For years, I've avoided entertainment awards shows for various reasons. Sometimes it's the politics in the business, sometimes a case of who you blow or who you know and not the actual talent you have. Always, and I mean always, there are disappointments and hurt feelings, especially from the losers.

What was it... less than 2 weeks ago, there was another show and while accepting an award for Dr. Dre, Jay-Z (Beyoncé's husband) decides to use his time in the spotlight to slam the Grammy's because she didn't receive an award for album of the year.

In her career, Beyoncé has raked up 32 Grammy's and holds the record. The two of them combined have 56 wins.

I read some reader reviews and that his action didn't sit well with her fans. Simply put... Beyoncé's last album wasn't considered good enough for an award.

Jay-Z, that's embarrassing... stop your crying!

Trump's media company is scheduled to go public today. Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social is said to be worth billions.

The new combined company will trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the stock symbol DJT.


Can you make a million over night?
The key word here is volatile.

Leave it to Biden to nominate a man who hates America, celebrates people who kill cops, oh yeah, and who also hates Jews to be a federal judge. By now, this administration should have figured out that nominating people based on which woke boxes they check off is a mistake. But they have not because you know, they're Democrats.

And Biden is nothing more than a Botox-filled puppet doing the bidding of someone else; we don't even feel the need to adjust our tinfoil saying that at this point.

Someone thought nominating Adeel Mangi was a good idea.

Someone was wrong.

Sen. John Kennedy ain't havin' none of it. Watch:

Adeel Mangi is not qualified to be a federal judge because he supports organizations that celebrate people who kill law enforcement officers, hate Americans, and hate Jews.

It’s not Islamophobic to recognize that. It’s our job.

Vice President Mike Pence as well as two former defense secretaries, a former chief of staff, two former national security advisers, a former attorney general, and more ? all calling him everything from “an utter disgrace” to “an idiot.

True facts, Trumps own appointed staff will not vote for him as they believe he will destroy the constitution.

I urge Americans not to vote for Trump, don’t vote for Biden either that’s fine, neither should be President but Trump will force dictatorship onto a once land of the free.

They call it the soft guy era...Drizzle Drizzle movement.

Basically, men are now starting to have their own high standards. These standards are very similar to women, some even say they are the same standards that women have been preaching for the last years.

Some of these standards are:

Women must have money.
They must pay.
They must have high quality physical attributes.
They must also tolerate the lack of appreciation from men.
They must buy the ring for men.
They must approach men.
They must provide them with a lavish lifestyle.
....the list goes on....on the same requirements women have required of men for years.

This movement suggest men stop paying women for anything...that means stop your OF subscriptions, don't pay for dates, don't pay rent, don't pay for anything. In fact what it means, now that women have the same earning potential as men, it means that women pay men. Some even suggest that construction workers even leave their jobs and let women do them. Keep in mind folks, this is just what I am hearing and I am sharing here for you.

What do you think women and men of this? I just am learning about it as I type this.


What I think of it? I think it is cute.

I think it is about time that men pursue their happiness.

Let me ask you men, when women have been making all these crazy high demands, what has that gotten you? The real statistics are there: women are only going after the top 5 to 10% of men...leaving the remaining 90%+ men useless to them.

As I predicted, this recent multi-wave woman movement will lead to a beautiful life in the end. When I mean beautiful life, I mean beautiful for both men and women.

Women ran too far.

Men are logical problem solvers. It was a matter of time when men would come up with a solution to the problem. Is this the solution??

A Chinese state sponsored Cyber attack by a hacker known as APT 31 aimed at the UK voting system and members of parliament in 2021/22, has been exposed by the UK government today. The announcement has just been made and exposes the Chinese government and their actions. Fortunately the cyber attack was unsuccessful due to UK security measures. This makes everyone aware of the threat that China poses to democracies.

Words fail me

Surely, the Pope has got it wrong here. He is sending out a message to any country that is under attack to give up fighting back for their rights to resist an invader, and negotiate terms of peace. The perpetrator of any invasion would then be boosted by this advice and have added incentive to continue an illegal war. This statement by an authority such as the Pope could have a demoralising effect on the non offending country.

