WHERE I'VE BEN!: Updating my life Jan-July 2021

My Name is Ben Green,...and this is "Where I've BEN!"

Peace & Blessings! I have been very busy living my life as an adult. These past 7 months have been an adventure. My wife and I sold our home and had to pack up over 20 years of stuff. I sold my DJ Equipment during the Winter daze and even sold our basement freezer during a Snow Storm. As our house sold in May, we were also Blessed with a Grandchild!!! Thanks to the purchasers who saw value in our Refurbished and slightly used items. We also managed to find a new humble abode nearest our Grand Baby.

#TRUSTTHEBOSS

So Summer hits and plans were already set to have an immediate Family Reunion with the newest member. July was packed with a Road trip to Virginia Beach. We chilled at a family friends place known as, "The FrogMan". Here's a Hint...the house is owned by a former US Frogman (African American) who invested well. History will continue there with more family to come!

I look forward to sharing more of, "Where I've BEN!" with my vignettes and full length Videos!!!! Stay on point and and let's continue to be safe!!!

WHERE I'VE BEN: CoVid-19 TESTING

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherBenG) — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 01:05:00 +0000

My Name is Ben Green,...and this is "Where I've BEN!"

This Episode is about how I and my wife, scheduled CoVid-19 Tests and took the test in a Drive Through Center in Clifton, NJ. I learned how to swab my nasal Passages so that my test can detect whether or not I have any traces of the Corona Virus. To prevent any surprises in your life, I would suggest that you get a Free CoVid-19 Test. Go to:

#BLACKOUTDAY2020

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherBenG) — Thu, 28 May 2020 00:13:00 +0000

My Name is Ben Green,...and this is "Where I've BEN!"

Do you remember and still participate in Black Solidarity Day(BSD)? I do. Just in case you forgot or never heard of BSD, please review:

THE HISTORY MEANING - https://mytruesense.blog/2015/11/02/the-history-and-meaning-behind-black-solidarity-day/

And BSD is more 50 years old...it continues to mean a lot to the Black Community!

TURNS-50 - https://www.nypl.org/blog/2019/12/13/black-solidarity-day-turns-50

The first Monday in November has been sacred to me as a young black child growing up in the 60's and 70's. Its awareness became less and less pronounced and announced in many communities and families, but I remembered. Then on various Social Networks I see this - NATIONAL BLACKOUT DAY 2020 aka #BLACKOUTDAY2020!!!

Hold up wait a minute!...Wuh? Wha? Who? How?, did I miss the email? Text? Phone Call?

What caught my eye first was the Media HashTags!!! It looks good, appears to be a good thing, and then I actually read it, and my INTELLIGENCE really kicked in. Wait- - Why does this sound like, "Black Solidarity Day" with a twist. Don't get me wrong, the concept is not new but in this day of getting Communities to come together for a "GOOD" cause put this #blackoutday2020 on Skid marks and I don't mean the ones in your underwear!

First it says, "This is a call to action!!" - O.K. , what's the action? DO NOT SPEND A DOLLAR (if you're a Black Person)!!! So this is when my stupidity kicked in and asked, "So is spending more than $1 acceptable? Ya know, like $3.50? $5.00???. Then you extended the offer outside of the Black People (Calling for Action!!) and included Africans, Native Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics...(ALL people of color.) So now is it #MeltingPotBlackOutDay2020? or MultiCulturalBlackOutDay2020? Where did you get your data from? By not spending $1 Dollar, It's going to cost WHO? $10,684,931,506.80 - To the Penny! REALLY?!!!! The next time a person of color gets shot!...Have you been in 'Da Hood?

How do we cash that in ??? It's interesting you chose July 7th, 2020 and not the July 4th weekend(When most Americans spend their $$$$$$$$$$), and July 7, 2020 falls on a Tuesday. Then you end your "CALL TO ACTION" by encouraging us that this will show, "REAL action that they fear". Who are we trying to put FEAR into by not spending $1 dollar and uniting???

Here's the B.I.G. question...,"WHO is behind this movement?" Not - ABC, CNN, FOX, FOX5NEWS, nor MSNBC, CBS, NBC, WWOR, WPIX. The fact that the latter were left out and not one but two of FOX's Media were listed...Hmmmmmmmm. If I was born yesterday, this wouldn't bother me but in this age of TRUMPISMS, RUSSIANISMS, some (not all) peole want to turn America back into - - - into - - Well, you know where I'm going - and I am not even slipping into that Historical Darkness!

So I put my college education into use and did some research, I mean CoVid Life as an Educator allows my brain to focus on what's REAL and what's FAKE?? The smelled like 3-Day old diapers sitting in the Kitchen garbage pail....yep, SCHTINKY!!

Just like BSD, #BLACKOUTDAY has a history. "Blackout Day launched on March 6, 2015, and after December 21, 2015, is scheduled to be held on the sixth day of every third month, starting with March 6, 2016.^[1] " Hmmm, and yet it's just hitting the social nets more in 2020! "The event was conceived in early February 2015 by Tumblr user T’von Green.^[2] Green noticed that there was a lack of black representation on social media, specifically on Tumblr." Since then T'von Green (No relation to me!!!) has since become - GHOST! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_Day].

Someone else picked up the Baton! Believe it (or Not!) his name is - Calvin Martyr.... CALVIN MARTYR!!! What? You don't recognize this name either?

Check his bolistics:

#BLACKOUTDAY2020. – Calvin Martyr

https://www.calvinmartyr.com/home

#BLACKOUTDAY2020 Marching Orders

https://youtu.be/bH4elLqBT0s

What I like about this young man:

* His passion

* His concepts

* His presence

What gives me the Screw face:

*His Name...Martyr???

