Chapter 1 - Beginning

I was born on September 13, 1983 at 7:03 pm in Columbia, Missouri. My full name is Brandon Christopher Napier. I remember living in the country near Columbia, Missouri with my mom and her boyfriend Wesley, my brother Jason and my sister Tasha, and my sister Crystal lived there. I went to school at, Fairview Elementary school, I rode the short bus to school.

One time when I was going to school at, Fairview Elementary School, we went on a field trip to the St. Louis zoo, on the bus on the way back from the St. Louis zoo I didn't feel good, Wesley picked me up from school that day, I was itchy, I had the chicken pocks, that sucked. On Halloween, I went tricker treating with some of my mom's friend's kids, it was in a trailer park near the school that I was going to, when I was trick or treating a kid told me that my dad is coming to pick me up, and he did, he took me to the mall. We walked around, and I got some candy from people that was handing it out, then we sat down at a table at the food court, I was drinking a cup of hot chocolate, then my dad dropped me off at my mom's house.

The next school that I went to was, Mill Creek Elementary School, I was in special ed classes, I had mild autism which made it hard for me to say what I was thinking and my skin is sensitive to cotton, I itch when I wear cotton, except for when I wear socks in my shoes. one time me and my mom was at a little car place on Rangeline, I was sitting in the drivers seat of a car that was there, then the car that I was sitting in, rolled away towards the highway, the drivers door was open, then my mom ran to the car that I was in, then she stepped on the brakes, that stopped the car and the car didn't go into the highway, it could have been a disaster, if my mom didn't run to step on the brakes. I liked ninja movies, I liked ninja outfits, and I liked ninja weapons. when I went to Mill Creek Elementary School, I got along with a teacher helper, except for one time when I got mad at her, I punched her in the stomach, but I like her, one time she came to pick me up at my mom's house, Wesley was there, he said hi, then she said hi, then she asked him did he show you his pink slip, then he said no, then I reached into my pocket inside of my coat, then I handed the pink slip to him, He still let me go with her. She drove me to a store, she got me some blow pops, then me and her went to a basketball game, people were playing basketball in wheel chairs, I had a friend when I went to Mill Creek Elementary school his name is Leroy, one time me and him got into a fight at recess, he punched me in the stomach, it knocked the wind out of me, one time I picked up his broken glasses on the grass at recess, I was playing trying to take it away from him, then he bit me on the side of my ear. I wasn't a bully, but I didn't make a wise decision, me, and Leroy hung out, my mom dropped me off at where he lived, by Everett's restaurant, in a trailer park, my mom worked at Everet's, me and Leroy hung out at where he lived.

Everett's served free food for thanksgiving, I saw Leroy and his mom there sitting at a table eating, my mom said hi to Leroy's mom, then she said hi. I played on a soccer team at cosmo park, I didn't like that, but at the soccer games I liked to sit on the bench and eat slices of oranges. me, and my brother Jason visited my dad for Christmas in St. Louis, Missouri, our grandma and grandpa drove us there, my dad lived with Lyndlee, he has kids with her, their names are, Erin that's a girl and Tyler. They are my half-brother and half sister, on Christmas I got the game battleship, I didn't like it that much, but I played with it anyway, I didn't know how to play it, and I had a hard time learning. Another time when my dad lived in St. Charles, Missouri my grandma and grandpa drove me and Jason to a gas station, its halfway to St. Charles, Missouri, we met my dad there, then my dad drove me and Jason to his apartment, he wasn't living with Lyndlee anymore, and Erin and Tyler wasn't living with him. Me, and Jason got into a fight at the apartment that my dad was living at, my dad was at work, Jason called my dad to tell him that I was acting up, then my dad said to me on the phone, settle down. Me and Jason helped my dad work at club riverport, my dad gave me money to help, and Jason was getting paid to help too. One time me my dad and Jason went to not club riverport but Riverport Amphitheatre, to see a Kenny G concert, I remember Kenny G was standing in the isle playing a saxaphone, I was standing close to him, my dad and Jason was somewhere, when me and Jason, and my dad were walking, my dad had his arm around me, then my dad said we saw you on the screen, then we left. My mom and Wesley was going to get married, but my mom didn't marry Wesley, my uncle Scott and his son Aron and his daughter Sarah came from San Jose, California, they stayed with us for a while, Scott drove here in his white van, Wesley wasn't living with us anymore, Scott was a chimney sweep. one time me Jason, Aron and Sarah were waiting for our buses to go to school, Aron was rapping, then Sarah rapped, Sarah said in her rap, I gotta go to tha sto to get some dough, I didn't rap.

When I went to Russell Elementary school, I sold frozen pizzas for that school for prizes, Aron helped me sell the frozen pizzas me, and Aron went around to houses in the neighborhood to sell the frozen pizzas. One time me my mom and Aron went to Walmart, I pointed to a box with a sling shot in it, then I asked my mom can you buy me that sling shot, then she said no, but for my birthday Scott bought me that sling shot, I was happy that Scott bought it for me for my birthday, I had fun with it. Scott, Aron and Sarah stayed with us for a while then they went back to San Jose, California. Then me my mom and Jason went to live with my sister Tasha, she lived at the lake of the woods. When we were living there me Tasha, and my mom went on a plane to visit San Jose, California. First, we stayed with my mom's friend Pam, in the room that I was staying in there was a bucket of red vines, me and my mom ate alot of the redvines. me my mom Pam and her daughter went to a theatre to watch 3D, I remember seeing Michael Jackson on the screen in 3D, it was cool, then me, and my mom and Tasha went to stay with my uncle Scott, my cousin Aron and my cousin Sarah. When we were there, me my mom and Tasha went over to my other cousin's house, then me and my two cousin's went to the beach, we were wearing wet suits, we boogie boarded.

Another time me Aron and my mom went to the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California, it was fun. Then me, my mom and Tasha flew back to Columbia, Missouri, me Jason and my mom moved into a apartment at whitegate. Me and Jason argued alot and me, and my mom argued, one morning my mom locked me out of the apartment, she left, then I threw a shoe at her red Honda car when she was leaving in it, when I was in the apartment building locked out, I peed in my shorts because I didn't know where to pee at, then my grandma walked in with a pizza that she made, then I told her that I was locked out, so I went to work with her. she worked as a laundry person at Boone Retirement Center, I stayed with my grandma for a couple of days, when I got back to my mom's apartment, she said to me, I'm sorry for locking you out, I thought that you would get a key. I took taekwondo class, I use to really be into ninja stuff, I use to think that I was going to be a ninja, I liked watching the movie Dragon The Bruce Lee Story, I use to watch it alot, I loved how he got famous and how he went against stuff and I loved the soundtrack, I still like the music on there and I still like to watch that movie, my mom bought me that soundtrack for my birthday at that time and I liked the movie American Ninja 4: The Annihilation, I thought that the colors of their ninja suits that they wore, which is yellow and blue was cool. I use to get throwing Stars and through them outside and I had knumbchucks, I'm not into that now, im not about physical fighting. At Russell Elementary School, a student that went there was messing with me at recess, so I kicked him while he was on the ground, then his sister said stop, I had gotten fed up with being picked on by him, I have a friend Steven, my mom would drop us off at the dollar movie, and I hung out at his house sometimes and sometimes he hung out at were I lived. one time when me my mom and Jason were living in a apartment at white gate, me and Jason were wresteling, then i broke my arm, i told Jason that i broke my arm, then he felt it to see if it was broke, he didn't think that it was broke but it was broke, I got a cast put onto my arm.

One time my grandma brought me back to my mom's house from visiting her and my grandpa, on the way to my moms house, me and my grandma got into a car accident, by the stop sign, by Red Top Christian Church, my grandma turned left at the stop sign, then I looked, then I saw a red car coming fast from the right, it was too late for me to say anything to my grandma about it, it happened so fast, the car hit the back side of my grandmas car, the glass shattered, I had a banana pie in my lap that my grandma made, I looked at my grandma, then I asked her am I alive, then she said ya. This happened in Hallsville, Missouri , me and my grandma walked to Red Top Christian Church, so that she could Call my grandpa to pick us up, then me and my grandma walked out of Red Top Christian Church, a ambulance was at the accident scene, and the police was there. Then my grandpa came to pick us up, then he dropped my grandma off at work, she was working at Boone Retirement Center. I was scared from the accident, I was paranoid that I was going to get into another accident. My grandpa dropped me off at my mom's apartment, my mom was taking a bath, she didn't know what happened, she was upset at me because I acted up, when I was at my grandma and gradpas house, my mom said to me, your going to get a spanking, then I told her that me, and grandma got into a car accident, then she said you did, then I said ya, then she said are you ok, then I said ya, then I said grandma had a back injury, she's getting it checked out at Boone Hospital. After I told my mom that me and my grandma were in a car accident, she wasn't upset at me anymore, that got me out of getting a spanking with her belt, when I got Into trouble, like get a pink slip from school, she would spank me with her belt, Two hard times on my bare bottom, I didn't like that.

