Time

Every minute, every hour

Everyday, Every year,

Older and Older

we can never start over.

Time is a funny thing.

We are always rushing every single day to get our morning coffee, Racing to get to our job (precovid rush hour commute), and checking our updated social media statuses, all while getting stuck behind every single red light, and then end up being five minutes late and your boss berates you til you hide in the janitor Closet til the days end. (This never happened to me, I swear)

We always say, “We have time.”

“Do it tomorrow, you got time.”

“I’ll lose 20 lbs someday.”

Well it is true, realistically we do have many hours and years left in our life. I mean I doubt tomorrow one of us will get hit by a bus, or struck by lightning in the eye. In fact, most of us will enjoy a long healthy life. But how many of those years are wasted? Honestly I have probably wasted more than 800 hours watching dumb cats play keyboards, or Zombie Kid liking turtles and the endless scrolling of statuses of people I could care less about. Instead I could be learning and growing myself to make sure I am the best I can be for the people who need me.

The cool thing is we can do that starting right now.

We still have time to do something great, to make a difference, and to make memories and not just Netflix all day.

To get to that healthy weight.

To actually enjoy your life and not worry about the unknowns or if you will ever get that dream job, or marry the right person. You are just wasting precious time.

Do wonderful things right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take that trip to Australia

Go to the Opera.

Volunteer and help people.

Use your time wisely,

and do something great!

Cheers,

P.S. Stop worrying and start living!

We got time.

Hi I'm hungry

Bacon and burgers,

Ice cream and frosted flakes desires.

I need it now

I crave it now…

I love food and could literally eat food all day long. It doesn’t matter what it is. Does anybody else eat all the time? Pizza and wings run my life. Hot, medium, mild, plain (not plain I’m not a weirdo) bbq, it doesn’t matter. Living in Buffalo NY we have some of the greatest food ever made. I mean we have to be good at something, since we have to live with about 300 days of winter and 150 days of rain. That gives us all the time to pack on the winter pounds. Haha but seriously back to thefood…

I can eat steak,

chicken,

fried onion rings,

cool whip on top of banana fosters please.

Alright sorry my mind is wandering and I can’t seem to concentrate. I need a frosty and a large fry stat. If anyone is nearby, I’ll be waiting for a text saying my food has arrived.

Peace out,

Rex Felixx

P.S.

Seriously though, I’m waiting by my phone

please send food and extra napkins.

P.S.S

Still here.. Hi… no texts yet…

Pears and icy floats,

are somethings I love most.

Spicy meatballs, Olive garden Breadsticks

and cream cheese with burnt toast.

Surprise!

I enjoy nothing more than to hand out gifts to make people feel joy. Whether its paying the person behind me in line for their coffee at Starbucks. Or finding a green Sasquatch driving a monster truck t-shirt from a thrift shop to surprise a friend with. The elation it brings is amazing. Physical gifts giving is awesome in it’s own right. However many of us don’t realize that we all have gifts and talents that we can share everyday but we choose to bury them deep, and hide them away. I’m not sure if its pride or the feeling that recipient won’t like it. A smile to a stranger can help them through a rough patch in that moment. Listening intently to a friend in need while drinking some beers at happy hour. Handwriting a letter to mail to your family who lives far away. Singing a song to old Nana, Dorothy McShaw. We all have so many talents and gifts to share in our own way. Come to think of it, maybe the world would be a much better place, if we just shared our gifts for good, and try to bring joy out of people every single day.

Even when the claws dig deep...

Claws digging deep,

Tearing and crushing,

Never any sleep.

Holding me down,

Harder to breathe,

Feeling my lungs squeeze.

Blurry vision,

Losing hope,

Crushed beneath its mighty weight.

Weathered and worn,

Beaten and torn,

Remember,

It’s not over yet,

until you hear the heavenly horns, mourn.

Lately life has been crushing me with her mighty claws, strangling me and holding me down. she’s relentless and won’t let me breathe. It’s strange how sometimes life can be so awesome and wonderful and then in a blink it can change rapidly and dramatically. Like a wool sweater unravelling right before you go out the door for a first date, or treading water while your cramps increase, then a great white shark is right underneath. In these instances of rapid change and chaos all around you. I want you to know that it will get better. Life will get better. Whether it’s trouble at work, or failing at school, or feeling worthless and used, YOU ARE AMAZING! Keep being your awesome, positive self, keep learning how to adapt to this awful chaos. Don’t let these present moments define your future self. Don’t let life beat you and pin you down forever.

