Hi there! Hope everybody had a nice safe Christmas & a Happy New Year. I’d like to give a big shoutout to everybody who still has to work during the holidays. Keep working hard, because hard work pays off, in due time. I heard that Keanu Reeves is releasing John Wick 4 and Matrix 4 on the same day! That’s going to be amazing, I look forward to both, especially Matrix 4, because it means that Neo will bring Peace on Earth for EVERYBODY not just white people.

I really want to thank the makers of the Transformers cartoon, especially since the next movie series is so far away. For all of you that grew up on The Fast & The Furious, there is now a cartoon which you can introduce to those young ones. I also enjoy introducing them to the Spider-Man Disney TV series, with the great reminder that “With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.”

It’s 2020! There are many things to look forward to, including the Presidential Elections. Don’t be misguided, just because I’m liberal, just because I’m patriotic, just because I’m an Analyst doesn’t mean I demean the endgame. The endgame is that we must elect President Bernie Sanders to change this system. We cannot let Wall Street and the Healthcare Industry continue to profiteer off billion of dollars poor and sick people. The common American demands more. It demands help. [This statement has been redacted by the Department of Defense] Especially if you have an education. That’s what society taught us. Study hard, and you will get a job. We need a leader to help us with that vision for our country. We must pay teachers a decent salary so they stay in our school. We must employ more minority teachers, who speak multiple languages and can communicate with the students.

Finally, remember that the journey of life is not fun if it’s solo. May this be the year that you find that special someone if you haven’t already. Find yourself a woman that makes you think of “The Family Man,” or “You’ve Got Mail” not “Gone Girl.”

I got some goodies for Christmas including FIFA 20 and NBA 2K20. Can’t wait.

I saw the new Star Wars movie, wasn’t thrilled about the ending, I’m more excited about Baby Yoda, and it appears that we will see more of him in 2020. Hooray!

Special thanks to Hasan Minaj for his episode on Mental Health! Stop the Stigma!

Reminder: just because Obama releases his latest “favorite movies/music/books of the year,” doesn’t mean he is the only person in the world allowed to do that. Many of us have been doing this for years. Start listing your favorite movies/music/movies/games, you may only have 10 people listening to you, but those can turn into 100, and eventually a 1000 or more. Persevere, you can do it!

Until Next Time!
