I have been making a list of things goals in lfe that I want to accomplish in my life as well as places that I would like to go. Life is to short and we should do everythingf we can to live our dreams no matter how old or how old we are, and no matter what obstacles are put in our way. I have my own list that I want to share, I will be working as hard as I can to check some of these of soon.

6 Help young people, who strugle with depression, and substance abuse.
7 Go to VidCon
8 Have a meet up to meet some of my subscribers.

There are probably a bunch of other things I can add to my list that I haven't thaught of yet. My piont is this, do as munch as you can while your here, because if you sit around, life might just pass you bye.
For a bigger part of mylife I've had to wear a seizure helmet. Since 2009 I have baught about five different helmets including the most recent one that I have now. Most of the ones before were foam rubber or leather. The most recent one is a hard shell helmet with a foam rubber liner on the inside with hard shell ear covers.
The reason for the hard shell up grade was because aboutt a month a go I was shopping a Wal-Mart when all of the sudden I passed out on the floor. The next thing I knew was that I was waking up with a manager telling me that I had a seizure. He told me that I had fallen pretty hard, and man did I feel it the next couple of days. The next couple of weeks I was to scared to go anywhere by myself . This is when I decided to try and upgrade to a hard shell helmet. My reasoning was that this would be more durable, and it would make me feel more safe. I will begin to tell you that seizure helmets are not cheap. This particular helmet cost me about $470 thats including the shipping cost. Being someone who works in fast food, this was not easy to come up with the money. On the news I saw stories of how some people were able to get help using croudfunding services. One particularly was GoFundMe, so thats what I did I set up a page and in about a month I was able to get my helmet. I am so thankful that a lot of my friends and family could help me raise the money for my helmet. Now my brain feels a lot safer because of it.
Most of you who come here and read my blog know that I have seizures. The cost of me trying to keep myself healthy and safe can be rather expensive. Well just last week I passed out at Walmart and had a seizure I woke up later and the manager was standing over me and told me not to move and that I had a seizure. Thank God I had my foam rubber helmet on. I did however drift in and out of consciousness. The next day I had extreme headaches.
Now that I'm 40 I find that I have a need to be safer and protect myself fom injury. I have been wanting for some time to have a hard shell helmet, I believe that it is much more durable and will protect my head better than a foam rubber helmmet. I have beenn looking and pricing them out and the one I need with all the options I want the cost is around $470.00 and that includes shipping. I am in desperate need to be safe, I have set up a GoFundMe page for anyone who would like to help me. If I can I will try to keep everyone updated on how much money I have raised.
