I write about what I experience. I have been called a transcendentalist poet. I'm from East LA and I have been inspired to write again and will be doing so here

Thanks to my Pop for showing me how to build a platform on unleveled ground. Made one for the dryer and new washer. Thanks to my bro Alex for helping me out with my @BestBuy purchase. After having a horrible experience with the 3rd party delivery people who pretty much called me a liar, complained about how much Best buy pays them to deliver, refusing to install, giving me attitude right away, then half assing installation, i finally have a new washer but now need to have it checked out to make sure everything is ok with it since internal hose was disconnected. Horrible experience with that delivery and they should be ashamed of their attitude and on top of that refused to take the old washer even though i paid the haul away service. But im happy a platform is built and i have a new washer :) #bestbuy #washer #diy #platform #deliveryservice #badcustomerservice #attitude #insulted #concerned #doesitwork #neveragain #stayingpositive #resolution

In Frankfurt Germany at a street vending festival/ event having some beer at the Bad Homburger Brauhaus "Graf Zeppelin" vending cart. Strong older man was polite after i asked in german if he spoke English. He asked of I liked beer and i told him I love beer. He said I'd love this beer and I did. It was a lovely day and we unexpectedly walked into a street full of vendors selling goods, food and wide range of booze. It was wonderful. Felt like home and the beer was fantastic as well as the food. Missing it. #frankfurt #germany #beer #BadHomburger #Brauhaus #GrafZeppelin #BadHomburgerBrauhaus #streetvendor #streetfest #travel #delicious #food #booze #fun #wanttogoback (at Frankfurt, Germany)

In the Black forest in Germany. When i took this photo I wondered where my German teacher was. I looked up and thought to myself how proud she would be to see that I made it to Germany. I couldn't wait to find her and show her the photos. Upon my return I found out she had passed. I was really bummed. While I was in Germany I felt like I was going to run into her and at time I felt like she was around me and now understand maybe she was. A big reason I did so well in Germany and shockingly remembered so much German. Thank You Eugenia Yancey!
