July 1st, 2004
Today is Oct. 17th 2017 and the New York Yankees are going against the Houston Astros tonight for Game 4 of the American League Championship Series. They caught some momentum at home last night with the help of C.C. Sabathia, Aaron Judge and the Jersey Boy from Toms River Todd Fraiser in an 8-1 victory! I got faith in our squad! Let's bring another one home tonight fellas! No Limits The mind is like the ocean. On the surface it is rough, wavy, and at times hard to see through but when you are enlightened enough to get deeper than the surface you will feel the truth for what it is and the deeper you go the calmer and quieter it gets. Release the Pressure. Your mind is a visionary that can see the big picture. My mind is a historian that can't get over the past. My mind can play tricks on me like David Blane. My mind is like a movie theater that keeps playing the same film over and over again. BUT when the mind is quiet, at ease, at rest, and not in frantic thought; not expecting, suspecting, anticipating, nor trying to figure something out, the mind is like the sea when Moses parted it, Open & Clear. There are rare moments when God enters your body and soul and speaks to you. So the key for us is to be calm, quiet, and Patient. I have learned through life experience that every answer to every question you have lies within. The answers come from within. Your heart is your compass. Your heart waits for the mind to give way and then shines its light, revealing the truth.
Everything Is Clear Now. You are no longer wasting your time. You are the creator! You have the power of creation and destruction. Use the force wisely. You can touch the souls and hearts of all humankind. You are your best-self. You are the truest essence of your being. You may now let go of the weight of the world and float to a higher plane.... Your mental is clear, your heart is strong, and you finally have a definitive purpose. The only person holding you back is you. Remember you must lose to gain. Here in this space... there is no stress, no pressure, no push to be like your peers. Here is only LOVE. You have chosen Love over hate. Love Yourself. Love your natural self. Naked & Confident. God has blessed you! You truly are 1 in a million. May You Live All The Days of Your Life. May You Put your ideas into action. May You Live Ferociously May You Smile More & Think Less. Do not look at yourself. Look within yourself. Because the truth is deeper than the surface. DO NOT HOLD YOURSELF BACK ANYMORE. LIVE WITH YOUR HEART AND FACE YOUR FEARS DAILY! Move Forward Aggressively because time waits for no human being. I Believe You Are Special, Unique, Talented, Hard Working, and Intuitive. I Believe You Are Smart, Beautiful, Giving, Kind, and Selfless. Its all in your heart. Listen and you will hear the way. Unplug yourself from the matrix. Laugh and follow your heart and not what society, your friends, or your family tells you. Only you know what's best 4 U. You can and will make your own decisions. You can and will make mistakes. You can and will create your own path. You can and will live every last day. DARE TO BE GREAT MI AMIGO That is the beauty of life... Free will. 23 years later I finally found out for myself who the singer is from the most epic, classic, and memorable movie of all time! The voice of the first scene from Lion King. So I was watching a Masterclass interview with Hans Zimmer and he mentioned Lebo M. in regards to starting off the movie in a different, passionate, and interesting way. Hans felt that scene would invite the audience to go on an adventure with the movie. And o man were they spot on! So I had to look him up and tears of joy fell from my eyes when I watched this video. So beautiful, so nostalgic to such a pure time in our lives. Bless up to Hans Zimmer, Lebo M., Elton John, Carmen Twillie and everyone else who put thought and effort into this masterpiece. This will live and inspire FOREVER. Bless UP to the Greats!
P.s. Lebo was only 19 when he recorded his part for Lion King!!!!! Find, Seek, Search for your inner Lion King. Be STRONG Stand Tall YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Love each other as you Love yourself DON'T HAVE TO TRY

TIME IS PRECIOUS AND OPPORTUNITIES ARE GOLDEN...
IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET SOMETHING YOU LOVE, GO FOR IT UNDER ANY AND ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. SUCH OPPORTUNITIES ARE EXTREMELY RARE AND PRECIOUS, SO TREAT THEM LIKE THEY ARE ALL IT TAKES IS FOR YOU TO GAIN THE COURAGE AND GRAB THE BULL BY ITS HORNS IN ORDER TO UNLEASH A WHOLE STRING OF EVENTS IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE GO FOR IT ALL WE HAVE IS RIGHT NOW SO FUCK IT. SMILE EFFORTLESSLY, TREAT YOUR BODY RIGHT, DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND ENJOI LIFE!! AND MAKE HEALTHY SNACK CHOICES. IT MAY SEEM STUPID NOW BUT TRUST ME, THAT SMALL CHANGE WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER. "TOMORROW ISN'T A PROMISE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN" SPARK AN IDEA AND SHOCK THE WORLD TODAY!!!! I TYPE THESE WORDS STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART, SO YOU CAN FEEL THE URGENCY, THE PASSION, THE LOVE FOR LIFE. ITS SO PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL DON'T OVER THINK IT. Don't rush it. Keep your vision straight and your message simple. I want to talk today about desire and wanting. In modern society, it feels like it's impossible to not want, to not lust, to not desire. How do we let go of these worldly feelings? How can I not want the flyest fit, lust for the baddest bitch, and desire a better life for myself? Is it possible to let go of these attachments? Buddhism teaches that the reason for ALL of our pain and suffering is because of our desires, our expectations, and our hopes and dreams. Are you saying that if we never expect anything, then we can never be let down ? If I don't attach myself to a desired outcome or the feeling of love and being in love, I can never be hurt? If I don't think of the past or expect anything from the future then I can't possibly feel sad. There will be no comparisons. COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF ALL HAPPINESS!! So live in the present moment and take what life gives you. If you live in the moment, if you are truly present... not thinking back to the past or forward to the future, just living in the moment, you cannot possibly be let down because there are no expectations or comparisons. You are just fully aware of your surroundings and the present moment. Just taking it all in and giving your all to that present moment. As I write this I'm letting these thoughts fly like the airplanes I'm surrounded by. So is it possible not to want? Yes it is. Just Live But it's Easier Said Then Done Its hard to do because are minds are constantly searching for something to occupy themselves. But once you consciously realize when your wanting and have the will power to release that attachment and allow life to be as it is then you will be truly free. As my sister would say "Life is easy if you don't think about the past." So Don't Think Now Let It Go Get Up, Get Out, Get Fresh, & Step Out Don't hold on to thought and go for what your heart feels. Just let it all out. Relax your mind..... Ease your soul......... Be 1 with The Vibe....... Give yourself that Freedom & Peace of Mind. Take 10 Deep Breathes. ​ Be at peace with who you are. . I want to grow as a man and I will. I just have to give it time and not kill myself over it. We don't need to change each other. Love You as you are. I know I do. We are beautiful as is.

ahhhhh life!... Life is too beautiful....
Inception... Perception isn't reality. Dig Deeper than the Surface. Take it Easy kid. Do something that is worth your time. Push yourself for something that is beyond your SELF. For something that will positively effect you and the people you love. Laziness and procrastination had taken over my body and mind for the last 3 weeks! I've been settling! But that's a BIG NO NO. We can't afford to be lazy when we're trying to grow and create change. WE NEED TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE. We need to sit in that space of uncomfortability. Run towards that uncomfortability. Run towards what makes your heart beat out of your chest. CONFRONT YOUR FEARS DAILY! DO WHAT YOU CAN'T! DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO! EMBRACE THE KNOTS AND BUTTERFLIES IN YOUR STOMACH. EMBRACE THE FIGHT SIDE OF YOUR FLIGHT OR FIGHT RESPONSE. GO FOR IT! every little decision counts. Remember that. Every decision is important. You learn that more as life starts to unfold. What I'm trying to say is to have the ultimate faith and confidence in yourself. Be patient and calm in those uncomfortable situations. Be the bigger person even when you want to spaz on someone. You'll thank yourself in the later. Be Selfless. Have Fun! When you feel passion and excitement about what your doing then you know your heading in the right direction. Trust your team and DO NOT MICRO-MANAGE. Do not micro-manage the universe's work. Let it unfold as it may. It unfolds as your past intentions and decisions let it unfold. So make sure your intentions and motivations are in a positive space. Create that vision for yourself and STICK WITH IT through thick and thin. Through criticism, ridicule, doubt, embarrassment, and everything else that comes with being the best U you can be! COMMIT TO THE DREAM. See it all the way through and then