Good morning. ☕️🌄

*Please forgive the grammatical errors, Charlotte. "I command it!"

BEFORE we get to the insane political part of this blog....

It's been a while but the crazy Asian woman and her dog once again walked intentionally in front of me this morning on the pathway behind the house. She was standing in the middle of the path but when she saw me coming she walked directly in front of me. I have no idea who this crazy Asian woman is. I completely forgot about her from the last time she did it, and in truth I couldn't even point her out in a lineup of four other Asian women. There's nothing special about her look. She looks like millions of other Asian women. For some reason she is desperate to make herself known to me. I can only rationally conclude she must have some kind if mental illness, poor thing. If she were 70 years old I'd just chalk it up to possible dementia but she's like 30 years old. Then again she could be retarded, or have autism which seems to be very en vogue right now. I never heard discussions of autism until 2025 and now it's everywhere. It's also possible she's a lesbian. It's annoying when men hit on me because it's never the men I'm interested in, but it's more annoying when women hit on me because I'm not gay. So, mental illness, retardation, autism, or lesbian. Are the younger female generations okay? Seriously.

My late night doom scrolls have an unsettling amount of angry Asian females between 18 - 35 years of age complaining about OMG everything. What a waste of youth. At least it somewhat explains the angry Asian chick who intentionally runs into me on the desert trail. Young Asian females be CRAZY. Good thing white dudes like crazy. I've always wondered if white women, and Asian men, get PO'd at the high number if white men with Asian women or any women of color.

2026 has THEE record high number of un/diagnosed mental illness (in America) due to, what, population, drugs and/or the social media trend of just being mad? Growing up, the only mentally ill person in my small home town was my dad's first wife. If my home town were five times bigger there might have been one or two other known mentally ill people but in this day and age it feels like 1-out-of-3 people, young people, have some kind of deep psychological disturbance.

Younger generations pick stage names like D4VD and then get arrested for murder at 21 years of age. I think he's the dude who was caught driving around in his Tesla with a dead girl for like seven months (seven months!) When the younger generations aren't flexing on TikTok about how bad their lives are, how miserable their dating lives are, how Boomers and Gen X'ers are to blame for all of their misery and woe, they're out there trying to be like the Heath Ledger's Joker only they're really really bad at it. Your parents failed you. And who are their parents - guys like Elon Musk who, according to daddy Google, named his 2021 offspring (oh dear) Exa Dark Siderael, AKA "Y". Is that for real?! Remember when Tiffanie with an "ie" was an automatic eyeroll. At least we kept it in the actual alphabet. Now first names have numbers in them. These kids are so unhappy. Miserable. They don't know how to connect with anyone. Their online flex is, "My life is so crappy!"

A Gen X flex, people I met 30 years ago in the neighborhood bar are still my friends today. An even harder flex, kids I met pre-kindergarten are still my friends today. Older millennials might have the same flex but younger generations seemingly have zero interest making lifelong connections with anyone - maybe their parents for as long as they take care of them. What I have noticed with the younger generations, not only do they not give AF about anyone else beyond "like and subscribe" they complain they're lonely and then blame everyone else for their lack of friends and partners. Back in the day, in the 80's, you actually had to be a Rockstar or a famous athlete to be so narcissistic, not some lonely 17 year old Asian girl with a Tiktok account, ring light, and a drawer full of hideous makeup.

AND ANOTHER THING

WHY are young Asian women wearing thick black eyeliner to make their eyes more almond "slanty". God made your face automatically this way, you nut. 🤓 Other women are actually trying to look like US, there is zero effort needed on your part. There's an Asian guy who made a humorous Tiktok response to the Asian girl who "sliced an apple" with her jawline, only he quartered an apple by running it across his eyes. Awesome.👌🏼

4, 5, and 6, YOU guys could change this if you wanted.

Don't forget to like and subscribe. 😏 Gen Beta will never appreciate riding a bicycle with your friends from dawn 'til the street lights come on.

My Gen X generation will be the only survivors of an alien meteor, zombie virus, or manmade dinosaurs. Maybe some of the Millennial elders will survive. Everyone else is dying, no question.

Anyway

Huh. I thought the government started doing this in the 70's.

Be grateful, fellas, the government doesn't also require you serve 18 months no later than your 26th birthday like many other countries all over the world.

I imagine some of these BTS fellas were able to defer service due to special circumstances thus being older than the required age limit, or so I'm guessing. I suppose they also wanted to serve at the same time to be out at the same time. I read about all of them serving their military duty. Respect. It was big international news much like when Elvis served two years in the military reserve. No bone spurs on BTS or Elvis. 😏

I have so much respect for military men (and women) who serve their country. What I don't respect are the men who didn't serve, and we all know at least one, but still say things like, "My grandfather fought in WW2!" when they think it will win them political arguments. Politicians do this all the time. "My grandfather fought in WW2!" Cool. Did YOU serve in the military too? "No. But so what?! MY GRANDFATHER fought in WW2!!" It's so disrespectful when men try getting military props for something someone else did. What do they call that again, oh right, a form of stolen valor. It's called stolen valor.

