Uncle Donkeys Tales

What would the title of a biography about me be? Hmm

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be?

Throughout my life if you count all of the scenarios, I have almost died seven times. Just since the broken neck, five.

I am very helpful, I love to teach, and I’m the first one to step up when someone’s in need. I don’t give up and I keep moving forward!

When you take all these things plus a bunch more into account, I would like to believe the title of my biography would be…

THE STORY OF AN UNBEATABLE AND UNBREAKABLE SOUL

OR…

DONKEY, A KIND BUT STUBBORN OLD MULE

OR…

The story of a man that would stop at nothing to make sure his children, family, and Friends have everything they need! The story of a man that always put everything before HIMSELF!

Now, I understand that some of you are going to think that I am just talking myself up or telling a fib. I assure you though, you can ask anybody that’s ever met me or knows me and they would completely agree with my biography titles. Thanks for reading love you all

Haha

Write about your approach to budgeting.

Pay all the important things within 3 days of payday and then after that spend slowly and wisely!

How did I get so blessed?

Yes, I moved out of home at age 15. Yes, I struggle so hard and so bad learning how to be an adult. Yes, I’ve almost died several times. Yes, I broke my neck and lost their ability to walk or pretty much do anything at all. However, I am blessed, but, why?

My children are absolutely amazing! They do great in school, they help me out so much, they’re nothing like I was when I was their age, and the older they get the more I love being a father! My oldest has graduated high school, I got him a welder for Christmas because he wants to go into school for welding. My other two children are absolutely amazing as well! They don’t participate in anything that can get them in trouble and if their friends are doing something like that they’ll call me and tell me to come pick them up or they will completely remove themselves from the situation.

Don’t forget to stop and look around, listen to the birds, the wind in the trees, the sound of the river, the voices of children off in the distance at school recess. Remember it’s the bad times that make life difficult and teach us we want better and it’s the good times that get us out of bed each day moving forward!

Remember, if donkeydidit… You can too!

Sorry folks, I’ve been down and out.

I would like to apologize to all my readers! I’ve had some health conditions going on and I was in the hospital for quite some time with a bone infection. I have an ulcer on my right butt cheek and it’s just been causing me grief. I currently have a PICC line and my arm going to my heart to administer IV medications at home. Things have been doing good so far I’m back at home with the kiddos and so far so good.

My spirits are high as I still believe that nobody’s going to ruin my day but me. I strive to move forward and I keep climbing this mountain! Remember to stop and be thankful for the good times and the bad. It’s the bad things that teach us valuable lessons and the good things that brings us happiness keeps us going forward.

Remember, if #donkeydidit, you can too!

If you knew me, you wouldn’t believe it…

I put my first cigarette in my mouth at about age 12, my kids have been giving me a hard time about it wanting me to quit. I didn’t want to do what everybody else does and make a New Year’s resolution. So I told them that I would quit for Christmas. I smoked cigarettes off and on for 24 years. I’m a man of my word and I told my kids I quit for Christmas. The last time I smoked a cigarette was 5 days before Christmas! I am smoke free tobacco free and vape free! I got mountains to move and I can’t get there with that baggage! Thanks to everyone that read this and I hope you find a way to distract your mind from and drowned out those Cravings you get whether it’s drugs alcohol or cigarettes!l

It was one of the hardest things I had to do but I did it! Remember it’s not going to happen overnight it takes some dedication for sure! About 4 years ago I got a little too intoxicated at a monster truck show and we got kicked out. The next day my daughter asked me to stop drinking and I haven’t looked back. It’s these little things that are going to impact their hearts the most! Things like this that show them dad does care how they feel!

All the other times I ever tried to quit smoking it was so hard! This time though, it’s like my urge of cigarettes light switch just got turned off it was the easiest thing and I can’t explain why

Going to a family reunion and when I got to go see the Golden Gate Bridge and see Sublime and Incubus live in concert

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

June 28th 2013 my ex-wife are three children and myself we’re on our way to a family reunion when we had a tire blow out on the freeway at 80 miles an hour. The vehicle rolled between five and eight times and I broke my neck somehow someway by the grace of God I was the only one injured! becoming a quadriplegic.

