Closing out the days of my nephew’s graduation. He’s off to Senior Week, but we had another cookout today to celebrate his graduation.
Yup. These days are slowly winding down. We’ll be going back to normal in a few months. Will this blog go back to being silent? Can’t believe it, because there ain’t no movies to watch and review!
Went to my nephew’s “graduation.” Yes the quotes there are to signify that he didn’t walk down the aisle and picked up his diploma from the headmaster. He stepped to the headmaster, received the diploma, and that was it. We did get pictures taken, but there was no audience. We did try to invite everyone via a Zoom live cast, but that wasn’t as successful — our “ceremony” started much, much earlier than scheduled so many people missed it.
So that’s it. I’m proud of the dude from graduating. He really hated it early on, but seems to finally liked it at the end. Stuck with it and I think he’s better for it.
Missed one. Skip it. Just continue on with today.
I don’t understand what the end game of the police brutality going on this week with the protesters. What happens when we all go back home? Do you expect us to be silent again? Can the police look their families and friends in the eye and know they have their respect?
In the end, when you think about the protests during President Obama’s years and compare them to the protests of Donald Trump, you see that leadership matters. A leader tries to be the best and calm things down. Donald Trump just provokes. His is a tyrant and not a president.
We know now that the police and the military is a stone throw from being the gestapo and SS. They have put lie to the fact that they protect and serve the community. They have put lie to the fact that it is just a few “bad apples.” The entire orchard is rotten to the core.
America is broken.
1989. 2020. 1987. 1991 is missing. Those are the guys who have been Gilman graduates in my family. My nephew today received his tie. Just one of the things you get when your family spends some money on an education. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll be a good man. I don’t know, but I hope so.
We are in martial law. Who knew?
It was all about hippy punching to the max.
Truly has made America the worst.
The country is burning. People are upset. Cops are beating and murdering. People are rioting — it’s so much pent up frustration coming out. It didn’t have to be this way.
That’s how I thought. Except now it is this way. Donald Trump declared that ANTIFA is now a terrorist organization. The one that is anti-fascist. If you’re not anti-fascist, the you’re pro. Donald Trump is pro-fascist, and the Republicans as well. To support them, you make the deal with the devil, so that you can burn in this hell you’ve made.
They have made the country not so great.
Let’s have something slightly relaxing. Something fun and happy to take our minds off of the country falling apart. Let’s go poolside.
You know I think the world is opening up again. I see signs of more activity happening. Beer gardens. Restaurants. Things moving. Are we getting back to normal? Only time will tell.
I like the idols that I follow. I like to cheer them on. I know that they take comfort in the support from their fans. It makes them happy.
Yet it’s also great that they like to cheer us on. How? By being cute, talented, and hard-working. They do what they do, because it makes their fans happy.
Early this week, Nogizaka46 released a music video to give us hope that we’ll soon get out of this rona season of madness. Its title in romaji is “Sekaijuu no Rinjin yo” and in English is “Neighbors Around the World.” They hope that this song reaches you and makes your day a little bit brighter. They hope it brings a smile to your face. They want you to be happy even amongst this madness.
Know that they sing for everyone around the world.
I love the idols that I follow.
Turns out don’t store your wine above the stove. That’s what I did because I don’t really drink wine and above the stove put it way out of my way. But if one day, you make some spaghetti, and you want to drink some wine with it, you’ll find out that it went bad because you didn’t store it in a way to ensure that it will be good to drink someday. I made some terrible tasting vinegar. The spaghetti was okay.
