My second installment of my YouTube vlog delayed .

The light in my kitchen burned out. Have to wait for maintenance to come fix it.

I was halfway through and Bam. Track record for them to come soon is not good.

Lighting is everything when you are trying to do a good YouTube video.

My tablet is what I will use for the next one. It will be me talking about this and that. It will be more issues and a little update on me. Just hope the orange dictator doesn't pull a big boner right after I post.
But I have been fighting with lighting. Long time ago, I had a lighting kit. But now I don't. Going to have to film in the kitchen area I think. Brightest light in the apartment.
Also, I have a an American flag that I I was thinking of using as a backdrop. Know a couple of people who can help me hang it.
And my eye patch will be in tomorrow, so I won't have to have an eye closed as I'm filming.

But back to the lighting. I was thinking about using the flashlight on my phone to help, but I need it to keep notes and look up quotes. I do have a couple of mirrors and some tin foil that can help bounce light to help with shadow issues. But it will still not be the best. Just hope viewers will be understand, this is being done with a "need shoestrings" budget.

So I did end up taking with Satan yesterday.....

My Ex.
He has "loaned" me what I needed to finish out what I needed for the rent.
He seems to have enjoyed seeing me so freaking down, but I will at least have a roof for one more month.

Now I just need to keep Trooper in dogfood and me in TP.

Homelessness is a Systemic Problem, not a Lifestyle Choice.

Recently, I found myself among a group of upper and middle level managers from an internationally known Fortune 500 Company. Somehow our conversation drifted away from business and the topic of homelessness came up.

I was utterly shocked, but ultimately not surprised to learn the men and women I found myself sitting with, in that plush and well-appointed board room, actually believed homelessness in the United States has nothing to do with society, and everything to do with the mistakes and failings of individuals.

They believed that homelessness, incarceration, addiction, poverty and a whole range of multi-pronged issues were not the result of failed systems but instead the logical and anticipated result of lifestyle choices taken by those simply lacking the mental and moral fortitude to know better.

As someone coming from a social work background, this was not the first time I found my view points at odds with those of my colleagues in the business world.

Look back at FB, there were signs pointing to what I happening to me now.

You know how FB tells you that you have memories to look back on? Well, looking back at some of mine I see things like issues with my tows feeling like they were all curled up in my shoes and could not get them to stop it. And when I was able to set down and take my shoes off my tows were not curled. And today a memory came up from a year ago about the left side of my face going numb.

Thinking of these warning signs....
I didn't want to make a big deal. I just thought it was stress from my job. Doc thought I needed to stop pushing myself like I did (can't push myself now).
I feel like an idiot. Why didn't I see something was supper wrong?

Randy Rainbow "Just Impeach Him".

I can see why not just yet. Because of the other half of the Congress. They need so much evidence that if the republicans don't vote to Impeach, it will be political suicide.
But when I see that orange dictator embarrassing us, I find myself saying, "Just Impeach him already"!
