WHEN I ESCAPED THE LA VA
I WENT TO TOM CRUISES HOUSE
WHY?
RON KOVIC TOLD ME TO!
(TOM PLAYED "RON" IN BORN OF THE 4TH OF JULY)
SO I HAD A SIMPLE MISSION
GET IT?
ASK TOM TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS
(TOMS PLAYED OVER 12+ MILITARY ROLES IN HIS CAREER)
PLUS HE LIVED CLOSE BY
I ADMIT IT DID NOT TURN OUT SO WELL :(
STILL LUV YA RON!
"I am HAPPY because I AM GROWING DAILY & I am HONESTLY not KNOWING where the LIMIT LIES.
To be CERTAIN, every day there can be a REVELATION or a new DISCOVERY.
I TREASURE the MEMORY of the PAST MISFORTUNES.
It has ADDED more to my BANK of FORTITUDE."
"IF you love LIFE, don't waste TIME,
for TIME is what LIFE is MADE up OF."
“I WISH NEITHER to POSSESS nor to BE POSSESSED.
I no longer COVET ‘PARADISE’.
More IMPORTANT, I no longer FEAR ‘HELL’.
The MEDICINE for MY SUFFERING
I HAD WITHIN ME from the VERY BEGINNING
but I did not TAKE IT.
My AILMENT came from WITHIN MYSELF,
but I did not OBSERVE IT, until THIS MOMENT.
NOW I see THAT I will
NEVER find the LIGHT
unless, like the CANDLE,
I AM my OWN FUEL,
consuming MYSELF.”

JUST IN CASE YOU WERE NOT AWARE
THE FOLLOWING "INSPIRATIONAL" INDIVIDUALS ARE
ALSO AMONG THE 4% OF THE U.S. POPULATION
THAT CALL OURSELVES "VETERANS".
“I USED to be embarrassed because I WAS just a comic book WRITER while
other people were BUILDING
bridges or going on to medical CAREERS.
And then I began to REALIZE: ENTERTAINMENT is one of the MOST
important things in people’s LIVES. Without it they might go off the
DEEP END.
I feel that if you’re able to ENTERTAIN people, you’re doing a GOOD thing.”

&
CREATOR OF LITERARY MAGIC!
"SERVICE" IS A BEAUTIFUL THING!
DON'T GET ME WRONG,
IN FACT IT IS THE
HIGHEST "ACT"
WE AS A "HUMAN FAMILY"
CAN USE TO ELEVATE &
SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER.
A GREAT EXAMPLE OF "SERVICE"
WOULD BE THE TEACHER CALLED "JESUS"
CHOOSING TO WASH the FEET of a STRANGER.
AT ITS "ROOT" SERVICE IS
"THE "CHOICE" TO HELP
& ASSIST OTHERS."
BY KNOWING THIS
WE UNDERSTAND WHY
SOLDIERS CANNOT DO "SERVICE"
BECAUSE SOLDIERS IN THE MILITARY DO NOT HAVE "CHOICE."
WE TAKE AN "OATH"
WE MUST DO AS WE ARE TOLD.
WE MUST "OBEY."
THIS MAKES "SERVICE."
AS AMAZING AS IT IS...
SOMETHING WE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO.
"SERVICE" SIMPLY IS NOT AUTHORIZED.
JUST AS COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING...
YET NOT PROVIDING
A "SOLUTION"
IS AS USELESS AS
TRYING TO B.U.I.L.D. A HOUSE
BY SITTING & RELYING ON YOUR "BUTS"...
HERE IS THE SOLUTION.
LETS CHANGE THE "WORDS".
WE ALL HAVE LEARNED
"WORDS HAVE POWER."
SO WE KEEP THE SENTIMENT
HOWEVER WE CHANGE THE "WORDS."
...INSTEAD OF SAYING SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T APPLY...
LETS CHANGE IT TO
THAT WHICH DOES!
THE "POWER" LIES IN THE "LANGUAGE."
TO O.U.R. VETERANS WE CAN SAY
INSTEAD
"THANK YOU FOR KEEPING U.S. SAFE."
OR LIKE MY 5YR OLD CHOOSES
"THANK YOU SOLDIERS FOR FIGHTING FOR MY FREEDOM."
IN MOST CASES THOSE "WORDS"
SHALL BE FAR MORE APPRECIATED.
BECAUSE THEY ARE ACCURATE!
WITH NEARLY 40 VETERANS TAKING THEIR OWN LIVES EVERY DAY.
(SCARY STATISTIC!)
WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOSE?
MORE IMPORTANTLY
IMAGINE ALL THAT WE COULD GAIN?
BETTER STILL
IMAGINE IF WITH JUST
THIS SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT
THIS "SIMPLE CHANGE"
IMAGINE IF THAT WAS ALL
WE HAD TO DO TO START
SAVING SOME LIVES?
COULD IT BE "SO EASY?"
IF WE DO NOT TRY
WE WILL NEVER KNOW!
"LOGIC" DICTATES THAT IF YOU CHANGE EVEN
ONE PERSONS LIFE OR "DIRECTION"
YOU HAVE JUST
(BY DEFINITION)
"CHANGED THE WORLD"
SO JUST AS
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE" IS A NICE SENTIMENT.
IF I CAN GET YOU TO CHANGE WHAT YOU "WOULD" SAY
YOUR "NEW" CHOICE
HAS NOW "CHANGED"
AND "YOU" ARE "THE WORLD!"
THUS YOU HAVE JUST
"CHANGED THE WORLD."
ALSO ON A SMALLER SCALE
THE REASON WE NEED
TO UTILIZE AN ALTERNATIVE
CAN BEST BE EXPLAINED LIKE THIS;
SAYING TO A SOLDIER
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE."
WELL ITS LIKE SAYING TO THE SUN
"THANK YOU FOR THE COLD & DARK THAT YOU PROVIDE."
BASICALLY IT JUST DOESN'T APPLY.
SO LETS NOT DO THAT!
AND WHY IS IT BENEFICIAL FOR U.S.
TO "SPEAK TRUTH" TO O.U.R. VETERANS?
WELL TO PUT IT SIMPLY
YOU HAVE "FREEDOM" TODAY BECAUSE OF VETERANS.
YOU GET TO READ THIS PAGE & GO OUTSIDE WHEN YOU WANT
BASICALLY...EVERYTHING YOU GET TO DO....YOU "OWE" TO VETERANS
BECAUSE OF THE "VETS" WHO GAVE UP THEIR "FREEDOM" SO YOU CAN HAVE YOURS!
YES WE UNKNOWINGLY
GIVE UP OUR GOD GIVEN FREEWILL TO "OBEY"
AND TO TAKE "ORDERS"
(LIKE A MCDONALDS EMPLOYEE; WE EVEN HAVE OUR OWN UNIFORM!)
HOWEVER UNLIKE A
"MCDONALDS EMPLOYEE"
SOME OF U.S. WERE DRAFTED!?
WHILE MANY OF US WERE PAID LESS THAN $5/ HOUR!?
THINK ON "THAT" PLEASE...
AND UNLIKE AN "EMPLOYEE"
(WHO CAN "QUIT" OR "WALK OUT")
...WE HAVE "NO CHOICE"
STILL MOST DAMAGING OF ALL...
VETERANS ARE ORDERED TO MURDER OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS!
PLEASE LET THAT "SINK IN"
HAVING TO MURDER OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS
ON THIS PLANET
WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING NAMES!?
OR SEEING FACES!
UNDERSTAND THEM
KNOW THEIR "PAIN"
AND OFTEN WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHY!?
SO WHY DO WE DO IT?
BECAUSE WE CANNOT DISOBEY!
DON'T JUDGE VETERANS
AGAIN WE HAVE
NO "CHOICE!"
SO ALTHOUGH "LENGTHY"
THAT IS "WHY"
WHY WE WANT TO SAY
"THANK YOU"
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
IN AN ACCURATE WAY!
TO PUT IT "PLAINLY"
SAY "THANKS" TO O.U.R. VETERANS
BECAUSE O.U.R. VETERANS BECAME "SLAVES"
JUST SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
IF WE WANT TO SEE "TRUTH" IN THE WORLD; WE MUST
MAKE TRUE STATEMENTS!
SPEAKING APPRECIATION IS BEAUTIFUL!
IT IS THE AUDIBLE MANIFESTATION OF "GRATITUDE"
AND IF WE WANT A POWERFUL HUMAN FAMILY.
NOTHING ON EARTH IS MORE POWERFUL THAN "GRATITUDE."
SPEAKING O.U.R. APPRECIATION IS POWER!
GRATITUDE IS POWERFUL!
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN
(FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!)
NOTHING ON EARTH
IS MORE POWERFUL THAN "GRATITUDE."
HOWEVER TO SPEAK INACCURATE & INARTICULATE "WORDS"
IS CHOOSING TO BE LAZY...
