A UFO in Roswell Georgia? 👽🛸🎧🎙🎸ʳ̷ᵉ̷ᵛ̷ⁱ̷ˢ̷ᵉ̷ᵈ̷

My family’s UFO story and my cover of Incubus

If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

Hmm, I’d probably ask something and tell something… does your planet have whores? And watch out for frenemies while you’re here.

Seriously though, let me tell you a real alien story. When I was a boy, I used to enjoy looking through the family photo albums my mama had. There were like 3 or 4 big thick ones just full of pictures, and in between the pages were many loose ones, so I had to be careful handling them because they would fall out.

To me It was like reading these wonderful stories without words, I just loved it. One picture caught my attention the first time I saw it. It was a Polaroid the kind you shake lol. But it was all black except for right in the center was this silver lookin’ saucer shaped thingy that was all lit up. So I showed my mama and asked her what it was? And she was like “ahhh yes I remember this one, it’s a UFO”

So she began to tell me the story. One night, her and my dad and me (I was a baby) were in the car driving, and we were crossing the Chattahoochee river bridge just north of Atlanta in Roswell Georgia… wait! Hold up, Roswell Georgia, Roswell New Mexico, UFO’s hmmm. 🤔

So anyways we were crossing the river, with other vehicles when suddenly this flying saucer thing appeared in the sky over the river just hovering and it was all lit up and all the other cars stopped and everyone got out of their vehicles and was just gazing up at it amazed. Of course, I don’t remember any of this lol.

My mama grabbed her camera and managed to capture it before it shot out of sight on a blink.

Over the years, I would show the pic to my friends and stuff. It was so cool looking. I’m not sure if my mama still has it. The last time I saw it was like in the mid-90s.

But this kind of started a curiosity in me at a young age for unidentified things in the sky.

Also, when I saw this prompt and began to think about what i would write, the song ‘wish you were here, by Incubus popped into my head and i started singing it. So I went ahead and recorded it to go along with the story

One Way to Explore a New City

What’s the best way to explore a new city?

Oh yes! Great Prompt! And I’m an expert at this sorta thing. I’ve traveled so much and I know what I’m effin’ talkin’ bout. Se se.

So the best way to explore a new city is on the back of a motorcycle being driven by a guy that looks like Arthur Fonzareli from the show Happy Days, while wearing just panties and a bra (regardless of your gender) and maybe even a cool Dolly Parton wig or something.

And just cruise around at a laid-back pace. Don’t be in a hurry. Stop by the ghettos. Go visit the landfill and see what the people are throwing away, this will tell you plenty.

Stop by all the local churches and go inside and see all the pretty people. Talk to the pastor. Introduce yourself. Let them know you’re on their team and that you went to school for this stuff. Tell them how they can get your new book. Then, as you’re leaving, give them the secret hand shake, rub the palm of their hand noticeably with your middle finger, mid-shake, and watch what happens next.

Then go to the nearest Chinese buffet and try and save as many cats as you can. Before it’s too late.

Then go have a snack and rest because you’ve earned it and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

🎙️Sunday Songs From the Bathroom #32

🎧 Two Kutless Covers

If you ever watched the old TV show Scrubs back in the day, then you may recall all the great music from it. It’s actually cited as having one of the best soundtracks of any show in history, and it was a big deal if your song was chosen and featured on an episode.

It was also a secular program, and very few Christian artists and songs ever made it on there. The song “All Of the Words” by Kutless made it on in 2oO6, exposing their music to millions. It was a huge deal for the band.

Also, if you’ve ever noticed my tagline on my blog…

“so looking to the sky ¡ will sing and from my heart to YOU ¡ bring”

…well, it’s from the lyrics of that song.

Hope yall have a great Sunday, and thank you for listening.

Oh, also… if you listen closely at the end of the second song, you can hear one of my cats, Angel, at the bathroom door meowing. She does this often. Sometimes it’s so bad I have to stop and make her go away. She’s messed up a few of my recordings over the past few months lol.

🎙️Songs From the Bathroom #31

🎧 The Vandals & The Dixie Chicks Covers

I took a shower a little while ago, and I meant to bring my body lotion in the bathroom with me so I could apply it all over, but I forgot it.

Then I happened to see some lotion on the shelf and thought, “Oh well… I’ll just use it.

So I did.

