Hi there! Hope that everybody is having a good Eid celebration. Also it’s Memorial Day Weekend. Those that I know who served usually don’t tend to like to talk about this holiday because it reminds them of their men in arms they have lost. At the very least, please take a moment of silence for those we lost. I thank you. Also, because it’s a long weekend, lots of people on the road. Remember, always wear a seatbelt, it’s vital. No ands, ifs, or buts. If you’re gonna drive, please drink a 0.0% beer. It’s just not worth taking the risk. Get a designated driver. Remember, a nice holiday weekend can be completely negated if you don’t get home safely.

A lot of people are thinking that maybe education is useless. That way of thinking is not correct. Education is important, but it should be free. That’s why we need #FreeTuition someday. Because trust me, boys, and girls, when everything reopens, and you’re looking for a job, they’re gonna ask you if you got that college degree or not. They say they don’t care, but they do. Whether it is a degree, or a certificate, use your time under quarantine/isolation wisely. Sure you can play some PS4/XBOX/PC (I do too), but allocate some time for study and work. Don’t fall behind. Do you want to know the secret about school? Don’t skip class (in other words, don’t skip lesson). Why? Because any freshman will tell you, any class that they skipped once, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times. They will fall so behind that they can’t keep up and have to drop the class. So don’t do that. Teachers are super stressed out because they want a good future for you. They will help you, but you have to listen to them.

We really need more stimulus checks, and the $2000/month stipend that Senator Sanders, Senator Harris and others are working on. Main Street is hurting while Wall Street is striving. The rich kept getting richer and the poor kept getting poorer. Capitalism needs reform. We need a system where everybody wins, not every man or woman for themselves.

Work as a team with your partner/loved ones. If you work together, you can accomplish a lot.

Spending more time on a DAW! Lots to learn! Thank God for Computer Music magazines.

Until next time!
