StoryCorps Interview 2018

The time has come! A couple of months ago, I got the last slot on this tour and its first ever visit to Athens. The recorded stories are broadcasting on WUGA now, every Friday and Sunday. I'm not sure of the schedule, but I received a link to my session and will be distributing it myself as well.

Listen in for local stories from a few Athens, GA characters, including my own! My partner was not able to make it. So, they interviewed me themselves. I haven't listened to it yet, but from the experience, I'd say it was true to form.

And, remember... Don't be afraid to put fruit in your grits!

Fruit & Armor

In response to a post of the image above by someone I only recently me t. For those I've never met, then this is for you too. Wear the armor, and bear the fruit These two things in common in the common war The war within each one's soul Faith and peace are the ties that bind Fruit and armor on the body of our minds... Your soul, your spirit, these inseparable terms Speak of a place that is one in the same That place from within going out to others By the outward sign of what you do and how you react This is the battle we fight every day We start with ourselves, reaching others this way There are six pieces of armor And, nine pieces of fruit This speaks to balance In the peaceful pursuit For in the preparation for war We make peace in defense Carry on young War rior & Warrioress Your time is well spent Ephesians 6:10-18 Galatians 5: 22-23

Obama Phone

Dear President Obama, It is now 2016. The next election is just a few days away, and your final term in office will conclude soon as well. In 2008, I had a dream. I dreamt I was in the Rose Garden having a conversation with you when you reached inside your coat pocket and gave me your cell phone telling me to call you. I started to call you, but then I realized I had your cell phone. So, how could I possibly call you if I had your phone? I called the switchboard instead, and then I woke up. I woke up in 2008 to a life on the streets of Athens, GA. This is ironic since I never imagined myself living on the streets, homeless, unemployed and somewhat hopeless; and after growing up on the Golf course in a middle class American lifestyle. After three years on the streets, I finally got a job in 2011 where I remained until 2014. Then, I became homeless again after serving six months in jail. In the time since then, I have had thr...
