When I was 19 years old. My dad’s girlfriend said to go out and volunteer somewhere. I called the volunteer center of Tucson. I said that I was interested in volunteering with children. So they sent me to the children’s achievement center, not far from my house. I went over there and volunteered, washing dishes, cleaning mats, cleaning windows etc. Not what I had in mind, but it turned into a job and I was getting paid for the work I did. Then, when I was 23 years old I moved out of my parents house. I was still working at the children’s achievement center and making all right money doing janitorial work. The experience helped me grow by paying my own bills, such as the rent, the electric, and the phone bill. The experience set up reality for me. If I want nice things. I gotta pay for them.

Yes I believe in fate and destiny that there is a force outside of us that has determined what we should do, but I also believe in luck. Many people make it purely on luck. Some people are more lucky than others. You interview for a job and you get it. Is that fate or luck because they may have had a large pool of candidates to choose from. Then, all those other people who didn’t get the job have to keep looking for another job. It could be fate, plus luck. It may be the job suited you best so you got it. I guess there is some fate in their decision to hire you, but it is also luck.

They are one of the same words of luck and destiny so with them meaning the same thing. I guess I believe in destiny and fate because we are on earth to do something and that something is our fate or destiny and it comes about by luck. When you go into work and ask for that promotion and get it. It may be fate or destiny because more money makes you feel happy and secured. Also, more money makes you feel more accomplished so you try harder and then a while goes by and you get another promotion. Then you really believe in fate and destiny and your luck is off the chain. So fate and destiny are real.

So in conclusion, I do believe in fate and destiny. I don’t know why I have a bachelor’s degree in Social Work, when my calling is music. I do it everyday hopefully that is my calling. I tried to use my bachelor’s in Social Work, but my disability (one arm is paralyzed and I walk with a gimp) held me back. So I guess music is my destiny and fate. Thank you for reading.

I have not said good bye to my music phase because I love making music. I love playing drums, shakers, singing, and writing lyrics. It is all part of the process. Well, music will always be a part of my life, until I die. If, I get recognition or not. I will always write lyrics and play drums and shakers and sing because it makes me feel happy. This phase of my life will always be there. Thank you for reading.

I would want to be Elon Musk, for a day so I can use his power to hire back all those federal workers who got fired. I would put in some sort of law making it impossible to fire them again. It was wrong to fire them. He blindsided them. They have families and houses. It is terrible.

Then I would use the rest of the day and find out if I can replicate how he got so rich. So I can get a little more money too. I would find out the tricks he uses to get money. I know a certain amount of his wealth comes from Tesla and space x, but he has to have certain stocks that he uses too. That information would be great so I know which stocks to invest in and maybe learn other tricks to get money.

In conclusion-I would be Elon Musk. Thank you for reading.

In fact, many people take on doing it themselves for many reasons. One of the main reasons is to save money. Maybe, they want to remodel their room, or kitchen, with the right tools and materials. They can do that. With the internet and YouTube, these things can show you exactly what needs to be done to do just about anything.

I would probably do more do it yourself projects, if I wasn’t disabled. I am paralyzed on the left side of my body, due to being shot in the head. It is hard to nail in nails with one arm, plus use machinery with one arm. I am sure there are people out there who have mastered the art of being a handyman with one arm. I am not one such person. Well, I have done one do it yourself project, without going to a gym to workout. I have the start of a six pack, by doing sit-ups and eating salads.

I don’t know which word to ban.  There are some great words that come to mind, but none that I would like to ban.

I would definitely ban the N word because it doesn’t have any meaning in today’s society. I don’t want to say it. It is a horrible word. I would totally ban the word. N word is a useless word and it is wrong to call black people that. Anyone can be the N word. It just means ignorant. I have good friends that are black and I would never call them that. They would best my ass bad and I would have it coming.

In conclusion- I would ban the N word because it is horrible to call black people that or anyone ,when anyone can be ignorant. Society would be a better place without this word. Treat everyone equally and you should have no problems because no one is better than another person. Thank you for reading.

The advice I would give to my younger self would be to unfriend the cousin. I would just tell him to run as far as he can from the cousin. I would show him what he did and hopefully he would listen, to get the hell away from him. I would tell him not to go down to the river with him, even if he tries to manipulate you, don’t go.

I would also tell him to enjoy his life and to work hard in school so he can have a better future. I would tell him to be more patient with life because if he rushes into relationships they could be devastating. Also, to take his time to get to know a person as a person, before becoming exclusive with them. I would tell him to save coins and money for the future because if I had some of the coins around back then. They could be worth a fortune. Thank you for reading.

This really chaps my back side. It sucks when people have all this endless energy and I have none, but want to sleep. Yet people keep me there listening to them; even though I am on cloud 9 at that point, they keep talking and talking and talking, so my friend called it droning, when they won’t shut up and let me get a word in the edge way, but they just talk and talk. At some point, I zone out or say I need to use the bathroom and get out of there.

I used to talk to people at the gym, doing cardio machines, like the Cross-fitter. It got old really fast because they would talk my ear off. Blah blah, blah, and I didn’t comprehend what they were saying, so I would make up an excuse and get the hell out of there.

So people talking on and on bores the hell out of me, especially when I don’t comprehend what is being said, so I leave. Thank you for reading.

These drinks give me energy for the day, to keep going and working at Doordash.

Starbucks is necessary to give me a lot of energy. Coffee Bustelo is Expresso so it really gets me going. As far as Folgers, it gives me energy but at a slower pace, unless I put a lot of coffee in the coffee maker. Then it’s an enormous buzz. Niagara water is to calm me down after doing work at Doordash. Well, these are my favorite drinks. Thank you for reading.

My favorite friends have changed, just like I change the radio stations, to something rockin, popin, or hip hopin or even Alternative. Times have changed, no need to look back, unless there is something devastating in your past.  I use the injury as power to keep moving ahead. I have learned not to trust jerks with my life because they are bad news.

Well, my friends today are mostly musicians, with one comedian. They are a great group of people. I found them all at the open mic at Sky Bar.

Cammy is the comedian. He is funny, but don’t get him mad because he has quite the temper. He does stand-up comedy at Sky Bar open mic.

Phil and Charles both play bass and have jammed with me, while I play shaker and sing. Or Charlies plays bass and sings and I accompany him on the shaker.

Then there is John who plays the flute and raps, which I accompany him on the shaker, while he plays the flute. It sounds pretty good.

Then there is Rogelio ,who plays the box drum and plays with me while I play shaker and sing. I do a song called “Wind,” about a wind that chases a woman. If, I go back to the open mic, I can record it and put it on here. It is one of my greatest songs. I think.

Then there is Tom, he plays guitar and sings, which I have accompanied him with the shaker many times and drums when I bring them. I have more friends, but this is good. Thank you for reading.
