FINALLY. GOODBYE 2020-HELLO 2021

 FINALLLY.  GOODBYE 2020-HELLO 2021

As they say in Hollywood..................................IT'S A WRAP.

2020 has been the longest, the shortest and the most insane year of my 54 years of LIFE.

Started 2020 the sickest that I have ever been. 

Just came back from five weeks in New York  with family and receiving life changing news. I also managed to get a bucket list trip to Cuba in as well. I returned to Utah where for the first thirteen days of the year I was SICK.

We were off season, so it was extremely slow. My wanderlust and self doubts about if I made the right decision to stay was really making my question everything. I mean EVERYTHING.

We closed out the end of January with the news of Kobe Bryant his daughter and seven others losing their lives in a helicopter crash in Calabasas . My old neighborhood. CRAZY. 

The World mourned with Los Angeles as Kobe was an LA institution. Crazy, sad days of GLOBAL MOURNING.

The next six-eight weeks I was feeling much more myself. Excited about the season beginning, I decided I was going to stay for one more season at Zion Mountain Ranch.

Well the world had OTHER PLANS  As word of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC CALLED COVID-19 began to literally SHUT  DOWN THE WORLD.

We all know how that has played out. I lost my job and home in the same conversation. I was given a couple days to pack up my belongings and head out.  Head out where? At that point who knew.

To say this year has been CHALLENGING would not even begin to describe for so many.

This year has come at such a HIGH COST. FIGURATIVELY, EMOTIONALLY,SPIRITUALLY,FINANCIALLY & MENTALLY.  The loss has been unfathomable to SO MANY. 

So many will never recover from this. I could go on and on. I am so disgusted with the US Government. 

ZERO LEADERSHIP.

Every other country has been following guidelines, taking care of their citizens except, YOU GUESSED IT. The good ole USA. $1200 stimulus for TEN MONTHS. Sending people to the streets. 

IT IS PATHETIC. MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL ON THE PLANET IS THE WHITE MAN. 

We are at a very teachable moment in history. WE ARE FAILING. It is SAD & DISGUSTING.

Throughout this Pandemic families have sent their families to the hospital to NEVER SEE THEM ALIVE AGAIN. This is where we are in the World.  INSANE.

Lots of lessons learned during 2020. RESILIENCE being one of them. 

I personally have been tested to the point of my mental well being coming into question. Many times throughout this year I have felt thatI have been on the verge of a breakdown.

People think that my life is all glamorous and say they envy the life journey that I am on. I say to them to live in my head for a minute and they would think differently and want a REFUND. LOL.

My struggles are my struggles not nearly as challenging as some, but still they are challenges.

HOPING & TRUSTING things get better in 2021 for ALL OF US. 

2020has been filled with LESSONS & AWAKENINGS for so many.

This year we also watched George Floyd being murdered on NATIONAL TELEVISION. 

People all over the world took to the streets in support of the injustice that exists. I happened to be out there traveling while this was happening and was able to document this through my photography.

There has been a LUNATIC who hijacked the White House four years ago for his own PERSONAL INTEREST.

He has pardoned all of his criminal friends. But the Kool-aide drinkers. SEVENTY MILLION PLUS of them STILL CHOSE HIM. THAT IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER WRAP MY HEAD AROUND. NEVER.

Thank God there has/is an overwhelming majority of people. who live in this country who care about OTHER PEOPLE & AMERICA working for ALL AMERICANS. 

The seventy million plus KOOL-AIDE DRINKERS vote against their own interests. As someone who is interested in psychology I find it all FASCINATING & TERRIFYING.

45 is a disgusting pig along with his whole family. But what the past four years has done is introduced us to the misguided people within our families , friends and communities.  VERY EYE OPENING. WOW.

Personally this has been a difficult year with much loss from both death and death of family and friends and the loss of friendships that are NO MORE.  At least two. one of twenty-five years and one of forty.

2020 has taught me LIFE IS PRECIOUS & TIME IS NOT GUARANTEED.

DO NOT WASTE  TIME OR ENERGY. LESS IS MORE.

SELF CARE IS ESSENTIAL, BE KIND & SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THOSE PEOPLE AND TINGS THAT YOU ARE NOURISHED BY.

BE GONE 2020 THANK YOU FOR YOUR LESSONS.

HELLO 2021 I LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER A NEW YEAR AND TRUST IN THE JOURNEY OF THE UNKNOWN. 

My heart goes out to everyone who  has and is suffering  loss. Hoping you find a source of strength in 2021 to carry on. 

We are almost one year into the PANDEMIC. 

83.4 MILLION CASES WORLDWIDE

1.82 MILLION DEATHS WORLDWIDE

2.1 MILLION CASES USA

344 THOUSAND PLUS CASES AND COUNTING DEATHS. INSANE. 

REST IN PEACE TO ALL THOSE LOST.

PLEASE BE DILIGENT TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ALL OF US SAFE. WE STILL HAVE DARK DAYS AHEAD OF US. 

BUT I TRUST THE LIGHT WILL SHINE AGAIN. 

THANK YOU ALL. MUCH LOVE. 

TIS THE SEASON

 TIS THE SEASON. 

So as 2020 nears the end, I take a big breathe and say OH MY GOD.  WOW.

This year was one for the history books for sure.

We are closing out the year with the highest Covid-19 cases throughout the WORLD. 

Just this week they reported almost 1.5 million new cases. That is over 200,000 cases a day being reported. 1.5 MILLION CASES in just 7 DAYS.  

INSANE.

Cities are back in lockdown. Some with curfews. They just shut down California. National Parks are now closed again. New York has implemented no dine in service.

The pandemic is wreaking havoc on the WORLD.

We are now moving into the tenth month of this insanity with no real end in sight. 

Cities, and towns around America and the World have been devastated.  My industry which is hospitality. one of the hardest hit. I am still without work. Not only without work, but without assistance. My benefits ran out three months ago.

The government does not give a shit. 

There has been one stimulus check for ten months in the amount of $1200. How the fuck is that suppose to help anyone. When this is all behind us. The United States is going to look like a third world country. Many will never RECOVER.

