It's over 9000 responsibilities?!?

Taco Tuesday man. I don't care  what y'all say, Taco Bell is good...as long as you eat it within 15 minutes of the purchase lol. After that, you may as well toss it out fam. Go on ahead to Chipotle if you want to and eat that more expensive Taco Bell if you want to. It's your money. I promise though, it doesn't get much better than a Mexican pizza (let's argue) and a couple hard shell tacos with no sour cream. Side bar: I'm one of the most nonjudgmental people you'll ever meet but if you like sour cream, your taste buds were probably put in backwards. Who eats sugarless whipped cream bro? Gross

For some reason today I've been thinking about things I want to accomplish or put time into. The older I get, the more I realize that properly prioritizing is part of a skill set and not something everyone can just do all the time. You want to do things in order of importance but somehow it just doesn't happen like that all the time. A lot of days, I wish we were able to live on centurion time like the Men In Black do with their 37 hour days. It would suck in the days that you just want to end but it would definitely help in the way of accomplishing the things that you can never seem to get to enough. Usually everything creative that I do is way down the totem pole and I hate that it has to be that way but I'm a Dad and trying to make sure my kids are in position to not have to struggle the way I did (and still do) is paramount in my life. I still aspire and I still dream big, I still believe I'm one of the most talented creatives to come from where I'm from and  I  still only want to do everything that I do with purpose. It's tough though man and I'm not here complaining because that's not me. Challenges aren't excuses and things being difficult doesn't make them impossible so I'm in the mode of finding the right formula or the right combination of what I'd call projectile hustle, time and consistency (prayer hands).

My youngest brother Chris got me into Dragon Ball Z when I was in highschool. I used to be down on anime. I didn't want to have to read the subtitles all the time. I loved reading but I wanted to either read OR watch TV, not both if I didn't have to lol. So I wasn't really receptive to watching it at first because I assumed that's what it was (which seems crazy now bcuz I love anime these days). But I sat down and watched it one day after school as he narrated the backstory for context and I was hooked. Even though it had hella filler in the episodes, it was easily the best thing on TV at the time as far as we were concerned.

Goku was the favorite of the show by most and I definitely rooted for him in just about every battle he was in but my guy was Vegeta. I don't know why I'm such a fan of anti hero characters. I remember when Stone Cold Steve Austin got popular right after WrestleMania 13 and my brothers and I cheered for him. My Dad said he couldn't understand how we could root for such a guy lol. I think I just like the idea  of a person not being 100 percent good or 100 percent bad. I say to my friends and family all the time that nobody in life is a Tyler Perry character. You know in those movies, the bad guy is like evil through and through then the good guys are like G rated Disney cartoon good almost perfect in every way and real life ain't like that. Most people aren't just all bad or all good, it's some sort of a mix. You ever wonder why evil lairs in 80s and 90s cartoons were always dark and mucky and dusty with spiderwebs and stuff as if the bad guys don't like beautiful property and clean houses? Me either lol and that's why I liked Vegeta. He was a hero but on his own terms.

Goku was the true, pure of heart hero of the show but there were large periods of time where he was gone and not there to take care of his kids. This is sort of a tough argument to make because he saved the world so many times and died and came back so many times but his time on Earth was spent fighting and training. Important of course for what they were going through at times but dawg... the most time he ever spent with his oldest son was the year they were in the hyperbolic chamber for a year training. His youngest ain't even know him until he was like an elementary school level kid lol. Not to be that guy but Goku spent more time with Krillin than his sons. This is probably ultimately a stupid point to make I agree (just a cartoon after all right?) but this is the type of stuff I think (or overthink) about all the time. Maybe I'm bringing it up because I don't want for my kids to always just be watching me. I wanna be watching them. Can't get the time back after all so as I continue to attempt to reach my goals, they'll know how hard I work achieve balance because my goals for them have always come before my personal ones.

Welp, definitely wasn't thinking I was going that way with this lol. If you're reading this and haven't already, please subscribe to this blog and maybe tell a friend...or an enemy haha! (Shrug emoji)
