out of the shower and relaxed in comfortable
reading clothes. Reading improves the
functioning of your brain, it increases your
vocabulary, improves your theory of mind,
increases your knowledge, and sharpens your
memory among many other benefits. What I
personally get the most out of reading is an
expanded perception of various scenarios,
issues, topics of conversation, and communication
skills. The more you read the more you
expand your communication skills. You become
more able to contribute to conversations and
discussions. Everything you desire to know is
out there somewhere written in a book; your
task: find it! There are tons of excellent reads
for free and available for PDF download on
google. Look for something that interests you
via PDF download on your phone or laptop
and start stimulating your brain. No apps are
needed but Adobe Acrobat is recommended
to store your PDF downloads. This service is
also absolutely free! If you have books lying
around piling up dust, go ahead and pick one
up. Physical copies are even better by giving you
the opportunity to highlight important text. As
quoted by NBC several times in the past, “the
more you know.” So don’t wait and get to it!
Summary of my Thoughts
There are many things I look forward to
doing in the upcoming years of my life. I’ve
previously talked about law school and I am
looking forward to accomplishing that dearly.
However, I’d also like to dedicate time to
writing sometime in the future. I mean really
write. I feel that most of the things I have
in mind and would like to write about may
possibly be a bit depressing, but I’d like to
get it published someday. There may be many
people out there who can benefit from the
things I would like to put down on paper. The
simple thought of that fills me with joy. I’m
not quite sure about how I want to organize
all of my thoughts yet and put everything
together in one piece. Sometimes I wonder
if it should be more than one piece. At times
I feel like my thoughts branch out as many
different things but remain interconnected
and all leading back to the same source: the
trunk of the tree which would be me. I’m
aware that not all writing is seen as good by
all. Whether a written piece is seen as good
or not, or anything in life for that matter,
depends on various factors. It depends on a
person’s state of mind, experience, personal
values, but most importantly understanding.
Experience determines whether you will
understand something in its true depth or
not and from that understanding comes your
perception. It’s like a chain reaction, and a
dissection. Nothing is meant to be understood
by everyone so my aim is to simply make
an impact on the right ones. I also don’t
know that there is such thing as perfect
literature. Emotions, thoughts, and feelings
are often our own language despite being in
a room full of people who all speak what’s
considered the same language. Put something
in the right words and it will impact more
than you know. Sometimes you get it just
right; just good enough to touch all people.
I look forward to making something out of
letters and words, some type of mental and
emotional craft. Stay tuned. •

you’re worth it, everyone is worth it, maybe
even this rumbling, bumbling, stumbling,
humbling, swirling stab at literary nonsense
has some worth. All 23 of you, my loyal
readers, are valued.
Should I Take Credit?
Did you hear that alcoholic consumption is
at all time high in America? Beer and wine
is being safely delivered to homebound exiles.
Many Americans are taking my advice and
are having a cold one or two. I could be
like our humble president and take credit for
this wonderful, just wonderful trend. It took
a virus to convince people do what I have
been preaching for the past ten years, just
relax and have a cold one. Did you hear the
Easter joke about some guy coming out of
the tomb, seeing his shadow, and now we
have Easter for six more weeks? How about
the homeschooling mother who locked her
kids in the basement all morning and claimed
that it was an extended tornado preparedness
drill. My old lady has been sewing masks for
friends and family. Since her fancy sewing
machine can embroider, I thought she could
make up some novel designer masks. I think
they would be top sellers if she marketed
them with some stupid slogans on them. I
saw the license plate frame that I want, it
read: Do you follow Jesus this close? Send
me your favorite homebound joke or stupid
story, if it is dumb enough I might share it
next week. Thanks to you folks who do
email me ever once in awhile, I love to hear
for you. Be good, be safe, be nice, be all
that you can be.

Lam Son Nguyen
ECC dance major Lam Son Nguyen enrolled in El Camino College in spring 2017, a couple of years after becoming the 2015 champion of Vietnam’s reality TV show “So You Think You Can Dance.” “I’m very proud of my work on the TV show, but I decided that I had to develop my
art,” he said. “I needed to go somewhere where no one knew me so I could just learn. That’s when I came to El Camino, and it has been amazing. The most important thing is that I can grow and be myself.” Read the full story: https://bit.ly/3e8lVAs. Photo El Camino College.
