- National Resolution Planning Day 2022
-
Today is National Resolution Planning Day which is all about getting that head start on goals and resolutions for the upcoming new year.
Though I was in the past, I am not now normally one to make a lot of new years resolutions.
This is because I'm more of a spontaneous individual and I am aware of my problem areas and attempt to address those along and along.
I don't view the new year as a fresh start at this point in my life — more so a continuing work in progress.
Regardless, I think that those attempts at self improvement are a gallant effort for any person and should you feel the need to make resolutions you should do so in accordance with that which you feel about yourself.
Happy new year and good luck on those resolutions !

- Tick Tock Day 2022
-
Tick Tock Day is a reference to complete any unfinished tasks remaining as the year ends.
The clock is ticking away as it were ...
This reminder is your two day warning to get to it without further delay.
Of course, this is all relative to just how much time weighs into your 'to do' list.
Being retired, it no longer weighs too heavily upon my own.
Fortunately, I am not nearly the procrastinator I once was.
Anyway happy Tick Tock Day and I hope you're not too delinquent with your goings on.
The clock is ticking for us all !

- Pledge of Allegiance Day 2022
-
A hallmark of my public education was the Pledge of Allegiance.
We dutifully recited it as we stood before the flag with our right hands over our hearts.
There were some in my classes who did not participate for various reasons ... none of which are the stupid woke iterations of the present.
It instilled patriotism within me which has stood the test of time.
This is why I fight against the woke culture who are anti everything American.
It's why I will continue to fight the stupidity of woke culture and that unamerican perverse country they seek to create.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

- National Fruitcake Day 2022
-
I have liked fruitcake my entire lifetime.
While I admit to being a 'fruitcake bigot' as it were early on, I am happy to report a cultivation for the various flavors afforded by different recipes I have been permitted to taste over the years.
The candied fruit and nuts permeating a fruitcake appeal to me personally. My exposure to less mainstream recipes happened over time primarily from interacting with coworkers.
I recall my mother making fruitcakes then steeping them in rum and recalling how I couldn't taste the booze at all.
I also once had a piece of fruitcake that burned all the way down.
• I like dark cakes.
• I like light cakes.
• I like any combination of more fruit and more nuts.
• I like any combination less fruit and less nuts.
• I even like those more exotic varieties.
Things like cakes that don't appear as the traditional 'fruit cake' ... such as those my late grandma Ida used to make from time to time and set upon the dinner table.
Today is National Fruitcake Day. Whether you're a fan of the mainstream fruitcake or one of those exotics December 27 is your day to get out there and experience those flavors which piqued my interests early on.
Happy National Fruitcake Day !

- National Whiner's Day 2022
-
I remember the old Saturday Night Live way before they became the woke monstrosity they are presently. Piscopo and the real professional comics could ply their craft on we who were just there for the laughs.
There was a bit called "The Whiners" which aired every now and then. It was about a family of complaining human beings who were so funny with their incessant yammering.
So now we have a day set aside for whiners.
It corresponds to Saint Stephen's Day on December 26.
So if you feel the need whine on.
I would but it never does any good for me personally.
Happy Whiner's Day.

December 24 brings us yet another Christmas Eve, that day which immediately preceeds Christmas Day. As I reflect upon all that which has transpired on this day during my lifetime I remain in awe of all that I have been given atop the ultimate gift of being born and allowed to live.
A Merry Christmas to you all.

- The Eve of Christmas Eve 2022

So we are well into the holiday season with Christmas on the final approach and New Years on the way. I always turn sentimental at this time of year remembering my family and those members no longer with us.
In that sum total of who I am it is plain to see that the mush in me continues to surface during select times of the year. I sometimes think that my sentimentality left long ago with the cold reality which is working for individuals out to take credit for what you do or having no scruples or morality about them ...
Though they would feign sainthood and technical aptitude at every turn.
Then there is the matter of our so-called 'woke' generation which are simply a strong sicko selling point for eugenics and euthanasia for the masses. I sure hope they don't expect the entire nation to submit to their lack of science idiocy.
So while I pursue those matters important to me I hope you find your niche in all the mess which lay above the woke muck and the sick twisted minds imparted to the country by the democrats and their utter lack of anything good whatsoever.
Happy holidays to you and go terminate a woke scold, or a feminist or a transexual with extreme prejudice by any means necessary and make the world a better place.
Don't take their stupid abusive unscientific arrogance laying down.

