John is Gone. Rest In Peace, I will See You Soon.

 Life has changed dramatically, as my step father John passed away on April 22, 2022.  It was absolutely shocking and unexpected and has since been one of the most devastating losses and feelings of mental agony and sadness that I've ever experienced. I am very motivated to do what I can to make sure he is remembered and honored, and I've taken my first step by contacting and scheduling a meeting with the local Knights of Columbus, which he was very closely involved in for decades doing charity and raising money to help homeless and suffering people. He was also is a Navy veteran from the late 1970's.  He raised a family successfully and put his kids through college, and accomplished the American dream that he had in mind for himself. The impact he had on my life can not be done justice with the English language, but I will say I am more like him than my own biological father in many ways and always will be, and I experienced what it was like to live in a nuclear family in the USA because of him and the sacrifices he made to take care of my mother, sister and I.  We had an excellent relationship the last 7-8 years and it got closer and better as time went on and we were closer than we ever were since I was a little boy and I am grateful for that, but still life will be different without him here and I have done a lot of reflecting on life and have a lot more to do. RIP John R Cokefair, my step father, and the man who raised me as his own son and provided for me and nurtured me through my childhood years into my teenage years.  He is essentially, my elder, my male role model in life along with my biological father, and he treated me with generosity and taught me about respect.

Great Statement Made by MMA Fighter, MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SAY THIS!

I LOVE THIS!  More athletes in pro sports need to come out and say stuff like this, and use the word POLITICIAN, like I AM NOT GOING TO FIGHT FOR SOME POLITICIAN.  That sends a message and is good for the youth to hear.  But we won't hear it from soem of the biggest stars on earth in the sports world like Lebron James in the NBA because he's in cahoots with China and the NBA and is basically from what I've heard and read and seen and total socialist commie soy boy.  Jordan was and always will be better.

 Lebron was too much of a pussy to come to NY after he bailed on his own city of Cleveland bc he knew he couldn't win a championship there at the time, so he sold out and went to Miami to hook up with Wade and Chris Bosh and won a championship, on WADES team, then of course went to the fuckin Lakers where its easy as fuck to win in the NBA.  Jordan played on the Bulls and the fucking Wizards and tried to help a new young team build up and become good, he loved the competition, he didn't want easy wins, he wanted a challenge.  And the Knicks and Pacers and Jazz should have won multiple championships in the 90s but they couldn't bc Jordan and his team were too good.  Lebron has not prevented any great teams from winning a championship, the league has been unbalanced as fuck.

FINAL FANTASY IV SUMMARY

The Red Wings attack the city of Mysidia to steal their Water Crystal, and return to the Kingdom of Baron. When Cecil, Captain of the Red Wings, afterwards questions the king's motives, he is stripped of his rank and sent with Kain, his friend and Captain of the Dragoons, to deliver a ring to the Village of Mist.[21] There, Kain and Cecil watch in horror as monsters burst forth from inside the ring and lay waste to the village. A young girl, Rydia, is the only survivor and summons a monster named Titan in anger. This monster causes an earthquake, separating Cecil and Kain.[22] Cecil awakens afterward and takes the wounded Rydia to a nearby inn. Baron soldiers come for Rydia but Cecil defends her,[23] and she joins him on his journey.

It is revealed that Rosa, Cecil's love interest, had followed him and is extremely ill with a fever. Soon after this, Cecil and Rydia meet Tellah, who is going to Damcyan Castle to retrieve his eloping daughter, Anna.[24] However, Anna is killed when the Red Wings bomb the castle. Edward, Anna's lover and the prince of Damcyan, explains that the Red Wings' new commander, Golbez, did this to steal the Fire Crystal for Baron as they had stolen the Water Crystal from Mysidia.[25] Tellah leaves the party to exact revenge on Golbez for Anna's death.[26] After finding a cure for Rosa, the party decides to go to Fabul to protect the Wind Crystal. On the way there they meet Master Yang, a warrior monk serviced to the kingdom and the protection of the crystal. The Red Wings attack Fabul, and Kain reappears as one of Golbez's servants. He attacks and defeats Cecil; when Rosa intervenes, Golbez kidnaps her and Kain takes the crystal.[27] On the way back to Baron, the party is attacked by Leviathan and separated.

Cecil awakes alone near Mysidia. When he enters the town, he finds that its residents deeply resent him for the prior attack on their town. Through the Elder of Mysidia, he learns that to defeat Golbez, he must climb Mt. Ordeals and become a Paladin.[28] Before embarking on his journey, he is joined by the twin mages, Palom and Porom. On the mountain he encounters Tellah, who is searching for the forbidden spell Meteor to defeat Golbez.[29] Casting aside the darkness within himself, Cecil becomes a Paladin, while Tellah learns the secret of Meteor. Upon reaching Baron, the party discovers a mind-controlled Yang and return him to his senses. The party then confronts the King, only to discover that he had been replaced by one of Golbez's minions, Cagnazzo.[30] After defeating him, Cid arrives and takes them to one of his airships, the Enterprise. On the way, the party enters a room booby-trapped by Cagnazzo, where Palom and Porom sacrifice themselves to save Cecil, Tellah, Cid, and Yang.