10 years after that road trip my brother my sister-in-law and my nephew left Boise Idaho heading towards San Francisco. It ended up being the most epic road trip I had ever been on! No car troubles no bad tires straight there and straight home with no problems in between. The concert was epic and I’m so thankful I was able to go!

Touch people’s hearts and spread positivity

What is your mission?

Ever since I broke my neck and became a quadriplegic I thrive on teaching and spreading positivity! I love reminding people they need to be thankful for the good times and the bad! I was on my way to a family reunion when my ex-wife and three kids and I had a blow out on the freeway and roll between 5 and 8 times at 80 mph. I buy the grace of God was the only one injured! I haven’t let it get me down and I keep going and going and going! Life could always be worse and it’s important to remember that it’s not that bad to be living here on Earth!

I’ve overcome some big things

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Some positive events that have taken place in my life over the past year are, to me, very significant!

The first and most significant… My anxiety! 40 years I have struggled with horrible anxiety and I’ve tried so many different things to help with it. Natural remedies like essential oils, focusing on my breathing, counting objects, chewing gum, different herbs, CBD, and yes even smoking marijuana. Nothing would work. I had no choice but to take alprazolam and it was the only thing that would help. About 9 months ago I learned about the law of attraction and I studied it through and through. I know practice the law of attraction it has helped me over, a lot of things already. I no longer take alprazolam and I really have anxiety episodes. My anxiety is to get so bad that I’d use my appetite I couldn’t sleep I would think I was having health problems resulting in me constantly being in and out of the emergency room only to find that nothing was wrong.

My patience and anger is another thing that I felt like I needed to improve. That’s not like I would get so angry and just explode on people but when I did get upset or angered it took me forever to get over it and calm down. However in the last year came a long way with it. Now I rarely get upset and when I do I’m not upset or angry for more than five minutes and it doesn’t ruin my day.

My parenting/relationship with my three children. My relationship with my children has changed from me being dad and what Dad says goes, too a lot more bonding with my children, spending time with them and their friends, stressing to them how much I appreciate their help and how well they did, as well as you making it a point to stop and ask them how their day was, check in with them make sure everything is okay at school and with their friends. Becoming more of a friend to them than just being their father.

Since all three of these things have changed for the better I have also noticed that it seems like I’m in less pain, I am not as tense and tight in the muscles as I used to be, and I sleep so much better at night I sort of just lightly float through each day rather than push and fight to get through the day. I myself and us as a family seems to be much happier and enjoy our day to day.

I’m still a quitter

I made the decision to stop smoking cigarettes and I smoked my last one at 2:00 p.m. on the 2nd of December 2024!

Today is now December 11th 2024 and I’m holding strong! That’s nine days I’ve now gone without smoking! I am so proud of myself!

I QUIT

So just over 4 years ago I drink a little too much alcohol at the monster truck show and I got us kicked out. My daughter came to me the following day and asked me to quit drinking. I stopped immediately after three whole years I drank three times and didn’t even get drunk or even buzzed. Since then I’ve probably drink a total of 10 times in the last 4 years. I also don’t ever drink to the point where I am drunk anymore if I do drink which is very rarely.

A couple months ago my kiddos asked me to stop smoking cigarettes. I haven’t smoked for too long but I Vaped for the last 3 years. I didn’t want to be late to typical person and make a New Year’s resolution to quit smoking. So, I told them I would quit for Christmas.

At the time of this writing I have not smoked since December 2nd. Today is the 4th. I haven’t had a single craving for a cigarette and I don’t plan on going back to smoking or vaping. I’m telling you world, if there’s something you haven’t done because you’re afraid of what the doctor say and stuff like that or something you’re struggling to do or stop doing… especially if you have family, don’t be selfish! It’s not about you, you have people that love you and you need to do it for them. That’s why I quit smoking. I told my kids I would and I’m a man of my word.

Thank you and remember to stop look around and be thankful for what you do have the good and the bad. It’s the good things to make us enjoy life and it’s the bad things that make us learn, our mistakes teach us. By learning from our bad ideas choices, we are able to take from that and make our good memories. Also please like, subscribe, and leave a comment. Remember… If #donkeydidit… You can too!

