ Foundation, which resulted in an ‘Unhealthy Relationship’.
These ‘Unhealthy Relationships’ produced as Marcus Aurelius described a ‘special purpose’ and ‘hidden blessings’ for the Nick Feher ‘TAKE 5’ Foundation. Our record of accomplishment speaks for itself. Our INTEGRITY remains intact. We said what we meant and meant what we said. We also chose to disagree agreeably. These ‘Unhealthy Relationships’ provided the Inspiration to create a New ‘TAKE 5’ Mission Statement.
This New Mission Statement revolved around DREAMS. Our Mission was and still is ‘To Promote & Share the DREAMS of Others’, while at the same TIME, ‘Encouraging Others to Be a Difference Maker’ while remembering, when in doubt, to ‘TAKE 5’, and to teach others the ‘Importance of Protecting One’s DREAMS’. For if an ASS & 2 BRAINS does not protect their DREAMS, the ‘fallen people’ will either stomp on them or take them, leaving an ASS & 2 BRAINS DREAMLESS. With that said, it is now TIME for the next segment.
WOULD YOU PAY $30,000 FOR YOUR SON TO PLAY BASEBALL AT BASIC ACADEMY/HS IN HENDERSON, NV, A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT?
If you said yes, PLEASE STOP. Otherwise, please continue. With limited inside information to the operations of captain Scott Baker on the ‘Destroyer of Dreams’ the Basic Academy/HS, TIME has provided along with Laws of the Universe, plus ‘Healthy Relationships to obtain financial information about the Southern NV Blue Sox. Recently, without asking directly, more financial data about the ‘fees’ for paying players and families flew my way.
Previously, it was roughly estimated that to play high school baseball at Basic Academy/HS in Henderson, NV, ranged about $5,000 a season or a total of about $20,000 for 4 years. In some cases with additional individual instruction and the ‘hidden costs’ of traveling this range can be even higher. With no written disputes posted on our Facebook page, $20,000 seems realistic and undisputed. However, with this new ‘Fly-By’ info, the new total costs for playing baseball at Basic Academy has increased with the fees associated with ‘Summer Ball’.
The ‘Rule of Thumb’ in order to play high school baseball for the ‘Destroyer of Dreams’ a player and his family must commit and pay the fees for 3 different baseball seasons. These seasons include, Fall-Winter Baseball, The High School Season, and Summer Ball. Each season carries its own price tag. This ‘Fly-By’ indicated that the cost for playing Summer Ball for captain Scott Baker and the S NV Blue Sox was about $2,300. Individual instructions and costs for travel was extra. This fee of $2,300 was to assist with the cost of Summer League games.
During my ‘Quest for the Truth of My Insanity’, my ASS and 2 BRAINS discovered the ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’ that had infected the once proud ‘Battleship of Hope & Dreams’ turning it into the ‘Destroyer of Dreams’. I once penned the phrase, ‘There are no stupid people, people do stupid things. If a person continued to repeat the same stupid thing and got the same stupid results, the person would then be elevated to the status of an ‘Idiot’. Apparently, this ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’ has infected Summer Baseball on the Destroyer of Dreams.
Please permit the numbers to speak for themselves. Without KNOWING the exact number of baseball games for a Summer Baseball Season, 30 games will be used in my example. Feel free to plug in your number. $2,300 divided by 30=$76.66 per game. That means each player and family will pay approximately $77 a game or $11 per inning. With only 9/10 players needed per game, the 4-5 reserves pay a fee to sit and watch the game in high price seats from the bench. As a bonus, each family member receives unlimited passes to watch the games as part of the $77 fee per game.
When a player and family adds Summer Baseball to their fees to play high school baseball at Basic Academy/HS, the total costs for 4 years exceeds $30,000. If you are reading this and agree that this is an example of the ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’, then please continue. If not, PLEASE STOP!
As written previously, my position is not to question the rationale on the ‘whys’, parents do for their children. But as a Henderson Taxpayer and the Executive Director of the Nick Feher ‘TAKE 5’ Foundation, and the author of this page, my position is to question the perceived Discriminatory, Unethical, and Immoral operations of captain Scott Baker, and the S NV Blue Sox under the direction of Admiral Bustamante on the Destroyer of Dreams, the Basic Academy/HS.
