What’s up guys, It’s July 15th, 2024. Here’s another VLOG from my official YouTube. Don’t forget to enjoy my latest videogames livestreams. I know YouTube makes it difficult to watch them on TV with the YouTube app, and I know someone is doing that on purpose. Soon I will livestream on Twitch again, but it’s important to be on YouTube, simply because there are a lot of places around the world that do not have a Twitch account. I was Twitter-famous, someday I’ll be BLUESKY & MASTODON-famous, and someday I’ll be YouTube & Twitch famous. Let’s hope that it does. Enough chatters online means I’ll finally be able to purchase my first new car, preferably a German Engineering Sports Wagon full-size sedan. The Audi RS6 Avant GT is soon available, the BMW M5 Touring won’t be here for months, someday we have to convince Audi to bring the RS5 Avant and the RS4 Avant to USA, and BMW to bring the BMW M3 Touring & M4 Touring to USA. In the meanwhile, I have to save the VW CEO from either Germany or USA, it seems to be held hostage because the Golf R Wagon, the Passat R Wagon, the Arteon R Wagon, including BLACK EDITION are all missing, including from North America. Even worst, the ID.X Performance is not ready, and the ID.RS (introduce RS to the VW Family) is not ready either. Tell Performance VW magazine to make it cheaper to USA fans. That’s a really expensive magazine for USA audiences. Thanks in advance.

Break Down Barriers With the Help of SAP’s Digital Skills Initiative [SAP] #SAP #IwantToWorkAtSAP

What’s up, everybody! Here is a new VLOG from my YouTube official account. Thankfully le Nouveau Front Populaire won the 2nd round of the Elections Legislatives in France. Unfortunately, nobody had the majority of the votes. There’s still a lot of work to do, hopefully there will be a new NFP Prime Minister. In addition, England did not fall to the Extreme-Right, which would have been dangerous, especially since everybody was Extremely Hot (La Chaleur) due to the weather, and they simply could not handle it, especially with Great Britain being in the Semi-Finals of the Euro 2024. Holland, Netherlands, Pays-Bas (Country that does down), with the miracle of millions of fans and supporters drinking Heineken, the beer of choice for the Champions League, were able to go to the next round of the competition. In amazing fashion, every elder heroes in the French Military were together, drinking PASTIS, having the loudest party ever, praying, wishing, to any being, supreme or not, for France to go to the Semi-Finals. Spain, home of Ibiza, also went to the Semi-Finals. Unfortunately, for Spain, my father lost his wallet in that godforsaken country, which had a photo of his wife, my mother, from their wedding, in a war-torn country under fire by the Soviet Union. Their only original photo from that day. Needless to say, France will beat Spain, with the firepower of Zidane and other former World Cup winners, such as Didier himself. Looking forward to the next couple of days of the competition. I am sorry, I had a terrible weekend, I just saved the world, again. Again? Yes, and it was the July 4th weekend, and I still didn’t get a new vehicle. American Dream and Way of Life under jeopardy. They really want me to do it, they want me to lift the Pyramids of Egypt. I am sick of their bullshit, I want a new car, now. PS, le RN qui perd, le NFP qui gagne, c’était un putain d’miracle.

Until Next Time!
