Perhaps the fate of Giuliani will be similar to Michael Cohen's.
While 2 of his partners were recently arrested, so far Giuliani has not.
But, perhaps that will change soon. As part of the fallout from the riveting recent Taylor testimony
before Congress, the conversations between Giuliani and Trump are about to be reviewed.
Although Giuliani recently fired an attorney, since claiming he didn't need one, now he is rushing to find an attorney. As Colbert pointed out last night, "if Giuliani is looking for a good lawyer, he should not look in his mirror".

Men have been told to do that since....well since awhile ago.

You can't do that to me.
You can't say that to me.
Honey, don't let him/her do that to me/you.
Be a man.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself.
There is nothing wrong with defending yourself. However, I think there is a certain extent.

For example, this past weekend. I was having a great time out at the local bar's Halloween party. There was a Korean lady there that seemed to be rather interested in me. We had flirted with each other the whole night. Things were going rather well.

I was sitting at a table away from the bar with a great friend of mine. We were sitting there pretty much the whole evening, near the pool table, talking, and playing pool. The Korean beauty was also playing pool with us as well.

It was getting late, alcohol has certainly taken its effect. I put my quarters in the table, the balls were released. Immediately, the Korean lady ran over, to steal my game. I knew what she was up to...just her way of flirting. I am like, okay...I will just grab some more quarters from the bar, and I will get the next game.

Fine and dandy...but my friend I was with, was not okay with this. I didn't know what he said to her. But, she was gone shortly after their talk. Should I have stepped in....I wonder....but, realistically...given the complete circumstances of the situation, I knew I really didn't have any right to.

The way I looked at it....it was only fifty cents and a couple of minutes before the next game would start. I am a very patient man....so overall...it really was not a big deal.

I was not angry or upset with my friend as I explained to him my philosophy in life when it comes to situations like these...non-threatening...in particular. I told him, I believe in free-will. You hope for people to do the right things, but you cannot be in control of their free will. Especially, with this Korean lady...we had that sort of playful vibe going on all night.

His stance was, you cannot let people take advantage of you like that.

Well....

He does have a point. I am a man. A man is suppose to be in control of the situation. A man should not let anyone disrespect him. True....as it has been taught to us men.

But....before going down this whole principled path...the macro of the whole situation was not even worth taking a "manly" stance. It was in the whole scope of life...nothing.

With that said....after hearing about some guy dying in line getting a chicken sandwich....I wonder if he wouldn't be still alive today if he didn't do the whole macro prospective with the situation he was in. I heard he was with a woman....perhaps he was just being a man.

Yes, the crimes of (so called) President Trump are not "exciting" enough for you.
While perhaps treasonous and impeachable, they lack the titillation of an affair with a pornstar,
or the claim of being able to shoot people on 5th Avenue.

I get it. Legal battles are not like the (so called) 'reality' TV that a lot of you are emotionally addicted to.
To help you last night SNL aired "As the Impeachment Turns".

“There Is Nowhere That I’d Rather Celebrate”

The Commander in Chief made an unannounced surprise visit to Afghanistan on Thanksgiving Day to meet with U.S. troops to show America’s appreciation and gratitude. He arrived shortly after 8:30 p.m. local time and spent more than two-and-a-half hours on the ground. Reporters were under strict instructions to keep the trip a secret to ensure his safety.

The President flew 13 hours from Florida to Bahram Airfield in Afghanistan. This is the Commander in Chief’s second visit to a combat zone. He previously visited troops in Iraq the day after Christmas in 2018.

“There’s nowhere I’d rather celebrate this Thanksgiving than with the toughest, strongest, best and bravest warriors on the face of the earth. You are indeed that,” the Commander in Cheif expressed to the troops in Afghanistan.”

The President noted when he took office three years ago, the military was depleted but has since rebuilt and updated much-needed equipment, including planes, ships, helicopters, submarines and more. “Nobody beats our great Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Gaurd, Maries, and we think soon we’re gonna be adding a thing called space. You know about that right? Space,” he expressed to a cheering crowd of soldiers.

In his address to the troops, the President also announced renewed peace talks between the United States and the Taliban, revealing that the Taliban wants to make a deal. “We’ll see if they want to make a deal, “he said. “It’s got to be a real deal, but we’ll see. But they want to make a deal. And they only want to make a deal because you are doing a great job. That is the only reason they want to make a deal. So I want to thank you and I want to thank the Afghan soldiers for– I’ve spoken to a lot of you today and you say they are really fighting hard. I was impressed with that actually. So I want to thank you.”

