I developed a HORRIBLY detrimental π addiction to alcohol πππ πΈ COMPLETELY FOSTERED BY THE EXTREMELY -HIGH-STRESS environment that I could NOT LEAVE π€π€π€β¦. After I returned stateside & I LEFT the military, ππΆββοΈππ£ I CONTINUED to STRUGGLE π€ΌββοΈ with my HORRIBLY DETRIMENTAL π ADDICTION πΏπΏπΏ TO ALCOHOL πΈ until EVENTUALLY πποΈ my driver’s license was REVOKED!!!!!!! π«π π₯²π₯²π₯² SOβ¦. I had to purchase an electric bicycle π²β‘οΈπ² in order to get back and forth βοΈ to WORK ππππͺβοΈπͺβοΈπͺ and ( run ) πββοΈ π errandsβ¦ One night, like an IDIOT π€¦ββοΈ, I took what was SUPPOSED to be a REALLY QUICK ride to the store around the corner π€π΅ββοΈπ£βͺοΈπ£πͺ for some JUICE π§BUT, I left WITHOUT wearing a HELMET ( the SINGLE biggest MISTAKE of my ENTIRE LIFE π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬ ) simply to feel UNINHIBITED and feel my hair π¨βπ¦° flow FREELY in the night-air. ππ¨ BUT, I had an ACCIDENT!!! π΅ββοΈ π₯π«πͺ Although I’m not EXACTLY SURE WHEN OR WHERE π€π«πβ¦ I THINK I remember dodging a vehicle that was going the wrong way behind the store at the LAST second, then hitting a curb and FLYING OVER the handlebars and into the curb, BUT the LAST thing I CLEARLY REMEMBER was LEAVING my HOUSE π‘ FOR the JUICE π§; the NEXT thing I KNOW, I woke up in a HOSPITAL BED WITHOUT a VERY CLEAR MEMORY OF what exactly happened vernight! π¨ππ«π€π And it felt like the left half of my body was pinned π₯π₯π₯π² under a concrete building π«π«π« because I was UNABLE TO MOVE THE LEFT HALF OF MY BODY π«πͺ π Β½ π€ΈββοΈ π±π±π± since I had a VERY SERIOUS β TBI β ( Traumatic-Brain-Injury ) due to the fact that I sustained such a SEVERLY MASSIVE IMPACT π₯ to the RIGHT SIDE OF MY BRAIN β‘οΈπ§ , it caused me to have a condition known as βLEFT-NEGLECT β which made the ENTIRE left half ( π Β½ ) of my UNIVERSE πππ NO LONGER EXISTβΌοΈ SO, that meant I lost complete mobility/use of my left π arm π€³, , hand π, fingers π AND LEG 𦡠( they were totally paralyzed πππππππ ) PLUS, my right π shoulder 𦴠was completely SHATTERED π₯π₯π₯ and my left π shoulder 𦴠was broken π AND dislocated ANNND I was now completely BLINDπ¨βπ¦― ON THE LEFT HALF π«βοΈ Β½ π OF BOTH EYES π₯²π₯². Because I was now no longer able to live INDEPENDENTLY π₯²π₯²π₯²π₯²π₯²π₯²π₯² I had to SELL my house AND SAY GOODBYE π TO LIVING INDEPENDENTLY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE πππππππ and move into a house with my elderly mother ( who is in her 70’s ) and now my MAIN CAREGIVER that has a handicapped apartment β attached to the backside of the house that was pre-built with a handicapped resident in mind ( with ramps at all of the entry/exit ways and wider doorways & hallways for a wheelchair ) ( who was now not only my mom, but also now acting as my care MAIN caregiver β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ ) plus my younger brother β John β π« who also takes care of me 7 days/week, only lives 10 minutes away who is SO into the rastafarian movement, that he decided to STOP getting haircuts Because he the rastafarian movement encourages the growth of dreadlocks to show strength and to remind you of the Rastafarian roots in Africa π¦π« sohe stopped getting haircuts to form DREADLOCKS NINE YEARS AGO he now has 16 DREADLOCKS ( all at least 1.5-2 inch thick and OVER SEVEN FEET!!! ! He is about 6ft tall and they are SO long that he often ACCIDENTALLY STEPS ON THEM when he bends down to pick up something then PAINFULLY pulls his hair on his head when he stands again π±π±π± John always tries to always keep up a β PMA β ( Positive-Mental-Attitude ) so, whenever someone says something he agrees with, he ALWAYS says β TRUE!!! β to show my appreciation for everything he always does for me, I have bought him just about EVERY piece of Rastafarian merchandise and/or apparel for him I could find online; so one day, I decided that I needed to design him a π―% ORIGINAL image that displays TRUE RASTAFARIAN FAITH that could be used on hardware and software itemsβ¦.One that would allow him to show off his TRUE RASTAFARIAN FAITH in UNIQUE STYLE AND SPIRIT and RAISE his VIBRATIONS π WHEN REASONING, SO I came up with an idea π‘ for a shirt specifically for him π, one that said β TRUE β but with only THREE lettersβ¦ β T, R, & U β ( so I could use the three colors of the Rastafarian movement ( β red β π₯ for the blood of