- I think he's the wake up call America needed to finally realize that this country won't be great again if we just sit down, do nothing and expect things to get better on their own. I realized this when multitudes of women, predominately black, came out to protest against senator Moore's campaign run due to his sexual misconduct towards minors, causing his defeat. When I read this, I thought to myself "You see? We all could've come out and protested against him [Trump] during the presidential campaign, just like these amazing women did, against Moore." Instead we all assumed he was done as a result of his "grab them [women] by the..." comment. I've always said "assumptions are deadly." We probably still will do nothing even though he called us minorities "*********".
- Expect the worst, be prepared for everything.
- Music keeps me sane.
- If you can't help but write lyrics, compose then record music and all that other good stuff regardless of whether you're making money from it or not, then it's for you. Keep doing your thing regardless of what anyone tells you. Also, scrutinize all info that comes your way. Such info could lead to resources such as new technology or services that can really help you be more successful.
