What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, January 6th, 2025. It’s been 4 years since that dreadful anniversary of the Jan 6th insurrection attack on the Capitol in Washington D.C. by those terrorists, in the #MAGAcult. It was very difficult for the Capitol Police, and even some police officers succumbed to their injuries. Jan 6th is not a day of celebration, and the FBI + DOJ must continues to send these individuals to prison for attempting to hijack a federal building. We have a few weeks until the new United States President (47th), which we are unsure who it will be, since Trump might be ineligible for being a pedophile, an Al Capone mobster whom cannot seem to be sent to prison for mob behavior but could go to prison for tax evasion. He did #TrumpRussia and he blackmailed the US with Nuclear Secrets, including lots of dabblings with Elon Musk and Neuralink. They amassed lots of funding doing insider-trading with that technology. Looks like VANCE might be President, and who is going to be the VP?

Anyway, the Bengals have a big game against the Steelers, it’s imperative for a WHO DEY win this weekend. Let’s Go!!!

What’s up, everybody! Especially #GeeksNerdsOtakus! It’s Friday, January 3rd, 2025. TGIF! Thank God it’s Friday for some of you, enjoy the weekend, if you’ve been working all week, that means you can enjoy your videogames all weekend long. Great! As for myself: I kinda work all sorts of hours, that’s why it’s upsetting when higher echelon do not understand the importance for people who work the night shift. There are individuals who count on such individuals to stay a-okay. I haven’t done a night shift in about 2-3 months, and something definitely feel off. I also haven’t had my $500 stipend per month in 2-3 months, it’s been really hard. Also, no credit card. That’s the prime reason why you do not see me at a Sacramento Kings game, or enjoying a meal at a restaurant downtown. The very few funds I have now, it’s for Boba Tea, working on the computer, and eating some take-out, sometimes, very rarely now. I haven’t had takeout food in more than 2 months. No fast-food either. It’s hard. Anyway, I’m not sure what games I will livestream this weekend, but hopefully I can do a couple, giving my limited data at my location of residence.

The 13 Best New Hip-Hop Songs this Week [XXL Magazine]

What’s up, everybody! It’s Wednesday, January 1st, 2025. It’s the beginning of a new year. For some people that means new year’s resolutions. Resolutions that will probably be broken after the end of the month. As for myself, as previously mentioned, I’m separated from my wife, so I’m not having the greatest time. Let’s try to stay upbeat. Since I’m technically not tied to Central Valley California (parts of it were a #MAGAcult stronghold, unfortunately) anymore, I may consider moving to France, whether temporarily for the 4 years of the #TrumpNightmareEraVolumeII, or maybe forever, depending on what happens. A lot of us are familiar with the differences. In USA, we have large houses, but “joy de vivre” is crap. A lot of times, you don’t even know your neighbors, you don’t even talk to your friends from College/University anymore, things like that. In France, living arrangements are minuscules, but way of life are much better. While I love driving, in France, modes of transportations are so much nicer, meaning you can literally take the metro, bus, train, etc everywhere. With a European passport, you can travel the entire European Union. It’s impressive. Let’s a lot to do. Between 2025 and 2027, France has to get ready so that the RN (Rassemblement National) does not win the Presidential Elections in 2027. The Left is doing everything right, even won the previous 2 elections, and somehow someway, President Macron refuses to add a NFP (Nouveau Front Populaire) Premier Ministre ou Première Ministre.

I saw them for New Year’s Eve about a decade ago in SF for a DJ Concert. It was awesome display by the French DJ-duo. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my prescription meds, and had to drive straight home after the concert back to Sacramento. I was so mad. Goes to show, when you plan on going somewhere for the night, always carry your prescription meds for the night, and make sure your name is on the label from your pharmacy, just in case.

Anyway, it’s Thursday, it’s Medical Journals and Articles day, so obviously we’re gonna add some great links in the world of Medicine. As someone with Flat Feet, who deals with Mental Health and has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I highly recommend the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center if you live in Columbus, Ohio. Obviously, I will write a similar article someday about the University of Cincinnati (UC Health Medical Center) as well. And we gotta give a shout out once again to that MEDEVAC from 2010. Where are they now? For sure.