I began to rub it all over my body. Then I started to catch a whiff of it, and I’m like, “Hold up… WTF is this stuff?”

So I looked closely at the old, worn label on the bottle, and it’s womens’ Bath & Body Works lotion. I believe it’s my sister’s that she left lol.

And it’s real perfumey.

It’s all I can smell right now, but I have to admit…

I smell and feel so pretty.

It’s Beautiful Here

A story of my Grandmama and a song

I’ve been thinking a lot about my Grandmama lately. Today is her birthday. She would have been 93.

She passed away suddenly in the spring of 2oO4, and it was really hard on my family, especially my mama, because in those last few years, the two of them had a rocky mother-daughter relationship. And they just wasted the time.

They didn’t always see eye to eye or treat each other the way they should, and my mama was holding onto things that she had a hard time letting go of.

I’ve been flooded with memories of her today. I was her first grand baby, and she thought the world of me. She was always around as I was growing up. She helped raise me.

I even lived with her at times in the early 80s because my mama was really sick and in and out of the hospital for a few years, having major surgeries and almost losing her life several times.

Then later she moved in with us, so throughout my life I spent a lot of time with her. Just memory after memory.

I remember once, I had a breakup with my girlfriend at the time, and she started dating this new guy. Well, he and two of his friends decided to show up at my house, and they were looking for a fight.

So, I walked out in the driveway and faced all three of them by myself.

Well, I thought I was by myself until I turned around and saw my Grandmama standing there in her house coat with a broom in her hand, ready to swing it. Then she says, “I GOT YOUR BACK SON!”

I couldn’t believe it.

I was like, “Grandmama, put that broom down and go in the house before you hurt yourself, I got this.” Haha.

But she didn’t. She stayed right there with me as I proceeded to whip all three of them. 😁😎

She loved for me to sit around and play my guitar and sing for her. She would make requests. Like “Take Me Home Country Roads” by John Denver and a few others.

She would clap her hands and tap her feet, and sing along. She was an old school country girl, and she had a strong Southern drawl. She sounded like Dolly Parton when she talked. 😁

She was a special lady to me. She was a Christian, but she wasn’t always.

The story I’m about to tell… you can decide on your own what to think or feel about it. I’m just going to tell you what I witnessed that day.

It was the day after she died. I was at my mama’s house. And my mama was in very bad shape inside. The guilt she was feeling was just too much for anyone to handle, and I had never seen her this way.

It was as if she died too.

She so wished that she had of done things differently. Instead of always arguing. She wished she would have said “I love you” to her mother because she did. But now she couldn’t.

Ever.

Now, suddenly, everything that was keeping her from this when her mother was alive meant absolutely nothing.

My mama cried and cried and cried non-stop.

She decided to go out and sit in her garden for a while and be alone.

She had been out there for maybe an hour. I was standing in the kitchen drinking coffee and looking out the window. I could see her off in the distance sitting on a little bench wearing her big-brimmed sunhat, surrounded by her flowers.

When suddenly, she jumps up and starts running toward the house.

I can’t believe what I’m seeing. I immediately think the worst. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her run. So I thought something was bad wrong.

As she approached the back door, I hurried to meet her as I could hear her crying out my name.

She bursts through the door out of breath and in tears. But not the kind I thought. These were tears of joy.

She’s trying to talk, but she can’t really, and I’m like, “What happened? Are you okay? What is going on?”

Then she cries out and says, “I JUST TALKED TO MY MAMA!!! I JUST TALKED TO MY MAMA!!!”

Then she says, “YOU CAN SMELL HER ALL OVER ME!!! SMELL ME!!! SMELL!!!”

Then I began to smell my Grandmama’s perfume, and her scent spread through and filled the entire kitchen.

It was one of those powerful moments in life that you dont forget.

Come to find out, she says that God allowed her to have this moment with her mother.

She says they spoke. That she heard her voice. They both apologized and said, “I love you.”

And she said my Grandmama told her, “Jackie baby, I know you love me.”

Then she said, My Grandmama said, “It’s beautiful here.”

From that day on, my mama was okay. She put it all behind her and was able to find peace.

She got another chance.

She was able to say one last time, after the fact, what she couldn’t say in life.

And I think you know the moral of this one.

Happy Birthday Grandmama.

