Purio Coffee

2017-01-19 - Thursday - Purio Football Cookies - 08:00 AM ICT - Purio Coffee - English Class Notes - We had these Danish Cookies from Danisa or other countries back in America for Christmas way back when I was a kid or during birthdays or special occasions for some people. Rugby (N.) is like American Football except forward passing is illegal & there are some other differences with the rules & the styles of play & some of the details. Sports: we talked about sports. Hockey has a faster pace. Rugby or football may have more breaks or interruptions. I like basketball. I played some tennis in high school. I sent you an email yesterday asking about TET.

February, 2017

2017-02-06 - Monday - Simpsons Obama Rigged - 11:00 PM: AC: Homer Simpson said it was rigged. Obama said no. Back in 2008, Obama talked about Ohio. Obama confessed. Democrats ran voting machines in Ohio. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. No pain, no gain. Rome wasn't built in a day. In the cartoon Halloween special in 2008, they made that joke, that it was rigged in favor of John McCain. The truth is the opposite. The truth is stranger than fiction. We learn from history. The evidence is there. Join the revolution in changing the world if you have not already. We are making the world better as we help free people from addictions and bad people and especially bad government which is a collection and union and group of bad people that control you and your land. We make things better as we educate and as we lower taxes and regulations and other bad things in order to promote capitalism and freedoms and rights. The video contains clips from Obama from 2008 and 2016 and also a clip from Simpsons season 20, episode 4 (s20e04) which aired in the fall of 2008. Two Versions of Obama: 2008 Obama talked about Ohio democrats running the voting machines. 2016 Obama asked what that could even mean. He also said it was not rigged or whatever in October. After the left lost, then he said Russia rigged it. Later, Obama may have said Russia didn't do it as a way to get out of any trouble he may be in someday. 2008 Simpsons episode had Homer go to vote and tried to click on Obama but the machine switched the votes to McCain and then ate Homer. It was part of the Simpsons Halloween episode (s20e04). The truth is that the machines switched many votes to Obama in 2008 and 2012. Plus, this kind of thing has been happening for many many years.

2017-03-02 - Thursday - Family & Beer - 09:00 AM - Purio Coffee (PNT) - BEER MAKES US INTO CHILDREN. AS FAMILY TRADITIONS DECLINE, SUBSTITUTION IS ACQUIRED FROM FRIENDS. WE START TO DEVELOP GOOD AND BAD HABITS FROM FRIENDS. OUR FRIENDS BECOME OUR FAMILY WHEN OUR FAMILY IS NOT OUR FAMILY. WHY DO PEOPLE DRINK, SMOKE, GET HIGH, GIVE INTO PEER PRESSURE, CULTURE, SOCIAL NORMS? BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE NORMAL, TO FIT IN, TO BE LOVED, LIKED, NOT BULLIED, ABUSED, TEASED. I TALKED ABOUT MY LIFE. I TALKED ABOUT WHEN I DRANK, SMOKED, LIVED. I TALKED ABOUT MY BROTHER IN COLLEGE, AT WORK, IN MINISTRY, WHILE HOMELESS, AS HE GOT MARRIED, AS HE LEARNED, AS A MAN SCAMMED HIM, AS BAD THINGS HAPPENED, AS HE RECOVERED, AS HE MARRIED INTO A BIG FAMILY. HIS OLDER WIFE ALREADY HAS GRANDKIDS. MY SISTERS RECOVERED FROM DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTIONS. WE TALKED ABOUT THE HIGH TABLE, THE COUNTER. WE CAN STAND TO TALK AND WE CAN DRINK COFFEE WHILE WORKING ON A HIGH COUNTER TOP. IT IS LIKE A DESK OR SHELF. IT MIGHT BE FLEXIBLE LIKE A TREE. THAT CAN BE GOOD IF IT KEEPS THE TABLE FROM BREAKING FROM TOO MUCH PRESSURE AND WEIGHT AND FORCE AND PAIN AND FRICTION.

IN CASE OF DISASTERS, WARS, OR OTHER THINGS, IT IS BETTER FOR FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO RUN AWAY TO A BIG HOUSE OR CASTLE OR HIDEOUT OR FORTRESS OR HOLE OR CABIN OR SOMETHING THAT IS SECRET OR FAR AWAY

MAYBE A GRANDPA OR UNCLE OR SOMEBODY IN THE EXTENDED FAMILY HAS A BIGGER HOUSE AND MAYBE FAMILIES CAN HAVE REUNIONS THERE

Power Rangers

2017-03-13 - Monday - Power Rangers 101 - 09:30 AM AC - been watching this toy selling kids show since like 1993. Watched through to the end of season 13 by the 5th of May, 2017.

April, 2017

2017-04-01 - Saturday - Power Rangers 501 - 10 PM AC - Power Rangers Turbo which followed Zeo.

2017-04-01 - Saturday - Blow Em Up - Power Rangers Kids Zeo - The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (PR) blow up Rita & Lord Zedd and their castle on the moon in our 1996 parody film on them which came out during season 3. This is the last episode of season 4, that is episode 50, which came out 1996, November 27th. PR came from Japan & Saban & Fox adapted it to the USA in 1993 for TV & the first film movie came out summer of 1995 and the second movie called Turbo came after this episode in the end of March 1997 right before season 5. This is the end of the Zeo Rangers series, too.
.
In this video, from our parody of the rangers, Rita was played by my younger sister, Crystal Ann Arnold. My brother, Rick, played Billy, the Blue Ranger who invented a bomb deflector. On the TV show, Rita gave those robots a bomb which blew them up. But in our parody, which came out in 1996, February 6th, Tuesday, the day we stopped recording more, which means it came out before November 1996 when Rita & Zedd had a bomb for the robot bad guys.
.
In our parody, Billy used the bomb deflector to deflect bombs back onto the bad guys, like Rita, Zedd, & even the evil moon castle base. That was the end of our parody of the PR. You can find other family & friends in our hour long film we made from the 2nd to the 6th of February 1996 at our house, a trailer, space 163, at Rose Grove, 3839 Pacific, Forest Grove City, Oregon State, the country of the United States of America, 97116-2277. It is funny that we made our parody in a trailer and Rita, Zedd, & the main villains ended up living in a trailer or RV on the real show that same year of 1996 when I was ten years old and was turning eleven on the 11th of February 1996 which was only 5 days away. Rick's birthday was on the 5th, Monday, the second to last day we shot for the video. Shot means shooting with cameras and camcorders and not with guns for making videos. People can watch these videos now for learning English, for education, for insight, for history, and for fun, for education, refreshments, inspiration, encouragement.