That’s an easy one… or is it a hard one?

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

Deciding that it was necessary to divorce my ex-wife, the first woman I was ever with, my children’s Mother.

I’m not going to get into things because I’m not really trying to drag people down and hurt their name. That being said though, I tried like hell not to go through a divorce and Salvage my relationship. Unfortunately, things were just extremely ugly and her and her boyfriend that she was having an affair on me with needed to get the hell out of my home. Against my better judgment I went with the divorce and I’m glad I did.

I feel like anybody would have given the situation.

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

On June 28th 2013 somewhere around 7:00 p.m. I believe, we, my three children, my ex-wife, and I got in the car accident. By the grace of God they all walked away for the most part completely uninjured. I however, broke my neck. That’s okay I would much rather it me than them! As a result of the broken neck I could no longer walk. It wasn’t a big deal and I accepted it for the most part and I didn’t feel strange anywhere I went, until…

I walked into the grocery store for the very first time. Walmart, it seemed like no matter where I turned everybody’s eyes were on me. Like I was an outcast, like I looked funny, like something was wrong with me. I wanted to just turn around and leave however, I didn’t turn back and I didn’t give up even though I felt completely out of place, didn’t want to be there, and almost even felt like nobody even wanted me to be there. I distinctly remember rushing my wife to hurry along so we could get the heck out of there LOL, but, the important thing is I did not just turn around and leave. I did not just give up.

It took a little while for me to get the courage to go back but, about a month and a half later I finally did. Nowadays I go in and out of everywhere no problem no issues. If I see somebody looking and they don’t stop I’ll go up and ask, can I help you? Is there something you’d like to know? If not, I’ll tell them to quit staring or take a picture cuz it lasts longer haha.

Thanks for reading and subscribing. Remember to leave comments so I know what you think and how you feel! I do read them and I do care! Remember, if donkeydidit… You can too! ✌️💯

I made a new friend for once… originally posted October 10th 2024, JK, I’m not going to talk bad about the guy or speak of what happened I will tell you… He ended up being somebody I do not wish to have in my life.

Now I am a people person and I have no problem meeting people and making friends… I do not allow just anybody into my circle though because I have kids to raise, I’m on a mission to succeed, I need to set a good example for my children, and many other things.

From my experience over the years, I would say four out of five people either, can’t be trusted, have bad intentions, hold me back, don’t know how to be positive, don’t speak their mind, don’t know how to be real, are not genuine, are stuck in their way, have bad habits, or simply just don’t know how to lead by example. The right way of course.

Now don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean they or you or anybody is a bad person and it definitely does not mean I’m better then them or anyone or anything like that… I just don’t have the time or the energy anymore to allow those things in my life. I struggled with internal anger inside my body for a long time as well as letting things get me down. Well, not anymore, not for quite a few years now and I don’t want somebody to allow that, those feelings, to come back. I have no idea when my last breath will be but if I’m not living my best life… Am I really living?

Well, I made a new friend! I don’t want to share his name publicly, but he goes by 2Blessed, or, 2Blessed2Stress… Stress is exactly what I want nothing to do with anymore and let me tell you, he is one positive person! He is definitely not stressing that’s for sure! Kind of guy that is going to lift me up and wouldn’t stop until my spirits we’re High. If, I was struggling or stressing.

All three of my children like him and he cares about what my children think and see. That’s super important! He respects my boundaries and my rules and of course I do his. He is also super respectful. Last night, he took my two sons and I out to dinner and we all had a really REALLY good time! Afterwards, we went by his place and he, well we, mostly him, but, a little me taught my boys how to ride and shift and little motorcycle. They freaking had a blast!

He has the energy and the drive that everybody needs to surround themselves With. On top of that, like me, he loves to help others, learn, and share with everyone the knowledge that he has.

Anyhow, I am sure the world, will be hearing more about him, and myself 😉 but he definitely deserves to be acknowledged here, on my blog!

Thanks for reading and don’t forget to stop, look around, and be thankful! Thankful for the good times and the hard times because it’s the hard times that teach you the most valuable lessons and it’s the good time that keep you going and get you out of bed every morning. Also, remember, if donkeydidit… You can too!