Keep Fighting,

Keep crawling,

Never stop trying!

Whatever pain you are going through remember you can do it.

Peace out,

Rex Felixx

Let's have an adventure today!

Everyday we awaken to a brand new day, and everyday we decide what we want to do with it. We can become our own hero or we can crawl back into our digital cave and scroll through social media for five minutes, which inevitably becomes 30 minutes, then hours upon hours. Clicks, likes, Pinterest trends, and Tik Tok famous people eating spicy ramen noodles through their snorkels, while petting their pet chihuahua named Dolores Boris. What are we doing? What are we becoming? We would rather text someone than to go out and converse in person. Then when we do decide to hangout we scroll our brightly lit screens texting others while we use Gifs to show our emotions. (Actually most times, it’s almost impossible to make plans nowadays. people want to always keep their options open. “Maybe I will… ummm maybe if nothing else is going on.”

Decide today that adventure is in your future. Actually scratch that. Decide today that adventure is now. ( no more procrastinating) Do something fun, something exciting. Make memories with people, Soon enough we will all be 65 and wishing we did something exhilarating with our friends when we were younger. It doesn’t have to be extreme skydiving or licking poisonous mushrooms. (please don’t) Le’t get excited for life. Do something different. Adventurers pack your bags!

Let’s have an adventure today!

Yours truly,

One Little Spark

Deep inside us all there is a match of creativity waiting to be lit. For many years, and many tears of trying to avoid it like the plague you have finally found it.

What am I to do with it?

What if I strike it and my whole life ignites into a million ashes and I ruin my family, my friends, my reputation?

What if I burn myself and it hurts and ruins my sense of touch?

Forget all of the worries you have. You, myself and everyone have been made to do great things in this life. Stop with the self doubt, and the “I have no idea what will happen” attitude. For far too long have we been led to believe that there is only certain creative people out there. Only a select few people can succeed. You were made for more than to work a 9-5 and retire barely alive.

Now is there time to strike that match.

Set the world alive with your gift. Show off your talents, never be afraid.

Go experience Switzerland,

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro,

Learn Portuguese,

I don’t care, just go create something special!

For you are unique and have that spark to do great things!

Your friend in the Creative fire,

Rex Felixx

Be Bright. Be Real. Be You.

Just Breathe

Breathe it in and enjoy the ride. Who knows how long we have to survive? I noticed many many nights over this past year that I worried and doubted myself. I never knew if tomorrow would be good or bad, and my mind was cloudy and my mind enslaved my thoughts and emotions. Coming back after a small vacation and resting my mind, I have reset myself. I have decided to just breathe. To stop worrying about things not in my control. Not to stress about people who don’t care. No one else cares about your life more than you do. So begin to love who you are and grow from that. Just breathe it in. It’s not going to be the easiest to do , and I’m sure I will fail and stress sometimes. However, keep on trying to live the best you can, and focus on what really matters.

Unplug

I am guilty of having my phone run my life more than I realize. Images upon images scroll past my screen, not listening to the world around me. I am guilty of likes and loves of strangers faces, without even knowing their names. I forget that I am a person sometimes and struggle with having real conversations without empty words. To have a life and not be a shell of a person when outside of my electronic imagery controlling my every waking moment. To live outside of this electronic tool we use daily, hourly, every second. Sometimes it’s good to unwind , and unplug. Don’t get me wrong, I love social media, I thrive on connections, but I need time to disconnect and realize that too much of anything can be a bad thing.

HAHA as I write this on my blog from my computer. Silly world we live in.

A little Dr. Suess love

A fickle pickle

ran down the street

with nothing but his bowler hat,

and an alleyway cat, named Chester E. Bat.

Laughing and chuckles,

and leather shoes with brass buckles,

he clattered along the way.

Everyone smiled and laughed,

at this fickle pickle,

who decided to get up and run away.

nice buckles on those shoes.

Spring is almost here.

Feels like Spring is right around the corner.

Try to be great!

Don’t dwell on the past .

Sunshine will make us all okay.

Feel the warmth of the rays

and know that their will always be better days.
