Don't miss out.

Wanted to wish all a Happy Christmas!

Hey folks! While I personally don't celebrate holidays much these days I mean hard to get excited for this with bad health, not married, no kids, which is a blessing in itself! They cost to much to raise.

When you're disabled, and without family it can be a sad time! Or a good time to relax.. Depends on how you look at life but enough about me.. Hope you all are much better than I... But with that out of the way I'm sure a lot of you are on SANTA'S good list and you will get your stocking stuffed, drawers filled and belly's digesting a fine holiday meal made from the best butchered animal served with lots of love, and enjoy telling stories over fires burning in yule type logs.

I'll be spending it eating a hot pocket cooked in a dirty microwave... But served with a lot of love so who's complaining? Nope not me! Especially since I got a box full of these babies ready to munching. Besides I don't care what people think. But anyways. 

All I wanted to say is I wanted to wish you all a happy holidays, Merry Christmas, or whatever the hell you celebrate there rainbow. Oh and it's from the bottom of my bleeding... Heart.

Or Before It stops ticking and I stop posting for good... So the only Yule log I'll be burning til then will be after the Hot pockets when I have to hit the Bathroom. Hope for the best on that one for me. Nobody wants to go out like the KING Elvis. You know on the toilet bloated and covered in your own vomit & poo.

With that said didn't Elvis sing something for the holidays? Hmmm

But until that day comes my good friends remember that in 2025 we shall have hope again! So let's hope the final days of 2024 go by without anything major bad happening. As you know lot's of Drones and rumors flying around. All I hope is that the next year we're all alive, well and on the path to a bright, and better future.

While we count down and wait for new years! For the rest of us... Remember... It's Festivus!

Some off field issues has also hunted him this entire season with the entire Diddy scandal blowing up and the footage of him and Justin Bieber who was under age at the time in a night club and from the looks of it nothing wholesome was being done if you know what we mean.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024 hope you all have a ton of great food and enjoy laughs and love with your loved ones... Since I lost my mother I haven't had many nice Thanksgivings but I've spent past time with friends. Last year I spent it home and will probably be stuck home again as it's hard to watch others enjoy the love they have with their family. 

It's not fun when you lose a lot of your family over the last few years. Recently last year I lost my cousin Nelson Molinet Espino and most recent another Uncle by marriage of my blood aunt passed away, and my other 2nd cousin died a while back before Nelson.

There are also a lot of lost friends and stuff. SO when I sit there while the food is wonderful and to see these folks have all this joy it's never the same. Don't get me wrong I do want to wish all a lovely holiday and hope that the next big holiday in December brings all you a lot of joy. From all you boys and girls of all ages. But until then enjoy that turkey next week.

Jimmy Buffett RiP He was 76

Singer and songwriter Jimmy Buffett who gained millions of fans world wide with his folksy tales of living and loving on tropical sandy beaches, frozen concoction in hand, died Friday. He was 76. 

“Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement on his website said. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”

The statement didn't say where Buffett died or provide a cause of death. The singer had rescheduled concerts in May, and Buffett said on social media that he had been hospitalized. 

Buffett, who dubbed his brand of music “drunken Caribbean rock ‘n’ roll,” is arguably best known for “Margaritaville,” which was released in 1977 and launched him into national fame and into the history of American music.

The song went on to inspire a brand, which included restaurants and resorts, a radio station, clothing and apparel, as well as food and drink items like beer, tequila, salad dressings and salsa. It also helped make him a billionaire, with Forbes this month placing his real-time net worth at $1 billion.

But in an apparent nod to his business pursuits in the song “A Pirate Looks at Forty,” Buffett sang that he “made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast. Never meant to last, never meant to last.” Buffett was nominated for two Grammy Awards, for “Hey Good Lookin’” a cover of the Hank Williams classic and “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” a duet with country superstar Alan Jackson.

Elton John was among several stars to pay tribute to Buffett, calling him a “unique and treasured entertainer,” in a post on Instagram Stories. “His fans adored him and he never let them down. This is the saddest of news, a lovely man gone way too soon,” John wrote.  Actor Miles Teller also posted several photos of him with the singer on X, formerly known as Twitter. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys also took to X, where he wrote, “Love and Mercy, Jimmy Buffett.”  

Fans, affectionately dubbed “Parrotheads,” were also quick to pay tribute to the singer, who was born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, on Christmas Day 1946. He was brought up mainly in Mobile, Alabama. Many cited “One Particular Harbor” when remembering the singer: “But there’s one particular harbor/ So far yet so near/ Where I see the days as they fade away/ And finally disappear.”

After learning guitar at college he attended Alabama's Auburn University before graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi he began busking on the streets of New Orleans before going on to form his first band. He later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to work for Billboard Magazine and try his luck as a singer, the biography says. But it was in Key West, Florida, in the 1970s, that Buffett “found his true voice,” according to his website.

Fellow country singer Jerry Jeff Walker first let him stay at his Coconut Grove home, and then they drove in a 1947 Packard to Key West, he told graduating students at the University of Miami, where he received an honorary doctorate in music in May 2015.

“Needless to say, my life took a big and wonderful change towards South Florida, which has a lot to do with why I’m standing here today,” he said, while wearing flip-flops below the academic robes. Touring and recording with the Coral Reefer Band, he would go on to make 27 studio albums four went platinum and eight gold in a career that spanned more than five decades.
 

