Why I do what I do.

Hey,
So I know a lot of you know me but some of you are new to the Rex Felixx experience.

Here are a few things about me.

1.I have two eyes,

2.Anose

3. Love to sing, dance , and play guitar….

Ok for real though.

4. I do love eating spaghettios and edamame.

OK seriously, though….

I grew up in Buffalo, NY and have always been a goofy oddball person who loved to make people laugh. I come from a long history of artists who inspired me daily, to use that imagination.
Now, all grown up (37) and having too many gray hairs to count, I decided to continue this journey of assisting the world in understanding they can use imagination every single day and not be a potato too mature for play.
We don’t have to work a job we hate and never think about anything else. Can you imagine if you were 25 years of age, and found the (perfect) job and never thought about anything else except that?

Sad. ( Like ice cream melted in the sun before eating it sad.)

Rex Felixx has always been apart of me, and I am apart of it. The whole purpose of it is to show the world through my writings, drawings, and personality, that we can be true to our own self. Who cares what other people may chatter when we are doing something we love. King Happy (Rex Felixx) is all about inspiring people who feel down on their luck, who are stuck, or just bored with life. Everyday I wake up hoping to bring a smile to someone’s day, or a creative spark in a poem I write.

One little spark…

to get that imagination growing again!

You want to bake? Cool go bake it.
You love to sing? Great go and do open mic
You like doing marathons? Amazing go and run (I’m tired thinking about 26 miles)

Please if you can’t remember anything I write in this post, remember this

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
STOP BEING SHY ABOUT HOW AWESOME YOU ARE!!

Get out there and start living, stop ignoring that little voice inside your heart telling you to dream.

Cheers,

Rex Felixx

P.S. I want spaghettios

Another year.... Time to reflect.

Hey guys!!!

WHAT A YEAR!

Another year to be alive.

Another year to dream!
Life really is amazing.

Cheers to this year,

And
Cheers to the next year.

Although every year is awesome, I always want more. I always want to keep on growing.

In this last week of 2023, I think it is a good idea to sit and reflect on this past year.

Take a look at all the goals you have accomplished, (congratulate yourself, reward yourself)

Also review the goals you failed to achieve.( why did you fail? What support do I have?)

In 2024 may you continue to go after your dreams and goals and don’t dwell on your failures and shortcomings.
Take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself.

“How am I going to live this life to the fullest?”

“What do I want to achieve in 2024?”

“How can i achieve these goals?”

Goout there and be awesome!!!
Change the world!

Don’t give up on your dreams in this life,

otherwise you may be sitting there breathing but you aren't truly living.

Cheers,

Rex Felix

P.S Bring me some figgy pudding

It's okay bro.

I love onions but they don’t love me.

Whenever I am shopping at the store, I go to the onions and say “hello there Mr. Onion, would you want to come with me to your forever home?”

The onions never respond , but I end up taking them and bringing them home anyways.

Onions are the silent type, they won’t talk to me or even joke around.

They are ungrateful, I give them shelter, a place to live and to grow in my cupboards. I clean them and let them watch “Real Housewives of Omaha” every Tuesday night. (even though they are much too young) I don’t think they appreciate the love and care I give to them.

One day I was getting ready to make some homemade Blooming Onions and needed to use one of my precious onion friends. So I asked if it would be okay to use their help for a little bit.

No response. ( I figured they were being moody)

I asked again.

Sadly, no response again.

I figured it was okay, being that we were besties. I started to give the onions little trim and then that onion lost it. He went crazy!!!!

He started bullying me so much, that I started to cry.

Not just cry, but I balled my eyes out over his words.

I just ignored it and kept creating my favorite appetizer dish.

Tears kept running down my face from the hurtful words he spoke to me.

20 mins later the tears stopped and I had a glorious blooming onion dish

to show all the other onions.

Sad to say they weren’t impressed, they didn’t even give me a high five or a handshake for my accomplishment.

I think next time, I am going to think twice before I let these ungrateful onions come back into my home.

No more tears, just cheers,

Rex Felixx

P.S. blooming onions are better than onion petals.

Be kind homies...

I don’t know if it is just me coming back from vacation and being in the sunshine for a week straight. Or maybe it’s from being at the “ Happiest place on earth” hanging with Goofy and Mickey. I feel refreshed and ready to rock and roll. Being in sunny Florida makes me realize that its okay to be friendly and kind. Up in the great north I feel like we become so jaded and callous towards people sometimes. We keep our heads down and walk quickly to point A to point B. I don’t want to blame it on the weather and never seeing sunlight for almost half the year… but I am blaming on the weather. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt my whole trip in Florida in the middle of January. It was glorious.

