Singing the Process Server Blues!

Yesterday was a very interesting terrifying day in so many ways I thought I'd share it. First, I'd like to say that I don't intend on being a process server for much longer. I envisioned serving legal documents in my local area to businesses for law firms. Thus far I've had individuals contact me from far away to serve at places I really don't want to find myself in.

Behind Bars on Friday Morning at the SF County Jail!

For instance, yesterday morning I was at the SF County jail waiting for a officer to deliver papers and get a signature from someone behind bars! The waiting area I was in made me feel I was behind bars. I waited 10 minutes behind the waiting area's bars to deliver papers. I don't care what anyone says, is it worth $40 to find one's self standing in a cage at the SF Jail on a Friday morning? I don't think so.

Even when you're searching for an independent life style working for yourself, our system still manages to find ways to make you feel imprisoned in ways I never would have imagined. -Cheryl Meril

Suddenly I'm Whisked onto the 101 Freeway Against My Will

The other example of my day yesterday is I had to serve divorce papers to a teacher at Mission High School in San Francisco. I was told he was never home and it would be best to find him at school. I called administration and confirmed he was there, then hopped in a Zip Car to deliver the papers. It should have been easy to drive there, but Google Maps didn't indicate the route it advised would inadvertently place me on the on ramp to the 101 freeway to San Jose! Suddenly I'm whisked onto the freeway when I was intending on turning right on 16th Street per the directions. There was an on-ramp that came out of nowhere I was forced onto and the terror began!

For those who may be following this blog, it should be clear by now, I'm terrified of driving on the freeways so I don't. I was also under pressure because I had to complete my task of serving papers in one hour or face a $50 fee for returning the Zip Car late. If you are as much as 5 minutes late, Zip tacks on a serious fee that would have caused me to suffer a loss on the serve. When I ended up on the freeway, I was so terrified because I don't like high speeds I get vertigo from. My hands often go numb and I become panicked being on the freeway. I fear I could pass out under certain circumstances such as being on a bridge where there's no exit or means to pull off the road.

Back to High School - Barely Got Out With My Head

Anyway, I was fortunate after having been on the freeway for 5 minutes there was a turnoff that led me back to where I needed to be. It took an extra 15 minutes but I got there, not realizing I parked blocking someone's driveway. I then ran up to the school not being able to find the entrance after trying several doors. When I arrived, I asked the administrator to summon the teacher who came down in about 10 minutes to get the papers. He was very upset and called me into a private area to say "are you serving me?" I told him yes. He looked like he wanted to rip my head off but restrained himself and walked away.

As I had waited for the teacher, I looked around the hallway at Mission High School a bit and was appalled to say the least. What's happened to the public schools? Awfully nice building and grounds though. I wouldn't have wanted my kids attending that school that looked pretty scary to be in had I had any. Let's put it this way, it wasn't any "Pleasantville" school campus one would have observed during other generations. It looked very scary primarily because there was no overall behavioral discipline evident among the students I could observe.

At Least I Didn't Get a Parking Ticket

I finally got back to the car and realized I was fortunate not to have received a ticket for parking illegally. I had blocked an apartment building driveway without realizing it! I ended up getting the Zip Car back with one minute to spare. Had I received a parking ticket I would have taken a huge loss of $150 because Zip Car also penalizes you for getting a parking ticket on one of their vehicles.

So, I don't think this is the kind of work I'd like to do on a regular basis. I'd prefer to pick and choose what kind of process of services I wish to perform for customers I work on legal forms for in the future. I don't want to be predisposed to these environments and angry people again.

I'm Sorry (i.e., Please Don't Kill Me!)

I've actually apologized to certain people I've served devastating lawsuits to. One said "you don't need to apologize, it's your job." The truth is, not really. It's kind of, sort of my job but I don't have to do this work if I don't want to. I thought it might be interesting work. It's turning out that I don't like what I'm being exposed to lately.

Another example is a couple I had to serve papers to a few months ago in a condo in the outskirts of San Francisco refused to cooperate. This means I had to eventually serve the grounds' security guard who also didn't want to accept the papers so I placed them in his windshield wipers. It was extremely cold and windy near the water and I was on foot so it was a strange eerie experience to have to go there several times only for them to tell me on the intercom they didn't want to receive the documents. The first time I delivered papers to the man, but the wife was a real problem to serve. The intercom voice responded "she's away for a month in Tahiti". Uh huh. . .

A Good Young Person's Job

Some people make a lot of money process serving. It can be a lucrative business with very little investment. This may have been something I would have prospered from in my 20's or 30's. This is the kind of work younger people need to get into to have their own independence. I don't understand why more young people don't get into it.

