FENCING: THE PERFECT COVID-19 SPORT

…..Masks….gloves…..If anybody gets closer than six feet…..you stab them.

THE EXPLOSION IN BEIRUT…..There is something seriously wrong with that….I have no idea what….but something is wrong….have you seen the videos?….that looked like a nuclear explosion cloud….many videos are going around the net….take a search….that was not a normal blast….there was a mushroom cloud…like a Hiroshima Nagasaki cloud…..the blast was felt 150 miles away in Cyprus….and it measured as a 3.3 earthquake……buildings were destroyed in Lebanon…..at least two miles away….135+ people killed….over 5,000 wounded….hundreds reported missing….and Lebanon’s Health Minister thinks the death toll will rise….the investigation will focus on an estimated 2,750 metric tons of explosive ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse….a warehouse that doesn’t exist anymore….hospitals are running out of supplies….the word on the street is….Beirut ignored public warnings that there was a Russian bomb at the port….maritime monitors systems tracked a boat into Beirut on September 2013….the ship was flagged in Moldova and listed it’s official cargo as….agricultural commodities….just to give you an idea as to how much “boom” that was….less than two metric tons of ammonium nitrate was used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing….the Russian ship called into port in Beirut for unknown reasons….Beirut authorities blocked the ship from leaving and the cargo was unloaded….and stored in a hanger a year later….here’s a kicker for ya….Mikhail Voytenko….a Russian maritime analyst based in Thailand….warned on July 2014…that the ship was effectively a floating bomb….he said the ship’s owner had abandoned the ship and its crew….and the Lebanese authorities had failed to protect the cargo….hence later in the future…. “BIG BADA-BOOM!”

“GODZILLA” WAS A METAPHOR FOR HIROSHIMA AND HOLLYWOOD WHITEWASHED IT….After I read this article….I didn’t like Godzilla anymore…..when Godzilla…or “Gojira” appeared before Japanese movie audiences in 1954…..many of them left the theaters in tears…..Godzilla who live undisturbed in the ocean….was shown in one of the original films as having been aggravated by a hydrogen bomb…..and his heavily furrowed skin…or scales were imagined to resemble the keloid scars of the survivors of the two atomic bomb the U.S. dropped on Japan nine years earlier to end World War II….the American audiences had the opposite reaction….by finding a comedic value in what many called a cheesy monster movie….this is the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6th and three days later on Nagasaki….the film was intended in Japan to be a metaphor for the ills of atomic testing and the use of nuclear weapons….after what Japan had to endure after the bombings….the movie served as a strong political statement….a representative  of the traumas and anxieties of the Japanese people in an era when censorship was extensive in Japan because of the American occupation of the country after the war ended….the film depicted what many could not say.

 PAJAMAS BAN FOR STUDENTS LEARNING FROM HOME DRAWS MIXED RESPONSE…..Seriously people?….public school students in Springfield, Illinois….must follow the new dress code of the building….so, no pajama pants are allowed because sleepwear is not acceptable school apparel…that’s what one idiot district administrator official said….really?….you can wear your jammies while you shop at Walmart….but a kid can’t rollout of bed and sit in front of a computer and learn with pajamas on?…..therefore, they must abide to the school dress code….which says,…..no hats, caps, bandanas, hoods of any type, sweatbands, sunglasses, pajama pants, slippers or shoes with wheels attached shall not be worn in the buildings….have these educated realized that the students….are NOT in the building?….so what do the kids have to do before they sit down for a lesson?…..stand up and be checked to see what they have on before the lesson starts?….yep….the kids are being told….git yo ass out of bed….sit your ass sat your desk….and look right into the camera….like I said….dumbest shit ever!…and a lot of parents are not feeling this at-home-dress code.

REMEMBER THAT “BIG-BADA-BOOM” IN BEIRUT?….That 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate boom…..well guess what?….The Jerusalem Post….which I’m going to assume is a news agency coming out of Israel….said….Hezbollah kept three metric tons of that crap in a storehouse in London….until MI5 and the London Metropolitan Police found it in 2015….and they also stored hundreds of kilograms of it in Southern Germany….which was uncovered earlier this year…they kept the explosive in thousands of ice packs in both countries.

I CAN REALLY RELATE THIS THIS MS. WHITNEY HOUSTON….. “I don’t know how to sing black – and I don’t know how to sing white either….I know how to sing. Music is not a color to me”…..just because a person recorded a song….it doesn’t make it white or black….or Latino….it’s a song….I’ve refused to work with many bands, musicians and producers….because they wanted me to sing a song the same way another artist sang it….and I’ve also refused to sing songs by other artist because I couldn’t think of a better way to interpret it….some songs should be left alone….one time I was in a studio in Paris….recording a song….wasn’t even getting paid….just doing a favor for a friend…..we did five great versions….and we were happy with each one….then the guy who was backing and financing the session walked in….he listened to them….and then said to me,….. “Could you do it a little more like Luther Vandross might do a song?”….I looked at this fool and told him, “You want a sound like Luther…..call Luther!”….grabbed my coat and walked out.