It has been established, that according to the regulations of the CCSD, these operations are legal and permitted. However, there are no regulations in the CCSD, which supports that these operations are Non-Discriminatory, Ethical, and Moral.
My research for this story involved a visit to the Southern Nevada Blue Sox website. If one cares to visit, just type their name into Google and the results will lead one to its website. The website is loaded with information including all the past and present players of the S NV Blue Sox. One can witness for their ASS & 2 BRAINS the players and families who willingly contributed and paid fees to the ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’ to play high school baseball at Basic Academy/HS. (Next is a list of players & families that contributed to the ‘Muck of Stupidity’.
One can argue that these ‘Special Fees’ also contributed to the Discriminatory, Unethical, and Immoral Practices of Admiral Bustamante and captain Baker. Parents with sons on the roster can counter argue that they willingly contributed and paid fees to the ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’ to assist their son to PLAYIN in their DREAMS. But the question remains, ‘At what price’?
Once a ‘FEE’ has been set to play high school baseball at Basic Academy/HS, only those players and families that can afford the ‘FEE’ are deemed ‘Worthy’. If a family and player cannot afford the ‘FEE’, they are deemed ‘Unworthy’ with no recourse. In other words, these ‘Unworthy’ are PURGED from the opportunity to pursue their DREAMS of playing high school baseball at Basic Academy/HS in Henderson, NV. The object of playing interscholastic sports at a high school level is to provide an equal opportunity for all participants to try-out and earn a spot on the team regardless of race, color, creed, family income, and other considerations. If this is true, then why is this equal opportunity not provided for all baseball players and families in the Basic Academy/HS zone?
One of the selling points when setting up the ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’ with the operations of captain Scott Baker and the S NV Blue Sox was ‘The Chance to Earn a College Baseball Scholarship’. On their website, the alumni of the SNVBS that played or are currently playing college baseball is listed. To the untrained, uneducated, naked eye, the list looks impressive, especially if a parent was not well versed in college baseball scholarships. Unless an untrained parent asks another parent whose son’s name appears on the alumni college page, and receives a ‘Truthful Response’ for the exact amount of the ‘Earned Baseball Scholarship’ one would not ever KNOW the worth of the college baseball scholarship or if one was earned. Next is a list of SNVBS in college.
The SNVBS college alumni baseball page is loaded with ambiguities. The following is intended to clean up the ambiguities. Collegescholarships.org writes;
Types of Baseball Scholarships
“Like all college athletics, baseball is regulated by the three national collegiate sports associations. The NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA set the rules by which baseball can be played at the college level. They also regulate the number of scholarships that colleges can offer as recruitment incentives for potential players. Unlike football and basketball, however, baseball is an equivalency sport. This gives coaches a bit more leeway in how they award scholarships, and often coaches will divide their allotted full tuition scholarships into a greater number of partial tuition awards. In this way they can attract a greater number of top players to their teams.
Full and partial scholarships are the norm for baseball players at the college level, and they can be hard to win. That being said, high school baseball players who want to play on a college team should also consider walk-on scholarships. These are in essence general academic scholarships that can get the student to the college they desire, where they can then try out for the team. Many well-known professional ball players used walk-on scholarships to make their name in college baseball.
NCAA Division I
There are 297 colleges and universities participating in NCAA Division I baseball. Each school is allotted 11.7 full ride scholarships for its team. Because baseball is a designated equivalency sport, coaches are able to divide their 11 + scholarships into awards for up to 30 players. NCAA Division I baseball attracts only the very best, and it is not unusual for players to be pinched by the big leagues before they enter college. Consequently, students hoping to win a baseball scholarship to an NCAA college or university may be subject to last minute award notifications.
NCAA Division II
There are 242 schools participating in NCAA Division II baseball. Each school is allotted 9 full tuition scholarships per team for up to 30 players per team. Partial tuition scholarships are common in Division II, as they allow coaches more flexibility in building a full roster.
NCAA Division III
NCAA Division III baseball consists of 408 programs at colleges and universities across the country. Division III schools are restricted from offering any baseball scholarships as a recruiting incentive. However, general athletic grants and academic scholarships may be offered by some schools as a way of bringing talented players to their campuses. In essence, these are walk-on scholarships and students will have to try out for the baseball team after they have been admitted to the college.