Second Wave of Mortgage Defaults Coming in 2010

Quoting End of the American Dream blog:

"The housing crash of 2008/2009 was one of the biggest financial disasters in American history. Approximately 6 million homes have been foreclosed on by lenders in just the last three years alone as millions of American families watched their hopes for achieving the American Dream go up in smoke. Since early 2008, approximately 60 million U.S. homes have lost a combined 5 trillion dollars in value."

The Massive Second Wave of Mortgage Defaults is Coming is a scary read. The second wave is set to start in 2010. These 60 Minutes program videos are from the first wave of defaults in late 2008. They provide info on what's to come as well. Then of course, there's the commercial real estate bubble that's in the process of bursting as well.

Deduct It Book Turns Knowledge Into Power

When I worked for law firms and did a lot of overtime it was duly noted the more I made the more Feds took from my paycheck. This coupled with high health costs deducted from my check, amounted to my working more hours for theoretically less money per hour. When you get bumped into a new tax bracket, what's the use of working the overtime? That's one of the big problems I had with Kirkland & Ellis LLP management's demands I had no choice but to accept any overtime requested of me. This was particularly painful considering my shift ended at 11:30 p.m. Overtime sometimes meant working into the early morning hours. It not only exhausted me, but made me resentful. I wanted to work smarter, not harder.

My other motivation for seeking alternative methods of income was I didn't agree with how the government was spending my taxes on unnecessary wars. I chose being a Notary Public because my fees are non-taxable. For each notarized signature, the money belongs to me, not the government.

I'm so glad I began my own businesses. I absolutely love deducting business expenses from my income. I'm thinking of purchasing transportation and deducting it. Under the new tax law you no longer have to amortize depreciation of capital expenses (i.e., cars, etc.). You can deduct them all in one year, but there's a limit of $250k. I'm thinking of getting one of those cute little SMART cars now and getting my company logo plastered on it. If it's all deductible, I have nothing to lose.

HAARP Debut Rocks World; Haiti, Chile, Japan, Venezuela and Counting

They're going to rock our world, and they mean it literally! The only problem is they're not a rock band but far from it. More people are beginning to realize the unnatural slew of large nation busting quakes is quite unusual.

"Recent large earthquakes in the first two months of 2010 and in Haiti, Argentina, Venezuela, Eureka, California, north of Chicago, Japan, and Chile, would seem to indicate a trend, and not a good one. Read more." SFGate

I've been around long enough to know the recent earthquakes are abnormal. I checked out what could possibly be causing unnatural recurring earthquakes, and something called HAARP came up. After much research, I'm convinced HAARP is committing tectonic terrorism on countries and is making itself known as such to governments such as Japan. This is a well done video explaining how HAARP works:






So whenever a nation steps out of line, they just send a powerful quake to shake them up a bit. No need for manpower or war.

From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction. Potentially, it constitutes an instrument of conquest capable of selectively destabilising agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions. - H.A.A.R.P. - Michel Chossudovsky

Especially angering the Americans were the Latin Americans move this past week during their annual Rio Group summit in Mexico to completely split from the US by their forming a new European Union type alliance to go under the provisional name of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELC), and where Chavez, who spoke of finally throwing off the US-yoke, stated:

“Now here, in Mexico, we have created a document, a compromise, the creation of a body of Latin America and the Caribbean, without the USA. Now we can say from Mexico we have revived the dream and project of Bolivar.”


Equally angering the Americans was Chilean President Michelle Bachelet’s enacting this past month a number of sweeping changes to her Nation’s defense establishment designed to eliminate the influence of the US Military over the rights of her people, and as we can read from her comments upon the signing of this bill:"

“With the enactment of this bill Chile will have completed one of the most difficult and ambitious modernizing reforms sponsored by the successive administrations of the Concertación (ruling coalition), with the understanding that defence is a State policy which must be in line with the standards demanded by a modern democracy”, underlined Ms Bachelet.

“It will be up to the officials elected by the people to define the objectives and means for national defence, assess its enactment adapting it to changes if necessary”, said Ms Bachelet who recalled that “what begins today, is obvious, was not so in the long history of our country: as happened until 1990 and more precisely 1973, was exactly the contrary”.

As a great portion of Chile now lies in ruins today, and without a doubt, President Bachelet has received from the Americans their “answer” to her and all of Latin Americas defiance of their true US masters wishes. What remains to be seen is if Chile’s South American neighbors will rise to her defence.

