Happiness comes in spirts

Happiness comes when I drink coffee and play my drums and eat a salad or sing a lyric. I can’t really play the drums the way I want to because I live in an apartment, so I do it very quietly. One of these days, I will be able to play my drums with gusto and sing like I should, but for now I need to be quiet because my neighbors are so close. I try to respect that.

Yet it also comes when I am asleep in bed because then I don’t have to think about this injury that happened. When I sleep, I dream of far places , such as the moon or space. Sometimes I don’t even dream,  I am more content under the covers and not dreaming of nothing. Thank you for reading.

Dreaming of the moon is perfect.

Last thing I did to play and was fun

Many people have different things that they do for fun or play, such as playing sports, tennis, basketball or even baseball. They also may swim for fun or go to the beach or take a walk or hike a mountain or go for a drive. There are many things people do for fun or play.

My favorite thing to do is to play drums on my drum set. I play drums and may sing lyrics that I wrote. Lyrics about all kinds of things such as my disability or the anger from being shot in the head, such as Burning Fire. They are fun to do. I write lyrics about all kinds of things, such as Eyes in the Sky, being stars are like eyes in the sky. Writing and playing my drums and singing lyrics are ways I have fun. Thank you for reading.

Boom boom in the cart.

I like energy foods. Foods that give me energy for the day. That is where the boom boom comes from. Energy is what drives us to do great things, if we are tired or lack energy it could be that we are not making a healthy choice to eat right.

Apples are one food that gives me a punch of energy and is loaded with magnesium and low in sugar that is why it is the perfect food for me. There is also fiber and 85 to 90 percent water so they are hydrating.

Carrots are another food I cannot live without because they help me see better because there are antioxidants in them. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and compounds that promote a healthy lifestyle.

Bananas are loaded with potassium and triptiphon which is a sleep aide, but they say if you eat two bananas you can workout for 90 minutes which is interesting.

Spanish is a leafy green that is packed with vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium, folate, and fiber, which makes for a healthy gut.

Pears which are loaded with fiber, which is great for a healthy gut.

Some other runner ups are broccoli, cauliflower, romaine, kale, and purple cabbage.

In conclusion, my five grocery choices are;

Apples

Carrots

Bananas

Spinach

Pears

Describe a man who has made an impact on my life.

This man made an impact on my life. My grandfather made an impact on my life at a young age. He was the father of my mother. He taught me about having a work ethic. When I stayed with him and my grandma I would go to the ranch and feed the horses and we would plant some seeds. We grew corn, watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew, tomatoes, and chili peppers. He taught me how to make food grow on a ranch. It was hard work, but the end product (the fruit or vegetables) was worth all the trouble.

My time with my grandfather was cut short because of my cousin shooting me in the head. After my injury, I was very tired and had  only one arm and a gimp. I could no longer do the work on the ranch. I was replaced. He eventually passed away, God rest his soul, but he taught me about having a work ethic because everyday we would go to the ranch at the same time, work at the ranch, then come home, which is similar to what I do today. I work some then go home. My grandfather was a big inspiration for me to enjoy work, even if it is hard. I enjoy working. Thank you for reading.

My life is a lesson right now!

Money is tight, I always have bills due because my car costs a fortune and where I live costs a lot too because realtors from California came in and bought up the apartment complex where I live and more of them. They raised the rent to a grand which is too much for me.

I am probably preaching to the choir because probably right now, everyone is feeling the  pain of rents going up. Everything now is very expensive compared to last year. Inflation doesn’t stop no matter where you live. Food, gas, more expensive, even though they say it went down from last year, but my pocket book has still taken a hit. So everything has gone up and I am worse off than last year. I have to work harder to pay things off, such as debt. Thank you for reading.

Wish upon the moon, that I have better days ahead.

I learned this the hard way and it is terrible.

The thing I learned the hard way was interest on a credit card sky rockets, if I don’t pay the whole thing off each month. I leave a balance on my credit card, which is bad because that is how I got into debt. Now I’m over my head in debt. Trying to stay positive that one day I will be able to pay it off, but for now I am stuck in debt.

So lessen I learned when dealing with credit cards, try to pay them off every month so interest doesn’t build on the debt. Or, if you can help it, don’t get one at all. It is a hassle dealing with debt, especially disabled. Thank you for reading.

Cities I would like to visit.

I would like to visit Tokyo to taste their wonderful sushi and go there because it is a different culture than The USA.

Another city I would not mind visiting would be New York City because I would like to see just how fast New Yorkers walk. Plus, I heard the pizza is very good.

In conclusion I would like to visit Tokyo and New York City. Thank you for reading.

One thing is for sure, the moon looks the same wherever you go to a point. There may be some variations, but generally it looks the same, vibrant and beautiful.

One thing to say!

I hope people say that I could make a delicious salad because salad is good for me and I can never go wrong with eating salad. Vegetables are much better than meat because too much meat can clog the arteries with grease and cholesterol, and eating vegetables just goes better because they clean out your gut. Thank you for reading.

These two salads were delicious, with romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, spinach, purple cabbage, and kale.

First time feels like the last time.

When I started high school at Rincon a long time ago. They introduced me to a person who showed me where my locker was, where my classes were, where the cafeteria was,  and just the whole campus in general.

Once I figured out where everything was I never saw the boy again, but I made friends quickly. I generally hung out with people who were a little different because I am a little different too. Most of them were rockers who liked heavy metal music, which is what I am into. It was awesome hanging out with them because we would talk about music every lunch time.

My first class was Algebra and it was very abstract and it was a little challenging, but after a while I got the concept and I did pretty well at it. My last class was English which I excelled in because even back then. I loved to write. Thank you for reading.

It is that time of year, Micky and Minnie seem appropriate at this time.

I have performed on stage and have done numerous speeches.

A couple years back, I used to go to open mics (a place where I can sing or play shaker,bl or play drums in front of people, for fifteen minutes and there is no money exchange. It is just good old fun). So, I performed on stage at Sky Bar and some other open mics. I usually play my shaker and sing some songs, mainly about my injury. Plus I did gigs with a band at some local bars here in Southern Arizona. I sang a song and played drums. I have done numerous gigs with my shaker back in the day, with a group called Widows Hill.

I have a bachelor’s in social work so I did plenty of speeches about social concerns such as child abuse, family discord, domestic violence, and other social problems.

I used to work at the Blake Foundation’s traumatic brain injury program as a service coordinator, which means I provided a link between service providers and clients. In that program, I gave speeches about my traumatic brain injury and how it affected me. Some speeches were better than others, but I got through them all right. Thank you for reading.
