Hello Everyone! I hope you are having not too crazy of a Monday?! I hope you are having an easy breezy time with no issues. I am sharing some audio that I captured last week while walking home. I had some fella follow me for quite a ways while endlessly rambling nonstop about many things. Some of it was a political rant. He sounded mad at the world. He kept following me off Bell Blvd and for a few blocks. He must be known within the community. He stopped following me once an NYPD vehicle did a U-turn and approached him. I guess he didn't want any of that smoke and started walking back to Bell Blvd. I didn't like the unflattering video footage of the sky and my forehead, I was carrying a box when this happened, so made it into an audio format and then used Animoto to create the MP4 format again. Here are the several clips I caught while walking. I'm sure this guy's voice sounds unstable? Here are the clips that I loaded up to my Verbally Disastrous YouTube chann...

Photo Credit: www.totalsafety.org Hello Everyone, I have been occupied with other projects lately and my podcast has been on the back burner. Not having my car has altered my weeks. I sure hope you are having a much better time. I spend more time walking and taking mass transit. I don't want to wine about it since it could always be worse. However, it has had an impact on my creative projects. I spent 6 hours traveling to see my youngest son Jho play with his varsity football team on Saturday. The Carmel Rams beat New Rochelle by 28-0. My son said that his team was afraid of New Rochelle since they were state champs last year. I am happy for my son being apart of a positive and winning experience. I need to rent a car on football nights until I get my permanent car. He is a junior so he has less than 2 years left with high school. It was worth the trek to see his excitement. Now, I opted to release a podcast episode to offer guidance as to becoming a Site Safety Man...

Photo Credit: My Waterfall Painting- Leslie M. Jasper Hello Everyone! I hope you had a decent work week that was low key and easy? Are you thrilled that it is Friday!? Do you fantasize about your weekend grill menu today or the past week? It is not something that I do. However, I appreciate others who think about lunch and dinner at 7AM at work. It felt like it went by fast for me this week. I have been very involved with a variety of tasks. My latest side hustle is releasing low content books on Amazon!! Of course, I am going to share this new venture on this blog post. It's only fair since I have dedicated quite a few time to working on creating them and not to my usual blogging. I indeed owe a new podcast episode since I am behind. I shall try to release another one this weekend. I need to work on more step-by-step safety tutorials on my Leslie M. Jasper YouTube Channel as well. The goal is to grow a collection of side hustles from the computer. I have a bad back...

Photo Credit: https://www.yourquote.in/bazyl-atreyu-gtq5/quotes/you-my-moon-b7hu7 Hello Everyone! How is your week going people? Sucks to be a Monday huh? I have been working on my latest side business venture over the past few days. I am creating journals, sketchbooks, and gratitude journals and have them on Amazon for sale. I have not seen any of them go live just yet. I'm sure that I will tell you all about it when the first batch of them go live soon. I am focused now on trying to pound out some journals and put them online so I can get an income stream going. When I have time, I will hunt down and share questions from Quora and my corny advice. I try to answer all requests on Quora and look for questions that caught my eye. This Quora question is about some corny chick sharing to a dude that he is her "moon". I guess it is a great way to let a dude know that you are his new stalker-LOL! It sounds great if he is interested. It sounds psycho if she is th...

Photo Credit: www.fbfreestatus.blogspot.com Hello Everyone! The weekend is here people! Are you excited for it being Friday night? If you are reading or listening to this blog post from the bar, I say "cheers" to you and your buddies! I'm tired of discussing my Hurricane Ida loss bullshit so this is the last comment on it. Instead of crying over it, I am focused now on trying to pound you over the head with some questions from Quora and my corny advice. I had dropped a few on you yesterday since I have found some time. I found even more questions geared for me, here is another Quora question that caught my eye. This question is on a person having more books and friends as well as the subject of loyalty. How high on your list is loyalty amongst family and friends? I have a very small circle of friends. I have been that way since I was a kid. I only had one valuable friend in middle school and one close friend in high school when I moved. My sons have a small ...

Photo Credit: www.medium.com Hello Everyone! You all better be having a kick ass week! Are you excited for it almost being Friday? If you are reading this from the bar, I say "cheers" to you and your buddies! Yes, as I have mentioned in the past few posts, I am still dealing with the painful process of replacing my SUV that was lost during Hurricane Ida. I am now trying to pound you over the head with some questions from Quora and my corny advice. I have dropped a few on you at once tonight since I have found some time. I found even more questions geared for me on Quora and this is another one that caught my eye. I had some in draft mode for a little while and I recently re-discovered it. This one is the latest and greatest request for me to respond on Quora. This topic is on the meaning of someone asking you if you fear them. My answer is always HELL NO!! Even if I did have a small smidge of fear, I would not reveal that. I had to take beatings from my dad who ...

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a great work week! If you are reading this from the bar, I say "cheers" to you and your buddies! I have been off the grid lately dealing with many things that life throws at me. Yes, the painful process of replacing my SUV that is still ongoing. I had to clean up a basement that was filled with stuff that got ruined by Hurricane Ida. I am now trying to carve out time to check out some questions on Quora. I have a few to drop on you at once. I found even more questions geared for me on Quora and this is another one that caught my eye. I had it in draft mode for awhile and I recently re-discovered it. This topic is on the signs that someone is looking for an ass whooping. Oh... let me count the many ways!! My first thought is before you think about the signs, ya better be able to dish out an ass whooping. That would be so embarrassing being out on the streets trying to kick some ass to only have your ass kicked. In the moder...

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a way better work week than myself. I have been off the grid lately dealing with many things. I had the painful process of replacing my SUV that is still ongoing. I had to clean up a basement that was filled with stuff that got ruined by Hurricane Ida. I am now trying to carve out time to check out some questions on Quora. I have a few to drop on you at once. I found some more questions geared for me on Quora and this one caught my eye. I had it in draft mode for awhile and I recently re-discovered it. It discusses how to 'politely' tell another person, who is offering unsolicited advice, to 'mind their own business'. I am aware that everyone has a different style of communication. Obviously, I am not afraid of speaking or writing out how I feel. I am aware that this is a challenge for many people either verbally or written. Different cultures also present their own unique way of handling this issue. Perhaps you are not...

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a way better weekend than myself. I had to watch my Honda go on a flatbed to head to the junkyard. It was considered a total loss so I have to pick out another set of wheels at some point. The whole entire process is painful. Thank God for insurance. I have been cleaning up a mess from the flood in the basement for the past two days. It is finally in better shape. We got rid of the items that grow mold. I found some more questions geared for me on Quora and this one caught my eye. It discusses why each person has a way different style of communication. Obviously, I am not afraid of speaking whether it is answering questions or crafting my own. However, I have been known to sit back and observe when I can get away with it. What is your communication style? Do you tend to rub people the wrong way when you communicate? Here is the posed question and my offered response below. I am giving you a reminder that both the Audio Blog and Podc...
