comment, and everything else. So we're gonna let Ranger take the whale
2:37
today talking about Stories from the Dock. When you explain it to me,
2:40
I think it's really such a dope concept. And I don't think that I
2:46
don't feel like my current situation is is worthy of Stories from the Dog because
2:53
I'm not. This situation never really put me in the dock, not even
2:57
when it first happened. Nah, believe it or not, then, your
3:00
strong brother. But though my story from the Dog is when I got shot
3:05
that that kind of put me in the dog. You've been through a lot
3:07
out of grace that's been trying for the blonde community out there. If you
3:13
can't see Ranger like describe your I'm current of my disability is, uh,
3:21
I don't have any legs. I got hit by a car. I was
3:25
in twenty twenty one and I lost both for my legs. I was two
3:29
years ago. Yeah, so walk us through that day, um man.
3:35
To be honest, when I think about it, is it's really probably one
3:39
of the sunniest days that I that I ever seen. It was so sunny
3:45
that day, it was like really nice, and my brother had just came
3:49
from Haiti. So I decided to take the to take the day off of
3:53
work and just spend it with him because it was such a beautiful day.
3:57
It was June. Um, June seventeen twenty only one very again, very
4:02
very beautiful day. You just want to take charge for that day, you
4:05
know, you just want to tackle the day. And I'm in crown I'm
4:13
in Crowning Heights loading up the back of my truck and next thing I know,
4:16
man, somebody just ran into me. Boom. Yeah, just like
4:21
that. I'm standing facing in front of my truck and she came from the
4:26
back and she just ran into me. All I heard was boom. She
4:30
was drunk. Na. Apparently she was texting. Yeah, yeah, apparently
4:33
she was texting. So she wasn't able to see me in time to stop
4:40
the car. But yep, June seventeen, she ran into me. I
4:44
looked down. Actually, when she ran into me, I didn't even think
4:47
believe it or not, Bro, I didn't even think that something was wrong.
4:53
I was just like, what was that noise? Because all you do
4:57
is hear it. Everything happens in in a millisecond, people like one second.
5:01
One second is a very long time in danger, bro, Like a
5:05
millisecond is all it took for this girl to just took she she took both
5:10
of my limbs the second she ran into me. She took both of my
5:13
limps, just like that. So I came from standing up and I saw
5:17
myself. I felt myself sitting on her sitting down, looked down. I'm
5:23
like the heck, bro from my boneste. No, no, no,
5:29
they weren't that. They were still hanging on by a thread. But all
5:32
you saw it was bones poking up, blood pussing up it. Man.
5:40
Nah, I didn't pass out the whole trip, the whole thing. I
5:43
went to the hospital and everything. I didn't passed out. But it was
5:46
like that when I got shot too. When I got shot, I actually
5:48
I left. I drove home without knowing I got shot. Yeah, it
5:53
was thirty three. I just think about that, like I'm not good doing
5:57
a lot. God damn. God's good. Yeah, it's definitely good for
6:00
that. So for that moment, like that whole process of you though,
6:06
everything was good, Like you can still have feeling in your legs. Yeah
6:10
no, no, no, no, no, um, but you don't
6:14
know what You're not feeling what I'm saying, because it just happened. So
6:16
you just sitting there like what the heck is going on you? That takes
6:21
about twenty seconds to start kicking in. From once that twenty seconds it's past,
6:29
You're gonna know you ain't got no legs. Hey, after that twenty
6:32
seconds was ah, yeah, it was painful. Yeah, you're a strong
6:40
brother. It's been two years ago, and you've got to smile about it
6:43
when you know it took me eight years to to really adjust of who I
6:47
am an adult. I don't know. With me, I don't think it's
6:54
it's it's even about the situation. If I'm gonna be honest, you know,
6:58
hardship is just something that I'm comfortable around. I know how to maneuver
7:02
about the grace of the Lord. I know how to maneuver my way out
7:05
of hardship, so I don't really sit there and think about the problem.
7:10
When I face hardship, I think about I'm so focused on the solution,
7:14
on trying to figuring out, on on on figuring it out, that by
7:17
the time I get to the problem, it's it's like, oh, when
7:21
let's we got to talk about this now, I guess. Yeah, it's
7:26
crazy. I can see you mover. I can see your shadow you get
7:30
I can see your shadow. That's built. I never seen nobody shadow an
7:33
episode the first Wow. Yeah, I can see your shadow moving. Wow,
7:38
that's something. Yeah. Yeah, we we don't high we weren't high
7:43
frequency. That's why that's why we're operating on high frequency. Yeah yeah yeah,
7:48
but how was your mental health at that moment? How was your mental
7:51
health? Um? The very first thing I did when I got hit by
7:56
the what I call was, so you think you're going to die because you
8:00
know we all yeah, we all. You know, we all go to
8:03
school. We know you know, no blood, Well you're there, right,
8:05
so the blood coming out, you're about to die. So what I
8:09
did was I grabbed my phone and um, I allowed myself to hit the
8:13
ground, and um, I took I took a video and I sent it
8:18
to my family just basically tell them. I'm like, look, I just
8:20
got hit by a car and uh I'm about to I'm about to die.
