Article MONBO 2 Year Absence Update & Future:
What the fuck is up and happening everyone?
If you guessed properly, you’ll know who’s back; Tommy, and JUST Tommy… “Tommy Xans” has died…and I will address that later…. but
I’m back in MONBO Action MONBO Family, and the day ones know who they are. I have so much planned, so much to discuss, and so much to apologize for.
First off Where have I been? I’ve been in a much needed unannounced absence due to Mental health struggles and more personal bullshit I won’t get into. I’ll get into all of that later. The important thing is that I’m back, and ready more than ever to revitalize MaxinoutNBlackinout LLC and bring it back to life. Many new drastic changes will occur. All former affiliates, ambassadors or sponsors no longer hold title-ship to such a term. I’m starting from scratch essentially; but have a ton of new ideas and amazing things to come. So here goes with the announcements. SNEAKERS ARE COMING! Merchandise will be relaunched and revamped! Personal training via NSCA Coaching or weight loss programs are now available via a trainer, and soon even MONBO TRADING CARDS! Tons of new BLOGS and writing information to come as well. I plan to continue my path as an Amazon Published offer as well, oh and by the way, during the midst of my break I managed to become an eBay Top seller, had slip ups, got clean again, have been investing heavily, studying history, working for my family, trying to get back to powerlifting, and lost 72 lbs after an uncontrollable weight gain due to medication that also caused Edema in my legs BUT lets save some of that for later…. Because its al lot… for NOW lets focus RIGHT NOW (Great song by SR-71 the Band by the way) on an article/blog I have prepared as an introductory post in order to

Why I like Legos
Today I wanted to talk about LEGO. I’ve loved them since I was a kid, going to Legoland and shit, submitting my lego custom Skelton castle to the magazine, always building… it was a massive part of my childhood and as. I aged I fell back in love with them for numerous reasons and I want to explain why because it way more subliminal and deeper than one would think, and financial, as I’ll state that LEGO’s are fist off, amazing, but are solid long-term financial investments as they yield 10% higher annual net return than GOLD according to a NY Post article I read. So LEGO isn’t available on the DOW JONES, NASDAQ, or THE NYSE, so it’s a physical asset that you invest in but you need to find the right sets. You can even dime out individual Lego Figurines, such as Darth Vader STAR WARS LEGO MAN or loose sell parts online even But asides from generating commerce for me, LEGO’s helped me remind myself of something important. Just because it’s a kid’s game doesn’t mean that I can’t build them; building helps me calm down and focus on the moment and it’s a great coping technique for me personally. I get to slow down and focus on that or those moment(s) alone. Nothing else. Just me and my LEGOS. It’s about taking your time, building slowly, carefully, properly, and that parallels to MONBO in a sense because life is about development and taking your time to improve everyday in the proper manner. Don’t let people rush you. Grow into the amazing human being that you are and flourish. Just like building lego sets; you start from nothing and finish with a beautiful toy that you took your effort and applied to make it beautiful. It’s about taking things slow; we all know the famous Ferris Bueller quote! IF we don’t stop and look around in life then we might miss something (not verbatim via Ferris). LEGOS reminded me to take things slow and to find the beauty within the subliminal messages that you come across daily and that you need to find, when reading in-between the lines or when you expand your mind and think deeper than black and white (think grey) then you will start to see the everlasting beauty within the small things in life. Take a breath, look around, relax. Things do get better. But you have to appreciate every single little thing in life that strikes a chord of happiness within because life’s too short to miss or ignore or not appreciate the little things. When you focus on the little things you’ll realize life is beautiful, and always remember when looking not to judge a book by its cover or finish looking at the tip of the iceberg rather than looking at the bottom. The founder of the Olympic Games said, “The important thing in life is the struggle, not the triumph,” which is a beautiful quote and so true and relatable. LEGOS can be difficult to build but overall in the end it isn’t necessary to only focus on the triumph of creating the set because its about the little things; the time and care and effort that you put into building the set. The struggle of finding all the right pieces. That’s what’s important. Slowing down during the struggle so you can appreciate your efforts when success comes at last. If you could’t get the gist of the blog by now, well, then let me just say I’m using my Lego’s as an analogy to re-building my life and anyones lives in general. Star slow, but remain dedicated. Focus on the little things, don’t miss any opportunity for joy or beauty, pay attention to the finite details within things because some things in life have a deeper value than any amount of money could hold. Pay attention to the positive things, give yourself some grace, remind yourself it’s okay to make mistakes as long as you get back on the ride and grind away to become better. Focus on the small things when re-building something that’s been lost. It’s about what’s below the iceberg that matters. Be gentle and kind, take one things at a time, take things seriously but slow, and one day you’ll realize and know, thats “it’s all good baby, baby,” to quote The Notorious B.I.G, may he rest in heaven. One day you’re gonna look around and realize everything is okay. One day may be a long time from now but in the meanwhile, you gotta just keep grinding and you gotta focus on the small things in life first, and then one day, life will change for the better and we just gotta take a negative answer and turn it into a positive; on some Juice World 999 shit, or MLK Jr, or again, my man Big, because one days its all donny be all good “baby, baby.”… (*Cue Biggies song “Juicy”). You know, the thing is, I have’t found my “One Day,” yet; I’m not healed or okay completely but THAT’S OK because I’m Working on it every single day. The thing is with LEGO; most worthwhile investment worthy sets are expensive; but regardless, if intrigued by the financial or emotional support I have gained from LEGO, I’d invest in all sets because financially there would be a potential good net annual return but more importantly LIFE is about taking steps and growing into the human being you ultimately become. I’m not there yet, but I’ve invested in small sets and large sets; sets of LEGO and sets of LIFE meaning GOALS. Build for smaller sets, take it one step at a time and prioritize necessity and need over want and desire. Take it slow, just like you would when building a LEGO, be careful, be kind and delicate, progress positively, be king to yourself, and eventually you’ll finish one set; one goal. And then its onto the next, and so on and so forth. Like my Uncle Gary taught me, LEGOS reminded me; Slow down, work hard, love harder, be yourself, build beauty from ruin, channel darkness into light, and never let the passions of childhood vanish because life’s too short to give up on dreams. “So here I am, send me”,(Isaiah 6:8); I’m back. MONBO is BACK AND HERE TO STAY. To all the readers never give up on your dreams, and take things slowly. One day, it will be okay, but for now we fight together, love one another, and appreciate each other and the small things in life, like a single LEGO man. Life’s too short to not be yourself. But it’s never too late to try to take the next step to build that LEGO set, accomplish your goals, and smile.
