Hi there! I just heard some news that Starbucks is gearing up to release 4,000 AI-Powered Coffee Machines. That’s great, but don’t get rid of the baristas! The reason why I do my work/study from the local coffee shop is because of the atmosphere. As much as I love Technology, I don’t want my coffee to come from a robot.

I was very sad that 2K shut down the 2K18 servers! But now that means I have to rush through 2K19 before they mess up with those servers. Almost done with FIFA 19 campaigns, can’t wait to boot up FIFA 20, maybe I’ll get to play against Ochocinco, but he’ll probably obliterate me since he’s so good at FIFA.

While I use MS Project 2019, I really wish Omnifocus 3 would come up with a Windows version.

If you got your ballot, get ready to vote in Democratic Primaries! Go Bernie!

I really hope 49ers win the SuperBowl! It would display great support to Kap, because of the ridiculous amount of racism against him. It’s literally a bunch of old white men telling a black guy he is not allowed to work. It’s getting ridiculous. He needs his job. Just like all of us need our jobs to keep ourselves afloat.

Regarding the Impeachment Hearings, Bolton just needs to testify. Forget your stupid book, just testify, then worry about your stupid book-deal. Another thing, no-one is gonna take this Senate for serious ever again if they let Trump off the hook. Listen to the 17 intelligence agencies. There are 17 of them. Every one of them explained it to y’all. Also, Trump is having a lot of trouble with the law, and so is Netanyahu (corruption). Mueller warned us (448-pages), but his hands are tied. He needs Justice Roberts to deal with this. Everybody’s eyes are on Justice Roberts.

I wanted to remind everyone again that January is Human-Trafficking Awareness month. Please educate yourself how you can help to stop this horrific problem. Look up information on various websites, including State Department, FBI & Interpol.

Death Stranding is an extremely hard game, but I will continue to play it, because the story is bewildering.

The Fast & Furious 9 trailer is during the Superbowl! Can’t wait!

One last thing, yes, often people roll their eyes at PSAs, but please remember that during Super Bowl weekend, you gotta get a designated driver, a taxi, uber, lyft, bus, train, etc. Or, you could just drink a 0.0% beer. Just remember, the Super Bowl can be great, but after the celebrations, it’s important to get home safe. I thank you.

Until Next Time!

Hello there! I got to visit the Los Angeles Air Force Base, which had some great displays regarding history of NASA. It was really cool.

Lately, I’m watching the season 2 of Project Blue Book on History Channel.

I’m reading the Naruto Manga. I also plan on reading a book about the 100-year of struggle for Palestinians. Unfortunately a lot of people are afraid to speak out on their behalf, but I’m not, because you always have to stick up for the little guy. They deserve their freedom just like the rest of us. A Two-State-Solution, living side-by-side with their neighbors, in peace and harmony (1967 borders).

I’m listening to a whole lot of new music including new releases from Anjunabeats label.

I suggest you watch the Tenet trailer, it looks like it’s going to be a great movie! It has to do with time-travel. Christopher Nolan is such a great director.

I like to do this with my Twitter account. i.e. If I’m at 71K tweets, I go back to JETLAG RADIO 071, and what was there, the songs “Black” and “Mesa” as in “Black Mesa” from Half-Life, and as you know, we finally got Gabe to announce Half-Life 3. If I’m at 54K likes, I go back to JETLAG RADIO 054, and we have “flight to Jupiter,” which is of course a lot of Interstellar chatter, because we found 2 interstellar objects in our Solar System, the next mission is to find the 3rd interstellar object. Pretty cool, no?

Impeachment process is inching closer and closer. They basically called Trump a dictator during the trial. He is holding the country hostage for his special interests. House of Intelligence committee is doing their job. It’s time for the GOP to listen to the Intelligence Community, and the will of the American people. The American people demand that we go through Impeachment. Read the U.S. Constitution. Did Trump violate it? Yes, he did. Do you realize how hard it is for a normal lawyer to work in the judicial system while this farce is going on? Come on. We cannot delay Impeachment any longer. We know Democrats will vote for it, and we know the GOP will try to let Trump walk. The GOP can try, but then they will all lose their local future elections, and they know it. Do the right thing. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach.

Not much time left before IOWA for Bernie Sanders! He must win! Keep up the good work! Keep raising awareness! Billionaires are making their billions on the back of poor black and brown people! No more! We’re gonna get a President who is finally going to work on Income Inequality, and not for the top 1% of the 1%!

I’m making progress on NBA 2K18! I hope to finally start NBA 2K19 soon before I finally get to NBA 2K20 (website).

Liverpool is so strong this year! Have you seen the Premier League Table? Sheesh.

