FREEDOM
FREEDOM : Abused, Misused and Broken
Freedom…. It is something that so many American people take for granted. So fragile, so precious and if not fought for, can be lost so easily. However, how much “FREEDOM” is too much ?
The United States is “said” to be the greatest country on earth. There are many people who would STRONGLY disagree. Myself being one of them. Don’t get me wrong, we Americans certainly have many advantages that so many other people could not even dream of. Even something so basic as just holding hands with a special someone while walking down a public street and taking a selfie together. Did you know that in certain countries, that can actually land you in JAIL ! It’s true…. As crazy as that sounds.
However… We grossly take advantage of our freedoms and it then becomes a burden to us. For example… The 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees us the right to bear arms. But at what co$t ? The laws of our country have been misinterpreted and stretched beyond recognition. The 2nd Amendment was NOT meant for a bunch of wackos and lunatics to be running through the streets of America, shooting down innocent victims at random, just because you “can”.
Understand this…. Just because you “CAN” do something or just because something is permitted by law (Like gun purchases), does “NOT” mean that you should. People everyday go out and legally purchase alcohol and weed. Then, they say, oh ok, that was easy. No big deal, right ? Then, when they get to the point that they do it in excess, problems arise. Sickness and death may be something you want to think about. Just saying…
I would actually argue that we actually have too much freedom in this country. There are things that we do everyday, that we don’t even think about, that in some countries would have you jailed and your entire family as well. As crazy as that sounds, it’s true. It can also be argued that not only do we have too much freedoms, we grossly stretch and abuse the freedoms that we currently have and we are thus causing them to be eroded quickly over time as we abuse them.
Finally, according to the World peace Index, the United States is actually one of the most violent countries in the world. As I watch my local and national news daily, I am hard pressed to disagree. Currently at the time of this post, The United States stands at number 132. That’s not good. As you look at the top 10 peaceful, non-violent countries, it is very telling of how far behind we are. The United States has a lot of work to do. As some countries have less freedoms and harsher punishments to deter crimes, and with milder political conflict, they also have less violence, less civil unrest and less chaos. The more “FREEDOM” there is, the more the general populations tend to “Run Wild” and FREE with no regard…. A lack of supported religious values or diminishing values thereof and negative mass media influence are also certainly factors as well.
FREEDOM IS PRECIOUS
Support and Defend it. DON’T ABUSE and MISUSE IT.

The 5 Major Trades
The 5 Major Trades
Welder
While living in Florida (again), in 2022 - 2023, I attended Daytona State College for Welding Technician. So, WELDING is something I know a lot about and can speak too personally. Which is exactly why I listed this one first. I can tell you absolutely this, Welding is so rewarding, calming and peaceful. Peaceful as in soul soothing, not as in sound / noise (just to be clear). Whenever I do a "PUBLIC" blog post, my credibility is ALWAYS on the line so I have to be clear here. Anyway, I met a lot of cool people, made a lot of friends and learned a lot of new things. Welding of course makes great money, which goes without saying. Also, it gives you a hands-on skill for life that no one can ever take away from you. If you stay in practice and you hone your craft well, you can write your own ticket in life. I believe strongly that welding id something that never goes away and will always be in demand. Master this skill and employers will be running to YOU ! In my current location at the time of this post, I live in an area where the closest "Welding Opportunity" is far away from me so you will need to live in a major market area, know that.
Electrician
Here's a SHOCKER... Being an Electrician is a High risk and that's an understatement for sure. So you dam well better "KNOW" what you are doing. With that being said... It pays extremely well and you will be needed : EVERYWHERE ! Especially in New Construction. It's a skill in demand that not many competent people can do : well. Just know that it's not the easiest, but if you pay attention and know your craft, you won't need to worry over job security or competition. You will always be ELECTRIFYING to all employers : Everywhere. You decide...
Plumber
OK, I won't hit you with the expected Super Mario puns and jokes (Too EASY), but seriously, Plumbing and Plumbers are needed everywhere. The concept is simple and ease. Keep the water flowing and the drain clear. That's it, right... Well, there is of course a lot more too it than that. However, there is always a need for Plumbers everywhere. In my home state of Maryland, a lot of Plumbers I know (as well as HVAC Technicians) work for Apartment complexes and they tend to live on the property FREE of very low co$t rent. Huge perk, especially in today's world. There is no denying that it's a basic job that the "Average Joe" can do to make a great living, always be in demand and have definite undeniable job security. If you don't believe that, wait til you have a clogged drain or stopped up toilet and think about how you feel then or just look at the online job listings and salaries and you'll see...
