Anyway I'm doing well with my new place updating some things I'm managing to get around well using my cane and just kind of feeling things around so no accidents yet

Last year I was the representative for Altadena at lightbox Expo but now that I have so many vision problems I can't even see the sign up for lightbox which I really want to do again this year like I'm pretty sure I missed my chance which really sucks
I am just so grateful to the friends who call me on the phone so then I don't have to use speech to text because it gets so tedious and feels like a conversation can take like 5 hours
I've been in my new place for about a week and so far I love it it takes a little bit getting used to learn the new layout but it feels really nice to be in my own place on my own couch watching my own Netflix and I'm really enjoying the peace I still can't see shit but things could be worse
I start my move bright and early tomorrow morning I just got to say moving is very expensive and I really wish in hindsight that I made an Amazon wish list
So after a bit more than a year I am finally moving back to my hometown of Altadena and I'm very much looking forward to this new chapter in my life
Waiting for a concert at night is really hard as fuck when you're blind as shit
This morning we dedicated the new children's center at the Altadena Public Library which is now going to be under construction to my father and brother it will be known as the Anthony Mitchell Sr and Justin Mitchell Children's Center
I was trying to tag open mike eagle but my voice to text seems to make that impossible because he's an awesome Mutual and this is my third time seeing him in concert and each time I go the venue keeps getting bigger anyway if anyone else is going tonight I'm the black guy with a cane
On my way to see one of my favorite rappers in open mike eagle who was performing with clipping tonight who I also can't wait to see it's going to be dope as hell
It's kind of messed up that both 1984 and A Brave New World both ended up being right about the future
I went back to Jujitsu about 4 weeks ago and I absolutely love it since I cannot currently draw paint or do photography is one of the few things from my old life that I can still do while I wait to see if I will get any part of my eyesight back
So a little update I can finally get into my messages again so feel free to send me a message I got the accessibility features working and also I went back to jujitsu I've been there for a month now I absolutely love it
It took a little over a year but my family is finally in their final resting place thank you for everyone that has gone through this with me
, hey would you mind helping out the homie they've been really good to me
Thank you so much that makes me happy I keep mean to call you it's just very hard to do that cuz I have to go back and search a number in our chat
This has been insane I hope things are going well please catch me up I miss your music taste and drawings and even your thirst traps I hope all is well
Country I mean I just can't get rid of my love of the mediums and God I miss talking to you Thorne I miss you
I've decided that if I do not get my eyesight back and I'm unable to paint for a job I would like to move into both production and distribution for TV films and animation if I cannot make things myself I would love to help others
I just want to say thank you very much for everyone he shared this from your shares I got about $27 and I went and bought cookies which is my brother's favorite thing in the world for celebrating today
If you take 20 a year ago today I lost my brother and my father and if you would like to order them today or this weekend please go to your local library eat a cookie and maybe watch some Star Trek I'd appreciate it

I hope you don't mind me sharing this again I know it's been a year but they've reopened my fundraiser for the anniversary
Using speech to text to make a post is a lot easier than trying to figure out how to post a link on here like it feels next to Impossible and is a real pain in the ass when you can't see
If you are the type to watch the Rose Parade on New Year's there will be a float dedicated to everyone that died in the fires I cannot see it myself but I hear looks nice
This has been the longest set of years ever and even a year ago today I basically cracked my head open and had to go to the hospital which started this whole really bullshit cycle for me and I'm still exhausted
So go fund me was kind enough to ask to reopen my fundraiser due to the one-year anniversary of the fires and my lack of eyesight making me legally blind at least for the next year I still feel weird about sharing it but it is a blessing nonetheless but a big part of me does I like it's greedy
If you believe Jesus is born in Bethlehem just know that would be modern-day Palestine Merry Christmas
I am doing my best thank you so much for checking in I hope you're well
You know what lately I've come to really appreciate the late night phone call especially when the PTSD keeps me up at night
I really thought with the whole my parents being dead thing I would never hear about when am I getting married anytime soon again but lo and behold I have a lot of aunties and married friends who now like to drill me
