Compilation of my short MORNING THOUGHTS.

Previously posted on my Facebook Page


I am old. I am done with anti-this, anti-that. I don’t eat that, I don’t say those; I don’t listen to that, I don’t watch those. Etc etcetera. If I can get along with the Left, Right, center, and the sides? Cool. If I don’t, I leave you alone. Arguments are so unsexy for a dude who sees, feels, experiences sexy in simple pleasures, easy cool, and accessible laughter. “You like potato and I like potahto / You like tomato and I like tomahto / Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto.” No prob. πŸ…πŸ™ƒπŸ‘




I grew up watching Cowboys and Indians and war movies like “Combat!” yet I evolved into a virulent anti-war activist. I believe, our progression should course its due roads and avenues per mental transformation, emotional maturity, and physical growth. Denying children what they perceive as “child’s play” somehow alters or repositions their development grid. Hence, I never imposed my personal politics or “cultural truths” on my little kids. I let them be. ?☮️🧸


According to a study, gender-neutral words like “people” and “person” are perceived as male. Or many similar terms prioritize men over women. From now on, humanity will be fighting over these “correct imperatives” of existence. Meanwhile, 690 million people on earth are hungry, and 150 million are homeless worldwide. Six million die in Africa from unadministered diseases, annually. “Hungry” and “homeless” could mean “men.” too. Wait for the study. πŸ˜’πŸ˜”πŸ˜Ÿ


From 2016 to 2020, my Homepage was flooded with irate howls vs Mr Donald. Mortgage then: Around 3-4 percent. Gasoline, at $2+ average. Inflation? 2.8 percent. These days: Federal Reserve hints mortgage interest rates will spike 6 more times (from 5 percent) before 2022 is over. Inflation, 7.9 percent. Gasoline? Groceries? Yet no cussing from Biden voters. A 7-year old told me why: “It’s because Mr Joe doesn’t tweet. He just says weird stuff when he speaks on TV.” LOL! πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘½πŸ‘Ž


Today’s readership get/s news not from traditional news organizations but via Facebook or Social Media, where news items have already been squeezed into palatable memes and spoonfed by political angling per convenience. Also CNN, Fox, MSNBC etcetera are more popular for their opinion on issues over straight-through delivery of news info. The times when individual thinking and partisan bias are preferred over facts or truths. Even a donut choice is either Left or Right. πŸ‘πŸ‘½πŸ‘Ž




Sports are all about business. Those who generate income due to popularity, gain most media attention—irrelevant that they recently lost or losing. As long as their endorsement deals are alive, they hug the coverage limelight. Examples. The L.A. Lakers didn’t make it to the NBA playoffs but talk is mostly on how many records LeBron James broke. In golf’s ongoing Masters, Tiger Woods is way down standings but all sports TV blahblah is him. Who is Scottie Scheffler? 🏌️πŸ“Ί⛹️


So popular are anti-rich memes. Just hyperventilating? There’s nothing much that we can do though about the super-rich. Pandemic days, wartime or peacetime—their profit grade exponentially grows to unimaginable levels. Elon Musk would probably be 4x wealthier next year. EVs sell faster than a $1 bag of chips. Why whine? The real problem isn’t the wealthy. The problem is a government that manages a country’s economy where the rich go richer and the poor go poorer. πŸ₯ΊπŸ’΅πŸ€£


I like funny memes. But once memes start doing partisan immaturity with messed-up data or memes dwell on anti-Christianity slurs or the usual anti this and anti that whine, I just go to the dog/cat videos. Haven't seen pet videos that diss either side of the political extreme yet. But I don't unfriend "friends" by virtue of their voraciousness in sharing fantastic memes of offensive silliness. I just ignore and then type up my usual stuff as Alexa plays some Bee Gees. πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜ΎπŸ‘Ž