NAIA Baseball
NAIA baseball consists of 214 member schools across the country. Each school is restricted to 12 full ride scholarships for its baseball program and up to a 30 player roster. These may be full or partial scholarships, administered as the coaching team sees fit. Students with strong academic backgrounds, who also excel on the baseball field, may qualify for a general grant or scholarship, which will not count against the school’s 12 scholarship limit. Again, these are in essence walk-on scholarships and students will have to try out for the baseball team after they have been accepted to the college in question.
NJCAA Division I
NJCAA Division I baseball consists of 188 teams from junior colleges across the country. Each school is limited to 24 full ride scholarships to cover all expenses including tuition, books, registration fees and housing. (Schools do not have to fund all 24 scholarships.) Partial scholarships are not allowed.
NJCAA Division II
NJCAA Division II baseball includes 130 two-year colleges around the country. Each school is limited to 24 baseball scholarships. These scholarships can only cover tuition, and cannot extend to housing or other expenses. Partial scholarships are not available.
NJCAA Division III
NJCAA Division III consists of 79 junior colleges. NJCAA Division III schools are restricted from offering any athletic scholarships as a recruiting incentive. While Division III schools may not offer baseball scholarships, they can offer general scholarships and grants for students who excel in the classroom as well as the ball field”.

“College baseball scholarships are a sore subject for most college baseball players and their parents. That is because baseball scholarships are completely different than football and basketball. You see, all NCAA Division 1 football and basketball players that are on scholarship (there are a few walk-ons) receive a full scholarship. No questions asked. Full tuition paid, all fees paid, all books bought and free room and board.
A NCAA Division 1 baseball team receives 11.7 scholarships to be split between 27+ different players. I have talked with three different recruiting coaches from the Big 12 Conference. All three said that no player on their team received a 100% scholarship. In fact, the highest percentage on each team was 70%. The minimum scholarship a baseball player can receive is 25%. The 25% minimum is a recent change. Previously the coach could award any player between 1% and 100%.
Things even get a little worse at the Division II level. There are approximately 250 Division II level colleges and each one is allowed 9 scholarships for their baseball teams. These scholarships can be split up in any manner. However, many of these colleges do not use or fund all 9 scholarships. Six scholarships for baseball are pretty typical for Division II schools.
And Division III level colleges are allowed to only issue academic scholarships.
NJCAA allows 24 scholarships for their Division I and II levels. Division I junior colleges can offer full scholarships: full tuition, fees, books and room and board. Division II junior colleges can only offer: full tuition, fees and books. Division III junior colleges cannot offer athletic scholarships.
NAIA colleges are allowed 12 scholarships, but again, not all colleges fund all 12 scholarships.
And very few, if any, baseball players get full rides.
Here comes the tricky part of college baseball scholarships, trying to figure out what was just offered. A college might offer a 50% scholarship. But 50% of what? Are they offering half of the total college package (tuition, fees, books and room and board) or just half of the tuition?
There is a big difference between the two in cost. Probably the safest approach to finding out what you have been offered is to have everything broken down to cash. If a coach offers a 40% scholarship, ask how much is the total cost for everything (including room and board) to attend this college, and how much in cost value are you offering. Be sure to ask nicely.
The coaches will know the answers, but they may try to steer you away from this question.
Stick to your guns until you find out”.
Michelle Kretzschmar from http://www.diycollegerankings.com/11-7-reality-check/475/ writes;
“At the end of my son’s last high school summer baseball season, I was struck by the number of players who had graduated and didn’t know yet where they were going to attend college. I heard a lot of talk from parents about “maybe walking on” to various teams and see what happens. These were good players, the majority better than my son who did know where he was going.
I got the feeling that many of them thought that their sons would, at the very least, already be committed to a team, if not holding an actual scholarship. Given the teams they were talking about walking on to, it was obvious that they had spent the last four years watching their sons play baseball without ever really understanding the realities of college baseball scholarships. The fact that it was the summer after their senior year indicated that they weren’t necessarily up to speed on college application and financial aid deadlines either.
So if your son is playing high school baseball, even if he is only a freshman, it’s time for a reality check. The odds are that your son IS NOT going to get a full ride to college playing baseball.
