…..If they never asked for your side of the story…..then the side they heard is exactly how they feel about you….and that tells you everything you need to know…..people who truly care….will seek the truth….they’ll come to you….ask questions…..and try to understand….but those who jump to conclusions….who accept rumors as facts….were never really on your side to begin with….never explain yourself to people….who are already dedicated to misunderstanding you….some people don’t want the truth…..they just want to believe what fits their version of you….what fits their narrative…..no matter how clearly you speak…..they will only hear what they want….so stop exhausting yourself…..trying to be understood by those who choose not to listen….you owe no explanations….to those who never gave you the benefit of the doubt…..protect your peace…. thank you….. (Robin Williams)
IF YOU WERE TO GO BACK IN TIME…..KNOWING EVERYTHING YOU KNOW TODAY…..AND SPEAK TO YOUR 25-YEAR-OLD SELF…..WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO HER?…. “You see I have these 5 L’s….the first two are….life and love…..they don’t function without each other…..the third L is…..laughter…..laughter without love is cruel…..it hurts….it breaks up families….it causes war….but laughter with love……is joy and happiness….and the fourth one is…..labor…..labor becomes drudgery…..if you’re just dragging along….so finding the aspect of your own being…..that says, “Ha, I got it!”……that’s what lights you up….I’m working at this age….to do something that I can do…..and I know that the world….is hungry for it…..and then the last L is…..listening…..listening without love…..is empty sound…..you just don’t hear it….but if you’re listening…..with love….you’ll hear it…..and it will speak to you”…. (words of wisdom…..from a 104-year-old woman)

LOOK, I NEED YOUR HELP…..Now, most of y’all know I’m a headphone junky…..since the orange sponge ones from the Sony Walkman era….all the way up to Bose (not enough bass in the equalizer mix)….JBL (way over rated)….Bowers & Wilkins (not bad)….Sennheiser (love them better in the recording studio)…..Marshall (bumpin’ bass but too square for my ears)….Sony (guaranteed to break right after the warranty runs out)…..Sonos (good but not worth the price)…..and now my favorite headphones come out of Denmark….Bang & Olufsen…..I have the H9 and the HK…and the H95 is on my list….recently B&O came out with….BEOPLAY 100….the ultimate top of the line headphones….if you know B&O….you know when it comes to sound…..they don’t play….the clearness of the tones is unbelievable….and I’d like to buy a headset…..so I’m asking all of you…to please start a “GoFundMe”….for me…..and help me finance the one set of headphones I need right now…..because I know if I came home and said to Nicole….. “Guess what darling? I just bought a new pair of headphones”….and she would be…. “Oh, that’s nice, how much did they cost?”…..if I told this woman I just spent 1,799 € on a pair of headphones….that “GoFundMe….would be used to….. “GofindMe.”…so, come on y’all….help a brother out.
TENSIONS GROW AS U.S. SENDS WARSHIPS NEAR VENEZUELA…..Well, this is going to be interesting……believe me, this isn’t about coffee beans or something….this is about oil…..WTF is wrong with America….does this political party seriously think….they can pull some John Wayne shit…..on the world?…..y’all put a “Bounty” on the head of the Venezuelan President…..a $50 million dollar hit….on Nicolás Maduro……who’s doing the hit?…..John freakin’ Wick??…..what the hell?……the WHITE house done turned into The Continental…..now that’s some serious gangster shit right there….but everyone sees your plan…..America, if you want to re-write a history you will be so glorified in…..one pointing out all of your accomplishments towards equal rights for everyone….globally….and on this wonderful land you happened upon….make sure you keep in the part….where General Custer thought it was a good idea…..to attack people who weren’t even bothering any one……the one thing the REICH-publicans have been doing since day one…..to the entire world…..the use of force…..it’s not working anymore….I’m sure Custer said to his men…. “Damn, there are more of them…than us.”……the world can shut down America….without firing one single bullet…..and that happens….ladies and gentlemen…..welcome to the Wild, Wild West.
JUST ONE DOSE OF PSILOCYBIM SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH TO REWIRE THE BRAIN…..This scientist had to be born during the late ‘90’s…..just one dose?…..this kid has no idea…..one dose ain’t nothing…..she/he/they wrote….. “Psilocybin appears to alter brain networks linked to repetitive thought….which may explain how the drug helps to treat some mental health conditions”……dear children, if your parent’s survived the late 60’s and rolled through the ‘70’s……they know about ‘shrooms, LSD, all that psychedelic trippy stuff….and we had P-Funk……and we survived….as for psilocybin….nothing new to the medical field….spend some time with our Native American brothers and sisters…..and listen…..and learn.