*He never says his Name though he has Media with his name on it.

*Is he a one man band? He dogged the "So-Called" Black Leaders...!!!

BTW- when Qurantine time hit the US, THAT stopped and cost the nation. At this time in the World, what business (Multicultural) can truly afford to NOT make any more money coming out of the July 4th weekend???? Why not during Christmas? NYE?

I will keep a side-eye to this and pray it's a movement and not a RE-movement.

Where I've BEN!: Education

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherBenG) — Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:19:00 +0000

Happy New Year! Habari Gani! Prosperous Años! Peace and Blessings to you. It has BEN a Rigorous 2016! I have ventured from a daily License challenging Classroom with a hint of student ignorance-attack/set-up-the Teacher environment, to a healing summer of unemployment.

During my Summer of 2016 I recall how I searched all summer(2015) for that job! This time my search was beyond Education and a bit more towards Communication. In order to truly be happy I had to be invoking some of my technology in whatever I did!

Technology assisted me with getting an interview for my next job. The job listing was INDEED online and it required that I submit a Portfolio. What a better way to demonstrate my technological experience than to submit a Digital Portfolio!

http://sites.google.com/site/mrbig3portfolio/

This led me to one of the best changes in Education that I've felt and experienced. I became an employee of another public school district and this time had better promises than my last district (small charter school). I became a Replacement Teacher for a Gifted and Talented program.

That's the beauty of having a varied experience in Education. I spent (7) years as a Substitute earning my stripes in the NPS District.! Once I started my Alternate Route program, the rest was going to be easier...(at least I thought!). My added step to acquire a Masters of Science degree in Education paid off in the long run. I constantly use the various Web 2.0 software to help teach and teach students. My Broadcasting experience helped me to teach S.T.E.M. Just at the peak of my S.T.E.M. Teaching experience my role changed. Good-bye S.T.E.M., ..."Hello Kindergartners!"...

Look for my next post- - - Kindergarten my next adventure!

My Holiday Blessings!

Yes the Sun has risen and the morning has brought it's glow, but nothing has stopped over thousands of Educators from descending on to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Teachers, Administrators, Businesses, and educational software companies are about to experience the 2016 NJEA Teacher's Convention.

My journey began aboard the Vamderhoof Bus which departed from the Redwood School in West Orange, NJ. Departure time was scheduled for 8:00am but we gladly got on the road minutes later.

Thanks to the ECEA union and NJEA for presenting a Bus and the Convention in Atlantic City, NJ.

My Name is Ben Green,...and this is "Where I've BEN!" Peace & Blessings, well if you don't know by know I am going through a transition. A lot awaited transition, Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually. I have been preparing my body since November 2014, and my mind has been on track since then also. My wife Rhonda and I have changed our eating habits (cooking fresh foods and eliminating unnecessary fats and sugars) and have been getting in shape courtesy of Leslie Ingram Personal Training business. On Thursday May 28, 2015 I took a giant step and cut off my head of Locs that I have been growing since 1992. It was a promise to myself that when I have achieved the ability to received my Certification in Teaching, I would cut off my locs as a testimony of a new beginning in my life. Rhonda and I along with two other colleagues have challenged our lives and are currently experiencing the LANDMARK life experience program where we are awakening the authenticity of ourselves and plan to accomplish our life goals without being distracted by the bad choices we have made in our current and past lives. We plan to prosper and grow much further then where we are now...."Don't believe me just watch!".

So the day had come and I had to get ready for my knee surgery. See this all began when I started to have pain in my right knee. While walking up and or down steps I experienced sharp bolts on the side of my knee. As a teacher this became a nuisance, but even more it slowed down my ability to dance while doing DJ Gigs.

After an few X-rays, and an MRI the Doc said,"You should have that cyst removed to avoid additional pain!". With my 7th Marriage anniversary days away and a trip to California soon to follow what is a man to do?...SCHEDULE THE SURGERY! So, two days after my Vacay, surgery was eminate!

Note to anyone who is deciding on whether to get surgery...talk it over with family, and then get it done.

HURRICANE SANDY: The Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherBenG) — Tue, 07 May 2013 00:21:00 +0000

My Name is Ben Green,...and this is "Where I've BEN!"

Hurricane Sandy, which was officially re-classified as a post-tropical storm shortly before landfall, caused heavy damage along the New Jersey shore, and caused the most extensive coastal flooding event in modern-day New York City. Much of the subway system in lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn flooded, along with transit stations in adjacent areas of New Jersey. The storm was responsible for killing at least 131 people, 48 in New York City alone, and it was the second-most expensive hurricane in U.S. history, behind Hurricane Katrina in 2005. [http://www.climatecentral.org/news/hurricane-sandy-unprecedented-in-historical-record-study-says-15505]
This week I share with you the impact of Hurricane Sandy on my family and the communities in Newark; East Orange, Glen Ridge; Livingston, West Caldwell, New Jersey.

The Re-Education of Benjamin Green

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherBenG) — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:37:00 +0000

As a student I learned from many teachers. As a teacher I am learning from many students. Learning is a state of mind. The state of education is changing right before my eyes. I realize that my eyes have not deceived me....but the process of becoming a teacher can be. Allow me to alter that statement, the process can be daunting but the process of getting hired...now there in lies the problem.

My educational journey (towards becoming a teacher) began in the fall of 2007. Before committing to become a substitute teacher, I volunteered my time in the classroom. It was here that I truly began to embody the essence of teaching. I chose Early Childhood as my grade levels to observe and to learn from. It wasn't long before I started the process of becoming a substitute teacher. This was the beginning of the Re-Education of Benjamin Green....(part 1)
