it’s good to be
I had this internal scream going on
inside my brain for many years and I’d
like to share it with you want to share
the scream that was going on inside my
head for at least 10 years please just
love and accept me for who I am
please these are just tattoos it’s just
you don’t need to get him to accept me
you don’t have to be tattooed I don’t
care if you are I just want to be loved
and accepted I don’t want all the
for the axion experience my whole life
just because I chose to call her my skin
I’m just as human as you are that’s what
was going on in my head for many years
and sometimes that happens when we walk
down the streets and the sidewalks
around the world I can see the looks on
people’s faces why did he do that to
himself I think when they shake their
heads and disgust
a lot of times even today but the truth
be known today I decided to start off
with a slide on my beard isn’t that
fantastic I think that’s like the
coolest light on the planet
I said I’ll show him a colorful colorful
slide of a close-up of my beard now I
haven’t had this beard for more than two
years it’s about a two-year old beard
and the reason I put the slide of the
beard up there to start off was today
I’m receiving more negative energy from
people around the world because of my
beard more than my tattoos isn’t that
amazing I don’t know what it is about my
beard so I figured I’m gonna keep
growing this thing and see how long I
can grow it to see how many more people
I can irritate
that’s some kind of my new mission
lately it’s irritated that my name is
the scary guy as Amy mentioned earlier
it is my real name but it’s not really a
name because the word was in my name
it’s a title the scary guy the Duke of
Windsor the King of England when you put
vow in front of it it becomes a title so
you know most of my friends and new
people you can all call me scary that’s
what my wife calls me scary every
morning she sees me I get out of bed
says hey you’re scary
nice to see you scary guy I changed my
name legally in a court of law
20 years ago now why would I change my
name to this Gary guy because over 20
years ago ago I had three tattoo shops I
owned three tattoo shops and I had ten
artists working for me in Tucson Arizona
that kind of makes some sense doesn’t it
I was a happy tattoo artist I rode my
Harley Davidson to work every day I went
to work at 11 o’clock in the morning
turning my rock and roll up as loud as I
could
I had a snow-capped Mountain out at the
front window of my tattoo shop with a
palm tree and if you walked in my shop
and you didn’t like or laugh at my jokes
I would tell you where the Sun didn’t
shine I made about a quarter million
dollars a year so I was a pretty happy
kind of guy that’s what I thought I
would do the rest of my life
until one day someone I don’t know and I
never met to this day in a competitive
tattoo business and Tucson he ran a
full-page ad in the newspaper and he
said are you tired of dealing with scary
guys with warpaint facial tattoos and I
read the ad in the paper that day and I
slammed it down on the counter and I
thought to myself why would that guy say
that about me I’m a good guy but I
slammed the pay
we’re down on the table and the first
thought that came to my mind was what am
I gonna do to get him back
you know revenge I thought well I’ll
jump in my hot rod Lincoln find out
where that guy lives door to his house
and run over his dog a flat dog ought to
get him back don’t you think
and I thought nah nah nah no but this is
where my life changed I stepped up on a
pedestal and I declared myself the good
guy and I started bragging and gloating
about how great I was as a human being
when I was bragging and gloating my life
started to flash in front of me and
that’s when I realized who I really was
as a human being for the first forty
three years of my life I was a
name-caller
a hater I could stereotype and
categorize people at will I’m asked my
whole life in sarcasm and humor
I made it all look really cool with that
realization I was motivated out of anger
I jumped down off my pedestal I went
back to my warehouse where I was living
at the time and I told all my friends
I’m packing my bags and they said where
are you going I said I’m gonna travel
the world to help people see each other
differently from the inside out and they
said how are you gonna do that I said I
haven’t got a clue I can tell you one
thing though I think I just wasted 43
years of my life running my mouth call
myself a good guy living a lie well I
can tell you now after travel in the
world for 20 years talking about
eliminating hate violence and Prejudice
the first 43 I had to live to know the
difference so it wasn’t a real waste of
my life it was part of my life but then
I thought to myself is it possible to be
a different human being can i really be
different I lived this way for 43 years
is it possible to change who I am so I
came up with this really weird concept