Many complain when they get unfriended or blocked due to disagreements. I understand. Sometimes I do, too. But as an old-school writer, I don’t really mind. Since the day I started to write professionally as a journalist (hence published, which was before the internet) or when I pursued my activism, I have been losing—and gaining friends. Didn’t even notice. Just the way life was. But I haven’t stopped writing or speaking my mind the way I was or I am. ?✍️πŸ’»


I seldom talk, especially in a crowd: 3 or more. Yet when I talk, I talk long. LOL! Same with my responses to Facebook discussion. But I don’t respond by way of the annoying laughing emoji or via cryptic one-liners. I type up long, complete sentences. And so I don’t usually respond back to a response since I already said what I needed to. Others should also say their piece. I was raised to shut it if it’s not important and say it when I need to, and in complete sentences. πŸ‘ΆπŸ§’πŸ‘΄

About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies.

Previously posted on my Facebook Page. 


ALCOHOL contain/s ethanol and grain, which are toxic to cats. Alcohol poisoning can occur when your cat ingests just 1 teaspoon. When ingested, your cat's kidneys and liver will work to get rid of the poison. But if they ingest too much, their kidneys and liver can get overworked. Just like you, although you identify as a cat. You have been ingesting too much Maker’s Mark and PBR. Ingest fresh fruit juice, instead! 🐈🍻🐈‍⬛





CATS may not seem to appreciate the gifts you give them unlike dogs. Dog: “OMG! You don’t have to buy me a gift?!? But that is so sweet! I love you.” Cats don’t do drama. Meanwhile, cats are pack animals who want to share their bounty with their family. When a cat brings you an animal he/she caught, alive or dead, they consider you a part of their family. Now, you may check your kitchen counter drawer for a baby rattlesnake that your cat may have caught for you. A special gift. 🐈🐍🐈‍⬛


CELLPHONE addiction can turn into an obsession to check messages and reply immediately and lead to social isolation and a poor academic performance. It may also increase anxiety by creating an illusion that they had received a message even when there was no message, making them frequently check their phones. Yes, that’s the devil in your cellphone whispering into your digital brain. To fight the devil, you need to challenge and defeat him in a fiddle duel in Georgia. πŸ‘¨πŸ‘©‍πŸ¦±πŸ“²



DIGITAL refers to electronic technology that uses discrete values, generally zero and one, to generate, store and process data. In digital technology, data is transmitted and stored as strings of zeros and ones, each of which are referred to as bits. Most of the young these days think digital, you know what I mean? You must know how to act and react around them or you’d hurt their feelings. You dig? πŸ‘§πŸ§’πŸ“²


ANY change to cat behavior can be a sign that something is amiss, and if you notice your cat pacing, it may be due to one of a few reasons: stress, boredom, pain, hormones, pregnancy, or a health issue. Or maybe she is stressed out because she couldn’t find her cellphone? πŸ˜ΌπŸ˜ΎπŸ“²


IN comparison to dogs, cats do often enjoy more solo activities such as self-grooming or discovering their newest hiding spot. This independence could be tied to their wild ancestors, who were solitary animals. Just like the ancestors, the ninjas. Isolation, that’s how cats perfected their skills in siege and infiltration, ambush, reconnaissance, espionage, deception, and later bodyguarding and their fighting skills in martial arts premiumPlus+, including claw ninjutsu. 🐈πŸ₯·πŸˆ‍⬛


MANY cats like to bat at ornaments, pull things off, claw at presents underneath, and try to climb the tree. There have been many trees that came crashing down well before Christmas morning. As I previously noted, this is fake news. Cats don’t destroy Christmas trees as a “rule.” This info came from influencers who will later categorize cats who destroy and those who don’t as belonging to this political party and that. Uh huh. πŸˆπŸŽ„πŸ–


