There’s no such thing as a guarantee to not fail. But nonetheless, I’ll try writing anyway as well as blogging. I’m a musician and will definitely be playing music again soon.

Whether I succeeded or fail, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m doing what I love and it makes me happy and fulfills my life.

As always, thank you for reading…

The hardest personal goal I’ve ever set is to love myself. It’s also my greatest accomplishment in my life. Because with self love, I can do anything and become the absolute best version of myself.

A lot of my life people around me treating me like I was less than great in the I assumed that I was for a long time.

I had to get out of my head and I had to realize that what they think doesn’t matter it’s only what I think that matters about myself.

It took a lot of self-love and strength to leave my last ex-wife. It was hard and scary. A lot of change a lot of venturing out of my comfort zone, but it was worth it. That’s where growth is that’s where the answer is lie are outside of our comfort zones. If we want to be better, we must challenge ourselves.

Just remember everything starts and ends with us. That’s become one of my credos. We make bad choices and we pay for them. And that’s how we learn. If you love yourself, you will not tolerate less than great treatment by those around you.

I’ve heard the expression that if you don’t love yourself then nobody will love you. I’m living proof that that’s true. I picked (in the past) people that didn’t care about me (unconsciously) since I didn’t care about myself. once I figured out that cycle, I broke it forever.

As always, thank you for reading…

I’ll have to break them down by categories. I’m not gonna go into a great deal in detail at this point in the interest of saving you all some time and having to read all my junk (lol).

MUSIC:

The Beatles are my favorite band. always have been always will be.

ART:

Pablo Picasso is my favorite artist. Ever since I studied with him in art history and learned how to view his paintings and art I love his work.

AUTHOR:

Stephen King is my favorite author. been reading his book since I was 11 years old and I love them.

POET:

It’s a three-way tie for favorite poet, being Robert Frost, Shel Silverstein, and Walt Whitman. These three are giants in the poetry world for me.

ACTOR:

It’ll probably have to be a tie between Tom Hanks, and Robert De Niro.

ACTRESS:

It’ll be a tie between Julianne Moore and Rachel McAdams.

There are probably other artistic categories, but I’m going to keep things simple tonight.

As always, thank you for reading…

I’m reforming this question to what are my favorite hobbies or past times because there are quite a lot of them.

I’m self taught on piano, so I can somehow read the music and I play by ear and do my own arranging. That’s a lot of fun.

I write a lot, I write poetry, short stories, essays quotes, music analysis, and share them in my blog.

I love to play the drums and eventually I will have a digital set in my apartment, but I have to save up right now.

I love, listening to lots and lots of music and have it playing all the time.

I go once a month with a good friend to do those painting events where there’s a person they’re showing everybody how to do the same painting. It’s way out of my comfort zone, but it’s very good for me to become more balanced creatively.

I also love live music and concerts. I haven’t been to one in a year plus but I intend to get back out there. 

When I’m in a little bit better shape I love playing tennis, walking, hiking, and working out.

I love swimming and going to the beach body boarding.

I love to read and have read many many books.

I love to stream all kinds of great entertainment all the time.

And of course I love video games. I guess I’ll always be a big kid inside.

As always, thank you for reading…

This has happened to me many times. I go on. I move forward. I start over.

I’ve been through two divorces, lost two of my storage units, and I’ve had to start my life a new three times now.

I find that we got a lot in ourselves and our friends and possessions just way down. John Lennon had it right “Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, no need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man”

Possessions are just things they come they go. It’s people that stay and that are important, friends, family, colleagues, mentors.

As always, thank you for reading…

I have to say anybody who is matured, been educated, and developed in opinion on anything would change their mind on many issues.

I feel this question is very redundant because it applies to everything. When we grow, and we become educated, we change and become better people.

This applies to everything there is. Just my $.10.
