Saddest Day of Year: 'Blue Monday' (1/19)

"Those who fail to plan PLAN to fail"

Capitalist salesman Kevin Trudeau says he was initiated into uncle's "The Brotherhood"

Feel the feelings without clinging to them.

There is a saying we should all know. For by knowing it, we can love it and live it. Kevin Trudeau [Hevin' True Dough?] the miracle way to happiness is to take 100% responsibility for everything that happens to us.

"Well, that's impossible!" we may exclaim. "I can't be responsible for what others do to me!" Are we going to wait for them and react accordingly? Wouldn't it be better to act as if everything that happens to us were our fault?

"The buck stops here." If it stops here with me then it starts here with me, too. That is a good and useful way to approach "karma" -- the POWER OF OUR DEEDS TO PRODUCE RESULTS (eventual fruit and immediate mental resultants), now and in the interminable future.

Kevin Trudeau exposes secret societies, media control, human potential (exclusive interview)

Rather than wasting time wondering if everything is our fault, the advice given to successful Trudeau was to act as if everything were our fault. Love it. Live it. Because when we do, we will see a miracle.

There's no more waiting for the universe or others or anything to do things. It's just us.

• Blue Monday is on Jan. 19 this year: Blue Monday is the name given to the third Monday in January by former Cardiff University health psychologist [1] Cliff Arnall in 2005 [2, 3, 4]. Prof Arnall is a current member of The British Psychological Society (BPS) [5]. It is said by UK travel company Sky Travel to be the most depressing day of the year. It takes into account weather conditions and only applies to the Northern Hemisphere temperate zones. More

Brppke's Lagoon

For example, say a gal were lost on a desert island in the middle of the sea. Should she wait for lunch, or ruminate about who's to blame for her getting there? Is there anything to learn from being there? Are those coconuts just going to climb down?

Get up, dig for fresh water, find a way to scramble up the palm tree, bring a broken rock to cut down a coconut, which provides purified drinking fluid full of electrolytes and protein rich healthy fats in a delicious gel. Keep the shells. They'll come in handy for lots of things. Take a dip in the sea and gather some seaweed. Lay it out in the sun, which will make it very taste. Then the herb, root, fruit, and vegetable hunt begins. There's gathering to be done. Fire and cooking will come soon, and this forsaken wilderness will be converted into a paradise, a Blue Lagoon (based on the novel The Blue Lagoon).

Oh, but doesn't it feel so much better to feel sorry for ourselves?

What is Blue Monday?

Each January, a certain Monday carries a reputation for being the year’s most emotionally difficult day.

Known as "Blue Monday," it’s often linked with low moods, depleted motivation, and a post-holiday slump.

While the idea started as a publicity stunt, it has since become an annual reminder of something real and important: Mental health matters – especially when days are short and emotions feel heavy. In 2026, Blue Monday falls on January 19th.

Ram Dass (Dr. Richard Alpert) in India, meets guru

What is it? Blue Monday 2026 is observed on the third Monday in January and is often described as “the saddest day of the year.”

The label may be more symbolic than scientific, but the feelings it points to are common. After the holidays, many people experience a dip – financially, emotionally, and physically.

Cold weather, shorter daylight hours, and pressure to stick to resolutions can all contribute. More

LYRICS: "Voila"

"Voilà" (English translation) – Barbara Pravi (Genius Lyrics)

Listen to me, me, the half singer

Talk about me, to your loved ones, to your friends

Tell them about this little girl with black eyes and crazy dreams

What I want is to write stories that you will hear about

That's all

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am

Here I am, even if I'm scared as I'm naked, yes

Here I am in the noise and in silence

Look at me, or at least what's left of it

Look at me, before I hate myself
What can I say that another hasn't already said?

I don't have much, but I place here what I do have

Voilà

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am

Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked

That's my face, that's my scream, here

I am, never mind

Western Buddhist nun Bhikkhuni Gotami is wise

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà right here

Me, my dream, my will, how

I'm dying from it, how I'm laughing at it

Here I am in the noise and in silence

Do not leave, I'm begging you to stay for a long time

It might not save me, no

But I don't know how to live without you

Love me how you would love a friend who's leaving forever

I want to be loved, because I don't know myself how to like the shape of me

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am

Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked

Here I am in the noise and in rage, too

Finally, look at me and my eyes and my hands

All I have is here, it's my face, it's my scream

Here I am, here I am, here I am

Voilà, voilà

Voilà, voilà

Life is short. What’s the purpose of living? | Buddhist Wisdom

(Buddhism Podcast) Buddhism Explained. Life is short — but what is it really for? This video looks into the quiet question many of us carry: Why are we here, and what gives life meaning? Using simple Buddhist wisdom, it shows how our constant chasing and avoiding can lead to deep restlessness. Instead of trying to fix life, we can learn to be fully present with it [to see it for what it really is and, seeing it, letting go and thereby being liberated from it]. The answer may not be something we find, but something we live.