like okay I’m gonna give myself seven
days to be good seven days of goodness
no more no more name-calling no more
hate no more no more violence no more no
more words coming out of my mouth like
that I don’t and I created this thing
called the seven day seven-night
challenge and I and I want to let you
know that I I created it as seven days
because I wanted to know on the eighth
day I could go back to my old ways just
to make sure it was okay that’s that’s
how I saw it I didn’t want to be stuck
in goodness so I created the seven day
seven day challenge and I want to put
you all on it right now because it was
the beginning of my shift no I’ve been
on the seven day seven I challenge for
twenty years but here it is for seven
days and seven nights don’t say one
negative word about another human on the
planet and for seven days and seven
nights don’t call another person a name
other than their own good luck good luck
to you now if you slip up oh by the way
this applies to you at work this applies
to at home this applies to you with your
partner or your loved one I can see this
young lady’s looking around the room
already this applies to you and your
kids if you’re a teacher at school to
supplies to your classroom the supplies
everywhere you go for the next seven
days and seven nights now most of this
negative behavior and negative energy in
my research I found happen between
people at know one another or live with
one another are associating with one
another rarely do you see a total
stranger walk down the sidewalk or the
pathway yelling out obscenities at
people you just don’t see that if you do
then the police get called so somehow
along the way as human beings we’ve
decided it’s okay to verbally assault
people we know are acquainted with it’s
not something so if you slip up on day
three and you say something derogatory
or sarcastic or you’re in the pub
gentlemen and you call it banter
yep and you do some of this negative
stuff you’re gonna hear it loud and
clear
and I want you to look right into the
eyes of the person that you might have
said something negative to or about even
if you think it’s funny and I want you
to say I’m sorry I said that
you don’t make any excuses don’t blame
anybody you get on with your life now
you didn’t fail no but you got to start
over on day one I want seven in a row
now I have people it started the seven
day seven I challenge eight years ago
and they’re still on it because they
can’t get seven days in a row on the
eighth day I want you to know that you
can go back to your old behavior but
something’s gonna happen I’m not gonna
tell you what it is you can let me know
what you discover about yourself and I’m
on the challenge for twenty years now
but I can tell you right now I still
have some of those really rotten
thoughts they’re still right here you
know they come to the surface every now
and then I see someone that looks a
little different like me I’m different
but I don’t see myself like I see myself
in my own skin it’s okay that’s what I
see but then I see this young lady here
and she’s got a thing over her hair and
she oh yeah that’s right she’s maybe
she’s Moslem and I see a bunch of
Muslims coming down the street or I see
maybe this Christian group over here or
maybe maybe this different color people
on that side and I still have some of
the same thoughts in my mind remember
now I was conditioned for 43 years to
believe all this stuff was do anything
different than me wasn’t okay that’s how
I lived so sometimes those thoughts come
to my mind and i reverse-engineered my
life so now when I hear and I see myself
reacting to those thoughts in my mind I
always ask myself a question okay what’s
really going on inside Amin what does it
call what’s causing me even if you speak
to me with negative I say to myself
what’s go
going on inside of me versus you are a
bad human being that’s a different way
of looking at it
I’ve learned how to process it on an
emotional level I had to teach myself so
I reverse engineered everything because
I wanted to learn how to be more
responsive to people rather than
reactionary and I take these surveys in
these polls everywhere I go I ask kids
these questions I says if I call you a
99.9% of kids from 0 to 25 will
automatically tell me that if I call
them a rotten word it’s above them they
believe whatever they see in here
belongs to them that’s what they’re told
their whole lives now as soon as you hit
26 or 27 this magical thing starts to
happen I ask adults that question as if
I call you were rotten word who is that
about they look at me and they go well
that’s about you you said it they know
that but do you really live your life
like that do you really live it
stress-free or somewhere along the wait
do you take it in does it eat away at
you at work does it eat away those words
and those actions that someone else said
down the way do you carry them around in
your body do they come out in different
ways on your kids they’re just questions
