It’s the weekend finally and I’m starting off with a fresh cut and beard trim. This look serves me well. Let’s try to put the week that was behind us. Love and peace good people.
The Weekend Is Here

Smonday: It’s Real
Every Sunday around 7pm I feel that Monday is inevitable and I get all anxious and stuff. I know the weekend must come to an end but still.
Virtural Church, Real Spirit On A Winter Morning
Due to the icy weather this morning, our church canceled services. We still attended church, but virtually. My college roommate Joey is a United Methodist pastor. He led a service from his church that we watched this morning. His parishioners stayed home but he went in and streamed services via Facebook. It was good to see him in action this morning.
This reminded me of when everything went virtual due to COVID years ago. It was nice being in my pj’s this morning but my faith is best expressed in community with others and to be present in the parish house at St. Peter’s.
Meta And Me – I Can’t Quit Anything From There
Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, What’s App, and Threads. I am on all three platforms and I won’t be dropping any of them. I rely upon Facebook to keep up with family, friends, and other stuff I am interested in. Threads, the Twitter replacement is a great place of connection and communication. I stay connected to pro wrestling there. Instagram has a purpose for visual expression and communication.
Yes, Meta’s chief Mark Zuckerberg’s business and ethical dealings are very suspect. We have seen what he has done in eliminating fact-checking and DEI initiatives. Sure some of his decisions are disappointing. The platforms his company has created are vital for many to keep in touch. Sure I can moderate my usage and tweak the settings so that I won’t bothered with stuff I don’t want to see.
Until someone can create a viable replacement with the same social reach as Facebook then I won’t be leaving. Nor will I leave Instagram or Threads. Hopefully, in the coming years, we will have that option.
The World Needs More Canada
The world needs more Canada! I am supporting this wholly great sovereign nation against those from my country, the United States, who want to do harm to it.
The World Today
Today is the anniversary of the January 6, 2021 riots on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. It looks like Trump got away with that one. Also, congress certified Trump’s election in November 2024. All of that sucks. I hate Donald Trump.
Justin Trudeau announced he is stepping down as Canada’s prime minister and Labour Party leader. I like Justin, he’s cool. I don’t relish the Conservative Party leader Pierre Polievere being elected in March or April.
I am sure there are other things to be in a tizzy about. I don’t think I want to hear them. But the day isn’t over yet.
