When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

My first cold living with a roommate hit me like a bullet. Not a soul really cared if I was ok. I had to pick myself up and drive to the store and buy medicine. This is twenty years before the pandemic but it felt like I was done for. I must of had a 103 fever and crawled out of bed into clothes. By the time I got out of the car I was covered in swet. To this day I think about that feeling.

I knew I was in full adult and I kind of hated it but knew I couldn’t go back.

It all worked out but a big wake up call.

I do these so much for my Patreons. It’s a celebration of a lucid mind. Feels like meditation in third person.

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

What a question, I think I have to pick one thing?

I’m West Indian Afro Latino. I have a lot of curry and plantinos in my blood. I think that part of me is loud and funny. We dance and celebrate with colors and music constantly.

When I close my eyes I see my people dancing in costumes to loud music in the streets. It is one of my most vivid memories. I was 13 in Trinidad playing Mas. I was dressed as a Lagajo in black tights with white shoes and a large dog head dress.

I must of walked with a float 10 miles that day dancing . It was December in the Caribbean so it was 90 degrees easy and humid. The music was so loud you could feel it in my soul. So many bodies and smiles. I will never forget it.

I peak into my mind.

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

So… I don’t know a lot of sports people. let’s start there. I know the big names 90% of the time. If I had to pick someone from all sports I would say my kiddo hero was Sunny Garcia. He was a pro Surfer.

Sunny was such a bad ass and as an Island person a huge deal. There were not a lot of brown people I could look up to in surfing for a long time. I loved to surf back then. I wanted to go pro. I loved the connection I felt to the oceans.