When me and my grandma got into the car accident, we were going to return a movie to Gerbes that I watched, which is Surf Ninjas, my grandpa returned it. In 1995, I visited my dad in Hilton Head, South Carolina. my dad delivered fruits and vegetables in his white jeep, me and him went to Savanna, Georgia, we went to a warehouse, that was where the people that he worked for were, we were going there from Hilton Head, South Carolina, On the way there we were at a stop light, it wasn't in Hilton Head, South Carolina, a car drove fast towards the stop lights, that was on the right side of the street, then that car screeched, then it spinned to the other direction, it scared me, then later we drove across a bridge, then later we were in Savanna, Georgia, he showed me the place were the movie Forrest Gump was filmed, where the benches are, thats one of my favorite movies, sometime after that I flew back to Columbia, Missouri to live with my mom and Jason.
Chapter 2 - Group Home

When I came back from visiting my dad in Hilton Head, South Carolina, my mom and Jason moved into a new house, on Royal Birkdale, it was at night I was laying on the couch, then my mom told me calmly, that I should go into a group home, then she said its ok you can come over and visit, then she said is it ok with you to go into a group home, I was crying, then I said no, but I had to go to the group home a week after that, the group home was ok, the hardest part was being away from my mom, but the group home tought me how to cook and do chores, we had schedules, and each person had their own case worker that helped them with their schedules, and they wrote about our day in a clip book, they wrote in the clip book at the end of the day, Nicole was strict but she was nice. me and the people that lived there took turnes doing chores, at first when I moved there there was two other people that lived there, there names are Mark and Harold, we had chores to do which was, clean the house, or cook, we each had a clip book with paper in it with our schedule in it, if we acted up, like cuss at a staff member or if we got into trouble at school, we got put on schedule c, which means that you cant go on outings, and you haft to stay in your room, they took my tv and my furniture out of my room, one time when I was on schedule c, schedule c lasted for two days, it sucked even more if I was going to visit my mom or grandma, because then I couldn't visit them when I was on schedule c.

One Friday I was laying on my bed waiting for my grandma to come pick me up from the group home, so that I could visit them for the weekend, I feel asleep on my bed, then I woke up the next day, I was aggravated that I was still at the group home and not at my grandma and grandpa's trailer house, the staff member that worked there the night that my grandma came to pick me up said to me, you were asleep with your eyes open when your grandma came to pick you up, then he said she's coming to pick you up today, I was aggravated because I wanted to be at my grandma and grandpa's house on Friday night too, my grandma picked me up that Saturday.

I got along with alot of the staff members there, they understood my needs not to be expected to be perfect. usually I would Go to my moms house a couple of times a week, sometimes I would get to spend the night unless me and my mom got into a argument, then she took me back to the group home, she only lived two or three miles away from there, it made me sad when that would happen, one time I cried when I got out of the car when my mom took me back to the group home early, because we argued, that happened In the first group home on red oak, one summer when I lived at the group home on Red Oak, me and my brother Jason visited my dad in Hilton Head, South Carolina, I liked visiting my dad, and I liked going to the beach, when Jason was visiting there with me him, my dad and me went to the beach, we hung out, my dad likes to play golf, and he likes to watch it on tv and he has a golf video game for his Sega Genesis, me, my dad and Jason played that golf game on Sega Genesis, one time my dad Jason and me were playing that golf game, I put on the 2pac All Eyes On Me CD, the song Unconditional Love was playing, while that song was playing, my dad looked at me, then he hugged me while he was playing the golf game, my dad bought me food that I liked, and he rented me movies and games that I played on his Sega Geneses.

Me and Jason gave him a hug, the air was different from the air in Missouri, when we got to Albuquerque, New Mexico I could breathe in air more, my dad drove us to Santa Fe, New Mexico in his white jeep, with the top off, Santa Fe is a hour away from Albuquerque, I was tired and the climate made me even more tired, my dad stopped at the gas station on the way to Santa Fe to get us some snacks, he bought me a oatmeal cream pie cookie, when we got to Santa Fe, I saw houses, they are square shaped, and they are brown, I didn't see houses like that before, I thought that they were cool, when we got to my dad's apartment, the inside of the apartment has brick tile on the floors, and the interance to my dad's room is oval shaped, the bathroom is in my dad's room and from my dads, room is the kitchen and the next room is me and Jason's room, when me and Jason first went into the apartment, my dad said that the inside of the apartment looks like the taj mahal, after we got to the apartment, I took a nap. me and Jason would go with my dad to the laundry matt to do laundry.

When I was in Santa Fe, my mild autism got worse, I had a harder time saying what I thought, that made what I said come out wrong, it was embarrassing, it hurt me, I was quiet a lot because of it, and people picked on me because of it. I enrolled at Santa Fe High School a week after me and Jason moved to Santa Fe, me and my dad went to Santa Fe High School to enroll me into high school, its a campus, first we waited in line outside of the cafeteria, then we went to the hallway to the cafeteria, we waited in line to sit down for orientation, then we went into the cafeteria, then we sat down for orientation, a guy was telling everybody the rules of the school, then me, and my dad walked to the office to register me for high school, then we walked to the gym so that I could enroll in football. I started school a week after that, some of my classes were special ed classes, my last class of the day was art, one time the art teacher said that her cousin is in the group Foo Fighters, she's a nice teacher, after art class was football practice. I would go into the locker room to get dressed into my football uniform, then I went out to a field were the track is, then I stretched with the football team, the football team is called Demons, after we stretched we ran up and down the bleachers on the football field, that was very hard, and sometimes we ran up and down a dirt hill, the coach would say get up their Brandon, running up and down the dirt hill was very hard too, I got out of breath a lot when I ran up and down the bleachers and the dirt hill.

Shortly after me, and Jason moved to Santa Fe, Debra came to visit my dad, she was there when Zozobra and fiestas were going on, Zozobra is a big paper puppet that growls and moves around and eventually it burns, the burning of Zozobra represents your aguish and anxiety from the past year going away, with the burning of Zozobra, his name is Zozobra aka Old Man Gloom, Zozobra happens downtown in Santa Fe, New Mexico on a field once a year, when Debra was visiting, me, my dad and Debra watched Zozobra on TV, we lived by downtown, so we could hear Zozobra growling. when Debra was visiting, me, my dad and Debra went downtown to fiestas, that happens outside, where there's spanish food and art, there is always art and spanish jewelry for sale downtown, people sell the spanish jewelry outside on tables. Debra was there for my 15th birthday, me, my dad and Debra went to Furr's grocery store to get me a birthday cake, on the way back to the apartment there was a accident, a pick-up truck hit a car, me, my dad and Debra were in my dad's jeep at a stop light outside of Furr's grocery store, then we saw the accident happen, that night me, my dad and Debra went to a spanish restaurant to celebrate my birthday, when we got there we sat down, then we ordered food, I ate fajitas, after we ate, I went with my dad and Debra to sit down with them at the bar, the TV at the bar was on, it was on the sports channel, my dad said to me, your at the age where you can drive in Santa Fe, the age that you can drive is 15, then he said that he's going to get me a car.

Two days after that Debra left, then they didn't see each other anymore. It was football season, I was practicing with the team every weekday, I was picked on a bit, I didn't know how to put on my football uniform the right way, tucking the pads in was hard for me to do, so I went out onto the practice field with the uniform not on correctly. One time One of the football players pissed in my black converse shoes, then he put them in the toilet in the locker room, my mom bought me those shoes when my ankle was broke, in the spring before me and Jason moved to Santa Fe, one time after me, and the rest of the the football team played a game in Taos, New Mexico, the position that I played was a tackle, at halftime it sprinkled, but the football game didn't get canceled, after halftime when it was time for me to play, I grabbed one of the other football team players by his football jersey, then I swung him onto the ground, then the coach yelled, there you go Brandon. Our team lost that game. After that game when me and the team walked towards the doors to the High School in Taos, New Mexico to go to the locker room, I felt something drop onto my head, then I looked up, then I saw a bird fly past me, that bird took a crap on my head, then the football players laughed and the assistant coach laughed, the assistant coach is cool though and the coach is cool, when me and the team got into the locker room, the coach talked to the team, then he told us what he thought about each of us, then he said, Brandon you need to watch Rocky everyday or something to get you motivated, after me, and the team got out of the locker room, we got onto the bus, then we went to Mc Donalds to eat, after me, and the team ate we walked towards the doors to leave Mc Donalds, then the guy that pissed in my Converse shoes and put them into the toilette, in the locker room at Santa Fe High School, he put little white cups of ketchup into the hood of my Kansas City Chiefs coat, then he put my hood over my head, then the assistant coach told him to stop, then me, and the team got on the bus to go back to Santa Fe High School

When me, and the football team got back to Santa Fe High School, my dad was waiting for me in his white jeep in the parking lot outside of the football locker room, he was talking to the assistant coach, then I walked up to my dad's window, then I said hey to my dad, then he said hey, then I said, I'm going to put away my football uniform in the locker room, then he said ok, then I walked to the locker room, when I got into locker room, I put my football uniform into my locker, then one of the football players his name is Mark, he asked me do you want me to take your hood from your coat and wash it for you, then I said ya, it was the hood to my Kansas City Chiefs coat, that one of the football players put ketchup in at McDonalds, I unzipped the hood from my coat then I gave it to Mark, then I put my football uniform into my locker, then I walked out of the locker room, then me and my dad left to go to the apartment. The next-day Mark was sitting on the bleachers in the gym, I was in PE class, I asked him do you have the hood to my coat, then he said ya, then I sat down on the bleachers, then he unzipped his backpack, then he gave me the hood to my coat, then I said thanks. For Christmas break that year in 1998, I flew on a airplane to visit my mom and my grandma and grandpa, my aunt Regina picked me up at the Kansas City airport, then she drove me to my grandma and grandpas trailer house in Sturgeon, Missouri, sometime after that I visited my mom and I went over to my friend Steven's house to hang out with him.

