What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 205, BENKYO RADIO 205, and LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 040.

Here I was driving past a Bass Pro Shops, and I remember the very first time I walked in that store many many years ago, I found one thing very striking. You see, as soon as I walked inside, I said to myself, “the only two black people in the entire store are cleaning the floor? There’s clearly something wrong with this picture.” You see, the BLM movement has had frustrations for many years, and many of us are unfortunately oblivious to this. You need to understand this. Remember one of my previous blog posts. The difference between pulled over when you are white or black. It’s striking and it’s sad. We must all come together. We must not let white nationalists stir the pot and keep fighting among us. It’s gotten bad. It’s gonna to a point where a few people don’t see the difference, and are not “motivated” enough to vote for Biden. Are you fucking serious? Can you imagine 4 more years of this non-sense with Trump? You heard the Bob Woodward tapes. Trump knew about COVID-19’s impact back in Jan/Feb, and did not do enough to prevent the 200,000 deaths. It’s unforgivable. I plea with you to please vote for Joe Biden / Kamala Harris. If you ever want to wake up from this nightmare, if you want to return to normalcy and the ability to simply walk the streets or go places without wearing a mask, we need to elect Joe Biden. He will bring a realistic track towards a vaccine. Listen to the adults in the room. Dr. Fauci is an adult. He knows that there’s no way a vaccine can be ready by November. He knows it’s on its way, but we all have to work hard. We will get this done by 2021. Stay strong. In the meantime, wear a mask, use social-distancing. Don’t forget to get your flu shot too, because it’s flu season, and the last thing you need to worry on top of COVID-19 right now, is the flu.

Until next time!

The best way to make sure BLM are respected is for Biden to win and have Harris as VP. She can make sure the agenda does not forget about Black Lives Matter. Remember, protesting is important, but if the people don’t have the votes, we are stuck with 4 more years of Trump, something the American people cannot afford. As soon as you receive your voting ballot in the mail, fill it out, and go to a polling location and drop it off! #VoteBidenToSaveAmerica

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 203 & BENKYO RADIO 203. I’ve also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 039.

We have a very hot weekend on our hands, so please listen to officials about how to prevent power outages. I am very excited that more DJs are making ambient / LoFi music (looking forward to listen to Diplo’s new release). I finished Coffee Talk. It is an EXCELLENT game. I can’t emphasize how awesome it was. What you need to understand is that many of us understand the importance of therapy, and we do go to it, but even that is only a 30-45min session once in a while and it’s costly. This Coffee Talk less than $20 game was the most therapeutic experience I have had in the longest time. I cannot describe how much helpful it has been to my mental health, especially since many indoor seating in coffee shops are closed. The conversations, the music, and just drinking a hot cup of coffee made a wonderful combination. I’m not only directing this to women.. Men, as much as we love to pump our chests and act tough and all this and that, I think I speak for all of us that during this Coronavirus crisis, you’ve probably wanted to punch a hole in the wall. Well, trust me, play “Coffee Talk” and you will chill the f out. This game was so mellow and calm and helpful, I highly recommend it. I don’t just want a sequel, I want the next 10 iterations.

As I use my highlighter in my Foreign Affairs magazine, I am feeling a bit more cheerful than less than two months are left until we can finally vote and elect the 46th President of these United States, Joe Biden. He’s gonna do it. He has a huge team on stand-by, and we are ready to go and clean this godforsaken mess that Trump has left us. A pandemic without proper course of action, and a recession. We will wake up from this nightmare, but we cannot lose hope. Stay cheerful. There are Buddhist monks who can stay under a freezing waterfall for hours. I ask you to please stay strong for less than 2 more months. We vote, we bring Joe Biden in January 2021, and the recovery begins. Let’s get this done. Let’s save America. She is worth it.

I watched TENET and it was an excellent movie, highly recommended. The soundtrack is very good too.

NBA 2K21 is out! So is the new Avengers game! Even the new Tony Skater remastered is released!

Have a safe Labor Day Weekend!

