@gabriel_true Day 108: Happy February first, Gabby and MO! I feel like this day flew by really quickly, but that's alright. I was able to make my family soup for dinner, so that was really nice...I couldn't help but to say yes to cooking it when my baby brother asked if I could do it for him instead lol (he's convinced himself that whenever I fix soup it tastes better). So, everyone ate some nice, warm soup for dinner, which is good because it's still freezing outside. Oh! God is already moving in amazing ways for me and my baby brother's Birthday this year! He's somehow allowed our mom to find multiple sales on really pricey items, and I can't wait to see my baby brother's reaction to one of them!! Our mom found two tickets for a basketball ball game ON SALE for only 40-something dollars, so our dad and baby brother are going the day after our B-Day. I'm so excited because he loves basketball a lot and is really good at playing it himself – I can't wait to see his reaction to the big gift! - God Is Beyond Good: Your Very Happy Friend

I love easy-listening music including jazz like T-SQUARE. This song is likely what inspired Mario Kart series music. https://youtu.be/-EEB7SVoyvs?si=Qn8rcSga_imsKoFy https://youtu.be/YL9J3qq3n4g?si=HJ4fz6dvhrWLAxBx https://youtu.be/bFWlPpu2LWg?si=pmCC_7aUEbA563zk I believe F-1 Grand Prix series by FUJI Television was very popular at that time thanks to auto sports and T-SQUARE's song "Truth" colliding together to make many play with go-carts, which might be what triggered the Mario Kart series. In America, NASCAR was also booming in popularity. https://youtu.be/-AsopbmzV0U?si=KT459tCqWrw2PvNc Which these game show themes at that time sounded similar. https://youtu.be/SR-_eooxmwI?si=TlIbw0Eovm0sLmOc https://youtu.be/QExo2OwQ3Rk?si=RYsKKp_MeOAdhby9 https://youtu.be/i-phm8hXds0?si=bFmuMnm4FjU7VixQ This inspired the Super Mario Bros. overworld theme "Running About" / "Above Ground BGM". https://youtu.be/9jicFDOPKM8?si=5AqcslOt-LRsbF1J https://youtu.be/BxEH806Mrj0?si=KOGoYN9mGTflpLeA This one likely inspired "Last Wave" from SEGA's Out Run. https://youtu.be/zVuDAcnqG3Y?si=kj5R4K51_4J1UhgZ https://youtu.be/xNzXjagY5eo?si=eOV-wwtw0lpU1R4A And this one likely inspired the Space Harrier Theme, another SEGA arcade game. https://youtu.be/ifmFkKRhc8E?si=ca_Qot4kJ-_tAK02 https://youtu.be/-_Tam9lv1KQ?si=BTshMYOUxO-lWPgS https://youtu.be/x9cz5EbmiaA?si=mMfcX1gecTK24Bk6

My friends when I was in the military introduced me to smoking and drinking. It was just the culture in the Army. We use to party all the time and go pick up woman. It wasn't about how the beer or liquor tasted I just drunk it to be lit and have a good time. Some of the most memorable time of my life. I miss my friends. Now I only drink when I see my gf or her family and I'm just mellow and nice. I busted out some supreme dance moves last night off the drank that i didn't know i had in me. It was nice to share different liquor with my flipino family. They like to drink sing karaoke and dance. They were teaching me how to dance lol. I smoke vapes I'm gonna crit and get cancer it is what it is. All hail the Supreme smoke break. Though Nile special from Africa and red horse from Philippines is my favorite beers. They actually tasty or don't taste bad at least.

The US is 100% preparing to strike Iran right now. They are the intelligence gathering state, preparing the perfect mission. I think at this point it could be within days before we hear something.

I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t detrimental to the show. But when they’re lazy with it like I’ve been seeing. That’s exactly what it is. Yeah, having the time to do it right is crucial. But you also need someone to NOT just say, “screw it, close enough.” Before it didn’t get done until someone did it. And even when they rushed, artists typically held themselves to some kind of standard. Using AI to do it, now it’s instantly done, and the artist didn’t even have to be involved at all. Quality control went out the window for ease and expediency.

Just finish drinking and partying with my flipino family. They are some of the nicest people alive. I had a good time. I wish I could speak more tagalog. I'm extremely happy twas a good time :)
