Get sober or shut the fuck up.

No one wants to hear your excuses about not being able to get sober.

I’ve been there myself so I know how hard it is, but once you make that decision, you have to stick with that decision and never go back no matter what.

I remember the day I got sober. I was walking to go rob a bank and I remember a guy’s telephone number from the AA meetings have been going to prior to getting sober.

So I stopped right in the middle of walking and called this guy up. He took me to a meeting. I ended up asking for money because I needed to because I ran out of gas and I needed money for the next couple days until I could get some work with Labor Ready which I did just to survive.

I spent the next 40 days at the Alano club and Pacific Beach until I went into the San Diego freedom Ranch and Spence 3 1/2 months there and then I went to Pathfinders in Golden Hill for another 3 1/2 months until I ended up getting kicked out for having a cell phone in the morning meeting. It rang and I was that cool fuck this you know I have no chance and I got kicked out. I ended up moving back to Orange County.

I’ve been to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings all over the world and have embraced the relationship. I have with other addicts because we share the same addiction and it helps to listen to what others have to say. It doesn’t mean you have to always take their advice but what it does it plant to seed a new mind. Hey, I can do this or hey I can do that.

One thing about sobriety that you need to do in the very first maybe five years is find a purpose like my purpose was to be the designated driver and to be of service to your friends who are alcoholics, but a lot of of them don’t know it or don’t realize it, but they are.

And what I always told my friends was well I don’t really give a shit what you do, but I’m not gonna drink and you know I’m gonna be your designated driver so just always realize that.

And they ended up respecting that decision I made, and they called me a strong, motherfucker, which I didn’t realize it at the time but that’s absolutely true. I mean, I’m stronger than I realize.

Years later, I went to federal prison and learned about how that works. Almost got killed three times. I’ve really stupid shit like sometimes I have a loud mouth and knowing that if you go back there you’re gonna die. That’s how serious it was. And yes, three times and six months.

In prison, it’s all about race and as a result, I don’t like white people anymore and I don’t like Black people anymore because of it.

It’s not to say I won’t give you respect, but it’s one of those things where I have to look the other way on a lot of what they do because I don’t want to get involved. You know I have no interest in whatever they do.

After prison, I was tapped to write Tom Delonge to the stars Academy, UFO reporting app and we had some challenges with that but I ended up. We were like one day away from completing it and then they scrapped it, but I still have the code for it.

As a Roosevelt of being impression, I have what they call purses, and drink kosher that were made in prison that you can only get from prison.

Like I said, if you doubt whatever I say, I could show you the code to the UFO app. I could probably release a version of my own, but I won’t. That code is forever on an Apple Mac that I don’t even use anymore.

I do have other stories like when I was drunk and high and all that, but I won’t bother you with that even though it got some good stories on that.

All in all, I should be dead right now, but in all reality, I’ve managed to survive all of the obstacles that I’ve put in front of myself and things that have happened to me. I’ve managed to survive and I’m grateful for that and having diabetes sucks and neuropathy is not your best friend at all having erectile dysfunction doesn’t help either.

But as I wake up in the morning, I’m thankful that I’m able to wake up and that’s really all that matters right now. Everything else is secondary.

I’ve been lucky to live right next to the beach for the last 10 years with a woman that hears who gives a shit and we often have fights because of the way I think and the way she thinks it’s opposites attract I guess and so we sometimes we take for granted where we live, but to be honest with you, we live in paradise, and this is the best place for me to be, and I really don’t want to live anywhere else

Even if I was rich and famous, and all that stuff, I really wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. What I would do is probably buy this land and make a huge mansion on it. Other than that… I’m good.

Right now it’s about the simple things, not material things, but the simple things.

I always tell myself if I die tomorrow I’ve had a wonderful life. I’ve had a great life and that’s all that anybody can ever ask for.

I got the chance to be famous and I found out that that’s not for me. I did have FBI agents talking to me all the time about what I should do and everything and it’s it’s really not worth it at all to even think about being famous.

And being rich just means it gives you more opportunities. It gives you more options. That’s really all that is because when you have no money, you have no options.

I also try to live as stress-free of life as I can because of the outside influences and the temptations that you see and of even smoking drinking, I really take that kind of seriously.

Like I don’t even go to parties anymore call me boring like I don’t care I mean yeah sure I like to have fun but my kind of fun is sitting in front of the computer trying to figure something out coding something or maybe play a game or whatever but you know as far as connecting with people like I love to connect with people and just talk about the weather.

In other words, there’s no agenda with me. There’s really never been an agenda with me other than to have fun and connect with people and share the same things to other people are into.

I’m a very direct straight shooter who doesn’t like the bullshit and doesn’t like to get bullshitted. I usually can tell somebody’s trying to bullshit me immediately.

I’m that guy that stands alone and you think somethings wrong with me but I’m just having fun in my own head and I don’t need anybody else to tell me how I should feel because I used to listen to those types of people and they got me nowhere.

I stand on my own 2 feet with my own thoughts in my own head on my own social media platform.
