Ask What You Desire, and It Shall Be Done For You
As the music was blaring she whispered loudly into my ear, "That guy is 40 years old." Her whisper echoed in my mind as I watched him dancing from afar. I thought to myself, I sure hope that I'm not like that guy when I turn 40.
When I was in high school, I started reading lots of books. I was a total bookworm. During lunch, I would go where no one could find me and read. One of my favorite authors of that time was Charles Bukowski. At the age of 16, I had never really drank much alcohol, and I had an extremely smooth complexion. However, after a year or so of reading most of Bukowski's prose and poetry, not only did I develop an addiction to alcoholic beverages, but I had also developed a terrible case of acne vulgaris. I had enjoyed reading about Bukowski's life as an alcoholic with bad acne, I thought that it was funny. Little did I realize that the pen is certainly mightier than the sword. What I was reading slowly became my own life. It was not voluntary, it just happened. Doctors read about medicine for years, lawyers read about the law. What we read becomes our lifestyle. It has been said that "Great readers become great leaders." This is why I read the Bible every single day. I ingest the Word of God. It takes me to the secret place of the Most High. It transforms my life as I abide in His Words. I believe. I am a believer. I am more than a conqueror. I can do greater things than Him. I live to glorify God. Read your Bible! Start today!

Bumfuzzle: Black Coffee in Styrofoam Cup Makes My Face Itchy
After a yearlong hiatus, I have started drinking coffee again, and I don't know how I made it through 2013 without the world's favorite caffeinated beverage. Coffee calms me down and relaxes me and fills me with joy. It makes my eyeballs big and my face itchy. It really is good for me. Even though I had my gall bladder taken out last month, I thank God that He is letting me drink coffee again. Black coffee in Styrofoam cup. IT just doesn't work for me in a mug. It has to be in Styrofoam. I went to the dollar store and bought a huge pack of Styrofoam cups. Try it some time. There is something in the Styrofoam that gives you more bang for your buck. That is all that I can say about that.
Speaking of coffee...I am trying to do this Jerry Seinfeld inspired Christian TV show. Christians getting wired on coffee and sharing the Gospel with strangers in public places. We already have three episodes where I ordered a 5 pound bag of David Lynch Organic Coffee from Amazon and weird things happened that day as we documented our Crusade. Tim got it all on video: I heal the sick, raise the dead, and help homeless people admit that they are slaves of a Satanic Overlord, but it is not their fault. David Lynch Coffee is really good!
Also, we are still trying to come up with a title for this Christian Evangelic Coffee Experience TV Show. My friend Grace wants to call it: CHRISTIANS ON SPEED! That title would probably attract lots of viewers, but it may give the wrong impression. We are on the speed of the Holy Spirit! He gives us a New Life, and that fills us with a Supernatural Energy. You can have it too, in the mighty Name of Jesus! It is combat, there is a war going on right now. It has nothing to do with Duck Dynasty and homophobic comments. Stop being so sensitive. I am a soldier!

Cold Shower/ New Life
For about 2 years (after getting evicted from the White House), I was living with my girlfriend (now wife) in a small efficiency in Richmond Heights. There was mold on the walls, roaches, we shared the kitchen and bathroom with an old woman who spoke no English, it was just a little room. But the fact that it was only $300 a month made us acclimate ourselves.
The last 6 months that we lived there, the hot water heater was "broken". At first, I was quite upset with the landlord. But after a week of taking only cold showers, I noticed a change in my emotions. I didn't feel depressed, I was full of energy and joy. I began to really appreciate the jolt of my nightly cold shower. Taking a shower became a fun experience. I even began to sleep better.
A month or so later, I went to Orlando to visit family. I started telling them about these cold shower epiphanies. "That's really strange," said my brother Nick. It turns out that our multi-millionaire cousin Brian, who owns two very successful restaurants in Orlando had no hot water in his mansion!
Brian (whose net worth is $3.5 million) explained that he also takes cold showers because they are quick and he doesn't have time for a long shower, because he is so busy. Also, it helps his mind stay alert and focused on making money. This was great for me to hear.
Pastor Clean says, "Take cold showers every day!" Hallelujah!

