To Save My Mother
I am always thinking about my mother. My father was having affairs, for decades, and he was leaving her and living other places. After my one year at my second college, the Appalachian Bible College in Bradley, West Virginia USA, 2006 - 2007, I returned back to the same trailer that I was born and raised in, which is at Rose Grove "Ghetto" Mobile Trailer Park Community: 3839 Pacific Avenue Space Unit # 163 in Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon, United States of northern America.
I gave my mother the money (almost $2,000 USD) that I earn from the Camp Kuratli during that summer of the year 2007, when I was 22 years old. I was there to save the life of my mother (Marilyn Mitchell of Restore Main Street).
I promised to stay with my mom for at least a year, so that I could support her. I felt conflicted when I saw the opportunity to do Revolution Hawaii. I told my mother about my conflict and I said that I would still honor my commitment to her, but she told me that she would be fine. So, I ended up doing Revolution Hawaii after getting the blessing and approval of my mother.
My mom reunited with her high school friend, Bill Williams Cunningham, and they moved all of her things to his house in Shelton, Washington, United States. My dad helped carry things out of the house. My dad ended up living there after my mom moved out. My dad still lives there. My mom marries Bill in November of 2008. I walked her down the aisle. Bill died in 2011 I think. My mom married Larry Mitchell in 2012. I was not there for that.

Pocketball
Pocketball.
When I was 19 years old, in 2004, during my last year at the Forest Grove High School, home of the Vikings, for my required Senior Project, I invented a game, a sport, that is like pool with pool balls, similar to carpetball (gutterball), and I named it Pocketball. My church friend Paul Walker served as my so-called mentor, mostly to get me out to around Banks, Oregon USA to the farm house of the Hoefts out in the countries where we spent weeks constructing a 5 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet high of a table made of wood. I was taught about how to use power tools for screws and for cutting wood. I also had experience in wood construction from my Woods 1 & 2 classes in high school. I also had a welding class back in ninth grade in the year 2000.
I donated this Pocketball table to my Community Baptist Church in Hillsboro, Oregon. The pastor was Bill Gasser. They kept the table downstairs in a room near the youth group rooms so that the children and youth can play it. They kept the table there for several years. i am not sure what they did with it.

Economics Class
Economics Class.
When my favorite classes at my one and only Forest Grove High School (FGHS) on 1401 Nichols Lane, in Forest Grove, Oregon, United States, was my Economics Class where I was able to officially meet high school president African-American Kari Herinckx. She taught us to Mix It Up. Try new things. Sit with different people during lunch. Meet new people. I typed out an Encouragement Article (EA) for her. I said that she has chocolate noodle hair.
In the Economics Class, we learned about the supply and demand grid. I previously took a Marketing Class with Mr. Kunkel, which has model friend Katie Dober in it.

Woof, Tyler, Rick, Williams, at the Beach
Woof, Tyler, Rick, Williams, at the Beach.
This was our last family reunion of this exact chemistry and size. This was during the summer of the year 2002. Almost every year, our aunt and uncle, Karen and Jim "The Woof" Williams, would pick a lucky member or two or more of the Arnold family and take them off to their house in Warrenton, Oregon, United States, which is near the Pacific Ocean, the beach, Seaside, Astoria, Tillamook.
We have some of this recorded on my then camcorder. I let Tyler play with my frog. Tyler is the son of my cousin, Nathan Williams. My Aunt Karen Williams is the sister of my mom. My dad played basketball with my Uncle Jim "The Woof" Williams in high school in southern Oregon and at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon United States. Nathan and Alan Williams are the two only sons of Karen and Jim.

Rediscovering Tiffany
Rediscovering Tiffany.
In 2001, when I was 16 years old, me and Bill Bailey decided to look for our childhood friend, Tiffany Cumbo. I first met her in 1990. We have not seen her since she and her family moved some years back. We looked in the yellow pages which has last names, addresses, and phone numbers. It may have taken a few days but we found her during the 2nd or so week of August 2001 I think.
I had my camcorder. I recorded our time that day, since it was an interesting reunion that I will not forget. It was the last time I caught her on my camcorder, but it turned out that the video was not working, and so you cannot see her or anyone on those VHS video-cassette tapes from 2001, since the camcorder had a broken video door. I would use duct tape to keep it close.
I was 16 years old when I found her again.
She was 16 when I lost her again, that is when she died in 2003.

Cat's Life
I filmed the TV series called "The Cat's Life" which is a documentary fantasy home-video series that star our kittens as they go on a quest to find their mother, like a reverse of Finding Nemo and Saving Private Ryan.