It shouldn’t be like pulling teeth to be kind to each other, in fact it should make us feel good to do something nice. I think I am going to put forward a more conscious effort this week to be friendlier and bring some of that Florida sunshine up north. Be a beacon of positive energy to all the people you greet. Maybe we can melt the snow a little more quickly with our happiness towards ourselves and each other. Who am I kidding? There will probably be snow until the 4th of July fireworks go off.

Be Kind out there homies.

Cheers,

Rex Felixx

P.S. GO BILLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Thankful... Thanks... Thank you...

I am thankful today

for all the people

who I interact with on a day to day.

The people who are family , friends, and everyone who is

close by

or far, far away.

I smile ear to ear knowing you have a place

in my heart and life right now.

Life is so much more enjoyable

when I have you there,

and it would be oh so miserable

without your smiling faces.

Thank you for this chaotic life

I call my own, even when I feel mad or all alone.

Every moment has a time and place,

we should all embrace.

Soon enough it will all be forgotten,

or stored away on the lonely shelves of our memories.

Thank you for the burdens I have each day,

and the inevitable joys that approach after the stress and turmoil phase.

If I never felt the storms and rain,

how could I ever appreciate the sunny day’s rays?

Take time this Holiday weekend to enjoy the moments

and create the best memories!

Cheers ,

Rex Felixx

P.S eat all the food and sleep as much as you like.

Whistle ,Whistle, Not Thistles and Missiles

I was walking out of Dick’s Sporting Goods yesterday and I was whistling a rather catchy tune, and some old lady passing by said to her middle aged daughter, “He must be in a happy mood.”

I must say I was taken aback by the comment as I walked back to my car. It made me feel good to see others experience what I have everyday, or try to make an effort to experience. It made me realize how a little more happiness can make someone’s day. I had no idea I was whistling; it comes naturally from when I was a kid til now. My Grandpa Joe (not the same Grandpa from Willy Wonka, if you’re wondering.) always whistled around the house, and I must’ve picked up on it and have been whistling around the house ever since. Happiness should be shared with everybody around you. A positive energy normally exudes from you and is definitely contagious. Don’t believe me? Do this: Next time you are at a party or social interaction, look for the person with the smiles and notice the how the people are around them and how they laughing and enjoying life. Then look for the scowl and stern faced people and how they are lonely and bored to death. Put yourself out there and stop being so serious all the time. You will see happiness attracts the awesome people. Now go chat with the the scowl faced person and brighten their day. Happiness should be for you and everyone.

So go out there and whistle while walking, listen to inspiring podcasts, be your goofy self

and start living your happy life.

Cheers,

Rex Felixx

P.S. Maybe I will go back to school to get my degree in Classical Whistling Performance or Basket Weaving.

Life gives you Lemons

This sunshine has gotten me thinking about how staying positive is the only way to live. Life will always give you lemons. There are also days where I want to be alone and curl up and sulk in sorrow. However, You can either pucker up and always have a sour outlook on the day to day, or make lemonade and enjoy that sweet sweet drink.

I noticed the older I become the harder it is to stay youthful and positive. With so much drama going on and war, strife and craziness it’s easy to fall in line with everyone else and be bitter. (Just read social media) I ask you to fight that urge. Be the happiness in this world. Resist that urge to have that sour look on your face 24/7. Your outlook on life truly defines how “Lucky” you are. I don’t believe in luck but I feel you are open to more awesome opportunities, the more positive and youthful you are. I mean who enjoys cynical people.

Never lose that youthfulness we all have. Surround yourself with people are positive and happy most of the time. Life is so much more fun and grand with people like that.

Go out and play!

Go on a run and sweat!

Enjoy the warm breeze!

Drink that cold beverage and eat that chocolate cake!

Enough with this attitude of pessimistic nihilism. We aren’t helping anyone.

Yours truly,

Rex Felixx

P.S. Go outside and enjoy this Summer of Happiness!

Surprise!

I enjoy nothing more than to hand out gifts to make people feel joy. Whether its paying the person behind me in line for their coffee at Starbucks. Or finding a green Sasquatch driving a monster truck t-shirt from a thrift shop to surprise a friend with. The elation it brings is amazing. Physical gifts giving is awesome in it’s own right. However many of us don’t realize that we all have gifts and talents that we can share everyday but we choose to bury them deep, and hide them away. I’m not sure if its pride or the feeling that recipient won’t like it. A smile to a stranger can help them through a rough patch in that moment. Listening intently to a friend in need while drinking some beers at happy hour. Handwriting a letter to mail to your family who lives far away. Singing a song to old Nana, Dorothy McShaw. We all have so many talents and gifts to share in our own way. Come to think of it, maybe the world would be a much better place, if we just shared our gifts for good, and try to bring joy out of people every single day.

“Everyone has a gift for something, even if it is the gift of being a good friend." - Marian Anderson