Imagine had Hitler had an earthquake machine! Any country who figures out how to create devastating earthquakes to destroy economies and infrastructures is going to own all the world. One can see how any psycho/sociopath would lust after such a powerful technology. Harnessing and altering mother nature's destructive forces seems to be the goal of a certain faction of psychopathic individuals.

Lawrence Lauser's Frivolous Federal Lawsuit Against City College of San Francisco

As the old saying goes, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

Attorney Pamela Lauser threw many such stones at me from her glass house in Small Claims Court in Concord, California on my 50th Birthday I posted about earlier this week. I had simply requested a partial refund of the $2,500 I paid for her non-representation services. So here goes. . .

Back in November, 2009 Lawrence Lauser, an architect consultant and husband of Martinez, California attorney Pamela Lauser, suffered a crushing blow when his attorney Frank Sarro was sanctioned. Shortly thereafter Lauser's attorney lost his sanction appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit Court. The Federal lawsuit was Lawrence C. Lauser v. City College of San Francisco, et al.

Excerpt from the Opinion:

"Plaintiffs filed a complaint in district court arguing that the College and Unions violated the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) and Labor Management Relations Act (“LMRA”). Plaintiffs alleged that the College wrongfully terminated Lauser and the Unions violated a collective bargaining agreement by failing to represent him in an action against the College. Opposing counsel informed plaintiffs that the claims were unwarranted by existing law, provided specific legal authority, and requested that they withdraw the complaint or be subject to a Rule 11 motion for sanctions. Plaintiffs continued to pursue the suit. The College and Unions moved for dismissal of the complaint and sanctions under Rule 11. The district court dismissed the complaint and imposed sanctions in the amount of $14,774.39 against Sarro. We review for an abuse of discretion, Holgate v. Baldwin, 425 F.3d 671, 675 (9th Cir. 2005), and we affirm.

In this case, the district court properly imposed Rule 11 sanctions on Sarro because he submitted a complaint that was not warranted by existing law and failed to conduct a reasonable inquiry after he was informed by opposing counsel that the complaint was baseless. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11."

So let me get this straight. Ms. Lauser's husband lost his job, filed a frivolous lawsuit using the Federal Court system in which his attorney Frank Sarro was sanctioned, then having lost his appeal. This means the attorney who viciously lied and attacked me on my birthday, did so while living in a glass house!

As an attorney, when one's husband is unemployed filing a frivolous lawsuit abusing the Federal court system, I think it should be brought to the public's attention. I paid $2,500 for one hearing and I did all the paperwork. I got nothing but a body in court who charged me 7 hours @$300/hr for non-representation resulting from a bait and switch. I was viciously attacked when I asked for a partial refund.

Cheryl Meril's Masquerade? Cyber Stalker Needs to Get a Life

I recently learned I've been accused by a particular psychopathic cyber stalker of masquerading as myself. Imagine that! That's an interesting concept, how does one do such a thing? The cyber seems to be confused about one's self identity and how it is ultimately determined in identifying one's self. The reason the cyber's confused is he obviously doesn't know who he is. He's confused with his own identity so he's accusing people he doesn't know of being part of a masquerade.

I can say whole heatedly, a man posing anonymously posting misinformation about me is the cowardly person who is masquerading himself. It is clear who I am, and I have made this known many times by my fruits of singing, compositions and recent education and certifications. The cyber can't handle the truth. It's very simple.

I was a singer who gave up singing last year due to online cyber harassment. I then got an education in law to wrap things up. My voice is as plain as day who I am. A person's voice says a lot about them. A few people from my past summed me up and believed they could take advantage of me. They became shocked when I stood up for myself ultimately leading to their trying to cover-up for themselves. Sometimes I've stood up for myself in ways that made me vulnerable to a backlash. This is what any conflicts I had over a decade or more long ago amount to.

I just thought I'd clarify the cyber stalker who continues to write misinformation about me is a coward and his fruits are obvious to any reasonable person. When one stands up to psychopaths who have no conscience or sound reasoning facility, it usually causes them to backlash because they're control freaks.

This guy cyber stalking and posting misinformation about me is a pompous ass who has no comprehension of what a fool he's making of himself. He's a complete stranger who is proving his motivation is due to lawsuits I've filed last year. He's the one playing a masquerade.

I don't need some stranger and psychopath trying to tell me things about myself in trying to convince me he has a relationship with me. This is generally what this man's activities have amounted to. There is no relationship! Does a parasite have a relationship to a host where it doesn't belong? No! It needs to be removed.

Cyber nut contacted be my email in 2007, I rejected his initial con and exposed him, and he has refused to end harassing and cyber stalking me ever since.

