Colorfully Reflecting on the Past, Present, and Hereafter.

Change is inevitable. You have to be able to adapt appropriately if something unexpected rolls into your path. There is a reason vehicles have wipers, brakes, headlights, gas pedals...

Are you going to stop your progress because it's dark out? Or are you going to turn on your headlights?

"Take your time" doesn't mean "go slow." It means be mindful.

If you went to HS in the 90s, you are built differently. The world changed almost overnight at our most vulnerable time. Read more about that below.

My brain went into full curiosity mode and wondered "Can organs last indefinitely if they keep getting transplanted?"🤔

And if you wanna know the answer, this is what I found:

Longest reported kidney: 60yrs
...liver: 40yrs
...heart: 29yrs
...lungs: 14yrs

Sometimes, you just don't feel like it. And it's ok to not feel like it sometimes.

You know what's a trip? Banks will charge half a penny on the dollar to borrow your money...loan it to other people or right back to you...then charge 500% more than what they paid you for it.

Dropped my debut episode on Youtube. In it, I attempt to answer one of life's biggest questions: WTF is God?

Check it out if you're interested in the answer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-gg...

I believe if there is one thing that saves the human race from extinction, it would be video games. Dead ass serious 😐

The media spent so much of the season pumping up the Cowboys only to realize that at the end of the day you still need to play the games. #NFL #GreenBayPackers #DallasCowboys

Writing is basically like gangbanging, but you're reppin' your thoughts not your hood.

What's up? Oh. Nothing. Just tired of my Bears getting their ass kicked by the Packers.

It seems to me it is more like buying a lottery ticket by drafting Caleb Williams. And keeping Justin Fields is like investing in a stock. And I've never been that much of a gambler.

You're a human. You're not supposed to be flawless. Because all being perfect means is that you are exactly what you are intended to be.

Everything happens for a reason. YOU happened for a reason. There are no mistakes.

Happy New Year! I wish you a mindful 2024!

Imma sit my grandchildren on my lap and be like, "Once upon a time, there was a place called Showbiz Pizza...you may know it as Chuck E Cheese. There used to be kid's birthday parties there. Now there's nothing but bar fights and shootouts..."

You ever feel like you don't belong on Earth? Like you should be on a more advanced world? Like...you have waaaay more sense than most of the people on this planet? Because I feel like a grown-ass man in junior high most days.

We can't destroy the Earth. Earth will be fine. It has survived meteor strikes and all sorts of hellish shit. Humans don't have that kinda power. But we're doing a helluva job destroying ourselves. I give our species another 2 centuries. 3 centuries tops.

Some people need to learn how to love others as much as they love themselves.

Some people need to learn how to love themselves as much as they love others.

But far too many people need to learn how to just love...

Ten years ago on Reddit, LeVar Burton told a story about how as a teenager he learned that it's wrong to hurt an insect.

It stuck with me and I remembered it today after seeing whom he is willing to fight. I'm not on Reddit anymore, but I found it and made a screenshot.

I gotta be honest - #NewBlueSun wasn't my cup of tea😬. I was expecting to hear BARS. But it has more of a wildlife documentary vibe. 🤷

Daughter: "Why do you say ROLL down the window?"

Me: "Because back in the day we actually had to roll down the window."

Her: "With your hand?! 😳"

Me: "Yes. In fact, we had to do everything with our hands. Hunt squirrels & other small animals. The 80s and 90s were dark times.