After the movie, I walked back to my moms House, then my grandma and grandpa picked me up that evening, when I got back to my grandma and grandpa's house, I walked to Jeanne and Randy's house to hang out with Jason and Elaina, Jason asked me what did you do at your moms house, then I said I filled out a sonic application, and I saw the movie Baby Boy today, then Jason said you should have brought us, then Elaina said ya.

The next week I picked up my check from sonic. I got another job towards the end of July that summer at Pizza Hut, its in the same area that Sonic's at, its on Nifong, I made pizzas for people, in the beginning of August I was about to get off of work at pizza hut, I had a big new yorker pizza made for me with pepperoni, green pepper and pineapple on it, so that I could take it to my mom's house to eat, when I got off of work at pizza hut I called my mom, I asked her if she could pick me up that I have a pizza, then she said no, then I rode on my blue bike, while I was holding the pizza on my right handle bar, when I went past break time gas station a little, I felt my bike handle bars shift to the left, then I feel onto the ground, I feel on my left hand, I knew that my left arm was broke, then I slowly got up off of the ground, then I looked at my left hand, I had a scrape on it, and my right collar bone hurt, then I looked at the apartments in front of me. I felt dizzy it was humid, then I looked back at the break time parking lot, there was some people standing by a car in the break time parking lot, when I looked back at them they laughed at me, then I flipped them off. Then I walked with my bike and pizza, I didn't get to far, I was in to much pain, then I walked back to the side of the road in front of break time, then some people pulled over to the side of the road in front of break time, it was a older woman and a older guy, then the woman asked me are you ok, do you need me to call for a ambulance, then I said no I will call my mom, then she said I have a cell phone that you can use, then I said ok.

She waited with me for the bus by my grandma and grandpa's mailbox, at the beginning Sturgeon High School was ok, then people started picking on me. Ok or not ok I didn't like school.

After a week of helping the concrete workers do work, I was having a hardtime understanding how to do something with a chalk line, then the guy that was in charge said to me,This isn't going to work out, then he said you would just be in the way, then he reached into his truck, he got a card, then he gave me the card, it was for a pancake breakfast, then I said thanks, I didn't go to the pancake breakfast, later that summer, I got a job helping people lay bricks, I didn't lay bricks, but I helped people do work, one day one of the workers asked me to stand on something so that I could Scrape the wall, it was high I didn't feel safe, then I said this is high, then he said you can do it, then I said this job isn't for me, then he asked me are you going to quit, then I said ya, then he said you can stick around and help, then I said no that's alright, then he said ok.

I had a idea to put keyboards on two of my car doors, first I put rain drops going down the top sides of my car, I didn't like that so I painted over it. I had a hard time figuring out what doors to put the keyboards on so I messed up and I had a hard time making the keyboard keys the right size, first I drew a line across the top of the door so that I could put circle buttons, then I drew the keys with a ruler, it was still hard to make the keys the same size.

The next month in November on a court date in Sedalia, they said that I would haft to spend ten days in jail for taking gas, on November 2 2004 I went to jail, it was election day for a new president, I didn't like being in jail, I didn't like the food, but I didn't mind a lot about the food because I was on a diet, I couldn't see through the windows there, one of the people there let me read his magazines and he let me read one of his books, it made time go by faster, when I was released from jail, my car wasn't were I parked it at, I parked it in front of the court house, then I walked to the police station to see about it, I said to a guy at the police station, I don't know where my car is, then he said I don't know, then he checked, then he said to me, it was towed, then he gave me a piece of paper with the phone number to were my car was, then I left, then I walked to a bail bonds place by the jail to see if i could use their phone, somebody that works there let me use there phone, then I called my grandma to ask her to pick me up, then she said, i will call Kenny to pick you up, then he picked me up by the bail bonds place, then he drove me to where my car was, then I drove to my apartment. on Christmas morning that year at 2:00am, I was drinking vodka and orange juice,and I was watching the movie A Christmas Story on TV, then I worked on my car some more, I put duct tape around the keyboard keys on my back doors, then I spray painted them black, I finally got that part done, I didn't haft to paint the keys white because my car was white. Later after that it took me a while to figure out what size keyboard keys to put on both sides of the hood on my car. At the end of that December 2004 I decided that I wanted to stick with the vegetarian diet, so I did for a month. I drew two microphones on the trunk of my car, I put one microphone on each side of the trunk.

At the end of January 2005 I went to club Shattered to see Kyjuan of the St. Lunatics, afterwards I walked to Paris Rd to a gas station, then I asked somebody at the gas station can you drive me to the Ramada Inn, then he said, I can drive you to the stop light, then I said ok, then he dropped me off at the stop light by Vandiver, then I walked to the Ramada Inn, then I walked inside the Ramada Inn, comedian Darius Bradford was there, then I asked him can I get a picture taken with you, then he said ya, then somebody took a picture of me and him and a women is in that picture, then I sat down on the chairs inside of the Ramada Inn, I was sitting next to somebody that said that he plays for the Chicago Bulls, then I saw B-Love, he was the host on the radio station Q106.1. I said hey B-Love, then he said hey, then I shook his hand, then he walked away, then Kyjuan walked in the door, then he walked to the stairs, then I got up, then I talked to Kyjuan, when I was standing at the bottom of the stairs, he was standing on the stairs, then I said to him, I was listening to country grammar earlier this week before I found out that you were coming here, then he said me too, then I singed some of the lyrics to one of Nelly's songs that's on Nelly's Country grammar album, I sang, all my midwest dudes tryen to make a mill, then Kyjuan sang and get blowed, then I said ya, then Kyjuan asked me are you hungry, then I said ya, then he reached into his pocket to get money, then he gave me a twenty dollar bill, then I said thanks, then I shook his hand, then I left.

In the middle of February of that year one week I didn't have much food in my apartment to eat, before that I was eating little portions of rice, beans, spinach and yams, all I had was raw potatoes that week and some other foods, on Thursday of that week it was like 3:00am, I got up then I felt dizzy, then I looked in a box on the side of the hallway in the kitchen, then I found a box of chocolate pudding in the box, then I mixed it with water then I drank it, then I felt better, then I went outside to draw four drum machine keys with a ruler on my passenger's side front door, I drew four drum machine keys on my drivers door before that too. I felt better until the end of that February of that year, then I felt dizzy a lot. I could hear my pulse beating in my ear, when my ear laid against a pillow, then I felt my pulse on my arm, my pulse went slow, then it went fast, it repeatedly did that, then I went to Boone Hospital Center to see what the problem is, they checked my pulse on a machine, then he said that I'm fine, then he said if you want to you can take a blood test somewhere.That spring I asked my grandma to order me the book, Natural Cures They Don't want you to know about, so she did, then she brought it to me after she got it in the mail, I did different things to try to cure and help my mild autism and blood sugar, but things that I tried didn't work, I tried Noni juice that's recomended in one of Kevin Trudeau's newsletters, that gave me more energy, but it didn't help the mild autism that I had, then I went to my doctor appointment to see why I was feeling dizzy, then I took a blood test, when I went to another doctor's appointment I found out that there was nothing wrong with my blood test, I thought that there would be something wrong with my blood sugar, I think that I have hypoglycemia because of my symptoms.

Not too long after that I went to a free Twista concert, it was outside at the Hearnes Center, it was tight. I put duct tape on the sides of the drum machine keys, on the front doors of my car, then I spray painted them blue. Not too long after that I finally put the right size keyboard keys on both sides of the hood on my car, then I put duct tape around the keys, then I painted them black, then I drew three buttons above the keyboard keys. Later after that I drew four drum machine keys with a ruler on the middle of my hood and trunk, then I put duct tape around the drum machine keys, then I spray painted them blue.

