I hate giving blood, but we gotta do what we gotta do to help each other out.
When I was stationed at Lackland AFB, if you got your weekend liberty revoked the only way you could get it back was by donating blood. And you’re only supposed to donate blood like once every 50 days or something. Which is a problem because I was losing my pass every weekend.
But my own health and well-being weren’t going to stop me from drinking and partying every weekend. So there were several times I went to the med station and donated blood only a week or 2 apart. I’d always visit different nurses so they didn’t catch on.
But it caught up to me eventually. One Monday morning after giving blood and drinking a little too much, I showed up to formation looking frailer than a mfer. My NCO was like, “Park you look like shit.” Then I was like
Not really sure what happened next because I woke up in the hospital.
Anyway, the moral of the story is give blood and save lives and don’t be an asshole. Or something.

Elijah’s last words were: “I’m an introvert. I’m just different that’s all. I’m so sorry. I don’t have a gun. I don’t do that stuff...All I was trying to do was become better. I’ll do it...You all are phenomenal. You are beautiful. And I love you. Try to forgive me. I’m sorry.”
And then they murdered him anyway.

Fuck @AuroraPD. Fucking pigs.
If cops will murder a young Black boy with special needs while he begs for forgiveness and tells them he loves them even as they’re killing him, they’ll murder anyone who’s Black.

Border Patrol was flying an MQ-9 Predator drone over MLPS. After the way the POTUS was talking yesterday, l wouldn’t be surprised if he’s given them the ok-go to arm up. Image
Drones and the National Guard for BLM. It was hugs and shrugs for white supremacists who stormed a state house armed to the teeth. Funny to me.
Before I left for Iraq, I did a month of training at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. That’s where a good amount of the Predator and Reaper drones are parked. I can’t tell you how dangerous is for these things to be flying over a civilian population.

Imagine being an artist signed to an agent who also reps a fake person lmaooooooo.
Me: Hey so I was wondering if we could a quick phone call in tomorrow. I’ve got some questions about this contract.

Agent: Yeah, so, um, that’s not gonna work, I’m meeting with my robot client tomorrow.

Me:
I remember when I signed with UTA. Jay, the president, had me up in his penthouse office. Gave me the whole pep talk about how I was gonna make boatloads of money and blah blah blah. Dude was great, but man, that’s 18 months I wish I could have back.