 Really so tragic and unnecessary.

This country was hijacked by a LUNATIC & His Misfits who were hell bent on destroying and dividing this country.  I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. 

WE LEARNED HOW MANY HATEFUL AND IGNORANT PEOPLE LIVE AMONG US. SCARY.

We started tracking this virus nine plus months ago. We have tragically passed the 300,000 mark with loss of lives. 

In the time it would take a woman to carry a child to term we have lost 300,000 PLUS LIVES.  WOW.

This virus has affected and destroyed millions of families. The US government under the leadership or really lack of leadership of that POS who squatted in the White House for four years has abandoned the AMERICA PEOPLE.

It is UNBELIEVABLE what this EVIL Man was allowed to do with no Consequences. It is well over a month since he LOST and he is still throwing a tantrum. 

Pathetic 70 plus million people were PLAYED and they are so fucking stupid they don;'t even realize it STILL. 

I just read the other day that his cult following believes that come January we are going to watch Donald Trump be sworn in as president.  Antonio Sabato Jr. posted this. Dude put the KOOL-AID DOWN. 

HE WILL FINALLY GET HIS BIGGEST CROWD AS HE FADES INTO THE DARKNESS OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE.  THE BIGGEST LOSER. 

He fast tracked the Supreme Court with those he believed would do his dirty work. They even realize the INSANITY OF THIS JOKER. 

Yet the followers still follow. DOES JIM JONES or DAVID KORESH sound familiar to you folks? 

OH MY GOD. I CAN NOT WAIT TIL JANUARY. CHANGE IS COMING. 

There is LIGHT & HOPE.

SENDING LOVE TO YOU ALL. THANKS FOR FOLLOWING MY JOURNEY. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS. 2021 IS GOING TO BE THE YEAR OF HEALING. 

 

FAITH RESTORED

 FAITH RESTORED.

So the day has finally come. Four years in the making.  Not a moment to soon.

November 3, 2020.  ELECTION 2020

GOOD PREVAILS OVER EVIL.

After days of counting ballots.  LOVE & COMPASSION WIN.

The soul of America will be RESTORED.  Time to UNITE.  Lead with LOVE & COMPASSION.

Speak with INTELLIGENCE.

Shocking to me that 70 MILLION PLUS PEOPLE were conned by a D-LIST reality TV Personality who is a failed business man along with his CRIMMINAL FAMILY & INCOMPETENT ADMINISTRATION.

Very sad to see so many people voting against their very own interests.  I am thrilled that the majority saw through this USED CAR SALESMANS PITCH.  He has been with out a plan for his whole term.  He kept saying that in his next term he was going to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. 

What he failed to mention is that we are currently living in TRUMPS AMERICA.  For some reason his followers believed the BULLSHIT he has been spewing this whole time. 

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.

TRUMPS AMERICA

20.5 MILLION PLUS PEOPLE OUT OF WORK SINCE COVID-19 

10.6 MILLION CASES  242,000PLUS DEATHS

These are just the two biggies........MY GOD. CRAZY.

120 DAYS  he would not where a mask. Thousands of lives could have been saved if he just followed the SCIENCE.

HE HAS GIVEN WHITE SUPREMACY A VOICE AND PLATFORM TO SPEW THEIR HATE.

I am so excited that close to 75 million of us decided to skip the KOOL-AID PARTY.

I am thrilled that after four years of being the laughing stock of the World. We now have all of those people around the world who were laughing and shaking their heads at us. They are now in the streets CELEBRATING OUR VICTORY.

Bright spot in a very dark year of World history.

I am finally excited and moved again by the AMERICA FLAG. 

For the past four years, I WAS NOT. I was embarrassed to be an AMERICAN.

It feels incredible to be on the right side of history. Also to watch history in the making. Not only do we have the oldest living president serving we are also in this administration have our very first female VICE PRESIDENT with Kamala Harris. Not only woman of color but also from an immigrant family. 

VERY EXCITING TIMES. 

Congratulations to Joe Biden President Elect & Kamala Harris Vice President Elect. 

We as humans resist change. CHANGE IS ESSENTIAL TO GROWTH. 

Here is to the CHANGE THAT IS UPON US. 

Hoping we find common ground that works for all of us. 

I will be so happy to be rid of that horrible family that has been squatting in the White House for the past four years.  

Also his unwillingness to concede as he continually cries of fake news tells me everything that I have know since the beginning. It speaks to his total lack of CHARACTER.  VERY SAD. 

ALSO WHEN ONE IS INNOCENT AND TRULY INNOCENT YOU DO NOT WORK SO HARD TO PROVE THAT INNOCENCE.  JUST SAYIN.

PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU ALL.

YOU GUESSED IT. SAYING GOODBYE AGAIN.

 YOU GUESSED IT.  SAYING GOODBYE AGAIN.

ANOTHER GOODBYE.

2020 WHAT A YEAR. 

It has been one goodbye after another. Can not wait til this year is OVER. 

KOBE, COVID & The Fight for EQUALITY.

Loss of job, home, friends. The loss of our FREEDOMS.

So much to process and navigate in these CRAZY & UNCERTAIN TIMES. 

Yesterday was Mental Health Day. Today is National Coming Out Day.

Yesterday was also the loss of a friend and Co-worker  since 1996.  So happy I was able to visit with my friend Michael O in LA before heading cross country. 

LOVE YOU MY FRIEND. KEEP THEM LAUGHING. REST WELL. 

Today is my friend Luke's Birthday. We lost Luke almost two years ago. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY.

Love and miss you both........Luke I know you guys have amazing company and are probably having a hell of a welcoming party for Michael. 

A LOT GOING ON.

Everyday for me is MENTAL HEALTH DAY. 

The only reason that I am still among the living is because I really pay attention to my MENTAL HEALTH. 

SELF CARE.

Putting yourself at the top of your list is not only OK. It is absolutely NECESSARY to keeping oneself WELL.

No need to make apologies.  WE ARE WORTH SAVING.

It is a process I must admit. It has taken me years to get to a place where I understand what my needs are for my own WELL BEING. 

