"It's 420 Somewhere!"
It has been my experience in this world that people are true to their nature. You can share or show them all of the evidence you want but at the end of the day they will simply revert back to what they once were.
I’ve learned that you just have to love people enough to just let theme be who they are and leave the rest behind.
There is a life we learn with and a life we live with. ~ Mitch Santell
PS Be Kind To You Today and remember to enjoy the small moments.
It is out of respect for older artists that I am willing to let them be who they are now.
No, Joni Mitchell will never be who she once was. The times she lived in will never return again.
Our youth will never return again.
All we can do is appreciate these artists for who they once were.
Back in the 1970’s, there was no digital, there was only Analog and most of it was 2 Inch reel to reel tape at 30 Inches Per Second.

It is good to live an authentic life. What is an authentic life? For me it means that I’m willing to seek the truth no matter where it takes me and I’m willing to tell the truth to another when it’s appropriate.
The biggest lesson of all?
Well, it was Jeff Bezos, who stated it recently in an interview:
If there was ever a time to live in truth it’s now.
Here is the challenge you face and we all face:
“Most people don’t want to know the truth.” ~ Jeff Bezos 2023.
Jack Canfield, who wrote the book “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and was very successful in the seminar business before he became a world class writer said to me, “Mitch, Tell The Truth Sooner!”
Well, guess what?
You either tell the truth sooner because the person you are talking to you love unconditionally or you are willing to tell the truth because you never want to hear from that person again.
This is the great divide in 2024.
My point of view?
1). The glass is always half full. (Avoid half full glass people).
2). There is a life we learn with and a life we live with. (Talking about your past proves nothing. Why? We are not living in that time anymore and the “cast of characters” that were in your life are Dead, Buried, and Gone.
3). As Les Brown (a great motivational speaker always says): “80% Don’t Care and 20% are glad it’s you!”

I am Awake, I am Not Woke
If you are serious about being an artist regardless if it’s in music, film, writing, painting or any other form, you are basically going to have to go it alone.
Why did I just write that?
Answer: You can’t build your own team until you have a clear understanding of what you’re creating.
There is a life we learn with and a life we live with.
The #1 Lesson I’ve learned along the way is that envy and jealousy from others around you will kill whatever project you are working on before it gets out of the gate.
How do you handle this?
Answer: It’s always better to tell them what you’ve done, not what you are going to do.
You are going to have to live as a social recluse because my observation of most of the people in the entertainment game is that they are online all the time but at the end of the day getting really little done.
Over the past two years I’ve been a very torn man I witnessed, watched and heard so many strange things out of the media, from Family and Friends. From former business partners.
Too hip, can’t talk, gotta go. That was the old Hollywood.
The New Hollywood? The truth is there is no new Hollywood and if you are sitting in front of the latest M1 or M2 Mac or a super fast gaming laptop, you basically now in charge of your own studio. Wake up, the software is all available.
In the grand scheme of things, the past two years over Covid may have been the best two years of my life. Why? First, I didn’t have to take meetings with people that I really have no interest in. Second, I was able to discern how other people think simply by by finding out what they thought of Covid, the Covid Shot, as well as how it affected their social life.
What’s it all about Alfie? Is this real, or is this Memorex? Since Covid my life has become a messenger app. Oh yes, if you are like me and you may be, you have Skype, Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, Line, Google Hangouts, Twitch, Discord, or even Rumble.
That’s your new life. It won’t go back to the way it was because we are now in a culture that is 100% Divided. You can’t tell me it’s not, I’ve just had seen too much craziness over the past two years.
As I always say there is a “Life we learn with and a life we live with.” What do I wish? I wish for you what you wish for yourself.
It’s all good, it will all work out, and who knows, maybe you’ll be a better version of yourself in the end.
Me? I knew who I was at 15 years of age. Most people? They never figure out who they are.
All of us want to know:
Who am I?
Why am I here?
If you can figure out who you are and why you are here you are 90% ahead of everyone else!
After the Covid lockdowns started, I noticed something really strange.
Do you know what it is? I noticed that my life became a messenger application. It did not matter if I was on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, there was no real human interaction. A lot of the time it felt more like I was responding to an A.i. (Artificial Intelligence Application).
The only thing you have to do is remember that all of these text applications are basically a “dopamine rush.” If I need a dopamine rush, I think I’ll make myself a French Press Coffee.
Make it a wonderful day and as I always say, “You can’t take any of this stuff too seriously.” If you really want to know what is really happening, look around you. Why? You are watching humanity de-evolving in real time.
This blog is written for humans. If you don’t think you are a human anymore then don’t read these posts. LOL.
Why Is My Life Now A Messenger Application?
Each day I want to avoid Vaxidents. What is that? It is a person who is on their 4th or 5th booster shot and don’t drive right.
Here are some things that I am noticing:
1). People who are jabbed have a hard time staying in their lane. They drift into your lane.
2). Notice at an intersection, the driver never goes up to the line. They are 1, 2, or 3 car lengths behind the line. (Be careful, they may go into your lane).
3). The driver will drive 5 or 10 miles an hour below the speed limit. At first I thought these people were stoned or medicated, nope it was the jab.
4). Driving through red lights without slowing down.
5). Are unaware that they are not driving correctly.
The most common statement that I hear so many people say is: “I don’t know what to believe any more.” It makes sense to me that people feel that way.
America as we all know is in huge transition. We can either see America’s best days ahead of us or we can see America as only Empire and gasping for it’s last breath.
When I see horse manure I know there is a pony nearby.
Right now I see great opportunity for America because while we have not been a Constitutional Republic since 1871, our DNA is totally different than Europe.
As Americans, there is only one way that we can move forward.
Do you know what it is?
Answer: We got this!
We are all exactly where we are supposed to be. So make yourself a French Press, Pour Yourself a Cold One, or just Smoke Out.
Why?
Answer: It is what it is. Systems will fall and as Americans we won’t fall because we have an original DNA that is different than Mother England.
Live in faith.
Be Here Now.
Love Is The Answer.
Let’s not go to war okay?
