Truly and in all honesty, I believe that it should be counted offensive to call Asians "Yellow" and Native Americans "Red". It is highly inappropriate and detestable language, I feel.

Additionally, I believe that it should be counted equally offensive to call Africans "Black" and Europeans "White". They are color labels just the same, are they not?

Personally, I would rather be called "European", "European American" or "Caucasian" than "White". "White" feels like an insult to me.

I hate all color labels for people, and I hope for a day in which no one is identified with a color label anymore.

For a living, I help to build defibrillators. On rare occasions when there is a shortage of orders, my company will have me do things more related to shipping & receiving and inventory, such as transporting pallets and scrapping expired products.

I want to express gratitude for how, despite all the work I do there with my hands, I can still play piano. Manufacturing has come a long way. I don't know about other companies, but the tools we have are very efficient and painless to use. When I use the torque driver to send down the screws, it is hard for me to imagine the screws going down any more smoothly and effortlessly than they do. It is like all the parts are designed for each other.

Even so, we have mandatory stetches that we do at the start of each day to warm up our hands. I also will squeeze a stress ball to help warm up my hands, but I'm the only one there I know who does that. My shifts are still 5:30 AM–4:00 PM, Mon–Thu.

Thanks for reading.

I have a new job now, which is nice.
It's full-time and pays me alright.
I guess my main goal in life now is to just be the best employee that I can be and prepare for my future. Kind of boring, I know, but that's how it is.

My shifts are 5:30 AM–4:00 PM and it's in-person work only. I love waking up when traffic is light and going out to be around other people, getting a little exercise walking about some large buildings.

So, I feel like I'm at a pretty good place in my life right now.

Sorry, I'm not a very good singer. Maybe I won't again upload myself trying that. 😅

Current projects of mine, all for solo piano:

• Tutorial on how to play the NHL on ESPN theme
• NHL on TNT theme
• Pachelbel's Canon in D

If anyone might have a request or suggestion for me, I'm here to listen. Thanks for reading.
❤️