Life is PRECIOUS. Life is SHORT. There are no GUARANTEE. 

We are still in the middle of this CRAZY PANDEMIC with ZERO LEADERSHIP. 

37.3 MILLION CASES WORLDWIDE 

1.07 MILLION DEATHS WORLDWIDE

7.75 MILLION CASES USA

214 THOUSAND CASES USA

These numbers are crazy and so unnecessary due to NEGLIGENCE.  

There are over ONE MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE who are no longer to have another day whose dreams were cut potentially before their time. 

In honor of these beautiful SOULS. We need to LIVE LIFE NOW. RESPONSIBLY. 

WHERE YOUR MASKS.  PLEASE THIS ELECTION MORE THAN ANYONE IN US HISTORY IS BEYOND IMPORTANT.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

 

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

 THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

So here we are now quickly approaching mid-September.  We are now six months into a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. 

WORLDWIDE CASES   27 MILLION

WORLDWIDE DEATH. 881 THOUSAND 

US CASES.                      6.26 MILLION

US DEATHS.                    193 THOUSAND

They are predicting there will be over 400 thousand deaths in US by January. 

The Clown is pleased with these numbers. UNBELIEVABLE.

There has been a tremendous amount of LOSS & SUFFERING.

What a 2020. I believe everyone would like a REDO.  CRAZY TIMES WE ARE ALL LIVING IN.

THE COUNTRY & THE WORLD PUT LIFE ON PAUSE.

Other countries have done much better with the handling of this PANDEMIC.

Here in the US. NOT SO MUCH.  

For the past almost four years the American people voted in a CLOWN to run the country. 

NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE NOT DOING SO WELL.

The US PASSPORT is at this moment practically USELESS. We are two months out from the elections. 

The CRIMINAL IN CHIEF IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO STEAL THE ELECTION YET AGAIN. 

Hoping and trusting that he will be unsuccessful this time around. 

THE DIVISION IN THIS COUNTRY IS LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Hoping or the best in November.  

VOTE. VOTE. VOTE. VOTE. VOTE .VOTE. VOTE. VOTE .VOTE. VOTE.

BIDEN/HARRIS.

I am still on the road. I am currently in Colorado. LOVING MY TIME HERE. 

I have been here for about a month. My first time here in summer/fall. SO BEAUTIFUL

The plan is to be here for another few weeks before jumping back in the car and heading to Florida for the season I am thinking. So the plan would be to be there from October to May. Of course I am very flexible with the itinerary at this time. 

I still am not working. It has been six months. The longest I have ever not worked since I was a boy. I am hoping to land something soon. 

My journey continues as I am in search of MEANING in all the madness we are living through.

I really need to GET QUITE so I can receive the answers to WHAT IS NEXT.

At times I want to keep on moving and other times I feel like it is time to find a place to set roots and build upon the life I have been living. 

Colorado is on the short list. I think I could really be happy here. 

New York is also on the short list. I would love to live in or have access to the GREATEST CTY IN THE WORLD. Fortunately/Unfortunately because of all of the deaths that New York has suffered. The rents are pretty affordable at the moment.

I think for me it is going to come down to I just decide on a place and invest the time and energy into making it work.  NOTHING IN LIFE IS FOREVER. 

If it does not work, I can always going back on the road.

I would love to move out of the country as well. I will live in Italy for awhile once things get back to whatever the NEW NORMAL is going TO BE.

I guess until I decide I will continue to EXPLORE & ADVENTURE. 

As fall is quickly approaching it is important to realize that CHANGE IS CRUCIAL FOR GROWTH. 

THE WORLD IS GOING THROUGH MANY CHALLENGES THIS YEAR. 

We either choose to grow or we are forced to grow. Either way it is for our own good. 

SENDING LOVE TO ALL OF US. 

5 MONTHS AND COUNTING

 5 MONTHS AND COUNTING.

WORLD CASES  (21,300,000-13,039,853 ) NEW CASES.   8,260,147 

WORLD DEATH  ( 773,769-571,659 )         NEW DEATH.      202,110 

USA CASES         (5,995,057-3,413,995).     NEW CASES.     2,581,062

USA DEATH         (172,234-137,782).           NEW DEATH.         34,452

These Numbers represent HUMAN LIVES

HUMAN LIVES LOST AND/OR SUFFERING

THESE NUMBERS ARE MIND BOGGLING. 

Here in the USA Each and every state are at a different phase of REOPENING. 

It is now the end of the summer and Schools are trying to figure out a safe way for kids to get back to class.

MIND YOU THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP DURING THIS INSANE TIME.

Parents are left with the choice of do I send my kid back to school with little to no insurance that they will be SAFE. I can't imaging being a parent right now. 

I wish EVERYONE WELL AND SEND THEM ALL LOVE.

Pandemic monies have been exhausted with no resolution as Washington has decided to go on VACATION for up to a month.

EXPLAIN TO ME, HOW THE FUCK YOU GO ON VACATION IN THE MIDDLE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, WITH CLOSE  TO 200,000 DEAD AND COUNTING.   WTF

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK. 

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS A COMPLETE JOKE. 

The US PASSPORT IS WORTHLESS.  MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. 

WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB. KIDDING OBVIOUSLY.

Hoping we turn a CURVE. 

These having been very trying times for many throughout the WORLD.  

Except for those PROFITING. There are MANY. 

I don't understand how people value money over HUMAN LIFE.  

HOPING ON NOVEMBER 3RD WE CAN FINALLY BECOME CANCER FREE & WORK ON FIXING THE MESS THAT HAS BEEN CREATED.

TRUSTING, HOPING & HAVING FAITH.

I have been out and about in between sheltering in Place. I have covered over eight thousand (8000) miles so far.  STRANGE AND INTERESTING TIMES TO BEING OUT THERE. 

SAFELY AS POSSIBLE AS I CAN.

I just drove out to COLORADO a few days ago.  I will be planted here for the next four to six weeks before heading across country to FLORIDA. That is what the plan is at the moment . This could all change of course.

COLORADO was always a place on my short list of places of laying down roots and building a life. 

