LIFE-TIME MACHINE
Don't let life take away your endless power. Be happy for this ‘moment.’ This ‘moment’ is your life. When we live completely from the mind over a period of time, we lose touch with the infinite self, and then we begin to feel lost. This happens when we’re in ‘doing mode’ all the time, rather than ‘being mode’ the latter means letting ourselves be who and what we are without judgement. Being doesn’t mean that we don’t do anything. It’s just that our actions stem from following our emotions and feelings while staying present in the moment. Doing, on the other hand, is future focused, with the mind creating a series of tasks that take us from here to there in order to achieve a particular outcome, regardless of our current emotional state. We should be lifting each other up, and cheering one another on. Not trying to outshine, or one up each other. The sky would be awfully dark, with only one star.
Don't let someone tell you that you can't do something. If you got a dream, you protect it. When people can't do something themselves, they're going to tell you that you can't do it. You want something, go get it. PERIOD. The goal is to not get rich, the goal is to live rich.
24 years and counting!
I'am truly thankful and blessed that I have been on this beautiful universe for 24 years today. I thank all the people that molded me to be who I'am today. I remind myself every single day that the greatest of a man is not how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
I open my eyes every morning knowing that I have another day to contribute to this world and contribute to others however I can. I'am thankful for being here, I'am thankful for life, and I’am thankful for you.
Thank you everyone for all the b-day wishes, and I love y'all!

HAPPY 1st CAKE DAY NEPHHH'!
A year ago I became an Uncle and God blessed my family and I a handsome little boy named Matthew.
HAPPY 1st CAKE DAY NEPHEWWW!
"Where Dreams Come True"
Yesterday, my co-workers (Matthew and Tricia) and I visited the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. Boyyy, that was quite an experience! Walking around the studios made me feel some type of way. Seeing the different stage areas, and also the Animation rooms really got me the "feels." Also walking around the "Legends Plaza" was an extraordinary experience.
Lesson from this whole visit; I became "inspired." As Walt Disney himself said, "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse."
It was truly humbling that I'am privileged to have access to a magical and also an iconic place like the Walt Disney Studios. I can't wait on what's ahead of this incredible journey of mine called "life."

WULF PACK ADVENTURES (1/12/2018-1/15/2018)
OH WHAT A WEEKEND!
My squahhh and I decided to go on our very first trip for this year (2018) to the beautiful state of Arizona and Nevada. We came there specifically to snowboard in Mt. Humpreys, Arizona Snowball. That was probably one of the most coolest thing I've ever done in my life so far!
Overall, it was an amazing trip w/ the homies and my best friend's family.
Don't ever forget to keep enjoyin' this journey that we call life.
DAY 1 & 2
DAY 3
FOLLOW YOUR INNER VOICE
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
- Steve Jobs

Oh boy! What a year!
Definitely a year that I will never forget. There was a lot of things that happened this year that for sure tested on how strong of a mindset I have. But in the end, I’m content, because that’s the only thing you can do is move on from it and also enjoy the learning process.
See, we don’t have a thousand years to live here on this planet, so just keep enjoying this journey that we call “life.”
Always remember to make it a habit to tell people, “thank you.” To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you will soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you will find that you have more of it.
HAPPY NYE EVERYONE!
Love y’all,

