Next up on the journey back through the Raw Thoughts series puts us at #RawThoughtsV .. 2021 was a weird time, and I seemed to be the only person in my realm of music speaking out against the vax. Pretty sure this is when the shadow banning really started...

⭐️: I honestly spent so much time thinking about it. At first, I kept wondering if it was the right choice. Every time I looked in the mirror, it felt unfamiliar and a little awkward. And I think there are certain shades of blonde that suit me, and others that just don’t feel like me. But I really, really thought about it a lot. On top of that, there were times when I was out and about and had to deal with some not-so-great reactions because of it, so I had a lot of worries. I kept going back and forth in my head. When I wore that outfit for the music show performance, I actually couldn’t sleep at all the night before. I had so many thoughts and worries that I was basically fighting with myself. My mood was really bad that day. But even though my body felt like it weighed a ton, I dragged myself to the music show and did it. And while I was there, I was still battling with myself, thinking, “Is this really right? Am I just too stuck in my own perspective to see it clearly? Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t get it.” But at the same time, I kept telling myself, “We already filmed the music video like this. This is something I have to commit to.” So I went on stage. I was honestly feeling really down that day. I had almost no confidence in myself. But later on, seeing that so many people understood it and liked it made me realise that maybe it wasn’t completely the wrong choice after all. That said, my favourite hairstyle on myself is still black hair. So today, I got my hair and makeup done, looked in the mirror, and thought, “I need to go live.” So here I am.

Travis Kelce says getting kicked off the Cincinnati football team forced him to build better habits and structure into his life “I was extremely fortunate. It wasn’t just my mother and my father. It was all the parents in the community that I grew up in that I felt like I had embarrassed too, the people that really helped me and supported me growing up.” “So many people vouched for me in that situation. My brother being one of them. They told me I had guidelines that I had to go through. What it did is it created routine and structure in my life that I hadn’t taken serious up until that point.” “Once I found that routine, I began to use that in every aspect of my life. I started using it when I watched film. I started using routine when I lifted weights or when I was training. It programmed my mind to find, ‘How can I get better as a person in all these little aspects of life?’” “My barber growing up told me to go look up Carnegie Mellon’s The Last Lecture. It was a beautiful story about how he figured out what mattered to him. It’s not how you achieve your dreams. It’s how you lead your life in the direction and the routine that you set, and how focused you are on the little things. That’s how you achieve everything.” “You don’t focus on the big goal at the end and have all this hope and desire. All that’s good. Everybody has that. But it’s the ones that strategically put it in place every single day.” “When I started to really get into that routine, man, I just took off. Football became so much more fun because I was having so much more success. I wasn’t just banking on my athleticism. I was using my mind to open up things and do things on the football field that I had never been able to do.”

Initially I was going to get the jab, because I was worried about keeping my job back 2021. I was concerned from the onset on how quickly the vax was being rushed out into arms. At the time I worked as warehouse supervisor. As fellow employees started to get their first shots I noticed then a huge spike in absences. Many never felt the same after getting it. The straw that broke the camels back was my grandmother having a massive stroke after her first shot. Up until that point she was fully on board with the narrative. A week later I received an email from HR asking my status. Without hesitation I related the story about my grandmother, and informed them I would not be receiving any jab. Two weeks later I was terminated. I spent some weeks looking for another warehouse job only to find many required the jab. I started to get demoralized, but was persistent in looking for a job. I finally landed a scheduled interview at a record pressing plant. Which as a musician was a dream job. Unfortunately for me a tore my achilles while playing with my puppy a week before. It was my most severe injury in my life, and I couldn't walk for 3 months. All during this time the mandates were getting stricter, and the media was whipping folks into a frenzy. Being unemployed and crippled during the later part of 2021 and 2022 brought me to a dark place like no other I have known. Seeing the constant dehumanization of the unvaxxed wilted my heart. I thought I would never be able to work again legally. If it wasn't for my then girlfriend solidarity with me at the time, I likely would have taken the cowards way out of living. When the Freedom Convoy started from out west, a flicker of hope came over me. Seeing the momentum build started to fill my heart with pride as a Canadian. By the time they got to Sudbury, my grandma who prior was Liberal supporter, was out on the highway bridge cheering on the truckers. My parents went without hesitation to participate. If I wasn't immobile at the time I would have been there myself. I did the next best thing and watched the livestreams from beginning, to the end of the convoy. Despite the authoritarian crackdown, my pride as Canadian was never stronger.

I remember when I was young, around 10-11 years old. My parents were both asleep as was my brother. I heard a knock on the back door which was weird because who uses the back door at a stranger’s house? The kitchen window was close by so I take a look. It looked like a teenager but hard to tell because they had a hoodie with the hood up. I didn’t open the door but I did crack the window and asked them what they wanted. They replied they were lost and wanted to come in to warm up and use the phone. Even when it’s daylight I know never to let anybody in period that I didn’t know, but a stranger after midnight was weird enough. I said no because I didn’t know them. Then they said that hey knew my dad and that’s why he came by. I said that’s fine and all but I’m not letting you use our phone. This was before cellphones were widely used, we had a landline like most people. The person wouldn’t take no for an answer and I could sense he was getting angry. I went and woke up my dad, I told him there was somebody at the back door and that he said they knew him. He walked to the door and looked out and said he didn’t know him. But he did talk through the door and told him that he was calling the police and that he should just leave. The person just stood there until the police finally came and even they asked him what he was doing knocking on the door at that hour. He told them he was lost and thought this was a house of a family friend. The police told him my dad didn’t know him and made him leave. So was this a case of wrong house or was he up to something. It makes me still wonder to this day but I’m still glad I never opened the door.

BBC UNVACCINATED DOCUMENTARY - With all of the news that’s coming out regarding risks from the C O V I D V A X, I thought I would bring back my greatest achievement: Being one of the first people to warn the public about the risks and harms from the V A X on mainstream media, before it all came out. Now that the truth has come out (and they have very quietly banned them for under 50’s), people aren’t calling me crazy anymore. I am getting so many apologies, people are now coming to me for advice - and the death threats have stopped. I take pride in being brave enough to speak up about this on the BBC, knowing I could lose my job, family, and friends (which I did). I take pride in being the first and only person to mention the Pf-i-zer documents on the BBC. I’m proud of myself for calling out the 9 pages of adverse reactions which no one is allowed to talk about. I take pride in the numerous messages I receive daily, saying that I was the reason people didn’t get injected, or didn’t inject their children - and thanking me for possibly saving their lives. For changing their mindset, and for making them realise that the government lied to them. That the pharmaceutical industry do not have their best interests at heart. I knew that the documentary was a BBC setup, I knew that they would try to use it to brainwash the masses even more. But I also knew that it would fail massively if I took part in it, so I did. Everyone told me not to, that they’d edit everything I said to make me look stupid. But something told me it would be okay. And I think that was God speaking to me. The constant manipulation and silencing I experienced in that house had a massive affect on me, and I struggled to get through it - but it was something I knew I had to do, and I was able to turn my sadness into strength. A massive shout out to Vicky, who was in there with me and kept me strong. She is the only reason I was able to get through that week without losing my mind completely. You will never understand this, but it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever been through, I will talk more about what they did to me in a separate video. Thank you for all your support 💗

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."