🎙️Songs From the Bathroom #30

🎧 Covers From Cake & Damn Yankees

Years ago, I was at a bar in Dallas Texas called The Quarter, hanging out with my famous friend and listening to this local band play.

They were right in the middle of their finale, “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond, and everyone in the place was singing along.

The band had an empty goldfish bowl sitting on the front of the stage for tips. Earlier, the singer had mentioned that he wished he had a cigarette.

So I was sitting about 20 feet away from the front of the stage, and I had a few drinks in me and a pretty good buzz going.

I stood up in the middle of the song, took a cigarette, and decided I was going to play a little basketball.

I aimed for that goldfish bowl and took a jump shot.

That cigarette soared through the air on a high rainbow like arch…

and landed right in the bowl. 😂

The lead guy happened to see me do it, and he stopped singing and playing right in the middle of the song.

It just blew him away.

He looked over at me and says

“Bro, that was unbelievable!”

Haha

Then he picked right back up and finished the song.

😁😎🏀 🚬

So I Rule It

What are your best healthy eating habits?

A friend once told me years ago, “I don’t trust anyone that doesn’t eat meat,” and he was dead serious lol. I’ve never forgotten it, and sometimes I’ll say it jokingly, but I don’t really mean it. 😁

So my eating habits? I’m very disciplined. So much so that my friends and family are like, “How can you eat the same stuff all the time?” And it’s simple for me. I don’t live to eat, I eat to live. And to go even further with that, I eat for a purpose, and that purpose is to keep my body the way I want it.

So I have a high-protein diet, and I also mix in fruit and vegetables every day. And I eat the same things.

For breakfast most days, I’ll get my same little bowl and put a small amount of granola in it, then some plain Greek yogurt, which is 17g of protein per serving. Then I’ll cut up a banana and throw it in and add some dried cranberries. Occasionally, I’ll add different fruits, depending on what I have available.

Once in a while, instead of the yogurt, I’ll have a few eggs and maybe a piece of bread.

But as far as the yogurt goes, I only do the plain, Greek, unsweetened kind.

I can actually survive on one meal a day, and I’m hardly ever hungry in the morning or even by lunch. It’s usually late in the day before I get hungry, but I force myself to eat three meals a day because it’s better for me with my workout routine.

I work out every day except Wednesday and Sunday. Those are my rest days, and occasionally I’ll take an extra day off, usually Friday, if my body feels tired.

I’m in the best shape of my life currently. I look better today, and I’m way healthier and physically stronger than when I was younger because of how I eat and exercise.

A few hours after breakfast, I’ll do my protein shake. I do one scoop most days, which is 30g of protein, but sometimes I’ll double down on it.

Then for lunch, many times I’ll have something like cottage cheese and some fruit, maybe some nuts, or some eggs.

Later, at times, I’ll have another protein shake.

Then for dinner, it’s always between these three things: rice, baked potato, or pasta. Those are my carb choices. Then I’ll have a main protein source, which is meat, fish, or eggs. Normally, it’s chicken or turkey or tuna or eggs.

I don’t eat much red meat, although I love steak and brisket, but I only eat it every now and then. I love pork too, but I don’t eat it much either.

Then I always have a vegetable, and it’s usually broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or spinach every night haha.

Oh, and I drink mostly water. I stay away from sodas except maybe on a cheat day. I enjoy caffeine in the morning, so I usually have a cup of coffee, but lately I’ve been using pre-workout drink mix that contains caffeine, so I don’t have coffee on the days I use it.

Also I use mostly olive oil or coconut oil.

I monitor my daily calories and protein, and I watch and balance my weight. I’m 6 ft tall and 200 lbs, or 91 kg, and this is where I want to stay. So if I go over 200 by a few pounds, then I reduce my eating for a few days until I drop back down. And vice versa, if one day I weigh in and I’m around 195–197, then I increase my calories for a few days. I have a fast metabolism that allows me to easily manage this.

I don’t eat junk food or sweets, except maybe once every two weeks I’ll have like a cheat day where I’ll have some apple pie or a piece of cake or something. And sometimes I’ll order pizza or Chick-fil-A just to break the monotony of my food routine. Oh, and I do get a sweet tooth sometimes during the week, and when that happens, I’ll have a spoonful or two of peanut butter.

Don’t get me wrong, I like food, and I like to eat and cook and stuff,

but I refuse to be ruled by it or anything for that matter.

So I rule it.