Later after that I wrote with a erasable marker, REALSTYLE on the driver's side of my car, the word was arched, then I wrote the same thing on the other side of my car, then I spray-painted the letters blue. In June of that year I had a dream, my sister Tasha's old boyfriend Chris was in it, I didn't have a dream with him in it before that, then after I had that dream that day, Tasha knocked on my door, then I opened the door, then she said to me, me and Chris are moving can we store some of our stuff here, then I said ya, in one of the dreams that I had that day, I was under a bridge below a highway, I saw a black trash bag, then I opened the trash bag, then I saw little red apples in the trash bag, Tasha came over again that day with Chris, then Tasha asked me can me and Chris stay with you for a couple of weeks until we find a apartment, then I said ya, I hung out with Chris when he was there, I drank vodka and orange juice when I hung out with him on the porch, then one of Tasha's friends wanted to stay with us for a week so she did, Tasha and Chris left after a couple of weeks and Tasha's friend went with them. Tasha and Chris moved to a apartment on Paquin st, then I wrote with a erasable marker above the drum machine keys on my trunk, REALSTYLE, then I spray painted the letters blue, the word was arched, then I wrote RECORDS below that, RECORDS was straight, then I decided to paint over REALSTYLE on my trunk and make the letters straight, but I kept on messing up with that, but I finally got it right, on my trunk and on my hood. Then that summer I bought another Natural Cures book, it's updated with cures for specific diseases, I didn't put the right Information to use because I was confused, I was focusing on other stuff, I wasn't focusing on the specific problem for my mild autism, I was just eating a lot of organic foods, then I took a couple of different memory helpers, that helped my memory, but it didn't help my mild autism much. my grandpa died towards the end of September 2005, my dad came for the funeral, I was too nervous to go to the funeral because of my mild autism and it was too painful to go, Crystal didn't understand that.

In January 2006, I drove to Crystal's house to talk to her, when I got to her house there were people there, it was Crystal's son Aspen's birthday, I didn't know that it was Aspen's birthday that day, they were having a birthday party for him, when I got there me and Crystal got into a argument in the living room, it wasn't to loud, then I walked into the kitchen to say happy birthday to Aspen, then I left. sometime after that I wrote Crystal a letter, in that letter I said that I'm going to ask grandma to make payments to blue hippo for a computer for me, so that I can sell stuff on ebay and use the internet, after Crystal got my letter she left me a message on my answering machine, she said that she has a computer, then she said that something needs to be done to it, then I went to her house to pick up the computer, the computer was downstairs, its a Apple G3 computer, its greenish blue, i like the color, Crystal carried the harddrive and I carried the screen to my car, then I told her thanks, then I left, when I turned on the computer at my apartment nothing came on the screen, so in March of that year, me and my grandma went to a computer place at parkade plaza, the guy that worked there didn't work on the brand of computer that I have, then he called a guy that does, then he came there to pick up my hardrive to work on it, his name is Mike, then I got my hardrive back back a week after that, my computer needed a new hardrive, Mike put a new hardrive in my computer so I was happy.

In April 2006, my dad came to visit my grandma, I went to my grandma's house to visit them, when I was there my grandma cut my hair, then I saw my dad, Jeannie and Randy standing by a horse, its Randy and Jeannie's horse, they were standing in the yard at my grandma and grandpa's house, then I walked outside to the yard, then I stood with them, then my dad wanted to take a picture of me, so he took a picture of me.

On May 28 2006, in the wee hours, I was at my computer, then I turned on my alarm clock radio, I don't hardly ever listen to the radio when I'm at my computer, one of 2pac's songs Keep Ya Head Up came on the radio, after I listened to that song I felt like listening to more of 2pac's music, so I went to You Tube, I listened to my favorite 2pac song Changes. After I listened to that song, I saw a video on you tube the video is called 2pac's Alive, I have seen that video on You Tube before but this time I decided to watch it, I know that 2pac's not alive in physical body on earth now, but I will get to that later. I watched the You Tube video it's called 2pac's Alive, in that video it looks exactly like 2pac and in the parking lot, I heard that the cars that were around in that video didn't come out until 1999 and 2000, 2pac died on September 13 1996. After I watched that video I decided to do a Google search for is 2pac still alive, then I found some interesting information, here's some of the information that I found, 2pac survived for 7 days, he got shot on September 7, then he died on September 13, that's seven days, 2pac was 25 when he died, 2+5=7, he died at 4:03 4+3=7, his badge number in the movie Gang Related is 115 11+5 =7, 2pac called himself Makaveli like Machaveli, and I read that Machaveli is somebody who faked his death to escape enemy's, I don't know if that's true. In one of 2pac's videos its called, I Aint Mad At Ya, 2pac got shot, and that song is track number 13, on 2pac's album All Eyes On Me, 2pac died on September 13, then after I found that information I searched some more, then I found a link that said, 2pac is alive in Cuba, then I clicked on that link, it was on a forum, then I saw that somebody posted a link to, Tupac's Revelation in the comments on that forum, then I clicked on that link. In the Tupac's Revelation story, it tells about Branham, I was like Branham, Bran is my nickname, I gave myself that nickname from the name that my parents gave to me, which is Brandon Christopher Napier, I was like ok. Then I read that Branham's son was born on September 13, 1935, I was born on September 13, 1983, I started to get shocked. I read that the prophet William Marrion Branham was born in 1909, seven years later a angel spoke to him and told him that he was sent here by God, and that he had a explicit mission on earth, he also was told to go west so later he went to Arizona, when 2pac was a child he went west too, Branham had seven visions in 1933, those visions are on Yahoo, just type in Tupac Revelation on Yahoo. In 1933 on June 16, which is the same day that 2pac was Born on, on June 16 1933 during a baptismal service God in the form of the pillar of fire publicly vindicates his servant, telling him the overall significance of his ministry and it's relation to the second coming of Jesus, there's a picture of the pillar of fire in the story Tupac's Revelation, its on Yahoo, just type in Tupac Revelation on Yahoo. on February 28, 1963 in the western skies of Arizona a mysterious cloud swept north across the state. On February 28, 1963, about 40 miles north west of Tuscon, seven mighty angels came from the heavens at the speed of light, Branham said that the sound was like the sound of a jet breaking through the sound barrier, then the seventh angel said return to Jeffersonville, the seven seals of the seven mysteries will be opened one by one, we bring the message. One day when Branham was looking at the picture of the cloud of angels, the voice instructed Branham to turn the picture clockwise to the right, then he noticed the appearance of the head of Christ, there's pictures of that cloud its in Tupac Revelation on Yahoo. on December 24 1965 Branham was given a everlasting sign of his ministry, which is the 7 mountain peaks near Lima, Montana, the peaks are related to a vision where Branham was told that the peaks were related to the number of letters in his name, William has 7 letters in it, Branham has 7 letters in it, I changed my nickname from Bran to Bran 7 shortly after I read Tupac Revelation, to represent the Number 7, plus Brandon has seven letters in it. Branham cared about the black man, he visited Africa in order to make a religious campaign to turn Africa people to God. And Branham said that they stoned Stephen, but they couldn't stop his message. on December 18 1965 Branham had a fatal car crash, he didn't die immediately, he was taken to the hospital, then he died after 7 days. My first sign was a long time ago which is, 2pac died on my birthday September 13, I didn't know what that meant to me, I didn't like it that 2pac died of course, but I didn't know how it related to me, I thought that it could be like him being reborn inside of me to struggle to make a change. The second sign was the Tupac Revelation story.

Now here's the third sign, the number three has come to me a lot. on September 12 2006, I was at my computer, I was reading a prank story supposebly by CNN, that they saw 2pac at a mall in Beverly Hills, California, and that they interviewed him, then I read on their page that it was a April fools joke, I wasn't laughing. After I was at my computer that day I called my grandma, then I asked her if she could come to town to bring me some food, then she brought me some food, I drew a picture three weeks before that, I wrote with a blue marker on the middle of a piece of paper, Bran, then I wrote 7 at the bottom of that, then I colored the letters blue, then I colored the 7 blue, then I drew a heart on the side of the 7, then I drew a heart on the other side of the 7, then I colored the hearts red, then I wrote on the hearts with a black marker, Love is the key. I wanted to give that picture to my grandma to put on her freezer door, so I gave that picture to her, before she left from bringing me food, after I gave thatPicture to her, I said to her that it says, Love is the key on the hearts, then she said that's right. There was a Bone Thugs N Harmony concert at The Blue Note here in Columbia, Missouri that same day, but I didn't have money to go, after my grandma left, on that same day, I was searching on the internet some more, then I decided to do a Google search for, is there any psychics that know if 2pac's alive, then I found Beatrice Marot's myspace page, I did the search for, is there any psychics that know if 2pac's alive, when I found the Tupac Revelation story, but I didn't find her then, She has a blog on her myspace page it's called, Tupac And The Mothership Connection, she talks about in that blog, when she saw 2pac in a dream, Beatrice said that it was more like a vision, she said that It felt very lucid, 2pac rapped to her, he rapped about her life, about her mission, she said that it's like he knew everything about her, including her relationship with Carl. at one point 2pac yelled out, L period O period E period, Let's Overcome Violence Everywhere, its never to late to stop the hate. She has talked to 2pac from the other side other times too. Another reason why I know that 2pac is not alive on earth in Physical body, is because his mom Afeni Shakur said that he's not. But 2pac's alive in heaven and his music lives on, and our memory's about him live on. In Tupac Revelation on Yahoo, it says that 2pac's in Cuba and in Tupac Revelation, it shows a picture with 2pac in it shaking somebody's hand, but the person that's in the picture shaking 2pac's hand, part of his arm is dark and the other part of his hand is light, so I think that that picture is fake, but the story about Branham is interesting, and I searched on the internet and Branham did exist, and his story is true. that summer I put duct tape around the circles above the keyboard keys, on the sides of the hood, then I spray painted them blue. That September 2006 one of Beatrice Marot's friends her name is Christian Williams, she posted a comment on Beatrice Marot's blog, on her myspace page, that blog is called, TUPAC AND THE MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION!, Then I looked at Christian's myspace profile, she had a blog on her myspace page about being vegetarian, I could relate to that, so I sent her a friend request, then she accepted my friend request. not long after that, I read about how a candida diet helps people with autism, on the candida diet you cant eat, yeast, dairy, sweets, ect, I bought me a candida supplement from Clovers health store, I took that supplement along with the strict candida diet, so that I could get rid of candida in my body, I felt better when I did that stuff, I felt more  focused, I had to stop the candida diet, because with my blood sugar I had to eat more. not long after that, I read somewhere that if you silently laugh at yourself then the problem goes away, I did that to see if that will help my mild autism and it helped a lot, eventually I wanted to find other ways to heal my mild autism without having to silently laugh at myself all of the time. One time I got a message from Christian on myspace, but the computer that I was using was so old that the message wouldn't load, so I left her a comment telling her that her message didn't load, then I gave her my email address.

