It has been bittersweet living with an injury that could have been avoided if the cousin would have shot the gun the other way. We were too young to have access to the gun. We were 13 years old. His dad bought him a 22 caliber rifle at ten years old and a 4/10 shotgun not too long after, so at a young age he was exposed to guns. When he was a kid he thought he knew everything, so he thought he could get away with what he was doing and his dad wouldn’t notice.
He went inside his dad’s truck and retrieved the gun that he shot me in the head with.
I didn’t know back then, that that decision to go down to the river would change my life forever. I am permanently disabled because of the decision. I should have stuck to my gut and not gone down to the river with the cousin because I live with consequences of that night, will haunt me forever. I walk with a gimp and my left arm doesn’t function.
Thank goodness I can still work and play drums and write lyrics and sing a little because without that. I would go insane in this body.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and thank you for reading.
Not really, my sister and I usually eat out at some restaurant for Thanksgiving, or we get chicken and mashed potatoes, rolls and some pumpkin pie from Walmart and eat that. It is not turkey, but chicken is pretty close. Thank you for reading.
I would play music more and be a moon gazer, such as this picture of the moon.
The moon with the clouds makes a beautiful picture.
I would probably work more on Doordash too. Being a moon enthusiast is so cool because you are always looking for different pictures of the moon. It is quite cool. Thank you for reading.
My first pet peeves are dogs barking when I use the bathroom. It drives me up the wall. I have background noise problems and when dogs bark, I cannot go to the bathroom. So I put the fan on and then I go. It is because of the injury of being shot in the head.
My second pet peeve is being tailgated by cars. I know people have to get to where they are going, but tailgating me won’t make me go faster. I just go slower, until they pass me, which is fine with me.
The third pet peeve is being woken up by music blaring at all hours of the day and night. There is someone at my complex who blares his music loudly. When he does that, I put on my fan and go back to sleep, which works fine. I would rather hear my fan than his music. If he listened to Tupac or metal it would be fine, but it is foreign music that I don’t like, so the fan goes on. Thank you for reading.
People come and go in your life, like sand through an hourglass. The people who stay are your true friends. They are the people who stick with you through thick or thin.
Those people may be family or not, but to you they are your family. Even though, they may not be related by blood. They are still family or best friends.
My sister is my true rock. She has been with me through all my life. She has been with me through the good times and bad times and she is still with me. She is a trooper.
Julie is another person that means the world to me. She has sung on one of my tracks called mojo. She used to go to an open mic that I attended. She plays the keyboard and sings. She is a very good artist also. Overall, she is excellent at everything she does. She is also a good friend.
Engel is awesome too. He sings and plays the conga drum and the box drum. He is very good at what he does. He used to play with me at a local open mic. I would play the shaker and sing and he would play the box drum. He is a good friend of mine.
Rich is very cool also. He is a guitar player and singer. He sings rockabilly songs. He is also a good friend.
Phlegm and Marshall are very cool. They play bass. They are good friends also. They both used to play with me at the open mic.
My aunt Gracie and my uncle Frankie and their children Marissa and Frank are very good people. My aunt Gracie is a teacher or a retired teacher and now a substitute teacher. My uncle Frankie is retired from the military. Marissa and Frank work for the Arizona State University. The whole family are wonderful people and are true family. Thank you for reading.
People like all kinds of animals such as domestic or wild animals. There is an animal for everyone if they want to search for the animals.
People’s favorite domestic animal is the dog, due to their loyalty and companionship. Cats are very cool too because you have to win over their loyalty. They don’t just like you. You have to show them that you are someone to like by petting them, feeding them etc.
Tortoises are my favorite animals because they are slow like me and will eat everything I eat, such as this salad we had last week.
Everything but the seasonings, it might be harsh on the tortoises system.
Bunnies are very cool too. Many people like having bunnies around because they are so cute. I would suggest before getting a bunny to have a cage, so the bunny doesn’t run away. My sister lost her bunny because the bunny didn’t have a cage and another girl left the door open and the bunny got out of the house and was never seen again. My sister was mad for a long time.
