Murder, Pedophiles, War, Riots, and Books

 


 "There is no friend as loyal as a book."

     Charlie Kirk, a hardcore Donald Trump supporter and a right-wing political activist, was shot dead yesterday. He was hit in the neck and died instantly. As of this writing, the shooter hasn’t been identified and arrested.  Mr. Kirk supported gun ownership and thought there should be a couple of deaths by guns every year so people would realize the necessity of owning a gun. Also, he said that he couldn’t stand the word empathy and thought that it was a made-up term that was damaging. Also, he hated gays and people of color.

     A few days ago, a birthday card supposedly written more than twenty years ago by US President Donald Trump and sent to demonic pedophile and child abuser and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was made public. The card showed the drawing of a teenage girl’s nude body with Trump’s signature serving as its pubic hair and inside the body was Trump’s birthday message to Epstein. In his message, Trump wished for more wonderful secrets with Epstein. Trump first claimed that the card didn’t exist, and when it was released, claimed that his signature was forged. Trump’s administration, according to world media, is doing everything to distract the American people from connecting him to Epstein’s crimes—and they mean everything, to the point that they would probably have someone murdered just to take people's mind off Trump's connection to Epstein.  

     Russia sent drones inside’s Poland’s airspace, which were quickly destroyed. And now some are saying that it was an act of war and that it could lead to World War 3.

     Anti-corruption protests and riots are still raging in Indonesia and Nepal. Citizens of both countries are entering their politicians’ homes and offices and ransacking and burning them. They are also assaulting politician and government officials they see on the streets.

     A few Filipino politicians have been implicated in the DPWH corruption scandals. Not surprising, and I think not only a few politicians are involved, I’m sure it’s a lot, and I also think that the Philippines, my country, is on the brink of going Nepal and Indonesia’s way.

     The world is probably ending, and corrupt, wicked, and greedy politicians/leaders are to blame.

     Meanwhile, while humanity still exists, please be informed that Manila International Book Fair is currently happening (from September 10 to 14) at SMX Convention Center. If you love books, it will be a paradise for you. Close all your social media accounts, buy a few nice books, go home and read them and step into another world, a world that is dreamy, charming, magical and kind.

    This world is not kind.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

While The Room Dances (And The Night Sways)

Image
       Few days ago, I had another bout of severe dizziness. The last one occurred a few years ago, way before the pandemic. I woke up at around two in the morning with my room spinning and I was perspiring really cold sweats. I thought I was about to have a heart attack (that is what Google will tell you when you look for it) so I grabbed my phone when the vertigo subsided and deactivated my Facebook account. That has been my plan, to have my social media account die with me. So I lay there (strangely relaxed) in my bed while the room danced in the darkness and the night swayed and cold sweats broke out from every part of my body and waited for the attack. It's not that I had a heart illness, but it's really a symptom of an incoming heart attack, plus, I wasn't really thinking coherently at that time-- but fortunately, nothing came.      My vertigo, Google also suspected, was probably caused instead by severe attack of allergic rhinitis;...
