Angel of death is real and is unwaivering
There is a backlog of a few billion of humans, animals, mammals and insects alike, the first stage is a war, not like war between the Jews and Arabs, but a much larger one where it makes the war between the Jews and Arabs look like child's play.
I have nothing grounded to base my theory on this incoming war, or the angel of death. But I did request that a certain person to be left in peace. The reply was are you sure? Without thinking I said yes.
Then another person took his place, and I wept so painfully, later realsing its the price of saving one person another must take their place. The price of helping another. Someone I barely know. I did that for love, which was not reciprocated.
I have noticed a paattern, where people who have died, that did or said something grievous without facts. Like eye for an eye, I have been threatened and accused or both, An example I was with someone toxic, where her aunty accused me of something and threatened to kill me, if she didnt end it with me. In doing so the x accused me automatically.
BOTH lost their moms about the same time.
But heaven being heaven gave me an opportunity to prevent that for at least 1 of their moms,
One of these two died a horrific death, I knew something was seriously off for this person, I didnt know that it was this. Didnt help that her partner also threatened me, in fact the only reason why she lived for the year maybe two that I knew her was because of the x who is her daughter.
I have been threatened by a gang that they will end me and I moved INTO that suburb in which they reside. It just turned out that way lol.
But all the deaths I have been aware of in life, had significant meaning, aside the fact that the AoD exists. But that the AoD is governed by rules, one in particular, NEVER take from me the ones I love most.
An example ofthis was when the old lady (whom you would call a mom), accused me multiple times and would come to close deaths multiple times. One of which I remember distinctly, one time we were parked up at a highway in which the old man had a Ute on a trailer for parts, in which I was to drive back while he drove the V8. At one point a truck was coming and with a blaze' attitude the old lady, arrogantly decided to get off the main road at a leisurelyy pace and had only seconds to get in the V8 and shut the door. She was so close that the jandal she wore came flying off as she reacted fast enough to not get hit let alone the car door being swiped off.
The jandal hit the truck and flew down the road.
Its interesting, because some ppl have an instinct for their mind spirits who see and know whats coming, they appeal to me without me or them realising. These sensitive ppl had the desire to save someone they love. I find it hard to help, what they ask of me has a price.
But so much exp. leads me to believe in the AoD. so much so I started wriiting this blog.

Life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last...
I started my weekend YouTube marathon on Friday. Some videos were about guitar repairs and the others were mostly music videos (like the worst cover bands) when I caught an interview with Matthew Fink aka Dr. Fink who is a multi-talented songwriter, record producer and made his fame playing keyboard synthesizers for Prince and the Revolution band joining them in 1978. He's the guy wearing surgical scrubs and a stethoscope.
It's funny, Friday, I was telling my cousin (who also a keyboardist) that around 1968-69 I was in a 3 piece band playing keyboards and the guitarist's father was in hospital isolation. He had lung cancer and not expected to live long. We were allowed to see him but had to wear hospital gowns. When leaving the hospital linen area, we stole some scrubs, masks and hats.
We often performed at parties for college med student fraternities and made a big hit coming to the stage dressed in surgical scrubs... about 9 years before Dr. Fink!
The lyric "Life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last" was sung by Dez Dickerson who was the lead guitarist for Prince's band on the song 1999.

LEST WE FORGET
The War with Germany has started.
The war broke out in ‘40. I was three years old, having been born in September of ‘37. “My dad went to Germany he would not be back for several years. He went there out of his own free will, believing that he could do more for his family that way.
My dad loved the German people and they loved him. (Not the Nazi’s)
Dad was able to send money home and other people who were
forced to work for the German Nazi’s, were not able to do this.
It was up to my mom now to take care of her two children my sister Greetje and I, and find food for us all.
Living in the North of Holland, only several hours away from the farmers, the first few years were not too bad for us, but that slowly changed.
My mother had to sell her best linens, her gold watch and sewing machine for food.
The farmers did not care to receive money as it was worth nothing, so anything of value had to go.
A bottle of oil, a very valued commodity, would sell for $250.00 guilders.
My mother would bring home dried fish that stank something awful. We had to eat it anyway.
Looking back it still amazes me how resourceful people are when they have to be.
I would go to where coal was loaded onto trains, and take with me a small broom and dustpan and bring home coal dust. We would chew tar and turned it into chewing gum. It also whitens your teeth.
You could do the same with grain. We kids would go to where the grain was being loaded onto trains, and we would pick up what had fallen on the ground. It takes a long time to chew that grain, but believe me it will turn into gum.
Sometimes we were lucky and had a piece of real chewing gum. We kids would take some sugar to give it some flavour again after we had been chewing it for some time and all the flavours had left.
At night we wound it around the iron bed post.
If friends had gum and asked if you wanted to come out and play with them, you would tell them: “Sure if I can have your gum.” “Okay but only for awhile”
Later came bubble gum, and because of the sharing, we would all have sores around our mouth.
Would you like to know what happens to gum if you chew it for days? It crumples up into nothing. (It does take several days)
We may have been kids but we did things that were beyond our age.
We would climb onto trucks loaded with sugar beets, and throw them off the truck so people could make sugar.
I remember that one day I was about six years old, when I was sent shopping at the corner store for groceries. I could see from the store the school the Germans occupied, as it was around the corner of our street.
I saw a truck heaped high with coal. I saw no Germans, so I climbed onto that truck and started to shove the coal down.
What was amazing was how quickly people realized what was going on. They came with buckets and pails to scoop up what they could. When others took over from me to shovel more coal down, I ran home to tell mother at home to get some for us too.
The Germans let us be for a while they must have known what was going on. Most of them were mere boys.
We were also sustained by the soup kitchen. One of our neighbours called to say that there was meat in the soup that day. Quickly I was sent to get some of that good stuff. In the meantime, our neighbours had found the source of the meat it was the tail of a mouse. I can't remember if we ate that soup.
During the German occupation you were not allowed to have a radio, they were all confiscated. Mother kept hers and it was connected together with a neighbours. Someone must have turned them in for the authorities came knocking one day. They asked her first how long she had that radio. She said the first thing that came to her mind, six months. They went to the neighbour next and asked him the same question. Unbelievably he gave the very same answer. Because of that, they were let go, after the radio was taken of course.

