What makes a friend a friend?
Is it the time that you spend?
Is it the depth of the connection?
Is it the common interests?
Is it the amount of time after you first met?

National Aviation Day
Today
Is National Aviation Day.
It is a day
To celebrate
The marvel of airplanes.
They are such wonders,
Taking us from one place to another.
They are an amazing form of travel.
Sure, they have their problems
And they could be made better,
But they are able to take us great distances
On Earth
In a short period of time.

The Jaime David Podcast – Ep. 14 “Climate Change is Real”
JAIME DAVID:
Hey everyone, welcome back to The Jaime David Podcast. I am your host, Jaime, and today’s episode is all about something that I feel is really important—climate change.Recently, I was reading an article by the New York Times about how 2019 was officially the hottest year on record. After reading that, I was honestly pretty shocked, and it got me thinking about how real and pressing this issue is. If we don’t start taking it seriously, we’re going to be in some serious trouble.
So, I was inspired to write a short poem in response to the article’s title, and I thought I’d share it with you all today. It’s my way of expressing just how hot things are getting—both literally and figuratively.
Here’s the poem:
[Reading the poem]
Climate Change is Real
That’s…..hot!Ok, no it’s not!
It sucks a lot!
It’s worse than I thought!
This planet’s all we fucking got,
and right now, it’s getting too damn hot!
JAIME DAVID:
Yeah, that’s right. It’s getting way too hot. And honestly, the more I think about it, the more I realize that this isn’t just a distant problem—it’s something we’re living through right now. We’ve got wildfires, flooding, rising sea levels, and temperatures that are consistently breaking records year after year. And, it’s not just happening in some faraway place—it’s happening everywhere.When you really think about it, we only have one planet. This is it. And if we don’t make some serious changes, we’re going to lose it. We’re the ones who have to take responsibility and make sure that the planet can support future generations.
Climate Change: Why It Matters
What’s really scary is how many people are still in denial about this. There’s still this pushback from certain individuals and groups that refuse to acknowledge the reality of climate change. But, honestly, the facts speak for themselves. Our planet is changing, and if we don’t do something about it now, things are going to get even worse.And it’s not just about global temperatures—it’s about everything that’s connected to it. It’s about food, water, shelter, our homes, our cities, our countries, our economies. It’s all interconnected, and if one piece falls apart, the rest of it starts to unravel too.
So, I’m not trying to be all doom and gloom here, but the point is we need to start acting now. It’s about making sustainable choices, reducing waste, conserving energy, and taking care of the environment. It’s about having the courage to make the changes we need to secure a future that’s not only liveable, but a future that’s thriving.
Final Thoughts
The fact is, climate change is real, and it’s happening now. We can’t afford to wait any longer. Whether it’s through voting, activism, or even just changing small habits in our own lives, we all have a part to play in making sure this planet is here for future generations.So, yeah, let’s not pretend this isn’t a big deal. Let’s take action while we still have time. And maybe we can cool things down before it’s too late.
Thanks for tuning in to this episode. If you’re passionate about climate change, I’d love to hear your thoughts and what actions you think we should be taking to address it.
The Jaime David Podcast will be back soon with more episodes, but until then, remember: take care of your planet—it’s the only one we’ve got.

Birthdays
Today is your birthday.
You would have been another year older today.
It’s been 6 years that you’ve been gone.
It’s hard to believe you’ve been gone.
It still hurts to this day.
The day you passed away
And your birthday,
Those are both days
That sadden me.
I can’t believe it’s been so long.
In four more years,
It will be 10 years you’ve been gone.
It doesn’t feel like it.
It feels like not too much time has passed,
It feels like only yesterday.
it feels like only yesterday, you went away.
It feels like only yesterday since you passed away.