California Dreamin Tsunami Advisory 4 U.S. West Coast

Oh my God! Yet another large earthquake has rocked the world as the largest ever recorded in history in Chile! The last largest earthquake on record was in Chile in 1960 as well. One huge quake just hit Japan two days ago and now this? A tsunami is expected to hit Hawaii's islands around 11:00 a.m. and there's an advisory for the entire West Coast of the United States!

I can't say I never dreamed that a tsunami would come to the West Coast. Back in 1999 a lucid dream placed me as a witness of huge wall of water headed for an area I lived near the beach in San Francisco, known as the Outer Sunset. I considered the dream a forewarning of something to come because it was one of the most seemingly real dreams I've ever had. Needless to say, I moved out of that area as fast as I could.

They don't expect anything other than large swells on the West Coast. Let's hope Hawaii isn't going to be too damaged. I just watched Rachel Ray at Hawaii last night when I was on a treadmill at the gym. It looked so peaceful and serene!

Indie Artist Aisha Chips Away at Madonna's Facade

I'm one of those people who thinks the music industry took a severe wrong turn in allowing white trash Madonna to rise to such insane heights. I once got in trouble back in 1991 for sending a criticism of Ms. Madness at Xerox in El Segundo California on an electronic forum. The response I got was my very first flaming on a forum, and a subsequent complaint to my boss. I got called into a meeting and was told not to post again about Madonna. So, here I go again.

This photo of Madonna shows she may be planning on donating her body for one of those human anatomy museums one day. Seriously, it's obvious Madonna is suffering from too many extreme workouts. I see someone in the gym every day who has the same problem, but far worse.

I've always hated Madonna. She's scum, filth, the worst humanity has to offer in my book. I hated her in the 80's and I hate her today. She makes me want to vomit. I don't care how hard she worked in her life, she's trash. Utter, stinking trash. I have the same amount of respect for Madonna I have for a cockroach.

The world of music would have been a far different industry had this witch whore Madonna never been able to get so much power. I just don't understand what happened to America to allow Madonna to remain so long. She should have faded out quickly after her first hit. Greed ruled the 80's so it's logical Madonna was allowed to so flourish.

According to www.AishaMusic.com, Madonna's had the most copyright lawsuits filed against her of any artist in history. It's clear Madonna steals people's intellectual property in the droves. If there were any real intellectual property rights in this country, Madonna should have been bankrupted by now. It just goes to show you how corporations like Warner work to preempt copyright laws.

19. Millennium Films v. Madonna (breach of contract)
20. Done and Dusted v. Madonna (breach of contract)
21. DeCastro v. Madonna (invasion of privacy and commissioned stalking and harassment of a Miami family)

Madonna's a huge parasite who feeds off other artist's work. Madonna needs to be removed from the host called America's music industry ASAP and/or a stake put through her vicious vampire heart. Michael Jackson thought this woman was evil too! Any sane human being would be turned off by creepy Madonna. This is the person who deserves restraining orders for her mafia like activities against other artists.

I don't really know much about Aisha but she's an interesting woman for sure. Even if she may be in the realm of dreams and hope of a better world of music, a "could of and should have been allowed to happen", at least she represents something of a higher realm such evil Madonna certainly wishes to oppress and destroy. Fight on Aisha. Fight on!

WE need a line of Madonna toilet seats to remember her by in America. Madonna = Mafia

A Cosmic Yoko Ono Sighting in San Francisco

It was really kind of twilight zonish coincidental as I was fishing around for blog article material yesterday, I came across a photo of Yoko Ono with the late John Lennon. The site was www.aishamusic.com where I was reading about all the nasty copyright infringement lawsuits filed against Madonna.

21. Madonna Stole "In Bed With Madonna"

She was also accused of ripping off John Lennon and Yoko Ono's work for use years later in one of her own rubbish projects, "In Bed With Madonna" - "Shortly after their marriage, John Lennon and Yoko Ono gave interviews from their bedroom in an attempt to promote world peace. Madonna ripped off the idea for a movie…"

What made the incident highly improbable bumping it up to the level of cosmic is that yesterday I took a look at the photo and began thinking of Yoko Ono for the first time in many years. Within two hours of seeing that photo as I walked to the San Francisco financial district, I swore I saw Yoko Ono walking in the center of a group of people on Powell and California Streets around 3:00 p.m. towards the Stanford Hotel. The first thing that came to mind is, it couldn't be her and I was obviously affected by the photo.