8:24
So just no, I love you, you know. And then that's pretty
8:26
much year. I told everybody I love them and I told them goodbye.
8:31
But I was wrong obviously, yeah yeah yeah, So for them, you
8:37
won't blank out nothing. Nah nah bro because when it when it happened,
8:43
it was survival mode to me. Like I said, for some reason,
8:46
I have this personality where I just focus on the solution. Once I know
8:52
what the problem is, I focus on a solution, and it's not it's
8:56
not something where I got a process. It's like the second it happens.
9:00
So the second I got hit, I look, okay, you gotta hit
9:01
by a call. Your legs are poked out. What you're gonna do?
9:05
It's out of your control. My only solution is get on this floor,
9:11
send out this video because you're about to go. So I did that quick.
9:15
But after I was done with the video, I'm realizing, oh,
9:18
you're not going as quick as you thought. So then That's when I kind
9:20
of started to take deep breaths in my in my head, I'm telling myself,
9:26
just breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, and I'm keeping my body
9:31
in movement. I'm keeping my I'm onna floor. I can't move, so
9:35
I just I put my fore arms down and lift my upper body up and
9:39
I'm just making movements. Breathe, breathe, breathe. And then next thing
9:45
I know, the ambulance is here. They can't fast, Yeah, they
9:50
can't. They can't breathe. Right, But the woman I was texting that
9:52
she could at least help you. No, till this day, the only
9:56
thing I ever heard from that woman was, oh my god, I'm so
9:58
sorry. Yeah, is it? She never reached out. Noneing, no,
10:03
no, no, Tonyan no no. But you know, how do
10:07
you feel about the situation? Because I know when I got shot, and
10:11
I know I wanted it back in blood. I wanted everybody. I'm a
10:15
lie, your mother, your grandmother, everybody. At that moment, it's
10:18
nothing that nobody can tell me. I feel like you took something away from
10:20
me. I understand that. So how did you feel? Yeah? I
10:24
felt I felt the same when I got shot, but in this pecide shot
10:28
didn't take your legs. Yeah, but in this specific situation, um,
10:35
I don't. I didn't feel too evengeful. Um. The only times I
10:41
will say that I felt like I should get some revenge would be when I'm
10:46
going outside, like before I got my knees and I was going outside and
10:52
it's raining, you know, I got to touch the floor I missed dirty,
10:56
and then um, yeah, like when I'm around dirt that I have
11:00
to touch, that's like that, that's Those were the only times where I
11:05
felt we where I felt like, you know, but during those times,
11:09
I just remind myself that vengeance is the Lord's you know what I'm saying.
11:13
It's not for me, you know what I mean what you're saying. But
11:16
at that time, I wasn't try to bro because because you know what the
11:18
thing is, Bro, If I don't do that, Bro, it's gonna
11:20
be a problem. Because if I don't do that, we're gonna go crazy,
11:24
right because you took my leg shorty. Like if we don't, if
11:28
I don't tell myself that we we're gonna we're gonna have to go nuts.
11:31
Right. So it's like it's like you can you can get up about your
11:35
bed. Yeah. I don't like mess what your mentor it does, it
11:39
does, it does at times. But what message with my mental even more
11:41
is the fact that I don't have to be here. Yeah you know what
11:46
I mean, and the fact that I'm here, that that keeps me sentence,
11:50
that keeps me center, keep keep you moving. Yeah. We ain't
11:54
trying to get back it just because because we have things to do, right,
11:58
we have used to do. I was in the hospital first. When
12:01
I get out this hospital, I'm getting back. Oh no, when I
12:03
was in a hospital. Oh, but I was at a hospital. Everybody
12:09
in my family, my friends, everybody just wanted her head something different,
12:16
your life change both flags, Yeah, both legs. But you know,
12:22
we walk in and everything like that with these legs. So I'm getting pretty
12:26
good with them. You definitely doing I said, you're flying down the whole
12:30
way. Yeah you saw that. Yeah, yeah, you do your thing?
12:33

15:24
accepting that, not just accepting the new situation, but you know, saying
15:30
to yourself, I'm gonna do this by myself. I don't need too much
15:33
help. That was very hard. If I didn't have my son, I
15:39
still would have been in that bad waiting for me to die. I gotta
15:43
motivate him. One day, his mother like, yo, she didn't take
15:46
on the basketball practice. He said, there moping around the house. Yeah,
15:48
you think you can get us a cursed street without getting hit by the
15:50
car. You're like yeah, I'm like, come on, we out.
