In the beginning I was a blue collar man. After years my life became null and void and I failed to see any purpose in my existence. For I pursued a career avenue for which I had insufficient will and drive. So I abandoned this existence for something I already knew ... computer hardware, software, and media. I immersed myself in troubleshooting, repair, and programming in several languages.
What started as mostly a hobby became my career all of a sudden. The beauty of it all was the training I received from world class practitioners which I soaked up like a sponge. The right employment can always improve your skillset. Early on I branched out into teaching college — not because I enjoyed it, but for the $5,000 post tax take on it all.
Life was okay up to a point when I became unable to pursue those avenues I chose and became thrust into the very inferior microsoft technologies because everyone for whom I worked was stupid just like them.
So I retired.
Today is National Blue Collar Day. It is observed annually on December the 8th in an effort to recognize blue collar workers everywhere. Though the bulk of my career was not physical labor I did indeed work with my hands and engaged by brain via a keyboard.
Though white collar was my existence I always remained a blue collar man.
Happy National Blue Collar Day and don't let the stupid bastards hold you down.

Don’t advertise. If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money?Mr Musk addressed the fact that lost advertising revenues may signal the end of the X platform. He gave a personal shout out to Bob Iger the idiot in charge of Disney. Then, the interviewer tried to blame the ad situation on Mr Musk who told him to try to tell that lie to the world. BRAVO !
Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear?
Hey Bob, if you’re in the audience. That’s how I feel, don’t advertise.

It is said that electric Christmas lights were first invented in 1880 by Thomas Edison. Over the years I have learned to take statements of inventions attributed to Edison with a grain of salt given the massive credit he claimed for the work of others during his career.Regardless, Christmas lights remain an essential part of those decorations which make our spirits bright in the joyous season.

Today is Choose Women Wednesday.
It is observed the first Wednesday after thanksgiving as a vehicle utilized to appreciate, support, listen to and stand up for women.
It has been said that behind every good man there is a good woman.
Of late the feminists are trying to act as though they can exist in the total absence of men.
Be all of this as it may, I know of many instances where the synergy of men and women working together has been beneficial to the world in general.
I try to never casually dismiss anyone because of their gender ...
Unless it is that fallacy called trangender.
Choose Women. I always do at every opportunity.
Not some roll and tuck fake wannabe.

Today is National Cake Day. It is a day for the recognition of cake as a dessert or celebratory food item. Many cakes are simply delicious. Others are to be endured.
Personally I am a big fan of the German Chocolate, Devil's Food, Cheese, and Carrot varieties. Most any variation suits me just fine. There were a few vegan cakes that didn't float my boat.
Ice cream goes well with cake as a very popular dish. Birthdays ususally feature cakes with lit candles atop counting those years one has inhabited the planet.
So whatever your 'druthers' cake can likely fit the bill for anything you may have going on.
Happy National Cake Day !