to think about I always think about them
I think about how I’m thinking that’s
what I do so I’m more responsive to
people become aware I become aware that
this isn’t just me that the whole world
is riddled with this kind of stuff the
constant flow of this negative
everybody’s involved in it in some way
I’d like to be able to tell you there’s
the good guys and the bad guys yeah no
there’s good behavior and bad behavior
but I don’t see it like that anymore
I see all people is good first with bad
training there’s a whole different
concept good people first with bad
training so I’m aware of the fact that
we’re all involved in the
answer of this stuff as energy in some
way shape or form every day of our lives
we either produce it and then I used to
produce it and call it was okay it was
justifiable why because you said it to
me first you made me mad it was your
fault you got it well that’s what I used
to do well I’m aware of the fact that I
could be that guy the negative guy or I
could be receiving it or I can watch it
and how many of you watch his stuff go
down all the time how many of you
receive it how many of you produce it
when you receive it live in a
reactionary state I also now know that I
understand that I have the power to
choose which is way different than it
was before
I didn’t have any power I was powerless
in fact every time someone spoke to me I
became what I heard check that out
and I just kind of twist it around in my
own way and then I just throw it right
back at them everybody has the power to
choose it’s all actually actually all
those words and all that those actions
those of us communication that’s all non
verbal and nonverbal c’mon verbal
communication and verbal communications
all energy do you have the power to hear
someone speak and not become the meaning
of what you hear do you well that’s
what’s a seven day silent night
challenge is gonna help you understand
it’s a you heard me say don’t say and
don’t call don’t don’t talk don’t say
anything negative that you think it’s
about closing your mouth and being good
no I want to know what are you doing
with what you’re hearing what are you
doing with what you’re hearing or you
simply taking it on reformatting it and
then regurgitating it back out on the
planet a different way calling yours
okay that’s what I did I don’t think I’m
alone I really don’t I’ve been around
the world in every country in this
planet for the last 20 years and
everywhere I go it’s the same story
we’re all the same people so I now have
a clear understanding and only when I’m
aware that this is happening between
people
only when I can understand that I have
the power to choose no matter what you
say to me or about me only then can I
accept responsibility for what I produce
check that out
I can only then accept responsibility
for what I say next if I have a full
understanding that none of it belongs to
me in the first place isn’t that cool
it’s like choosing the food I eat every
day every day I look at the food and I
go I looks really good and then I decide
whether or not I’m in the mood for it
and I put I feed myself the energy I
thought is it possible to do the same
thing with what I see in here is it yeah
it is just because you speak doesn’t
mean it’s mine I have to learn how to
process it I have to learn that you
represent you when you speak every time
you open your mouth only then can I
accept responsibility for what I create
oops there is one for you now I can
truly tell you once I got to that place
I can love I can really love all people
I do I can love all people no matter
what you look like no matter how you are
I get some people who say well you can’t
love that guy if he murdered your wife
or you murdered this you can’t tell me
you can love him I say I can love him
but I don’t know if I want to be around
them I’m gonna miss my wife but the
truth is they still human being or she’s
still human being there’s over all
humans first that’s it and we don’t all
have the right training we don’t all
have the right backgrounds and education
so once I learned all this and I figured
it out for myself so I learned how to
change who I was as a human being so I
could love and respect all people my
life was different
those are the four words that I live by
today awareness understanding acceptance and love thank you very much
I had this internal scream going on
inside my brain for many years and I’d
like to share it with you want to share
the scream that was going on inside my
head for at least 10 years please just
love and accept me for who I am
please these are just tattoos it’s just
you don’t need to get him to accept me
you don’t have to be tattooed I don’t
care if you are I just want to be loved
and accepted I don’t want all the
for the axion experience my whole life
just because I chose to call her my skin
I’m just as human as you are that’s what
was going on in my head for many years
and sometimes that happens when we walk
