What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, February 10th, 2025. I hope everybody had a great weekend watching SUPERBOWL LIX. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s Monday, so it’s time for large content curation. I will try to do a VLOG video later this week. Don’t forget that Valentine’s Day is this Friday, February 14th, 2025. Try to do something special for that person in your life. I’m going through a divorce, so this week is very complicated for me. Friday is TGIF videogames day, so maybe I can have a fun LIVESTREAM to keep myself occupied. Maybe I’ll just go get coffee. We shall see…

Until Next Time!

It’s such an important organization, which must be cherished. They do incredible work throughout the planet, and if you were unaware, we could have lot humankind after the 2020 pandemic if they weren’t working around the clock worldwide. Thank you, MSF aka Doctors Without Borders.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Tuesday, February 4th, 2025. Lot of rain and storms throughout both Northern and Southern, hell, even Central California. Much needed rain because we had a very dry summer. Los Angeles will enjoy the rain because of the #LAFires. I watched the 2hrs47min #Grammys performance for its 67th anniversary, I did not appreciate the 3-4-5 performance with light blue colors of Israel propaganda, especially when the death toll in Gaza jumped from 40,000 to 60,000. It’s no longer a #GazaGenocide, it’s a #GazaHolocaust. We need that #GazaCeasefire to continue. Thank you to Belgium for screaming that justice must prevail, just like ICC said. Let’s get Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, and Sama’ Abdulhadi to throw more rave parties and do charity work for Gaza. It’d mean a lot. Thank you to those livestreamers who raised $3,000,000 for Gaza/West Bank. There will need to be lots of reconstruction efforts. As for my friends at MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES (MSF), I have not forgotten about you, I will include some of your content from DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS on Thursday (Medical Journals day) so if you have new articles or videos, now is the time to publish them. While I live and breathe the world of Technology, I am fascinated by your profession (Medecine). That’s because someday I will publish some work on Music Therapy, an endeavor I’ve worked on since 2011.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Thursday, January 30th, 2025. Here are some Medical Journals since it’s Thurday. Hope you have a good day. Don’t forget the Quad-Demic is still going on, be safe out there. That include not just yourself, but your “munchkids” (young children), and the elderly. As far as teenagers, if they read my website, they know what’s up. Over 1,000,000 people died during the 2020 Pandemic, they announced that 30,000 people already just died this Quad-Demic, I suggest you get vaccinated from latest COVID-19 variant, get that FLU shot, so you can sleep easier. Thanks. PS. Someone just reminded me to tell y’all to wear layers if you’re in the cold states, because you don’t want to catch Pneumonia. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, you may have heard about the tragic Air Crash accident last night in D.C., this is obviously all of Trump’s fault for firing over 100 people in the FAA. Limited workforce, no supervisors, this is what happens.
