Start of February

I didn't mention this in my last blog post but my sister in law's Mum passed away during the previous week, it came out of the blue without warning, I feel pity for my sister in law and her family. This is what life is, waiting to die and trying to find meaning in the chaos. How sad it is. 

I was also thinking about the Spotify Boycott. What had happened is a talkshow podcaster called Joe Rogan had invited vaccine skeptic doctors onto his show and they presented information that is considered to be incorrect about the vaccines. Some musicians reacted by removing their music from the streaming service. I'm in two minds about their reaction, I don't like the idea of trying to topple people's talkshows because they put a lot of work into it and he doesn't talk about vaccines all the time. On the other hand, I wouldn't want a group of people to abstain from vaccines because of a lie then die from an infection that could have been prevented by the vaccine. It's better not to talk about it I say. I wouldn't want to be responsible for some people's deaths, even a joke can be dangerous. This is an example of causing death with your mouth. You can literally cause a person's death just by saying something so I would say be careful what you talk about. Don't just say what comes into your head. 

5 Strange Years

In 2016 a lot of strange things were happening, firstly many celebrities started dying; George Michael, David Bowie, David Guest and Prince to name a few. Then we had a referendum in the UK to choose if we leave the EU. The United Kingdom as a whole voted to leave. Later that year, Donald Trump was elected in America, he was also against trading blocks, political unions, and soft borders.  

I got Married in November 2016. 

For five years the UK couldn't decide how they will leave, some leaders wanted a second referendum. Others wanted to cancel Brexit, some wanted us to be part of the common market and leave the political union, some of them wanted a clean break with a follow up deal later. Parliament was pulling itself in different directions for 4 years. It got particularly bad in 2019, they were rejecting all the exit deals and amendments and no party had full control of the house of commons. The Conservatives were in a coalition with the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) to keep control of Parliament, a big compromise in my view. Then a New group of conservative leaders stepped up with a very clear agenda and gained a majority in parliament with a snap election in Christmas 2019. 

Then a Pandemic came along and caused chaos to the whole world. Supply chains were disrupted during that time and many people couldn't work or trade. Inflation and civil unrest became the norm during that time. Many people were killed by the virus itself. 

What will happen now? I don't know. 

Last bit of November

It is the last bit of November, the word at the dinner table at the moment is Omicron variant. The theme this month is gun related court and a sick winter. 

 A new variant of Covid19 has emerged from South Africa, they are calling it the Omicron variant. We don't know very much about it, only that it spreads very fast and the spike protein is different so it may escape antibodies from our current vaccines. It is also winter so there is less UV light to destroy the virus particles. It is our first winter with the Delta Variant so it is very challenging at the moment. I don't know what is going to happen but I stay optimistic that it will be better than last year; I feel like there has been no normal for the last 2 years. To visit hospitality places, we need to book a 15 minute time slot, even if the venue is free entry and everything is done with caution and spacing out in mind. 

What July 2021 Means to me

July 2021 was all about the so called 'pingdemic', billionaire space quest, an assassination, delayed sports events and my Birthday. 

On the 19th of July restrictions were lifted and we were free to go to any place we liked. It was during the last 2 weeks of July that our high-tech defence against the Pandemic infection turned against us in ways we never imagined. Many Brits have a track and trace NHS app running on their phone. What happens is your phone makes a list of people that were near you using Blue Tooth radio signals. If you test positive for Covid19, the app will inform all the people that were near you to self isolate for a week. The problem is blue tooth can go were no virus ever could. It can pass through a solid brick wall or through the ceiling of an apartment. If I went to a BBQ and tested positive for Covid19 the next day every person there would also have to self isolate and everyone living in nearby houses would also have to self isolate. I could literally put a whole street full of people out of work for a week just from walking in front of their home. This caused many problems in labour intensive jobs like delivery supply chains and theatre shows. The problem was made worse because we are in the holiday season and don't feel free to fly overseas. 

At the start of the Month, the elected leader of Haiti, a man called Jovenel was assassinated in his home by professional hit men. I was amazed that the whole world didn't seem to care. Many people to this day don't know that the leader of the Caribbean nation of Haiti was assassinated or they don't care. 

It was my birthday in July, I went out to a few places with my family and had my favourite milestone drink, a small glass of whiskey filled just two thirds the way up. I don't drink much alcohol throughout the year. Just two small glasses. During the last week of July I took my son to the coast for the first time in his life. 