This evening I got around to checking on Google if Yoko Ono was listed in San Francisco for some reason. Lo and behold, she was performing in Oakland across the bay at the Noise Pop Festival! What are the odds? You decide.

Attorney Pamela Lauser Threatens Lawsuit Against Divorcee Mother With Two Young Children

As described in a previous post, I went to court on my 50th birthday in Concord Small Claims Court before one of the best judges I've ever witnessed, the Honorable Judge Ronald Creighton. Judge Creighton ruled fairly over my restraining order case against Cyber #2 last year so I was already familiar.

Whatever Judge Creighton rules in my Small Claims Court case I will accept as valid even if I don't recover any of my money back. We go before judges for a reason, because they know the law and procedure. They have the ability to see two sides of the same coin. I've also witnessed incompetent judges who clearly play the political card for whatever reason. I'll write another story about that some other time.

What I witnessed in court made my stomach turn much like Alex Jones nearly threw up upon hearing of Texas Gubernatorial Debra Medina's unspeakable comments recently. Pamela Lauser, an attorney in Martinez, CA, in the County of Contra Costa, really showed her true colors as a vicious political animal, (herein referred to as "Vicious Animal"). Here's the bottom line of what the Vicious Animal did in a court of law, she lied through her teeth as a form of psychological warfare. "I don't have a LinkedIn Account" is just one small insignificant example.

Basically, what many attorneys of this day and age believe is that because they have the power over the average American, they can say whatever they want and get away with it. They believe judges will side with them such as involving Small Claims Court cases because they're players in court's game. That may be so in some instances, but when they take the lying and over dramatization thing too far it becomes glaringly obvious it's all nothing but a game to them; a game to win at all costs because they are really whores. In fact, the term "whore" is too good for them. Many whores often have more integrity then attorneys who stoop low in their game plan to win at all costs.

Vicious Animal Sank Teeth Into Vulnerable Divorcee Client's Finances And Wants Even More!

After my earlier story about the Vicious Animal, I got a phone call from one of her abused clients (herein referred to as "Abused Client") who shared her story of trauma and abuse, not of her husband as one might imagine, but by the Vicious Animal. Basically the Abused Client paid the Vicious Animal $8,000 and basically got nothing of any value in return except being lied to, conned and tormented. The attorney wants $12,000!

"I'll fight for you," proclaimed the Vicious Animal in the initial salesmanship part of getting the retainer. For attorneys, once the retainer's signed, it's in the bag. Much like a student fresh out of high school gets their first credit card in college, divorce attorneys so view their Retainer Agreements. Their Retainer Agreement's the big clincher and some attorneys will say anything to the client to get it signed. In this case, befriending a vulnerable woman in the middle of her divorce was part of the Vicious Animal's con game.

The Abused Client, a professional with two small children, had made the mistake as many do of having gone to the Vicious Animal for her non-complex divorce. Many greedy attorneys such as the Vicious Animal often deliberately make a divorce more difficult in order to profit from. What the Abused Client told me about the Vicious Animal is how she got back stabbed, tormented and taken advantage of only to be threatened with a lawsuit for not paying even more money. According to the Abused Client, the divorce legal process should have been over but the Vicious Animal deliberately prolonged it including several unnecessary case management conferences to the point the judge had to ask, "what is this case still doing here?"

Attorney Brad Sherman and author of "How to Do Your Own Divorce in California" says the Vicious Animal's practice of deliberately driving up a divorcee's costs isn't all that uncommon. Sherman advises people with non-complex divorces, in which both sides have already come to an agreement, to seek alternative services including mediation, court facilitators, legal document assistants, and divorce helplines:

"It's okay to use an attorney, but most people should not retain one in their divorce unless there is a clear reason for doing so."

"Never forget that when you retain an attorney, the more trouble you have, the more money the attorney makes. That's hardly an incentive to keep things simple."

Where it all stands for the Abused Client is the divorce is over, however she lives under the threat of a lawsuit being filed against her by the Vicious Animal who wasn't satisfied with $8,000 for her rather lame psychopathic services. The Abused Client was going to go to arbitration over the dispute, but has since decided to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A rather tragic financial outcome.

The Abused Client took her case for the Vicious Animal's questionable billing practices to another attorney to review. The attorney told her the Vicious Animal's billing was highly suspicious and recommended she take it to the California State Bar Association.

The Abused Client has expressed wanting to contribute her own blog article here about her experiences with the Vicious Animal in order to help others to avoid being ripped off by this particular foul species of attorney. Legal service providers such as myself would like to help make these kind of ravenous greedy abusive attorneys extinct with alternative methods.
