My name is Brenda Bonds. March 16 2013. Personalities: Turn Back the Hands of Time by Brenda Bonds my first book was released in the spring of 2012. That’s also when my brother GayGay got out of school it was a good month me and Ray and Snoop picked him up from the fire camp Ray and I used to go visit him the school and Aberdeen Washington he was happy to be out took him to his ex wife Deborah Haver I call my sister Squinky my sister Debora she was glad to see her brother. It was a nice day I was glad to see my brother out of school to include the ideas something positive is a new beginning for me and him I thank Ray for taking me there GayGay made him all necklaces. He wears it all the time.

MayAnn and her husband, Butch used to barbecue all the time. MayAnn did the best she could with what she had to raise her children right. She liked to drink, and everyone gets crazy when they get drinking’ . . . just like me… ha-ha!

Sometimes I’d come to town on the weekends and holidays, MayAnn and her man, Butch, would be barbecuing. We’d have a good time, and everyone would have a good time. MayAnn would always say. Brenda why you laugh like that? You got such a funny laugh! Haha!

Personalities are the type of thing, when you look at someone, sometimes they remind you of someone. Keisha, for instance, when I’d go to her house, they have family get togethers. They’d always be wondering where I was at. I call Keisha’s daughter Red. She’d be dancing around and laughing. That’s what I’d enjoy, was watching the kids have fun.

After I left VV’s house, I went to Lisa’s house. As you see people growing, you see them trying to do differently. Being raised up on the Hilltop, I see kids that my sibling’s kids are growing up with and go to school with. I see some of them get caught up in gangs, growing up in poverty and getting caught up in shit. I wish all the children of the world would live a better life than what’s going on right now in society. I wish all these girls would change their lives. As I look around at people’s personalities, I wonder how they can still be living that life. Never judge a person, cuz some people CAN change.

As I keep going through my journey of research for my book, I run across many people. I ran across my nephew’s ex-old-lady, Rahkeshia. She gave me a hug because she was happy to see me. She wanted to help me out with my research because she was one who changed her life. She brought my grandson, Zeke, to the motel at the end of the day. I got to visit with him for a while, then they left. I saw RahKeisha one more time. She was trying to do her best. She’s a good girl. After that, I went back to Elma and got ready to go to California.

Ray took me to Olympia to wait for the Amtrak. I got on the train… and again was amazed by personalities. I met this girl. She and I got talking bout her life and how she’d gotten caught up in drugs. Then they had to stop the train, and LOW AND BEHOLD!!! She wasn’t practicing what she be preaching! She said she wasn’t using, but it was the ambulance that came to get her. She called me later from the hospital, and we talked for a bit.

I continued on my journey. I went to Vallejo. I’ve watched all kinds of TV shows with the criminal sciences, but I have never seen anyone with so many different personalities, until I seen this guy. He seemed like he had schizophrenia, psychopathic and other illnesses… all mixed together. This guy seemed nice, and then all of a sudden, he would change… crazy change! I backed away from that quick. I mean, this guy knew of me, but didn’t know me. That just goes to show you gotta be careful with who you know, and who you get caught up with.

After that, when I got back on the train and went back to Tacoma, Ray picked me up. I went to go see GayGay. The people at the school up there told me how great it is that I go to see my brother. That he is lucky to have a sister like me.

One day, someone knocked at my door. It was a friend of mine on her way back to Tacoma, and she said she wanted to come by. Ray was out in his trailer, and he would take my cat, My Friend Sam. My neighbor told me one time he ain’t never seen a cat on a leash. They’re from California, and got twin kids. I told him My Friend Sam, has got to be good. He jumped out of the closet, this one time, and scared the shit out of me!!! I yelled, "My Friend Sam!!! What you doin? HAHA!!! This is how you entertain yourself in a small town… ha-ha!!

Ray and I drove to Tacoma one day to see my sisters and brother. We took My Friend Sam… They said they didn’t like cats, but later had a cat and a dog. My Friend Sam looked at me like, Never take me there again!!

When we got home, I went to the gym to work out. I’m nice to people, but I don’t get to know too many. I like to kind of keep to myself, but people are nice to me. Then I went to the library. I seen T-Town, my friend, as I was doing my research. I was doing a great job, but needed some help. A friend of mine, Bridget said she’d be my assistant for my book. I had met her at the store where she worked and we became friends. I sometimes would have her check out motels and different things in and she did a good job so now she works as my assistant. We work good together. We make each other laugh and we are like sisters. stories!

She helped me with my first book, which is now alive and on the internet. But now here come the haters and the critics. There are some things in the book that people criticize… mistakes and wrong words. Those who know me, know I don’t try to do no harm. Most know that the mistakes are mistakes. Like Icy Mike, when we was in Pomona, Big Ralph threw the car key back at Icy Mike. When we was in Vallejo, three days later, little Ralph called his dad, Big Ralph and said that his brother, who name was Mike, too, had passed away in San Francisco.

So, that was my mistake. Also, there were two guys, Roy, who were in the book, too. One was a white dude who was a truck driver, and one was my daughter’s ex-old-dude. One thing I saw that I want to get cleared up is, my daughter’s ex-old-dude, wasn’t no big ass pimp. I don’t know nothing bout them, kept that they separated. I’m clearing this stuff up now because I see a lot of haters that are criticizing my book, and I want to make sure this shit gets taken care of now.

People I thought was gonna be there for me are upset because I said something about the riots of the 60’s, and one of my brothers. So, if I put something in my previous book, I never meant no harm or offense to no one.

One mistake I did make was when Renee was in the car in Phoenix, she got shot in the arm, not the head. I read the book myself, and that was a mistake there. But anyone who reads my book and knows me, knows there are mistakes, but I wouldn’t be trying to hurt no mother-fucker… so there ain’t no reason to be hatin’! I was just trying to inspire people to know, they can go through all this kind of shit, and still come out ahead, and make something good out of it all… Instead, people want to try to bring me down. As you can see, the haters ain’t stopping me… I’m still writing.

I do want to tell you about the good parts of my life, as well. Oscar and his wife, Francis. Their son, Lorenzo. VV, Keisha, CreeCree, Big Lisa and Diane. They were all there for me, and wanted to see me make it. Big Lisa came by after my book was done. I was at a friend’s waiting for Betty and Diane to show up. Ray