CHOOSING TO BE LAZY IS CHOOSING TO BE "WEAK"
AND IF WE FILL THE WORLD WITH "WEAKNESS"
HOW CAN WE EVER EXPECT TO BE "STRONG"?
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE
ITS A LOSING EQUATION.
LIKE I SAID
"EVERY PERSON IS A DOOR"
AND "COMMUNICATION" IS THE KEY TO OPENING THAT DOOR!
SO GET YOUR VET TO COMMUNICATE, "OPEN UP."
"A CLOSED DOOR PROVIDES
"NO ACCESS"
A "CLOSED DOOR" is
essentially a DEAD END!
...the GOAL is to get a VETERAN to "LET YOU IN"...
Now the NATIONAL SUICIDE HELPLINE
AS WELL as the VETERANS SUICIDE HELPLINE
ARE NOT THE BEST OF RESOURCES OUT THERE
HONESTLY...THEY WERE ACTUALLY PRETTY "SUB-PAR"
(IN TERMS OF TRAINING & SKILL SET.)
THINK ABOUT THIS
UP TO 40 VETERANS HAVE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE JUST TODAY!
HOWEVER IN THIS COUNTRY WE HAVE 3 CALL CENTERS TO
"TALK THESE PEOPLE DOWN"
AND ONLY 1 OF THESE 3 CALL CENTERS IS "STAFFED" BY VETERANS FOR VETERAN ISSUES.
AND ONLY SINCE 2017 HAVE THEIR EVEN BEEN 3
AND THIS IS FOR "ALL SUICIDES"
ONLY 3 CALL CENTERS FOR THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES!
XFINITY HAS MORE CALL CENTERS & THEY ARE A CABLE COMPANY!
YET THE STATS SAY EVERY 40 SECONDS SOMEONE IS ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.
BUT WE ONLY HAVE A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE STAFFED TO "SAVE" EM
WITH THOSE #'S ITS MORE LIKELY TO SPEAK TO A DOMINOS PIZZA EMPLOYEE THAN A "SUICIDE LINE REP"
YET EVERY 40 SECONDS SOMEONE IS NOT ORDERING A PIZZA...
THEY ARE ATTEMPTING SUICIDE!
THERE IS SERIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE #'S
AND WHO IS "WORKING" ON IT
NOT SURE...MAYBE NO ONE...
THE WHOLE
"GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOVT WORK"
MOTTO IS WHAT COMES TO MIND!
I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE WHITE HOUSE ON A "SPECIAL" LINE...AFTER THE 3RD CENTER OPENED UP.
HOWEVER the QUESTION we MUST ASK is AGAIN "WHY?"
WHY DO WE "NEED" THESE PEOPLE?
WHERE DO "WE" START TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY?
AT WHAT POINT DO WE
"TAKE CARE OF O.U.R. HOUSE?"
O.U.R. PEOPLE?
WHERE ARE "FAMILIES" IN THE EQUATION?
WHY DO WE THINK A "STRANGER" IS NEEDED TO HELP SOMEONE WE CARE ABOUT?
WHY WON'T THE VETERAN COME TO SOMEONE THEY "TRUST" INSTEAD OF A "STRANGER"?
MAYBE THAT IS WHY THE SUICIDE RATE TODAY IS SO HIGH...
PEOPLE DO NOT THINK ANYONE "CARES"
I MENTIONED THE VETERAN SUICIDE RATE OF AS MANY AS 40 SOLDIERS A DAY
THINK ON THE "HUMAN" SUICIDE RATE...THE WORLD
1 EVERY 30 SECONDS!
WHAT IS GOING ON???
MORE QUESTIONS THAN "ANSWERS" RIGHT?
WHY?
WHY WON'T PEOPLE
"OPEN THE DOOR" TO THE PEOPLE THEY KNOW & TRUST?
I HAVE AN "IDEA"
THE ANSWER IS "FEAR"
AND "FEAR" IS IN THE MIND...SO IT LITERALLY
IS NOT "REAL"
WE ARE LOSING THE BATTLE TO AN IMAGINARY FOE!
WHAT IS THE BEST WEAPON IN THIS "FIGHT?"
TO "TALK" IS "COMMUNICATION"
TO "TALK" IS "ACTION"
COMMUNICATION...AKA "ACTION"
IS THE OPPOSITE OF "FEAR"
IF FEAR IS "NOT REAL"
"ACTION" IS REAL!
SO WANNA BEAT "FEAR"
TAKE ACTION!
"ACTION" WILL KILL FEAR!
