Cardinal comes from the Latin Cardinalis-pertaining to a hinge; applied to that on which something turns or depends.

The number 12 is related to the cardinal as there are 12 eggs in a cardinals nest.

It symbolizes passionate romance and fierce leadership.

A cardinal rule is one of great importance; crucial and pivotal.

A cardinal number is a natural number as in zero, one, two, or three, etc.

Ina nautical sense, there are 4 cardinal directions, north, south, east, and west.

The cardinal does not migrate in the winter, it stands its ground.

Birds are free creatures. They’re messengers from heaven. If a cardinal appears to you and wakes you up out of your slumber it could be a message; a symbol. You’re at a crucial point in your life. Stand tall and weather the storm. Be on the lookout for passion and romance. Be natural and act with precision. Be a leader. I am free; free to choose, free to live, and free to be.

The Artemis Plan

What’s up everyone?

The Artemis Plan is NASA’s Lunar Exploration Program Overview, and it was written in September, 2020. The document itself is 74 pages. I wanted to read through the whole thing, but I was so busy today, and I ended up skimming through it.

That’s okay though. Here are some highlights.

  • Suppliers and small businesses across America have made contributions to ensure the success of The Artemis Program
  • You might not be aware, but for the last 20 years, humans have continuously lived and worked aboard the International Space Station 250 miles above Earth, preparing for the day we move farther into the solar system.
  • Humans will travel 250,000 miles to the Moon
  • It is 140 million miles to Mars from the Moon
  • The main goal here is for us to get to Mars. First the Moon, and then to Mars.
  • 2024 is not an arbitrary date. It is the most ambitious date possible, and our success at the Moon, and later, at Mars, will be grounded in our national goals and robust capabilities.
  • The sooner we get to the Moon, the sooner we get American astronauts to Mars.

7 Steps between 2021 and 2024

  • 2021- the first Commercial Lunar Payload Services delivery (CLPS); 16 instruments will be sent to the lunar service, which will pave the way for human explorers.
  • Viper; Golf- Cart-Sized rover will be the first to investigate lunar polar soil samples
  • CAPSTONE CubeSat; small satellite will be the first spacecraft to enter the lunar Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit-the future home of the Gateway
  • Artemis 1; un-crewed maiden flight
  • PPE & HALO Launch; Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) & Habitation And Logistics Outpost (HALO) makeup the first pieces of the Gateway. NASA and the European Space Agency will conduct early characterization of the deep space environment.
  • Artemis 2; 10-day crewed test flight. NASA astronauts will set the record for the farthest human travel from Earth. Validation of deep space communication and navigation systems.
  • 2024- Artemis 3; Orion and its crew will once again travel to the Moon boarding the Human Landing System (HLS) that will bring the first woman and next man to the lunar surface.

As you can imagine, there’s a ton of information in this document, but that’s pretty much how it’s going down over the next four years. It’s going to be awesome to see all this play out.

Alright people, have a wonderful night.

Ground Control to Major Tom; We’re Going to the Moon

I am beyond stoked to share this information. According to NASA’s Artemis Plan, NASA will land two humans, one man and one woman on the Moon by 2024. Their mission is to continue exploring the lunar surface, establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade, and use whatever information they gather for a future trip to Mars.

Can you imagine if their primary objective is to have children on the Moon? What if they’re sending a man and a woman there to start a whole new race? I digress, but shit man, who knows.

Any who, on July 20th of this year it will be exactly 52 years since the United States’ Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. The significance of this event back in 1969 was that Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission. That’s right! The United States is the only country to successfully put humans on the Moon. Between 1969 and 1972 there were six crewed missions to the Moon.

It will amazing to say there was a Moon landing during our lifetime, and for those who were around for the first, you’ll be doubly excited. I’m going to read through The Artemis Plan in its entirety, and I’ll get back to you with all the juicy details.

Traveling The Universe; Is it Possible?

Did you ever consider space travel? The idea of interstellar space traveling doesn’t seem so outrageous or impossible when you’re watching shows or movies where people are doing it.

Like you hop into your car and drive to the food store, you could hop into a mini-craft, and fly into the atmosphere of another planet-right?

The thought crossed my mind recently that maybe traveling throughout the universe is possible, but it’s being kept from us because of a lack of control.

Maybe, until we’re able to be tracked and monitored, that door will stay closed.

Senator Chris Murphy’s Op-Ed Piece Has Some of Us Curious

I would love to know why government officials (Senator Chris Murphy) are so angry and upset that college sports were played during 2020?

Why does it bother you so much-it’s like you’ve taken it personally and made it your mission to come down on and find a reason to reprimand NCAA sports because COVID-19 didn’t bring the college football and basketball seasons to a complete halt. Why?

You’re angry! Why?

(You’ll probably say because you don’t want people getting sick, and you’ll completely ignore your overreach from governing to parenting.)

Has the COVID-19 Power Trip gone so far to your heads that you think you can use it to shutdown anything you want?

And if not you take it personally? Like a personal challenge?


There are bigger issues here; like it’s against the law to force medical care on an American citizens, by law, it’s illegal to force someone to take a vaccine, and still it has been said that if you don’t vaccinate, you might not be able to fly and there could be other travel restrictions enforced. Isn’t that called extortion?