I Want It & I Want It Now
In 2000, I made an hour-long stop-motion toys and stuff animal featuring Arnold Attic 163 feature presentation film called "I Want It & I Want It Now" which stars my pet guinea-pig Ra Ra Hercules Roberto, which is not to be confused with his girl-friend, the former Oreo whom I accidentally smashed by sleeping on her (my guinea-pig friend) after sleeping with her.
This live-action film is about a father, Ra Ra, and his relationship with his rebellious teenager son, who is played by action-figure 9-year old Anakin Skywalker (the Phantom Menace version of Vader).
Anakin struggles with the mysterious disappearance of his own mother, Miss Piggy, when he was only 3 years old. In real-life, my mother was hit by a car when I was 3 years old, and she almost died.
Anakin did home-schooling until he was 15 years old, when he demanded that he attends public high school, as I actually did in real life.
Ra Ra objects that they teach God-cursing evolution in public schools. Skywalker turns and says something like, "But where was God when mother was taken by the Rick Arnold Hand monster, which stars a fifth-grade school-photo of my one and only older brother with the same name, Rick Arnold.
The disappearance was still semi-mysterious since they knew nothing about the hand monster.
Skywalker gets picked by some local bullies, but Ra Ra comes to sort of save the day by making a dare. They made fun of them, saying that God is not real and that Ra Ra has no brains to believe in organized religion.
Ra Ra answers, if God is real then it will rain here, and then clouds started arriving. At the first drop, Ra Ra poops his pants that he doesn't actually own.
The stuff-animals all asked Christ to save them, as the Christian music rolls them all into a theoretical sunset that you cannot see but can certainly feel if Jesus is your home-boy.

Cool Kid in 1999
Cool Kid in 1999.
I was playing basketball at our park, which is a few houses from my house, or I mean trailer. This is in my neighborhood, the Rose Grove, in Forest Grove, Oregon USA. I was playing with white-skin Randy, Joe, and brown-skin Hispanic Elder. It started raining. I slid in the rain with my sneakers but I made some shots. They would call me kid. They would see me do things and they would say cool. I was a kid. I was cool. You put the two words together and that is what they started calling me. Either Randy or Elder named me the Cool Kid. Later I would have other nicknames like Ghetto Joe, Joe Dirt, Tweety, Joe Cool. Randy, his brother Joe, and Elder did drugs sometimes. They may have went to jail a few times, or I am not sure.

Best Friends 1998
Best Friends 1998.
This may have been the first year that I started making the Best Friends posters, which included pictures that I drew of people, friends, family members, that I have met in person, and it included characters from Star Wars, the Power Rangers, and the Lion King. I would basically make it look like a group photo, like as if I could get all these people to be in a picture together. I think I made one for the years of 1999 and 2000 but I may have stopped after that. I may have only made 3 of these posters, just for those 3 years.

Power Rangers Kids Sequel
Power Rangers Kids Sequel.
I started filming the sequel to our hour-long 1996 live-action parody film Power Rangers Kids. The nemesis in the first film was Lot. In the sequel, the new nemesis was Loxx Catt, which was played by our cat Puffer Cat who ended up being murdered that same year of 1997 I think. This may have the same camcorder that my dad bought my brother back in the 1st or so of February 1996, or eventually our dad got us another one, but both of them had problems and I never finished the sequel. I recorded a few minutes for the sequel while my brother was at school, but I think he did not want me to use the camcorder or I am not sure what was happening.

My older sister, Katie Jean Arnold, got me to play the big bad wolf in a bear mask from cousin Alan Williams (or at least he recognized it once), my younger sister Crystal to play the little red riding hood, and Lisa Evers as the mother and grandma of the little red riding hood, during the day after our dad came home with a camcorder for my brother's birthday which is on the 5th of February 1996.
We made the Little Crystal Riding Hood in the afternoon of Friday, the 2nd of February 2013.

Bill & Janet Bailey
Bill & Janet Bailey.
My younger five year old sister, Crystal Ann Arnold, brought me to our park to meet her new friends, Bill & Janet Bailey, which was expected since she was meeting dozens of people from that moment on. This may have been the year that I met them, or it was 1994. Bill Bailey was my best childhood friend, which makes Tiffany Cumbo my second favorite, and Janet is possibly the 3rd favorite. I did Revolution Hawaii in 2007 - 2008. Janet ended up doing Revolution Hawaii as well some years after that. Janet follows Christ, but Bill and their sister Lisa Evers does not.
I kind of felt like we were enemies at first. They lived in trailer number 39. I lived in 163. I went to their trailer but was scared of their dog who kept on barking. Janet or Bill said that their father has a bow and arrow that he may use on me if I do not leave. I am not sure what was going on. They ended up going to our house that same day and I gave them a tour. I was friends with Bill until like 2004 or so. I last saw Janet in 2012 or so.

