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.