I am thinking NOW many be a great time to just bite the bullet and COMMIT. I will be making a decision in the next week or so. The nice thing about Colorado is there is plenty of work here year road. They have seasonal work both summer and winter.

From what I understand their dead months are May and October which is great because that would leave me with 8 WEEKS VACATION.  Everybody knows how much I love vacation time. 

The more JOE TIME JOE HAS, THE HAPPIER I AM.

LIFE IS FRAGILE. LIFE IS PRECIOUS. 

Before arriving here in Colorado I made a quick stop in LA to visit with a friend and former co-woker. 

My good friend Michael has been in a facility this whole year dealing with some serious health issues.

He is finally able to receive visitors. He has been in lockdown due to Covid-19. 

Once the word got out that he was able to receive visitors. I said that I must/ and want to make this trip to go and see him. 

He was surprised. It was a nice visit.  He was trying to keep his spirits up but it was difficult.

 We sat for about 30 mins. Me is my car with my mask on and he at 8-12 feet distance with his mask on. 

He was grateful for the love and support. He decided to cut the visit short. We both knew that this was going to be the last time we would see each other. SAD.

I told him to take care of himself and I would check in with him. Told him I loved him and drove away.

LIFE IS TOUGH AT TIMES. 

DO NOT WAIT ON ANYTHING IN LIFE. 

WE JUST HAVE THE NOW. 

MUCH LOVE TO ALL OF US.

SURROUNDED BY CHAOS

SURROUNDED BY CHAOS.

So here we are a few days shy of two months which was my last post.

Much has happened over the past eight weeks. Since my last post, once the stay at home order was lifted I took to the road on a 6000 mile, 7 state road trip.

I was SHELTERED IN PLACE for 6 plus weeks in Northern California and was beginning to loose my mind.

GRATEFUL FOR THE SAFE SPACE TO SHELTER.  SO GRATEFUL.

I was needing DESPERATELY to BREATHE AGAIN and BE OUT IN THE WORLD.

The trip was FREEING.
At the same time it was very STRANGE time to be out traveling in the middle of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Not only during a pandemic but GLOBAL PROTESTS & RIOTS over the murder of GEORGE FLOYD that we witnessed LIVE on TV.

INSANE TIMES. I was in Los Angeles during the RIOTS over RODNEY KING.

So people took to the streets WORLDWIDE IN SUPPORT OF (BLM)

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

What really troubles me is that there needs to be a BLACK LIVES, WOMENS LIVES, GAY LIVES, TRANS LIVES MATTER.

THIS WHITE PRIVILEGE ATTITUDE AND MOVEMENT IS FUCKED UP.

This obviously was unexpected while I was out traveling.
EVERY MAJOR CITY WAS INVOLVED.

CITIES UNDER CURFEW,LOCKDOWN, NATIONAL GUARD.

HISTORICAL TIMES.
I was in LOS ANGELES, LAS VEGAS, SAN FRANCISCO, OAKLAND & PORTLAND during all of this. I was able to take part in some of the protests in the various cities and photograph the aftermath.  POWERFUL.

I am working on a few projects that I hope to be able to share with you all soon.

Throughout everything happening in the World.
I personally who has never suffered from ANXIETY all of a sudden am now feeling very anxious. Prior to me going on the road and now since I have been back anxiety has been an issue. I am TRUSTING it will subside.

While out on the road I really tried my best to be PRESENT and take in all of the beauty that I was so grateful to be able to drive through and explore.

The United States is filled with such diverse beauty. I think I did a good job at capturing much of it on this trip. I hope to share the journey with you all soon.

If I am being honest I must say it was STRESSFUL being out there as well.  I have been HOMELESS since the beginning of March.  I must give props to all the homeless folks out there. I don't know how  you all do it. From my understanding from speaking to folks many choose this life. Damn it is a hard life.

Saying that I don't even know really the first thing about it as I have been without a place to call home and have been living in hotels. I KNOW NOT REALLY HOMELESS.
That being said It has caused me much STRESS & ANXIETY of not having a SET OF KEYS that fit into a lock that allows me to enter MY OWN SAFE SPACE.

Very unsettling  living in a world SURROUNDED IN CHAOS during these INSANE TIMES not having a SAFE SPACE to SHELTER.

Luckily for me I am a bit of a NOMAD. I can and will adapt.
I am BLESSED with some great friends who have opened their homes to me to SHELTER IN
THEIR SAFE SPACES.   I am and will be FOREVER GRATEFUL.

But that has caused me a great dealing of anxiety as well seeing I was out traveling and possibly EXPOSED OR INFECTED WITH COVID. Knowing that I may bring something back and get someone sick unknowingly. STRESSFUL.

I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES IN NUMEROUS STATES TO GET TESTED.  THEY DO NOT MAKE IT EASY. I HAVE YET TO GET TESTED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

I FEEL FINE. I was just trying to be RESPONSIBLE to those hosting me.

Also throughout all this I have not always made the best choices regarding dealing with stress.

But rather than beat myself up I am a human who makes mistakes. I have made many in life. This crazy time in life I have also. I FORGIVE ME.

These are very dark, sad and divisive times in history.
REALLY IT SEEMS LIKE THE WORLD IS ON A RUNAWAY TRAIN. WE ARE FAILING.

TRYING TO BE HOPEFUL. BUT REALIZING THE HATE WE ARE UP AGAINST.

THE KOOL AIDE   MUST BE REALLY TASTY.

WORLD CASES 13,039,853 -4,097,158 NEW CASES. 8,942,695
WORLD DEATH 571,659-282,495.        NEW DEATH 289,164

US CASES.          3,413,995-1,362,715.  NEW CASES. 2,051,280
US DEATH.         137,782. -80;5672.      NEW CASES 57,220

SO CASES ARE SPIKING IN MOST EVERY STATE.

Just today California ordered business to CLOSE DOWN YET AGAIN.

PEOPLE JUST WHERE YOUR FUCKING MASKS. STOP BEING SO SELFISH & STUPID.
IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE KARENS & KYLES??????????

