  • My thoughts on Venezuela and what may happen in the future.

    I’ve been following a few people on YouTube from the left, centre and right so I can see what their analysis of the situation is and I thought I may as well throw my 5 cents worth out into the ether of the internet. At the moment there is a lot of speculation in the…

  • End of the first week back.

    End of the first week back at work after having Christmas off – finished work at 10pm, did some light weights during the day, went for a brief walk, picked up a few things from the store and headed back home. Relaxing in bed watching some tv series and seeing the whole Venezuela situation unfold.…

  • Create a crisis to justify the elimination of funding.

    I’ve held off writing something regarding the whole Minnesota day care manufactured scandal to see what came of it and low and behold it had all the validity of a Project Veritas/James O’Keefe ‘exposé’ along with all the misleading claims and bot accounts boosting videos on YouTube that supported the narrative. What has happened since…

  • It makes me wonder.

    I was watching a few videos tonight regarding the changes in the mandates in the United States regarding pollution regulations and fuel economy standards regarding whether the series of steps to deregulate is setting the car industry up to a change in tariff policy between the United States and China. I say this because at…

  • Don’t allow time to absolve people not taking responsibility for their political decisions.

    I’ve been noticing that towards the end of the first year of the second Trump administration that there is a concerted effort by people to rebrand/reinvent themselves or if they’re not as high profile they’re purging their timeline as if their past position regarding Trump will magically disappear. We saw this in the first term…

  • End of the year draws near.

    Just before I head off to sleep, the end of the year draws near and I look back at what has happened throughout the year, I have to admit that personally I’ve had a good year getting closer to my health goals but that being said it hasn’t been a great year outside of that…

  • A productive day.

    Today was productive, after getting all that I needed at Bunnings and The Warehouse I popped into the local Pak ‘n Save to pick up some shopping (chicken wings, salad and a few other bits and pieces) and I also stocked up on some Pepsi Max 2L that was on special – take advantage of…

  • Everything is ready for tomorrow.

    I had a sleep in today then mum came around to help out with the garden where we took out the pebbles along with the weed matting and then removed all the weeds, placed the cardboard underneath then the weed matting on top then the pebbles were added on top of that and now I’ve…

  • Wasn’t going to but ended up buying presents.

    Normally over the festive season we don’t give presents to each other but my sister and her partner decide to get something for me so what I decided to do is get something for them along with something for mum as well. I didn’t go overboard but each of them were something unique that I’m…

  • A good start to the week.

    Had a relaxing day at home, tidying up around the place, had a chat to mum about the work I’d like to do around the yard – funny how as soon as I mentioned that it started spitting outside. Well, it wasn’t enough to stop me from going for a walk so I went for…
