Journal #11- Oct. 11, 2023
Happy Wednesday!
I am still currently working with Ms. Schiavo and Ms. Altan to determine whether I should proceed with my original West Contra Costa County retail theft article.
The Pinole Police Department responded to a public records request I had made, but did not specify which arrests in the past three years could be directly attributed to retail theft, due to the limitations of their record system.
Stay tuned for further details!

The 2023 Hater's Guide to the West Region
This blog is not in any way affiliated with the NCAA, its entities, subsidiaries, or member institutions. This is a humor site and should be treated as such. We’re all on our way out – act accordingly.
1. Kansas (28-6). When Texas beat Kansas to end the Big 12 (8?) regular season, the intrepid videographer shooting the game happened to catch a KU coed wearing a t-shirt which read “I (heart) Dick.” A-fucking-mazing. Look, I don’t have to tell you KU fans need this one seed, need the wins, need a title more than anything to justify their continued existence. They live in Kansas for fuck’s sake – Interstate 70 ends in Lawrence and you are stuck wandering the plains like Denzel Washington in Book of Eli until you reach Colorado, and the interstate magically appears again. There is NOTHING to do here other than watch basketball, and that says a lot, because I live in Iowa!
2. UCLA (29-5). This is a Bruin, right? With that face, I am 100% sure his name is “Crick Monin.”
3. Gonzaga (28-5). There is a new Constitutional amendment which clearly states you are no longer allowed to refer to Gonzaga as a Cinderella school. It’s been twenty five years - I think the slipper finally broke. They’ve now been in every final AP poll since the 2008-09 season, and have appeared in every weekly AP poll since 2016-17, a streak of 115 consecutive weeks. I will never stop laughing when eighth year senior Drew Timme appears on my TV screen. All I see is TIMMY from South Park. Fuck John Stockton.
4. UConn (25-8). Go back to the AAC! Biggest group of crybabies in the country and it isn’t even close. When their women’s team had an injury plagued season (lost five games including back-to-back games for the first time in 30 years), Geno Auriemma vented to the media and to his team, telling them they had three days before the conference tournament to fix things. Then he got in his car and drove home to Manchester, wishing he could continue westward. “The way I felt was I want to wake up in California in three days,” he said. “I just want to keep driving, I don’t want to do anything, I don’t want to come to practice.” Jesus man, just fucking quit already and move away from that awful place. Twitter account CrimsonCast put it best: UConn continues to fail to shake the perception that they are simply an analytics darling. Like an east coast version of the Mountain West.
5. Saint Mary’s (26-7). Every bracket, no matter the site, always lists this school as “Saint Mary’s (CA).” Why? No one is confusing this school for the archaeological dig site posing as a university in Maryland, or the all-women’s college in north-central Indiana where many of the enrolled students play for nearby Leprechaun U, also known as Notre Dame. No, this is the school – in California – that gets exclusive coverage on ESPN Australia/New Zealand. Sixty percent of the student body is involved in organized athletics here, so it’s a good chance you’ll be handed a scholarship and some sort of ball upon move-in. It’s either that or forced labor washing jockstraps.
6. TCU (21-12). Their coach gives out a pair of “charge socks” when a Horned Frog player takes a charge. There’s a big bucket of these colorful dress socks in the TCU locker room. Charge socks? You have to be kidding me. You are in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, you can’t find a bag of blow or an extra couple of c-notes for your athletes? (Producer cuts in…garbled static…). Pardon me, I’ve just been informed that the “C” in TCU stands for “Christian.” There is no cocaine on campus. But NIL is legal now, surely you can find something other than a pair of sweaty dress socks to reward your unpaid employees. Perhaps a sad handjob from a coed who has already put on the freshman 15+15+15?
7. Northwestern (21-11). Congratulations, you finished top three in the Big Ten for the first time since 1960. You won your last conference championship 90 (!) years ago. You have made one (1) NCAA tournament and had to be retroactively selected as something called the Helms National Champion. Your most successful head coach played for Phog Allen at Kansas – in 1917! Northwestern basketball is the definition of futility. They are the Chicago Cubs of the NCAA; fitting for a program that markets itself as “Chicago’s Big Ten team” (insert jerking off hand motion here). Even if Northwestern won 25 games a season for the next 25 years, they would still have a losing record.
8. Arkansas (20-13). It is against state law to mispronounce “Arkansas'' while in the state, yet their residents pronounce jalapeno “Holla-PEE-no.” Gun to my head, I wouldn’t be able to look at Sarah Huckabee Sanders naked, playing with a hula hoop, for more than a second.
9. Illinois (20-12). Brad Underwood is a bargain-bin Gene Keady who is very upset about “booty ball.” Every press conference he attends ends with him making a wet fart sound into the microphone.
10. Boise State (24-9). No one gives a shit about this team unless tater tots rise to $6 a bag – then it’s time to storm the blue court. I know exactly one person from Idaho and their personality matches that of the official state produce. This person is incapable of being corrected. They are always right. You are always wrong. If you say the sky is blue, their response will no doubt begin with “well, actually…” Boise is also not a state, you arrogant fuckhead.
11. Arizona State (20-12) or Nevada (23-9). Over 60% of the student body at ASU has some form of herpes. Unless you are a model, they throw you in an engineering building for four years. If you hate Duke just like the rest of America, you generally hate Christian Laettner and Grant Hill. But there’s one player from those early-90s teams everyone forgot: Bobby Hurley. As I’ve aged, my hatred for Hurley has waned, but I’ll always wish maximum pain for whatever team he coaches.
With the growth of legalized sports gambling across the United States, the University of Nevada has introduced several new classes for the 2023-24 school year: Kneecap Relocation, Intermediate Hammer Smashing Techniques, and Advanced Vig Calculation. Another new course addition as of Thursday morning: Getting Your Shit Pushed In By A Sun Devil Pitchfork. Too soon? Probably.
12. VCU (27-7). VCU stands for Very Completely Underwhelming. This isn’t a college, it’s an industrial laundry that has tricked 28,000 students into paying the institution to “work.” If you want a perfect example of the bloat in higher education administration, consider there are over 11,000 non-academic staff at VCU. Never trust a doctor from this school; they only practiced on centaurs.
13. Iona (27-7). Someone is going to give Rick Pitino the best 14 seconds of his life to coach for them.
14. Grand Canyon (24-11). By employing buzzer-beating Valpo alum Bryce Drew, this pretend university has already accomplished more in the NCAA Tournament than Mount Rushmore State, Hoover Dam U, Smokey Mountains College and SUNY-Niagara Falls.
15. UNC Asheville (27-7). Let’s have a quick check-in on how this college is doing. Student enrollment and retention are plunging at UNC-Asheville and top leadership is departing at the highest rate in the entire UNC system. While overall student enrollment in the UNC system has increased 7% since 2015, UNC-Asheville fell by a stunning 25%, the largest drop among the 16 public universities in the system. Of the incoming students UNC-A is able to attract, a high number of them leave before graduation. Retention of students, measured as those returning for a second year of school, is now just 68.6%, the lowest in ten years. Jesus, even Trump University would laugh at these numbers.
16. Howard (22-12). Howard students recently had to protest living conditions in on-campus dorms – mold, mildew, and rats are apparently very commonplace in multiple residences. It is 2023; the only sensible reason these alarming conditions should be issues on your campus is when you have outsourced every part of the student life experience to a call center in the middle of the Himalayas.