SUCH HATE AND UGLINESS IN THE WORLD TODAY

WE CAN DO BETTER.

PEACE AND BLESSINGS,

JOE

My thoughts today are with NAYA RIVERE'S FAMILY. Her body was found 5 days after going boating in LAKE PIRU Very sad ending. She was found on the 7th anniversary of her co-star CORY MONTEITH death.

My thoughts are with JOHN TRAVOLTA and his family as he announced his wife KELLY PRESTONS death after a 2 year battle with breast cancer.

My thoughts are with LISA MARIE PRESLEY and her family as they more the death of her son Ben who also died yesterday due to suicide.

My thoughts are with NICK CORDERO and his family as he lost his 95 day battle with COVID-19
and to all those who senselessly have lost their life and our fighting this battle.

I also think of GEORGE FLOYD, BREONNA TAYLOR, AHMAUD AUBREY and the countless others who have been unjustly targeted and killed.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN.

Today I sit in GRATITUDE for MY LIFE.

I have been blessed with GOOD FRIENDS, FAMILY & HEALTH.

This time in Isolation and Social Distancing has given me/ us plenty of time to GO INWARD.

During these Chaotic times which we collectively as humans on this planet are not only witnessing but are unfortunately a part of, has really made me aware of how FRAGILE & SHORT our LIFE IS.

In the big scheme of things we are only here for a minute.

I have been sheltering now for the past 60 DAYS. INSANE.

This Friday 5/15/20 the STAY AT HOME ORDER IS BEING LIFTED HERE IN CALIFORNIA.

READY, SET, GO.

I will be packing up my car and getting back on the road. EXPLORING & LIVING LIFE.

These are anxiety ridden times for so many, including MYSELF.

Through witnessing all of the INSANITY, I have decided the healthiest thing for me and I can only speak for myself is to get out there and to begin to live life again.

If we do not THEY/IT WINS.

We are in the middle of a GLOBAL TERRORIST ATTACK.  UNCERTAIN TIMES FILLED WITH LOSS/DEATH AND FEAR.

By succumbing to the FEAR, THEY/IT WINS.

My belief is whatever is going to happen in life is going to happen.

WE ARE UP AGAINST THE UNKNOWN.

Thinking about what I just typed. We are up against the unknown EVERYDAY.

Everyday there are a number of people throughout the world who begin their day with intentions and drive and never make it through the day for any number of reasons.

I believe that our time here on this earth is limited and an EXPIRATION DATE already EXISTS.

WE MUST NOT LIVE IN FEAR.

I wish us all well as we move though this mine field called LIFE. My heart goes out to all who have been lost.
These time are INSANE.
On top of the craziness happening with the Corona Virus, I had three coworkers die as well. SUICIDE, DRUG OVERDOSE,HEART ATTACK.

Jamie,Tyrone and Mario REST WELL.

I attended my first YOUTUBE wake and funeral.  BEYOND SURREAL.
 I say a Hollywood scriptwriter could not write what is going on in the WORLD.

Our lives are forever altered. I hope the change that happens through this tragedy is that we all come out the other
side as more loving beings. THAT IS IT.

ALL MY LOVE.  LIVE WITHOUT  FEAR.

BE SMART. STAY SAFE. THINK OF MORE THAN JUST YOURSELF. KNOW THE FACTS.

THE NUMBERS AS OF 5/10/20

WORLD CASES
4,097,158-3,560,911 = 536,247 NEW CASES IN ONE WEEK

DEATHS
282,495-248,024 = 34,471

USA CASES
1,362,715-1,154,340=208,375

DEATHS
80,562-68,089= 12,473

AGAIN THESE NUMBERS REPRESENT HUMAN LIFE AND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PAIN FOR THEIR LOVED ONES.


HOPING & TRUSTING THE END IS NEAR.

THE ROAD IS CALLING. LIFE IS CALLING. ANSWER THE CALL.

MUCH LOVE.

LIFE ON PAUSE

LIFE ON PAUSE.

Today is May 3, 2020.

It is four days from my entrance into the WORLD.

54 years I have been on this journey called LIFE. What a ride it has been.

Each and every year I try to be in a DIFFERENT  part of the World having new experiences, seeing new locations and meeting new people.

This year is no different. This year is one for the books.  I will be celebrating and reflecting in ISOLATION.

Thankfully I have been weathering these CRAZY TIMES with a buddy in Northern California.
There has been no shortage of LAUGHTER.

The COUNTRY/GLOBE has been pretty much closed down since early March due to COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS.

It has been interesting and trying times the past couple of months.

The country/world SLOWLY began to shut down operations. I like MILLIONS & MILLIONS of people have been affected by the SHUTDOWN.

I personally lost my job and place to live. TOURISM took a HUGE HIT.

Since the pandemic began I had to pack up my cabin and vacate. I started a new journey on the road to the UNKOWN.

I headed to Las Vegas for a few days to land and figure out what was NEXT.  From Las Vegas I headed to Oakland to stay with my friend Aaron.

 Currently I am SHELTERED IN PLACE with friends in Patterson, California.

I am filled with GRATITUDE for Tomas and his sister opening their home to me

My ANXIETY which I have never suffered has increased tremendously over the past few weeks. so much so that I have decided to give EDIBLES a try.  The anxiety is mainly because I do not have a set of KEYS that can be placed into a lock, MY LOCK to enter my own HOME.

STRESSFUL.

FLEXIBILITY IS KEY.
We must be open to not have everything be OK. But yet TRUST that it will be OK.

I have always said that once we step outside, we enter an unsafe space where we are at the mercy of what is out in the WORLD.

My God does this hold true today.

THE UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES, THE NUMBERS RISE, THE RESTLESSNESS CONTINUES.

IS IT SAFE TO GO OUTSIDE?
IS IT SAFE TO OPEN UP, OR ARE WE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE?

WE JUST DON'T KNOW.   TIME WILL TELL.

Today there will be people throughout the world whose FINAL DAY unbeknownst to them will be TODAY.

