The title says why do they do that? I came up with that question while Antonia and I were out walking Friday night and a very attractive young girl walked by all made up with a good looking outfit and then on her feet she had platform combat boots. Now I know I’m out of touch with today’s fashion trends but I just think it made her look weird. I knew this girl she’s a very good looking nice figure and good legs so I asked myself why she would wear something that took away from her natural good looks. I guess it is the influence of the influencer’s generation. You know those young people on the Net that set trends that aren’t really complimentary but make them feel important till someone else comes along. When I was in high school and my parents let me dress myself I was never a trend follower. I wore what I wanted to not what the rest of the world said I had to. I liked loafers and shoes that were tied. Now I’m not saying I didn’t like things like Bell bottoms. I loved the Hippy generation. It just seemed that once everybody was wearing something the price would go up. Look at the trend of ripped or holes in jeans. People are baying hundreds of dollars for jeans that you can just give to kids and they rip them up for free. What’s the purpose of wearing high-top sneakers with untied laces just because some gangster does. I understand that if you are young then it makes you feel cool. Back in the day of the hippy once something came into the mainstream the kids didn’t want it anymore now it seems they want everything no matter how unconformable it makes them and they have to have the expensive version. Go into a poor neighborhood and you’ll see two things right away. Two hundred fifty dollar sneakers and Apple cell phones on kids that can’t afford to take the bus to school. I know young parents that go out to work two jobs just so their kids can have what they want. I never wanted for anything growing up but I didn’t want the newest trendy thing out there. Well, I guess by today’s standards I’m either uncool or just out of touch. This is FATS and my very stylish friend ANTONIA saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

Well, fat boy went and did it. He’s running for president again and not only that Elon Musk is so desperate to keep Twitter alive that he gave Trump back his account. Well, people, I follow like George Takei has moved to Mastodon where I am as well. You just have to go to @bruffjeffrey mastodon to find me. While I don’t think he can get elected again I realize that there are millions of bigots and racists as well as dumb people out there who worship the ground he slithers on. If he had not lost the last election, you’d think there would be at least one little piece of proof out there and there is none. So the real question arises are there enough anti-democracy morons out there to make his run viable. While I hate Trump I don’t think Joe Biden should run again. I’m going to be 77 next month and I recognize the fact that I’m just not as quick mentally as I was a year ago to forget the Physical problems that come with old age. That is what really scares me about Trump as he already seems to be somewhat mentally impaired. I was glad to see that the Republicans didn’t get all they wished for in the midterms but they got enough to make sure Congress doesn’t get anything accomplished this time around. Time to get ready for Sunday football so ANTONIA and FATS will say CIAO until next time from Medellin, Colombia.

Well we had our midterm and there are still a couple of races up for grabs but basically, we’re still a Democracy. Trump didn’t do well, and there’s talk now that old Ron will run against him in the Republican primary. That could become the first X-rated campaign, which will make for great fun. These two idiots have nothing nice to say to each other and it will be fun to see what happens when one wins and the other loses. Will the loser kiss and make up with the other guy or go home and lock themselves in the closet and scream. If they choose to debate the networks will have to have censors on the stage and referees from professional boxing to keep things in check. These two people are the nastiest of the nastiest. They are both arrogant and narcissus so I don’t think I‘d want to be a moderator. It could be great fun to watch. The Democrats on the other hand should really look for somebody other than Biden to run. I mean he’s a nice guy but I think they would be better served by somebody younger with a very thick skin. The Republicans will be throwing every age-related insult they can find at him. Well, at least we can relax for a couple of days before the bullshit starts all over again. This is FATS and his Girl Friday ANTONIA saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

If you enjoy the benefits of living in a free Democratic country I strongly suggest you get off your collective asses and vote on Tuesday or sit home do nothing and kiss it all goodbye.

Hi guys, when I say there really isn’t a choice anymore you know of course I mean in politics. Look what’s going on, if Biden and Trump end up going for round two your so-called choice is between a friendly old guy who is starting to lose touch and a man who is mentally ill. Old Ron is not much better. There are people in both parties who would make a much better President but for whatever reason, they choose not to run. Sounds like a lot of us doesn’t it. You know the ones that say I don’t want to get involved. We have a minimum age in order to run for president I think besides term limits we should consider a maxim age so they don’t get out of touch with the people. I know the first might happen I don’t think the second has a choice. So, we should have them take a psychological exam to prove their competence to be President. If I could pick someone to run for President right now I would lean toward Michelle Obama. She’s a constitutional lawyer young quick on her feet mentally I think she would be great. But, in this atmosphere she has two strikes against her 1, she’s a woman, and 2, she’s a black woman. Trump would absolutely lose what’s left of his mind if he lost to her. I am old and don’t have a lot of years left but I do fear for my family when all this is done. This has been FATS and ANTONIA saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.