England went to the final of the European football Championship and lost. The 2020 Olympic games in Japan was started after being cancelled for a whole year because of the Pandemic. Some of the England fans were very disorderly. 

Two Billionaires and some of their friends went on a space quest, they went to a place where the top of the atmosphere meets true space, a kind of fuzzy zone where it is not clear if you are in space. Their so called space ships look cool but I wasn't amused; Instead I started to look at web sites were they make affordable arcade machines so I could have Happy thoughts. I didn't even want to think about the attitude of other people in this world. 

Happy thoughts. 

Start of Japanese Olympics

In my view, the Japanese are very unlucky. They are the only nation in the world that was nuked. They live on Islands that often gets hit by powerful Tsunamis. They get many very strong earth quakes too often. Now they are hosting the Olympic games during a Pandemic infection. The whole world is sick and they have to be very careful. I saw the drones making a globe and thought that was cool. 

It was in the weeks preceding the Olympic games  that two billionaires built space ships and went into space. There is a debate about whether the place they went to is actually Space. If it is proven that they actually only went to the top of the atmosphere then they would be demoted from astronauts to rocketeers and their space ship would be reclassified as a surface to air penis 😆. 

People are still debating if  Covid19 came from a lab in China. If it did, I imagined it would be because they have their own equivalent to Homer Simpson working in the lab, a careless fool. I imagined him walking out of the lab with a test tube hanging out of his side pocket and throwing it out of the window while he is driving and then a kid running over it with a skateboard and breaking it open. 

What June 2021 means to me

It was in the month of June 2021 that the United Kingdom hosted the G7 summit in Cornwall on a privately owned beach hotel resort and had a dinner on the Eden project premises. I have never been to the Eden project because I live on the other side of the country and never got around to it but I became curious about that part of my country. 

One of the simplest lifeforms on Earth has caused chaos and death throughout the world. Corona viruses are so simple that their code is stored as RNA instead of DNA. RNA fibers are a representation of one side of the DNA strand. In June the Delta Variant of Covid19 had dealt a blow to our return to normality. In the middle of the month our government decided to extend the restrictions until 19th of July. The Health Secretary was caught cheating on his wife and quit his job. He was replaced by another slick city banker.  I'm not going to compare the elected government to pirates on this blog. 

One thing that has been overlooked this month is the price of fuel. Since the Suiz Canal got blocked in spring, the price of fuel increased by 10p per liter. The increase stayed and now many people are driving to local places for holiday so the price of fuel is now about £1.30 per liter. I think that is a 15p increase. To me that is an eye watering cost, a full tank costs me £40 now. 

I re-read through a book called "23 minutes in Hell" by Bill Wiese. It was about a man that claimed he was taken to hell for 23 minutes. I like to read non fiction journal books on my Kindle. I became obsessed with Hell again and often used the key words "NDE Hell"( near death experience) to find videos on youTube about people that think they have seen Hell. I like to listen to their stories and look for inconsistencies. 

I was thinking about planets quite often because I knew the Juno probe is coming to the end of it's service and will soon be destroyed. If we discovered another 50 planets in the solar system, I wouldn't be surprised. It takes less than one day for light to reach the observed solar system but the gravity influence of our Sun goes half way out to the next Star. There could even be objects orbiting our star more than a light year away and we would be oblivious. 

There was also tensions near the Crimea peninsular but I don't want to think about it. 

Trump Sick

I recently learned that Donald and Evanka Trump both have a Covid19 infection. I wish them both a quick recovery and good health. 

My country UK is trying to stop the Covid19 virus using a smart phone app. The idea is to create many dead ends for the disease, it tells you when you were near someone that had tested positive for covid19 so you can test yourself before you have symptoms and self isolate early so you won't transmit the disease to another person. I hope it works. I think it uses Bluetooth to scan other people's unique app ID. 

There is one test I would love to do but I have put it on ice because of the Pandemic. I would like to see what iphones do when you connect a Bluetooth input device to it. I have a bluetooth keyboard and touchpad, when I connect it to my android phone, my phone behaves like a desktop computer. A mouse pointer appears on the screen and the keyboard gets overridden by the Bluetooth one. This effect is the same with all android devices, phone, tablet, smart TV with android & bluetooth, android TV box with bluetooth, they all behave like a desktop pc when a bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo is connected to them. Would the same be true of an apple product? 