HEART ATTACK, STROKE, CANCER, CHILDHOOD ILLNESS, CAR ACCIDENT, MURDER, SUICIDE, AIDS, COVID-19

ANY ONE OF THESE MAY END OUR TIME ON THIS LEG OF OUR JOURNEY.

WE MUST NOT BE AFRAID. WE MUST LIVE. WE MUST BE RESPONSIBLE, BUT WE MUST LIVE.

I HOPE WE ALL COME THROUGH THIS TIME AND WE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHY WE ARE HERE, AND OUR PURPOSE ON THIS EARTH.

MY LOVE TO ALL OF YOU.

TO OUR ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND FRONT LINE WORKERS. YOU ARE OUR MODERN DAY HEROS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

THE NUMBERS THIS WEEK.

CASES WORLDWIDE
3,560,911 INCREASE 592,284 IN ONE WEEK
248,024.   INCREASE   41,622 IN ONE WEEK

CASES USA
1,154,340 INCREASE  189,403 IN ONE WEEK
68,089.     INCREASE   13,248  IN ONE WEEK

THESE NUMBERS AGAIN REFLECT HUMAN LIVES AND FAMILIES SUFFERING.

WE NEED TO STEP BACK AND THINK BEYOND HOW IS THIS AFFECTING JUST OURSELVES.

WE ARE BETTER THAN ALL OF THE SELFISHNESS HAPPENING OUT THERE.

THESE ARE DARK TIMES. WITHOUT DARKNESS THERE CAN NOT BE LIGHT.
BRIGHTER DAYS ARE AHEAD. WE MUST BELIEVE.

KEEPING IT REAL-THE NUMBERS

KEEPING IT REAL- THE NUMBERS

So we are closing out another week in the midst of COVID-19

During these trying times
 I am trying to make use of my time. I have decided to refocus on my blog. Wanting to be more consistent with my writing.  I have committed to a new blog post once a week.

Trying like so many of us from losing my mind. I have decided that I need to look at the time as a GIFT.

When am I ever going to have an extended paid vacation.  I KNOW THIS IS NOT A VACATION.

FOR SO MANY THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE.  MY HEART BREAKS AND I CRY TEARS FOR US ALL.

I am trying to find the SILVER LINING in all of this TRAGEDY.

I am filled with GRATITUDE that as of THIS MOMENT all of my friends, family and loved ones are SAFE.  I am very well aware this can all change at any TIME.

This morning I came across a post from Deepak Chopra:

The best use of imagination is CREATIVITY.
The worst use of imagination is ANXIETY.

VERY POWERFUL. I at this time am bouncing back and forth between the two.

What keeps me going and gives me life is TRAVELING  & MY PHOTOGRAPHY.

My traveling as you all know has come to a screeching halt. That is where my anxiety is kicking in.
My photography is also at this time very limited.
Both of these activities are what makes MY HEART BEAT.

I love to share my journey with you all. I look forward to being able to get out there and resume and adjust to whatever are NEW NORMAL is going to be.

In the mean time I will share my THOUGHTS & WORDS with you.

During these downtimes, I am working on a few creative projects which I hope to be able to share with you all at a later time.

In the midst of all of all of this. We are all given this TIME to work on SELF. There is an OPPORTUNITY for us all to come through this as BETTER HUMANS.

During this time we are seeing the EARTH REPAIR ITSELF.
By seeing this happen we also need to be aware of how we have damaged the EARTH.

We are also witnessing how much healthier the earth is without our participation. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

I WISH YOU ALL TIME TO REFLECT AND REIMAGINE HOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AND SUPPORT AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND THIS AMAZING PLANET THAT WE SHARE.

In closing the LOSS that we are suffering is GUT WRENCHING. The numbers are going up by the hour.

In honor of the many lives that were, and will continue to be lost so we can remain and CONTINUE ON OUR JOURNEY WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

MUCH LOVE. LOOKING FORWARD TO HAPPIER TIMES.

The Numbers

WORLDWIDE

Cases         2,968,627         ONE WEEK INCREASE     658,055
Deaths           206,402.       ONE WEEK INCREASE.       47,711

USA

Cases.        964,937          ONE WEEK INCREASE.     224,949
Deaths.        54,851          ONE WEEK INCREASE.       15,913

THESE ARE NOT NUMBERS.
THESE ARE HUMAN LIVES  FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING/ LOVED ONES DEAD

These numbers are HUGH.

This is a time to THINK OF OTHERS.

OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO THE FACT OTHERS MAY BE HURTING AND SUFFERING MUCH MORE THAN YOU.

YOU ARE STILL ALIVE. ACCEPT & BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT GIFT.

Like flowers in springtime. This is a new beginning.

Deaths

HIGH ANXIETY

HIGH ANXIETY.

So I have lost count of the days as we are all STILL sheltered in place.

The death toll as well as the number of cases is on the rise.

The numbers as of last night which is seven days from my last post. JUST ONE WEEK.

Cases in the World. 2,310,572 up almost 500,000 Cases.

DEATHS 158,691 up from 100,000 World Wide That is 58,691 people in JUST ONE WEEK

Cases in the United States 739,988 up from 500,000 up almost 240,000 Cases

DEATHS 38,928 up from 20,000 up 18,928 in JUST ONE WEEK.

These numbers are not very promising.  Actually quite scary.

Currently we have not even tested 2% of the population. These numbers are ridiculous.

The SQUATTER in the White House is talking about reopening the country.   We in no way are in a position to REOPEN.

We are dealing with a virus which has shut down the World. Cases are on the RISE.

I can not believe that this SLIMY USED CAR SALESMEN is who is the one in charge at this crucial moment in WORLD HISTORY.

It is an absolute joke and terrifying at the same time...........I keep hoping somewhere ASHTON KUTCHER is going to appear and say AMERICA YOU HAVE BEEN PUNKED.

If only that were the case.

My anxiety level is through the roof.  The crazy thing is I don't even suffer or never have suffered anxiety. 

This COVID-19 IS VERY SERIOUS.

I am less afraid of the virus. My ANXIETY IS BEING CAUSED BY THE IGNORANT AND IDIOTIC PEOPLE that I have to share space with and breathe the same air as.


