Too bad I was shot in the head

Describe something you learned in high school.

I will describe something I learned in high school. People learn all kinds of things in high school. Some people actually learn what they want to be when they grow up in high school. Well that was not the case with me.

One thing I did learn in high school was to be on time for class. I received a bunch of tardies for a lot of classes. So, I received detention for those tardies. Soon, they realized it was the injury that was making me tardy because I walked with a gimp. They knew it was unrealistic for me to get to class in four minutes for the passing period, so they gave me all the time I needed. I never went to detention again for being tardy. I learned I needed more time to get to class because of the injury and they accommodated me. It was a winning situation. Thank you for reading.

A positive change

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

In this blog I will discuss one positive change I have made. All sorts of people like sweet food. I am no exception.

I used to eat 3 Cliff bars a week. They are full of sugar and other chemicals. I used to eat them for the protein after work outs, but since I don’t work out anymore. I have given them up and I lost weight and can now fit into more of my pants . All the sugar was not good for me either. So I am glad I don’t eat them anymore.

So my positive change in my life is not having to eat Cliff bars anymore. Thank you for reading.

This is my favorite way to exercise.

What’s the most fun way to exercise?

In this blog I will discuss what my favorite way to exercise is. I have not been there for too long but it is my favorite way to exercise.

It is hitting the gym. It is so fulfilling. Doing the treadmill and the stair climber get my heat racing, face and body full of sweat. It is an awesome way to lose weight. The cardio period is not only great for the heart but it helps me breathe better and sing better too.

Lets not forget weight lifting either with the arms , shoulders, and legs. It is fantastic. Especially, when I do the arm curl, chest press (for pecks), the cables, dumbbells, and peck fly. All of these different exercises work muscles,so they can get bigger, such as the arm curl works the bicep in the arm and the Peck fly works out the chest.

Also the leg machines, such as the leg curl and the leg press workout muscles in the upper leg. All these exercises build endorfins which are hormones that are released during exercise and many other activities to relieve pain and for a sense of well-being. Hitting the gym makes me get a better night’s sleep and I feel better the next day.  One day I will go back to the gym.

In conclusion the most fun way to exercise is working out or hitting the gym. Thank you for reading.

Pets are not for me

What animals make the best/worst pets?

In this blog I will discuss what animals make the worst and best pets. I don’t have any animal pets. I do have a drum set that is named Darcy. She is a fantastic pet because she just waits patiently for me to grab a stick and hit or bang on her. She doesn’t move around or eat so there is no mess to clean up after her. She is quiet unless I play her. She is the ideal pet, no barking, no meowing either. She is so precious to me.

As animal pets go I think tortoises or rabbits make the best pets for me because tortoises are slow and eat the same foods as me. Rabbits are cool if the person has a cage for the rabbit.

Well when my sister was younger she received a pet rabbit from my mom.She named her Roxy. My mom did not get Roxy a cage. So we had my blind sister’s friend over and she let poor Roxy outside the house and we never saw Roxy again. That devastated my sister, so she never wanted a pet again because of that incident. So if you get a rabbit make sure you get a cage because they are fast and will escape.

I think it depends on the person to determine which is the worst pet to get. For me, it is dogs because they bark a lot and I have background noise problems. Such as, when I read, I need it totally quiet because I can’t concentrate when it is noisy. So it would drive me crazy hearing the dog bark all the time.  See what pets work for some people don’t always work for other people. If you have a dog that pet works for you. I am happy with my drum set Darcy. She makes the perfect pet.

Cats are cool as long as you don’t make them mad because they will claw you up pretty well. Cats are smart and they claw everything up if you don’t get a claw post for them. It is to maintain their claws, mark territory, to stretch, or relieve boredom or stress. I guess they claw you up to mark their territory 😂. The claw is the reason I would never get a cat. Plus, it would just run from me so I don’t want that headache so I don’t have cats. If, you have cats, that pet works well for you and like what I said, “what works for one person doesn’t always work for another person.” We are all different.

Birds, ferrets, fish, iguanas, are nice but if you do not have a cage or an aquarium for them. Then, they will escape and you are sad because you lost your pet. For me, it is a big headache so I just want my drum set Darcy.

Like I said I am happy with my pet drum set Darcy. She is zero maintenance, unless I have to move her or dust her she is all I want. Darcy is great. Thank you for reading.

Job watching as a child

What job would you do for free?

In this blog, I will go over what job I would do for free. Well, when my adopted brother was younger, my sister and I watched him. We let him spend the night multiple times. We fed and entertained him all for free. It was fun while it lasted.

If he was still young, we would probably watch him again maybe. Thank goodness he is older so we don’t have to watch him. He can watch himself yes! Thank you for reading

Figure skating is great to watch.

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

I enjoy watching almost everything when it comes down to watching the Olympics, but my favorite sport has to be figure skating. I like to watch them twirl, jump, and land on their feet. It is quite impressive.

Here is another picture that is cool.

Thank you for reading.

Improvements I would do

How would you improve your community?

How would I improve my community? There are a lot of things I could do to improve my community.

For starters, I could go to the food bank and request a lot of food, such as canned goods, and fruits and vegetables  etc. and put an ad on the Tucson AZ page on Facebook. It will say if you are hungry leave me a message on such and such phone number with your address and I will drop off food to you.

I feel bad for all the children and adults who go hungry every night. So I would make it a mission to get food to all those hungry people. With inflation as high as it is, possibly many people go hungry at night. I could also go to shelters and feed people there. If, there is a person holding up a sign at a stop light I could hand him a piece of fruit or something at least. Around Alvernon and Grant Rd. in Tucson, there are plenty of homeless people to give food to. The need is great in this part of the United States.

In conclusion- I would provide food to people in need, such as the homeless and people at shelters and people who can’t afford food. Thank you for reading.

Changes happen

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

This blog will discuss how I have adapted to the changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic?

If I don’t have a reason to leave the house I stay at home mostly. When I go to the store, I avoid people coughing. I usually stay away from people I don’t know because I never know, they could be sick. I wash my hands whenever I am by the bathroom or I put on hand sanitizer whenever possible. Whenever I work, I am very vigilant about customers coughing, so I keep my distance. My sister still uses her mask wherever she goes. I use it sometimes, but not always. It is not that comfortable. It has been cold in Tucson, maybe I should use it more often.

In conclusion-I stay home if I don’t have a reason to be out. I avoid people who start coughing at the store. I stay away from people I don’t know. I wash my hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer. I keep my distance from customers coughing at work. My sister uses her mask everywhere she goes. I sometimes use my mask wherever there’s a lot of people somewhere. Maybe since it is cold in Tucson, I will use it more often. Thank you for reading.