Here’s why. 11.7
11.7 is the maximum number of scholarships that NCAA Division 1 baseball teams can give to its players. That’s not per year, that’s per team for all players. Most D1 teams carry more pitchers than the number of scholarships they can award. To make the money go further, many coaches award partial scholarships. Depending on the school, this can still leave you on the hook for a hefty chunk of the tuition bill (thus the need to know financial aid deadlines). So if you’re investing money in lessons and select/travel ball in the hopes of a full college baseball scholarship, then you’re making a poor investment decision”. (END of QUOTES)
Hopefully, that cleared up the ambiguities found on the SNVBS alumni college page. One added point to consider. If a Basic Academy/HS baseball player chooses a college outside the state of Nevada, in most cases, there will be an additional out-of-state fee for tuition. Usually this fee can be waved after a state residency is established, which means year round housing costs. So what do you think? Is it a Healthy or an Unhealthy investment decision for a family to spend $30,000 or more for their son to play baseball at Basic Academy/HS in Henderson, NV? This is what I KNOW. Let the numbers speak for themselves.
For it to be considered a ‘Healthy Investment’, then the cost of the college scholarship to play baseball has to either be equal to or greater than the investment of $30,000 to the ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’. If the cost of the college baseball scholarship is less than $30,000, then the investment to the ‘Magical Muck of Stupidity’ would be an ‘Unhealthy Investment’. With $30,000 or more to invest in their son’s college education only an ‘IDIOT’ would not consult with an Investment Advisor, before making a $30,000 investment to Scott Baker and the Southern NV Blue Sox.
ADMIRAL BUSTAMANTE OF THE DESTROYER OF DREAMS RESPONDS TO MY REQUEST FOR PUBLIC DOCUMENTS
In my last DNL #10, it was written that Admiral Bustamante was in violation of the Nevada Public Record Act NRS 239 for not responding to my requests for certain public records stored in his office. As in tune with the Laws of the Universe, the day DNL #10 was posted, an email from an unknown entity landed in my mailbox. The email headline read something about the request for public documents. According to the Nevada Law, one could argue that this reply did not meet the standards of the Law so the email was not opened and was not read. It was classified as a ‘Moot Point’.
It was stated in DNL #10, that out of courtesy, another letter with a request for certain public documents would be mailed by my ASS & 2 BRAINS to Admiral Bustamante. Since my previous request for public documents were included in personal letters to Admiral Bustamante, research for form letters requesting public documents on the internet was conducted. With Integrity & Honor as my writing companions the following letter and Request for Public Documents was delivered by UPS to Basic Academy and signed for. (Editor’s Note; A letter was also mailed by USPS the same day to the supervisor of the local USPS in regards to my lost packages that my ASS paid to have it delivered in 2 failed attempts to Admiral Bustamante. As of this writing, no response from the local USPS supervisor.)

WITHIN 5 WORKING DAYS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR ADMIRAL BUSTAMANTE SENT ANOTHER EMAIL MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEVADA LAW.
This is where my ASS & 2 BRAINS stand. Please read again my letter. My email address was purposely not included. Since my email address was not included, then why was not a mailed letter sent to my mailing address? With an email from an unknown representative in my mailbox, the Nevada Law does not state a TIME limit for one to reply to a response from a public entity that received a request for the release of public documents. With that said, a Road Not Taken has opened with a ‘Fork’.
My ASS & 2 BRAINS can ‘Open the email from the representative for Admiral Bustamante to examine the content for this Dream Newsletter #11’ or ‘It can remain unopened and unread until TIME and the Laws of the Universe dictate’.
During ‘My Quest for the Truth of My Insanity’, the Laws of the Universe gently coaxes one to LIVE in Simpler TIMES and to experience LIFE as an ‘Olde & Faithful Friend’. Call it ‘Old School’ or whatever one chooses, ‘It is for best results, that when problems and obstacles fill one’s plate, one should first find solutions for the most pressing problems and obstacles. Once the most pressing problems and obstacles are removed from one’s plate, then TIME will say when to tackle the other problems and obstacles that remain on the plate. Currently in my LIFE, more PURGING for renovations and other chores for the Dream Fishbowl is the priority.
As one reviews my Request for Public Documents, requests for certain items out of the jurisdiction of the Basic Academy/HS and the CCSD will not be filled. However, Item #2 is within the jurisdiction of Basic Academy/HS and the CCSD and according to Nevada Law must be available for viewing and to make a copy. When TIME dictates, the email from Admiral Bustamante’s representative will be opened, Observed & Analyzed.
