This is a very important blogpost update, so please listen carefully.

It has come to my attention that not enough people are understanding the gravity of the situation with the COVID-19 virus. As a result, I will explain it to you using an analogy that will make sense. In Dragon Ball Z, Trunks came from the future reminding that Goku will fall ill, unless he takes a special medication (which was created by his mother Bulma’s Capsule Corporation). He says that in the future, the disease is treatable, but currently, it is not. This is what happened in 2020. We did not have a COVID-19 vaccine until Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson worked their asses off to get one. And now, 99% of people who died from COVID-19 were NOT vaccinated. Please get vaccinated. It really makes a difference. COVID-19 can cause organ failure. Don’t take the risk.

I have been asked by the Military if the WHO could rename the Delta variant of COVID-19 to a new name. It is not good for Troop morale. Thanks in advance. Although, there might be a reason why it’s named Delta…

Until next time!

As always, I have a ton of work to do and I just want to play Gran Turismo, but it’s time to take a step back once in a while and relax. Also, due to broken promises from Intel Corporation recruiters (they did this more than 10 times in the past 3 years, asked me to sign paperwork (for Right-To-Represent), and it didn’t materialize into a job with a paycheck), I am supporting AMD as a result, and as it stands, I plan to purchase AMD CPU or GPU in the future. It’s one thing to insult a man after one day. Insulting a man after 1,200 days without a paycheck is another. Also, I suggest Intel Corporation stop their fake “Microprocessing-chip crisis.” Or maybe we should all switch to Microsoft’s Arm-based chips or Apple’s M1, M1X, and M2 chips? You catch my drift. Thanks in advance. Google is going to make chips too so, y’all better just get back to manufacturing.

The War in Afghanistan is hopefully coming to an end. As you know, from reading Nafeez Ahmed’s books on the war on terror: (“The War on Freedom” and “The War on Truth”), it was an incredibly long and difficult journey to combat the “Military-Industrial-Complex.” Only Bernie Sanders had the audacity to say something against this during the previous Presidential Elections. Finally, President Joe Biden came to his senses and realized, no more, it’s time to bring the troops home. Alas, what about the turmoil in the aftermath? CIA is already worried about a potential Civil War. What will happen? What about the women, children, and the youth of Afghanistan? What about the Translators who helped the U.S. Military, will they receive refuge fast? There are so many questions. Will Private-Military-Contractors (PMCs) continue the fight? We are fighting a multi-trillion-dollar industry. Hopefully, the threat of Nuclear Deterrence will remind the Taliban that any attempt to return Afghanistan to life in the late 90s, where women can’t go to school and music is banned, must be threatened by the U.S. Air Force who can see everything from the Sky.

Please get vaccinated if you haven’t already. 99% of people who died from COVID-19 were not vaccinated. You do the math.

Top Gun 2 has been delayed to November 2021.

G.I Joe Origins Story Snake Eyes will be released in a few weeks!

As I’m eating my sunflower seeds, I’d like to thank everybody who skipped fireworks this year. You have contributed to California having less fires around its state. Thank you very much. It was imperative that Firefighters do not have to deal with this shit, because they are working very hard. We did it. We survived May, and June. It’s now July. We need to stay vigilant over July and August and pray for rain, which probably won’t come until September, but we can stay hopeful. I want to thank all various Firefighter Chiefs for making sure many country roads who had trees within powerlines have been cut down. You have prevented sparks that could start fires. Good job.

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.

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!