Star Trek Voyager
They said that the Star Trek Voyager was going to be better and faster than the Enterprise from the Next Generation (STNG). I was a fan of the STNG. I would watch Voyager at 8 or 9 PM on Wednesdays after Awanas.
Voyager premiered on Monday, the 16th of January 1995.
My mom would watch it with me as well.
We also watch Nowhere Man.
I later started watching Smallville sometimes.

Brian and his son, Brian, and his other son, and his wife, lived next door to us, in unit 164. In 1993, Bhakti & Juya Sa moved in and they started climbing our tree. Their ancestors may have been from India or something. I would play with them all of the time. They lived with their sister and younger baby brother and mom and dad. They did follow Hindu or something. They started going to our Cornelius Community Baptist Church in Cornelius, Oregon, USA. Their dad was abusive. In 1994 or so, they suddenly moved to their grandparents house, or relatives, in Seattle, Washington USA, in order to get away from their dad. The father may have sexually abused his own daughter.
They were one of my favorite childhood friends of all time, alongside of Tiffany & Michael Cumbo, and Bill & Janet Bailey.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches
Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches.
Before I was Oatmeal, I was the Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches (PB&J) Boy, because I would always make myself some like a few each day and our neighbors would say something like, "Every time I see you, you are eating one of those." I may have been caught picking my nose a few times. Is tarted to stop that around this time in 1992 when I was 7 years old. The father, at the trailer next to us, in unit 164, built a play structure, which had a fort, swings, slide, and a few things like that. I enjoyed going there to play with the kids, Brian and Erin. Tiffany Cumbo started like dating Brian, which kind of made me jealous.
I was eating lots of spaghetti in 1991 when I was 6 years old. In 1992, when I was 7 years old, I started eating PB&J. in 1993, when I was 8 years old, I started cooking and eating pots-full of oatmeal.

Black Or White
Fox showed the Michael Jackson music video Black Or White on television on Thursday: the 14th of November 1991. This was the first Michael Jackson video that was aired by Fox.
I remember watching this on TV, and I was excited to see Magic Johnson and Michael Jackson, and their love story in Egypt, even through I knew little about them at the time. Wait, scratch that, I am thinking about the music video Remember The Time. I also remember Black Or White which also starred the boy from Home Alone.

Tiffany Rochell Cumbo
Tiffany Rochell Cumbo.
My Uncle Jim "Woof" Williams were playing tinker-toys with us. I do not remember seeing Nathan or Alan or even Karen. Jim was showing me how to build cool ships or buildings or something out of tinker-toys. He left. I continued playing. I was at my 163 trailer in Rose Grove, Forest Grove, Oregon USA. That same day, or on another day, I left the kitchen counter, where I played with tinker-toys, and got onto my red scooter. I went towards the park. A young 3 year old brunette girl said, "Hi, what's your name?" I quietly said "Joey" since I was so shy until like college or so. She may have been the first female friend of mine. In 1993, when I was 8, I drew pictures of marrying Tiff, but she would always have boyfriends, we were just friends, and Tiff died on Saturday, the 5th of April 2003.
Back to the first day that I met her, when her mother came home, Tiff told her mom, "Joey is my boy friend." Her mom would say, "No he is not." Yes, he is. No, he is not. Me & Tiff went to my house to get some of my toys. I even pulled her in a red wagon. We went into the yard next to her house and buried some some of my toys.
Before that, right after I first said hi to her, we played a Batman & Robins version of tag on my scooter and her tricycle around her parents car. We would play with each other almost everyday for years. One time, while playing hiding and seek, Tiff hid in the trunk of my dad's small orange car. We may have pretended not to find her. Dad drove us to the 5 days long daily summer Vacation Bible School at our Cornelius Community Baptist Church in Cornelius, Oregon USA. She got home around 8 or 9 PM. Her parents seem to be mad at her because she was out too late. She cried to the leaders during the prayer time because she felt that she was going to someday move and that means losing your old friends.

In 1993, when I was 8, I drew pictures of marrying Tiff, but she would always have boyfriends, we were just friends, and Tiff died on Saturday, the 5th of April 2003.
Back to the first day that I met her, when her mother came home, Tiff told her mom, "Joey is my boy friend." Her mom would say, "No he is not." Yes, he is. No, he is not. Me & Tiff went to my house to get some of my toys. I even pulled her in a red wagon. We went into the yard next to her house and buried some some of my toys.
Before that, right after I first said hi to her, we played a Batman & Robins version of tag on my scooter and her tricycle around her parents car. We would play with each other almost everyday for years. One time, while playing hiding and seek, Tiff hid in the trunk of my dad's small orange car. We may have pretended not to find her. Dad drove us to the 5 days long daily summer Vacation Bible School at our Cornelius Community Baptist Church in Cornelius, Oregon USA. She got home around 8 or 9 PM. Her parents seem to be mad at her because she was out too late. She cried to the leaders during the prayer time because she felt that she was going to someday move and that means losing your old friends.
