I've always preferred to navigate life alone. But it's only recently I've really acknowledged and embraced my loner ways. Add this new found appreciation for who I am to my interest in story telling, I've decided to try document my life twice a month on YouTube - the film industry won't be knocking down my door any time soon it fair to say.

Welcome to my simple life.

My eye was very sore and swollen this morning when I woke up. It all started yesterday when I called at McDonalds for a bite to eat and a cup of coffee. I ordered a bacon and egg McMuffin, despite my gut feeling to have nothing to do with anything bearing such a stupid name. When my order was brought to the counter, it arrived along with someone else’s order, and the girl shouted out, “bacon and egg muffin”, immediately followed by, “sausage and egg muffin”. I picked up my order and left the restaurant, but on the way to my car I took the muffin out of the bag and looked inside, as I always do before I eat anything from McDonald’s. It was a sausage and egg muffin, and I quickly realised that I must have picked up the wrong bag. I looked around and saw that the woman whose order had arrived with mine was also walking to her car, so I ran towards her shouting, “excuse me”. She stopped and turned towards me, and when I got to where she was standing, I asked to see her muffin, and that was when I sustained the injury to my eye.

Season's greetings, everybody.

It's that time of year again when turmoil and malice reigns throughout the land. Have fun everyone, and don't forget to leave a bucket of water by your bedroom window for when those little brats come a-trickin'-n'-a-treatin'.

Hoping you have the most amazing day!!!... Wishing you health, prosperity and lots of love, girlie!... Thank you, for being such a wonderful friend!...

I did a reading, about a specific person today and the energy I've been getting from this individual because it's quite chaotic and confusing; yet simultaneously this person feels excited. It's like they don't quite know what they want.

Sooo, this is just a reminder for me to research:

* The Fool card (landed sideways)
* Ace of Pentacles (Upright)
* 2 of Swords (Upright)
* 3 of Swords (Upright) --- I have a feeling this is about someone else
* 4 of Pentacles (reversed)
* Temperance (reversed)
* Knight of Wands ( Upright --- Lawd merceh, I KNOW what DAT mean)

Forecasting

Why normally....bad events are only told....
By anyone who reads future.

By saving from disaster ....

OK ...here I am forecasting....goodluck

Only Goodluck....for all living beings
Because....there is a direct blessing
From God.
So....what happens before...2030...
Don't ask me.....I don't like to say
The worst things....
Bye now....will continue. Later.

Didn't realize I was running low on seasoning. I had to throw my herbs in the Nutribullet and blend up more. And since the store was out of zucchini noodles, had to spiral my own. Was hoping to be asleep by now.

Then I found a site with the movie Black Belt Jones on it, for free. Oh goodness. it's a wrap. I love that silly movie.

I am slightly embarrassed to divulge what I am about to tell you, and not least because of the ridicule I am bound to be showered with upon doing it. But, regardless, and also without really knowing why, I am resolved to tell it. I have a very strong, almost overwhelming urge to run into the middle of my local High Street, stark naked, and shout out at the top of my voice, “look at me, I’m butt naked and I don’t give a damn”.

That proclamation wouldn’t be entirely true, though, because I would give a damn. That is to say that I would give a damn about having to show my face in my community afterwards. I think it would only be possible if I could show some form of justification for my behaviour.

If I could get somebody to dare me to do it, then I think I could pass it off as an act of bravery, rather than one of depravity. And if I could make it a dare involving a bet, I could also make a financial profit out of it. I get to satisfy my unwholesome desire, I come out of it looking like a real dare devil, and I earn a bit of money on top. Cool. But how do I get somebody to dare me to do it and make it seem like it is entirely their idea?

The year was 1960. I had graduated from Roberts Technical & Trade school in NYC as a budding Auto Mechanic 2 years earlier, and since that time I had held various jobs in gas stations pumping gas and doing whatever repairs & maintenance jobs that came in, lube & oil, tune up, adjust brakes (yeah most cars had drum brakes and not all self adjusted, Chrysler products were the worst). There were no self serve gas stations back then and the obligatory question was “Check under the hood sir?” Of course you also cleaned the windshield and I cleaned the rear window as well it hopes of getting a tip. If the driver wanted his tires checked you did that too, even if he only bought a dollars worth of gas. I didn't mind cause I was doing what I liked, working on cars, though a lot of it wasn't very glamorous. I was living in Long Island City at the time and my older brother got me a job at Welbilt Stoves in Maspeth Queens. I made $1.07 an hour. It was as bad as it sounds! I endured that job for 3 weeks until I got a job at a Shell station on Queens BLVD. The owner was a little Jewish guy who had been a Taylor and knew squat about mechanics so I kind of ran the 2 bay shop. It was ok. Gas was dirt cheap back then and we were undercutting the competition by about 2 cents. We were selling Reg for $0.27.9. (about 28 cents a gallon) One day 3 guys came in from a couple of other stations and “urged us” to raise our price because we were “taking food out of their mouths”. We showed them our books and exactly how little gas we were pumping. They left feeling sorry for us. My boss use to run out and hand out cards to motorists who were stopped at the light with the gas price on it, $27.9 One day he asked me if I would go out and hand out cards when the light turned red. I looked at him like he was crazy. I said I'm a professional Mechanic, I don't stand out in the street handing out gas cards. I thought, “If this guy thinks he's gonna get rich selling gas for a penny a gallon profit he's gonna die poor.”

If all the computers in the world failed for 24 hours, I believe the entire world would crash and anarchy take over.

Right now we have vehicle manufacturers about to go bust due to a chip shortage.

It has become almost impossible to buy a PS5 games console. Toyota, Ford and Volvo have had to either slow or temporarily halt production at their factories. Smartphone makers are feeling the pinch too, with Apple warning that the shortage could affect iPhone sales.

Yet financial institutes are reliant on computers and the internet, all banking is done via IT and the internet

Now children are being taught at home using computers when a classroom is a far better learning environment.

This morning I was told in a local store there is a 6 month wait for the brand of washing machine I was going to buy due to the chip shortage.

I think that society as a whole has become way too dependent on IT and the internet.

There is a saying. “ Never put all your eggs in one basket”
