It Can Happen to Anyone!
The recent fires in Hawaii are just the latest example of how homelessness can hit anyone at any time.
As of the filming of this video, I happen to be fortunate enough to be in a motel room. Just last week I was sleeping in a pop up trailer in a Walmart parking lot for about 8 days or so. Where as, this time last year I was doing so well for myself. Had a beautiful place just a block away from the beach and driving a sick BMW convertible. But I know that this will only make me stronger and will remind me to appreciate the blessings in my life even more.

Okay, so I'm gonna go in a little bit of a rant here and that is people really need to stop being so damn judgmental um people who are homeless because you know what pretty much everybody in California at least is at least a month away from probably being homeless themselves but you know what can happen to anybody okay so don't get you know too high in mighty thinking that it can never happen to you it can happen to anybody alright um shit I know I'm speaking from experience I'm homeless right now myself okay so yeah it's not something I like to talk about a lot because to be frank it's kind of embarrassing but you know what house fire I don't know where and we barely made it out with our lives second time that a fire happened and we lost everything but at least this time nobody was injured well at least no humans anyways we did lose two dogs but yeah so the first time you know was actually my man's fault and there was a gas leak I was trying to tell my smell of gas and it wasn't listening to me and freaking a fireball blew him away and I thought I watched him die but miraculously he survived but he was very very badly injured and he's so injured he lost his job lost our home lost everything in the blink of an eye at least this time was an injured and he's still bad as job so we have that going for us right now but hey you know I'm sitting here worrying about you know where we're gonna stay from night to night how I'm going to you know support my kid all that stuff you know so it's it is very stressful very very stressful so you know don't pass judgment don't be so quick to pass judgment on people because you never know what they're going through or what their circumstances are and you know it can happen to anybody all right let me say well I'm so financially secure I got insurance blah blah hey if you're rich you could end up hiring the wrong financial advisor fiduciary or something and who knows the market could fucking crash I mean you know it's happened before it can happen to anyone okay and yeah like I said especially if you're in California most people can't afford to save every single month it's a little nest egg you know and don't think that oh I don't live in California I'm safe don't be thinking that okay just because you don't live in California check it out a lot of Californians are championship and they're going to other states all right already a bunch of states that were cheaper and not the cost of living is going up and big time in part because so many Californians are moving there I mean you know on top of you know all the inflation and all the you know the stimulus checks and all that crap during the pandemic you know so yeah it can happen anybody so you know don't be so damn judgmental you know I'm not saying all this because I'm trying to get sympathy or anything like this it's just that you know I had a family member today be really cold in callus and it judge mental you know towards me and you know it just got me thinking that you know people are so apathetic you know and I didn't ask this person for help or anything but you know you know I got like this attitude like like they were never in a hard place in their life like yeah they few years ago they were they had to go move back in with their parents for a little while gee how soon we forget you know our roots so we forget we forget to be humble you know don't take things for granted okay I mean really appreciate everything you have seriously because like I said it can happen to anybody and I don't know guess that's all I gotta say is just remember not to take anything for granted and don't get complacent these are difficult times right now and it's only gonna get even more difficult so you know yeah it's the way things are going trust me it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets any better if it does get any better so you know I mean me yeah I'm a Christian I'm religious I've read the Bible and yeah I believe that these are the in times coming but even if you don't believe that you still it doesn't take you know a genius to be able to put two and two together and see the inflation the where things are going okay so like I said don't get complacent be grateful you know what think to think to yourself make it make a goal for yourself every day do a random act of kindness for somebody make that one goal during your day okay to do a random act of kindness to do something to help somebody and do it without trying to get any kind of praise or gratitude do it in secret okay do it without boasting without telling anybody all right that should be one of your goals during the day seriously okay I guess I'm done ranting now just be good to your fellow man and don't be judgmental all right I'm out