EVEN IF ITS JUST
"JUMPING ROPE"
NO ONE HAS EVER COMMIT SUICIDE...WHILE JUMPING ROPE!
OR JUGGLING...LETS ALL "JUGGLE" SOME MORE
WHY DON'T MORE OF U.S. JUGGLE & JUMP ROPE?
SO THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE MUST FIND THE ANSWERS TO
AND WHEN WE DO
WE JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE O.U.R. VETERANS FROM THEMSELVES!
HOWEVER IT
"STARTS WITH YOU!"
IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN THE "COMMENTS" SECTION ON
YOUTUBE...DAMN!?
WHO ARE THESE "SCAREDY CATS?"
"CHICKENS", WEAKLINGS, RIGHT?
IT DOESN'T TAKE ANY "BRAVERY"
OR "STRENGTH" TO
"MAKE A COMMENT"
REAL TALK!
KEYBOARD COWARDS!
ITS A PROBLEM...SURE
EVERY "PROBLEM" IS ACTUALLY
AN "OPPORTUNITY"
SO WHAT IF WE "FLIPPED IT"
OUT OF THOSE BILLIONS OF "COMMENTS"
IMAGINE IF THEY "EMPOWERED" PEOPLE...INSTEAD OF
SPREADING "NEGATIVITY" THEY
ADDED "POSITIVITY" TO THE WORLD?
NO NEED TO IMAGINE
IT IS POSSIBLE!
WE JUST NEED TO
"TAKE ACTION"
SO YOU DON'T MISS THAT
I WILL REPEAT IT
IN THE BILLIONS OF ONLINE COMMENTS
IS A LOT OF NEGATIVITY
RIGHT?
IMAGINE IF THAT WAS "POSITIVITY"
INSTEAD
HERE'S THE "PLAN"
WHAT IF
THESE 3 QUESTIONS WERE
"ATTACHED" TO EVERY COMMENT?
JUST 3 LITTLE QUESTIONS
WHAT IS YOUR WHY?
WHAT DO YOU WANT TODAY & EVERYDAY?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN?
UNFORTUNATELY WE MIGHT NEED THE 4TH QUESTION ALSO
WILL YOU TAKE 5 MINUTES RIGHT NOW TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?
IMAGINE THE "DIFFERENCE" THAT
COULD MAKE!?
EVERY SINGLE COMMENT
EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS?
EVERY COMMENT
BUILDING O.U.R. HUMANITY
STRENGTHENING U.S.
RATHER THAN WEAKENING U.S?
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A "HYPOTHETICAL"
WE CAN START DOING THAT TODAY
WE CAN MAKE IT REAL
MAKE IT HAPPEN
I AM DOING IT...
NEED MORE SUPPORT
SO WHAT IS STOPPING YOU?
NEVER MIND
DON'T THINK... JUST DO IT!
"DON'T GET IT TWISTED

"YOU CAN LEARN WITHOUT TRYING

In the BINARY world

The "FEMININE" can CREATE
just as "1's CREATE all #'s...
"0's CREATE NOTHING
...LITERALLY
So LOGICALLY that MEANS...
"MEN" & ASSHOLES ARE THE SAME!
WE can "MAKE" SHIT...but CANNOT "CREATE" ANYTHING!
SO SORRY my BROTHERS...
WE ALWAYS KNEW WE'RE ASSHOLES
but it SEEMS WE ARE
ALSO JUST "0's"
...it all just MAKES SO MUCH SENSE."

I SHALL NEVER CLAIM TO BE
A RAPPER
(RHYTHM And POETRY)
IS A "SKILL"
AND ONE I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE TIME NOR THE DEDICATION TO PRACTICE (YET)
WITH THAT BEING SAID
I DO STILL GREATLY RESPECT & ENJOY
THE ART FORM!
CASE IN POINT MARSHALL BRUCE MATHERS
A.K.A EMINEM
"I DON'T use the "O" WORD
instead I WILL SAY
DEFINITELY still FAST, STRONG &
Will PLAY ALL DAY
however NOT as YOUNG
as I was YESTERDAY."
NOW ALTHOUGH YOU
ESSENTIALLY KNEW "NADA"
ABOUT "VAN"
WELL NOW...YOU MIGHT "KNOW" A BIT
TOO MUCH!
HOWEVER "IN A NUTSHELL"
I AM A "POSITIVE" GUY
(OR AT LEAST I "REALLY" TRY!)
...DESPITE THE DIFFICULTIES
I'VE EXPERIENCED!
