What are you passionate about?
Ever since I was a kid I loved to perform.
My brother, my sister and I used to put on “shows” for my parents in the 80’s. No Social Media or Internet, our audience was our Parents.
We would dress up with what ever we found around the house. My Sister would do a dance and me and my Brother would act out a comedy routine.
Eventually my Brother and Sister grew out of putting on shows, but I never did.
I always wanted to be an actor, I always wanted to be a comedian, a writer, I have always wanted people to smile and wonder.
All of my life I have been trying to figure out the perfect way to put my talents on display.
I won a Film Festival in High School, I went to college for Liberal Arts, Acting, Journalism and what not.
I went on a bold Open Mic Stand Up Comedy Campaign as I began working for a local Radio Station.
For 6 years I tried, grinding away at Stand Up Comedy, making YouTube Videos, blogging and attacking Social Media.
In all that time I never found success but what I did find was an appreciation for Culture. Not just my own culture but all cultures, eventually I realized that every culture is not recognized. That what is the perceived Culture of an entire Country does not take into account smaller Cultures.
I became obsessed with learning the unimportant but relevant, every little quirk and silly tradition, because to me those are the things that are important.
In 2023 I found a way by Cosplaying, Hank Hill from King of the Hill.
I took my passion for performing and my love of Culture and made a video of me looking and sounding like a beloved character.
And people loved it.
It made them smile.
My Dad passed away in late December of 2023.
He always taught me to “Never Give Up.” And to always “Stick to my Guns.”
I have over 100k followers on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
Millions of people like and comment on my videos.
It is one of the only things that makes my Mom happy since my Dad died…
She loves it that I am making people smile.
I am 43 years old and I have not given up for my passions.
They are the only thing that I have.
Accept for my main passion… my son.
I don’t have much money, probably considered to be “poor.”
But I have my passions and that is what keeps me going.
