The 13 Best New Hip-Hop Songs this Week [XXL Magazine]

What’s up, everybody! It’s Wednesday, January 1st, 2025. It’s the beginning of a new year. For some people that means new year’s resolutions. Resolutions that will probably be broken after the end of the month. As for myself, as previously mentioned, I’m separated from my wife, so I’m not having the greatest time. Let’s try to stay upbeat. Since I’m technically not tied to Central Valley California (parts of it were a #MAGAcult stronghold, unfortunately) anymore, I may consider moving to France, whether temporarily for the 4 years of the #TrumpNightmareEraVolumeII, or maybe forever, depending on what happens. A lot of us are familiar with the differences. In USA, we have large houses, but “joy de vivre” is crap. A lot of times, you don’t even know your neighbors, you don’t even talk to your friends from College/University anymore, things like that. In France, living arrangements are minuscules, but way of life are much better. While I love driving, in France, modes of transportations are so much nicer, meaning you can literally take the metro, bus, train, etc everywhere. With a European passport, you can travel the entire European Union. It’s impressive. Let’s a lot to do. Between 2025 and 2027, France has to get ready so that the RN (Rassemblement National) does not win the Presidential Elections in 2027. The Left is doing everything right, even won the previous 2 elections, and somehow someway, President Macron refuses to add a NFP (Nouveau Front Populaire) Premier Ministre ou Première Ministre.

Until Next Time!

I saw them for New Year’s Eve about a decade ago in SF for a DJ Concert. It was awesome display by the French DJ-duo. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my prescription meds, and had to drive straight home after the concert back to Sacramento. I was so mad. Goes to show, when you plan on going somewhere for the night, always carry your prescription meds for the night, and make sure your name is on the label from your pharmacy, just in case.

Anyway, it’s Thursday, it’s Medical Journals and Articles day, so obviously we’re gonna add some great links in the world of Medicine. As someone with Flat Feet, who deals with Mental Health and has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I highly recommend the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center if you live in Columbus, Ohio. Obviously, I will write a similar article someday about the University of Cincinnati (UC Health Medical Center) as well. And we gotta give a shout out once again to that MEDEVAC from 2010. Where are they now? For sure.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Wednesday, December 25th 2024. It’s Christmas! I hope that all of you received a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S from your spouse / parents / relatives, wherever you are on the globe. If you haven’t and you’re still in High School, get a part-time job, and after a few weeks, you'll surely be able to afford one. Please understand that the part-time job hourly-rate of pay has been augmented in the state of California thanks to Governor Gavin Newsom. PS. No, I did not get a new car/vehicle for Christmas, not the Audi nor the BMW, nothing. PPS. If I had gas money and help, I’m sure I could bring my VW to the Bodyshop in Fremont, where some amazing guys would love to work on it, and completely transform it. No, I don’t have a bunch of cash, but I did complete GT RADIO all the way to 886 (my Drum n Bass podcast, inspired by Initial D & MF Ghost), which was inside season 2 of MF Ghost. I miss you, Fujiwara Tofu Bistro. See you soon. Please make some BENTO BOXES. I adore those.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Tuesday, December 24th, 2024, aka Christmas’ Eve! What a wonderful time to be amongst family. If you cannot, due to work, weather, or other particular reason, I feel for you. My wife and I separated recently, thus, no Halloween, no Thanksgiving, and now no Christmas together came quite as a shock to my well-being. Anyway, I’m trying to get a deal done at #IntelCorp trying to save #IntelFolsom, assuming they offer me a job offer as a Project Manager, along with a Company Car/Vehicle. There’s also a lot of news to worry about in the world of World Affairs (Affaires Étrangères) therefore I might need to record a few new YouTube videos / VLOGs. Also, I wish I could go shopping at the various car dealerships in my local area. If only.