IN order to reduce shedding, help your cat out by brushing them daily. Cats naturally self-groom though. Or ask them what’s wrong. They’d probably say they need to go to a spa for extra grooming. Fizz told me, some special foods may help. Like Chicken & Salmon Rustic Blend or Homestead Turkey Rustic Blend, with a high-protein content from quality meat sources like chicken, fish or turkey. Fizz has an endorsement deal with the manufacturer of this food, by the way. 🐱πŸ₯«πŸ±




CATS and Christmas trees don't mix? Natural curiosity makes it hard for cats to resist the decorations as playthings. Nobody wants a toppled tree! For Fizz and Ching, or Cyd then, that is all BS. Fake news. These koolcats never destroy/ed a Christmas tree in the house. If ever one ornament is missing and they are blamed, they’d produce a DNA analysis, physical evidence + photo exhibits from CCTV to prove that Arrow (or Georgia and Chloe then) stole the thingy and ate it. 🐈🎊🐈


WHY do people stare at their phones so much? It's a neurotransmitter that makes you feel good. Our brains are designed to release dopamine when we do something that meets a survival need, like eating or having sex. Countless studies have shown that phone activity causes the release of dopamine in our brains, making us feel aroused, motivated, and happy. Dopamine, get that? Neurotransmitter, remember that. πŸ₯ΉπŸ“±πŸ“²

Facebook conversations, chats, and talks.

Previously posted on my Facebook page. Or written years ago, unedited/not updated.


I HAVE been reading thoughts and discussions/debates from FB page/s of friends and acquaintances—mostly former professors, writing mentors, editors and media colleagues, emanating from four corners of the universe. Facebook, thank you for this one-click wonder... 




       Interesting, intriguing, endlessly enlightening. I recall those days of yonder as a zealous youth hungry for knowledge and adventure, reading up on stuff from Freire to Nietzsche to Thoreau to Sartre to Camus to Mao to Toffler to Dylan to just about anything that is worth food for thought, chased down by a bottle or two of scrounged cerveza. It's always cool to sit down over a drink, whatever drink, with anyone who knows some—not simply a smartass agitator or trickster devil's advocate. Even in heated and intense joust, lessons are harvested. I learned a lot from those... 

       Meantime, it is kind of easier now to engage in a discussion since words and stuff are easily double-checked via google. Yet if a prospective conversant reasons, “I don't believe in Wikipedia anyways...” or “I don't google...” and we ask, “So what do you know?” and get, “I don't need to know...” then what is the point of a talk, right? I say, what we get on the internet are all 2nd or 3rd or 4th hand data. However, it is a common progression in knowing stuff and things to follow through—get out, go to the library, talk with people, visit places. But who wants to do that these days? 

       Ah! Still though I like talking with someone who has a baseline info about anything. Where did CD originate, are the Bee Gees British or Australians, what is Treaty of Paris, how significant is WTO, who is Sylvie Legere, was Genghis Khan really a jerk, how dumb was Columbus, how powerful was Isabella I of Castille, who is Tom Joad, how good was Duane Allman on slide guitar, what makes Ho Chi Minh a military genius, does fortune cookie exist in Beijing? But it is sad that today's humanity is generally interested in cryptic, 3-word lines only—short attention span earthlings who are so busy yet they haven't left their seats in the last 14 hours. Anyways… πŸ—£πŸ‘₯πŸ“²

ON the subject of the November (years ago) presidential election.

Previously posted on my Facebook page. Or written years ago, unedited/not updated.


TOO much hatred on Facebook. And outside of it. But am I going to shut the door and avoid social media? No. I need to know what's on people's minds, no matter how harsh and foul, than not to know what's going on. Offline, I've been talking with older citizens of this country—and we share the same fear. People simply hate people these days. I am flabbergasted how those who categorically say if you post something religious (Bible verse or whatever), you are out of one's Facebook. Same people who unfriend people just because they don't agree about current presidential candidates. 