How To Quit Smoking in 12 Days
Smoking cigarettes is a bad habit. These days, I'm all about breaking BAD habits and making GOOD habits. So here is the Handelsman System of quitting cigarettes in less than12 days. This system works if you do it, I promise. It totally works.
First, stop buying cigarettes. Tell yourself that you are now on the Handelsman System and that you are going to slay this Dragon. There are only 2 things that cigarettes do: they steal your money and they kill you. You can do this!
Start this Monday. For the next week, when you feel the urge to smoke, ask a cigarette smoking stranger if you can "bum a square" or "get a smoke", or even "may I please have a cigarette?" Don't buy a pack, smoke whatever brand they give you. Start realizing how disgusting this habit is. Start cutting down.
After the first week, you are no longer allowed to ask strangers for cigarettes. The only cigarettes that you are allowed to smoke are those that you find: on the ground, in ashtrays, in the backseat of people's cars, etc.
When I was implementing this system on myself about 8 years ago, I would be surprised at how many unlit cigarettes I would find in the big ashtrays on top of the garbage cans in front of Publix, or in the ones outside of Pollo Tropical. A number of times, I would find cigarettes with lipstick still on the filter and light em up! Gross, I know, but that is what happens when you are addicted to something that causes cancer and depression, among other things.
By your fourth or fifth "found" cig, you will be so disgusted by the taste alone, that you will never smoke another cigarette again. Hallelujah!
Now you will begin to develop good habits, such as: eating healthy foods, drinking lots of water, getting plenty of sleep, reading your Bible on a daily basis, getting to know the Lord, and attending a good church.
I am so proud of you! You have slayed the Dragon. Good job, I knew you could do it.

In Dreams, I Walk With You
A number of Supernatural experiences took place at church on Sunday (today). Here is one of them, it is the truth.
I'm walking down the hallway after the service and this young 10 year old African-American girl points her finger at me and says really loudly, "You!"
She continues, "You're the man that's been in my dreams!" There are people of all ages around, and I'm totally feeling awkward in a very surreal way.
"I'm sorry?" I answer.
The girl continues, "In my dreams, You're walking around the park and you look at me....the park is surrounded by a black gate."
"Is it a scary dream?" I ask, "what am I doing? Um..."
Eventually this girls mother comes out with her 4 siblings and they all know about these dreams of hers that I've been in. The mom tells me that her daughter has been having these dreams for months- about some strange man, and that strange man is me! I had never met these people before in my life. It was really weird.
When I asked the young lady who was having these dreams with me in them her name, she said, "Azariah." She spelled it out for me. I was totally dumbfounded at this point. I explained that when I was a person of the street, I was known as "Azar," which added even more weird to the situation. I asked the mom where she got that name from.
The girl's mom started telling us that the name Azar is from a science fiction comic book. This was such a strange experience, I'm still trying to find meaning in it. Does anyone have any idea why this girl is having these dreams?

Jerry Seinfeld Hologram and Other Hollywood Special Effects
Like Andy Kaufman?. I was once given free tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld because I was supposed to write a review of the performance, so I took my ex-gf (she was my gf at the time, of course, but now we'll just refer to her as "ex-gf"). We had front row seats and were quite high from smoking a blunt in the car. I was convinced that Jerry Seinfeld was not actually on the stage. I was telling people that it was a hologram. I could practically see through him. "He is a billionaire," I whispered, "he doesn't tour. That is not really Jerry Seinfeld. Look at that. It is a hologram! He looks like a character in the movie Tron." People were "shushing" me. My ex-gf thought that it was because we were high, and that I had come up with another conspiracy theory, but she knew that what I was saying was true. A few months later, my "conspiracy theory" was given some confirmation when Tupac Shakur appeared onstage at a concert as a hologram. Jerry Seinfeld, the news is out! You may have fooled many people, but not me!
Back to the prophecy. I was impressed with this "evangelical stand up comedian" vision. I didn't tell him about Pastor Clean. In fact, I don't really talk about Pastor Clean with anybody. Pastor Clean is not at that point yet. I am still trying to figure out the mission at hand and where it is going. It has been less than a week since I started this website. I am at it again. I am trying to completely break away from my past and focus on great things that God has in store for me. I have total faith that I am doing this for a real purpose.
Somebody out there is going to plant a $1,000,000 seed to this website today.
