I am a little hurt by one of the directors of a new documentary about skid row

This person was a resident at the Midnight Mission before he was a director. I can't believe the things he told me last night on the skid row watch walk. He said I had no idea what the Midnight Mission was all about. If I didn't know how important the Midnight Mission is to skid row , I would have never done the things I have done to support their programs nor would I have gone to a zoning hearing as a resident of skid row who didn't live in the Mission, to speak on their behalf of the Midnight Mission's move many years ago to where they are now, two days after being in the intensive care unit because of a flare up of the demyelinating neuropathy.

Maybe he sees himself as doing more for the Mission because he is making a documentary and can bring attention to the Mission . As I was telling Thomas, the director, after the skid row walk last night about certain things, that person began to tell me that I didn't know about the mission. I don't care how much I love the Midnight Mission and it's programs I will always say it is important that all of us know how they spend their money. He wants to yell at me in the middle of skid row in front of the Midnight Mission.

Maybe it is because I said that one of my goals is to make millions and donate those millions and get on the board of directors of these organizations so that we can have real people making sure that they treat the people right. He said so sarcastically that that will never happen. This is why skid row is the way it is. I have to stay focused. I will never be a non profit. I have my business starting and will not be a non profit that depends on homelessness as my bread and butter.

I know more about the Midnight Mission than he will ever know. I got angry because that person does not know the sacrifices I have made for the Midnight Mission. Last night I was reminded by Orlando Ward that it is getting close to buying that brick with my name on it. IT means I am now moving on to a different phase in my life and responsibilities.

For my dear friend Richard Feagin - Sifu Richard Feagin

For some odd reason when I heard news that my childhood friend was killed in a car accident I thought of another friend we used to get together with and sing this song and others. We were all a bunch of christian rednecks. Didn't drink , smoke, use drugs and searching for wives and not whoring around. Richard Feagin introduced me to the world of anime. HE went on to beome a master karate instructor. Who would have thought. He was a close friend that helped me work out lot's of questions I had in puberty. Girls and all that. Kept us out of trouble to be two guys who were waiting for the right girl to marry. HE leaves two young children and a beautiful wife. None of the renditions of this song on the internet even come close to the ozark type of twang we used. I can still sing like that. Raised on that Southern Baptist Gospel Music. I will give alist of my favorites. We used the banjo a lot. This is not my home On the wings of a dove- this is the version I remember growing u...

To those who think that Marijuana has never killed anyone

Update: once again marijuana used by sexual deviants to assault young teenagers who skipped school. When officers arrived, the men were gone, he said. "It looks like this house was not lived in," Taylor said. The girls told police they met the men at the Paseo Colorado mall on Colorado Boulevard, where they were playing hooky from school, he said. The men then invited the girls to the Idaho Street house, he added. Once there, the men brought out alcohol and marijuana and gave it to the 14-year-olds before sexually assaulting them, he said. Marijuana is addictive and it is also plain fun for many young people . John Wayne Gacy used MArijuana to lure young men into his home Jeffrey Dahmer used marijuana to lure young men he killed into his home Jaime Green, who lives at the Southern Hotel operated by SRO HOusing Corporation, uses his medical marijauna to lure young males to his room to molest them...and he is a registered sex offender that has to register e...