FRIENDS AND FAMILY INCLUDED.

FUCK FOX NEWS.
PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP.

I feel like I am living in an alternate universe.

People have been brainwashed. I cant believe people are denying science. Not taking the advise of the medical professionals.

I have said it before a Hollywood script writer could not write this tragedy that we have been living through the past almost four years.

I am trying to remain hopeful. But it is getting harder and harder by the day when I see the news and I am on social media and see the hateful people that walk on this planet spewing hate.

MY HEART HURTS.

During this time of ISOLATION  & QUARANTINE I am trying to go within and REFLECT.

We need to come out of this on the other side and doing better than we have been doing.

These are growing pains that we are collectively going through. There is no way that we could come through this without growing. GROWTH AND CHANGE is essential for our survival in whatever will be our NEW NORMAL.

I HAD TO EXIT SOCIAL MEDIA AND GIVE MYSELF A BREAK AND TIME TO PROCESS WHAT IS HAPPENING AND TO BEGIN TO HEAL.

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ME HAS BEEN TOXIC DURING THIS TIME.

I HOPE AND I PRAY FOR US TO BECOME BETTER VERSIONS OF OURSELVES THROUGH THIS TIME.  I PRAY FOR ALL OF US.

I HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUT OF GRATITUDE FOR ALL THOSE OUT THERE MAKING THESE TRYING TIMES  A BIT MORE TOLERABLE FOR ALL MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

Thank you.

A few mentions my friends CeCe Tsou, Tess Martin and Peter Russell

You are bright lights in these dark times.

Also want to send some love to Lady Gaga
Thank you for your kind and generous heart.

SHELTER IN PLACE

SHELTER IN PLACE..........WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

COVID-19 has now KILLED over 100,000 People Worldwide and Over 20,000 people here in America.

CASES WORLDWIDE AS OF THIS ENTRY 1,777,515
CASES AMERICA AS OF THIS ENTRY  533,259

Pretty much everyone in the World is in SELF ISOLATION.

The orders out of Los Angeles county call for an extension til May 15TH TO STAY AT HOME.

Crazy, Crazy Times.

We as humans are SOCIAL CREATURES.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT IS FOREVER CHANGED.

We are approaching 60 plus days that we are told to not leave our homes.

This is all so weird.

We are seeing images from around the globe of tourist destinations VOID OF PEOPLE.

No more more telling than NYC where on any given day is bustling with 9 million plus people.

The streets are EMPTY. The EPICENTER. My beautiful New York.

Usually this time of year as New Yorkers have come out of hibernation from a winters slumber the city is alive again.

Spring is in the air Central Park is magical. NOT THIS YEAR.

It is like the city has FLATLINED.   For so many this has become an unfortunate reality as NYC become the city in the world with the most confirmed cases.

NYC is such a vibrant and resilient city.. But what is taking place hurts my heart, along with watching this pandemic sweep the world.
 INFECTING & KILLING God knows how many  by the time we get a handle on this.

There was an article i read today that the POPE was quoted as saying
" MAYBE THIS IS GODS WAY TO CORRECT CLIMATE CHANGE."

Very thought provoking.  The earth is getting a chance to BREATHE & REJUVENATE.

There is beauty in tragedy and loss.

The air is visibly cleaner, which is ironic as people that are dying are literally choking to death.

Mother Earth is beginning to BREATHE AGAIN.

My heart goes out to everyone out there on the front lines.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Cases and deaths are increasing by the hour.  I am hoping for a quick resolve. Unfortunately I think we are at the beginning of what are new world is.

Winston Churchill was quote as saying " There are Beginnings and Endings, Maybe this is the BEGINNING OF THE END. "

I pray that it is.

MY HEART IS IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUT OF PAIN WATCHING THE WORLD SUFFER.

My thoughts are with all of those sick and suffering as well as all those family and loved ones lost during this crazy times.  I cant even image the horror both and your families are going through.

It is INSANE and TRAGIC that family members are fighting this fight ALONE. Many having to send their loved to the hospital to never see them again.

Saying their final goodbyes on ZOOM.

As I sit here typing this I CRY.

I MOURN THE LOSS OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.

I TRUST THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN. TRUSTING COLLECTIVELY AS A WORLD WE WILL BE BETTER BECAUSE YOU WERE ALL IN IT.

BECAUSE OF YOU ALL THE WORLD MAKES A HUGE SHIFT AND BECOMES A MORE LOVING AND KIND WORLD.

If I myself live to witness this shift just know that I /WE will be forever indebted to all of you beautiful SOULS for being the ANGELS WHO CREATED THE NEW WORLD.

THANK YOU.  FLY FREE.

WE NEED TO LOVE AND TRUST THE LIGHT WILL SHINE AGAIN.

LIFE IN 2020

LIFE IN 2020.      

MASS HYSTERIA    COVID-19

So as we are being more affected by this Covid-19 Virus.

Things are getting VERY SERIOUS.

The virus is like the fires that were burning in Australia for so long.

COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL.

The numbers they are projecting for infection and deaths are STAGGERING

They are reporting up to 150 million infected with 500,00 plus deaths.   If this in fact is true that is like 1 in 3 AMERICANS.

AMERICANS ALONE.

As of today there are cases in 42 of the 50 states. I believe the cases worldwide is 110 countries.

This is INSANE.

Latest Stats.

STOCK MARKET IN A FREE FALL

Was in contact with a friend in Italy which has been one of the hardest hit countries.  They said this is much more serious than the US Government is letting on.

Hospitals can not keep up with the numbers of people in need of medical treatment.

Every country has been taking this very seriously and taking necessary precautions.

The ASSHOLE who has been SQUATTING in the WHITE HOUSE and FOX FUCKING NEWS has been saying it is all a HOAX.

Thankfully there are people out there that do not support or believe a single thing this FRAUD SAYS.

Because of that they are looking out for there fellow man and communities by taking necessary precautions.

PEOPLE WAKE UP.

We would not be dealing with this under any other presidents administration.   This administration has been an AGGRESSIVE CANCER ON THE US AND THE WORLD.

