Hi There! I saw a video the other day about a guy rapping poetic rhymes surrounded by kids saying that school was useless, they weren’t learning anything, and they forget what they learn. Let me tell you something, school is important for the simple reason that it will keep you off the streets. That’s right. The illusion is that everybody is going to be rockstars and youtube stars and all that. The reality is that only very few are lucky to get there. For the most of us, you need that fallback plan, and that plan is education. Study hard, and eventually, you will finish High School, you will finish College. Some of us like learning so much, we continue to do it. You can go beyond and learn about marvelous topics, i.e. Quantum Mechanics. So instead of making videos about “you’re not learning anything,” just be patient. A lot of you are impatient. You have to work hard, and take things one day at a time. You can do it. You can inspire others. These things take time.

I went to a Greek Festival a few weeks ago and it was really cool.

I recently watched GEMINI MAN by Will Smith. It was a great movie with a good ending in my opinion. My only concern was the portrayal of one of our Intelligence Agencies, but, regardless, it was definitely very good.

I am super excited about PRYDA (Eric Prydz) releasing his latest compilation. I listened to the whole thing and it was awesome.

The next TV show I am going to check out is TREADSTONE, if you’re a fan of the Bourne Identity, you will enjoy it.

Given that it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I want to direct you to one newsfeed I follow, it’s called “Cancer Nanotechnology.” You can follow it on Twitter at @CancerNanoTech.

It’s October, so NBA is back.

It’s Halloween this month, so have fun don’t do anything too bananas. Be Safe, Be Responsible.

MLB The Show 2019 is free on Playstation Plus right now!

Pixel 4 has been announced, you can now take pictures of the Milky Way!

If you’re at ADE 2019, have fun!

Don’t forget to rally around your candidate! Democrats MUST win in 2020. Our future depends on it. Go Bernie!

Until Next Time!