some. Invest in yourself - Time and Money. B aware of who you chill with and the type of energy you surround yourself with. B aware of the situation and understand whether or not it is in line with your vision and if it isn't cut it out swiftly and move forward. You got to do it for yourself! You have to help yourself before you help others. B Responsible, Trust in God and Trust Yourself. CHALLENGE YOURSELF DAILY. Challenge yourself to do something that's against the social norms of your everyday society in a respectful way. Fuck it, stop someone, chop it up, take it slow for once. Stand your ground firmly and people will follow, believe me. Your going to get denied plenty of times but fuck it let's have some fun here. Get Rejected! Don't take yourself serious at all. Smile in public :) Act goofy. We're all comedians, we just need to loosen up for God's Sake. Life isn't as serious and dooming as we make it out to be. Find your Love ,Find your Heart. Let yourself turn into a human wave. Loosen up those hips, shoulders, chest, neck and let all that stress and thought GO! Spread your wings. Follow your passion and create. Deliver that greatness to the world. Be the architect of your life. Mentally Design and Build your Dream Destination and then go for it with no reserve or doubt. Cut that loose. Be U. Be Free. Be Happy. The journey's going to be AWESOME! Yes its going to be hard but fuck it. Adele once said the great ones set the hardest goals for themselves. DON'T TAKE THE EZ ROUTE. TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED. I NEED AWESOME IN MY LIFE. AWESOME FEELS GREAT! WAYYYY BETTER THAN OKAY. its not what you want kid, its what you need. So to rap this all up Lets just do it. CHALLENGE YOURSELF STAND UP FOR YOURSELF Realize we're in the matrix and unplug yourself from the b.s. Unplug your mind and get in touch with your soul. FOR REAL (RAH VOICE) Get in touch with your SOUL, your GREATER GOOD EXPRESS YOURSELF TO THE FULLEST ON A DAILY BASIS! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE GROWTH OF YOUR SPIRIT HEART AND SOUL. DON'T HOLD ANYTHING IN OR YOU'LL END UP LIKE JIM CARREY IN ME, MYSELF, AND IRENE. This action will dramatically change your life . So once again perception is not reality. Reality is what you make it. Reality is the decisions you make on a daily basis. Every 1 Counts! Reality is right here, right now! Live in the moment! Give the moment your all. Thoughts are thoughts allow them to come and go. No attachments. No worries. Anazlyze Less. Just b aware of the moment. Don't run after thoughts. No chasing just be still and relax. Here's a couple tunes to go with the vibe... TRUE ENERGY COMES FROM WITHIN.
Please do not look for clothes, shoes, money, other people, or material things to make you a better person. Instead look within. Listen to your heart. Clear your mind. Feel your body's sensations.... Let all the denseness of your spirit, your mind, and your body Go. Feel light like a feather. We are 70% water so be water. Be Water. Flow. Let Things Be as they are. It's going to be Alright. The only thing you can control is yourself so realize that and accept that. I cannot make another person like me. I cannot get her to love me. All I can do is stay calm, strong, and be myself to the truest essence of who I am. Let the waves come to you. Relax. Take a deep breathe... Open up your Heart. Let your head float away like a helium filled balloon. Move on. Meditate. All you need to do is focus on taking 10 deep breathes and let your self get into a rhythm of conscious breathing. Be grateful in your heart for what you have and then set that intention and vision for who you want to be. Stand up for that vision at all costs. Through the embarrassment, the failure, the boredom and the sense of being lost, always bring yourself back to your original vision that you clearly established when you had a still mind. That is my best option. That is what keeps me grounded, motivated, and focused through all the bullshit. But you know I can only speak for myself and the spirits who occupy my soul for the time being. I am a child of God. I am his servant. We are Green Squad because of him. Never Give Up Fam! So throw all these worldly possessions and thoughts out the window. Let yourself be in tune with a higher power. Appreciate what you have first and foremost. Be honest with yourself. Be Responsible (which means responding to reality). Be carefree but not careless. Live for yourself and not someone else's vision of who they want you to be. Live for yourself and not for someone else's idea of who you should be. Be You. Be Balanced. Be who God created you to be. I am who I am and I'm not ashamed. I am happy to be where I'm at right now but I'm still hungry to reach my full potential, which is a life long journey of trial and error. Shoutout to Puerto Rico for raising my Grandparents, Great Grandparents, and so on because if it wasn't for the breathe taking island of Puerto Rico I would not be here right now so Bless Up. Thank You. Bless up to the Most High. I will pass the holy message you've given me. I will share joy, grace, peace, and happiness. I will be who I am and who God has written for me to become. Sincerely, Timothy Raul Torres Cojelo Suave.
LET'S GET IT!!!!!!! COAST TO COAST.
