I think North Korea would be a very depressing place to visit. The country is basically a cult centered around one guy who happens to be a huge nepo baby. They also have a huge military that hasn’t seen action in years if not decades……..They treat their citizens badly if they fall out of line. Sure, some of it looks fascinating but not worth the risk. Yeah, North Korea would be a big no from me. It’s too off the wall and just weird.

A Call For Peace Everywhere Especially The Middle East
Lots of stuff is going on in the Middle East. Now would be a good time for a call for peace. May there be peace on Earth and may it begin with each of us.
Tacos and Taxes Saturday
Most of us love tacos. All of us hate taxes. This Saturday we kicked off with breakfast tacos of eggs, ham, salsa and cheese. Later on, I worked on our 2023 income taxes which was painless. I always wait to the last minute on doing taxes because it’s not always been pleasant. The rest of the day is about getting a few other things done and chilling out. I hope your day is going well.
Thank Goodness Friday Is Here
Happy Friday to all of us. It’s been an interesting week to say the least. Let’s have a great weekend everyone. Love and peace good people.
A Twist On Christian Persecution
There is talk of Christian persecution. Meaning Christians are persecuted. As a Christian, I have never felt this. Not many of my friends have felt this either. However I have seen Christians persecuting others for this, that, or the other thing. If you want to see persecution check out African Americans, gypsies, indigenous people, LGTBQ, Muslims, and Jewish people who have been persecuted throughout time by “good” Christian people. I am a believer but I do feel like I need to call out the crap that I see by fellow members of the community. I am sorry to all persecuted by Christians who think they are doing “the work of The Lord”, you did nothing to deserve it.
An AEW Mark Watches WWE Monday Night Raw After Wrestlemania
I am a hardcore All Elite Wrestling fan but I watched the Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania and here is some feedback.
I liked the opening with Triple-H and the new Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion Cody Rhodes. That seemed to turn the page for a new story to be written. I wasn’t crazy about Cody’s interaction with The Rock it made him look small at times. The segment with The Judgement Day. That faction seems to have a unique vibe. The actual in-ring matches were fine but I still think AEW is much better in that department. Other than what I saw in clips on YouTube and other places I have limited knowledge of the Bloodline angle led by Roman Reigns.
Their TV production and announcing team were excellent. Michael Cole and Pat McAfee have great chemistry. Their ring announcer Samantha Irvin is superb.
Soon I will give Friday Smackdown a look, perhaps delayed on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I suppose it’s good to open one’s mind to other promotions. It might be useful to have a continuous working knowledge of what the WWE is doing.