In January 2007, I left a comment on the rapper that use to be a artist on No Limit Records his name is Mr. Serv-On, I asked him if he could leave a comment on my myspace page, then he left a nice comment on my myspace page and also that January I left C-Murder a comment on his myspace page, then he left a comment on my myspace page, he said wazaamp. Towards the end of that January I bought me a disposable digital camera from walmart, I asked my grandma to come take some pictures of me with my disposable digital camera, then she came to town to take some pictures of me, then she drove me to walmart so that I could get the pictures put onto a CD, then me and her got into a argument about something, then I got mad, then my grandma dropped me off at my house, the movie Friday was on my TV in my room, then I laid on my couch in the living room, while the movie Friday was on in my room, I had the TV on mute, I was laying on the couch, I was sad about how mad I got at my grandma, then I uploaded my pictures to my myspace page, then I went to sleep in my bed, then at 1:00am the next day I logged into my myspace page, then I saw that Christian left me a comment on my myspace page, she said, I hope that your staying warm and well, in one of the comments that she posted on my myspace page, she posted a picture of stars in the sky and there was another picture above that in another comment That said, co star is t standing for Jesus, then I told her thanks for the pictures, Christian is the daughter of a famous song writer, his name is Jerry Lynn Williams, he wrote Eric Clapton's songs, No Alibis, Running On Faith, Forever Man and he's written other songs for Eric Clapton and he's written songs for BB King, Bonnie Rait, Stevie Ray Vaughan and he knew Jimmie Hendrix and Jerry Lynn Williams was asked to be a band member in the group Little Richard when he was younger, that's some cool stuff, Jerry Lynn Williams is dead now. sometime after Christian posted the pictures on my myspace page, I took a closer look at the picture with the stars in the sky, and it looks like 2pac in one of the lights of the stars, I could see other faces in that picture too, it just looks that way I guess. On that day I looked in the mail, my 2pac t-shirt was in the mail, its a white t-shirt with a big picture of 2pac on it. that same year I got a email from a guy that said that he has the 2pac song, Thugs Get Lonely Too, the version with Tech N9ne in it, I found him on a forum on a topic that was asking if anybody knew where to find that song, people said that its really hard to find, but this guy said that he has that song, then I emailed him, I asked him if he could send it to me, then he said ya, then he sent it to me but it wasn't the version with Tech N9ne in it, then I emailed him to tell him that, then he said that he will send me that version, but he didn't. But on QD3's forum on my 2pac Branham and Bran 7 connection post, I asked QD3 about that song, then he said that that song is on a Sway and Tech mixtape, then he said that he will look for it. After that in a comment on my post, 2pac Branham and Bran 7 connection, on QD3's forum, somebody said that they have that song, then that person  asked me if I wanted them to post it, then I said ya, then that person posted a link to that song.

In February 2007, my dad came to visit my grandma,he came to my apartment to visit me, I told him that the krylon orange paint that I wanted to paint my car with is chunky, then he said put it in a bowl and whisk it, then I said, its to chunky, then he said or you can put the paint in a blender, then me, and him went to a bar downtown, he bought me a few screwdrivers there, then he dropped me off at my apartment, that was his last day visiting. in March of that year I put my fluorescent orange paint in a blender like my dad suggested, and I put water in it, that made it smooth, then I painted my car, I left a white outline around the letters, drum machine keys, circles and microphones, it was starting to look finished. Christian told me to meditate after she read my myspace blog, More of my life, in that blog I said that I was having a health problem, then Christian told me to meditate, she said that it will help me feel better, and it will adjust my energy, and she said that your body can heal itself, it will tell you exactly what it needs. After I meditated, I felt anxiety, I told Christian about it, then she said that it's apart of the process, that it goes away, its like riding a bike it can be a little frightening at first, but if I keep doing it I will find complete balance, then she said that there's nothing greater than being fully centered, and it will come. Shortly after Christian told me that I ordered a meditation chakra kit, it came with seven candles, seven contemplation cards and I found out that there's seven chakras in the body. That summer I went to a DMX concert at The Blue Note, it was tight.

That summer, I put duct tape around the circles on my car, then I painted them blue, I went to Boone Hospital Center to see what time I was born, somebody that works there said that she will mail it to me. I needed the time that I was born to give to someone, so that she could make a vibrational remedy for me. I got the time that I was born a couple of weeks after that in the mail, in July 2007 Christian told me about the book, The Secret, she said that she wants me to get either the book or the DVD. And she said that it is extremely positive. She said in a email that she sent to me on July 5, for me to meditate that this book will come to me for free because it will. Shortly after that I got a email from Doubleday Book Club, it said that I can order some books for .99 each, So I ordered the book The Secret, I had to order five other books, one of the books that I ordered is The Rose That Grew From Concrete, that's a great book, I ordered the books On August 7 2007 then I got them in the mail later that month, The Secret is a interesting book and I like the book The Rose That Grew From Concrete. In that August I ordered a vibrational remedy and spray, and I finally finished working on my car, there were keyboard keys on the back end of the trunk of my car too, with buttons above the keyboard keys, the buttons are blue, there's blue buttons above all of the keyboards on my car and there's white outline around them, that car is beautiful. I got the vibrational remedy and spray in the mail that September, it gave me more energy, but it didn't make my mild autism better, on September 10 2007, I walked to my car to go to a Bone Thugs N Harmony concert at The Blue Note, my car was blocked by a van, it was parked behind me. Then I went down stairs to ask my Neighbor if she knows who's van it is, then she said no, I had seen a guy earlier fiddling with the van window, there was plastic over it, I guess he was doing work down stairs, I couldn't find him, then I walked to The Blue Note so that I could see the Bone Thugs N Harmony concert, it was tight, at the end of the concert, there was music playing on the turn tables. Then the song Flashlight came on, that's a tight song, after Bone Thugs N Harmony got off of stage, a guy was talking on a microphone on stage, he was joking, he's funny, then I walked home, it was cloudy, I only lived like one or two miles away from The Blue Note, when I got back from the concert, my ears were ringing, and they ringed for like four days, when I walked into my room, my alarm clock was flashing. And my computer harddrive wouldn't turn on, I left my computer on when I left. I usually leave it on unless I go to bed, I guess that the power went off, I was frustrated, my harddrive didn't turn on a year before that, I walked to my living room to call my grandma to tell her what happened, when I tryed to call her the operator said, I'm sorry this phone is not in service. My ears were ringing so at first I thought that she said, that the person that I was trying to calls phone wasn't in service. But it was my phone, so I hung up, then I took my hardrive into my living room, then I saw a switch on the back of my hardrive, when I was sitting on my couch, then I flipped the switch down then up, then when I pushed the button on my hardrive it turned on, then I brought my hardrive back into my room, then I hooked it up, then I plugged my hardrive into the wall, then I pushed the button on the harddrive, then it turned on, then I checked my email, I got some emails from Christian, I loved getting emails from her, she always had nice things to say. I got my phone service back on my birthday, it was on auto payment, I guess that something got messed up, social security doesn't let me handle my check from them, so my sister Crystal handles that, even though I know how to handle that.

That December I went to a Ja Rule concert at The Blue Note, Ja Rule said on the microphone rip Pimp C, Pimp C Was found dead that day rip, I still enjoyed the concert though, later that month Crystal came over to bring a battery with jumper cables on it, then she noticed that the tags on my front license plate were expired, I didn't know that. my grandma knows a mechanic his name is, Mickey, I drove my car to Mickey's to get my car inspected, my grandma followed me, her brother Bob was with her, when I got to Hallsville, Missouri, I saw a police car with its lights on behind me. then I stopped at Mickey's, my car turned off when I stopped, that's what it did a lot, then the police officer said to me, I stopped you because your tags are expired, then I said, I'm here to get my car inspected, then he said, you can go ahead since you're here to get it inspected, then I left my car at Mickey's, later my grandma said that Mickey said, that there is something wrong with the engine block on my car, then Mickey towed my car to where I lived.