Listen this is a story for the ages. Myself and my best friend Brian J. Roberts rode motorcycles from our hometown Sayreville, New Jersey to San Diego, California. By the grace of God we made it safely from coast to coast and on this journey we spoke to so many wonderful and kind people. We had the chance to pig out at some amazing food establishments. We experienced the beauty of the U.S.A. We went through plenty of hardships like getting Brian's bike stuck in a ditch, getting pulled over by cops in Illinois, and spending lots of hours on the road. It was extremely challenging and soooo spiritually rewarding at the same time. It was a trip of enlightenment. It was a time to clear our minds from technology and the monotony of the system driven lifestyle. It was a time to be who we truly are. It is a time to explore the land and the culture of the different parts of the United States. From the small town of Clinton, OK, where we found an amazing Chinese food spot called Wong's Chinese to the rolling hills of New Mexico where the chili was so authentic that you would have to taste it for yourself to believe. It was something that no one can ever take away from us. This is the truest form of inspiration and exploration. (ps i learned how to ride a motorcycle during the last week of July and we went on this trip the first week of September) So listen, anything is possible as long as you believe in it. On these type of spiritual journeys there will be nay sayers, people who don't understand why the fuck you would do something that's so outrageous. They said there is no money in this why are you doing this. Well folks life is not completely about the acquisition of money. Life is about getting out of your comfort zone, meeting new people, traveling to new places, eating new types of food, experiencing 1 of the 8 wonders of the world with your own eyes. TV is one thing but REAL LIFE my friends is everything. The pictures below will give you an idea, maybe spark your interest that life outside your routine and outside of your normal everyday bubble is beautiful, exciting, different, kind, loving, open, scary, rewarding and everything else you would not understand until you experience it yourself. This trip was a deep meditation for us. Open up your minds and LIVE LIFE. Things to do in your 20's - GO COAST TO COAST!!!!
"I don't want to close my eyes, because everything I have ever dreamed of is right here in front of me. Looking at the waves of Lake Erie come crashing down on the concrete shore of Cleveland Ohio, while the sun is slowly tucking itself into the distant horizon, I can't help but be fully present.. fully aware... that what is happening right in front of me is pure serenity... It is bliss... and I will not close my eyes because I refuse to miss a single moment."

shot all the pictures and video on this
On our way to Chitown, we stopped at a Shell Gas Station to refuel the Indian Scout and Honda Rebel with V-Power Nitro Plus Gasoline.
Lou Malnati's famous deep dish pizza in downtown Chicago.
At this point we were on the road for 8 plus hours so we were STARVINGGGG. We decided to order a large deep dish with sausage and pepperoni and we had their amazing salad as an appetizer. Go for the plain pie because the sausage and the pepperoni was way to much on top of that but hey you live and ya learn. You eat and you burn.
And I again I beg everyone... GET THE PLAIN PIE. You will thank us later.

EAGLE RIDER OF CHICAGOOFF OF RT. 66ABRAHAM LINCOLN NATIONAL CEMETERYBLOOMINGTON NORTH, IL
The Harley Street Glide got caught in a ditch the night before this picture right AFTER we gotpulled over by the local sheriff and his partner. But once the sheriff heard what we were doing and how we got all the sponsors and that we were basically riding across America for free, he became a good friend and we actually ended up chatting with him and a couple of his partners that pulled up. They let us know not to stay in any local motels because we would most likely wake up with a needle in us and our bikes stolen. He advised us to head 50 miles south to Bloomington Normal, which is a college town. (Illinois State University... where the women are absolutely gorgeous and thick!.) So we traversed through the pitch black cornfields of Central Illinois with our new Harley rentals courtesy of Eagle Rider and made it to the Motel 6 in the Bloomington Normal area safe and sound. Shoutout to those guys!
So on our way to St. Louis, Missouri, while riding through the cornfields of Southern Illinois we came across this amazing apple farm. Brian had seen the signs and decided to make the move inside because we were in need of some good nutrition. The apple farm was huge and had a shack smack dab in the middle with a house on each side. We went in and the lady behind the counter who was running the show was very friendly and offered us apple cider slushy for free!!! We were extremely thirsty from riding in the sun for the last 4 hours with barely any water to drink because we were too busy covering ground. The reason that she gave it to us for free was because she had to clean the slushy machine. It was closing time, so we came at the perfect time. She poured us two plastic cups of that delicious apple cider slushy! When that apple cider slushy touched my tongue I felt like I literally experienced heaven in a cup. Honestly, you have to understand we were really parched and tired and the apple cider slushy gave us hope. Hope in womankind, hope in our journey, and hope in the great state of Illinois. I mean it was so delicious and cold and the cider was sooo rich and it just hit all the right spots. After that we purchased a whole bag of apples. We enjoyed the scenery at the farm, talked to the wonderful woman behind the counter about the contrast of living in the city and the slow life of the country. We fully enjoyed that moment, really took it in. Thank God for that woman and thank God for that apple cider slushy. God bless America. The farm was so open, so much open space and just so beautiful to see all those apple trees and all the green grass. It was very refreshing. So shoutout to Broom's Sweet Cider!!!!!
