You Act Like You Belong And People Don't Ask Questions

My father used to say, and he probably still says it, though he hasn't said it in a while, "act like you belong, act confident, and you can get away and do a lot."

What he was referring to was when he was younger and would sneak into hockey games. He would go from work obviously dressed in business professional attire and he often didn't have a ticket to the hockey games, but he acted confident... and he just walked into the games without anybody questioning him. He acted like he belonged and nobody even bat an eyelid because he thought he was just a part of the team. So, they thought he had good intentions.

Obviously September 11th and security changed a lot of this. Now they obviously vet you more thoroughly and it's probably a lot harder to sneak into hockey games nowadays.

He also mentioned John Spano buying the New York Islanders. He was a con artist who bought the New York Islanders without any assets. You just act confident, you shake all the right hands. you smile and you lie to people's faces. People just assume there's nothing fishy going on even though there are major red flags.

Now in hindsight, I think he was also referring to me and what was happening to me. The running from 2005 to 2011, the mega regimen of psychiatric medications, the social media content, the fact that I had no family in my life, no friends, no romance, no life.

Somebody should have said, "What is going on here? Like, why isn't there an investigation going on? Why aren't people asking questions?"

And the answer is you act confident. You can you can really get away with torture, and sexual sadism, and bad intentions if you just act calm, cool, collected, smile and say, "Oh no, nothing wrong is going on here."

And just like Over the Edge 1999 where Owen Hart plunged to his death. I mean, could something fishy be going on there? The evidence is it's a negligent accident in the ring, but could it really be murder and everybody's been lied to?