I had a dream on January 2 2008, in that dream I was in a class room, I was watching a movie, at the end of the movie at the credits, that's when I heard a song, it was a voice like Eric Clapton singing. It sounded like this, hope hope hope hope then I heard background singers, it sounded like background singers in a black church, they singed hope is what you got, that's the first time that I heard a song in a dream that I haven't heard before, that song sounds great.

I became a vegan that year, I didn't eat, meat, dairy, milk or anything else with animal products in it, I ate vegan turkey sometimes and I ate bean and onion burritos alot, with franks red hot sauce on them. Sometime that year I ordered a Three Lac supplement, I got that in the mail on March 3 2008, but it didn't work for me, so I sent it back for a refund, on March 25 2008 at 7:30am I decided to do a Google search to see if there's any miracle healers, because Branham was a healer, so I was wondering if there's anymore healers, I did the search before but I didn't type in miracle healer, but I did this time, then I found  John Of God, I read that he heals people. And that he does sessions in Brazil, three days a week for free, if he gives you herbs, then that costs extra, I found on Diana and Bob's website that you can send a picture and or a letter to him, and I read that if he puts a red x on your picture, then that means that you should visit him, if you don't need to visit him, then he will probably give you herbs and put you on a special diet. After I read about sending a picture and or letter, I was on Diana Rose and her husband Bob's website, then I looked up at my TV, then I saw Gary Busey, it was on the E channel, they were showing celebritys near death experiences. Then I emailed Diana Rose and her husband Bob who was healed of blindness, I asked them for photo and letter instructions, then I got a email back from them, it said that he gives bottles of herbs that are called passiflora. That's what the bottles of capsules with the Herbs in them, That my mom brought back to me from Brazil is, my mom went to see John Of God in Brazil. I don't remember hearing the name John Of God then. I asked Crystal if she could give me money so that I could order herbs from John Of God, then she mailed me a check in the mail, Crystal also told me that my mom did go see John Of God when she was alive, Crystal went to Brazil with her. I got the check in the mail from Crystal, on April 7 2008, then I ordered the blessed herbs that day, I put in my letter to John Of God that I want distant healing, and I said that I want to heal my mild autism, and I asked him in my letter, should I meditate while taking the blessed herbs, and I wrote that I have tried meditating but it made me feel anxiety, and I said That I think that I have hypoglycemia, and I said that I have a bloodsugar problem, and I asked, can I eat ketchup and garlic powder while taking the blessed herbs.

Then on Thursday April 10, I got a message from Diana Rose, she said that she got my pictures and my note, and she said that John Of God doesn't answer questions, and she said, you don't haft to do anything just let the miracle happen, and she said that I can eat ketchup and garlic while taking the blessed herbs, but you can't eat pork or eat anything spicy, I was a vegan so I didn't eat pork, and I was willing to stay away from spicy foods, I got the blessed herbs in the mail on May 3 2008. In the baggy that the blessed herbs were in, is a piece of paper with a red heart with my name on the piece of paper, a hour later I took one capsule of the blessed herbs with a cup of water, it made me feel good, and I had more energy, in the package is Paper it says when you're almost out of blessed herbs to order more from somebody that's going to Brazil to see John Of God, the next day I emailed Bob and Diana Rose, I asked them how long do I take the blessed herbs for, and I said to them that I can feel a difference already, then Diana emailed me, she said that her and Bob have been taking the blessed herbs for nine years, and she said that it helps them so much, then she said to me, I'm Glad that you can feel a difference already, then she said that the blessed herbs are specifically for your needs, then she said you will know if you will want to continue taking the blessed herbs, I had enough blessed herbs to last me until July, Diana and Bob were not going to Brazil to see John Of God until August, so I found another person that was going to Brazil to see John Of God, that person went to see John Of God on May 29 2008 and that person was going to be in Brazil in June 2008, I sent a money order and my pictures to that person on May 23 2008, a little later on after that that year, I went to a Tech N9ne and Paul Wall concert at The Blue Note, after the concert Paul Wall was sitting at a merchandise booth inside The Blue Note in the front, he was signing autographs, I reached into my pocket to see if I had enough money to buy a Paul Wall poster, but I just had a few dollars, then Paul Wall said  I'll give it to you for that, then I gave Paul Wall my money, then I got the Paul Wall signed poster, then I asked him can I get a picture with you, then he said ya, me and him shook hands for the picture, then I said much love to you, then he said fa sho, then I left. When I went to Walgreens to get the pictures on my disposable camera developed,.The picture with me and Paul Wall didn't develop, but I got to meet him, and I got a signed Paul Wall poster.

In May I went to a Willie Nelson concert, it was outside of The Blue Note, it was tight. that summer on July 2, I had a dream, I heard Christian sing falling angels, That was the chorus, falling angels, it sounds beautiful, I didn't hear that song before I had that dream, then sometime after that I remembered a song that I heard years and years ago, it's on one of Mia X's albums, that album is called, Mama Drama, there's a song at the end of that album, were a guy sings, fallen angels, but it wasn't singed the same way that Christian singed it, in my dream and I wasn't thinking about the song on Mia X's album, before I had that dream. I had another Dream later that month, I heard a country voice, it was a guy singing, the chorus sounds like this, you lose some, but then you win some. It sounded like another hit, I didn't hear that song before I had that dream, later that month on July 23, I had another dream, I didn't see Christian, but I heard her. She singed, I was sitting in the passenger's seat of my car, then I heard her sing through my car speakers, she singed a chorus, she singed yesterday. That was the chorus, it sounds beautiful. That August in 2008, I looked out of my kitchen window, then I saw a tow truck, somebody was towing my car, then I went outside, then I talked to the guy, that was towing my car, after I talked to him. He said have a nice day, then I walked away, I didn't say anything, Jeannie didn't want my car on the farm, and my landlord didn't want my car parked at were I lived with expired tags, later that month, I got a bulletin on myspace, that Columbia, Missouri rapper Stevie Stone was having a video shoot, he was signed to Ruthless Records at that time, now he's signed to Strange Music, I went to the Stevie Stone video shoot it was at mojos, the video was for his song, Wait A Minute, I was sitting down at a table at mojos, I was watching the Olympics on TV, then Stevie Stone walked in, then I walked to him, he was standing by a food booth, then I asked him, Stevie Stone, then he said ya, then we shook hands, then I said to him, I like your music, then he said thanks, then I walked back to the table to sit down, then the director told everybody to get together to sit down, then the director gave us instructions, then the video shoot started, the director told us to hold up our hands and sing wait a minute, then lean back, the video shoot was a fun experience. me not having a car sucked, I had to walk in the cold, hot and rainy weather sometimes.

In 2008, I listened to a tape that I recorded of me rapping, I recorded that tape not too long before I listened to it, when I listened to it my rap voice sounded different, it sounded unique, I wanted a unique rap voice, and now I have one, before when I rapped it sounded like I was talking. Sense nothing that I tried worked well with me for healing my mild autism, I decided to silently laugh at myself to make it better and it did. In Septemeber 2009, I went to Bone Thugs N Harmony concert at The Blue Note, it was tight. after that I stopped being a vegan, because I had cravings, I thought that I will become vegan again soon non stop, maybe I will. I wanted to buy me some studio equipment, so in January 2009, I bought me a studio microphone first.

On February 2, 2009, I went to a Kevin Costner and Modern West concert at The Blue Note, it was tight, after the concert, I met Kevin Costner at the back of The Blue Note. I saw him walking with lights flashing, and fans were around him, then I asked Kevin Costner, can I get a picture with you, then he said ya, then I held my disposable digital camera out for somebody to take the picture, then Kevin Costner said, somebody hafts to take it for him, then I asked a guy if he could take a picture with me and Kevin Costner, then he said ya, then he took the picture, then I said thanks to the guy that took the picture, then I walked home. in February 2010, I ordered a Tech N9ne vip package, then the vip package was delivered to me, in one of Tech N9ne's songs, the song is called, Show Me A God, he was like show me something supernatural, my 2pac Branham and Bran 7 connection myspace blog is supernatural, so I went to the Columbia Public Library to print it, then I gave it to Tech N9ne inside of The Blue Note by the bar, he read some of it, then he said, I will read the rest of it at the hotel, then I asked him can I get a picture taken with you, then he said ya, then I said to Tech N9ne, I need somebody to take it for me, then he asked somebody to take the picture, then somebody took the picture, me and Tech N9ne shook hands for the picture, then Tech N9ne said thanks for my 2pac Branham and Bran 7 connection blog that I gave to him, then I said yep, then I said, I like Jellysicle, that's one of his songs, then he laughed, then he said fa sho, then I left, then that night I went to his concert.

