Say no to salad and pizza

Sometimes, saying no is good, sometimes it is bad, especially when you are going to eat salad and pizza. Sometimes, just saying no will hurt someone so I don’t push the no button very quickly. When, I am drained and don’t want a fight, I give in. Most of my goals are something I have to contend with. They have nothing to do with other people’s agenda. We have to eat so I just give in to food and think of my goals and say, there is always tomorrow. I procrastinate, but when it finally comes down to the nitty gritty, I will go out and get what I need. Food can’t wait because we are always hungry so I give to people wanting to go here and there, but I try to make time for my goals to flourish, such as writing lyrics and practicing drums and singing lyrics a little. As long as I can stay on top of the creative part of my goal. I am doing fine. I have to practice every day, to bury the anger I feel for this injury. So playing music is my goal. There is nothing interfering with this not even salad and pizza, just saying. The goal is still pretty alive. Thank you for reading.

A real tangent

Finding the hidden path that was lost so many years. These days, are filled with me in my head time. It is time to think of a better way to do things. Or do I keep hitting my head against a wall and go back to the same way of doing things? Whatever I choose hopefully it will be for the best. I have plenty of time to think things out, and try to make something happen out of nothing.

Well, when I was younger I never would’ve guessed I would be walking with a gimp and my left arm paralyzed. My left arm is my dominant arm, which sucks, but life happens now I need to pick up the pieces of this life and make it work somehow. Hopefully, God will show me the way because I am at a loss at what to do. Hopefully the universe will open and boom it will happen for me. Thank you for reading.

Thrive at night

Nighttime is mostly when I am awake. Don’t get me wrong, I do like some of the daylight times, but in Tucson, it is likely too bright or too hot during the daytime. So that is why I thrive in the nighttime. When the temperature outside is cooler, it is around 70 degrees.

Now, in the winter, it is a lot colder, such as 30 to 50 degrees, even in the teens sometimes, which is way too cold. I usually don’t go out when it is really cold, especially when there is wind eeek.

But. In that picture, taken in the fall. It was perfect weather, 70 to 80 degrees. That is perfect  weather for me. I thrive in that weather. Thank you for reading.

A long time ago;

When I was in my twenties. I went to Pima Community College. I took Algebra 2 with this fantastic teacher. She taught math and Algebra just the way I liked every teacher to teach math. She used real life experiences to teach math, which was quite amazing. She explained algebra to the class that really clicked with me. Then, she was always available after college classes were done. So if I didn’t understand her explanation she would further explain the problems to me so I could understand them. Her explanations of the Algebra problems was the only reason I would ever pass math. This great teacher is Ms. Armenta. She is dynamite.

I was good at Algebra and Algebra 2 but college Algebra gave me problems because I took the class without this teacher. Plus, it is more word problems which gave me problems. I wonder if I would have taken college Algebra with Ms. Armenta, would I have received a higher mark. Well, I don’t know. It would have probably given me problems because of the word problems. Thank you for reading.

Something I like

This beer is really good but it messes me up really hard

Something I would like to do more is drink alcohol because I am not too familiar with the different alcohols, such as Patron, which is Techila. I would like to just try it, just once. Or maybe just a hard drink. I have tried Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, but beyond that nothing too hard. When I was younger. In Nogalas Mexico, my family and I went to a restaurant and on the table, there was a shot of Techila. I had an ear ache, so my step dad said drink the Techila. I drank the Techila and my ear ache disappeared. It was weird.

I drink sometimes beer, such as blue moon, Modelo, or Pacific Calico. The funny thing is that I always go to sleep when I drink one beer. I am a light weight. Maybe it is good to be a light weight because I definitely don’t want to be an alcoholic. That would suck. Maybe get a little hammered and go to sleep and wake up hopefully without a hangover. That would suck too. Well, this is what I should do more of. Thank you for reading.

A tattoo that makes me feel better.

I would get a lion tattoo because walking around with my disability is very challenging because people look at me weird. I have a limp and a paralyzed left arm, so I look like I have major problems. I have to have thick skin to not feel depressed by people treating me as I am less than a person.

So I rise above it and grow like a lion and say this is me, like it or not. I am doing things my way and there is not much you can do about it. If, people knew what really happened to me they would be amazed that I am alive. Thank you for reading.

Going off topic:

All the time I play along with these questions and now I forgot what compliments anyone has told me about something I wore or something about me. As far as I know, I did have someone compliment my smile, but that was a long time ago. I am a lot older now and wiser, so I usually don’t get compliments. I did have one person on Facebook compliment my beard. That was cool. So for recent compliments that wins. Thank you for reading.

Drive all the way:

In the United States,there have been way too many airplane crashes. With the most recent, being where an American airline plane crashed into a helicopter and killed everyone aboard. Also, forget Bowing airlines because they always have a problem with their planes. Delta airlines also had a problem with their planes, where it crashed too. So flying right now may not be the safest route. I was watching the news and I saw one plane catch on fire so no plane for me

Trains can derail and kill a bunch of people, especially Amtrak trains. I think it was a few years ago a train derailed and killed people and I am too antsy to be on a train. I would want to be doing something.

So driving is the best idea for me. Especially, when I get a good cup of coffee and some good tunes on the radio. I can go a long way. Thank you for reading.

This is the image I would see. The moon.

Gleam in the light

She walks into a room. All eyes are in her. She is like a mama bear trying to teach her cubs how to act when they are grown. She is very persistent and doesn’t take no for an answer. She always works for the best that her students can produce. She has taught many students over her some thirty years of teaching. She is none other than my Aunt Gracie.

She is a teacher with a long history of teaching kids, who thought they could not be anything, but with her guidance and support she is able to turn their lives around. She has a lot of confidence and knows what children need. With her methods of teaching, she has worked with many students and with her belief in their potential. Some of the students went on to achieve great success. My Aunt Gracie is the most confident person I know. Thank you for reading.
