The Fast Heart Mart Podcast

The RV is Back up and running and my 47th birthday will be next Wednesday March 7th. I talked about these topics and showed some videos of me in my Volkswagen Van. Some people think I'm just now joining the "Van Life" party, but I've been "Van Life" since 2007.

After 7 years of traveling all over North America in my Toyota Prius, I have decided it is time I get an RV so I can have something to do my traveling properly. Namely, the RV has a bathroom and shower so I can feel like I'm part of civilized society when I'm on the road. The RV has a nice bed and plety of space for me to practice my music. The Prius has been AMAZING! I have saved so much money on fuel costs and maintenance, but the Prius is not what I envision for my life. It is really difficult for me to practice my music when I'm on the road in my Prius.  Therefore, I have decided to take a chance on buying this 1984 Toyota Sunrader with only 24,000 original miles on it! I got a GREAT deal on it, but there is one catch...there was a factory recall on the rear axle that is very dangerous unless a person replaces it. I am confident I will be able to affordably fix this issue. You know what they say, I the 2 best days of an RV owners life is the day he buys the RV and the day he sells it. Well, here's hoping this is an exception. In this episode of the podcast I will share my stories so far about my new RV. I will also share some stories about the Volkswagen Van I had for years and why I think this Toyota Sunrader may be way better for me than the Volkswagen was. 

Songs:
1 "California Stars" by Woody Guthrie and Wilco  
2 "On The Road Again" by Willie Nelson 
3 "Lost Soul Search" by Fast Heart Mart 

note: If you need an affordable Prius, let me know. If everything goes to plan, I will be selling my Prius in the next few weeks as I just have enough space in my life to keep it and the RV both.

In this episode I talked about my predictions for 2024 and how it's ok to say "Happy New Year" all month of January. 

NOTE: In this New Year I will broadcast every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. Going weekly was fun, but I found that I was not able to have enough time for other things that need to get done. Perhaps I will go back to every week someday, but for now I want to see where twice a month takes me.

2 Just Gettin Started  (banjo) 
3 Touch Of Grey 
4 Hearts And Dreams (banjo)

There's Christians. There's Jews. There's Muslims. There's Buddhists. There's Hindus. And there's a combination of them all called the Bahais, which is what I consider myself to be. I am a combination of all the religions that believes world peace IS possible. In this episode I will talk about my spiritual path that I have walked as closely as I could since 1997, called The Bahai Faith. I think this faith will solve a lot of the world's problems, even though there are some issues that I discovered during the pandemic. 

More info on the Bahai faith here: https://www.bahai.org/

-I saw the Light by Hank Williams (banjo)

In this episode I gave my thoughts as to why there are so many wars in the world now and in the past. Why Should We care? What can we do about it? 

Why is it important to stand up for our freedom now? The people in North Korea might be able to explain tyrannical government best...Joe Rogan interviews Yeonmi Park who escaped North Korea:

On Wednesday Oct 4th, 2023,  there was scheduled to be a national FEMA Emergency Broadcast through cell phones that was supposed last for 2 hours. Usually these broadcasts only go on few a few seconds, or minutes at most, so some people are concerned the cell phones are going to trigger some kind of Zombie apocalypse. Like so many things these days, I remain agnostic on the subject, but I went live at 4pm on Wednesday Oct. 4th, wether there were zombies or NOT! It is Halloween season. This episode was kind of mellow, with me saying very few outrageous things, which some people may prefer. 

Songs
-"What A Wonderful World" - made famous by Louise Armstrong 
-"Haunting" - by Fast Heart Mart 
-"I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones
-"Hearts and Dreams" - by Fast Heart Mart

-"Special Star"-by Fast Heart Mart

I have been in San Diego for exactly 10 years this month and this episode I did some reflecting about how that has been. Frankly, this episode is mostly me talking about my battle with clinical depression and Season Affective Disorder (SAD) which is the main reason I moved to sunny San Diego 10 years ago. However, the episode is very optimistic in that I talk about how I have overcome clinical depression and I give hope to people out there who may be dealing with depression. 

Here is a blog post that I wrote a few years back about what I do to keep depression out of my life as much as possible:

I can hear people groaning and cringing now about me doing ANOTHER episode dedicated to this subject. However, I think I did a good job covering this topic last time. I have a few questions from listeners that I want to address in this episode AND I have a few more things to talk about that I did not have time to talk about last episode. Relax! I'll move on to other topics after this episode ;)