- Mathematics Day 2022
-
Yeah, I was never a mathematician. I struggled with all manner of math primarily due to my resistance to my daddy's training techniques.
In the end, I learned to do algebra with words with both advanced facility and relative ease. This afforded me those capabilities others in my midst would have never thought I would be capable.
If you can code with skill you can code to solve math problems. I'm living proof ...
Suffice it to say with the ability to write subroutines to handle the mechanics the math monster was tamed totally and without compromise.
Today is Mathematics Day. It is held each December 22 in celebration of India’s famed mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
He is one who could actually be called genius and his work is second to none on a par with any great math mind who has ever lived.
So, even though I couldn't cut the mustard without a microprocessor and sufficient hardware resources there are others who mastered the theory and practicalities of math within the confines of that great computing device they carry between their ears.
Happy Mathematics Day and Happy Birthday Srinivasa Lyengar Ramanujan.

- Winter Solstice and Yule 2022
-
It is the Winter Solstice. This is the shortest day of the year. From today you will observe shorter nights and longer days. AKA the hibernal solstice it happens with either of Earth's poles reaches a maximum tilt away from the Sun.
It happens for each hemisphere and indicates that the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky.
Along with the winter solstice commences Yule. It began as a part of those festivities held on the Winter solstice. It features candles and lights which symbolize guiding becon for Yeshua the Christ. Some feel that these evolved from the Yule Log which was lit to entice the sun to return to the Yule festival in scandinavia, the origin of the festival.
There are a number of pagan beliefs from which Yule evolved. This include the Holly King handing over power to the Oak King. This ushers in a new season of light according to tradition.
Have a cool Yule !

- That failure called the Search Engine
-
So. We've reached that point where everyone has followed google's misguided lead that cooking the search engine results is the only way to go.
Organic search engines which return what you're looking for seems to be a thing of the past.
After those failures called google, duckduckgo, and bing couldn't show me what I was looking for I opted for the canned version owned by the site I was visiting.
I went shopping on the sites of several big box stores and their search engines are just as pitiful as the big three.
Somewhere the conventional wisdom has become "disregard what the user seeks" just show them what you want them to see.
Consequently, I have reduced those ecommerce outlets I once frequented by several.
I'd just as soon walk into a brick and mortar store and look around anymore than trust some faulty search logic such as that promoted by google and adopted by too many others who think they are so-called "experts".
Google is either stupid or has ulterior motives regarding what a search engine is supposed to provide to the user. Likely both. If you are a google proponent you are either stupid or unable to think critically. Aren't you tired of overt manipulation and subterfuge as a way of life?
When you are looking for an item to purchase in particular and get everything but that item aren't you just a little suspicious ?

- A Christmas Carol is first published in 1843
-
Over the years I've seen many versions of the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol.
The story of Ebenezer Scrooge has been presented in different productions beginning with the Mr Magoo Christmas Carol through the Bill Murray comedy Scrooged to the avant garde version from 2019 adapted by Steven Knight and starring Guy Pearce, Andy Serkis, and Stephen Graham.
It's telling on my age to have witnessed so many productions of the same classic work which was first published on this day in 1843 with some 6000 copies being sold.
So this leaves me having both read the book several times and viewed many different iterations of the story on the stage and large and small screens.
I keep wondering if any underlying karma of this exists.
Regardless, I highly recommend being dipped in A Christmas Carol every now and then if you're so inclined.
There is a certain amount of leveling to be gained by the spirit when you sit through the entire performance and consider what you're seeing.
I rather think the 3 hours television miniseries is a bit long in the tooth for a straight no commercial break viewing as mother and I did a few weeks back.

- International Migrants Day 2022
-
As we observe International Migrants Day on December 18, we reflect upon the challenges and difficulties faced by our law abiding citizens living under the criminal Biden administration and his aim to swell the voter rolls with worthless individuals seeking entitlements.
I don't mean to come off as inhospitable or anything, but billboards were placed in Mexico and South America enticing people to migrate to the United States by the democratic party promising free everything.
If everybody is on the dole who is going to pay the taxes required to maintain these impossible entitlements stupid democratic party of the United States of America ? This is their rationale for increasing the democratic voters ... rob every tax payer to give entitlements to people who don't do anything except collect a government check.
We need to get rid of Biden and the rest of the border criminal democrats before it's too late. They are out to destroy the Republic and turn it into their personal socialist woke police welfare state for the benefit of their entitlement seeking cronies.
The reality of migration is destruction of our way of life due to an incessant drain of resources by foreigners sought by the democrats in order to usurp the Republic with those who have not and will not ever pay into the system.
Legal entry is one thing. However, all foreign nationals entering illegally should be purged by any means necessary and taught that when you violate our borders circumventing legal migration you will NEVER be welcome.
Die freeloader illegal alien migrants die.
Boo !