The next costume party is close and a wedding invite!
On the 29th of December, my cousin and her family is hosting our annual New Years Eve pre-party, since all of the family is spread all over the country, and can't get together on New Years Eve. It's an evening filled with food, snacks, treats, confetti cannons and fireworks - so basically a mini New Years Eve celebration.
Last year was fun! No theme, so it was just come as you are and BYOD. This year, however, there's a theme: The Great Gatsby. We each have to dress up in 1920's costumes, so I have bought myself a costume. You might think "did you buy a full suit?".. Yes and no.
I bought a gangster costume and an inflatable tommy gun. I still have makeup from the Halloween party, so I will use some of that to draw a beard on my face. You know, go full meta 1920 gangster.
I am also in charge of the champagne. I have my eyes on one bottle, but.. Well, it's quite expensive. 549 danish kroner, which equals to about $79. The problem with that, is that it's 1.5 liters, which is way too much for us to drink. So I am thinking about buying a regular sized bottle. I just need to find the perfect one!
Do I go with Bollinger? Or perhaps something else?
I also received an invitation for a Turkish wedding yesterday. The wedding itself is at the end of December, so I have some time to prepare. The invitation itself was very creative! It's a "passport" and a "ticket", with a boarding time. When I opened the envelope, I went "Oh that's very creative!"
I love when people do stuff like that!

The worst song cover(s)...
I used to think that William Shatner's cover of Rocket Man by Elton John had to be one of the worst song covers to date. Times have changed and I found one that beats it by 1.6 kilometers or roughly one mile.
The original is: She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby.
Hyperchicken did a cover...
I get the feeling some high-school kids conjured this up to show off their newly learned video editing techniques.

''How should one incorporate anti-aging serums into their daily skincare routine for maximum effect
Start by cleansing your face with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser. This will remove dirt, makeup, and impurities. Use a toner to balance your skin's pH level and minimize pores. This will help your skin better absorb the serum. Apply your chosen anti-aging serum after cleansing, take a few drops of serum onto your fingertips, and gently pat it onto your face. Allow the serum to absorb for a minute or two before moving on to the next step. Apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration and create a protective barrier, make sure it is suitable for your skin type, whether it's oily, dry, or combination. Use the serum daily to see the best results. Consistent use will help your skin maintain its youthful glow and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to your skincare routine, staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients can also contribute to healthy, youthful-looking skin.
THINK TWICE
Risky business this being a climate activist these days.
These days rather think twice before accepting an invite to join a protest.
An environmental activist died after raising hands and being shot from head to toe by police nearly two months ago near Atlanta, the person's family and attorneys said Monday.
The activist known as “Tortuguita,” whose full name is Manuel Esteban Páez Terán, suffered 14 gunshot wounds on Jan. 18, family attorneys said.
Enjoy the weekend.
The Economy In A Democracy
A 12 year old boy was told to research the inner workings of the economy and he consulted his father.
His father said:
"Son, an economy works very much like our household. I am the breadwinner who provide for everybody; therefore I am the capitalist. Your mother works with the money within the strict framework of the budget, so she is the government. You are the people. Your baby sister is the future and her babysitter is the working class. Simple as that."
The boy was sceptical about the explanation but decided to leave it there.
Later that night the boy heard his baby sister crying and a quick look revealed that she needed a clean diaper (nappy). He tried to wake his mother from her drunken stupor but failed, so he went to the babysitter. He found his father on top of the babysitter. Not knowing what to do, he quietly went back to his bed.
The next morning he told his father that he finally understood how the economy works. When his father asked him to explain he said: "While the government is asleep, the capitalist screws the working class. The people are ignored while the future is in the shìt."