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He was an Aquarius born on the 12th day of February in 1809. Lincoln was assassinated while in office on April 15, 1865. He was one of the most famous Presidents in American history mostly because of what was going on in the country during his time in office. Lincoln led the nation through a Civil War, and he worked to free slaves with his Emancipation Proclamation. On Friday, February 12 we celebrate the birth and life of Abraham Lincoln.

President Joe Biden is looking to renew relations with Palestine, which apparently has been in decline over the past four years. It was said, while in office, President Trump cut funding to Palestinians and destroyed decades of peace. In addition, the new US administration plans to take a tougher stance against Isreal in the West Bank on issues concerning settling, building, and expanding.

After Green Bay’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game, rumors spread about Aaron Rodgers possibly not coming back to Green bay. The 49ers popped up as possibly interested, but Rogers quickly silenced critics on the Pat McAfee Show. “There’s no reason why I wouldn’t return to Green Bay,” he said. This year, Aaron Rodgers threw for 48 touchdowns and led the Pack to a 13-3 record. He also led the NFL in passer rating and completion percentage.

🎬Da 5 Bloods by Spike Lee was named best film of 2020.

MLK Jr.

With the attack on history in this country I’m surprised we even recognize Martin Luther King Jr., but you know what, Nooz Buffet will.

King was born on the 15th of January in Atlanta Georgia, and he died on April 4, 1968 in Memphis Tennessee. He was just 39 years old when he was assassinated during his famous “I have A Dream Speech.” Yes, he was a minister, but he was also an activist and remembered most for his leadership during the Civil Rights movement.

MLK believed in equality, and he devoted his life to ensuring black Americans were given the same rights given to all Americans spelled out in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. He was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi, which inspired his belief and use of peaceful protesting and nonviolent resistance.

Today, Monday, January 18th, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Day 1

Hello everyone. If you’ve been following us than you might’ve noticed we usually take off the last week of December and the first week of January; been doing it since 2018, however, this year I said fuc! the break. It’s not that I don’t need one, I just don’t feel like it’s time to take one.

Sometimes we must toss our feelings aside and push through. There has been an overcast all day, it’s drizzling, and my phone says it’s 32 degrees outside, but it feels more like 62.

I can’t wait until Smorgasbord is on the shelf at your local Barnes & Nobles or available for you to buy an e-version of-soon. I promise. In one of the chapters I mentioned something about normal everyday people having the opportunity to become heroes out of this “pandemic,” and a good example just came to me.

If the government doesn’t violate our constitutional rights and just informs us about the dangers concerning COVID-19, then the scenario plays out like this:

Government “We cannot force you to stay home, and we cannot force you to close your business, but…..”

90% of Americans who are business owners would probably say, “Okay, if we can die from this virus, then we should close our business until its safe.”

After sitting home for five months, 90% of Americans who own businesses would probably say, “Okay, I think it’s time for us reopen. We haven’t been able to pay our bills, and we’re losing our business.”

At this point all 90% become heroes because they left their homes and chose to reopen their business despite the “deadly conditions,” but they were only able to do so because they weren’t forced to stay home and close their businesses.

Instead, because the government is violating our constitutional rights, forcing businesses to close, and forcing stay-at-home orders, these people are evil, they’re Trump supporters, they’re racist, and they don’t care about other people. According to some people, these business owners are causing more stress on the rest of us.

Do you see what happened here? The government violated the constitution, and the government used the media to tell us who the heroes are. They control the whole narrative from beginning until they decide to end it.

I don’t want to start 2021 by talking about this bullshit, I just wanted to let all the business owners around the country know that you’re all heroes for opening your businesses and serving the public during a pandemic. Anyone who’s helping and working during this is a hero. Mainstream media will demonize you and make you out to be enemies of the state, but you’re not. It’s actually the opposite.

Currently, the sun is in the astrological sign of Capricorn. Happy birthday season to all the Capricorns out there. Saturn is Capricorn’s ruling planet-it’s a planet known for hard work and discipline. Popular culture in America is subliminally saturated with Saturn symbolism.

The moon is in the astrological sign of Leo. Leo is a fire sign. The moon will remain in Leo until it goes into Virgo on Sunday. Right now, we have 9 hours and 19 minutes of daylight, and 14 hours and 40 minutes of darkness or night.

Did you remember to make your New Year’s Resolutions? Is there something you want to start or stop now that the new year is here? New Year’s Resolutions are fun, but more importantly, they’re pretty much the goals and hopes we go into the new year with. Dieting is huge. Everyone wants to establish a good diet or join a gym. Whatever you decide, I hope you stick with it, and I hope everything works out for you.

🏈NCAA- In college football Bowl action today, (9)Georgia beat (8)Cincinnati 24-21, and (14)Northwestern beat Auburn 35-19. (It was really weird not seeing a rank in front of Auburn) Clemson and Ohio State play tonight at 8pm. (1)Alabama is ahead of (4)Notre Dame by 7. That game is in the second quarter.

💲The Mega Millions Jackpot is up to $401 million. Hitting that would be an excellent way to start the year.

-20 states are raising the minimum wage, Pennsylvania is not one of them.

-Portland is kicking the new year off with a riot.

-We can’t wait for Cobra Kai season 3 to begin!

-The Owner of Eastend Bar in Costa Mesa, California is facing jail time for opening during a COVID lockdown. (Is California still property of the United States?)
