ZAKI QAYOUMI AKA ZACK IS CURRENTLY WRITING AS HE HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 14 YEARS. HE HAS NOT RECEIVED PAYCHECKS FOR THE LAST ALMOST 8 YEARS IN THE BIG TECH NOR STARTUPS INDUSTRIES THEREFORE HE HAS NO SORROWS BY THE MASSIVE LAYOFFS THAT EVERYBODY IS FACING. THE REPORTS THAT HE WRITES ARE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, DUE TO PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS, WHICH CAN HELP VARIOUS IMPORTANT PEOPLE MAKE EXECUTIVE DECISIONS, ESPECIALLY IN THE WORLD OF TECH, THE ECONOMY, WORLD AFFAIRS / AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES / DIPLOMACY, AND THE WORLD OF MUSIC AND THE WORLD OF GAMING. HE HAS PERFORMED OVER 25 YEARS OF WORK, INCLUDING THESE LAST ALMOST 8 YEARS UNPAID AND WAITING FOR HIS FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE EVER OR CAR DONATION. HE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS A SALARY ASAP. LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT ZAKI AKA ZACK IS A COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY GRADUATE OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY WITH A B.A. IN DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS, ALONG WITH TWO CERTIFICATES, ONE IN DATA ANALYSIS FROM CRC, AND THE OTHER IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT FROM FLC. LET’S BE REAL, IF ZAKI’S NAME WAS NOT FOREIGN, HE WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED HIS PROJECT MANAGER JOB OFFER IN TECH WORLD. YOU ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THIS DISASTER AND WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES, MORE MASSIVE LAYOFFS UNTIL I RECEIVE A SALARY. THERE WILL BE A NEW SEASON OF UNDERCOVER BOSS ON CBS. THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY HAS BEEN A TOTAL DISASTER AND MORE DISCRIMINATION TOWARDS MINORITIES TOOK PLACE. YOU ARE ALL GAMBLING WITH OUR LIVES, OUR SALARIES, OR LACK THEREOF, I DEMAND COMPENSATION, AS SOON AS HUMANELY POSSIBLE.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Tuesday, November 4th, 2025. It’s Voting Day Throughout many places in America, especially in California, for PROPOSITION 50! Make sure to vote YES and stand by Governor Gavin Newsom. This is because the Republicans want to perform Gerrymandering in Texas, and thus, we will need more Democratic Districts in California to ensure we win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the Midterms of 2026. These elections are closer than you think. We absolutely cannot afford to let President Trump destroy this country any further, we need Democrats back in charge of the House of Representatives and the Senate in order to pass some legislations. It is imperative. There will also be a “Coffee With Zaki” VLOG in French later tonight.

Until Next Time!

The International School of San Francisco est un établissement de référence de l’enseignement français à l’étranger. Son originalité réside dans son identité internationale et l’accueil d’étudiants du monde entier au cœur de San Francisco, derrière un projet où notre pays et notre langue ont une place essentielle mais non exclusive. Il promeut en cela un multilinguisme et un multi culturalisme qui sont au cœur de notre vision du monde et de nos valeurs. Et il fera bientôt peau neuve, dans le cadre d’une rénovation ambitieuse de tous ses espaces.

Merci à la proviseur Melinda Bihn et au proviseur adjoint Fabrice Urrizalqui de The International School of San Francisco d’avoir accueilli Marceau JUIN, Rouksana SIMJEE et Florian Cardinaux pour une visite et un échange riches. Nous avons beaucoup de choses à faire ensemble pour promouvoir la francophonie. Au travail!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Saturday, November 1st, 2025. It’s the first of the month! It’s also the weekend of Halloween! I hope y’all had fun last night, and hopefully didn’t party too hard, and didn’t have any regrets from last night. I’m excited for the next Ohio State Football game. I am very proud to be an OSU Alumni, Class of 2009, and know I am being discriminated in the workplace due to my foreign name and place of birth, even though I spent half of my life in France, and the other half in the United States. As a result, over 30,000 employees were layoffs from Amazon, since I applied over a year ago for a few positions, without any job offers. I’m watching UNDERCOVER BOSS lately, and it’s AWESOME. #GoBucks!

What’s up, everybody! TGIF! It’s the weekend! If you’ve done all your homework for Monday, you can play your videogames! It’s HALLOWEEN weekend! Have fun! Dress up, but be safe! Ladies, carry a battery pack in your purse so that your phone doesn’t run out of juice, if you need to call a cab/Uber/Lyft etc. Don’t eat all your candy this weekend or you’ll get diabetes! Gamers (Guys/Gals) let’s enjoy more livestreaming! Perfect time for y’all to have Cosplay Parties! If I have privacy, I will be able to livestream more CYBERPUNK 2077 in Japanese Audio + English subtitles! Also, Battlefield 6 Single-Player Campaign, before I delve into the Multiplayer mode! My handful of Spooky Game Recommendations for HALLOWEEN weekend are “Death Stranding Director’s Cut,” “Death Stranding 2: On The Beach,” “Hell is Us,” “Silent Hill 2,” and “Resident Evil 2 REMAKE.” Death Stranding is a really good game, but extremely disturbing. It’s not for the faint of hearts, but can help people dealing with depression as a result of dealing with grief, I for one, faced a miscarriage a few years ago with my ex-wife (RIP Audrey) and DS2 has been extremely helpful dealing with my grief, and defeating HIGGS felt rewarding. I’ve played the “Hell is Us” demo, and it’s really obscure and good. It’s a niche game. I wish it was on the PlayStation Plus, but I guess I’ll have to wait. “Silent Hill 2” is on the PlayStation Plus, therefore you can enjoy it. I own RE2 Remake, but it’s so goddamn hard. The last RE game I beat was RE 5. I better hurry up before RE 9 is released. I used to be able to defeat the original over 20 times as a teenager, and now I can barely get by. I’m at the LICKER boss battle, which is still at the beginning. Here is the link for the HALLOWEEN SALE on the Playstation Store. Great News! HALO on PLAYSTATION 5 is confirmed. Don’t forget about the TWISTED METAL series! Be sure to only play games depending on your age range. Games can be rated E for Everyone, rated T for Teen (13 & up), and rated M for Mature (17 & up). Consult with your parents.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Thursday, October 30th, 2025. The month of October almost came to its end. That means I have completed my 100-hr gaming challenge for the Michael J Fox Foundation for October 2025. I will have to calculate the number of hours played, and more details about my fundraiser here. I unfortunately did not come anywhere near my goal of $500. I was unable to donate anything myself since I don’t have any money on any Debit Cards and I don’t have a Credit Card. I haven’t had an Allowance since Late October 2024. I haven’t received a Paycheck Salary since July 2019. If someone could please donate $5, it would be much appreciated. Thank you so much. With the possibility of a Third Trump Term even though it would be highly illegal, I’m afraid we are facing the alternate Biff Future for a third time if we are not careful. We must all stay vigilant. And we all could use a new Back to the Future Trilogy, or a new Videogames Trilogy since Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd could do the voice-acting and motion captures.

Until Next Time!