the martyrs shed to liberate Africa π¦π«, β yellow β π¨ for the GOLD & RICHES of Africa πΏπ¦, and green π© for the lush fertile lands π΄π²π΄π³π²π΄π² of Africa π¦π«β¦. But then I got an idea for a β Rasta-tree β ( a tree with a red/yellow/green trunk ) with β TRU ” entangled in the roots. Now I just had to create a three word acronym for the colorsβ¦. The first two letters were obvious to me β T β should = β TRUE β, & β R β should = β Rastafarian β ( b-cuz my brother is a TRUE RASTAFARIAN,& I got UNIQUELY π―% ORIGINAL with the β U β; I made β U β = β URB pronounced β HERB β +βNWARE = URBβ NWARE pronounced β URBANWEAR β, but I spelled β w-a-r-e β ware instead of βwear β because the design was meant to go onto MANY different types of products ( HARDWARE/ SOFTWARE) in MANY DIFFERENT types of ways so he could show off his TRUE RASTAFARIAN FAITH IN UNIQUE STYLE AND SPIRIT and uplift and inspire him FOREVER in TONS OF DIFFERENT WAYS ( on hardware & software items ), to save space, I removed the β A β and replaced it with an apostropheβ β β After constantly working on the design for MONTHS π
π
π
doing things like adding β three singing birds β as a reference to the infamous Bob Marley song β three little birds β ( constantly making very small tweaks and edits, when I FINALLY wrapped up my work π I decided to use a β Print-on-demand β site to create various products for my brother. I spent MONTHS π
π
π
designing this modern ICON of TRUE RASTAFARIAN FAITH after I decided on a printing β company that has great reviews, I uploaded my design and started designing all types of different merchandise and apparel ( not just shirts, sweatshirts, hats, cups, gloves, shoes, and pants, and bags with my new β TRU logo β I am partially disabled and can’t work π₯²π₯²π₯², so I made it my new FULL-TIME JOB and got up EVERY DAY β
οΈ and spent LLLONG HOURS πππ on my computer π₯ creating different types of products EVERY DAY NON-STOP AND after a couple of WEEKS of working NON-STOP, I finally took a break βοΈ to check and find out just exactly π how many products I designed, and I was EXTREMELY HAPPY πππ TO FIND OUT that I created OVER 300 UNIQUELY DESIGNED individual PRODUCTS π€©π€©π€©π€©π€©π€© I BOUGHT HIM A NUMBER OF ITEMSβ¦ Because I got my β TBI β ( Traumatic-Brain-Injury ) post-service, I am not eligible for any medical benefits. I have SEVERE P.T.S.D. from my bicycle accident but I donβt get to go to a β VA β ( Veterans Affairs ) hospital to treat my P.T.S.D.β¦. I have a lot of medical expenses to pay for out of pocket every month. I SUFFER FROM HORRIBLY EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL (20/10 ) NERVE PAIN allI the way up and down my left side so bad that EVEN FENTANYL patches didn’t give me pain relief SO, I was prescribed β β/THC β GUMMIES ( Marijuana-gummies ) to relieve my pain and they WORK AMAZINGLY WELL π€©π€©π€© ( BUT, my insurance ( Medicaid ) will NOT cover my cannabis ( b-cuzz it’s STILL a schedule #1 narcotic like Heroin & Cocaineβ¦. WTF π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬ ( I need to consume a FEW gummies EVERY day for PROPER pain relief which adds up to about $200/month!!! ) before my accident I was VERY physically active playing disc golf daily and riding my bike 10-20 MILES/WEEK BUT, because of my inabilty to effectively exercise, I have gained a significant amount of weight since my time in the service. I am TOO HEAVY for my mom to move around in bed dressing me every single day and she can’t stabilize my weight during transfers. My primary care doctor hasprescribed β Wegovy β weight loss shots multiple times, but insurance won’t approve the requests but I DESPERATELY NEED it to LOSE WEIGHT and make transfers safer ( so THAT’S $200/month ) I HOPE I can make enough $$ of my β TRU β merchandise and apparel to AT LEAST cover the cost of the ONLY PAIN killer that works for me ( cannabis ), after trying everything ( even FENTANYL PATCHES!!! ) So, because I wanted my symbol of TRUE RASTAFARIAN FAITH to spread across the π I decided I needed to create an online space to host all the products, I just had to come up with a webpage name (THREE LETTERS IS TOO SHORT, SO I HAD THE IDEA TO USE THE THREE LETTERS+THE WORD β RASTA β( short for RASTAFARIAN ) and I put ALL 300+ TRUE RASTAFARIAN URBβ NWARE items ( shirts, shoes, hats, pants, jackets and MORE!!!