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 202 & BENKYO RADIO 202. I recently watched the Bill & Ted trilogy, and I thought it was pretty good. We definitely need a song that will unite the world. While I am sad that this is yet another year where I am unable to visit Amsterdam, I am so excited to attend ADE Pro 2020, since the conference will be virtual this year. I really want to hear from some of my favorite heroes speak (such as Jean-Michel Jarre), and collab with some of my favorite DJs.

I finished watching CORPORATE on Comedy Central, it was definitely an interesting watch.

As #BLM continues to be in the news, I decided to watch “The Green Book” again. It’s such an important movie. We have to say it like it is, Trump refuses to acknowledge the dangers of white nationalists. Do you know why? Because he wants them to vote for him in November. We cannot let these haters win. We must vote in numerous numbers this November. We must vote by mail, more than 2 weeks in advance, fill out our ballots, and dropping them off at a polling location. Only about 60 more days to go. We can do this.

Please stop feeling disillusioned. We’re almost back on track. About 2 more months of the Trump show, and the nightmare is almost over, but only if Biden wins. That’s why it’s important for Lawyers to ask the Pentagon to make sure the elections are held fairly and that the results stick, and Trump finally leaves office.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here’s my latest report. It’s Hurricane Season, and we need Governors to step up their leaderships because Trump isn’t the man for the job, and may have too much pride to let Mike Pence in charge of this topic. California continues to fight fires. An issue we ought to raise is the jailed firefighters who only make like $2/day doing the job. That is simply unfair and they need adequate compensation, especially since we don’t want California to burn. We had a short drizzle of rain, but we need a rainstorm over California. Let’s hope we get some in September and we don’t have to wait an additional month.

Some of you think you are “too cool for school.” Stop with that mentality. The hustle industry does not come with a 401K nor a health plan. You can work on your side projects, but you need to have your education. It’s vital. You need to keep your cool. It is very hard to keep your cool. It takes time. It takes years of experience. When we complain about “sitting at home” or “wearing a mask at the groceries store” there is a grunt right now in the military, and he’s walking through mud. Do you know what it’s like to be knee-deep in mud? It’s not pleasant. So I am tired when I see so many youth complaining that there isn’t anything to do. You have access to so many gadgets. When we were your age, we didn’t spend all day on Fortnite, we were on the playground. Just because you can’t go on the playground doesn’t mean you should stop physical activity. I find a yoga mat very pleasant. Even during your Netflix watching, you can simply lay on your yoga mat and do some crunches. Everybody made fun of that Peloton bike, but now even I want one.

I also want to address the fact that we need to investigate this COVID-19 crisis about the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and WalMart family. They have increased their wealth by BILLIONS, while the rest of us are making little crumbs. This is not fair. Everybody deserve fair compensation. Everybody deserve a paycheck. That’s why Universal Basic Income is such an ingenious idea. It’s not that people are lazy, they just don’t like doing work for free. In fact, people in UBI were very motivated to work. When you don’t have income, you are stressed out, you cannot pay your rent/mortgage/bills/food/etc. As a result, working becomes stressful. That’s why when you have a salary, you’re emotionally better, and you can perform well. When you see someone’s resume who is applying to a job, don’t consider them overqualified. We are living in a PANDEMIC. People desperately need jobs to put food on the table. Don’t deny them a chance to be an asset to your company or organization just because you think they’re overqualified.

Black Lives Matter. Stop shooting black people like hotcakes. This is ridiculous. You can’t let a white kid walk around with a AR-15 while a black kid gets shot for a candy bar. Obama isn’t a substitute teacher, he can’t just come back to the White House temporarily and give y’all a lecture. Everybody that hates the Trump Administration but still need to work needs to hold down the fort for less than 70 days until the next Administration (Biden/Harris) takes over. Then a lot of work needs to be done.

Stop thinking Democrats are unpatriotic. There are plenty of people in the Military/Intelligence community who are Democrats but wouldn’t dare to say so for fear of losing their jobs.

We gotta stay steady for less than 70 days. We can do this. Find a hobby that keeps you sane. You can do it. I believe in you. I’m going through my entire to-be-read list.

