I'm not sure what to say about that house. It's possible it was a weekend AirBnb rental, and it's possible that it was some kind of open house in the area, and he just filmed himself walking in so he could give the impression to the internet that he was renting it. It was remarkably clean, to the point that it didn't look "lived in". The bed was made, and there was absolutely nothing sitting out on the tables, shelves, etc, except for a Starbucks coffee cup and a cap, both of which I assume belonged to Martin. Given the lack of any other humans present, I have to imagine that he rented it for a few nights, perhaps for the specific purpose of making a video implying it was his home.
One interesting thing about the home on the video was that it had an "iHeart Music" display sitting on the TV, with the caption, "Introducing music on demand!" That's a strange thing to have sitting on your TV on a place where you live. Why would his TV be left on, sitting on a channel advertising iHeart Music? It wasn't a commercial, but rather something which sits on the screen until you act on it. To me that looked like something which pops up by default on a TV at a Airbnb rental, and they leave on for the renters so they can play music with it. I'm guessing Martin had just gotten the keys to this nightly rental, dropped his hat and cap on the end table, walked back out, and did a video of himself walking into it.
But it appears he really was just living at a crackhead weekly motel for the year. That's why he was able to bounce so quickly and go to Vegas like a nomad. There was no lease to break!
As I also mentioned, Martin has not connected to PFA with a computer in quite some time. I believe his computer was either sold, stolen, or no longer works.
For all his posturing of, "I could set up a website anytime which would destroy this shithole", it's all in his imagination. He has no computer and can't set up anything.
Martin's present existence involves wasting away at a crackhead motel, with an iPhone being his only connection to his precious online life. I have also made it quite difficult for Martin to lurk on PFA now, so don't expect him to read this. It's possible he will find a way around it, but probably not for awhile.
It is pretty clear to all of us that Martin relapsed into alcoholism, and perhaps something even worse. He's an angry drunk, so all of his resentment towards me comes rushing back, and he forgets everything nice I did for him in the summer.
Why is there such resentment? I can only guess at this, but I'll post my theories in the next message....