15:52
We walked to the bus and took the bus to the school. We live
15:54
in crowd high school, went away to the Star and just for him to
15:58
go to the basketball practice. I'm over scared. Old, you got man,
16:02

16:03
like, nah, come on, let's go. I ain't worry about nobody
16:07

16:12
Blinda, No, I'm gonna go, You're gonna go. I'm gonna go
16:15
for my guy. He still do I tell people to hor bet don't because
16:18
I'm an doc, Bro, doesn't mean I won't go on. Nothing change,
16:22
nothing changed. I'm still the same person. Bro. Like once a
16:26
person take that out of you. It's like you nobody did. But it
16:29
took me in like eight years to really adjust to it, because like I
16:33
used to use the stick walk to the corner, and it ain't for me
16:37
turn back around. One time I went downtown, I'm like, you're miss
16:41
Like, what are you doing? No, We're gonna downtown. She pushing
16:44
me, pushing. I was pissed off, but it's like I she doing
16:47
it because you want to help. The times I go outside before, when
16:49
I first started, I go outside with my stick, it ain't me.
16:52
Iut through a crush street. It felt on the gate to go back there
16:55
to point. They were like, yo, you broke three sticks. We
16:56
didn't give you no more. Keep breaking them break and I'm just left it
17:00
right, Bro, that wasn't my life shot when I was twenty one,
17:04
who he was just getting into yeah yeah, yeah, living life. So
17:11
I felt like life has slashed away from that. Someone's only one years over.
17:15
Wow, so it's like to adjust to that. It took me time,
17:18
but now I'm the official blind. Stuff look good. But you don't
17:25
even understand how big of an inspiration that you are. Like to me,
17:29
I can't even why. I can't speak for everybody, obviously, but but
17:32
to me, because I'm over here like everybody, it's telling me how tough
17:40
this is for me to do, you know, walking, Um, talking
17:42
about my fellow imputees. They're telling me how tough this is. And oh,
17:48
you know, you're not gonna be able to do it because it's so
17:49
heavy, and it's not it's not no joke. It is extremely, extremely,
17:53
extremely hard to do. But you're doing it. I'm getting it done.
18:00
And I was able to use you as an example to a new MPT
18:06
about a week ago when you and I were conversing on Instagram. So this
18:11
new MPZA hit me up and um and he hit and he asked me about
18:17
walking and stuff like that, and um, he said that he may not
18:19
be able to do it. And I told him straight up, I said,
18:22
bro, I'm walking without no no handle device, no devices. You
18:30
understand I'm about to sending you this Instagram check this out with quick. This
18:36
man he don't have sight like we do, and he still go out there.
18:41
And so you can't tell me you have your sight and you worried about
18:47
falling and hitting the ground and this and that when you could see where you're
18:51
gonna get up at when somebody else that can't even see where if they were
18:56
were, if they would fall, they're still going to do it. Yeah,
18:59
I'm saying, get back up. You can't give up. And he
19:02
didn't say me. I don't know if he started following me, but he
19:04
answered me like you inspired him also, bro, So thank you for that.
19:08
I really appreciate that. Thank you man. You gottafford to get back
19:11
up. I fell down the stairs, got back up. I thought someone
19:15
broke because I needed some money. I ain't gonna huh like I did it
19:18
all. I bet down the stairs. I doesn't roll the hoverballs. I
19:21
don't stop, bro. I didn't have a ball to bust my eyes.
19:25
I can spit me, bro, Bro, how is he doing aboard dirt
19:30
bike? Bro? Oh shit? I live life to the fullest as you
19:34
should. Like. I played basketball with my son, just me and my
19:37
song. Wow. So it's like, I'm gonna let this disability and I'm
19:41
in the clubs buying bottles, like having fun, enjoying life while you only
19:45
got what they said, you got one life. I'm on my second life,
19:48
right, I'm on my Yeah. So it's like I gotta live life.
19:52
You gotta experience new things. I heard this quote not too long ago.
19:55
It said every men have two lives, and the second one starts when
20:03
he realizes he only has one. That's real. That was live a life
20:08
like he was no tomorrow, bro, we didn't think about it tomorrow.
20:14
It was just what let's have a blast about today. I didn't think about
20:18
tomorrow. Yeah, I think about next week. I think about because I
20:22
gotta sign them. I got to leave him something behind. Is it weird
20:26
when you talk to other people and you try to tell them that, No,
20:30
it's not because I find it like like what you mean about like like
20:33
I find it hard for them to relate to to when I tell them what
20:37
you go through and stuff. No about the fact that life is extremely short.
20:41
And he could just go like, you don't know nothing about life,
20:48
so you should just live it. But understand that people don't get that the
20:52
time is running out. Yeah, people don't get that you're not dying to
20:56
you're not living to, like you're not really die in to live. You
21:00
live in and die exactly. And we can't blame them because we didn't get
21:03
that. Eight. I got it as Tom started going by, I started
21:07
looking at life different, Like I appreciate more things than like going to school.
