The New Year has started off pretty good. I took a nap and rested up a bit. I drank some coffee, so I had some energy to type in the blog. This year, and every year, the same crap never changes. The cousin who shot me in the head, still nothing happens to him. I don’t remember if I told you, but he bought a house and still has not given me a cent for hurting me. You would think, since we were best cousins back then, he may help me a bit, but no, nothing. He may be narcissistic and just think of himself. That’s all right. I will just leave him be. He will get his once and for all. Holding onto all this hate for him has gotten me nowhere, so I will try to let it go a little, but it will still be here because on New Year, is when I got shot in the head a long time ago. I will always remember that day, for the rest of my life, as the worst day of my life. Now, I am a little relieved that I no longer associate with him. He was a trouble maker, most of the time. So, I am glad from that perspective that he is out of my life. He used to manipulate me into getting into trouble with him. So, I am happy to stand on my own these days. Thank you for reading. Have a great night. Happy New year again.

I have other relationships with my sister and some friends, like Arthur, Marshall, but nothing satisfies me more than a good salad. It gives my body one big hug and gives me energy also, to get through the day. Without a salad, I would be very unhappy and grumpy. So I would say, my most important relationship is my relationship with salad.

I also have a relationship with my drum set. I have to play drums every day, or else I go crazy. I practice just in case I want to go to open mics, or may possibly get a gig. Just so I am prepared to give whatever I do. My full effort.

Well, these are not typical relationships, but these things are dear to me. I spend time doing each of them every day. Almost everyday, I eat two salads. One salad I make and the other my sister makes. My sister puts love into her salads. That’s why they are so yummy. They are really wholesome salads with ingredients, such as romaine, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, purple cabbage, and loads of seasonings. The seasonings really make the salad delicious. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

President Trump is meeting with Zelinsky (the leader of Ukraine) at Mar o logo in Florida to discuss an end to the war with Russia. Since, Zelinsky has said that he will not concede land to Russia. I doubt it will be a win for Ukraine. Russia will still continue to bomb Ukraine as long as Ukraine doesn’t give up land. You maybe thinking, Russia is a bigger country but much of Russia is frozen throughout the year. Which means, they cannot farm there. On the contrary, Ukraine has some of the most fertile land in the world, not to mention the minerals and a coastline that doesn’t freeze. So, talks without Vladimir are not going to get that far because Ukraine’s land has a lot to be desired for Russia. So, my guess is Russia will remain bombing Ukraine, until America gets into the war  with Russia or Ukraine gives Russia some land. We will just have to see what goes on. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

As far as politics, I am now independent because some of things that both sides say make sense (republican and democrat). So that is how I have changed politically. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

Well, my biggest influences are the lady’s man because he is good with the woman and I aspire to be good with women. Maybe one of these days. I can develop skills like the lady’s man.

Then for drumming, it has to be Rick Allen from Def Leopard because he drums with one arm because of an automobile crash. Then, John Bonham from Led Zeppelin. He was the best drummer in the world. Thank you for reading. Hopefully you have a good night.

For me the best part of the day is drinking my coffee and drumming and singing. I also like eating apples and bananas, which is something I really enjoy. Because, bananas have tryptophan in them, which helps me sleep better. Sleep is another thing I like to do.  My older sister invited me over for Christmas eve, but I will be having a date night with my bed because I haven’t been able to get really good sleep. I guess my mind is up, when it should be sleeping. It is funny how that happens. I don’t want to be the party pooper, and be grumpy, so I will not go. Maybe, some other time.

Almost everyone has a routine. They go to work, eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, watch TV at a certain time. People read books, the internet, the newspaper, lots of things become just part of the routine.

As part of my routine I play my drums and sing a little song. This is where I ease my stress and get things off my chest. I never hit the drums that hard because I am in an apartment, but I do play them lightly and sing lightly. I sing most in my head because when I sing a little bit too loud. The dogs in my apartment complex start barking. So in most cases I will turn on a fan or a heater to drowned out noise. So I can focus on what I am doing. So playing drums and singing are part of my routine. Another, thing that is becoming part of my routine is walking. Walking makes me feel good; even though I am not that fast, but I enjoy it. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.
