What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1080 & BENKYO RADIO 1080. Now, Skateboarding is fun, but please, use protective gears before doing stunts. Tony Hawk made so many tricks, but also had so many injuries. He loves the sport but I myself want to remind you, don’t hurt yourself over and over again, just for a video. A 1080 is extremely difficult. It will take you years if not decades to perform such a trick. Meanwhile, you can enjoy such a performance in the comfort of your home inside a videogame, such as Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 which was already featured on my blog. This new Skate Sim is entitled SESSION, currently free for download on PSN on both Playstation 5 and Playstation 4. Enjoy.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1079 & BENKYO RADIO 1079. It’s a saddening topic, 1979, the year in which the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The U.S. Military did a lot of great work via the Mujahideen in order to remove Russian Troops, only for Afghanistan to suffer a turmoil of 20 years of civil war, before the Taliban took over, from which then, the U.S. helped again, and eventually left 20 years thereafter. The entire operation was designed to simply reallocate the entire control the Opium flow throughout the planet, including the United States. Scholars and Researchers and Economists including myself ask the question: why was Germany & Japan reconstructed and built after World War II after they were utterly destroyed, but Afghanistan was not? What makes it so different? Because they are brown people? Thankfully, there are great organizations who are always thinking hard about the people of Afghanistan. The Son of Commander Massoud, Commander Ahmad Shah, took control of the Northern Alliance. Military people and Veterans always think about Afghanistan, and know full well its story is nowhere near over. The U.S. Air Force has worked on years of R&D regarding their next generation spy plane, the Son of Blackbird, the Darkstar, placing fear and dominance into the minds of any Taliban on the ground in Afghanistan who dares commit atrocities towards the Afghan population, which is currently experiencing a depression and a famine, given the utter despicable handling of its nation. The Taliban has zero comprehension on how to manage an entire nation. The United Nations continue to work with the State Department, to figure out how to unfreeze billions of assets so that Afghans in its country can go buy groceries for their families. Project Leave No Man Behind is currently helping SIV families, families of Interpreters who have worked tirelessly to help U.S. Forces defeat terrorists. They are helping the families of interpreters relocate immediately to Pakistan, and eventually to America. Unfortunately, now Pakistan is placing these Afghans into exile back to Afghanistan. It’s quite an uncomfortable conversation, and quite frankly, I need to have a conversation with this female Pakistani ABC Newscaster who was “too busy” to have sushi, and now is in a weird predicament, while I have to watch my people suffer another Afghanistan winter. Meanwhile, all I can say is read your copy of The Economist. There’s a lot of writings to do, and I have tons of reports to do. I’m at 1079, I have 21 more reports for 1100. Then another 100 reports to get to 1200 (Technics turntables). PS. The Unit (TV show) is featured on Top 10 TV shows on Apple TV, please watch it if you have not, it’s a great wonderful story. I some someday they make a movie before these guys get too old. Thanks.

Meanwhile there’s a very dangerous Winter in Afghanistan which can result in the Great Depression similar to what happened in the United States. If I’m at the State Department, after I take a shit, and I return to my desk, I tell Secretary Blinken, I think Zack/Zaki knows what the fuck he’s talking about, maybe we should listen to him while millions of Afghan women don’t have money and wake up in the morning to beg for bread for their families.

Enjoy. Oh, if you enjoy anime and you’re an OTAKU, watch SENTOU YUSEI YUKIKAZE. Maybe someday it will return, or maybe they’ll make a movie. I’m still waiting for the author to translate the third novel in Japanese. Speaking of which, Tom Cruise was supposed to make a movie with that. Let’s hope he does someday. The great thing about the SR-72 is that it supports the Israel-Palestine Two State Solution. You remember this when you looked at my SR-71 coffee mug photo. Obviously there aren’t any SR-72 coffee mug that you can buy but they do exist. Guess where they are. Area 51. Awww yeah.

Sundar, if you won’t give me a job because you are Indian and want Indian supremacy and I have a muslim name even though I prefer Buddhism, at least give me a modest salary per month so I can update the blog. This is embarassing. And I could finally buy a new car. Guess what. I am a Gemini.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1071 & BENKYO RADIO 1071. It appears that the FBI needed a helping hand dealing with the #MAGAcult, so I decided to give some advices how to prevent them from ever attempting their ridiculous behavior so that we may move on and deal with more complicated issues such as #TrumpRussia, #Ukraine, #AfghanistanWinter, and #IsraelPalestine. Anyway, here is my very first unboxing video, about the Fuji3 sneakers from HardTuned. Very excited to upgrade my Fuji2s to Fuji3s. I also got a XXL version of my Initial D AE86 hoodie. I’m wearing a Godzilla hat (TunerCult), as I hope to win either the Black Porsche 911 GT3 or the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR in Purple.

Until Next Time!