21:12
I went to high school, I went to jail, I went to
21:15
college. I was just going just to waiting for the MT to call me
21:18
back. I'm just wasting time, and then somebody else could have been sitting
21:21
in that seat. Now I appreciate it because now I'm in front of my
21:23
computer listening to different seminars, stuff that I didn't cherish. I cherished man.
21:30
Yeah, so it's like it's a wake up call. And that's why
21:34
I got this podcast to spread it out to people, to help them so
21:37
they won't have to be in this seat with me or being that bad fighting
21:41
for your life trying to figure it out exactly. What would you say?
21:45

22:56

22:59

23:07

23:15

23:19
my own boss. Yeah yeah, I got two l lcs bro working on
23:22
my third one. I don't want to work for nobody. I went to
23:27
this a little program. Was not maybe all blind, but none of them
23:32
can't relate to me. You was born like this, you never seen a
23:33
color in your life, like you sixty years old, you just lost your
23:38
sight. Not saying that, but you really live life. Twenty one,
23:42
my life got slashed and then y'all got medical problems, got beat these high
23:47
pressure though like maybe I could have controlled it, I got snapped, got
23:51
slashed away. So I'm going to take a lot for graining. Yeah,
23:53
I'm like, yo, y'all, I can't relate to y'all because y'all laughing
23:56
and joking. It's nothing to laugh about with this. But then I see
24:00
people like, yo, you need all of these learn how to type all
24:03
this this out of the third outside. So while you still here looking for
24:06
a job there. He's like, yeah, when I walk in the building,
24:10
they're taking the one that could see first. I got up this class,
24:12
say for me that what did I do for me? It's real,
24:17
They're like, he said, he went on an interview with somebody that can
24:19
see. They picked the person that I can see, They said, because
24:22
what if it's a fire in the building, we gotta wear about getting you
24:25
out. M M. I'm gonna sit back and settle for that. Oh
24:30
no, I stop all parties, you know. That's that's what that's crazy.
24:33
I never thought that social security is nothing. Oh yeah, So I'm
24:37
gonna sitting right away for this government give me money once a month when I
24:41
could do parties three or four times a weekend, collect big time. Ye
24:45
may crazy, man, what I'm my own boss, bro man, I'm
24:51
very curious. Want I do want to go to one of your parties.
24:53
When I get home, I'm gonna get the permission slips signed. All right,
24:57
let me know say it over because yeah, I think that would be
25:03
really dope. And because I'm I'm thinking about doing some um some events for
25:11
impute s, so putting those um I feel like merging those two communities together
25:15
be the face of it. Yeah, a lot of people don't understand what
25:18
you go through. So you could teach them, like they look at you
25:22
would be like damn, but they really don't understand what you're going through.
25:26
Like, tell them get on your knees, don't try to use your need
25:29
to get across that floor. Let's see how they manov bro everybody real,
25:33
everybody had a lot to say. Oh this down the third I told them,
25:37
close you eyes and walk through the house. Let me see if you
25:38
were doing. People was crying before they got to the Yeah, so stop
25:42
comparing your life to my heart to mind? Yo, what you know what?
25:45
I find so funny about that? And I get it because human beings
25:51
we just creatures of just relations and we want to be relatable. Whenever I'm
25:56
sitting, whenever I meet somebody, they find something to match or that they
26:04
think would match the situation. So on my way overhead my my driver,
26:11
he was talking about, you know, I just got out of surgery too.
26:15
I was like, yeah, what was the surgery? I just got
26:18
something to move out of my eye, like dog, I ain't got no
26:21
legs, Like that's that I can be completed. But I get it though,
26:26
because you try to make me feel comfortable. Get it. Don't make
26:29
me comfortable to yourself, I'm comfortable. Yeah. I hate when when people
26:34
do things like that and it's like, what are you doing? Yeah,
26:37
they don't get we are regular people. We is nothing different you feeling outside?
26:41
They don't say normal vision because legs nothing like that. Like we both
26:49
were both disabled. I can't relate to how you feelings because I could run,
26:53
I could do different things, just like you can't relate because you can
26:56
see you going around. So it's a it's a big difference, like people
27:00
like, hey, you blind. Don't you put the work with a stick?
27:03
You walk with a stick. Don't you don't tell me how to live
27:07
my life. Oh, we're your stick at it? Don't go don't alie
27:10
with my clothes? Is it harder to wait a minute? Don't align with
27:17
my clothes, bro, I'm just saying I went all blue, the stick
27:19
is red, and where's I'm going? Real talk? I don't aloe whether
27:26
I felt like knee holding that stick makes me feel like I'm disabled. I'm
27:29
not disabled, bro, I feel like I'm not disabled when when when I
27:33
first lost This is obviously not gonna be nowhere near what you go through because
27:38
you know you can't see it. But when I first lost my m my
27:44
legs, you know, they give you a stick to walk with, a
27:48
cane a stick? Uh no, no, no, they give you a
27:53
no no, they give you a cane. Right, they give you a
27:56
cane to walk with. Um to I guess for support, dude, it
28:03
probably I probably used it my first ten steps, I said, I can't
28:11
do it. I'd rather a fall ten times and learn how to do it
28:15
without without the cane, then to do it with the cane. And it's
28:19
not even a pride thing with me. The cane was it was um.