Has the United Nations, George Soros, and others, been funding flooding open borders in the United States and especially in Europe? I said in this video, "I'll show you my DACA if you show me your DACA?" Also, "Do you want to TPP my house?" I sing a little in this video. I reference a bunch of things from global world news, history, random facts about life, economics, learning English, my life, pop culture, like the nerd that I am. I reference the insanity of political correctness. The tone of my voice in this video is too broken, abused, strong, nervous, annoying, etc. I film my laptop, my Facebook, my computer clock, for a second. I talk about trying to find myself. I reference Eyes Wide Shut which reveals scary things underneath our feet. Doremon appears at the end of this video. I do some voices at the end. I talk to myself, I mean to Doremon. Interesting conversation at the end. I speak a little Vietnamese.}

2017-10-07 - Saturday - Life Update Video - 09:00 AM ICT - Purio Coffee - 02:10:27 hours long: I reference that website, Mea Omnia, that we started working on in early 2011, or something like that, me and Brent Goth of Comcast Wanted Adventure Host which aired early in 2010 on channel 38 in like Oregon. I did the web design. Brent was the executive, the guy with the money, paying for GoDaddy web hosting (like internet service providing {ISP, not ICP} for the web servers of the websites, domain name registry {DNS}, Wordpress web building, etc). He bailed me out of jail in 2012. We worked on that site until like 2013 & then gave up on that. I would love to return to that project. Mea Omnia was set to be like Steemit. I mention police in this video, something about Europe or Vietnam maybe. I talk about taking advice. You have to move on like Oprah did, maybe, when you get to a top in your life. Go to the next challenge or deteriorate. When it's time to evolve, you will know. I mention a bunch of random movies, television shows, like the Terminator, things related to the future. So much is hidden in science fiction that may mirror what is already in our real world. Great people have been banned. This video is a little better than my videos from the previous month, but it is still pretty naggy like Burnt Oatmeal. I pledge at the end of this video to write more articles, make more videos, memes, links, posts, everywhere, no matter, no matter where I might be in the world, no matter how bad it gets.

RIP FAIR USE

2017-10-18 - Wednesday - YouTube Channel Termination - 10 AM OTC - Noticed RIP OJAWALL - Since like 2008, I've been uploading videos to my channels on YouTube. Meanwhile, over the years, I've been accused of copyright infringement (RIP FAIR USE). In the past, I would not respond to those claims, those emails, those notices, for years, because I was protected under the Fair Use Act (American Law), & nothing happened for years. If something were to happen, it would be in the courtroom because it's not legally YouTube's job to interfere with those cases, trials, situations, legally speaking. As a platform, YouTube is or has been legally not liable for what users upload under the Safe Harbor Act. Remember what anti-trust did to AT&T in 1984? Should that same thing be done to Google, now? Because you cannot, generally, or for Big Tech, legally speaking, should not be allowed to be a Platform & a Publisher at the same time. But regardless, YouTube has been terminating my video channels, including OJAWALL, in October of 2017, and also JoeyArnoldVN, which was murdered in October of the next year, 2018. So, in other words, thousands of my home videos, dating back to like 1996, has been removed, erased, scrubbed, killed, Hillary Clinton Mario Bowser Phone Hammer Smashing Acid Washed, Oatmeal Balled, Black Balled, I Love Lucy Lucille Ball Balled, Shaved Head So Bald, eradicated, genocide, melted, etc. Pretty sad month.

2017-11-21 - Tuesday - 2nd to Last Day in VN Video - 06:17 AM: I talk about how that might be my last day in Vietnam. My student, Chinh Pham, bought me a plane ticket. Lego Man Mark Charles motorbike drove me to the airport late, about an hour before departure, take-off time of like 8:22 AM ICT, thought it wasn't cutting it too close. I was too late for baggage claim, but they refused to let me claim myself at all. They refused my entrance onto the plane & refused transferring my flight, refunding, or anything. I told everybody about my problem that week, mostly on Facebook. I posted videos and a few posts about it that week. I spent some of my Bitcoin, some of my Steem, through a website that accepted cryptocurrencies, to buy a new plane ticket for like $800 or maybe more. My ANA plane flew to Japan. So, I said, Ana, or Anna, took me to Tokyo. It's a joke since I have a Vietnamese friend named Anna. Since like 1993, when I was eight years old, I thought about world travel. I've been to California 1992, Idaho 2000, New York 2004, Quebec 2006, Hawaii 2007, Vietnam 2012, Cambodia 2013. Beyond that, I thought about returning to America after five years in Vietnam. I ended up returning to the United States of America (USA), my home country, for Thanksgiving of 2017, which was last year.

arnold, thank you for kind comment. Was your beard photographed in winter?

My hair and beard grows fast. I cut it many times.

Wow, Kate Winslet is a blonde beauty that Korean men want.
How did the beauty change now 20 years ago?

I do not know. She is probably the same now as she was long ago.