       You are out because you don't like my candidate. You are not my friend because you don't sing with my choir? And these come from mostly people who call themselves progressives or activists. That is not activism to me. That is a very one-dimensional take at things. So instead of bridging gaps, we widen them. I am not angry. I am writing/talking the way that I've been all through my life. And I don't shut it if I deem something has to be said. πŸ›πŸ—½πŸ›


IN 1999, when the hardcore activists waged a battle in Seattle against the World Trade Organization's (WTO) economic globalization program, not many were talking. Then China went in following its embrace of open-door policy (following the Tiananmen Square tempest in 1989) and so this is the world now, according to Beijing. Meanwhile Russia, the world's number #1 producer of oil entered the WTO as well in 2012. Due to globalization, most of what we consume in America are coming outside of this country, and labored by people in mostly third world economies. 

       The Bernie Sanders camp should have learned after the Occupy din went silent, and ground-worked the American mass—especially those who gravitate to Donald Trump, instead of calling them idiots. Groundworking/advocating beyond the choir is old school activism/advocacy. Yet it was effective and it always worked. 



       We went deep into urban poor lairs and countryside/small towns and talked to people—while we forged tactical alliances with the middle class forces and the sympathizing rich. That was the activism that I knew. There was hope when the Occupy Movement gathered people. They could have used that massive throng to carry on and then re-educate the public vis a vis elections. I don't think Trump is the answer and I don't think Bernie is either to America's woes. I don't know if Hillary is. America is very fragmented right now and Washington, both camps, are worried. China now has a WB/IMF counterpart and some European countries are joining in. Russia may rule OPEC. And South China Sea (where Foxconn, the largest manufacturer of our e-baubles, is located) and where regional security is utmost vis a vis global terrorism is holding forth. A US president who works around that, will be the effective one. πŸ›πŸ—½πŸ›


I WOULD like to gladly educate (or inform) my dearest friend, who is obviously a rabid Republican, not to fear or sound alarm that a socialist president will most likely turn America into a Third World nation. Here are six rich countries that somehow follow certain socialism tenets: Norway, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, France, Denmark. Then there is China, which uses the basis of socialism: the state controls everything for the benefit of the people with the absence of any real democracy. They are of course fast becoming a very rich superpower in a quaint mix of socialism and state-planned semi-free capitalism. Then there is Russia, the Numero Uno producer of crude oil globally. To illustrate how rich Russia is--the max salary of a WNBA player in the US is $250,000. In Russia, it's $5 million.



       Moreover, the countries that I enumerated above, for long periods during their ascent as a modern democracy, social democrats have had a large influence on their legislation and government policy. As a result, certainly by American standards, these countries can be considered socialist. They tend to favor government influence or regulation over free market dynamics. They're all in the top twenty of the world's richest nations. 

Yet I still maintain that whatever a president's socio-political agenda is—socialism, democracy, donut freedom—if the people don't abide by it or this mode of governance doesn't gain public support, that administration will fall. I don't need to cite historical records. 

       So there! πŸ›πŸ—½πŸ›

About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies.

WRAPPER in a supermarket etcetera is in charge of wrapping items for shipment, be it food, fabric, gifts, or other types of items. RAPPER is a person who performs rap music. Yes, a person can be a Wrapper Rapper or Rapper Wrapper. πŸ›πŸŽ€πŸ‘¨‍🎀




WHEN should you change your Facebook relationship status? Consult your partner before changing FB relationship settings. It is always a good idea to talk to your partner and ask if you should change your status to "In a Relationship" if you're dating or "Single" if you've decided to go your separate ways. Okay? That advice came from relationship experts, who are mostly cats and dogs. πŸ‘©‍πŸ¦°πŸ“±πŸ‘¨‍🦰


GIFT-GIVING has its roots in pagan rituals. Indigenous peoples also exchange/d gifts long before Christians met them. When Christianity adapted these rituals into Christmas, the justification was redirected to the Three Wise Dudes, who gave gifts to the infant Jesus. But if you are the kind who gets depressed with receiving gifts because it is consumerism or Christianity (though you’d love an iPhone 15 or a new car), this Christmas you will get a box of underwear from Goodwill. 🎁🎁🎁