On the airship, Kain appears and demands Cecil retrieve the final crystal in exchange for Rosa's life,[31] which the party obtains with assistance from a bedridden Edward. Kain then leads the party to the Tower of Zot, where Rosa is imprisoned. At the tower's summit, Golbez takes the crystal and attempts to flee. Tellah casts Meteor to stop Golbez, sacrificing his own life in the process. However, the spell only weakens Golbez, ending his mind control of Kain.[32] Kain helps Cecil rescue Rosa, who teleports the party out of the collapsing tower to Baron.

In Baron, Kain reveals that Golbez must also obtain four subterranean "Dark Crystals" to achieve his goal of reaching the Moon.[33] The party travels to the underworld and encounter the Dwarves, who are currently fighting the Red Wings. They defeat Golbez thanks to a sudden appearance by Rydia, now a young woman due to her time spent in the Feymarch, the home of the Eidolons. However, the party ultimately fails to prevent Golbez from stealing the Dwarves' crystal. With the help of the Dwarves, they enter the Tower of Babil in order to obtain the crystals Golbez has stored there, only to find that they have been moved to a surface portion of the tower. Yang later sacrifices himself in order to stop the tower's cannons from firing on the Dwarves (though he's later revealed to have survived). After escaping a trap set by Golbez, the party flees the underworld aboard the Enterprise, with Cid sacrificing himself to reseal the passage between the two worlds and to prevent the Red Wings from continuing their pursuit (he, too, is revealed later to have survived).[34] The party, now joined by Edge, the prince of Eblan, travels back to the Tower of Babil in order to take back the stolen crystals. Upon reaching the crystal room, however, the party falls through a trap door to the underworld. Meeting with the Dwarves once again and finding Cid to be alive, the party sets out to retrieve the eighth crystal before Golbez can. When the crystal is obtained, Golbez appears and reveals he still has control over Kain, while taking the crystal for himself.[35] After learning of the Lunar Whale, a ship designed to take travelers to and from the moon, the party return to Mysidia where the town's Elder and mages summon the ship.[36]

Arriving on the Moon, the party meets the sage Fusoya, who explains that Cecil's father was a Lunarian.[37] Fusoya also explains that a Lunarian named Zemus plans to destroy life on the Blue Planet so that the Lunarians can take over, using Golbez to summon the Giant of Babil, a colossal robot.[38] The party returns to Earth and the forces of the two worlds attack the Giant, including Palom and Porom, who have been revived. After the party breaks the robot, Golbez and Kain confront them, only to have Fusoya break Zemus' control over Golbez, in turn releasing Kain. Cecil learns that Golbez is his older brother.[39] Golbez and Fusoya head to the core of the Moon to defeat Zemus, and Cecil's party follows. In the Moon's core, the party witnesses Golbez and Fusoya kill Zemus, but then quickly fall to his resurrected form, the spirit Zeromus, the embodiment of all of Zemus' hatred and rage.[40] Back on Earth, the Elder of Mysidia commands all of Cecil's allies and friends to pray for the party, which gives Cecil and his allies the strength to fight and slay Zeromus. Following the battle, Fusoya and Golbez opt to leave Earth with the moon.[41] Cecil, at last accepting the truth, acknowledges Golbez as his brother, and bids him farewell.

During the epilogue, most of the cast reunites to celebrate Cecil and Rosa's wedding and their coronation as Baron's new king and queen, while Kain is seen atop Mount Ordeals, having vowed to atone for his misdeeds.

Alvalanker on the East Side Dave Show

 I just had one of the most fun and important gigs of my life on the East Side Dave Show on Compound Media on Jan 18th 2022.  I went with Daniel "Bobo" Kurlan who is famous from being a regular on the Opie and Anthony show.   East Side Dave and Roy Harter and the whole staff were all awesome and funny and happy to be there.  It was a great atmosphere.  The show went fantastic.

The Trump and Biden Era's and COVID

At the time of this writing, the rest of the world and I have been going through a pandemic caused by a virus known as COVID19 which causes flu like symptoms in humans and has a tendancy to exacerbate pre-existing health conditions in sick and elderly individuals.  There is a lot of debate about where it came from and why it happened when it did, which I will get into, and the vaccines that have been made and almost forced upon the public to take.  These are new, highly untested vaccines especially in regards to long term side effects and many people are against them, but they are in the minority and labled as "anti vaxxers" and "conspiracy theorists."  The vaccines have failed to show much efficacy, as there are now 3 booster shots required after the original shot and people who are fully vaccinated are still getting sick with COVID and others who are not vaccinated and have not been vaccinated since this all began in the United States around March 2020.  Some say this is a retaliation by the "left" to sabotage Donald Trumps ability to get re-elected after he destroyed and ruined all the democrats plans and hopes for the future.  And his re-election was imminent late in 2019, close to the election of 2020, the economy booming and unemployment at an all time low, stock market doing very well and inflation down dramatically compared to how it is now under the Biden administration and the previous administration, when it comes to food or gas, taxes, tolls, and prices everywhere.  It has just been a disaster of almost 2 years now since March 2020 when COVID hit the US big and everyone had to start wearing masks and "social distancing" and being under constant confusion, ignorance and fear of something we had no control over and that could possibly be life threatening on a large scale.  Thankfully it seems it is not turning out to be that way since the last "variant" or strain seems weaker and much more like a regular flu and not lethal (not that COVID is lethal to healthy adults, mainly the sick and elderly or people with underlying medical conditions) but the fear is still being propogated by the mainstream media and they seem to be losing more credibility by the day, as media and news/journalism is changing and going in a new direction as the old format of mainstream cable news media is collapsing and becoming disliked by a majority of the people who pay attention to politics and current events.