FLP POETRY BOOK OF THE DAY: Vestiges by Jacob Minasian
PREORDER NOW: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/vestiges-by-jacob-minasian/
In his first full-length collection, Minasian stretches poems into seasons, everyday moments into epics, and encounters with the natural world into portals to a reimagined Greek Mythology. Beginning in 2019, and splicing between the narrator’s past in California and present in Ohio, he explores the dichotomy of the two environments and the division in the country around him. Part memoir, part social commentary, Vestiges charts the months that become the storm before the storm, the fractures widening into canyons.
Jacob Minasian received his MFA from Saint Mary’s College of California, where he was the 2016 Academy of American Poets University and College Poetry Prize winner. He is the author of the chapbook, American Lit (Finishing Line Press), and his work has appeared in publications including Poets.org, The Museum of Americana, RipRap Literary Journal, Cathexis Northwest Press, CP Quarterly, and Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California by Scarlett Tanager Books, among others. Originally from California, he currently lives with his wife and daughter in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he teaches at Cincinnati State.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Vestiges by Jacob Minasian
A book of seasons and a sense of an age—a soldier turned into stone, a hawk with trash in its talons, a long-absent father’s visitation—are we in Ohio, or California, or ancient Greece? Holding up the mirror of Greek myth to the current American moment, Minasian considers the patterns that entrain or sustain us. Vestiges‘ sharp, observant poems explore the old (new) story of resistance and movement, change and homecoming, “the invisible channels skating between realities.”
–Mary Cisper, author of Dark Tussock Moth
Jacob Minasian‘s ambitious book, Vestiges, is an incredibly engaging first full-length poetry collection written for our dystopian times. Set in the eight months ending in the 2020 impeachment hearings, the collection explores both the personal as well as the big issues including climate change, overly divisive politics, and our crass modern materialism. Using an inventive structure, each section contains close observations constructed carefully with intriguing wordplay. Minasian’s interest in re-imagining the classics, whether Greek mythology or poetic forms like the haiku sequence and the crown of sonnets, is integral to his poetic vision. A vision that sees the troubled world as it is, borrows from a mythical past, and generates a work which somehow provides hope for the future.
–Ross Belot, author of Moving to Climate Change Hours

