Yeah, and so we were...

Well you asked me if doing prison was the hard part, and I spent over 12 years in prison.

In 18 years I did 12 total.

And it wasn't the hard part, it wasn't going to prison, it was getting out and trying to be part of society again.

Because at one time I was a contractor, I had four employees, three bedroom house, blah blah blah blah blah.

And I had to lose it all to realize it was just stuff, but still.

So then when you're done with your time and I discharged my sentence in February 11th of 2011, I got my parole papers signed off.

I became a citizen again.

I can actually vote.

I can actually go in and vote for the president.

But I can't get a job here or here or here.

I can't have any apartments because they won't accept felons.

And I even went through an agency that took felons

and they'll give a pedophile an apartment before they will me because I had a drug charge.

I wasn't even dealing drugs.

I had possession but anybody that has possession drugs.

They're worried about them selling drugs in their apartments

So they won't give them one

but this place would give a pedophile somebody who raped a little baby

or something and give them an apartment But they wouldn't let me have one

because of my felony because I had a drug felony

And it's just a hard part was just becoming part of society again.

It's like they didn't want me They didn't want me to be part of their society So I just decided fuck it.

I'm gonna sleep in a tent.

I'm gonna do what I love for a living

which is playing music and

if I just make a little bit of money I'd rather do what I love with a passion

and make a little money then go back to contract

and then try to make a lot of money and be part of a society that doesn't even want me no more.

Fuck them, you know?

Fuck society.

That's what I feel.

Feel that?

Why did...

I meet a lot of good people, but I believe there's a lot of good people out there, but for the most part, most people, all they care about is themselves.

You could be standing there on the corner bleeding and people just drive by you.

They wouldn't want no part of it.

They I wouldn't want no part of the trauma.

There'd be one in 10 that might stop and help.

You know?

I walked up to a woman once to ask her what time it was.

I was pushing the cart, me and my wife were pushing our cart.

We had all our stuff in the grocery cart.

I was pushing, I needed to know what time it was.

So I went up to ask this woman what time it was.

She was like, oh, get away from me.

I don't have any money.

Leave me alone.

I'm like, I don't want any money.

She's like, just get away from me.

Go.

I'm like, and I'm thinking, what could have this woman been through that she's so terrified of a stranger that she,

what if my wife was pregnant, her water just broke and I needed help?

I mean, who knows?

What if I was having chest pain and I needed her to call 911?

She didn't care, just get away from me, go.

I don't got no money, she thought all I wanted was her money.

I just wanted to know what time it was.

And it hurt, man, it's like damn.

People are like- It does hurt.

And I was like, damn, humanity.

So many people, what have they been through that makes them

so terrified of relationships and people that they just don't want nothing to do with nobody?

It's sad.

It's really sad.

I wasn't scared of you when I saw you.

Well, it's your one in a million, you know?

I mean, you're actually sitting down and talking to me, you know?

Most people don't give a damn.

But it's all right, you know?

When it comes down to it, I came in this world by myself, and when I die, I'm gonna be the only one in that coffin.

And so really all I guess that matters is me, I guess.

I don't know.

I think people matter, but the more I'm starting to see, less and less.

You matter, bro.

I feel that way about you too, man.

You matter.

I mean, you care.

You matter.

It's sad to see that most people don't.

It's just sad because there's so much beautiful things in life.

There's so many beautiful things in life.

Relationships are beautiful.

Nobody wants relationships.

Check this out.

I've got over 240 some friends on Facebook.

Most of them I knew from high school.

I mean, I knew a lot of people.

I got around, all right?

240 some people I know on Facebook.

Most of them I thought were good friends from high school.

Christmas Day, I Facebook tomorrow and I'm like, hey, it's Christmas, I haven't talked to some of y'all in over 20 years,

here's my number, call me, let's have a conversation.

Nobody, and I posted that thing over and over Christmas Day, nobody.

And I'm talking to people that asked me to be their friend, oh, so and so wants you to be their friend.

Well, I know this person from high school, sure, I'll be their friend.

What does that mean?

It means people don't want relationships no more, they're so into their internet and so into their Facebook, They got their faith, this is their idol.

100

Internet's become an idol, man.

101

It's like, people don't want relationships.

102

They want the kind of relationships where they can be who they wanna to be

103

and be who they are you know instead of being who they are be who they want to be

104

and pretend to be oh yeah I'm six foot four

105

and I got dark hair and blue eyes and big shoulders

106

but then I can't ever meet this person because I don't look like

107

that you know

108

and most people on these internet relationships man I even a

109

girl my high school sweetheart I got I hooked up with

110

her on Facebook contacted her hey man let's meet well she

111

gave me her number she's like well look just text me

112

I really don't have time for conversations no more she'd rather go text back

113

and forth for two hours texting back

114

and forth instead of having a 10-minute conversation

115

that could have summed it all people don't want conversations they

116

want they don't want nothing no more I don't know what they want but this world sucks man

117

way do people see it really totally agree I mean

118

but I'm just trying to make the world a more better place man a more beautiful place

119

and if music and art can do it and somebody appreciates

120

that that's all that matters if I can make a difference in one person's life that's all that matters

121

you made a difference in my life praise God I mean hallelujah you did well be sitting here with if he hadn't.

122

Because you were playing your guitar when I walked up.

123

Well, hopefully it's a positive difference.

124

We can all make a negative influence in somebody's life, but if we can be a positive difference in somebody's life and make them just think for a minute, maybe there is something worth caring about.

125

You know? But I don't know.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