WHY do cats knock things over? Cats are natural born hunters, and their prey instinct is a big contributor to this behavior. Let's take that paperweight sitting on your desk. If that paperweight was a mouse, your cat needs to investigate it. She needs to bat it around to test it out and make sure it's something of interest to eat. Fizz The Wiz is different though. She simply studies, investigates and ponders stuff in the house. Then she googles info and starts writing stuff. 🐈πŸͺΆπŸˆ‍⬛


CATS are incredibly intelligent creatures with complex brains that allow them to process information quickly, remember things for short periods, recognize faces and sounds, and problem-solve when necessary. Yup! Cats. Impressive species with extraordinary intelligence. You dig? They know trigonometry, calculus, and could explain what is objectivist epistemology or catnip axiology. Fizz The Wiz can argue with anyone matters that pertain to state and government. No BS. 🐱πŸ₯ΈπŸ±




WHETHER it's Christmas, a birthday or just because, unwrapping presents is fun for dogs. The additional mental work for your pet is a good balance to the physical workout when you are romping in the park or going for a walk. Dogs are also good at “unwrapping” or unmasking people off their cover, mask or fakery.  πŸ•πŸŽπŸ•


A GROUP of university researchers from Cambridge and Stanford found that insights gleaned from Facebook data alone may be able to predict a person's personality and preferences better than their friends and colleagues or their partners. So in case you suspect your partner to be cheating on you, smoking in the backyard when you’re asleep, or a friend who eats lots of donuts and Doritos? Ask Facebook first before you confront and unfriend your partner. πŸ“±πŸ’»πŸ€ͺ


PEOPLE decorate their houses with lights to symbolize the Christmas star that was supposed to have led the Three Wise Men to the manger where Jesus was born on Christmas Day. The outdoor displays have become a symbol of the Christmas season. My friend Jujul has stopped decorating Christmas lights. He said he ain’t a Christian no more. His wife though told me he is just lazy to untangle the lights from the attic that got knotted or stuck together. πŸŽ…πŸŽ‰πŸŽ




ACCORDING to dog experts (who are actually cats), dogs don't view themselves as big or small, they just see themselves as dogs. Problem is, the smaller breeds are often poorly socialized. People treat them as toys like a cellphone. As Fizz tells me time and again, dogs and cats are usually misread by hoomans. Fizz The Wiz: “Hoomans always think that dogs that are small are Filipinos just like you Pasckie dude. And dogs that are big are from Texas.” Uh huh. πŸ•πŸ©πŸ•‍🦺


SMART scientists (who are cats) define bird song or “tweet” as a structured, complex vocalization serving either or both of two purposes. To defend territories and to attract mates. Most bird song is by males, though females do also sing territorially or for pair bonding. When hoomans tweet, that’d be for different purposes. <>To attract more hoomans to their “territory” so there’ll be more hoomans to piss, and <>to lose a future date, lose a partner, and lose friends in general. LOL! πŸ¦πŸ¦œπŸ“²

Compilation of short MORNING THOUGHTS.

Previously posted on my Facebook Page.


Ukraine (1). Gasoline prices are up, global. People reason: “Ukraine!” That’s it. All because of Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline: (1) Ukraine’s gas lords want more transit tax since Russian gas exports pass through its territory before they reach Europe. (2) Russia wants to double its gas supply to Europe, Moscow’s top buyer. (3). U.S. gas exports are ranked only #6, worldwide. Sanction Russia, then they take over the E.U. market. Meantime, the public suffers.☮️☮️☮️




Ukraine (2). As a rationale to costly gas prices, there ought to be a war. So Kiev adheres to NATO. As the world, aching to resume economies per Covid dislocation, awaits to start buying fuel. Russia’s gas rivals in the global market bring this to political discourse, when it is all economics. Russia allegedly “weaponizes” its oil/gas. Win-win for Big Energy, as it was win-win for Big Pharma per obvious. Cost of medicines for other serious diseases spiked. Reason: Pandemic.

