The End of the Political "War"'.

You can't make a difference by sitting in front t of the TV and posting on Facebook your upsets. You have to go after the politicians creating bad policy that will hurt people in the long run and show them why. Give them governmental statistics that are available to anyone. Don't just show them a YouTube video that's been edited by bias entity. 2020 for me is a year of research and communicating. Two local politicians have shown they are only interested in getting their next promotion or sharing about a lightweight and safe success story. That's how you do. You create easy to confront issues, then you solve them and post it everywhere. It gives the impression that real change is happening. In the meantime, they are voting in dangerous policies that destroy our values and rips our constitution to shreds. Just pay attention to what they are doing and voting for and you'll see the pattern. The political pattern.

In this post, I'm not referring to our mayor. I like our mayor and he has brought real help to our city. I'm also not referring to our 3 ward councilmen who I've spoken with many times and have always felt their sincerity. I even worked for one councilman and gave 100% into helping him win a landslide victory.

I'm referring to those that claim to help Bayonne but they're living in Trenton and rubbing elbows with those slowly killing the small businessman and trying to pass laws that will rip control of our children under the guise of "help". I have not mentioned names yet because I'm hoping they will do the right thing and have an open discussion regarding these issues.

I will tell you all that at this point in my life, I've lost interest in the LEFT Verses RIGHT TV ShitShow. I'm only concerned with our Human Rights. What is our Human Right? Well, one of the most powerful documents that no one talks about is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of February 16, 1948. Written by Elenor Roosevelt and signed by 48 countries. If you're not familiar with it, please message m and I'll send you a copy.

In Conclusion, I would like to thank you all for your love and support. Today begins a new day of hope and freedom.

God bless you.

Let me Clarify...

I would like to clarify a little about who I am and what do I do. I’m a creative person. Always have been. I started in music as a kid playing guitar and then in bands and recording music. I still play and love it. My active years of playing a lot were 1987 to 2007. In 2008 I became interested in acting shooting numerous films listed on IMDB. I love acting, writing and directing.

Today, I have a media/video company called JAF Project that I started with Frank Rocco Maglio earlier this year and we moved into our office in April. There we create videos for businesses, individual personalities, original narrative films, and music videos. We also provide social media consulting and content development for clients. Our main goal at JAF is to help people by teaching them how to help themselves using the power of video and social media.

In 2016 I got my real estate license and I’m working at Costanza Realtors in Bayonne. I like it there and I’m planning to do bigger things in real estate in the years to come.

Basically, I enjoy posting positive videos, writing articles about life, hosting a podcast, selling real estate and sharing my journey with those that care in the hopes that someone will benefit from the content.

The reason I’m posting this here is for those that are too close-minded to see that life can be an expansion of creativity and be different at every turn. It's not being unsure of what direction you’re going simply because your passions are many. Being creative to me makes life worth living. Living a life that’s creative matters to this planet and it should be supported. Especially by loved ones that might not fully understand it because they are the ones that can easily destroy the purpose of an artist.

Please support your local artists and make them feel like they matter. Giving them anything less is a slow death to emptiness for the artist and the unaware souls. Thank you for reading. John Henry Soto 🎥📷🎸🎹🎶🎵🎼🎨

Why I gave up complaining. By John Henry Soto

When I hear people complain about how hard it is to make it because of where they grew up, I can't help to think of my grandparents coming here in the mid-40s without knowing a word of English and finding factory jobs they worked for 20 years. They were around my age now when they arrived here! Then I remember my grandma telling me how she had to leave school in the 3rd grade to go to work. Her job was cleaning clothes in the river and sewing. She was 8 years old. My grandpa told me stories of working as a truck driver for the fire department. Things were a little different back then. He also drove a rock truck from the village to the city for building materials. I still carry his metal belt license on my key chain. I remember as a young boy walking by my grandpa's bedroom while he was resting after work and seeing him laying down wide awake scratching his forehead deep in thought. I always wondered what he was thinking about. I never had the nerve to ask him because I was afraid it wouldn't be good and it would make me sad. But I'm sad now anyway so in retrospect, I should have asked. His space felt sad to me but he always smiled and was the funniest dude around. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him in some way. I never met my dad so he was it for me and I couldn't imagine a better role model.

My grandma worked at a zipper factory called ACME. That's right ACME. Same place the Coyote spent a fortune on gadgets to try to capture the Roadrunner. She worked there for almost 20 years. Someone convinced her she should retire and she did. Three years shy of being eligible for a pension. Not sure if it was deliberate or not but it really bothered her. She said she did it to take care of me because my mom was working at the time and had remarried. I don't have all those details families don't talk about. My grandma was a tough lady and ruled the house. She worked hard and I never heard her complain that the work was too much. She did, however, hate the commute to her job in Long Island City and spoke about that a lot. The subway announcements she never understood so she had to ask around and sometimes people were not very nice to help her. But she always had the furniture she wanted and we always had food. Food was a big part of growing up for me. I miss those days and I truly miss her. Today is my grandma's birthday. She would have been 108! She lived to 96 so that's pretty amazing. My grandpa was 96 when he moved on! My mom was a lot younger which was very sad. I'll write something soon just about how great she was.

I truly can go on and on in detail about my family and my upbringing but that wasn't the reason I began writing down these thoughts. The purpose was this. I use these stories and memories whenever life challenges me harshly or I'm physically tired or it feels like it's a never-ending journey towards success. I look at my life and realize what an amazing success I already am and how blessed I am to have the opportunities in front of me. Today I feel really great. I would like to thank you for reading. ❤️🙏 JHS