The President also humbly served Thanksgiving dinner to the troops during his surprise visit to Afghanistan.

What is this country of America coming to? Are we to allow someone to be tried and judged and punished without due process of Law? Whether you like Donald Trump or don't like him he deserves Due Process
Bu the states of Maine and Colorado have tried and convicted him without due process of the Law
Even the worst criminal we have ever seen or the worst criminal to come that is obviously guilty without a doubt
is always afforded an attorney and a trial by judge or jury.
If this situation is to stand without push back with the law behind it this United States is on it's way to hell
If it is not there already
Who can stand against what I have just said? If you are against what I have said you are filled with hate

Once again, I didn't listen to the "little voice in my head", which told me to prepare individual presents for my workmates. I didn't do this, as I think making it individual is too personal, and I do this only for friends and family.

My last night at work before Christmas, was the 17 December. I like the team I'm working with, so same as the year before, I prepared a "thank you present" this time a crate of 5 kg clementine and about 1.5 kg small chocolates for the whole team. I bought all this with my own money.

The muslim guy working the evening shift said he doesn't eat sweets, but took a few clementine before leaving, that was ok. I told him that the present was for everyone. On the morning of 18/12, before going home, I presented the present to the morning staff... people who I've been working with for almost 2 years. They were happy and thanked me.

I returned to work on the 26, and everything was gone, even the presents we got from the families of the people we take care of. Last year, there was still some available, even until the new year.

On Monday night, first night in the new year, one of my workmates for almost 2 years, who is also one of the women who received the Xmas gift, told me that on the morning of the 19/12, there was nothing left of my present to them, but 2 others had had their boxes filled with clementines.

Tuesday morning, before leaving work, I asked another long time workmate, if she had gotten anything from the present, she replied "no", but 2 others were eating lots of clementines on the days after I had left the present.

This pi$$ed me off, made me upset and very, very angry, to the point that, not even listening to a book on the way home (I usually do this to and from work) calmed me down. I had breakfast, showered, went to bed, but couldn't sleep, I was crying, I kept thinking of what those 2 young muslim men had done. As they were working yesterday afternoon, I felt like instead of sleeping, I'd go back to work and confront about their behaviour.

Not wanting to cause problems, as I know I would have done, being as angry as I was (If i cry when I'm angry, it means I've reached, or am almost to "the point of no return"). I called and talked to one of my bosses, who calmed me down and I was able to sleep, but she said when I talk to the 2 men, to do it in a calm way, and say it wasn't nice of them, to do what they had done.

Some days before Xmas, I was talking to those 2 men and they said they don't celebrate Xmas, as it isn't part of their religion or culture.

My point with this blog is, why the hell did they eat and or even take home all of what I had left as a Xmas present for everyone...9 including then both. I've been working with the team for almost 2 years, 1 of those men started working with us 4, the other 2 months ago, which is also the same amount if time they've been working in the nursing home.... You don't celebrate Xmas, but your should still have something called a conscience, and respect for others and their cultures.

I'm not sure if I'll see them the 2 nights I'm working next week, but 1 thing is for sure, even if I'm off duty when they're working, I'm going to go to work and have a serious conversation with them about this. Not only that, I'l tell then that before their ramadan begins, they have to buy a big cake for the team. I'm not going to threaten them, just say it in a nice friendly way, whilst hiding the "poison" behind my smiles.

Emm, unrequited love, the bittersweet symphony of the heart. Let's dive into this tender topic and find some clarity amidst the emotional rollercoaster, shall we?

1). Assess your heart's budget. Loving someone who doesn't reciprocate can feel like investing all your emotions in a one-way street. Take a moment to evaluate how much love you have to give and whether it's worth spending it on someone who can't offer the same in return. Remember, emotional investments should bring joy and fulfillment, not leave you bankrupt.

2). Remember, you're a precious limited edition. Consider your own self-worth and value. Loving yourself should always be a priority. If someone doesn't appreciate the amazing person you are, it might be time to redirect that love towards someone who will treasure it as fiercely as you do.

