805 Blog Post


What about blogging about my town favorite places? Is it a safe notion? Recently, I saw a new comic book store open but, I saw the store hours it was a turn off. Why? The location is in a bad area and night time is not the wright time. If kids come here they should be accompanied by an adult for safety reasons. There used to be Internet café here, arcade and billiards but, most are gone. There is one billiards left but, is located where drugs and alcoholics linger, what does it say about our city. I am not trying to be negative this area I mentioned is next door to the church I been attending since 1994. That pool place I mentioned used to be a bar till we (the church) fought against it so, kids and the elder members did not have to walk around beer bottles,condoms and drug needles. This is downtown but, should it look run down? I think not but, community has to care and get involved to make a difference. I really am not political hardly ever talk about city officials yet, is it not their duty to see that the city we live in is safe?
Our church hosted recently a small appreciation event for our local law enforcement, with steak sandwiches (don’t quote me) chips and soda. We had banners in front and back of the church I personally escorted the officers to the tables inside which was such a great honor for me. This town is where I live but, I have trouble calling it home although I’ve been here since 1979 when my father brought us here from Los Angeles.

Writing Peek

It seems I am struggling to find a subject to write about everyday. I used to write plenty about technology and Linux but, I find my mind wandering because I made the decision not to write randomly about small stuff that only mattered to me. I read an article about blogging that mentioned that writing should be fun not so critical you are afraid to write for fear of falling into randomness writing like before. It said write with passion things that moved me, I could not argue that point. The problem is not that there is not anything literally to write about but, the appropriate time and how to write about things especially those of a sensitive nature. I am a very open individual and if you were to walk up to me and say hey, sir I wander could I talk to you for a moment cause I just need someone to talk to if you have the time and would be so kind to listen to me, about my situation? If I were not in a hurry I would say sure. I would probably think of this as an opportunity to invite them to a bible class, now some might think I agreed with an alternative motive in mind. This not the case and I'll tell you why. I see the bible class as educational on multiple levels of maturity. This is good information that I highly recommend to anyone regardless of educational background.
Anyway, I would listen because we all have problems and I have had others who took the time to listen to me and my long winded self, I should do the same for someone else. Maybe, I don't have the answer to their problems but, I could at least listen.

In the previous words I gave you an example of my character but, why? I am a writer and often I think maybe if people get a peek at who I am maybe it might lend a hand in understanding my perspective when I write. My mind is moving much faster than I can type so, often I edit and re-write forgetting my point and frustrating myself I give up leaving this half baked idea written for you to figure out which is not good. The reader probably will leave either confused or thinking this was obviously not thought through carefully.

Some phone Pictures

Enjoy my picture post.





2016 Plans part 2

I am getting short on time and I don't want to end up on the street which would be difficult to say the least in view of these circumstances I must do all I can exhausting my options so, I can live more suitable for my age plus, I would like to have my own place with some extra money to send for my son to come visit especially now that he is a grown man. This year I plan on doing many things if the Lord allows, it would be great to accomplish some set goals. I sometime moan about commitments but, they mold me for the future and I get over them. Also this year at my church the men said that this year we were gonna have no excuses was the theme.

On another point totally of the subject of new year commitments, I contemplated the idea of doing blogging as my main source of  income to play with the idea cause that would be a major leap of faith with my lack of experience that is scary yet, I have been writing more just not in one place but, mostly it has been the site medium. This platform at blogger I have had many blog attempts which have been inconsistent with random posting on random topics which don't even match the title theme. With this new account and fresh start I can correct the mistakes I made before and do better. I joined a site called Disqus that is filled with people engaging in conversations on all kinds of topics which can give me practice writing plus I finally get some feedback on my ideas.

2016 Plans !!

Hello everyone!! I have been very busy lately with church and home responsibilities. I have always been researching about how I can make a career or business out of things I love to do. I know I will not be satisfied with anything less than what I like and so, with that said I realize I must have my own site it just makes sense instead of trying to use these free sites which are alright yet, I know they are not going to bring me to the place I want to be.

Vlogging is fun and I like it but, I really know from my research about Linux video editing software is that it is not going to cut it down the line, the propriety ones are better unfortunately. Using my system to do my blogging and audio recording works fine. The time I have to do all I desire to do is available but, the location is not working for me home is not ideal with noise all around me and inside the apartment as well just makes recording anything nearly impossible.

The other issue which is a major one is income of which I have none, my sister reminds me a job needs to be my main focus. I don't disagree with her just the method of making an income is where we differ. I am getting older and am not in the best of shape which admittedly it's my fault but, I am almost always thinking about bringing some money in the house to take the load/burden off my sister and mother. Most of you are probably saying what the heck are you doing at your mom's house? Well, I bounced around from Utah to palm dale California plus more coming back here was not really by choice cause last place was the county mission which I never want to see again although, I did appreciate all the help they gave me. I am currently working hard to change this situation.
