Hello there! I was really thankful for Beatport and their livestream on Saturday for Drum & Bass. It was awesome and I was glad to donate to the United Nations / WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Thank you to Ubisoft for those Watch Dogs walkthroughs. I’m learning more about the world of Formula 1! There’s a Netflix series, and F1 2019 is on PS4. These guys have an almost “fighter pilot” mentality to be able to do what they do.

I’m starting to realize that a ton of people who never had to deal with Mental Health suddenly are very distressed. Remember, you can do it, you will be okay, it just takes time. For me, it took years of therapy. But, you will be fine. You Are Not Alone. Check out NAMI.org.

So much income inequality in the United States! Do you see why Thomas Piketty was right? Why his books on the subject are so important? Educate yourself. Read. Then read some more.

I hope Bernie Sanders continue to push for a $2000/month stipend for Americans until the end of the COVID-19. We need it, especially since Unemployment system is completely kaput and not working, with millions of people still unable to receive their checks.

Because it’s important to lead by example, not only did I take a class this Spring 2020, but I’m taking one for Summer 2020. Keep up with your studies, it is very important. If you think finding a job is hard now, just imagine how tough it will be when the pandemic is over and a quarter of America are looking for work.

Anybody that needs either a Business Analyst / Data Analyst / Project Coordinator / Project Manager, contact me on LinkedIn. I have 9 years of experience as an Analyst, and I have handled some of the biggest projects out there, and wrote numerous business procedures (BPs). Just because I work on Superintelligence, don’t write me off as overqualified. I’m eager to work in the Technology and Government sectors. My work speaks for itself.

Thank you, Drake, for your new mixtape! Can’t wait for your new album this summer! I think that along with The Weeknd are the two best albums out there right now (that aren’t dance music).

I’m slowly updating edmlibrary.com with old episodes of JETLAG RADIO. As you can see, over the past 5-6 years I have shared thousands of tracks, give it a listen, you might find something you like/love listening to.

The Michael Jordan documentary is bringing tears to my eyes. It’s been very emotional watching this series.

Also, why do many people still glamorize bad guys (I’m looking at the best-seller movies/tv shows)? Do you think Joker and Harley Quinn are going to save you from COVID-19 or do you think it’s gonna be Batman and the Justice League? You can’t hate on the good guys and only ask for their help when it’s convenient. Do you know how that makes people feel? I’m also calling for a new name for the COVID-19 virus. Calling it a Coronavirus is giving psychological trauma to every Fast & Furious fan. Why are we calling it a Coronavirus but not a Halo virus? Does that mean that Microsoft has more pull than the Corona beer company? Give it some obscure name. Or the name it deserves, the C-Virus. Because we’re dealing with some goddamn Umbrella Corporation bullshit right now. Even the Secretary of State admitted as well.

I implore everybody to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution & Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. We need Square Enix / EIDOS Montreal to announce the third game in the trilogy.

Let’s hope the vaccine comes here sooner than the 18 months it will probably take.

May the Fourth Be With You! Baby Yoda is here for you. Check out the new documentary of The Mandalorian.

Love you all, be safe, and always wear a mask in public. I know it’s not easy, but remember, it’s a whole lot easier than being in a hospital on a ventilator unable to breathe.

Until next time!
