I know I've been neglecting my blog, but in my defense...
I have no excuses.
There are posts that I want to write and I'm too busy to write them...
or
I don't want to take the time to sit down and write them...
or
I just don't know if you guys want to read what I write.
There are a few projects that I want to start doing, and then there's a couple that I want to restart.
One is near and dear to me...the homeless population here in Killeen.
I want to take the time to sit and talk with those that are homeless, and let you and the world know about them. See, Killeen (Central Texas altogether) has VERY LITTLE RESOURCES for low income people. On paper, they have a bunch, the main one is they will refer you to the Central Texas Council of Governments....which, in my opinion, is a joke.
I tried to call for housing when I moved here and the only thing I got in return was "it's going to be two years until the list opens up"...this is just the HOUSING LIST people...not even the waiting time on the list. In the meantime, there are people that are homeless because they have nowhere to go for help...most of them are VETERAN'S and most of them have some sort of Mental Illness. When I called our State Representative, Brad Buckley, I was told there was nothing he could do. In my opinion, this is EXACTLY why he was elected. Unless of course I'm wrong.
If this was Nacogdoches, I know that Travis Clardy would be working on this situation and trying to fix it. He genuinely cares about the community. With that being said...I do see myself doing something for the community because of the fact that I care about this town and the people that live here. For the ONE homeless shelter to close down because of lack of funding is a joke.
Another thing I would like to start doing is....
Just plain documenting my life again.
Four years ago, when everything fell apart after the Chicago trip, I just kinda dropped off the face of the blog...I do apologize for that, and I promise to be more active on all social media.
And yet another thing I want to start doing again is....
Encouraging more Random Acts of Kindness!
There's Kindness in the world, everywhere...and it can be spread by one simple Random Act of Kindness. So, I'm going to start posting some of my RAOK's and hope that inspires others to do it also.
With that being said, I want to also use this blog to reach out to someone in San Antonio. This person, from what I've heard, is very angry at me for not being in her life...E...it wasn't my choice. You were basically stolen from me, and up until 4 years ago, I had everything documented. You will be 18 in a couple of months and then as an adult, I can (HOPEFULLY) contact you without your grandparents sending me to jail....yes they threatened me with jail if I tried to contact you. I will also send you letters which you will hopefully get at your house. I've always missed you and I've always loved you. If you want, you can ask your aunt to give you my number, I do take blocked calls so you can call me and I won't get your number.
So....This is the start of the new (and hopefully) improved TheMarciFactor.