Be more like Olaf
I mean I love the winter and all, but here in California when you get hit with that cold breeze you're automatically will get sick. WHICH SUCKS! So a little warmer weather would be nice, but N O T too hot, because I don't like that either.
THANKS! (:
46 never looked so good!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL MUMSIE!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Today I got to hung out w/ Mr & Mrs Claus w/ some of my co-cast members in Walt Disney's private apartment in Disneyland. This is truly probably one of the MOST coolest experience I have ever experienced working for The Walt Disney Co.
It took one year and one day to build the original Disneyland, and during construction Walt Disney wanted a hidden little place where he could watch his vision be turned into reality. The solution? The construction crew made him a secret little apartment on the 2nd story of the Main Street Firehouse.
The apartment itself is on the cozy side with only 500 sq. ft., but it served its purpose well. With a small kitchen, bathroom, and wooden desk, it had all Walt Disney needed to create, observe, and spend time with his family in peace from within the park. The apartment has been well-preserved and restored to be almost exactly as it was when the Disney family used the space in the 1950's.
TRULY BLESSED!
Sunday brunch w/ the Wolf Pack
It's always fun hanging out with the greatest friends in the world.
Til' the wheels fall off
Leslie, a girl that I never thought I’d be close and having a great relationship with since high school is still one of the most amazing girl I have ever met so far in my life.
I had the BIGGEST crush on her in high school but you know, “shit happens.”LOL But anywho! I lowkey still have the biggest crush on her til’ this day (but she don’t know that) and I don’t think that’ll ever change.
The only thing I can say is that as long as she’s happy on whatever she’s doing in life, that’s good enough for me. I’am blessed and truly thankful to be having her in my life.
I’m always thankful for your support on whatever I’m doing in life and you are truly appreciated. Don't ever forget that you are still the MOST BEAUTIFUL girl in my eyes forever.
Love you Les!
51st death anniversary of the of the 'Most Influential' human being on the planet.
On this very sad and somber date, December 15, 1966 at 9:35am, The World mourns the passing of Walt Disney. For many of us, he’ll always be known as our Uncle Walt.
Just 10 days after his 65th birthday, Walt passes away at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, Ca.
When the news of Walt’s death reaches Disneyland, consideration is given to closing his beloved Park for the day, but instead it is kept open, as Walt would have wanted. The Flag that flies in Town Square on Main Street is lowered to half-mast.
Many news services throughout the world shared personal feelings and condolences to the Disney Family, close friends and Cast Members.
Marc Davis, Disney Legend and one of the “original 9 Old Men” said when he heard the news: “I was in my office at the studio. One of the men who’s sister was a nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital across the street from the studio called to say that Walt Disney had just died. It was a shocker!”
Disneyland Ambassador Connie Swanson said, “It was like losing a family member. Very difficult. Most of us stayed at work because that’s what Walt would have wanted us to do. The flag was lowered at half-mast. It was very, very hard, and I stood at the Town Square for the retreat that night until the flag was totally lowered. It was my way of saying Goodbye.”
It would take more time than anybody has around the daily news shops to think of the right thing to say about Walt. However, on the CBS Evening News With Walter Cronkite, commentator Eric Sevareid states this about Walt:
“He was an original. Not just an American original, but an original. Period!"
"He was a happy accident, one of the happiest this century has experienced. And judging by the way it’s behaving, in spite of all Disney tried to tell it about laughter, love, children, puppies and sunrises, the century hardly deserved him.”
“He probably did more to heal – or at least soothe – troubled human spirits than all the psychiatrists in the world. There can’t be many adults in the allegedly civilized parts of the globe who did not inhabit Disney’s mind and imagination at least for a few hours and feel better for the visitation.”
“But what Walt seemed to know was that while there is very little grown-up in every child, there is A LOT of child in every grown-up. To a child, this weary world is brand-new, gift wrapped.
Walt tried to keep it that way for adults…”
Roy Disney, Walt Disney's then 74-year-old brother, said:
"We will continue to operate Walt's company in the way that he had established and guided it. All of the plans for the future that Walt had begun will continue to move ahead."
Besides his brother, Walt Disney is survived by his widow, Lillian, two daughters, Mrs. Diane Disney Miller and Mrs. Sharon Disney Brown.
From all of us on your 51st anniversary of your passing Uncle Walt, we would like to pray that you continue to Rest In Peace.

Neighborhood Nipsey x Ayexgee x Vans
I've always been a HUGE fan of rap royalty Nipsey Hussle. Nip is an incredible philanthropist and also an amazing entrepreneur. He inspires me on how to run my business as well, by showing me what really "starting from the bottom" was really all about.
I decided to mockup a potential collaboration look for his brand The Marathon Clothing and VANS Sk8 Hi's. I used the biggest symbolism of Nipsey, which is the gang that he always claims when he raps, the "rollin' 60's crips." So I decided to use the blue bandana material, using different types of paisley leaves material that originated from his country, Eritrean. Also used his trademark "Crenshaw" logo script on the back embroided.
