ROLL THE DICE If you’re going to try, go all the way. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs And maybe your mind. Go all the way. It could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail, it could mean derision, mockery, isolation. Isolation is a gift, all the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And you’ll do it despite rejection and the worst odds and it will be better that anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with Gods and the nights will flame with fire. Do it, do it, do it, do it. All the way all the way. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter, it’s the only good fight there is. If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. by Charles Bukowski @montesmethod #hank #charlesbukowski #poetry #poetry #truth #doit (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPX00KOJcz-/?utm_medium=tumblr

I believe this applies to everything especially for me. It’s what I’ve spent my life doing. One of my favorite writing’s of Charles Bukowski. “If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start.” I used to see him at Hollywood Park. I would follow him, hoping to catch his eye, to thank him. I never did thank him. I wish I would have.🙏 @montesmethod #theartisttheatregroup #hank #charlesbukowski #lifequotes #goalltheway #advice #poetry (at Tarzana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWHnzfpMlI/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the most Positive Life Changing things I’ve been doing is, every morning for the last 2,700 Days is, the first thing I do when Wake up, is I Write a letter to myself. Years ago I keep a diary and wrote at the end of my day. I only focused on what went wrong. Now, with my day not yet begun, It’s Anything Is Possible Day.

Put the pieces in place for my One Man Show. I’m gonna need help. When I hear of a Suicide, my heart breaks a little bit. I have known 6 people who have committed Suicide. When I heard of Robin Williams, it scared me because I thought once you had kids, that option was off the table. Anthony Bourdain’s Suicide has also affected me, as we had so much in common. It’s been 38 years since I tried to end my life. I have Written a play, SUBWAY SUICIDE, a film, THE LAST TRAIN & this One-Man Play, OUTTA THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT, as my effort to bring attention to Suicide, Depression & with these pieces, I hope to help others, INTO THE LIGHT. 🌼🙏🌼 @montesmethod #theatre #theater #play #film #independentartist #independentfilm #suicideprevention #suicideawarness @attitudesinreverse #help (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQzumyJvP_/?utm_medium=tumblr

I believe in Angels, the ones I can see & the ones that I can’t see but I can feel. Perhaps it’s why I Love WINGS OF DESIRE by Wim Wenders so much. Thank you to all of the Angels seen & unseen who have recently watched over my Mother. She is so much better. 🌼🙏❤️🌼 @montesmethod #wingsofdesire #angel #angels #prayer #faith #miracles (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOLeK_p-04/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nothing worse than losing a friend because they didn’t think they had anyone to talk to. I have lost friends in the past. I’ve been there myself with my own struggles. Know that my phone is always on. If you need help, get help. You Deserve it. 1-800-273-TALK or text the word AIR to 741-741.

Here is a picture of My Mom doing what she does every Day of the week. Going to Church & Praying for others. She is still in need of Prayers as she is still in the hospital. Thank you ALL for all the LOVE you’ve been showing her🌼🙏🌼 @montesmethod #prayers #praying #church #love #mom #powerofprayer (at Brentwood, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8OKFkp2mQ/?igshid=173kuuvgpep4q

So, to update. My Mom is back in the hospital as of yesterday. She should have never been released from the hospital as she was battling Covid. I feel better that she is getting the help she needs, now. Thank You All For Your Prayers. If you have called, and didn’t pick up, it means I couldn’t speak. I am my Mother’s Son, and sometimes my emotions get the best of me🌼🙏❤️🌼 @montesmethod #powerofprayer #pray #prayers #padrepio #mom #heal (at Brentwood, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6CHDIp-ke/?igshid=1w3khyk6fm551

My Mom spent a lot of her youth in St. Thomas Aquinas Church in the Bronx. As a child she prayed at the feet of a Statue of St. Anthony. She Prayed to have 5 kids. She did. She Prayed that we’d come, boy, girl, boy, girl, girl. We did. Early in her life she Believed in the Power of Prayer. As a kid growing up I saw when family or people in the neighborhood got sick, it was my Mother they would call on for her Prayers. My whole life she would continue this practice and ask me to Prayer for them as well. I did & I do. I knew from Childhood that my Mother was & is Special. Whenever someone I know needed it, I asked my Mom to Pray for them. She did. And then she got the Holy Water that was Blessed by Pope John Paul II, whom she felt a strong connection to. I used some of that Water on her when I was home last week. It all seemed to be working. I came back to LA. This week she’s taking a turn for the worse. The effects of having gotten Corona are weakening her. Her Oxygen levels fluctuate, she is physically exhausted and she is losing weight because of a loss of appetite. She needs someone with her 24 hours. With my brother & sisters, we are working it out that someone is always with her. I will be going back in a couple of weeks. My Mother still needs your Prayers, please. Thank You🌼 @montesmethod #prayer #saintanthony #saintthomasaquinas #miracle (at Bronx, NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO24BsjJpS_/?igshid=lhy7suviih2e