I want to thank DHS for their latest Strategy to combat Human Trafficking. You can read more on this on this link here.

Don’t forget to watch Rolex 24 Hours race this weekend!

Until Next Time!

Hello there! 2020 means a whole lot of new music! There is so much to go through. The catalog (especially on Electronic Music) is enormous. As you can tell by now, JETLAG RADIO is about all kinds of music, with BENKYO RADIO meant to be more chill and relaxing to get some work or studying to. With LAMBDA RADIO and QUANTUM RADIO, you have some great “Progressive House” music in there. With GT RADIO, you can find a lot of great Drum & Bass. Finally, with TECHNO RADIO, there is Techno, you got it! As someone who grew up listening to this music, I love sharing it with you all because it appears that many of you have never heard of some of these great artists! That’s while I compiled a “DJs” list, which I plan on expanding, little by little.

As I write this while drinking coffee, I am reminded by one of my heroes, Kevin Rose. He understands that while grunt work is important, but so is health, and family. Hence the reason why I will double if not triple the amount of meditation I normally do. Work/life balance is extremely important.

As we enter winter, if you live in places where there is snow, be sure to always check the weather, and drive safe.

Only a few more months until we vote for Bernie Sanders as our next President! I can’t wait!!! IOWA is the focus right now! Let’s go!

Until Next Time!

Hi there! I am extremely thankful for Sunrise Movement to have endorsed Bernie Sanders. It is very excellent news. They made the correct selection since Bernie Sanders is the only one who can fight fossil fuels billionaires (Big Oil Cartels). Many of you are back to school, which is great! Don’t listen to the naysayers. I know a lot of teenagers listen to rap music, and I do too, and some of them, even some that even use the expression “fame not clout.” That’s gotta be the stupidest dumbest expression I’ve heard. Stop telling the kids that it’s all about money and bitches because it’s not. Drake, don’t turn into rapper Future, because he glorifies drug use to young rappers who OD’. I would much rather save the world on a daily basis and get a small salary than live a very superficial life of glamour. You all remember Diddy: “More Money, More Problems.” You should strive for a good education, a good job, and find love. You want to be a gangster? Good luck, have fun later in life when you start having children. I love Snoop, but imagine how embarrassed his children are about some of his lyrics. And that’s coming from someone who loves his songs with Tupac. When Mr. T says don’t be a fool, stay in school, you’d be surprised how important that is.

Tensions with Iran must calm down. If Sec Pompeo rather run for office in Kansas than get back to work, let someone else do the job. Thank God that Former SecDef Mattis is going to have a keynote in Utah, we all could use his infinite wisdom.

I saw Watchmen season 1, pretty interesting! I guess no season 2 for a while.

Very excited about Season 2 of that History Channel TV show about UFOs! Just remember, if you see something weird in the sky usually it’s just a SR-71 or nowadays a SR-72. They’re pretty fast! They’re gonna showcase the new plane in Top Gun 2, which is great.

Looks like the PS5 got announced! That’s pretty cool.

Until Next Time!

Hello there! I’d like to start by stating the fact that I am so thankful that it is 2020, because as you know, hindsight is 20/20. 2 years ago I was a bit miserable, but the last year has been wonderful. I’m so proud of all the hard work that volunteers are doing to reduce the media blackout on Bernie Sanders, who will be our nominee, because he is the only one who will fix our political system. Devos is screwing over all these students who cannot afford to pay back their student loans. Something must be done. That’s why I’m supporting Bernie. Every American has a right to an education, should he or she choose to use it.

I visited Alcatraz, and it was pretty cool. While taking the ferry back, I saw a boat full of shipping containers. As you remember from an old blogpost, those damn boats sometimes contain terrible illegal contraband, including human trafficking. There are extremely hard to find. But, they can still be found. That’s why many entities are working together to catch these bad guys. They can do it, but they need your help. Any tip you can give organizations like FBI and Interpol can make a huge difference. I thank you in advance.

It’s 2020. We have a LOT, a LOT, a LOT of work to do. We cannot fuck-up this election. Remember the idiotic system we are under. Winning 538. We WILL win the popular vote, but are we gonna win the Electoral college? There is so much stuff you can do. Get together, and get organized. Remember what they plan on doing, they’re gonna make it harder for non-white people to vote, like they do every election. Nobody needs a reminder from Dr. King or Malcolm X to know that’s wrong. We must not let them not play fair anymore. Remember what Obama has been working on regarding Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering must end. They can’t keep toying with the election maps.

Half-Life 3 comes out in a few months so I’m gonna replay the first two.

