Welcome, and thank you for visiting my blog. It has been a long time coming. A few years ago, I contemplated creating a blog but struggled with choosing a topic and lacked the interest to commit to such an endeavor. Many of us start with enthusiasm to write our first blog but then struggle to follow up with subsequent ones. Well, let's see how I do after this initial blog. My goal is to provide interesting and beneficial content to my readers in the hopes that they will share it with others.
To begin, I am a native of Dayton, Ohio, born in the summer of 1973. Growing up as a biracial or multiracial child, also known as mulatto, in the '70s and onwards presented its challenges. During my childhood, I lived in a low-income neighborhood and attended a school that is not very vivid in my memory. However, I do recall my teacher mentioning to my mom that I had a tendency to daydream in class and not complete my assignments. As a result, my mom made the decision to have me repeat the first grade, even though the teacher was willing to let me proceed to the second grade. I can't remember my exact reaction, but I do know that I faced the same issue the following school year, which frustrated my mom. Eventually, she surprised me at school, expressing her frustration and providing me with a gentle tap on the back of the head as motivation to be more focused on my assignments.
Why did I share this experience? I want my readers to know that I am a dreamer. Dreams are valuable, even if you find yourself daydreaming with your eyes wide open instead of focusing on your responsibilities as a child. What about now, you may ask? I still dream occasionally, although not as much as before. Dreams remain essential, even as a mature adult with a couple of precious ones who depend on you. You want to demonstrate to them how to avoid the mistakes and pitfalls you encountered in life. I am pleased to say that my precious ones have managed to avoid excessive daydreaming, but they have fallen into a different kind of trap for which I was somewhat prepared. Hello, technology! YouTube (shorts), TikTok, and, of course, social media. These platforms, if I may call them that, are indeed powerful tools. Many content creators and ambitious individuals utilize them to earn a living, which is fantastic given the current era. These content creators have taken their dreams and transformed them into short and long clips that people can watch. With time, after accumulating enough views, clicks, likes, and thumbs up, they can convert their content into currency. If you, like me, daydreamed as a child and possess the know-how to leverage today's technology, go ahead and make your mark. Seize the opportunity while it's available. Just be cautious not to daydream for too long, or you might miss out. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, particularly when you have so much creativity waiting to be discovered by thousands, and possibly millions, of viewers.
This was Laz, and I've just shared all that jazz.