28:23
It gave me something else to focus on, and it just didn't go.
28:30
It gave me more work to do. I needed to just walk. I
28:34
don't need to walk and worry about where I'm placing this thing. Yeah,
28:38
So what was it about the stick that you didn't like? Besides it?
28:44
Besides with your I felt like when I had that stick, it was all
28:48
eyes on me. Then it's like when you got that stick, they try
28:52
to change you. Oh, don't wear this, don't wear that, you're
28:55
target Wait what oh take your airpids out? Wait? Wait huh yeah,
29:00
yeah, Oh switch your phone. Oh you're just expensive. That's a target.
29:04
If it's like that, man, take your stick. I'd rather walk
29:07
with one of my dogs. Then like like we ain't doing that. Then
29:10
it's like my phobia. I'm scared of doodle bro. I'm scared of step
29:12
of doodlem that stick ain't stopping that. It's raccoons there before you do,
29:21
I can't. I take my chance. I just hold on to people when
29:22
I wall. You'll never know I'm blind because it's like we walking, we
29:26
laugh, I out my hand around you, raccolar. It's like we just
29:29
be making with each other. Nobody never know, like, oh you blind.
29:33
I've been rock away people for so long and they just like, wait
29:36
you blind, bro? I said, where you've been at? They're like,
29:38
I just just drunk. I'm like wait what Yeah, because when you
29:41
first hit me up, I had to like read what was going on on
29:45
your page for me to really get what was happening. Hein' blind, mad
29:52
Fly, mad smooth, mad chill Blind. Nick is taken over to the
29:57
I see I'm just saying shout up from the the podcast, they said it
30:00
blinding is so small. Look at Ray Charles Stevie Wonder the facts Ray Charles
30:04
and Stevie Wond and ask men were taking over. Yeah, but now we're
30:11
gonna transition to the next sevements. The segment be about the transition to is
30:15
the blind? But now I see moment, a moment where you thought you
30:21
was blind, you an't a dog, but then that that light, that
30:23
sun came and Shane, don't you that you looked at It could be any
30:26
situation. Letter Let's talk about this gun because you keep talking about you getting
30:32
shot. Let's talk about that that blind. We're gonna make that the blind.
30:34
But now I see moment which one you getting shot? Oh, that
30:41
moment that I thought that probably was a situation that put me through it said,
30:45
yeah, because in at that specific time in my life when that happened,
30:53
howld you I was, Um, she show like twenty probably twenty five,
31:00
No, No, I'm lying, maybe twenty three. Yeah, probably
31:04
twenty three, like early twenties, twenty twenty two, twenty three. Um,
31:11
But I was in transition from what I knew as a regular life in
31:18
this new life that I was trying to live, as far as it's going
31:22
to school, get my education, and you know, trying to focus on
31:26
new businesses and stuff like that. Um. So I was really trying to
31:30
do something totally different, something that I didn't know at all from what what
31:34
um what I grew up knowing. And too when that happened, it was
31:42
it was a question of was it meant for you to do this? Yeah?
31:48
What did you get shot up? I got shot in Flatbush. I'm
31:51
saying your body, Oh I got Oh, it doesn't matter anymore because I
31:53
got shot in the knee, so it's not going But yeah, I got
32:00
shot in the right knee. Um. And But the reason, the reason
32:06
why it was adult for me is because I was really trying to change my
32:08
life during that time and then being being put in a situation where now you
32:13
have to sit down for like eleven months. I think it was. It
32:16
was like ten or eleven months. That's how long it took you down.
32:21
Yeah. No, No, when I got shot, I'm saying, that's
32:22
how long it took you down? Though. Yeah, it was supposed to
32:24
be. It was the doctor to say it was supposed to be like two
32:29
three years. But after the first was it like the first two two three
32:35
weeks of sitting down? I couldn't do it no more. Bro, They
32:38
told me not to put pressure on the leg. Man, I just went.
32:44
I sent my holdie to the to the to the store for me to
32:47
the pharmacy. Let me get two crutches, got me two crutches, and
32:52
I just started walking on the knee, just not putting too much pressure on
32:54
it. And that was the first time where I took I grabbed the bulls
33:00
bottle horn and you know, consciously before it was always just just you gotta
33:07
survive, so this is what you gotta do. But for me, that
33:09
was the first time where I sat there and I planned, and I said,
33:13
look, you could even sit here on this couch or and listen to
33:16
these doctors, but you know your body. Can you walk, can you
33:22
get up, can you stand? Can you do anything on that leg?