Carpenter
You know, I have to be honest... After doing Welding, Carpentry was my next step and I didn't get the chance (Very BITTER). With my love of Tiny Houses and being able to weld my own frames and trailers, I would jump at the chance to do Carpentry. It's also the best way to beat the banks too. Buy your own piece of land, build your own home or small house and have NO MORTGAGE. Just the yearly property tax on the land and maybe the water bill. You can get around the electric bill with solar panels and large battery storage. The fact is... Like my great grandfather, building your own home, on your own land, is the greatest peace of mind. Never having to work yourself to death, being able to retire early and owing nothing to anyone. Just being able to live an easy life in peace. Maybe even make money with your own business building small homes and furniture for others. Carpentry is so rewarding, under rated and I think it should be a requirement in schoolls. Even when I was in middle school (6th and 7th grades), I had wood shop class. I actually fell in love with a coping saw. It's small, flexible and extremely useful for small and curved spaces and corners. Carpentry is a fiend that is ALWAYS in demand in 1 way or another and very creative. Just ask a guy like Zack Giffin. 1 last thing..., besides Zack, whom I highly admire for his skill and creativity, Jesus Christ was the greatest Carpenter who ever lived ! Just saying...
HVAC
Rounding up the top 5 trades is... : HVAC ! I saved this one for last (ON PURPOSE). Weather you work on the Residential side or the Commercial side, this top trade is so flexible and universal. It fits EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE ! If you live in the North, you will always need heating. If you live in the South, you will always need Air Conditioning. And you need Refrigeration and Ventilation : EVERYWHERE. There is nothing I can't say about this one that you probably don't already know. This is always a quick easy way to also start a hands-on business easily as well. All residences and businesses need HVAC. You can't live "ANYWHERE" on the planet earth without needing some sort of climate control, no matter what region you live in. This is the 1 trade that is universal everywhere, all year around. And of course it pays well, obviously. I really don't think I need to say anything more about it to be honest... HVAC is a "Safe Bet" for all tradesman and trades women too!

Warning Signs
It was mid 2015. I was working at GBMC (Greater Baltimore Medical Center), in Towson, Maryland. Maryland, my home state. I was so proud to have my new job. I was working in the Environmental Service department (Housekeeping). A good job with benefits to take care of my family at a major area hospital. I could not have been happier. I paid off all my bills, cleaned up my credit and then I bought a brand new car. I bought a 2016 Jet Black Toyota Camry. I called it, “The Knight Rider”. It was so hot. I was on top of the world. New great job, good income, benefits, clean credit and my family was well taken care of…
Well… One day at work, on a nice quiet Sunday afternoon, I was mopping the area outside of the elevator on the 3rd floor. Suddenly I stopped, completely frozen in my space. I didn’t even realize it. I thought I was just having some sort of “Daydream”. At that moment, I was given a vision. I didn’t even realize what was happening in that moment. I had a vision of a woman. It was a black woman, with a wide / broad back. Sorta bold / wide upper shoulders. I even was shown the back of her head, but not her face from the front. I saw her whole body from the back, as if she was standing right in front of me, with her back turned towards me. It was clear as if she was really there and I never forgot that “Vision”. I just wasn’t shown her face, of what she looked like from the front view. Long story short, this “Premonition” was crystal clear. And it came true. I actually met this woman, when I later moved to Orlando, Florida under very bad circumstances in January 2016, the following year. It was EXACTLY HER. I had seen her. It was the woman from my prior vision (Although at the time, I didn’t realize it or think about it.
Little did I know that my earlier vision, was actually a WARNING ! I would later come to realize this. All throughout my lifetime, I have had visions of things that later happened or came true. It’s not something that I can manually control or predict. It just happens randomly. I can’t explain it. Sometimes, I would just see things in my dreams or think about things, and they would soon after actually happen later or when it’s too late for me to stop it or do anything about it. i don’t know what else I can say about it. The same thing is true in this case as well. This woman I met, I reluctantly got involved with. However, after a long series of horrible life altering events that happened because of her influence in my life, that memory of the vision I had of her came RUSHING BACK TO MY HEAD LIKE AN ANGRY MIKE TYSON PUNCH IN HIS PRIME. And that’s when it HIT ME ! The Visions I had of this woman was more than a premonition…. IT WAS A WARNING ! By the time I realized it, it was far too late.
We have a daughter, as a result of our involvement together. My daughter is innocent. She did not ask to be here. This woman has had so many absolutely horrible effects on my life ever since. Things have happened to me AND MY FAMILY, that otherwise never would’ve happened if it was not for her. My sufferings have constantly been just 1 life lesson after another. If only I would have paid attention to the WARNING SIGNS I WAS GIVEN. I just didn’t know and I didn’t think about it, until it was way too late.
I have a STRONG MESSAGE to "YOU", my audience. Here is wisdom. Please take the advice from this old Cherokee…. When you have a gut feeling about something or someone, PAY ATTENTION ! Do NOT ignore the warning signs. Some one or something or some force or entity is TRYING to show you something or warn you about something. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION. That’s all I can tell you (from MY experiences).
Finally… At the time of this entry, my daughter is currently 7 years old. In 10.5 years (or unless something happens sooner), my daughter will officially be 18 years old and I will officially have my unobstructed absolute freedom, once again. I can finally get away from this woman clean, without her using our daughter as a weapon against me, with threats of ruining my life (What’s left of it at this point) via child support. If only I would have actually paid attention to the warning signs. My family and I would never have suffered all the horrible things that has happened to us, because of this person since our paths crossed in 2016.