Iguanas are another domestic animal that people like, but like I said for the bunny you need to make sure you have a cage and a hot rock for the iguana or you will possibly run into problems. I have seen some people allow their iguanas to run amock and find them on the refrigerators and other places. It is a much better idea to have a cage, so the iguana doesn’t get into mischief.
Snakes are another domestic animal that some people choose to get as a pet, especially boa constrictors, which do not bite. My cousin had a boa constrictor and one day they couldn’t find it. Then they were sitting on the couch watching TV and the boa constrictor emerged from between the cushions and scared the hell out of them. So it is best to have a cage with them too.
Turtles and fish are neat if you have an aquarium so they can swim in the water, but make sure you change the water from time to time. My friend had fish and he didn’t change the water for some time and the whole house smelled like rotten fish ew wee.
Gerbils and hamsters, yes cute until they keep you up all night thumping on their cage. My uncle Phil gave me a cage with three gerbils. It soon became nine gerbils. The reason they were thumping on the cage was because they were horny. So, the little craps were getting more action than I was, so I gave a few of them to my step dad and still the thumping continued. So one day my stepdad and I went to Reid Park and set them free and finally was able to get a good night’s sleep. So no more gerbils for me.
Birds are awesome if you like winged creatures just have a cage for them. I have seen on Craigslist, people lose their birds and offer an award if found. How in the hell are you supposed to find a bird that flies. Well maybe 🤔 but not likely.
Wild animals
My favorite wild animal is the dolphin, just to watch it swim. It is remarkable. They jump in the air and land back in the water, quite a sight. Jaguars are also cool the way they run around their cages at the zoo, quite fascinating. Penguins are also neat, the way they wobble as they walk.
In conclusion my favorite domestic animal is the tortoise because it is slow like me and eats the same things as me, a lot of vegetables, such as lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, etc.
My favorite wild animal is the dolphin because I like watching it swim and jump out of the water and back into the water. Thank you for reading.
I like the mountains for hiking, playing music with friends, seeing and listening to the animals in the mountains. I like to have picnics in the mountains. I also like when we rent a cabin and make a nice fire in the fireplace and roost marshmallows in the fireplace and we eat pancakes and granola. It is a good time.
I also like the beach to listen to the waves hit the shoreline. I like putting my feet in the beach, while sipping a cold drink, when it is a hot day. I like watching all the people making sand castles and playing volleyball. It is also a good time. Plus going swimming in the beach.
So I don’t have a preference, mountains and beaches are both a great time. Thank you for reading.
First of all, I am not part of a family. It is just my sister and I. One food we love is pizza. We don’t eat it often but when we do it is great. We eat pizza from Little Caesars, Domino’s or Pizza Hut. It is all very good. We usually get the cheese pizza, but we have been known to get the pepperoni pizza which is also good.
The second food is burgers and fries. Whether it be from Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Jack in the Box, Carl’s Jr, or In and out they are all good burger places. We also eat chicken burgers at Popeyes, Raising Cane’s, and Chick Fila.Lastly we eat salads. We love our salads the most. This salad has chicken, biscuit, and mashed potatoes from Popeyes, which made the dinner better.
So in conclusion, we like pizza, hamburgers and fries or chicken burgers, and salads. Thank you for reading.
Without further delay it would be Jesus Christ. I would like to thank him for the chance to live. I would also like to ask him why the cousin shot me in the head, when my life was going good.
I guess tragedies strike when we are feeling good or bad. It doesn’t matter if it struck, it is still painful. Hopefully, he can reassure me this life will get better and not to give up and hope for the best. Thank you for reading.
The moon is captured with all its glory and here’s to another day under rapse and a new day is among us.
Once, I was shot in the head, I learned to trust my instincts and always listen for that little voice in my head telling me not to do something.
The voice was probably screaming at me not to go down to the river with the cousin, but I didn’t listen. I at first told him I didn’t want to go down to the river with him, but he kept bugging me so I gave in. That was the biggest mistake of my life. Now, I keep my nose clean and trust my gut, when something doesn’t feel right I don’t do it. Thank you for reading.
