Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.
In this blog, I will describe the most ambitious diy project I have ever taken on. Hair cuts in the United States have gone up a lot with inflation. I remember when they were $12 or $15 to cut my hair. Now, they are about $30 with a tip.
So the most ambitious DIY project I have done is buzzing my hair and almost making me bald. My sister helped a lot, but it was better than paying $30 for a haircut.
This is my quarantine haircut. It was the best haircut because I didn’t have to use that much shampoo or conditioner. I just could get up and go. It was nifty.
I will probably do another one in the future soon. I need a haircut.
In conclusion a haircut was the most ambitious Diy project I have ever done. Thank you for reading.
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
In this blog, I will talk about a word that I would permanently ban from general usage, which one and why?
This word makes the whole thing worse than it really is. It is really not bad. Women cannot help who they love. A man can try to change a woman’s mind, but ultimately the heart wins.
I am talking about lesbian. I don’t like the word to address women who love women. It sounds worse than it is. Why can’t we just call it what it is. Women that love women. That sounds a lot better than lesbian. I am not trying to offend anyone, if someone likes the term than be it. It is just lesbian sounds like a disease or a disorder. Women who identify that way are definitely not a disease or a disorder. It is just my interpretation of the word. It does sound worse than it is. I really think we should find another word to address women that love women.
In conclusion, if I could ban a word from general usage. It would be lesbian because it sounds worse than it is. We should change the way we address the whole thing and call it “Women that love women.” I am just saying. I am not trying to offend anyone. Thank you for reading.
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
In this blog, I will discuss the biggest challenge I will face in the next six months. Hopefully in America it is not war in the next six months. That would be awful, but you never know. We are bombing Houthi rebels in the Red Sea for attacking our ships there. Hopefully, that won’t escalate into a war. Hopefully, we don’t get involved with the Russian and Ukraine war or the Israel and Gaza war, more than we are. Hopefully, North Korea doesn’t gang up on the US and start a war because these wars are real and we could be dragged into them in the next six months. Hopefully not though. Hopefully, I am just acting paranoid and nothing will happen in the next six months. I watch the news and they always say that Israel is commiting genocide by killing 29,000 people or more. That is very frightening. Hopefully, they will be able to come to a truce and stop the violence there. So I don’t know what will happen in the next six months.
Hopefully I am still having to hustle to pay for my car, which I have done for a long time with Doordash funds. Or, I find some other way to pay for the car because let’s face the fact, bills never stop. Thank you for reading.
In this blog, I will talk about what advice I would give my teenage self. I would tell the younger teenage me to stop hanging out with Manny (the troubled cousin), unless you want to be shot in the head.
Manny the cousin shot me in the head and if I can stop a future without being disabled. It would be worth its weight in gold. I wish I had the opportunity to talk to the teenage me. I would probably grab him by the shirt and tell him not to go to the river with that idiot Manny, unless he wants to be shot in the head and his life ruined. Face it, he ruined my life. I can do something with this life, but it’s harder now. Thank you for reading
In this blog, I will discuss some things that bore me. I am very unusual. What bores me may make others energetic.
I do not like it when people talk very fast and they have nothing to say. Those people who read an article in Rolling Stone, or some other magazines. Then, they come off like they know the whole subject matter. That really bores me because I do not understand what they are talking about. Unless, I have read the same article or know the subject matter.
Movies can bore me if they are all talk and no action, unless again the subject matter interests me. Then, I can be entertained by the subject matter.
In conclusion I don’t like it when people talk very fast and they have nothing to say. People who read an article in a magazine and all of a sudden they are experts in the field. Unless I read the article too. It is not going to be interesting to me. Also, movies with no action and all talk can be boring, unless I am familiar with the subject matter. Then I can process the information better. Thank you for reading.
These are my favorite drinks. Starbucks coffee, which gets me started for the day. Core water throughout the day to keep me hydrated.
I couldn’t choose just one because each one is very refreshing and gives me the right amount of energy to get through the day.
For anyone that doesn’t know Starbucks. It was started in Seattle Washington in America on March 30 1971. The company makes the best coffee for my taste buds. I drink it black without sugar or cream so I get the full effect of the caffeine. It keeps me going the whole day.