In July 2010, I asked my grandma if she could get a loan so that I could buy a car, I told her about sun loan, then she called them, but the payments are to expensive for her, but her bank raised the limit on her credit card, my grandma said that she talked to a manager at a car shop in Hallsville, she said that they were selling a truck for $800, so she bought that truck for me, I'm not a truck person but its better than walking and riding the bus, later that month, I went to a Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube concert, it was outside of The Blue Note, it was tight. that August I got pulled over for speeding, I stopped at a bridge, the police officer asked me, is there a reason that you stopped at the bridge, then I said, I had to stop, then he said are you ok, then I said ya, then I asked him are you ok, then he said I'm fine, then he said you look edgy, then I said I'm fine, then he wrote me a speeding ticket, then I drove to walmart so that i could buy me some food, later that week Crystal left me a message on my answering machine, she said that my landlord and his wife are getting a divorce, then she said that they are selling there property's, so you need to move out, then me and Crystal argued about it on the phone, I got a letter from my landlord after that, the letter said that I haft to move out of my apartment by October 1, 2010, then I asked one of my neighbor's if they haft to move out, then that person said, I don't know anything about it, so I think that it was just me, so what if my apartment was messy that's no reason to deny somebody a place to stay, the landlord could have just said keep your apartment clean or you will haft to move out, then I would have kept my apartment clean, I called my landlord, I told him that he hasn't got things done around here and I said to him, when I move into a new place I will save money.

On my birthday I had a problem with my truck, it stopped at white gate drive at the stop lights, I lived with my mom and Jason on white gate dr when I was younger, when I put the truck into drive it wouldn't go, but the engine would make noise when I stepped on the gas, then I walked to a gas station to call my grandma, then she said that she will call Micky, then Micky came and towed my truck, I found out that the transmission was out, I got a message from my grandma not too long after that, she said that somebody that lives with my aunt Jeannie, and my uncle Randy is a mechanic, then she said that he thinks  that he can fix it, so I was happy. on September 15, I went to Jesse Auditorium to listen to Sean and Collins Tuhoy talk, Sean Tuohy is the real dad that adopted the real football player from the movie The Blind Side and Collins Tuohy is the daughter of Sean Tuohy. The real mother portrayed by Sandra Bullock couldn't come, because she was doing, Extreme Home Makeover, she came on screen at Jesse auditorium telling us that she couldn't be there, because she's doing Extreme Home Makeover, she's nice, I listened to Sean and Collins Tuohy talk on stage, there whole family has big hearts.

That September Crystal found me a apartment at Briarcrest, its on Garth st, I started packing a day before I was going to move out, the next day I continued to pack, then I was done packing, then I left Crystal a message, I told her that I started packing yesterday, then I said, I'm done packing now, then she left me a message, she said that she doesn't see how I could have packed that fast, then she said, if you did that's amazing, her Aspen, Tasha and her boyfriend and Crystal's husband Travis and their friends came over that night to help me move, I was tired, we moved the stuff to Briarcrest, I said to Crystal when we were inside of the apartment at Briarcrest, that I will be be more happy about having a new apartment once I get some sleep, then one of the guys that was helping me move laughed, after Travis, and his friend dropped of my desk, like a hour after they left I was laying on my couch, then I heard something that sounded like fire crackers, then I thought, its the end of September, people don't usually light fire crackers at the end of September, then I thought that it was gun shots, when Crystal told me that the apartment is on Garth, I thought that it wouldn't be in the best area, because it's not too far away from the projects, I didn't think that there would be shooting though, I was scared that night, I couldn't sleep, and I left the lights on, I couldn't sleep, so I walked back to my old apartment to see if my modem was there, I couldn't find it so I looked in the trash outside, it wasn't there, but I found a box with my studio microphone in it and my The Secret book was in it and my The Rose That Grew From Concrete book was in it too and a bunch of my cds and maybe some other stuff was in that box and I found my tigers jacket and my Bulls jacket out there, I didn't get my Bulls jacket because theres paint on it, but the rest of that stuff I got, I don't know who threw that stuff away, then I walked to the gas station so that I could call Crystal, I left her a message, I told her what happened at Briarcrest, then I told her that I found a bunch of my stuff in the trash outside at my old apartment, later that day I walked to Crystal's house, then I told her again about what happened at Briarcrest, about thinking that I heard gun shots, then she said what, then I told her that I don't want to stay in that apartment one more night, then me and Crystal argued, then I got upset, then I slapped something that was hanging on the wall, then I walked out of the front door, then I picked up a wooden house that's on her porch, then I through it onto the ground, then Crystal said, do you want me to call the police, then I said no, then we argued more, then I walked away, then I said loud, there's only one of me and billions of you, then I walked away, then I heard my name being called, then I looked behind me, then I saw Crystal pushing a stroller with her baby in it, then I said what, then she said while she was crying, let's talk, then we walked back to her house, then we talked about our problems on the porch, we calmed down, then I said to Crystal, I wonder if Tasha will let me stay with her until I get a apartment, then Crystal said that Tasha is at my old apartment cleaning, then I asked her can you take me there, then she said ok, then she drove me to my old apartment, Travis was there painting, then I told Tasha what happened at Briarcrest, about me thinking that I heard gun shots, then she said what, then I asked her can I stay with you until I move into a new Apartment, then she said I don't know, i'll haft to ask my boyfriend, then me, Crystal And Tasha went to Tasha's trailer court to see about a trailer for rent, then Crystal called Gatehouse Apartments to see if they had any apartments for rent, then Crystal said that they do, Tasha let me stay with her until I moved into my apartment at Gatehouse Apartments, I slept on the floor in a little storage room with a TV on the floor, that week on Friday night after Tasha, and her boyfriend got back from a casino in Boonville, Tasha said to me, guess what, then I said what, then she said, you got a place to stay, Crystal told her that, then me and Tasha high fived, my stomach was hurting before that, and it still was.

I stayed with Tasha until that Saturday, then I moved into a nice apartment at Gatehouse Apartments, its only ten-minutes walking distance from walmart, Tasha, Crystal, Travis and Tasha's daughter Cierra helped me move there. sometime in that October, I got a email from Bob Baker, he's somebody that writes music and book marketing books, in the email it said to pre order his upcoming book Guerrilla Music Marketing Online and get your website url and your name in the special recognition section of that book, towards the end of that month I pre ordered that book, and I gave him my nickname, Bran 7 and my myspace url, for him to put in the special recognition section of his book, the first Guerrilla music marketing book from Bob Baker is in the movie School Of Rock. And Bob Baker said that music industry people will be reading the Guerrilla Music Marketing Online book. I was exited to get my nickname and my myspace url in that book. one time when I was living at Gatehouse apartments, I was walking to my apartment from Hy Vee grocery store, then I looked up at the moon while I was walking, then the moon moved to the left, then I stopped walking, then the moon wasn't moving, I don't know what that was, its more beauty of nature that God created. I didn't do much for Christmas that year in 2010, I was still recovering from me moving that past September, I felt depressed sometimes, the Christmas before that Crystal annoyed me, so I felt like if crystal or Tasha says something that annoys me for the holiday, I'm going to make a scene, I didn't want that for the holiday, sometime after that I drank beer, then I felt better. On February 12 2011, I got a email from Christian, she said that she could no longer talk to me because she has a fiance and because she's pregnant, I told her not to long before that, that I thought that one day we would be girlfriend and boyfriend and maybe get married, then I said whatever happens we can always be friends, because of the girlfriend and boyfriend and marriage thoughts that I had, she said that it wouldn't be appropriate for her to communicate with me, because she has a fiance and because she's pregnant and she said that she wants great things for me, I was very sad after I read that, I still got love for her and I want the best for her and maybe in the future we will communicate as friends again.

Later that month in February 2011, my grandma Had back problems, then she broke a bone, I think that it was in her back, then she stayed at Columbia rehabilitation center for a couple of weeks, one time when I talked to her on the phone when she was there, Randy was there, my grandma said to me on the phone, Randy wants to tell you somethen, then Randy said that he is going to bring my truck to me today, I was happy about that, I looked out my window in my room that day, then I saw my truck at the apartments across from were I lived, then I saw Jeannie's car parked in that area, then I walked towards Jeannie's car, then Randy got out of the car, then he said to me from a distance while I  was walking towards him, he said, you live over there huh, then he smiled, then I said ya, it was nice to have my truck back, I went to the Columbia Rehabilitation Center to visit my grandma soon after that, Randy was there too, a week after that my grandma sounded out of it, now she's staying with Jeannie and Randy, she doesn't sound out of it anymore. a little bit after that, when I coughed I felt a bone on my left ribs pop, it hurt, I had a hard time moving, then I drove my truck to Crystal's house, I told Crystal what happened, then I asked her if she could drive me to the hospital, then she said ya, then she drove me to Bone Hospital Center, I got ex raid, it was nothing serious, they prescribed me some pills. One night after that that year, I was at a stop light by walmart to go to my apartment, then my truck stopped running, my truck ran out of gas, then somebody stopped in there car, then he asked me, do you need me to push it, then I said ya, then he pushed my truck down the hill, on the other street to the side of the street, by the parking lot at walmart, then I told somebody that works at walmart what happened, then I asked that person if he could push my truck to the parking lot, then he and some other people that works at walmart pushed my truck to the parking lot there, the next day I asked Jeannie if she could put some money from grandma into my bank account, because my truck was out of gas, she handles my grandmas money now, my grandma gives me money when I ask her for it, then Jeannie put money into my bank account that day, then I put gas into my truck, the battery went low from me trying to start it, then I asked somebody to charge my battery, then somebody charged my battery, then I drove to my apartment, sometime after that that day I looked in the mail, the Guerilla Music Marketing book with my nickname Bran 7 and my myspace url in the special recognition section of it, was in the mail, then I opened the package in my apartment, then I looked in the special recognition section of that book, then I saw my nickname Bran 7 and my myspace url, in the special recognition section of that book, I was happy about it.