Buffett also appeared on TV and movies, wrote fiction and nonfiction books, including “Tales from Margaritaville,” “A Pirate Looks At Fifty,” as well as “Where Is Joe Merchant?,” and his work became a musical.

He popped up in the film “Jurassic World” as “running park visitor with margarita drinks,” as IMDB put it. He carried two, one in each hand. And Buffett guest-starred in the Tom Selleck show “Blue Bloods,” playing both himself and a virtual double who posed as the singer and scammed people.

A Broadway show based on his music, “Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville,” debuted in 2017.  In a recent interview, Buffett said his life-long love of reading came from his mother, Mary Lorraine Buffett, who also wanted him to be a writer. “I think she knew that for us to read we would see the world as a bigger place than where we grew up, which was a great gift,” he said.

He also dedicated some of his time to charity, starting the “Save the Manatee Club,” a nonprofit group that seeks to protect the large, docile marine mammals from boating injuries and harm by the actions of people.

In a 2017 interview with Men’s Journal, Buffett was asked what remained on his bucket list. “I have four things: Learn to hang ten. Go to space. Go to Pitcairn Island, where my Buffett ancestors are from. And go to Antarctica,” he said. 

The singer is survived by his wife, Jane Slagsvol, two daughters, Savannah and Sarah, and son, Cameron.

Disney Investigation Just Tip Of The Iceberg

More legal issues for the mouse house as reports that Disney District Criminal Investigation Is Just Tip Of The Iceberg. The former Reedy Creek Improvement District and its former Board members are being referred to the Florida State Inspector General for criminal investigation over alleged dirty Disney dealings, misuse of tax payer funds, and gifts that would be in violation of Florida State laws.

The former RCID spent over HALF A MILLION dollars purchasing Disney park passes for RCID employees in fiscal year 2022 alone in addition to other Disney resorts and perks all while Disney was effectively controlling the board itself and allegedly granting itself private contracts with the district.

Disney likely NEVER expected for anyone to ever dissolve the district as Desantis did last year and then start combing through the books.

Join LEGAL MINDSET and WDW PRO along with VALLIANT RENEGADE as they explain the situation.
Check out this show about this! This guy covered this very well, and I will be talking about this also this week in the news.

Remembering Jorge Rodriguez RIP

South Florida radio fans will remember George “Jorge” Rodriguez, the producer for WQAM-AM host Neil Rogers. Jorge passed away Friday morning, according to his daughter. Jorge Rodriguez had been keeping the memory of Rogers alive for years with this network replaying their old shows together. We lost not just Jorge but Suds recently, Eric, Neil and now Jorge.

Life is short and we just have the memories of those good old days when the whole gang was together on AM radio and it was the real Golden era of radio in the South Florida market. Those days seem so long ago. 

We have put together a couple of things in honor of Jorge below is a video in honor of our mentor, a father, husband and good friend to a lot of people.

Like Neil, Eric, Suds before him we will miss you Jorge... We won't forget the good times we all had from the early days on the show in the 90's to all the way til the end. 

Here is the post from Jorge's daughter, Sabrina:

"This is Jorge's eldest daughter You won't find it on the news yet, Neil & Jorge fans get it first My father passed away suddenly Friday morning. He was born in Cuba but America was his home- from FL, NC to MT. This would have been his first July 4th as a citizen. He frequented concerts, skated 3 to 4 times a week, and did more than I as his daughter could keep up with. Every Take-Your-Daughter-To-Work Day he'd let me work the board with him and allow me to press those famous *fart* buttons he and Neil would use. He was unstoppable till the very end. There's so much more that could be said for years about a great man like him. What are your favorite memories of Jorge?"

Snitches get?

Snitch and so called "Rapper" Tekashi 6ix9ine injured after beating at South Florida LA Fitness, Palm Beach sheriff's office says. To those involved we say "thank you" not that we advocate violence but that guy had a good beat down coming to him, and if he keeps up his behavior I'm sure he's gonna keep getting them when chances come up so he needs to triple his security and go hide somewhere before he ends up getting himself infront of the wrong people who will not stop at just a beat down. Here is the rest of the scoop.

MIAMI - Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was hospitalized after he was beaten while inside a Palm Beach County LA Fitness steam room, according to video posted on social media and police.

The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez and who sports rainbow colored hair, suffered facial cuts and had to be hospitalized following the beating Tuesday, his attorney, Lance Lazzaro, told news outlets.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said in a written statement that the assault occurred at the LA Fitness located in the 8000 block of Lantana Road in Lake Worth.

A Video posted to several social media sites showed Hernandez (Tekashi 6ix9ine) on the floor of the gym bathroom as men kicked him and grabbed him by the hair. The sheriff's office said the rapper was taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

As of Wednesday evening, no arrests had been made in connection with the incident. Tekashi 6ix9ine was a social media phenomenon with millions of followers on Instagram before becoming an ascendant name in hip-hop.

• He had a multiplatinum hit song, "Fefe," with Nicki Minaj, which peaked at No. 3 on the pop charts, and "Stoopid," featuring the incarcerated rapper Bobby Shmurda. After he was released from jail time thanks to snitching he released the song "Gooba" not just admitting to being a snitch but clowning on those he snitched on and other rappers in the industry. This caused further heat and hate for Tekashi.
