Today is Monday, July 6th, 2026. My new website is up. I had my book written out. It was about 50 long pages. It was typed, but I wrote it out and came out to be only a couple of pages. I think writing is better than typing. This picture was taken at Ferullo field, right down the street from where I live.
I remember, it was 5 o clock in the morning. I was at Dunkin Donuts getting breakfast. I walked across the street to take this picture. I noticed that the sky was a little hazy. It was dark, but there was an aurora present, that you only see in the morning, or at night. It was beautiful.
To some it up, I have talked about a lot of problems. Legalizing cannabis in the State of Massachusetts, was a mistake, but it is NOT federally legal. I hope it is there only to help. I've met a lot of patients. I've talked about homelessness, and the struggles that I have faced. I've talked about mental illness and how hard it was to deal with in the state that I was in. It is still going on today. And, I'll leave you with this. I have no desire to run for public office. But, if we can all educate each other about the tough issues that surround us all. Check out my petitions on change.org:
Please feel free to read my book. My music has all been remastered to studio quality. I will be putting out new philosophy every day, and keep writing here. My resume is also here, for all you business people interested. I still think we need justice for 9/11/2001. Maybe, I'm just waiting for a miracle.
Today is Monday, July 13th, 2026. This morning, I went to Dunkin Donuts, in Woburn. I got something to eat. I had a rather joyful experience. Now that my book is out, I have a lot to tell. Things like justice, and seriousness come to mind, but also freedom. I read a book once. It was called "Freedom", by Jonathan Franzen. I am reminded about other storys in my life that I have felt, free. There are only a couple. On a more serious note, I have had panic attacks since 2024, and emergency visits since 2016. I am reminded by a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, that says "When duty whispers low, thou must, the youth replies, I can." At least, I think it was Ralph Waldo Emerson, but it was "Emerson". If there is another one, I'm not sure. What I do know, is that homelessness, is the most serious crisis that I have faced, after "trauma". I have faced trauma since 2009, and when I was at my full time job, I feel like it was over. But, I'm still here :) . And I have alot to say. Mental illness is a very serious declaration. A serious one that requires a lot of hard work and tenacity to get through. I am getting through it. I remember, after I was at Mass General Brigham Urgent Care, and having a couple of smokes, I got into the ambulance in going to the Winchester Emergency room. I saw something I hadn't seen since 2010. It wasn't freedom; it was clarity. I will always remember that moment. I have written about 40 pages of text on 8x11 paper, double-spaced with things I'd like to talk about. One of those things was already written. Whats next? :) . Only time will tell.
Please, go ahead and read my petitions on change.org. I meant what I said. I might not have been 100% coherent, but at least I was honest. Things still have to change. We've had 24 years pass by since 9/11/2001. Granted, nothing is solved overnight. But somethings should just be common concerns: things that the patriots probably once knew, from the Revolutionary War, about the "common man", and such. I have fought, I have learned, I have lived, and I now understand.
Hi everyone. My new site is up and running. I produced two new songs over the past few days. One is entitled "Ball". It is about Paintball! The second one is called "Good Humor". I actually wrote that one about a year ago, but never produced and recorded it. So I did.
I am feeling flustered. Nothing really to photograph. I remember, the other night, I was looking up at the sky in the morning. It was early, probably about 7 AM. And there was this hazy, dark, cloudy aurora in the sky. It was actually pretty scary. I didn't know what it was. It was almost as if something exploded in the distance. Supposedly the cloudiness came from Canada. The sun was shining that day, so I thought everything would be okay.
After my posts on change.org, that sum up my journaling over the last year, I don't think I have everything else to say right now. I apologize for any inconvenience about taking it all down. Now that my official site is launched, I hope to keep it around for a while.
As far as current events, I keep thinking about the "Peace Corps". I tried to volunteer with them, but I couldn't because I have a medical condition. I serve. I've met some nice people since I started service in 2016. I was out there, but was very to myself and focused in the most extroverted way ever. And it hasn't stopped yet.
I've learned, so much about myself and others. I've learned that mental illness is a serious thing. I have also learned about my own personal struggle with homelessness in life. I have learned about other people. I think that people are compassionate, nice, here at least in this state. I haven't travelled much. There is alot of history here in Massachusetts, like "the Mayflower", and the pilgrims who landed here. I read a good book yesterday. It was by Paul Aron, called "We Hold These Truths.... and other words that made America". After reading it, I realized why I've been so down. History can be so downtrodding. This book helped me put it back into perspective. One quote is on my "Thought of the Day" page, so check it out.
About my book, I didn't think it was too much to elaborate about my past. I've done that before. But, over the course of the last 10 years, I have been journaling more, and trying to realize what is important. I think, that it put it into perspective. I am so proud of myself.
I tried to take my own life in 2012. I survived. We don't need politics in the country. We need people to "Stand Up" (Rep. John Lewis). If you'd like to know what I think, read my book.
In reference to my change.org petitions, I think that we need more people running from all walks of life, not just the select few you see all the time. I try to tell people all the time, try to smile if your nice; if you hate, I dislike hate, or if you look a little lost, ask you "how are you?". Everyone could use a little cheering up. I've had my moments.
All in all, I think that this nation is heading in the right direction.
Since, my posts have all been summed up in various ways, (change.org and here), I have nothing else to say. Enjoy the new site.