WE ALL HAVE O.U.R. SCARS!
THEY ARE WHAT
MAKE U.S.
SO ON THE "WHOLE"
I "CHOOSE" TO STAY
"POSITIVE"
BECAUSE IT IS A "CHOICE."
HOWEVER SOME THINGS THAT JUST REALLY "BOTHER ME"
ARE THE 3 "L"s
"LIES" "LAZINESS" & "LIVER"
(YUCK!)
2 OF THOSE "EXIST"
HOWEVER THEY ARE
"NOT REAL"
(A CONVO FOR ANOTHER TIME)
"LIVER" I JUST DON'T EAT
THE OTHER 2 ARE ESSENTIALLY
2 SIDES OF THE SAME COIN
LIES ARE JUST LAZINESS IN
"SPEECH FORM"
THE BIGGEST
"LAZINESS" I'D LIKE
TO ADDRESS
"ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA"
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
FAKEBOOK (Facebook)
SNAP CRAP (Snapchat)
BULL SHITTER (Twitter)
INSTASHAM (Instagram)
NO INTEREST (Pinterest)
THE "VIRTUAL LIES"
THAT SUCK UP ALL O.U.R. TIME!
EVEN "STREAMING" SERVICES
LIKE Netflix
OR
"I GROSS MORE THAN I "NET"FLIX"
(See WHAT I did there?)
Do you WONDER "WHY"
EVERYTIME you spend HOURS
on these PLATFORMS
YOU FEEL EMPTY?
LIKE AFTER YOU EAT A
MCDONALDS NUGGET!
Because IT IS NOTHING!
THAT IS WHY I CALL IT
"ANTI-SOCIAL" MEDIA!
REAL "SOCIALIZING" IS
HUMAN INTERACTION.
WE HAVE "REMOVED" THE
"HUMAN" COMPONENT
AND AT WHAT COST?
THE "KEY" TO
INTERACTION IS "ACTION"
EVEN IF WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER
WE CAN "TAKE ACTION"
TOGETHER
THE BENEFICIAL KIND OF
"ACTION"
DANCE!
I'M CANADIAN & FILIPINO
100% UNITED STATES SON!
SO
I GET DOWN ON DANCE!
SO LETS DANCE!
WE ARE ALL ONE HUMAN FAMILY
THE "ARGUABLE" ONLY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF "U.S."
(UNITED STRENGTH)
ON THIS ENTIRE PLANET
IS THE 2 GENDERS
THATS IT
THE ONLY "RACE" I HAVE EVER NOT LIKED IS THE ONES THAT NEEDED TO BE "WON"
AND EVEN THEN
WE WERE STILL RUNNING IN THOSE "RACES" TOGETHER
I QUOTE RAPPER ACTIVIST
TOM MCDONALD ELSEWHERE ON THIS PAGE HOWEVER
HE PUTS IT BEST IN HIS SONG
Clown World
"When I was a child, the only races that we hated
Were the ones that we ran and didn't win"
CANADIANS SPEAK "TRUTH!"
TOM AIN'T "WOKE"
(CAUSE THAT IS NOT A "REAL"
THING!)
HOWEVER HE SURE AS HELL IS
PAYING ATTENTION!
REAL
KNOWLEDGE TOM!
Y'ALL CAN YELL AT ME ALL YOU WANT!
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
I'M DANCING!!!
BUST IT!
"THANK YOU" is ALWAYS the SIMPLEST PRAYER we can SAY.."
"Whether you use MAHALO, GRACIAS, DOH JE, OBRIGADO, NEE HOI, DOMO, GRAZZI, DANKA, SHUKRIYA, SALAMAT or simply "Thanks."
NO MATTER WHAT LANGUAGE YOU SAY IT IN...it MEANS the SAME...
THAT WHICH IS BIGGER THAN ME;
CARES FOR ME, PROTECTS ME,
& ULTIMATELY IS GUIDING ME.
(WHETHER I AM AWARE OF THIS OR NOT)
SO I ACKNOWLEDGE THIS
& I CHOOSE TO UTTER SOME "NOISE" (OR WORD)
TO SPEAK MY APPRECIATION!
I HAVE SAID THAT IF O.U.R. CREATOR HAD A "VOICE"
IT WOULD BE "MUSIC"
MUSIC IS THE MELODY OF THE SOUL IT IS UNIVERSAL AND UNDERSTOOD BY ALL
WHEREAS "SONGS" ARE THE "HARMONY" OF "MUSIC" WORKING WITH THE RHYTHM OF MANS MACHINE