He has jeoperdized the US relations throughout the world because of his NARCISSISTIC  EGO.

Whoever is behind this is PURE EVIL. This did not just HAPPEN.

PEOPLE GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND.

We are now at the beginning of what ever this is. It is being called a GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

The fallout will be HUGE.

It is getting UGLY & REAL.

PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY.

My take on it all. Taking into account the unpredictability and seriousness of it all.

WE CAN LET FEAR STOP US FROM LIVING.

911
AIDS.            Now COVID-19 or we can CHOSE TO LIVE.

I was speaking with a friend today, I said even with all of this GLOOM is no different than any other day.

Every day we wake up, we wake up to uncertainty. WE DO NOT KNOW.

Today here on the mountain was a gorgeous day. Driving into town I could have driven the car off the canyon due to a tire blowing out or me trying to avoid hitting a deer.  I could have chocked on my sweet potato fries while at lunch at Big Al's. I could have had a heart attack at the grocery store.

While writing this post I could have had a stroke. Perhaps I may die in my sleep tonight.

The one thing I KNOW is whatever is happening in the world right now is not going to stop me from LIVING LIFE.

I GET TO MAKE THE CHOICE & SO DO YOU.

DON'T LET FEAR STOP YOU FROM LIVING.

THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.

We are seeing MASS HYSTERIA. To see it is INSANE.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE.........LOVE AND BE KIND.

Thoughts are with us ALL.

MUCH LOVE.

EVEN IS DARKNESS THERE IS LIGHT.

JUST LIVE

JUST LIVE.

Crazy things happening in the World at the moment.

The World is at the beginning of a health crisis, that has had a GLOBAL REACH.

Many people infected. Also a number of deaths reported.

Many countries are taking great precautions to limit the spread of the virus.

Japan has cancelled all schools for 4-5 weeks.

Venice cancelled Carnival.

Airlines are cancelling flights.

Possibility of the Olympics in Japan being cancelled if we don't get a handle on things SOON.

Cruise ships being turned away at port destinations.

Just today I read that schools are being cancelled in parts of Italy until further notice.

A HUGH PANIC CREATED WORLDWIDE.

It is INSANE to me how crazed people are getting. It has instilled GREAT FEAR.

MANY PEOPLE QUARANTINED.

People racing to stores to STOCKPILE SUPPLIES.

My thoughts on this whole ordeal. People are so FEARFUL OF DEATH.

Something we all must face, at some point in our lives.  The death of family, friends, pets, neighbors, strangers and eventually OUR own.

I believe people are so fearful of dying because they are not really living the lives they want to be living.

They are putting off living fully. VERY DANGEROUS THING TO DO.

Now they are running scared because they may not get the chance.

I am not saying what is happening in the World today is not something to be concerned about. IT IS.

We as a World have survived much on this journey. We will survive this as well.

PEOPLE JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE NOW. THAT SIMPLE.

JUST LIVE.

It is pointless in my opinion to FEAR DEATH.

I MYSELF AM MORE FEARFUL OF NOT FULLY LIVING.

WASH YOUR HANDS, STOP WORRYING, WHAT WILL BE WILL BE.

LIVE YOUR LIFE.

PEACE AND BLESSINGS

WAKE UP AND LIVE.........MAYBE THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR US TO GET OUT OF OUR OWN WAY.

 SPEND TIME IN NATURE IT DOES A BODY GOOD.

THIS IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL. THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

REFLECTING ON LOSS

SLOW START.

REFLECTING ON LOSS

I closed out 2019 sick and went in 2020 sick.

It has been a ROUGH START to 2020.

2019 was a year of tremendous loss.
The year closed itself out with the loss of 13 friends and family members. I know in life there is loss. It is part of LIVING LIFE.

Of course the older we get it become more likely.  The loss of my friends and family were between the ages of 40-60.

That is young. They all had so much more life to live. Gifts to share.  A few were fighting and got to a point where they were unable to continue fighting.

Some were waging war with their bodies, other waging war with their minds. Some just wound up leaving with no warnings whatsoever.

CANCER, SUICIDE, STROKE, HEART ATTACK.

Do not even know how you go about processing so much loss. We just began the one year anniversaries of all of the loss.

What I believe I have learned through all of the loss is that we must accept the loss and in my belief that all those that have gone have completed their work here. Because of that they were able to move on to what is NEXT.

Those of us still here trying to navigate LIFE  are here because there are lessons that we still need to LEARN. Gifts we still have to SHARE.

I am not even sure that I have even properly mourned all of these beautiful people who have gone.

In honor of them all, I am working really hard on LIVING MY BEST LIFE.

So many of us merely EXIST. I don't want to just exist. We are not meant to just EXIST.

From all this loss I understand in the big scheme of things we are really only loaned the bodies that we are in for a very short period of time.  I have known this from a very young age but still have BLOCKED MY BLESSING through the years due to not feeling WORTHY, FEAR and SELF SABOTAGE

I HAVE WASTED so much of the time that I have been here already.

My goal moving forward is to honor not only my friends lost last year, but all those that have been lost weather I have personally known them or not.

 TO LIVE LIFE IN THE NOW. LIVE LIFE FULL OUT.

I sit here writing this entry on the 25th Anniversary of my grandmother Madeline Corinas  passing. She was fortunate to live to 89 years of age.

As she was preparing for her transition. She said," 89 years goes by really quick".

We as humans waste so much time giving energy to things that do not matter.

LIFE IS ABOUT LIVING JOYFULLY, BEING KIND AND HAVING A LOVING HEART.

Also LOVE YOURSELF.

In life there is darkness and light. Beauty can be found in both.

In life there will be OBSTACLES and STRUGGLES without a doubt. We get to choose how we RESPOND to these UPSETS.

Are CHOICE will make all the difference.

To all those that embarked on new journeys last year.
Thank you for allowing me to share space with you while we were both traveling here on Earth. I look froward to catching up with you all and sharing time and space wherever you all may be traveling  now.

I HOLD YOU ALL DEAR TO MY HEART.

PEACE & BLESSINGS
