Deep Time has the crew of America has caught some type of virus the medical AI could not detect, and they are quarantined until they can find out what it is. In A Deadly Influence, the police are still searching for a young boy kidnapped for ransom.

I’ve been watching a lot of Call of Duty MW2 YouTube videos, watching influencer streams, and all the rest to get back into the console version of CODMW2. Man did they do a great job on this game!

Getting ready to finish up the MS Excel course. Discord is almost at its end, Canva still has a way to go. I really enjoy the variety of courses available on Udemy, which is also available on my phone, my iPad and my laptop. I can always get in a quick lesson, regardless of where I am.

Well, folks, I have a lot on my plate today. I hope you all have a great Thursday!

Until next time…

If you’ve never seen Mr. Bean, you’ll enjoy this. It is typical British humor. I hope you find it as funny as I do. These episodes are about an hour+ long, so if it’s too much, just watch a few minutes. I’m confident this will entertain most of you.

Well, that’s it for today. Have a great Friday!!

Until next time…

I think you’ll agree with me when I say that music can inspire us. This is a music track that lasts about an hour, but you only have to listen to this for a few minutes. Try it out. This pumped me up after about 2 minutes.

I wanted to change it up a bit today, so enjoy!

Have a great Monday, folks!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Motivation Monday – Learning

There is an event I was supposed to give a presentation to, but had to back out because of my family situation. To meet my obligation, I created a PowerPoint presentation that I converted into a video. All in PowerPoint! How did I do this? I learned how.

Whenever we are presented with a problem, particularly one that we do not know how to solve, we tend to procrastinate. I know I did. But, I solved the problem by taking a PowerPoint course on Udemy. Here’s the link: https://www.udemy.com/share/102gUM3@UBmn5-rxpk4mJ0JGZ6ZORLDOZi4WjMZqTbztQLkb_ZxR2E8NJcUAXIZ8NbEYeZ3f/

Motivation to learn is sometimes driven by what we need to do. I had a presentation to give. Others may have other tasks, but not know how to do what they need to know. Where does one go? For me, my “go to” is either YouTube or Udemy. I always gravitate toward Udemy because I enjoy learning in a step-by-step manner, which most of the instructors on Udemy use in their courses.

You may search through blogs, search YouTube, or just do an internet search in general. My brother used a YouTube video to replace a bad garbage disposal once.

So, if you have a problem, which involves learning something, get online and start looking around. You’ll find the answer. Once you’ve learned what you need to, motivation to get the task done takes care of itself. I could not wait to put my presentation together. The folks running the retreat I was supposed to attend, got the presentation and loved it.

Well, that’s it for today, folks. Motivation improves when we know what we need to do, and more importantly how to do it.

Have a great Monday, folks.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Gaming Saturday – CODM World Championships

Boy, what a weekend. I’ve been watching Stage 4 of the CODM World Championships and really enjoying them. This weekend is Japan and Europe. Japan’s teams are competing for their one and only slot to go to Stage 5, where they will compete with top teams from other countries. Europe’s teams are competing one of three slots given to them for the final stage.

If you’ve never seen these before, you’ll learn quite a bit watching them. You’ll see some great spots to get to in each map. You’ll also learn how to play Search and Destroy, Hardpoint, and Control. I am pretty decent at Hardpoint, but not that great with Search and Destroy or Control. Watching these gives me a better idea of how to tackle each of these game modes when I play.

Here’s the YouTube link for all things CODM: https://www.youtube.com/c/CODMEsports.

I achieved Legendary in Multiplayer and Battle Royal this last week. Man, I’m so happy. This is something I added to my task list for playing the game and so glad I did. Next Saturday, I’ll give you some tips and tricks for achieving Legendary status in both sides of the game.

Well, that’s it for now.

Happy Gaming!

I ran across this guy on TikTok and his clips are hilarious. I found his channel on YouTube, and boy, what a collection of funny clips. You’ll see this guy again. My favorite is the YouTube video above. By the way, if you’d like to follow this guy, he has 1.2 Million followers. His channel is Charlie Berens.

I hope you find this as funny as I did!

If you’re a fellow gamer, don’t forget to hit my blog tomorrow. It’s my fledgling weekly post about Call of Duty Mobile and Diablo Immortal.

Well, that’s it for now.

Until next time…
