What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, February 24th, 2025. I hope you all had a great weekend, and eager for the new week. It’s almost the end of the month! I hope you took part in #BLM activities, and read a BLM book, watch a BLM movie, or listen to BLM music (OMEGA RADIO podcast for example). I’m excited because in about 1.5 week, I am headed on my trip to France, hoping for a Hail Mary in my search to find work, since I can’t find a (paying) salary job in the USA, (I’m too old for non-paying internships).

Until Next Time!
