What’s up, everybody! It’s Saturday, January 18th, 2025. Only 2 more days until the College Footbal National Championship. It will be between The Ohio State University and Notre Dame. Exciting. I will do my best to attend a local OSU Alumni Watching Party Chapter. It’s been ages. It’s been years. Hopefully rekindle with some familiar faces, and meet new ones. For personal reasons (find friends and maybe more), and business reasons (find work in California, or back in Ohio).

What’s up, everybody! It’s Friday, January 17th, 2025. TGIF! It’s the weekend! Enjoy some videogames and some livestreams! It ought to be fun! Let’s keep our thoughts deep with those affected in the #LAFire and help them however we can, whether it’s financially or emotional support. I think entities such as streamers on TWITCH.TV or Kinda Funny could have special livestreams to raise some funds for #LAFire. They’ll be eating RISING CANE’S and somehow someway, I wish I would be too. I may have to sneak out of the house to grab some. My folks despise fast-food with a passion. I still haven’t had McDonalds to mourn the Bengals loss from PLAYOFFS. Been months since Wendy’s and Burger King as well. I miss the Wendy’s in Rancho Cordova, and the Burger King in Folsom near the Fashion Outlets.

Until Next Time!
