After all, that is the reason we learn about history, right? One instance I can remember learning about as a kid involved both world wars. Before the first war there was a lot of tension between France and Germany to a point everyone was expecting things to blow up at any moment. So to prepare themselves France set up fortification along the border incase the Germans attacked and would be taken down. To get around that Germany literally went around and plowed their way through Belgium to catch the French by surprise.
Twenty Five years later France sets up the Maginot Line and completely forgets what the Germans did the last time, and fell. That’s just one instance, and it seems history repeats itself far more often than we all realize like we have done before in our own country. A nation isn’t meant be run like a business because they are two completely different things. I also remember coming across a quote from Adam Smith, the father of capitalism himself talking about how, “The government of an exclusive company of merchants is, perhaps, the worst of all governments for any country whatever.” Which is exactly what we’ve had for far too long. It’s like some people just choose not to learn from our mistakes.
Another video I recorded, but this time it’s on instagram because it fits the maximum time frame allow for a video upload on there. I just wish there wan’t so much code you have to paste in order to embed it. More to come.
During the weekend in pokemon go, there was a time window set in game for a new pokemon to appear but could only be caught by completing field tacks. This was all happening an hour before the super bowl started and went on for 3 hours from there. Pretty sure you have some idea what I was more focused on during that time.
And the best part, my first catch was a shiny.
The year of the rat has officially begin. I was there for the parade as I am every year and was at my favorite spot. While the parade was going on a friend cam by and hung with me for the time. She’s never seen he lion dance before in person and as I expected, she loved it. I would have hung around there though out more of the day but had some place to go.
But as always I had my fun celebrating the new year.
I was in Chinatown this weekend for Chinese New Year. Nice little tradition of mine that i’ve been doing for some time in the middle of the last decade. And eventually I find what I believe is the best spot along the route because I get to see the Lion Dances. I think it’s the most interesting part of the parade.