Years back, a friend of mine on here (Robert) and I would chat back and forth. There was talk with me to him about my pursuit of writing a book.

I guess at that time, that was one of my interests. Well, that book was never written by me.

What is the significance of writing a book in the first place?

Is it to express your personal form of entertainment for the reader?
Is it to stimulate a reader's imagination?
Is it to teach?
Is it to share with the world your inner thoughts?

I suppose the purpose of a book could just about be about anything.

The funny thing is, I was just referencing all my past blogs I wrote. I was surprised to see they date back to 10 years or so. That is pretty cool that CS keeps them available for that long.

The time I wrote each and everyone of those blogs are a reflection of where I was at that time...my questions about life, my concerns, and a general quest for further understanding. There was no overall ego I was attempting to satisfy...or any type of selfish desire I was meaning to achieve. With over 300 blogs created and a multitude of subjects, thoughts, and inquiries...

one could cultivate all these...and put them to print. A book born out of organic means....in my opinion, the best book anyone could ever write. I would highly recommend others accidentally take the same trip.

What do other bloggers think or feel about their past writings? As far as that goes, even people who do not post their own thoughts and inquiries online (for example in a journal or diary), what do you think when you read over your past posts?

The condos in my community have open corridors with several points to gain access to the roof top where the air conditioners are mounted. Those doors in the ceiling open to the trusses and a crawl space where above are the hurricane rated steel hatches to the roof.
Management wants everything locked and only one centrally located hatch is to be used for contractors, inspectors and service tradesmen. When I moved in, I noticed that hatch access closest to me was always unlocked... the reason why was the guy with the key (association vice-president) was recovering from surgery and unable to get to the 2nd floor. No one was monitoring who went up on the roof. One day, the insurance inspector noticed damage to the roof, probably when an air conditioning contractor had dragged a unit. So the association president wanted some control to know who was going to the roof. It came up in an association meeting and I was asked if I would volunteer to unlock the hatch. Groan... I'm working from home most of the time and the hatch is ten feet from my front door. I see the ladders and hear them stomping around. There are signs on all the bulletin boards stating 24 hours notice is required to have the hatch unlocked.

I get the call to unlock the hatch prior to the technicians arrival. Not all the residents pay attention and I sometimes get called when the technician is standing under a locked hatch with no prior notification. Only licensed electrical or air conditioning contractors, home inspectors and insurance inspectors are allowed access. Rare occasion is when Cable TV technicians require access. Locked access is standard procedure for all the condos and contractors who know this village, know they need to call or have the homeowner call first.

One resident died last year and his unit quickly sold. The woman who moved in didn't like the procedure and became confrontational telling me she owned property elsewhere and didn't have to go through the process of calling for access. Also that she wanted the hatch nearest her unit to be unlocked. I don't have a key for that but she instructed her guy to pry open the padlocked door anyway. This became an issue with the association president who was to get the maintenance guy to reinforce the door so someone cannot pry it open again.

Last Tuesday, I open the lock for an a/c company but they didn't show up and Wednesday, while I was out on an appointment, the woman who recently moved in had her a/c guy standing waiting for someone to unlock the hatch. I told her it was unlocked from the previous day, but she said it was locked.

When I returned, I see the two of them were on the end where the hatch is always locked. Again, he forced his way into a locked hatch, ignoring the one near me that was unlocked.

Someone from the neighboring building notified the president of my building that the metal roof hatch was left open. The president called me asking what had happened. I explained the woman instructed her guy to pry open the hatch nearest her unit. She asked me to call and notify her what had happened and get her guy to return to close the hatch.
(That wasn't my responsibility and management should have made the call)
I called the woman and explained her a/c contractor left the upper roof hatch open that can be seen from the street. She needed to get her guy to come back an close it. She became annoyed and thought someone else should close it for her. I repeated it was her contractor who was responsible. This started an argument and she was ranting about procedure. I reminded her (from a previous confrontational encounter) that hatch was to be locked at all times and only the central hatch was to be used. The correct access point was unlocked as I said, but her guy pried his way into the locked hatch. She insisted he didn't break in then hung up on me.

The maintenance guy needs to fix the broken hatch and signs changed to explain only the center hatch will be unlocked