I will wait until the Pandemic is gone to find out, we get no visitors at the moment so there is no way for me to try. 

R going up

The Covid19 virus is still around and infecting many people. Here in the UK we measure the transmission rate as "R". If the R rate is above 1 then the epidemic is growing in size because each person infected is infecting more than one person on average. 

Right now the "R" rate is above one, I think it is 1.3. This means that some people are infecting more than one person on average. If the "R" was at 2 then we would be in trouble because the epidemic would grow twice as big every 2 weeks. 

I wonder what will happen in winter when there is less sunlight to destroy the virus particles. The ultraviolet light in the sun destroys viruses, but the days are getting shorter all the time and eventually we will be in winter, this means we will have more active virus particles everywhere. 

Just a thought

I was wondering what they will do with all those Acrylic plexiglass panels that shield cashiers when the Covid19 virus is beaten or mutates into a mild nuisance? Perhaps they can rebuild crystal palace, or just leave them there for the next Bat eater's disease. 

There is already people super glueing themselves to the road to fight climate change. I recall in 2019 a man superglued himself to an airplane, if I was the pilot I would takeoff anyway, put the glue to the test, just kidding. I think in the same year a man climbed onto a tube train. There are lots of trains in India, he could go and protest there. 

I have become obsessed with mini arcade machines. They are very collectable. If I am able to get my man cave I will keep many of them in there on shelves inside glass cabinets. The make that stands out a lot is "My Arcade". The key words to find it on YouTube or other video platform is "my Arcade","mini arcade", "small arcade machine", "portable arcade machine". They make replicas of the original machines, the "Pac Man" one is particularly good, some of them even have backlit marques. 

What April 2020 means to me

It is the last Day of April and we are in the last third of Spring, much of the world is facing a lockdown to slowdown the spread of the covid19 virus. Many people have been killed by the infection, many people survived the infection but faced critical sickness. 

At the beginning of the month I was exposed to many claims of conspiracy. The conspiracy theories were old conspiracies that had resurfaced and become associated with the Pandemic. For more than a year people have been claiming that 5g radio transmitters are a hazard to health, many people were claiming that the symptoms of covid19 were caused by the transmitters being turned on. I never believed that was true. Some people also believe that the virus was made in a laboratory to cause financial loss, I don't think so, I think the virus came from wild animals. Viruses in wild animals find a way to infect humans all the time and I think that is what happened last winter in China. 

Here I am in my son's second spring, me and my wife celebrated his 1st birthday isolated from all the other Brits and Peruvian family. Just our home, alone. No Cafè, no eating out, no clothes shopping and no hair cut at the barbers. Our town centre is like a post apocalyptic dead zone. There was nothing to do except read and watch and play at home. Jacob is now able to walk with assistance and I think he will be able to walk freely by the end of spring. 

During the second half of spring I saw people around the world criticizing their governments because of the progress of the disease. In my view, you can't compare different countries because some places are more crowded then others and some economies are more brittle than others and no one had the gift of hindsight to start with. I just lost interest in the whole thing to be honest. I'm sick of it all. Sick of all the blaming and the mistrust and anxiety on the faces of other people.

Boris in Hospital

The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in Hospital because of his Covid19 infection. I wish him a quick recovery and good health. 

I hope they finish the Covid19 Vaccine soon. There are people that are against vaccines but they shouldn't worry. 

Most vaccines are made by injecting the real virus into giant cells like chickens eggs. The cell produces many copies of the viruses until it is completely filled with them. Then the swarm of viruses are passed under powerful ultraviolet radiation, the radiation destroys the viruses' DNA and makes them useless but leaves the outside casing of the virus intact. The white blood cells in our blood  study the outer casing of the Virus, so that is all they need to learn how to make antibody proteins. When you get the working virus you would already be producing antibodies that disable the viruses. Vaccines definitely work so don't be concerned.  

5G Covid19 Conspiracy

The roads are largely empty at present but I still see over powered cars smashed up on the side of the road. I think some of these car companies should change their logo to a skull. If you crash your car and the truth doesn't make sense then the lie to cut a long story short is "cramp in both legs". 

Some people are telling me there is a connection between covid19 and 5G masts. I don't think there is because the radio waves in 5g masts are a millimetre long, similar to the WiFi signals in your home. They are harmless in my opinion. 