St. Louis, MO
SHOUT OUT TO SUGARFIRE SMOKE HOUSE BBQ IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. HANDS DOWN THE BEST BBQ I'VE EVER TASTED. GOT THE BAKED BEANS, WHICH WERE ON THE MONEY!!!! WITH THE POTATO SALAD WHICH WAS GREAT AND A SHORT RIB, SMOKED BRISKET AND BEEF BURGER WITH A VANILLA MILKSHAKE ON THE SIDE... WE HAD TO EAT LIKE SAVAGES. AND MAY I SAY THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE ARE VERY HELPFUL AND GENUINE. SHOUTOUT TO THEM!!!! COAST TO COAST!
Meramec Caverns, MO
We actually got lost going down RT. 66 and ended up here. What a wonderful mistake!
Ran into a local biker who had a Captain America styled bike. Very cool dude. Gave us crucial advice. "Drink lots of water. STAY HYDRATED!" MAJOR KEY!! COAST TO COAST!
TULSA, OK
OKC THUNDER BABY!!!! This is where they play. As soon as you drive into Oklahoma City the Chesapeake Arena is right at the entrance of the city. It was burning hot at the time so we parked down street from the stadium. I tried to sneak in to see if I could get a peak but they had all the entrances secured. I could have only imagined how energetic and packed this place was when the Thunder played the Warriors in the 2016 Conference Finals of the NBA. History has been made here. Respect that. I also walked through the area surrounding the stadium where they had a botanical garden and I had to ask a couple of people how they felt about Durant getting traded to the team that had just elimated them from going to the championship series. They seemed to be okay with it. One dude looked at me like who the fuck is this dude right here. I had to ease my way into that conversation. But for now OKC is doing just fine without Durant as long as Westbrook keeps putting up these ungodly numbers. Much respect to Westbrook for putting the city of OKC on his back and never giving in or giving up. Once Again... Much Respect! COAST TO COAST!!!
This Bass Pro Shops right in OKC sealed the deal on the homestretch of our trip. It was here that we found water backpacks so we could ride and drink water at the same time! We also met a mysterious man who directed us to the greatest part of our trip... Red River, New Mexico. Shoutout to the 3,000 year old guru.
EAGLE'S NEST, NM
Sagebrush Inn - Taos, NM
By far the most comfortable stay on the whole trip. The Sagebrush Inn is amazing! The beds are fantastic. It was just an amazing experience after being beat up on road and staying in some sketchy spots. The breakfast buffet was top notch and much needed. I swear when I went to sleep my eyes were bloodshot red from the lack of a true good nights sleep but after we woke up after a full 8 hour rest and ate at the breakfast buffet I looked at myself in the mirror and saw a whole new person. We were finally on the homestretch. The hardest part of this whole trip was when we reached the middle of America, St. Louis Missouri. We had doubted ourselves like "how are we going to make it?". The ride was extremely difficult, so getting to Eagle's Nest, New Mexico that day and experiencing the beauty, the silence, and the serenity of Eagle's Nest put everything back into perspective. Plus getting a good night's rest with a healthy breakfast set us back on the track. And now that I think of it that is the key to carry on. A good night's sleep and a full, healthy breakfast. So once again thank you to Sagebrush Inn for a clean accommodating stay and for the breakfast buffet. Without Sagebrush we would have not finished the trip and that's word to the skull head!
The Fountain of Youth. We bumped into him at a gas station in Arizona. He was on the backend of his motorcycle trip. He started in Oklahoma and made his way to Northern California. And he was doing it Hans Solo! Great guy who gave us a lot of precious advice for saftey on the road. He advised us not ride long in the dark and to take it down early so we can get started the same way with a good breakfast in our stomachs. Thank you Fountain of Youth. You saved our lives!