The Jaime David Podcast – Ep. 13 “Life and Death”
Hey, what’s up, everyone? Welcome back to The Jaime David Podcast! It’s Jaime here, and today’s episode is a heavy one. We’re talking about life and death. Yeah, I know, it’s not the easiest topic to tackle, but sometimes you gotta face the tough stuff head-on.So, if you’ve been following the news, you know there’s been a lot of tension between the U.S. and Iran, and it got me thinking about something we all inevitably face: death. It’s one of those universal truths, something we can’t escape. And no matter where you are in life, whether you’re in a good place or struggling, it’s always there, lurking in the background.
But even though death is something we all know is coming, I think there’s a lot to be said for how we choose to live in the meantime. So today, I’m sharing a poem I wrote that reflects on both life and death, and how we should make the most of the time we have.
Here’s the poem, called Life and Death.
This whole thing with the US and Iran
Has really got me thinking, man!
It’s got me thinking all about death,
And how it will one day be the inevitable end!We may not know how we’ll die.
We won’t know when, where, by what, by who, nor why!
All we do know is that one day, it will be our time!I know that I don’t want to die,
For I still want to experience life!
There’s still places I want to see,
And people that I want to meet.I want to try new foods to eat,
And fall in love with the right one for me!
I want to try interesting things,
And expand the knowledge in my brain.I don’t know what’s beyond the grave,
Nor do I know how long I’ll stay!
One thing I do know, I can certainly say,
Is I’ll live each day like it was my last day,
And I will do so with a smile on my face!
So, yeah, like I said, this is a heavy topic, but it’s something we all need to think about. Life is so fragile, and sometimes we forget how short it really is. You never know what’s going to happen, and when it’s your time, it’s your time. But that doesn’t mean we should just wait around for death to come knocking.It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind, the stress, the endless list of things to do, but at the end of the day, none of that really matters if we’re not taking the time to live, really live. That’s what this poem is about—reminding us that even though death is inevitable, life is something we should be actively enjoying, exploring, and savoring every chance we get.
It’s funny, you know? The older I get, the more I realize how much I still want to do. There are so many places I haven’t visited, so many people I still want to meet, so many experiences I want to have. And sometimes, you just gotta stop and ask yourself: Am I truly living, or am I just going through the motions?We all have dreams and goals, but sometimes we’re too busy worrying about the future or stuck in the past to make the most of today. So, what I try to do—what I encourage you to do—is live each day like it’s your last. Find joy in the little things. Don’t wait for tomorrow to take that trip, try that new food, or meet that person. Do it now. Live fully, love fiercely, and always smile, because life is precious.
You might not know when your time will come, but the one thing you can control is how you choose to live in the time you have. Don’t waste it. Don’t put off your dreams or aspirations. Death will come for all of us, but while we’re here, we have the power to make our lives meaningful.So that’s it for today’s episode. I hope this poem and these thoughts give you some food for thought. Don’t take life for granted—live it to the fullest. And remember, at the end of the day, it’s not about how long you live, but how fully you live in the time you’re given.
Thanks for tuning in to The Jaime David Podcast. I will be back soon with more content, but until then, live each day with purpose, and always wear a smile.

Haze
It’s hazy out.
It’s grey out.
There’s a haze out.
The sky’s greyed out.
It’s because of the smoke
From the wildfires.
It seems this has become the norm.
What a gloomy thing
To happen so often.

Ticking Clock
The clock keeps ticking.
Is it the end?
When did it begin?
How long has it been?
Will it ever end?
This feels endless.
Is there no way to mend?
Days just seem to blend.
What do you do, my friend?
We keep seeing red.
One day, it’ll all end.
Let’s hope not today.

The Jaime David Podcast – Ep. 12 “Change”
JAIME DAVID:
Hey, hey, everyone! Welcome back to The Jaime David Podcast! It’s Jaime, your host, and I am so glad you’re here. Today’s episode is all about something we can all relate to: change. You’ve probably heard it said a million times—change is the only constant in life. And today, we’re diving into that idea.I have got a poem that really reflects on the way change is all around us, whether we like it or not. So let’s jump into it.
Here’s my poem called Change.
[Reading the poem]
Change
Things change.
Plans change.
People change.
We all change.Everyone changes.
Everything changes.
Change is all around us.
It surrounds us.
It’s all about us.It allows us
To be who we’re truly meant to be
And allows for us to see
The people we truly want to be!JAIME DAVID:
Change. It’s a word that often comes with mixed emotions. For some, it’s exciting. For others, it’s terrifying. But whether we’re prepared for it or not, change is a part of life. It’s happening all the time—on a personal level, in the world around us, in society, and even in nature. It’s the constant that can’t be avoided.Change as a Universal Force
One of the things I wanted to explore with this poem is how change is universal. From the smallest detail—like a change in the weather—to the biggest shifts, like the changes we go through in life, change is everywhere. It’s not just about physical changes like moving to a new place or getting older. It’s about the mental, emotional, and even spiritual changes that shape us.I think sometimes we resist change because it feels uncertain or uncomfortable. But, in truth, change is often what allows us to grow, to evolve, and to become the people we’re really meant to be.
The Beauty in Change
The beauty in change is that it’s never stagnant. You can’t stay stuck in one place forever, and that’s okay. Change allows us to adapt, to improve, and to discover new paths. It opens up opportunities to become the best versions of ourselves, even if it means leaving behind things that no longer serve us.If we really look at change from that perspective, it’s not something to fear, but something to embrace. Each shift in our lives brings a chance to reinvent ourselves, to discover new goals, and to connect with people who resonate with the new version of us.
Embracing the Future
So, the next time you’re faced with something new—whether it’s a new job, a new place, or a new chapter in life—remember: change is a powerful tool. It’s a force that’s here to help you become who you’re truly meant to be, even if it’s hard to see it in the moment.Thank you for tuning in to today’s episode of The Jaime David Podcast. Change may be challenging, but it’s also an incredible opportunity. I hope this poem and episode gave you a little perspective on how you can embrace change rather than shy away from it.
If you like this episode, don’t forget to check out more of my posts and poetry over on my blog. Keep embracing change, and I will be back soon with another episode.
Until then, take care!

August
August.
Aw shucks!
Guess that means it’s the end of summer?
What a bummer.
At least that means it will almost be fall.
That would be cool,
Except that students will be going back to school.