33:24
And within a month I was up and down. I lived on the fourth
33:30
floor. Bro, I was up and down in that building, going inside
33:36
my house like it was nothing. And I live on the fourth floor.
33:37
Now, imagine a doctor telling you you're not going to be able to walk
33:42
for like a year and some change or longer, and you end up and
33:46
you get it done. Not to say doctors are wrong, because we do
33:50
need doctors. Yeah, facts right, what I'm saying. So that was
33:58
the first time that I came from a dark place that I pulled myself out
34:04
of. But I ain't like you know, we're busting my head right now.
34:08
A doctor telling you you can't walk from ten eleven months, right or
34:14
two or three years to you not being able to walk with your own legs,
34:17
how is that? Bro? Bro? The doctor was right, but
34:22
like that, but you say they practiced, so he was just ahead of
34:27
the prediction. That's all that. He was just ahead of moment when you
34:34
don't have no legs. Mm hmm. Yeah, you're strong, but backwards
34:40
but strong. Bro. Bro, it's crazy because you you like Dan,
34:47
I just got the knee back. You know, figure losing your legs would
34:51
have been like your dog, because I like losing a vision is no joke?
34:55
Yeah, no, Joe, that shot three times twice to that one
34:58
of the shoulder sh different on that floor. Thought it was over, bro,
35:04
I'm sorry. You got shot twice in my head, twice in the
35:07
head, came out on other side. I got hit in the back of
35:09
my head, I got hit my arm blow the guy over. I thought
35:15
it was over. Wow, But I could see. I was getting up
35:17
trying to get in the car. I fell. I counted my money,
35:20
I still got my money and putting in my pocket, put my phone in
35:22
my pocket. And then it's like for that moment, it's like all the
35:27
weight was lifted off my shoulders. I just laid on the floor and closed
35:30
my eyes. Yeah, it was over, Like I like, what else
35:34
can I do? Yefore I know it. The ambulance got me. They're
35:38
like, oh, we're taking to Brookdale and my mom, I'm dad brook
35:44
Down. They went in my pocket A county. They were like, he's
35:50
an MT. He's an MT. He's the back of it. Were taking
35:52
him to King's County, so I got a better chance to live. But
35:57
just getting out the back of the ambulance and seeing just I have a white
36:00
shirts waiting for me, white jackets waiting for me, It's like if I
36:02
wasn't an e MT, I would have been gone because like you just took
36:07
you just taking Now that you see I'm one of y'all. Y'are taking me
36:10
to King's County. It's like, I feel like that would save my life.
36:15
People ask me if I can see today where I go back to MT.
36:19
I want. I feel like this, what I'm doing now is way
36:22
more bigger than that. I'm traveling. I'm talking to people like people cry.
36:27
It's like it's something different. I feel like you, like your spirit,
36:30
like your energy, you can really touch a lot of people, and
36:32
I feel like you should do that. Use your Instagram platform to reach out
36:37
to the world. You'll be surprised. But you again coming back because it's
36:40
two years and you still smiling. I was not smalling two years into my
36:45
injury. People are yo, you don't small no more. What is it
36:49
the smell about. I'm in a dog. I wake up in the dock,
36:52
I go to see. Especially when you have dreams and you can see
36:54
in your dreams, you wake up that shit piss you off and you're like,
36:58
yo, you start throwing pillows and all that. Oh you know what.
37:02
We never I've never had that conversation. You could dream and see in
37:08
your dream, but that must be Yeah, it's like it's teasing you.
37:15
It's like taking a stake, yea making a dog chase. You know that
37:17
this dog ain't gonna get that steak. After while, when you stop,
37:22
like where me and abody and everything else? It's like life goes on like
37:25
it much better. Like I'll say, you got a lady, how was
37:30
the like your love life after your injury, because Mars is like it was
37:35
like I had it. But then after a while people start looking at you
37:37
like your charity case. And then like you treat me like a charity case,
37:40
not going about your business. Yeah, I think with me, what
37:45
made that? Uh when that happened, I let it be known straight up
37:52
right there, and then I'm good. I'm not no charity case. They've
37:58
they've tried it. My lady, you know, she's a tough cookie.
38:02
My lady was like, excuse me, my lady was. My lady told
38:07
me the only thing I needed was for you to open your eyes. From
38:13
the second you open your eyes anything, nothing else mattered. She never looked
38:16
at me different. She never she never made me feel different. Um yeah,
38:24
if anything, if anything, she probably challenged me more more now than
38:31
before, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, she challenged me more
38:36
now than before. If I'd be like, baby, can you give me
38:37
this, like you can do it, you know, like get up and
38:40
use them blacks, bro, good women in my life. But it's just
38:44
like living that lifestyle, trying to maintain like a lot of my relationships went
38:50
sour. It's because I still try to live the lifestyle I once live being
38:54
in a dog and it didn't work. M hm. So it's like we're
39:00
going to the club. You got all the women, you want to be
39:01
a random women this then the third time change you got to adapt to it.
