Life as a Bad Guy
“I wore a fucking sweater!” I’m laughing cause, ya know, it’s damn funny! Laughing in spite of the whole thing and somewhat surprised I guess. And also, maybe possibly, sorta, sub-consciously angry, on the inside, not angry I guess, but hurt. I’m butt-hurt. But that’s pretty deep down. That won’t come up 'til later. In a hotel room in Faribault, Minnesota after some good ol’ boys in the lobby tell me they’re surprised I speak “such good English.” Nope, those feelings are being held up at gunpoint and told to lay on the floor and count to 1,000. Damn... that’s just what they said I’d do!

The CNA Life
A certified nursing assistant or CNA as they're known. They are the eyes and ears of the medical field. They are also a culture within itself where you're not treated right, nor are you respected. Also many don't really see that the majority of CNAs are in fact African-American, Filipino, and Hispanic. Which shows that few whites work this kind of job, and if they do they're older. Nowadays it's not unusual to see a lot of young girls between 20-40 working this type of job.

Two Reasons Why I Work for Myself
I was told, just like everybody else, education is the key to getting a job, work until my 60s in the chosen field I studied, so I can live a comfortable life in the future. Off I went on a journey after school, into the world of University. Studying for three to four years, in the field of Architecture, gaining valuable information, and learning. Now that all sounds like great advice and a decent experience, and while there is not much wrong with it, it offers a sense of false hope.

It Is Time...
In 2017, I was done with acting for a while after I did a play about Standing Rock but a year later, I had a choice to go back but I didn't do it because not only was I trying to focus more on school, I also got tired of the people I was around that was going to be in theater with me because they were always surrounded by drama and I already had enough going on in my life at the time so I didn't bother going back to acting.