Thank you for making a videogame documentary on Netflix (HIGH SCORE). I hope there are more. There are so many unofficial ones on YouTube, but it’s nice to see them on netflix.

I was wondering if Spectrum could put all the seasons of “Mad About You” on Streaming, not just their app. It’d be greatly appreciated. I think it’s a wonderful story.

Dear Joe Biden, please get your staff to write a new National Security Strategy (NSS). Americans are super stressed out about this Jenga game of T-MINUS 70 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION. You need to really put on paper a plan that shows how you will truly get us out of this mess. You also need to show that this time, it’s gonna be different for people of color. They can’t deal with this amount of discrimination and violence on them. We need you.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 200, BENKYO RADIO 200, and LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 038.

I am so excited about this milestone. I wanted to hit blogpost about episode 200, and I’ve finally accomplished it. It took a long time to get here!

There are some amazing things you can do with music. Music can help you communicate not just with other humans, but other entities on Earth, and the rest of the Universe.

I really miss going to the Coffee Shop, because that is where I did a lot of my work, but in the meantime, I heard about this Coffee Talk game, so I thought I’d give it a try!

In the meantime, having Coffee with my girlfriend from home raises my spirits every day while I work on Project Management and various other analytical functions. Music as well, of course!

We did not get a third interstellar object news (yet) but there is some Supernova news. Be sure to check it out.

Love y’all! About 75 days to go until the Presidential Elections! Let’s elect Biden and leave the Trump nightmare once and for all!

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 199 & BENKYO RADIO 199. There’s also the latest 4 other podcasts. We really need to talk about Climate Change. We put so much emphasis on COVID19, and we forgot to talk about Climate Change, and now it’s catching up to us. Time to let Al Gore speak more. He deserves to be heard. Have you seen these temperatures? 130F!?! That is too hot!

The DNC wrapped up, so remember, gather everybody to vote for Biden in November, or else, as Former President Obama put it, we face extinction. Everybody is tired of the Trump Reality Show. We got a little over 2 months left until the Election. The world cannot wait any longer. Let’s vote. Let’s get this done.

Very excited that PSG is in the Champions League final, but very sad that Lyon did not make it in. Why don’t they have a third place match in UCL? It’s also a shame that Manchester United didn’t make it in the Europa Final, but we’re in the Champions League for the new season, which is almighty important.

Until next time!

Hopefully we don’t have to wait too many weeks until rain returns! If you consider a rain dance, may I suggest dancing to the “Dancing is what to do” remix by Krono. Let’s get some rain in California! Firefighters would be forever grateful.

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 197 & BENKYO RADIO 197! The DNC Convention is taking place right now. You can watch the coverage, but just remember, at the end, you still need to vote. That means voting by mail, by filling out your voting ballot when it comes in the mail, then going to drop-off ballot location. Don’t mail through regular mail, since our beloved President Trump is using his influence to mess with mailboxes. Stay calm, because the FBI is still monitoring the situation (not to be confused with The Situation from MTV’s Jersey Shore), and any attempt to mess with the Election will be punished severely, whether now or later. Bernie Sanders made a great speech. Michelle Obama made a great speech. Barack Obama released a new music playlist. That’s nice. Maybe he could support Medicare For All finally? Or has he been threatened by Big Pharma? Bernie Sanders cannot be the only one on the subject matter.

I’d like to focus this blogpost on THERMAL WORK LIMIT (TWL). As I mentioned in a recent blogpost, it is hot as hell. Well, it’s gonna get hotter and hotter. Therefore, please, if you are a construction project manager, you must put extra effort and make sure all your construction workers have access to water, not just here and there, but for their entire shift. Don’t mess around. Hydration is important. Breaks are important. The same goes for Firefighters, they must stay hydrated. They are working long hours, and need water.

I want to thank USDOT, CalTrans & PG&E for cutting down many trees near Powerlines on the countryside in Folsom, CA. This will prevent wildfires. Good job.

Until next time!

Wear a mask, social-distance!

Raise awareness about the importance of voting for Biden/Harris!

Until next time!