39:07
The lickers down now yeah yeah, don't get me wrong. Now it's
39:09
like, go to the club, let's see No, yeah, they want
39:13
to be in a section with all that. Just then the third but it's
39:15
like I'm broke, baby, I ain't got it. I'm straight. Yeah,
39:19
oh I'm gonna put your scene. No, hurry up there and broke
39:21
beaus we ain't getting nobody ever, like we know, we ain't doing that.
39:25
So it's like it wasn't like you still with your same lady from before.
39:29
Yeah that's a blessing. Yeah, that's really a blessing. Yeah,
39:32
from from before. It was she was actually one of the people that I
39:37
mentioned in the in the video right before I passed, because and I only
39:42
brought I only brought that up to say she's solid. No, I mean,
39:45
and I knew that she was sid well before excuse me, Lloyd,
39:50
Before I thought I was going to pass, and I only brought that up
39:54
to say that she's solid. And I knew that she was solid prior to
39:58
the situation, you know what I'm saying, and and her her reaction after
40:05
just just confirm her solidity. What's the word. Yeah, she's definitely solid.
40:13
Yeah yeah, nah, not yet, but I proposed um. I
40:16
proposed December last Yeah, that's yeah. I just want to I want to
40:22
get married for the reception before what for the reception reception? I want to
40:25
dance with my mother. I want to be answer with my mother two boys,
40:30
you know. Yeah, I don't want to get married before. That's
40:32
the party part, the best part. I'm looking forward to the dancing.
40:36
I want to see how that's gonna fail, you believe it or not.
40:38
That's something I still haven't tried. Dance, yea dancing youna be on the
40:43
house playing with TikTok nah. But I'll be chilling, man, I can't.
40:45
I don't know what I'm doing about because I was never much of a
40:47
dancer before. But I want to do it now just to see, because
40:51
yeah, I was never a dancing evil. The only thing I know I
40:54
do it just dance on girls. Other than that, I really have fun
40:58
in the club. Man, I have fun in the I was like,
41:00
I want to like the bed. You gotta live it. Man, I'm
41:01
probably gonna take a high class, but trt to class or something. I
41:07
ain't. I mean, I'm doing TikTok dances and nah, but yeah,
41:13
you very I take my hat off to you. You give motivation to people
41:19
because like two years and you ain't it. Don't be times that you just
41:22
the dark come over you, like that dark cloud over your head. Oh
41:25
yeah, you feel that, you feel that, you feel like the days
41:29
you just don't want to get about the Yeah, you feel that. The
41:32
thing with me is, um, I allow myself to feel every emotion.
41:37
Anybody, my family, everybody in my life will tell you. First of
41:39
all, I'm in this extremely emotional person. I'm emotional. I don't hold
41:46
it, I don't hide it. I let it be known if I'm feeling
41:50
some type of way, because if I don't, it's going to convert into
41:53
something else, way uglier. So therefore I tried. I tried to allow
41:59
myself to feel every emotion. And when, um, when when it really
42:07
gets tough, stay in bro. It's Okay, you don't have to be
42:12
you don't have to feel good every day. You know what I'm saying as
42:15
I'm speaking to you, bro, this's my first time coming outside of my
42:17
house to like five days because I just didn't feel like it, you know
42:22
what I'm saying. Like the thing about it is allow yourself to feel comfortable.
42:27
And comfortable means even if you feel bad right now, feel bad.
42:31
What you're suching a rush to feel good for sit in it, think about
42:36
it, feel it, because then what's gonna happen is if you don't feel
42:38
it, then you leave the room and you step outside to the living room
42:42
where your lady is or where your son is or where your mother is.
42:45
Now they're gonna have to deal with that. You know what I'm saying.