When we were little, nine kids and mom and dad, also said “grace after meal.” Each child said the prayer on rotation. Many nonbelievers say saying a prayer as a ritual is a form of “control.” I don’t call it that way though. If so, then daily household chores or doing school homework were “control,” too? How do we raise/guide children then? New Moralism tells us that anything in conformity with rules, ritual, or cultural truths are “control.” Makes me think, what isn’t? ☮️✝️☯️


Ukraine (1). Why would the U.S. be concerned about Ukraine but not Puerto Rico? The U.S. owned P.R. since 1899 yet Washington hasn’t really improved life on the island. Puerto Rico is poorer than Mississippi. Meanwhile, this “Russia invades Ukraine” story is a deadly showtime that only points to the “global oil/gas pricing” board. Moscow doesn’t need to “conquer” Kiev. Russia is already Ukraine’s top trading partner. They are economic co-dependents per natural gas trade. ☮️☮️☮️


Ukraine (2). 3.5 million Ukrainians work in Russia; 2.6 million live there. And 8.3 million Russians live in Ukraine. Why don’t we just leave them alone? Our newest neighbors in Candler: Ukrainian wife and Russian husband, with three little kids. Should they divorce, too? Can’t the U.S. instead fix Puerto Rico or aid countries in Africa? Why can’t we simply sell natural gas in Europe, which buys its energy supply from Russia? Ain’t that the story behind all these? ☮️☮️☮️


Many expect Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine to please the “He is evil!” tag? Like when China moves ships in/around the South China Sea, hecklers howl “Xi is a bully!” What is wrong with this fascination with doom? Mere fact that Russia hasn’t invaded Ukraine (yet), a-la U.S. of Iraq 2003, is because they are talking. Talkin’ oil/natural gas market pricing. But “war-like” engagements, with “contained” collateral damage, seem “obligatory.” So expectation is served. Weird world! ☮️⛽️☮️


Common fervor in Social Media is gloom. Negativity. Sadly. The New Cool is anti this and anti that. Nonconformity with convention, tradition, or mindset that are old-school. Awesome to be a bitch, kickass to be bad. You get 50 “likes” in 1 minute if you whine about your ex, mom, or politics that isn’t yours. Freedom of speech: Cuss and curse. Talk about joyful days, what?!? Funky drama? Keep talkin’! Sun in winter? Who cares? Tearful wine as a dark moon grieves is better. πŸ˜”πŸ˜ŸπŸ₯³




Posting stuff on Facebook is writing per se. My ritual. Long time ago, on a typewriter, consumed and all, when an interpolator peered at a writer’s back and/or got interrupted by silliness, we got pissed. But a nice aside was cool if those add to what we were writing. New info, other insight. Pretty much like posting on FB. Comments that are grown-up, civil, and useful are most welcome. I responded politely. But smartass one-liners that only distract my writing? Ignored or out you go.✍️😾✍️


Many "over- react" to music because of politics. Music, sounds that convey beauty of form; song, words and music. Art. I am detached from the artist as an individual; I am attached to the art. If music/songs don't appeal to me it's because they don't. Art is personal appreciation; politics is collective. If the artist seeks to project political advocacy, cool! But I react to the work. Not the gesture. Art is the device; not the kneel. When they mix, we get mixed up. 🎼🦡🎼


I am a “short attention span” dude. Not good at listening to sermons, lectures, speeches. Religious, political, or a wait staff telling me the day’s best offering. I don’t dig talk shows, talk radio, talking. I get bored easily. Funny, that I worked as a speechwriter, lecturer, AM radio anchor. I always do multiple things, simultaneously. My mind is hyperactive. Mostly, I’d rather read instructions or be told one time what to do—and then leave me alone, I will accomplish all those. πŸ”­πŸ§ΉπŸ§Ί

About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies.