Core is water that I drink to stay hydrated. Core water was founded in 2015 by Keurig Dr. Pepper. The water has an incredible taste and keeps me going through the day. I sometimes drink them simultaneously to keep me awake.
In conclusion- my favorite drinks are Starbucks coffee and Core water. Thank you for reading.
In this blog, I will talk about my favorite people to be around. She has been around me for a long time. She has seen me through good times and bad times. She is my sister. My favorite person to be around. She lets me be myself.
I can discuss anything under the sun with her. She will always be on my side, as I am always on her side. We are like partners. We watch shows together, eat together, and do Doordash together. So my sister is a great person and much more than a sister. She is my best friend.
I also hang out with musical friends, when I go to play music. They are cool also because they play a guitar or a bongo and I play the shaker. So it is like a match in heaven, when I can see them and play music with them. It is really cool when we can just jam and make music out of anything.
In conclusion my favorite person to be around is my sister. She is very special to me because I can be myself around her. Then I like being around my musical friends because we can just jam and have a good time. Thank you for reading.
Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
In this blog, I will tell you about my favorite pair of shoes. They are black size 11 slip on shoes. They are very comfortable and they fit my orthotic. My left leg is shorter than my right leg, due to the injury happening when I was 13 years old. My right leg grew, but my left leg did not grow. That is why I use an orthotic, which evens out my legs, so I walk better. I use the orthotic in every pair of shoes I get.
I use the shoes for work with Doordash, so they have been all over Tucson. I also wear them when I go to a store like Sprouts or Trader Joe’s, or Walmart. I have also worn them to the mall and to the gym. They are really light so I can walk sort of fast in them. Thank you for reading.
They are worn but they still work. They have been everywhere with me in Tucson AZ.
In this blog, I will share with you the best gifts I have ever received. If you search deep within yourself, you have these gifts too.
One is abstract thinking, it is sort of like intuition. It is the what if, part of your brain that says if you go into a store and rob it. You will go to jail, so your brain develops all different scenarios that can happen if you do a certain action.
For me, I wish I had abstract thinking when I went down to the river. I would not have gone because I would have asked myself what if, the gun goes off and shoots me. That alone, would have made me not go.
But with age, you develop a lot of skills to smell bull coming out of people’s mouth. Such as, when someone wants to sell you something over the phone. If you are like me, you want to see the item up close before you buy it. Just to see if it works the way they say it does. I guess what makes it more enticing is the money back guarantee. I guess something you can buy this way. If they guarantee your money back if you don’t like it.
Another gift, is the ability to say no to certain events that would not be good for you. That little word can get you out of so much trouble. When I was younger, I had a hard time saying no, especially to the cousin who shot me in the head. I would say no at first and then I would give in to all sorts of things, such as starting fires, going down to the river.
Now, that I am older saying no is much easier, even if they bug me to try to get me to change my mind. It is much easier since I am older. Such as, a friend of mine wanted to take me to go shoot guns, but I told him no and he accepted it.
See with age, usually comes more respect so these young people do not run all over you and me. So they cannot expect every time that you will give in to them. It is all about respect and parents want to give their children the world, but sometimes it is worth saving no to them. If your children are well behaved and respectful. They will accept it and move on to something you will say yes to.
In conclusion- the best gifts are as you age. Such as abstract thinking, the what if scenarios that go off in your head if you take certain actions. The ability to smell bull crap coming out of people’s mouths. The ability to say no and the ability to be respected. Thank you for reading.
The calculator became my best friend when it comes to budgeting.
Write about your approach to budgeting
My approach to budgeting is using the calculator. I take what I make in a month and subtract all my bills from what I make. For instance, if I make $5,000 a month. I subtract rent which is $1,500, electricity $90, gas $50, trash $20, water $30, internet $120, cell phone $70, sewer $40 .I add all my expenses, which is $1920. I subtract that amount from $5000 and that is what I have to play with for the month, which is $3080. I can spend $400 on my car and $120 for insurance, which is $2560.
Then the rest of the money can be used on food, gas, clothing, and entertainment. I use a mobile app from there to track my spending, so I don’t go over what I have in the bank.
This is just hypothetical, I don’t make $5000 a month I wish, but the process of using the calculator to subtract my bills from what I make is what I do every month, when I pay my bills. Thank you for reading.