Farewell to Biden, and good riddance

Trump’s plan to save Hollywood, Biden’s farewell and we say toodle-loo to TikTok

(Jimmy Kimmel Live) Jan. 16, 2025: The air quality is still ungood in Los Angeles amidst the LA Fire, Pres. Genocide Joe Biden delivered his farewell address to the nation from the Oval Office, Fox & Friends took aim at him for sitting on a pillow (hemorrhoid donut), a bunch of celebrities have already started sending their well-wishes as G-Joe moves on...

Trump laid out his plan to save Hollywood with help from Jon "Midnight Cowboy" Voight, Mel "Mad Max" Gibson, Sylvester "Rocky" Stallone, we have been collecting essential items for victims of the fires in our back parking lot and we delivered what we have so far to the hard-hit community of Altadena, northeast Los Angeles. Jimmy talks to the vice chair of the town council Nic Arnzen.

We must surely be learning? (Beatles)

The Beatles "While My Guitar Gently Weeps (2018 Mix)"

There's no comparison to Beatle George Harrison, who wrote and sings this masterpiece, while nearly all the credit for the band's greatness goes to the other two competing with each other, and no one even remembers Pete Best. What about Ringo? Who?

LYRICS: I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping / While my guitar gently weeps / I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping / Still, my guitar gently weeps // I don't know why nobody told you / How to unfold your love / I don't know how someone controlled you / They bought and sold you // I look at the world and I notice it's turning / While my guitar gently weeps / With every mistake, we must surely be learning / Still, my guitar gently weeps / I don't know how you were diverted / You were perverted, too / I don't know how you were inverted / No one alerted you / I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping / While my guitar gently weeps / (I look) Look at you all / Still, my guitar gently weeps / Oh, oh /  Yeah, yeah

We weep for the world -- steeped in ignorance, the root of all harm, giving rise to greed (lust) and aversion (fear), liking and disliking, the Roots of Good and Evil. Who cares if someone is good or evil? That person is going to care when the RESULTS come around. Karma really brings about what we experience, what we are experiencing now. So it is vital to grasp what "karma" means and what it doesn't. The greatest karma meme ever sums it up, a picture of credit card with the slogan: "Karma: It's everywhere you're going to be." (That's based on an old credit card commercial, which if people have never seen it because the successful marketing campaign ended a long time ago, may not get the impact of why it's a clever meme and a vital message/warning. If we knew that everything was going to follow us, none of it unseen or forgotten, we might behave differently, very differently. But we think we're getting away with everything, think there is nothing to come of this (what we do, say, and think). Pink Floyd has a great song about this from the CD Animals called "Sheep."

Mexican Independence Day Eve (live)

Okay, Mexicans we get. But what is a Chicano/a? - It is a blend of American and Mexican.

In the Zocalo of Mexico City, el presidente waves the bandera and cries out, Viva Mexico!

.

Mexicans are romantic Latino/as

Happy Cinco de Mayo (Spanish "5th of May"), an American holiday most celebrants think is the Mexican equivalent of the "4th of July." That day is actually the 16th of September, celebrated on the eve of.

The "Cry from Dolores" (Grito de Dolores) occurred in Dolores ("Pains"), Mexico, on September 16, 1810, when Roman Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang his church bell and gave the call to arms that triggered the Mexican War of Independence [from European colonial forces].

Isn't that right, young Mexicans at Sick NW? 

The Cry of Dolores is most commonly known by the locals as El Grito de Independencia ("The Cry of Independence").

Every year on the eve of Independence Day, the president of Mexico reenacts the cry from the balcony of the National Palace in Mexico City, while ringing the same bell Fr. Hidalgo used in 1810.

During a patriotic speech, the president calls out the names of the fallen heroes who died during the War of Independence and ends the speech by shouting Viva Mexico! ("Long live Mexico!") three times followed by the Mexican National Anthem. More: Cry of Dolores

How shall we celebrate? - Let's eat! We'll have the vegan gluten-free Mexican Buddha Bowl

Real Americans (of the Americas) know Spanish

Looks delicious!

It's good to bear in mind when attempting to learn or speak Spanish that Spanish is NOT the indigenous language of Mexico or the Latin America. Spanish is a colonial European language from Europe's Iberian Peninsula used by Spain to take over, forge an empire, and dominate the "New World."

The language of Mexico, if it had to choose only one, is native Nahuatl (the Uto-Aztecan languages of the Aztecs, in particular the Mexica tribe).

Who is the face of Mexico? It was Frida Kahlo.

To think Spanish is the way to the heart of the culture is like imagining that learning "American" is the way to get to know the US of A. There are many languages the U.S., the tongues of immigrants, with many more dialects and accents.

Fortunately, we have a standardized English so that newscasts from around the country are mutually intelligible. But try speaking New Yorkese in the South, and you're in for a surprise or that stuck up Nor'easter Harvard Square jabber in laid back California and someone will hand you a decongestant (or laxative).

With enough time, these would all divide into unique languages. Originally, the First Nations had their own languages and it's unclear that there was a way for them all to communicate by verbal means. They managed but were not merged into an "empire" as we are today, with England and English on top.