As far as the escalation with Iran and Iraq goes, all I am at liberty to say is stick to diplomacy. Diplomacy is what prevents us from warfare. Warfare is the last resort. If we don’t need to go, we don’t. Every time we get close to Peace in Afghanistan, someone fucks something up and we go back to zero. It’s been 18 fucking years. We need the Afghan Govt and the Taliban to end the conflict, and finally understand that women and children have a right to an education. Stop fighting. The Air Force is watching you from Space. If we wanted to, they could obliterate the whole field, but, we don’t want to do that. Let’s value life. Let’s value civilian life. But, if you’re a bad guy, we will catch you. Let the people of Afghanistan live in peace and prosperity. It’s been 40 fucking years of war. You’ve seen the damn Coexist sticker. Please get along. Please get along. If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for your children, and grandchildren. Thank you.

No more ignoring impeachment hearings. It’s time for the Senate to get to work. You’ve been caught, it’s time to face the consequences, Mr Trump. You cannot disregard the fact that you’ve attempted to play wag the dog.

Until Next Time!

Hi there! Hope everybody had a nice safe Christmas & a Happy New Year. I’d like to give a big shoutout to everybody who still has to work during the holidays. Keep working hard, because hard work pays off, in due time. I heard that Keanu Reeves is releasing John Wick 4 and Matrix 4 on the same day! That’s going to be amazing, I look forward to both, especially Matrix 4, because it means that Neo will bring Peace on Earth for EVERYBODY not just white people.

I really want to thank the makers of the Transformers cartoon, especially since the next movie series is so far away. For all of you that grew up on The Fast & The Furious, there is now a cartoon which you can introduce to those young ones. I also enjoy introducing them to the Spider-Man Disney TV series, with the great reminder that “With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.”

It’s 2020! There are many things to look forward to, including the Presidential Elections. Don’t be misguided, just because I’m liberal, just because I’m patriotic, just because I’m an Analyst doesn’t mean I demean the endgame. The endgame is that we must elect President Bernie Sanders to change this system. We cannot let Wall Street and the Healthcare Industry continue to profiteer off billion of dollars poor and sick people. The common American demands more. It demands help. [This statement has been redacted by the Department of Defense] Especially if you have an education. That’s what society taught us. Study hard, and you will get a job. We need a leader to help us with that vision for our country. We must pay teachers a decent salary so they stay in our school. We must employ more minority teachers, who speak multiple languages and can communicate with the students.

Finally, remember that the journey of life is not fun if it’s solo. May this be the year that you find that special someone if you haven’t already. Find yourself a woman that makes you think of “The Family Man,” or “You’ve Got Mail” not “Gone Girl.”

I got some goodies for Christmas including FIFA 20 and NBA 2K20. Can’t wait.

I saw the new Star Wars movie, wasn’t thrilled about the ending, I’m more excited about Baby Yoda, and it appears that we will see more of him in 2020. Hooray!

Special thanks to Hasan Minaj for his episode on Mental Health! Stop the Stigma!

Reminder: just because Obama releases his latest “favorite movies/music/books of the year,” doesn’t mean he is the only person in the world allowed to do that. Many of us have been doing this for years. Start listing your favorite movies/music/movies/games, you may only have 10 people listening to you, but those can turn into 100, and eventually a 1000 or more. Persevere, you can do it!

Until Next Time!

Hi there! getting out a few updates in a row in order to reach a milestone. Anyway, it’s December! Hopefully everybody likes eating their chocolate from their Christmas chocolate calendar, something a lot of us did as children. I’d like to raise awareness on this blogpost about a particular sad ordeal that takes place during the holidays. During the holidays, teenagers often get into unnecessary fights with their parents, and are at risk to become runaway kids. Now, the problem with that is these teenagers then become immediately at risk for human trafficking. Please watch the warning signs. Have that discussion. There are many organizations who fight this problem worldwide such as the FBI and Interpol. I’d like to mention DeliverFund in case you were unfamiliar with that name. They have a bunch of folks from Intelligence Agencies doing great work throughout the United States. Check them out.

In other news, I know that many folks are upset about Space Force. It’s true, we need things like funding for students (Free Tuition), help for minorities and immigrants, Medicare for All, etc etc. I know Space Force sounds like a joke, but trust me, travel anywhere around the world in less than an hour is pretty fucking impressive. All I can say is OMFG HOLY SHIT REDACTED REDACTED. Anyway, it’s true we need to stop spending govt waste funding, but if you knew some of the stuff that the Military is really working on (Quantum Computing / Nanotechnology), you’d be a tad bit more impressed. This doesn’t negate the fact that I am in perfect agreement with Bernie Sanders, the only candidate who repeatedly mentioned the expression “Military-Industrial-Complex,” a topic that every other Candidate is too afraid to touch. We need these Wars to end in Peace, even if it’s not a “business-incentive.” We gotta quit going to war just to foot a bill of billions of dollars to the American Taxpayer.

