The juggling act

How do you balance work and home life?

In this blog, I will talk about how I balance my work and home life. What I do is when I am at work, I focus just on work and when I am at home I focus on things like music and reading and watching shows, but I leave work stuff at work and home stuff at home. So I focus on what I am doing either work or home stuff, so I don’t get stressed about work or home.

At home, I do things that relax me such as music or reading or watching shows. When I am at work I focus on the job and how to get the items to the customers most efficiently.

So in conclusion-I leave things at work that are work related and things at home that are home related. For instance, relaxing is a home activity taking food and other items to people is a work thing so that is how I balance it. Thank you for reading.

Sacrifice of being disabled

What sacrifices have you made in life?

In this blog, I will discuss what sacrifices I have made in life. I was shot in the head and the gun shot wound made me disabled. My left arm does not function and I walk with a gimp.

So I have sacrificed a lot in this life. If I was physically normal I would have gotten married or at least some children, but since I am disabled. It is harder for me to adjust to a life with children and a wife. I am not saying disabled people don’t have children or get married. It just didn’t happen for me. So I have made sacrifices that way.

So I have sacrificed some life events that happen for most, didn’t happen for me. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Social work, but yet I do Doordash. So I have sacrificed that also. I really need to look into doing something with the degree I have. If it isn’t too late.

In conclusion-I have sacrificed not having children and a family and a wife for a car I must pay by doing Doordash. Plus, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Social work, but I do Doordash. Thank you for reading.

Old things that never get old, until it has holes.

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

In this blog, I will explain the oldest things I wear. Well, it just happens to be old shirts that I have from the year 2000 and 2001. When I was in Americorps. Americorps is a company in which you volunteer in an agency in the community and get paid through the Americorps. You also get an education award after you complete so many hours at the agency. If you are full time, you must complete 4800 hours, but if you are part time you can complete 900 hours to 1500 hours. It depends on what you have agreed to complete for the education award. My education award is $4800, plus I get paid a stipend every two weeks. So it was a good deal. Well the oldest shirt I wear is an Americorps shirt.

This shirt is from 2000 and I still wear it. It has no holes.
The Martin Luther King shirt from the year 2001 is one I still wear. Martin Luther King was a civil rights leader who gave black people civil rights. He was a great leader.

In conclusion-the oldest shirts I wear are an Americorps shirt from 2000 and a Martin Luther King shirt from 2001. Thank you for reading.

Follower made a leader

Are you a leader or a follower?

In this blog, I will answer the question am I a leader or a follower. Many people are leaders and followers, but being a follower for me got me in trouble.

I used to follow my cousin into starting fires and stealing mail. Even one time, we stole from a store, before there were cameras. So I was a big follower.

Then, I received the bullet in the head from the cousin. So now I am a leader. I will not let anyone lead me into a troubling situation. I use a powerful tool. It is called abstract thinking.

If someone is going to get me into trouble, I just ask myself a question. What if? If they want me to steal something. I ask myself what If? I get caught by the police and go to jail, not worth it. If I knew about what if, I would have probably not gotten shot in the head. I would have asked myself the question what if I get shot? I would have never agreed to go down to the river with the cousin.

If you have kids, teach them about what if, so they don’t get into trouble. If your children have abstract thinking. It will help them against people trying to get them into trouble. For instance, if they are in school and want to ditch class with a friend. They ask themselves that question, what if. Then they can go through different scenarios in their heads. What if I get caught and have to serve detention or get suspended. So from there they can make a decision to ditchΒ  or not. If, they don’t want detention, they would pass on ditching class.

In conclusion-I am a leader and I use abstract thinking so I don’t get into trouble. By asking myself, what if this or that happens. Then I can make an informed decision to do it or not do it. If it is going to get me into trouble no. Thank you for reading.

The man I love

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

In this blog, I will discuss a small improvement I can make in my life. I can trust the man upstairs has a plan for me and everyone. He is probably screaming at me to do it this way, but I keep doing it the other way.

I like playing music, but I find myself always doing Doordash. I really have to do some music one of these days. That is what God the man upstairs is telling me. Before, I get really worn out on Doordash. I need to listen to what God wants for me, rather than doing it my own way. It would probably work out better for me.

In conclusion- I need to listen to what God has planned for me and just get out there and play music. Thank you for reading.

The one and only

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

In this blog, I will share a story about someone who has had a positive impact on my life.

The story I will share is about my little sister. Her and I have been through a lot together. When she was about 3 or 4 years old my older sister would lock my younger sister out of her room; even though it was my younger sister’s room too. My older sister would be on the telephone talking to boys, while my younger sister would cry trying to get into her room, but my older sister locked her out of the room. Now, I would hear this and invite my younger sister in my room and we would play Atari or listen to music and that seemed to cheer my younger sister up. We played Cenapede on Atari. We had a great time. My older sister would stay with the door locked for hours, so we played more games, such as Pac-Man.

We also listened to music, such as Black dog by Led zeppelin and freebird by Leonard Skenard. We listened to more songs by Led Zeppelin, such as Achilles last stand.

Then when my older sister finally opened the door, my little sister wanted to stay in my room because it was more fun than her  own room. Thank you for reading.

Freedom is a plus

Freedom is being able to walk in the moonlight without fear of something getting you or killing or hurting you in some way.

What does freedom mean to you?

Freedom is the right to act, think, speak, without hindrance or restraint. It is being able to do what you want, when you want without the fear of someone or something stopping you. Of course, this has parameters such as you cannot hurt someone or something in the process or else there are consequences. Such as, you go to jail or prison.

It is the process of being able to do as you please as long as you do no harm to someone or something. Such as, if I want to work at Doordash at 10 PM, I have the freedom to do just that. No one is going to tell me I can’t do that. Or, if I want to make a salad at 7 PM. They can’t stop me from doing that either. As long as I don’t infringe on others’freedoms, I am good. Such as harming them in some way. Or else there are consequences of prison, which is not where I want to be. Thank you for reading.

Disagreement with public figures

What public figure do you disagree with the most?

I have three public figures I disagree with the most.

Harvey Wienstein, because of raping all the actresses, which propelled the “Me too ” movement, where lots of people said they were raped too. He is a pig. He didn’t deserve those women, such as Ashley Judd. He is right where he belongs to be in prison.

Number 2 Bill Cosby, because he drugged women and they passed out, then he would have sex with them. He should have got a longer sentence in jail or prison. He is a pig.

Number 3 Ron Jeremy, should definitely be in the slammer, raped a 15 year old along with many others.

Final thoughts these men are definitely where they should be in prison. Cause society doesn’t condone rape. Thank you for reading.