3) Don't be a dog chasing its own tail. Pursuing someone who doesn't love you back can feel like running in circles without ever reaching the finish line. It's important to assess if this pursuit is preventing you from finding the happiness you deserve. Sometimes, letting go is the best way to create space for someone who will love you wholeheartedly.

4). Keep your heart open to new adventures. While it may seem daunting, being open to new connections and opportunities can lead you to unexpected paths of love and happiness. You never know what amazing person might be just around the corner, ready to appreciate and reciprocate the love you have to offer.

5). Prioritize your own happiness. Ultimately, you deserve to be with someone who loves and cherishes you in return. Focus on activities and relationships that bring you joy and fulfillment. Surround yourself with friends and loved ones who uplift and support you. Happiness starts from within, and when you radiate that happiness, you attract the right kind of love into your life.

Love should be a two-way street, with both parties investing their hearts and souls. While unrequited love can be painful, it's important to weigh the emotional cost and prioritize your own happiness. Keep your heart open, value yourself, and trust that the right person will come along to reciprocate your love and make it all worthwhile.

Cheers

OK. This is a 100% true story. It happened a long time ago, so some things I don't fully remember. But I 100% remember what I describe below.
Obviously, I won't use actual names, but I swear, that even the initials are real.

I was a graduate student at a university. I did research and worked as a teaching assistant doing lectures and labs in Biology, Microbiology, Medical Microbiology, and Genetics, and occasionally some other related classes as a guest speaker. My lectures were packed, as students felt that I was knowledgeable, entertaining and interesting. I also made sure to answer their questions. I was in my mid-20's back then and perhaps they could relate to me too.

One time I had recently broke up with a girlfriend and was just done with a biology lecture. As I was exiting the building, I glanced at a lovely gal leaning up against the hand/guardrail to the exit. She introduced herself, D., and almost immediately, upfront asked me, if I would like to go out with her. I thought it was unusual, but, certainly not a negative thing, so I agreed. She gave me her phone number and I called that week. We ended up being exclusive for about 8 months. To be honest I don't remember who broke up with who, or why, although it might have had to do with what I am about to describe.

D. lived in a 4 bedroom house and all 4 bedrooms were rented out to different female undergraduate students. 2 of the gals went home for the weekend.
D and one other gal, S. stayed for the weekends, so they were closer to each other than the others. Just about every weekend, D & I would go to clubs, or parties and would end up back in her bedroom making whoopie all night long.
S. would usually go to the clubs & parties with us. But, she would come back to the house with us without a partner. S. was gorgeous. A thin petite brunette with green eyes and a beautiful face. Although she was fun with us, she was shy with others. Every time lots of guys would hit on her all night long
and she would reject them for one reason or another, thus ending up alone.

One Saturday early morning, there was a knock on D's, bedroom door. We were sleeping at the time, exhausted from the night's bedroom action.
The knock woke us up. D. said "come in". We were both in the nude under a sheet. In walked S. in her teddy. She proceeded to hop on the bed at the bottom, cross her legs and talk to us. She confided, that she was lonely and frustrated. We just listened to her go on. Although I didn't say anything, as I knew it likely wouldn't be well received, my thought were (well, no wonder. You shoot down every guy who hits on you. Give somebody a chance !).

D. consoled her and said, that she would probably meet the right guy eventually. S. went on to say how disappointed, frustrated and h*rny she has been. It was a longer conversation than that. But, that was the gist of it.
She stated that "once again, I had to have sex with my v***rator last night".

Once the conversation turned s*xual, D. grabbed my p*nis under the sheet and started massaging it and caressing that area. Between her actions and S's 'story' it was having the effect D. obviously wanted. So, after S. made the statement about her v***rator, I said. "Gee, it must be very quiet, as I never hear anything. Bring it here. I want to hear it."

With that, S. got up, went into her bedroom and returned with a white hard plastic v***rator. While she was gone D & I quickly French kisses and caressed each other. S. comes back in the room and hopped back up one the bed.
I tell her, "turn it on. I want to hear it". So, she does..."bzzzzzzz". I say, "that's not too bad. "Do you mind if I borrow it ?" So, S. hands it to me, hops off the bed and exits the bedroom and closes the door. I then proceed to massage D's thighs, and more private regions, while licking her in the appropriate places, until the desired result happens.....twice....