The thing I am worried about  is 5g is connected to driverless automated vehicles (remote si and live satnav maps) , people that work behind a wheel may be out of a job soon. It would be nice to have a small subscription fee and have machines move you anywhere you like but they should be deliberately slower than vehicles driven by people so they may keep their jobs and have one competitive edge. 

I won't have a use for 5g because 4g is fast enough for me. I get all the internet I need from 4g. 

Mental health pandemic

One thing I have noticed is that many Brits seem to be stressed and suffering their own mental hell. They are afraid of the outcome of this Lockdown and feel helpless, they don't know what is going to happen to them. All I can do for my fellow Brits is try to give you some comfort. 

You are not free to go outside so try to play computer games and read about things that have nothing to do with the virus and watch videos of people making things on youtube and perhaps a few mystery shows on Netflix about solving crimes. Some favourite books of mine are Holocaust Memoirs, paranormal books and back stories to sci fi movies. The Bible book of Daniel is also very interesting. 

Keep your chin up and try not to think about the chaos that is happening all around you. If this blog gives you comfort then feel welcome to read it and if does nothing for you then don't read it, it is just a blog and I won't feel sad if no one reads it. 

Remember to pray my friend. Tell God how you feel and get it all off your chest. 

Watching crafts

It is spring 2020 and I will call it the lockdown Spring because many countries around the planet have imposed a lockdown to stop covid19 spreading. People can't leave their homes freely. Here in Britain we are only allowed outside to work, get food and go to hospital, essential things like that. 

For me the best way to get through a lockdown is to go on youtube and watch people make things. I love to watch people make lamps and tables using Epoxy resin and to make clever little things out of plastic bottles, stuff like that. I also love to write blog entries and make my own drawings, I rarely share them but do like to draw pictures, by my own standards my artwork is in need of improvement but that is the wonder of having such a hobby, seeing how much better you can be. 

I will write out some lockdown keywords for youtube to help you my friend get through this pandemic. They are ...

Crafts 

Epoxy resin 

Epoxy resin project

Epoxy resin lamp 

Epoxy resin table 

Home made fountain

Cleaver home craft toys 

Home made game 

DIY project 

The beauty of this list is that you don't need sound. You can play it with the sound off if you have a baby sleeping nearby. 

Keep your chin up and try not to think about the chaos that is happening all around you. 

May God keep us safe. 

Covid 19

I think that the Covid 19 virus is more serious than people think. The virus is here to stay and it belongs to a family of viruses that include Sars. It mutates and even in its current form it is very dangerous, it kills more that 2 percent of the hosts. It may not kill many people now but as it mutates it will become more dangerous. 

I see Covid 19 as a warning to humanity. When you exploit and kill animals then you invite diseases into the community. This will continue to happen until we change our ways. I think we should leave the animals alone and become vegetarian and vegan. I am only vegetarian now but this has inspired me to becoming semi - vegan, a person that doesn't buy dairy products but will eat a biscuit with egg in the ingredients if it is given to me. 

Once again a strange Spring  is changing me. I have been a vegetarian for 12 years and now I am slowly turning into a vegan. Animals will be exploited and killed but I will have nothing to do it. 

What February 2020 means to me

It is March now, in February the Corona virus called Covid 19 spread around the world and has infected thousands of people. 

Some people think that the virus came from a Lab and was deliberately released into the community. I would say Swine flu came from pigs, Bird flu came from birds and Corona viruses came from making everything under the sun's Corona that walks too slow into a stir fry meal, bats, rats, snakes, everything. Animals get their own viruses and humans get them from the food chain. Humans are not controlled by reason they have big brains but they don't use them the right way. 

All influenza and Ebola viruses came from eating animals. Even aids came from a hunter that cut his hand while he prepared an infected kill, no lab was involved although I wouldn't be surprised is experimentation came into it. 

If an alien is reading this and thinks I am exaggerating about human ignorance, I would say that humans spill lead and plastic into the oceans, the fish eat the pollution then the humans eat the fish.  Then the humans say who's bad? Who's bad?  You are. And they go to war and drop explosives and die. They are both bad (at thinking). 

It is a very wet and windy February. It rained incessantly through the month and preceding winter, we had 3 storms. The whole winter was damp and political. I keep my chin up for spring.