TRUE, iCloud makes it super easy to store photos, videos, and files without having to use storage space on your phone. Frequent question: “Why has my iCloud account stopped working?” Maybe you exceeded the iCloud storage limit. Find out how to make more space available in iCloud. Which means, you know, buy more space. Are you sure you're using the latest version of software on your device? You might wanna buy a cool version. Okay? Don’t be mad at me. I am only an A.I. πŸ₯ΉπŸŒ¨πŸ“²




ACCORDING to tradition, the original Saint Nicholas put gold coins in the stockings of three poor sisters. One night, the girls left their stockings drying over the fireplace. Saint Nicholas knew the family was very poor, so he threw three bags of gold coins down the chimney. The money landed in the sisters' stockings. What about the brothers? They were in another room waiting for their sisters to share some of the gold coins, I guess. In case Santa threw extra coins. πŸŽ…πŸŽ‰πŸŽ


PLAYING fetch with balls quickly becomes a routine for dogs and they rely on it to connect and bond with you as their owner which is why they become so obsessed with their ball. Fetch is a great trust builder and way to connect with your dog, it's quality time for them where they feel like they are pleasing you. I suspect though that when it comes to Arrow, she wants me to fetch the ball instead. She throws the ball and waits for me to get it. πŸ•πŸπŸ•


WHEN it comes to music made for humans, classical music seems to be the most favorable among cats. This is because many forms of classical music are not likely to hurt a cat's ears with a very heavy bass or wailing high pitched instruments. Trudat. Ching and Fizz sleep beside their laptops with bird and fish videos showing on YouTube. The classical music background is soothing to them. Although their all-time favorite is the Bee Gees. 🐱🎼🐱




A COMPUTER can determine your personality better than your closest friends or family by using your Facebook “likes” to judge your character, university researchers found. The study of 86,220 volunteers highlighted how artificial intelligence can use data to accurately predict a person's traits. Okay, then. You may call your computer or cellphone “Mom” and “Dad” and you may marry your laptop. (But don’t forget to sign a pre-nup.) πŸ₯°πŸ“²πŸ’»


AIR GUITAR, used to describe the actions of someone playing an imaginary guitar. Yes, you may have to explain to your 14-year old what an “air guitar" is. In these days of VR and A.I., air guitar is plain insanity to them. Or wasn’t it already insane then? LOL! 🎸🀨🎸


CATS don't have a pack mentality. In the wild, they tend to be solitary, so they're not hard-wired to obey. Not unless you provide them with their own laptop or tablet so they can watch bird/fish videos whenever they want to. And an iPhone would also be awesome. Then they will obey you. πŸ±πŸ‘½πŸ¦Š


DOGS who sing are just channeling their wolf ancestors. However, sometimes it can mean your dog craves attention or believes the music is too loud. So always be sure to pay attention to your dog's needs first. Did you also read what your dog texts you? Or her emails? And Facebook posts? You need to be sensitive and attentive to your dog. Or they will unfriend you. πŸ•πŸ‘©‍πŸŽ€πŸ•


BATTERY LIFE, the length of time a device can continue to work before it needs its battery to be recharged. My A.I. the clone's “battery life” is good for 15 seconds to those who are rude on Facebook. Two seconds for those imbeciles who respond with that annoying laughing emoji because they don’t have any idea what you have just posted or written. πŸ“±πŸ“²πŸ˜«


THE vibrating sensation that cats display is called purring. Scientists aren't sure whether purring is voluntary or involuntary in cats, but it usually signals that the cat is enjoying its current circumstances. Such a vibrating motion exudes electric currents that when touched by a hooman that the cat decides to control–could result in displeasing circumstances like nausea, forgetfulness, and diarrhea. Some cat vibration can also alter a personage’s most intense ideological/partisan beliefs. πŸˆπŸ‘‹πŸˆ‍⬛