My dad served in the U.S. Air Force. He died in his 70's, so old age, cancer, several years ago, but the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provided a 13-fold flag at his funeral. Hey, did you know the 13th fold always have the stars visible to represent our country's motto, "In God We Trust."

Photo taken just before laying my dad to rest. No one dramatically handed the flag to my dad's widow and saluted her like you see in the movies. Dad didn't die in combat. The flag was presented as an honorary thank you from the V.A. They give one to all military service people when they die. No bone spurs on dad. 😏 He did have polio as a child but dad was in the field of dentistry. No marching.

That's a political point in J.D. Vance's favor, he served four years in the Marine Corps and was reportedly a military journalist deployed in Iraq. No bone spurs on Vance. 😏

I have to say, Vance vs Newsom for president is an exciting thought. I would really be into that presidential race. Who would be Vance's VP I wonder.

As I mentioned before, in 2021 I had an ischemic stroke. I was living in LA at the time and had signed up for LA CARE the year before when Covid started doing it's thing. Thanks to LA CARE (and all the first responders) I'm alive today. Thank you Governor Newsom.

Hey my fellow Gen X'ers, who remembers "A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter." Yeah you do. Thats our Sesame Street from the 70's! I've been saying this lately when I go to the grocery store. I've been feeling very nostalgic lately.

I saw this quote recently:

"What is gone has already served its time. The past is behind me and I release it with peace. The future is not mine to control. It belongs to God." Amen.

I was 45 years old when my divorce was finalized. It took two years. Two long painful agonizing years. Thank goodness I had Sheldon then, and friends who supported me.

Twelve years later nothing makes me happier than falling in love. My divorce broke my heart in such a way I never thought I would want to get married again but here we are. I want to get married again so much so I've been looking at wedding dresses. My first wedding dress was a classic long flowing chiffon white wedding dress with lace and beaded pearl. It screamed first time eager bride. I loved that dress. It looked almost exactly like this one below. It was the most beautiful dress I ever owned. Ten years after my divorce I donated it to charity. Wedding dresses are VERY expensive. It was $600 in 2003 just to get it hemmed.

I was in my early 30's when I got married in 2003. This wedding dress today is called "modest" and "vintage" compared to the almost-nothing-there lingerie style wedding dresses of today. Sigh.

Below is my next wedding dress I think circa romance in a field of flowers and lilac until death do us part. Not a white dress, of course. 😏 I cringe when I see women over 50 wear a white wedding dress. You're not fooling anyone my dears. 😄 Chiffon, this fabric needs to make comeback.

Never trust a man older than 50 who never married. 🚩It means he has never loved a woman enough to commit before God. 🚩

Marriage is a promise to God. You marry in the presence of God. You say your vows as if you're saying them to God. You're thanking God when exchanging vows for it was He that brought you two together. If you are smart enough to follow your heart, you owe it to God to marry the mate He has chosen for you.

If you're going to get in the ring all hot and heavy bad mouthing Christianity, perhaps, and this is mere suggestion, first read the Bible yourself, read Catholic catechism (good luck!) And then read Martin Luther's reformation (AKA Lutheran catechism, don't worry it's a much shorter book) BEFORE you post things on Twitter you know absolutely nothing about. Be a Christian, don't be a Christian, I couldn't care less. I'm actually against missions of conversion. Just know what you're talking about before you post things like, "What does that guy mean "Follow the Bible not the Pope" like does he even know what Christianity is?!" (Oh dear) Clearly you do not. All the reading material is online for free. Leave poor Grok alone!

FYI when he said, "Follow the Bible not the Pope" he's basically saying he's a protestant not a Catholic. Protestants have no use for a Pope, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals, and priests, that in part is what makes them protestants. Again, you would need to read Luther's Reformation (translated) FREE ONLINE. That said, some Popes I truly respect even though I'm not Catholic. There are some priests I truly respect. The measure of a man regardless of religion is not by the things he says and prays to, but by what he does.

Catholics and Protestants are both Christians but they are not the same. As I like to say, Catholicism is Christianity's origin story - but then - (most) Catholics chose to start their sermons and prayers with the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - that's why they wear crucifixes. Protestants are more like ChrIst's disciples who walked with Christ from the beginning to the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, that's why protestants wear plain crosses if anything, PS Christ wasn't the only one crucified and killed. SPOILER ALERT! All of them were killed but John, Judas suicided riddled with guilt.

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

--Mathew 27:5

The silver pieces that purchased the soul of Judas were buried in the Cemetery Of Blood once a potters field.

No sitting president was/is FOOLISH enough to wage war with the Pope.

Trump: "Hold my beer!"

Agreed, Holy Father. When our faith is under attack we must ignore our differences.

Please don't suggest he become protestant. We don't want him unless he repents all past sins/offesnses against God and quite frankly no one has that kind of time.