After my ASS & 2 BRAINS experiences a KNOWING, INFINITE WISDOM will tell me what to do. Hopefully, a story for DNL #12 will be a result, especially if my ASS & 2 BRAINS can compare Item #2 with the current and past roster of the SNVBS that is in my possession. When the rosters are compared, ‘How many ‘Unworthy Baseball Players’ do you think made the Basic Academy/HS Official Baseball Roster during the reign of captain Scott Baker on the Destroyer of Dreams?
Please grant my story to run its course. With the finish line approaching, it is TIME to once again to express my GRATITUDE to my Pen-Pals. If you are a loyal follower of this page, my Pen-Pals have been written about before. Also, one of them has been featured in numerous videos on my Facebook page and this website.
Until a better answer can be found, the Laws of the Universe were responsible for the formulation of our Relationship. After Observing and Analyzing this Relationship, my ASS & 2 BRAINS had a KNOWING, which resulted in naming our Relationship. The name reflects the initial meeting of each Pen-Pal. It is called the ‘Bizarre Epiphanic, Phenomenal Vampyric, Relationship’.
Each Pen-Pal answers to multiple names, including ones that I coined for them. Our Relationship is based on ‘TIME Well-Spent with Others, with No Guarantees’ and the 4 Pillars of Integrity, Intimacy, Insanity, and Infinite Wisdom. Plus, the Relationship is Attended, Nurtured, and Cultivated. After being ‘Stunned’ with a ‘Spell’, each granted my ASS & 2 Brains entrance into their LIVES. When my Integrity & Honor passed their ‘TEST’, more privileges were sent my directions. One of the ‘Privileges’ was permission to ‘Explore the Depths of their Truth, Beauty, Power, Passion, and Erogenous Zones.
Dgirl
It has been through a series of writings and ARTWORK that the ‘Explorations’ has manifested and continues to this day. Permit my ASS & 2 BRAINS to briefly explain this ‘Bizarre Epiphanic, Phenomenal Vampyric Relationship’. It begin Mid-November of 2013 with a SMILE, Handshake and Eye Piercing Gaze from a female named Dgirl that resulted in my ASS & 2 BRAINS being ‘Stunned’ with a ‘Bizarre Epiphanic Spell’. A few of her other names include; Blonde Dgirl, God is My Judge, Compassion, Angel Compassion, Vixen Angel Compassion, D, Queen Voodoo Vixen or QVV. Email addresses were exchanged, which led to a series of writings that continued for over two years with a few small breaks. LIFE was the main topic along with ‘Explorations’.
As a gesture for our Relationship, my GRATITUDE was extended by a ‘Ticket’ to the Grand Opening of the T-Mobile Arena back in April of 2016. Though Dgirl accepted my invitation to meet my ASS & 2 BRAINS at Stoneys, she departed without the ‘Ticket’. The Laws of the Universe declared the ‘Ticket’ would remain unused and my Pilgrimage to the T-Mobile Grand Opening would be a solo affair. It was during this Pilgrimage that the 1st Sighting of a Female Cellist unfolded. Her ‘PASSION’ grabbed my attention.
After Observing & Analyzing this 13 piece Orchestra as they played on the outside stage, Forces provided the opportunity to exchange info with the Leader. When told they were local, and where to find them, their ‘Magical Sounds’ became a steady diet during the spring & summer months. This diet also included the female Cellist whose name was Sarah. She too, goes by other names such as, Batgirl, Fabled Cello of the American West, Cellobat, Passion, Angel Passion, Vixen Angel Passion, S, Vampyre Sonata, Queen Vampyre Sonata, or QVS. The Orchestra Inspired my ASS & 2 BRAINS to construct my 1st Musical-Story on my website titled ‘David Perrico & His Minstrels’.
It was during the ‘Night of Sting’ at Cabaret Jazz in late September of 2016 with another ‘Unused Ticket’ compliments of QVV. While the show played on, another KNOWING appeared. As a steady ‘Disciple’ of the Minstrels, the only Musician on stage that my ASS & 2 BRAINS had not formally met was Batgirl. If Forces agreed, perhaps a ‘Meet & Greet’ could be arranged after the show. The Laws of the Universe shined on my thoughts. For after the show, a ‘Meet & Greet’ was arranged. In a blink of an eye, with a SMILE and Piercing Eyes, plus a ‘Cello Handshake’, Batgirl performed a ‘Stun’ and cast a ‘Phenomenal Vampyric Spell’ on my ASS & 2 BRAINS.