42:47
You're either gonna if they love you, they're gonna have to deal with it
42:51
because they're gonna see it in your face like, oh what's warm baby,
42:52
you're not feeling good today? Or what I'm saying, Oh, you just
42:58
go out there and you try to patrol, You try to put you out
43:01
on them. And what I'm saying, I got just thinking I'm going through
43:05
it. I try to put a whole different pison. I go on there,
43:08
I try to crack jokes, I try to laugh, but really I'm
43:10
in pain, right, But I don't let nobody else show. But if
43:14
if I'm mad, trust relate the dumbest question. I just looked at him
43:16
like what and they know trust me, like they can tell you. I'll
43:22
be on I'll be on a ten if it's something just don't make sense to
43:24
me, Like come on, bro, like what are you doing? But
43:29
sometimes you gotta just tell people. Yo, listen. I'm feeling like this
43:31
today. None like the world won another like I ain't like you're an open
43:36
book looking to that book. I plan on sharing some things with the world,
43:42
not too much. Though I was closed in I didn't want to help
43:46
nobody, and manute I started opening up and helping people. Oh no,
43:51
no, that's a fact, I think, and I think that's that that
43:53
that's one of the most important things in life period. Because I'm from Haiti,
44:00
right and exactly so um where I'm from. We our culture is his
44:07
family. If you're in a neighborhood, you could literally just cross the street
44:12
like they will cross the street going to each other's house. Is like I
44:15
mean it's not like that no more because there's a lot of crime in the
44:17
world. But when I was younger, that's how it was. So I
44:21
was brought up in that type of environment where his family oriented. You know,
44:28
So I do agree. I agree. Always help people, especially um,
44:35
especially when you in a position to do so. You know, what
44:39
would you tell somebody that's going through what you're going through to the like today,
44:47
Well, it depends on they they lost their legs and now ain't going
44:52
through getting what's the proper word for you, Oh my prosthetic knee. It's
44:59
the knee. Every day the prosthetic needs. Um. Well, it depends
45:05
if if you're if the problem is, are you worried about it? If
45:10
you're gonna be okay, You're gonna be okay. You know what I'm saying
45:15
when Sue, when Sue Hill, you're gonna be okay, or you're gonna
45:17
be a walker, or you're gonna be able to walk like a lot of
45:23
the people that I A lot of the walkers that I know, a lot
45:25
of the people who motivate me. That's on you though you can, but
45:31
are you gonna do it? What I would tell them? Know who you
45:37
are and attack accordingly. What I mean by that is me. I know
45:44
who I am, so I attack accordingly. I know that if you give
45:46
me these needs, I'm gonna go and practice every day until I get it
45:52
right. I know that's me, so I'm going to do that. I'm
45:55
going to attack accordingly. But if you know, oh, you're not about
46:00
to practice. You're not about to lose those knees. Get some shorter k
46:04
needs, practice with those, wait for these needs, because you're gonna be
46:09
setting yourself back if you If you decide to go full full length with the
46:15
knees and think it's gonna be easy, you're gonna put yourself back. The
46:21
only thing I would say, bro, is know who you are. Attack
46:23
accordingly with your plan. Know who you are, make a plan according to
46:28
that personality, and attack that plan. Don't try to look at what other
46:31
people doing and then say, oh, well, rangers walking after two years.
46:35
I'm gonna do it. The people told me it was gonna take me
46:37
four years to walk, So you know what I'm saying, And Bro,
46:43
it could take four years. I'm not even gonna cat This is the hardest
46:46
thing I ever had to do in my entire life. It's extremely hard.
46:52
There's really no words of motivation that I can't give because I don't believe in
46:57
those type of words. Where will if you go where you know the work
47:00
is hard, or you're gonna do it. If you're gonna do it,
47:04
you're gonna get the results. If you're not gonna get if you're not gonna
47:07
do it, you're not gonna get the results. It's just that simple.
47:10
That's motivation. The words though, I just speak, Oh okay, definitely.
47:17
So what you got going on next? Like what's next for rangel Um.
47:23
We'll see, Yeah, well we'll leave it up. We'll leave it
47:28
up to the higher power. We're working on some things and we're hoping to
47:30
see them through. But my my biggest goal is to bridge um the communities
47:37
together because I do believe that that there's a lot of help that we can
47:42
get from each other that we don't get from UM, from from the professionals
47:49
in the in the industry, because whatever reasons, you know, I don't
47:52
want to get into political reasons, but that's that's literally my main Yeah,
47:59
so whatever's coming next is going to be for the community, yes, but
48:04
we gotta started for ourselves that we can't have anybody else to do it.
48:06
Like, that's the thing. We are the voice of the disabled. Yeah,
48:09
like I shared the title with y'all. Yeah, you know, I
48:12
was the voice of the disablers. But I shaver with y'all. Now you
48:15

48:37
that out the because nobody can't duplicate how he failed. Nobody can't. You
48:42
could try to switch it up. But he's really living with a visually a
48:45
paying father. Right one time I had it. I'm like, yo,
48:50

50:07
thing somebody asked me about that. There was a they wanted me to go

If somebody hired me to speak, it becomes a job, it is,
50:32
and I do the work that I do, that type of work for
50:38
free, Like I don't want to be paid to to speak about how I
50:43
feel to people. I don't know. It's it's something that I'm working on.
50:46
And I one question you like, I do you get a gas bell?

I do phone? I do? Yeah? Yeah, right, that's
50:57
a fact. That is a fact free. I gotta work on that.
51:00
I do be um, I really do, because there's gonna be somebody that
51:05
jump and gets spotted and do it for you and get the money that you
51:07
should be getting. Yeah, and now for now you don't even look at
51:09
it like the money. Look at it. You could be saving somebody that's
51:13
in the crowd, and that's the goal. But the money come through the

back end. Though I ain't going to hold you try to be a broke