In April of that year in 2011, Leila Steinberg posted a link on her Twitter page, Leila Steinberg was 2pac's first manager, and 2pac lived with Leila Steinberg when he was younger, I clicked on the link that she posted on her Twitter page, the link went to a website its called, Truth About Tupac, I posted my 2pac Branham and Bran 7 connection story, in the forum on that website, me, and the owner of that website became friends, the owner of that website his name is Asher Underwood, In June 2011, I went to a Bone Thugs N Harmony concert at The Blue Note, Bizzy Bone was there that time, it was tight. On August 12 2011, I posted a you tube video with the song, A Change To Come in it, then Asher left a comment on that post, he said that he likes that song, the next day when I woke up in the wee hours in the morning, Asher's girlfriend Melissa left a comment on a link that I posted a while before that, the link went to Beatrice Marot's myspace blog, TUPAC AND THE MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION! then I got a message from Asher Underwood, he asked me how did you find out about Beatrice Marot, then I said its in my 2pac Branham and Bran 7 connection post, then he said I'm about to haft to re-read it, then he said that he talked to Beatrice Marot for two hours last night, which was August 12, and he said that she even did a reading, then he said that he may meet her tomorrow, Asher also told me that it was a true blessing to be connected with Beatrice, and he said that she was doing some incredibly accurate astrological readings for him and his girlfriend Melissa, then he said, if I didn't post the link to Beatrice's myspace blog, TUPAC AND THE MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION! Then Gbo wouldn't have told him about it, just in the nick of time and Asher Underwood told  me that he lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico too. towards the end of April 2011 I went to paquin tower to see if I could get a application to live there. if I lived there that would save me a lot of money, somebody that worked there said to me, that I get the application from somewhere else, then I went to go get that application. in June 2011 I was watching the news, they said that tornado weather is coming our way shortly, then I looked out of the window in my room, then I saw a cloud that was hanging down low, it looked like a tornado cloud, I didn't see a cloud as spooky as that before in person, I saw that cloud, then the tornado siren came on, a tornado didn't touch down though thankfully.

In June 2011, I gave Crystal my paquin tower application, she had to make copy's of stuff for me in order to return the application, she did, then she turned in the application, in the summer of 2011 I had the air conditioner on, then Crystal told me that my air conditioner bill is to high, Crystal got a expensive electric bill it was more than I could afford, she told me that I had to move somewhere cheaper, that summer in 2011, I was deep frying chicken wings in a medium sized pot with a lot of vegetable oil in it, when the oil boiled with the chicken wings in it, it was boiling almost to the top of the pot, then the stove caught on fire from the vegetable oil, then I poured water on the fire but that didn't help at all, then I walked out of my apartment, then I walked down the stairs thats outside of my apartment, then I saw somebody, then I asked him, can you call maintenance my stove is on fire, then he said I will call them, then maintenance came running, a guy from maintenance went inside my apartment to look, then he tried to open the glass door that the fire extinguisher was in outside of my apartment, he had a hardtime opening it, so he broke it with something, then he put out the fire, it was Smokey, then maintenance opened my windows and put a fan in my apartment, to blow out the smoke, then maintenance took out the stove and oven, then they brought me another stove and oven, I'm glad that the fire wasn't worse, after that happend I read that pouring water onto a stove grease fire can cause the fire to spread.

In August 2011, I think that I saw a ghost, sometimes I sleep with my eyes open, I saw something that I haven't seen before, it was a chubby black women sitting in my wooden chair at my computer, she was holding a notebook and she was holding a pencil or a pin to the notebook, I haven't had a dream with a ghost in it before that, it felt like my eyes were open, I have seen a video with a ghost in it, it was like that, but it was a different person, mabe its a eyes open dream, i dont know. one day in August 2011, the electricity in my apartment turned off, because I owed the electric company money for a air conditioner bill, that was on a Monday, I called Crystal that day, I told Crystal about the electricity, at one point in that conversation, I said, hopefully I will get into paquin tower in a couple of months, then she said that she talked to somebody, then she said that paquin tower has a long waiting list, then she said that I wont be able to get in paquin tower until January, that week on August 25, The last thing that I did to make my mild autism better is, I read somewhere that if you silently laugh at yourself, then the problem goes away, two years before August 2011, I decided to laugh at myself silently non stop, it worked great, I didn't haft to worry about taking more supplements. I must have laughed at myself silently non-stop for two years. I don't know about when I was sleeping but when I was up it was non-stop for two years. I laughed at myself silently most of the the two years, except for the five times that I took little breaks, when I stopped silently laughing at myself I felt foggy like I use too. Then on August 25 2011, I decided to stop silently laughing at myself, me silently laughing at myself caused me to breathe hard a  lot, I decided to finally take a short break from silently laughing at myself, but when I stopped silently laughing at myself, I didn't feel like I use to when I had mild autism, I I didn't feel foggy, so I haven't silently laughed at myself since the wee hours of that morning, im healed. later that day Crystal left me a message on my answering machine, she said that she talked to a manager at paquin tower, then she said that the manager at paquin tower has a unit available for me, then she said that I can move there in the middle of that September of that year, I was exited.

On September 11 2011, I walked to the pay phone at Hy Vee gas station, then I called Crystal, then Crystal told me that Tasha is coming over tomorrow to help you move to paquin tower and she said that Tasha is going to give the manager at paquin tower a check, I was happy that I was moving to paquin tower the next day, that was sooner than what I thought, because Crystal said that I can move to paquin tower in the middle of September, the next day which was September 12, I walked to walmart so that I could return some pliers, so that I could have money to put gas in my truck, so that I could drive it to paquin tower, then I walked back to my apartment, then I saw Tasha standing in front of my door, then Tasha asked me where have you been, then I said, I walked to walmart so that I could return some pliers, so that I could have money to put gas in my truck, then Tasha helped me move some stuff, then she drove me to paquin tower, me and Tasha sat down to wait for a manager at paquin tower, then me and Tasha went into the managers office, then she showed us around paquin tower, her name is Beth, then we got on a elevator, then I asked Beth what's my apartment number, then she said 311, then I smiled, then I said like the band, then Beth showed us my apartment, then Tasha dropped me off at my old apartment, then she said, me and my friend will try to come over later today to move your big stuff, then I said ok, then I walked to my apartment, I had a feeling that Tasha and her friend wasn't coming to move my big stuff that day, so then I walked to Crystal's house to wait for Travis, so that he could help me move my TV, I didn't like lifting heavy stuff because of a health problem, I was in Crystal's house eating a casadilla, then I saw Tasha drive in the driveway, then Tasha walked in the door, then she asked me what are you doing here, then I said I'm waiting for Travis so that he can move my TV, then she said Travis isn't going to be here until six, then she said that her and her friend are about to go to your old apartment to get your bed and TV, then she said I will be back to pick you up, then I said ok, then she came back to pick me up, my bed and my TV were in the back of the truck, I sat in the back of the truck, then Tasha drove me to my apartment at paquin tower, then Tasha and her friend moved my bed and my TV on a dolly, then they brought that stuff into my apartment, then I said thanks you guys, then Tasha said your welcome. living in that apartment at paquin tower, leaves me with $350 a month for me, where before I don't think that I even had $30 a month for me, out of my money, I couldn't get my money until February 2012 though, because I owed Crystal and Travis money. The manager at paquin tower didn't want my truck parked in the parking lot at paquin tower, with my tags expired, so I drove my truck to Crystal's house, then I left my truck there.

Around that time I called my grandma in the managers office at paquin tower because I didn't have Magic Jack phone service yet, it was a nice talk. At the end of that September in 2011, I saw Colbie Caillat in concert at The Blue Note I enjoyed it. In November 2011 I was searching on Facebook search, to see if I could find my half sister Erin and my half brother Tyler on Facebook, I wasn't sure if there last names are Napier, because my mom told me when I was younger that there last names were going to be changed, but I decided to try to search for Erin Napier on Facebook, then I found Erin Napier, I knew that it was her because in her  family section it shows Tyler Napier and it shows her mom Lyndlee who I recognized, I sent Erin a friend request and a message after that, I didn't here anything from her and she didn't accept my friend request, at first I was afraid to send Tyler a friend request, because he was very young when I last saw him, so I didn't think that he would have remembered me, my Facebook username when I sent Erin a friend request was, Branseven Isme, Facebook wont let me put the number 7 after the Bran, so I had to use Branseven Isme as my Facebook username, I sent Tyler a message and a friend request, he didn't accept it, he was probably confused and sense I wasn't using my full name, maybe Erin and Tyler thought that I was somebody else, so I changed my username to my full name, then I sent Erin another friend request, she accepted it in December 2011 and Tyler sent me a friend request shortly after that and I became friends with their mom Lyndlee on Facebook, me and Tyler messaged eachother a few times on Facebook, I will meet him sometime, I didn't hear from Erin, hopefully I will hear from her sometime.