Ryan Kyle Coogler (born May 23, 1986) is a director, producer, and screenwriter. He is a recipient of four NAACP Image Awards, four Black Reel Awards, and an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.
He made his feature-length debut with the independent film Fruitvale Station, which won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award for US dramatic film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. It won at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, for Best First Film.
He has since co-written and directed films such as Creed (2015), and Black Panther (2018), the latter of which broke numerous box office records and became the highest-grossing film of all time by an African American director. He co-wrote and directed its sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).
His work has been hailed by critics for centering on often overlooked cultures and characters—most notably African Americans. In 2013, he was included on Time’s list of the 30 people under 30 who are changing the world. In 2018, he was named the runner-up of Time’s Person of the Year and he was included in the annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world.
He and his wife, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian founded the multimedia company Proximity Media to create event-driven content across various platforms.
He was born in Oakland. His mother, Joselyn (née Thomas), is a community organizer, and his father, Ira Coogler, is a juvenile hall probation counselor. He lived in Oakland until age eight when the family moved to Richmond. He ran track and played football. He went to Saint Mary’s College High School. He attended Saint Mary’s College of California on a football scholarship as a redshirt wide receiver, intending to major in chemistry. The football players were encouraged to take a creative writing course.
After Saint Mary’s canceled its football program, he transferred and earned a scholarship to Sacramento State, where he grabbed 112 receptions for 1,213 yards and 6 touchdowns. He obtained a BS in Finance and took as many film classes. He was accepted into the three-year master’s program at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where he made a series of short films. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

ABOUT ME
My Name is Julian Ali Green (J.A.G) a graphic designer based in Los Angeles California. I received my B.A. in graphic design at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College on an athletic scholarship where I cultivated my foundation in adobe applications. My background in collegiate sports as a volleyball player led me to design the school's official softball poster through my internship with the marketing communications department. I conceptualized and designed all my projects for the school with my background in studio art. I approach graphic design through the lens of a studio artist with my training in drawing composition and color theory. I seek to capture the fluidity and rawness of painting and drawing digitally through hand drawing fonts and symbols in illustrator. The values of J.A.G design is to communicate through complexity, subversion and emotion.

Journal #10- Oct. 9, 2023
Greetings, followers!
Although there is no class today for the UC Berkeley campus, as it is Indigenous Peoples' Day, I spent some time looking into resources for my retail theft in Contra Costa County story.
I've spoken with a reserve detective/PIO for the Hercules Police Department; Hercules is a city in my coverage area of West Contra Costa County. Ms. Connie Van Putten shared some of the theft issues that retailers in Hercules, such as Rite Aid, Lucky Supermarket, Big Lots and Safeway, are facing. She also highlighted a change in law that reduces theft under a certain amount from a felony to a misdemeanor.
This is good information that can be used in my story, but I still need more details, especially statistics relating to thefts in my coverage area.
I certainly want to stick with this story, but if I am unable to obtain additional information, I may have to either steer it in another direction or perhaps even begin looking into another story idea.

FLP NOVELLA BOOK OF THE DAY: The Places Between by Jacob Minasian
On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/the-places-between-by-jacob-minasian/
In a #near-future world where extreme #weather events blanket the earth, the remaining human population is forced to move and adapt, guided only by an automated radio weather transmission. The Places Between follows these scattered journeys of survival. Journeys impeded by darkness and cruelty, and driven by hope. Minasian writes with a lyricism and brutal clarity, rendering layered characters who must navigate the horrific manifestations of nature, and the wickedness and barbarity of humanity itself. With chapters that stand alone as their own short stories and also intertwine to create a larger overarching narrative, The Places Between explores the human condition when pushed toward annihilation.
Jacob Minasian received his MFA from Saint Mary’s College of California, where he was the 2016 Academy of American Poets prize-winner. He is the author of the full-length poetry collection Vestiges (2023), and the chapbook American Lit (2020), and his work has appeared in publications including, among others, Poets.org, The Museum of Americana, RipRap Literary Journal, Lucky Jefferson, Windows Facing Windows Review, CP Quarterly, Red Ogre Review, multiple anthologies, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Originally from California, he currently lives with his wife and daughter in Cincinnati, Ohio.
PRAISE FOR The Places Between by Jacob Minasian
“Jacob Minasian writes of disasters with a poet’s careful eye.”
–Marilyn Abildskov, author of The Men in My Country
“With a keen eye for describing only the details that matter, along with an ability for capturing accurate dialogue like a Sony microcassette recorder, Jacob Minasian explores lives intersecting at points of hope and cruelty, despair and kindness. The Places Between reminds us to always push forward in the face of brutality, that fighting to live another day is a victory in and of itself.”
–Jeff Chon, author of Hashtag Good Guy with a Gun and This Is the Afterlife