I want to thank Obama for the new Obamacare commercial, don’t forget to get health coverage, it’s extremely important. The little zen garden was pretty funny too.

Remember the PSAs from CHP. I know a lot of kids don’t think cops aren’t cool, and this or that, but damnit, just wear your stupid seatbelt. Even if you’re driving around the block. Always wear your seatbelt. If you’re a DD, drink a 0.0% beer. You got your Uber, Lyft, Bus, Train, Plane, Spaceship, just damnit, please wear your seatbelt, I beg you. I thank you for listening.

Hi there! I hope everybody is getting into the holiday spirit. I wanted to share with you a show that I found fascinating, it’s called “Atypical.” It might be a great show for you to watch yourself and your family and peers. It’s a great portal for folks who are either on the spectrum, or know people who are on the spectrum. It’s also a great show to share to others when they discredit you for your mental illness. This TV show along with “The Good Doctor” are great attempts to share stories about people who have often been forgotten by society. There always is a stigma towards Mental Illness, this show attempts to fight that. I look forward to more work places who do not discriminate against Mental Illness, because it is against the law, and they will be reprimanded.

I watched the season finale of Silicon Valley! It was quite interesting! Great show, but now, what will be the next Startup show?

Lately, I’m listening to Madeon and Hayden James.

Until Next Time!

Hi there! It’s December! Therefore, be good, or Santa Claus won’t bring you presents.

I am extremely grateful that people heeded the warnings from Caltrans during Thanksgiving Break. Remember the importance of a Designated Driver, and drive safely, especially when it’s raining or snowing. Remember, the holidays are great, but only if we return home in one piece. Always wear that damn seatbelt, whether it is for a short or a long drive. It is imperative. Also, it’s not just don’t drink and drive, it’s also don’t smoke or do drugs while driving. It is of extreme importance. Your reaction time completely changes if you are not sober. Sometimes CHP will come to your school, and show you on the road how driving is like with beer goggles. As you will experience, it is extremely dangerous. That’s why If you drive drunk, you’re putting yourself at risk, and those around you. Not to mention, people who love you will be very sad.

I just finished “The Irishman.” I’m not a big fan of gangster movies like Obama (I prefer Sicario), but I want to thank Martin Scorsese for finally shedding a light on the Jewish Mafia. You see, sometimes soon after 9/11, the “Mafia Operating Super System AD-vertising or (MOSSAD v2) was implemented. They made a lot of money. It was very scary, and it took intelligence agencies more than decades to shed a light on the topic, and expose the evil that they were. The Military-Industrial-Complex made lots and lots of money. A lot of people in the Intelligence Community were completely mortified. It’s because war is big business. If there was Peace, there would be no business. This is why on tv, you see people trying to discredit candidates like Bernie Sanders. He wants to reunite our country, he wants to bring peace to our wars. If you saw the movie Vice, you know how George W. Bush’s VP Dick Cheney influenced him to get into Iraq. Bernie voted against Iraq. Remember the movie Green Zone with Matt Damon. He went in looking for WMDs, he kept asking “where the fuck are the WMDs?” His superiors told him, nobody cares. He was so mad. It’s very much like Catch-22, available on Hulu.

I’ve been watching the Netflix Documentary about 13 Novembre 2015. Tears came onto my eyes, and reminded me when I was in Church crying and completely devastated. How dare terrorists attack France. How dare they. There are a few times in my life I was extremely upset, this one was one of them. You might think French soldiers are a bunch of sissies who wear short shorts on base, but trust me, after 13 Novembre 2015, we do not fuck around.

I read that Former Secretary of State John Kerry has a new book about his days while working. I’m also thankful about his new initiative on Climate Change.

I’m not a huge religious person (I prefer Zen Buddhism), but I want to thank the Pope for going to Japan and talking about Nuclear Deterrence. I know people love going to the movies about Pearl Harbor, but in Japan, they remember the Atomic Bombs, and there are not happy campers.

Don’t be demoralized about your retail job these holidays. Many of us had to do it for years before working in the corporate or government world. Get your education, and then you won’t have to flip burgers forever.

The Weeknd has new music! His new album will be very good I’m sure, he sounds pretty pissed off, it reminds me of me at 33. Hopefully, he has more love songs than sad songs.

I hear there’s a new documentary on YouTube about the Ford GT, I can’t wait to watch it!

There was news about a Tron reboot! It’s going to be awesome!

Lately, I’m watching “My Name is Earl.”

Until Next Time!