A few months later, QVS granted my request to write to her from Texas during my 2016 College Football Pilgrimage. One writing lead to another. Dgirl also remained my Pen-Pal as Intimacy was shared with her concerning the ‘Adventures with Batgirl’. My separate writings to both increased in frequency during the first quarter of 2017. Since Dgirl knew about Batgirl, the Laws of the Universe dictated to level the ‘Playin Field’. My 1st novel was completed in May of 2017. It was a story of our ‘Bizarre Epiphanic, Phenomenal Vampyric Relationship’. QVV received the first draft and after reading it, with her permission, a copy was emailed to QVS.
Signs then indicated that Batgirl also approved my 1st Novel that included a different ending. From that moment, instead of writing 2 similar/different letters to each Pen-Pal, the same writings were addressed to both and sent simultaneously to both of them via email, which continues through this day. Results and Growth are by-products of this ‘Bizarre Epiphanic, Phenomenal Vampyric Relationship’. Dgirl is the only person on this planet that has read my entire collection of stories on this Facebook page and my website plus all of my writings that were personally emailed to her. Though Batgirl, was a late arrival, she too has read a large part of my writings that are publicly available, plus personal writings to her. In addition, all personal writings to each of them starting with my 2016 College Football Pilgrimage, have been exchanged between both of them.
Their INSANITY for my writings have been displayed in various ways. Public proof exists on Google Image Pages. To access Google Image Pages, just open up Google and click on Images in top right corner. For my website, Google Images are always used for accents, plus a few may also be included in our Facebook Albums. It was during the writing of my 1st novel that my ASS & 2 BRAINS were introduced to my Google Image pages. There are numerous ways for an image to appear on the page. Google with their tracking can snag an image off the internet that could be related for that specific image page and download it onto the page with or without an expiration date for removal. If one is adept at coding, that too is an option, which my ASS & 2 BRAINS are not adept. If your TIME permits, for verification, open up a Google page and click the word Images.
Just type playinyourdreams.com in the box on Google Images and witness for yourself their creation. Along with Google, Both of Them have taken the TIME to download and code images from my website to be posted on my Google Image pages. As your mouse scrolls over the images, it will identify if the image is from my website or not for sometimes junk from Google is added. If one clicks on the image, another box will open and with another click on the visit box, it will lead to my story.
Dgirl and Batgirl also have their own Google Image pages. Dgirl enjoys sharing her DREAMS with ideas and thoughts through words and images. Batgirl also enjoys displaying on her Google Image Page or GIP her DREAMS with words and images. Occasionally, Images from playinyourdreams.com will appear also on their GIPS. A few Images actually connect to all 3 GIPS. During visits to each GIP, I always thank God for their creations especially when a new encrypted Image message appears.
It was during my 2017 College Football Pilgrimage while visiting the GIPS, that Inspiration made a visit. To show my GRATITUDE for their TIME and messages, ARTWORK was created and emailed to both of them. ARTWORK should be ‘Original’. Though a computer generated program could have created my ARTWORK, it would not be ‘Original’, only computer generated. Over TIME, our Relationship through Intimacy revealed ‘common interests and likes’. On my website, many photos and images are incorporated in my stories for a ‘Story Picture Book’ effect. With plenty of personal images granted by Dgirl & Batgirl, ARTWORK could be created.
Since my computer skills are not advanced, ‘Old School Technology’ with the use of ‘Helen’ my Canon Power Shot A1200 camera would be used to generate the ARTWORK. It is one thing to send another an image via cellphone text or email. However, when one sends Personal ARTWORK, it adds value because of the personal touch.
As the story ends, Remember to PROMOTE, and SHARE the DREAMS of others including YOUR OWN. Teach others, including your ASS & 2 BRAINS, to PROTECT your DREAMS and ‘When in Doubt, Remember to ‘TAKE 5’. Thank you for your valuable TIME and feel free to drop us a line at playinyourdreams51@gmail.com
