Please enjoy July 4th weekend responsibly. If you’re in California, I implore you to leave fireworks to the professionals. It’s fire season, and if you remember the last few summers, we would like not to witness that again. If you’re going to drink, please select a Designated Driver, Uber/Lyft/Taxi/Bus/Train/Flight/Spaceship. Always wear your seatbelt. Remember, you’re not just doing this for your own safety, but for those around you. Thanks in advance. PS. If you must drink and still need to drive, please drink a 0.0% alcohol beer, such as Heineken 0.0%. It’s got the same taste of beer, and no alcohol. You can drink one, and still drive without getting in trouble. Highly recommended.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 313 & BENKYO RADIO 313.

I am a big fan of Jay-Z’s music sometimes. He talks about some very important topics. Unfortunately, I do have a problem about Jay-Z rapping about Cocaine stacks with Drake when Jay-Z is already a Billionaire. He is glorifying this, while poor black & brown people are going to jail over hard drugs. Remember what I have said a long time ago in a blog post, if you are an adult and you want to smoke weed, that’s your prerogative, but you should stay away from hard drugs, you’ve seen the before and after pictures. It is imperative that weed is legalized nationwide (please do not operate a motor vehicle under the influence though). It currently puts disenfranchised minorities in jail. I am fucking sick and tired of white people complaining that black people are gangstas. What fucking option did you give them? Why do so many little black and brown kids want to strictly be rappers or play sports? Why can’t they aspire to be doctors, lawyers, or hold office? You need to invest in those communities. (see old jetlag radio episode 083 songs (“upgrade”, “ghetto” ). You need to tell them education is fun. You need to make education cheap or free. Education is a ticket out of the hood. Education is to ensure a woman does not have to work street corners. Get an education. It’s time to put pressure on Joe Biden to make college tuition-free. America is spending more money putting people in private jails than educating people. This is fucking ridiculous. A lot of people ask me for favors. You’re asking me to do something about Mass Incarceration? I’m gonna do something about it. Kendrick Lamar, please include a song about this on your upcoming new album after your long hiatus.

Also, rap music is not strictly about big titties and flashing a bunch of dollar bills in the air. I suggest all these new rappers to shut the fuck up when they do that. You remember my favorite old rappers when I was growing up? The Cash Money Records guys and Master P? Yeah, where did they go? Do you have any idea how much I miss BG and how I want to see a new album? Please be humble. You do not know where you will be in 10 years. Chamillionaire has had a lot of wisdom lately, check him out. Also, I suggest you listen to some old cassettes of Nas or Wu-Tang.

Stop making snitches jokes, you look like an imbecile. There are about 800,000 trafficked women in the world per year. Something needs to be done.

Also, you can gossip all you want calling someone a fag or a pussy. It will backfire.

Do you know who created the bookclub for the Fight Club author official website when it first originated? Go ahead. Ask around.

Listen to Mr. T. Don’t be a fool, stay in school.

Currently watching a few old G.I. Joe movies.

Until next time!

As a reminder, this is just my personal opinion and you should make your own decisions when you decide to invest. I believe 2021 and beyond will be a great year for CryptoCurrency. And I want to assure you that many of us will keep Elon Musk in check. He cannot no longer casually make tweets that ruin the market here and there. He is 50 years old. Interpol is well aware that Mr. Musk MADE MORE MONEY FROM BITCOIN THAN FROM SELLING CARS. THAT IS SUSPICIOUS. He manipulated the market in his favor, then dumped the stock. If he was black, he’d already be in jail. Right now, we have black and brown kids in jail for weed. But it’s okay for Elon Musk to get away with this shit? No more. Do not take us for retards. It will backfire. Anyway, for great coverage about CryptoCurrency, listen to actual experts, such as Kevin Rose and his guests on his Modern Finance show.

I love my Razer laptop, it’s where I do the majority of my work. Alas, I must mention that it’s great when you plug it in to a monitor and use keyboard & mouse. It’s a powerful gaming machine, (but can it run Crysis!?! Yes it can) and it runs Cyberpunk 2077 much better than on PS4 regular. It’s awfully heavy on the lap. I prefer my MacBook Pro for that. There is a new Razer 14 option, I might have to look at that, or when the next MacBook 14/16 come out.

Until next time!

  • There’s never just one reason. Possible causes are stress, anxiety, caffeine, the news, alcohol, social media, working too much, not having work to do, and blue light—all of which are arguably artifacts of our productivity-obsessed culture. For most people, cutting them out entirely is near impossible because they’re so baked into the way we live.

    Sleeplessness was already at what the World Health Organization called “epidemic” levels even before Covid-19. The pandemic has made those feelings more widespread and intense, which can lead to a condition some health experts have termed “coronasomnia.”
