The borders of the madhouse in 2022

Those who hope that something will change in 2022, raise your hand! yeah! There isn’t much, I know. 🙂 The planet has been a madhouse literally for the past two years, and everyone has felt to be in a tight corner. When I say everyone, I mean ordinary citizens, of course. We are faced with a virus that does not infect the rich, and even the rich have become healthier and wealthier thanks to this virus.

I think that in 2022, everyone who feels stuck in a corner will come out of their place and decide to face this madhouse. Of course, the play makers can also expand the corners and boundaries of the madhouse in this sense, and new scenarios can be added end-to-end. This would certainly be a move to be expected for them. So it will be another difficult year for ordinary citizens. A new virus or variant, yeah maybe; food crisis, yeah probably; financial crises yeahh high possibility; more police states, definitelly!

I would like to say that everyone should prepare themselves, but there is not much to prepare. I think you just have to stand up, against everything that can happen. Because I have never given up hope on humanity, I know that these times will pass, even if there are great destructions!

-Are you going to stop giving speeches, Migo?
-Speech?
-I honestly don’t care if the planet looks like madhouse besides what we’ve been through with Zed, who has been causing trouble in the last months!

-It didn’t cause that much trouble, don’t overdo it, WD.

-What! First, the house was invaded by fleas due to him. We even had to throw out my bed because of it. What we experienced during that 15 days was horrible! Then you had him trained because he was an uneducated brat! You paid money to trainer, and you spent my dog food money. Then you said he only has 1/4 Husky gene but this has totally Husky acting. The brat is only 4.5 months old, but he is constantly grumbling, just like the Huskies, don’t you realize! He licks the walls, and finds a place to dig in every park, digging greedily as if he’d come out of Venezuela if you let him. And a complete cannibal eats everything, even though it hasn’t got full teeth yet. A complete mess!

-But Zed talks well about you, WD.

-Hmmm, really? Like what did he say?

-He said that WD may be a boomer but funny.

-THAT BRAT! Are these good words about me? if I get a hold of him! Hey Zed where are you!

Anyway, my dear earthling friends, as WD tries to find Zed, let’s add our traditional wishes to this New Year’s post. WD and I wish to all you healthy (as mind and body), peaceful and happy new year with your loved ones!

By the way, after midnight I will make a toast for Dave. Because 1 January is his birthday! I know the ones who knew and valued him, even if there is no opportunity to toast to him, will commemorate him in their own way. Happy birthday my beloved friend from now; you have never been forgotten and you will never be forgotten!

What will be unsheathed in 2021?

For the new year, we greet you, our earthling friends with another Iron Maiden song traditionally.:)

2020 was a very bad year, right? Everyone cursed the year. It was just a year. A string of numbers. 2020 has been convicted by humanity, that has constantly pointed to someone else or a thing as criminal and has cleared himself of everything for centuries. 2020 will be eternally guilty in human history. Because humanity is not guilty at all! The people who oppress and mock those who say the rottenness of this order, and who support the capitalists, imperialists and who exploit religion of all kinds, are not guilty! Guilty is 2020! The judge has already broken the nib of his pen!

My dear friends, this song was inspired by the R101 Airship, which fell in 1930. An epic song with Bruce Dickenson lyrics and Steve Harris music. For me, why this song of 2021? Because R101 accident was an important accident in terms of aviation history. And in this prepared file, pre and post accident reports can be found. With R101, which was the pride of the United Kingdom, wanted to reach its colonies -like India- with the shortest way at that time. And this Airship, which was 3 times the size of a Boing 727, was used. However, there were so many technical errors and many elephants in the corner in the background of the crash. Following came to my mind when I’ve read all this: “What great greed!”

That is what 2021 means for me. In my view it will be a year in which greed will peak. The bosses will be more greedy, the middle class, which has been rolled over last year, will feel as if it is breathing down; because the greed of the global capitalists has no limits. Things are easier when there are a lot of idiots already supporting them!

And what I want for 2021: I do not want the oppressed to raise their heads just to seek their rights! I wish them to be greedy! I want them to unsheathe and reveal all their feelings, thoughts, desires! Because simply saying “I am claiming my rights” has become something that the capitalists never considered. I wish the working class around the world to be greedy! Because something with the same intensity as the greed of capitalists must appear!

There should no longer be a humanity that you would feel horrified and ashamed of when you look behind you! Humanity should not be a toy in the hands of a handful of rich people! I want to see this flare from 2021! This is my wish and hope for a new year!

…

-Migo?

-Yes.

-I will be greedy too.

-About what WD?

-You know about my meals, my cookies, and the other stuff like more going outside and more joy with lady dogs?

-We should bargain on that.

-What bargain you alien! Oh come on! I had thought after surgery you changed. But nothing changed, I see. No bargain. I am an independent dog. I will do whatever I want! This is my own right! And…

-I forgot to buy beer, I think we should go out.

-Beer, yeas! Lets go Migo!

……….

Migo did not say, but I will say. Happy new year to all my dear beloved friends! And I think he was going to say similar wish but he lost himself to much this planet issues and did not say. Let’s be happy in every moment we caught, while being greedy.;)

For a new year

We say good bye to 2019 and say hi to 2020 with another Iron Maiden song, Blood Brothers; as you know, our traditional new year song is from Iron Maiden always; Up to Irons! 😉

Here it’s lyrics:

And if you’re taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you’d expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again
We’re blood brothers
We’re blood brothers

And as you look all around at the world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we have learned?
Not if you’re taking a look at the war-torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies are burnt
We’re blood brothers
We’re blood brothers

There are times when I feel I’m afraid for the world
There are times I’m ashamed of us all
When you’re floating on all the emotion you feel
And reflecting the good and the bad
Will we ever know what the answer to life really is?
Can you really tell me what life is?
Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you
Could be swept away by fate’s own hand
We’re blood brothers
We’re blood brothers

When you think that we’ve used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we’re living our lives on the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead
We’re blood brothers
We’re blood brothers

…

And yes, I think all we are blood brothers. 2019 is already telling us not to be too hopeful for 2020. From the beginning, this century did not promise much. But perhaps, like the elderls say, “the darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn.” I guess that depends on the intensity of the darkness. So we don’t know how dark it is right now. Lets hope peace on very this day for the new generations of planet earth! They all need this!

While we wait 2020, my all earthling friends, WD and I wish to all you healthy (as mind and body:)), peaceful and happy new year with your loved ones!

Happy New Year!

The soul of 2019

We are in here again! I and WD salute you all our earthling friends! As you can guess today, our traditional new year song is from Iron Maiden again; Up to Irons! 😉

I think this one will be more suitable for the soul of year of 2019. Like in its lyrics:
“Have you ever felt the future is the past, but you dont know how…?
A reflected dream of a captured time, is it really now, is it really happening?”

I think when we live in 2019, we will feel that “all these happened before, and it is happenning again.” Maybe we have read similar things in history. Even if the names change, the events are not too much different. I think humans are not getting smarter years by years. They do make same mistakes. I hope everyone can find own way in the oncoming cloudy future. And while doing this, I am sure that friends and the loved ones will give the strength to you when you need it! Because if there is a hope, this hope will come with accompanying of theirs! Whatever it will come, you still don’t lose our hopes in the dream mirrors. 😉

Like WD. 🙂 I have read his yearly horoscope for 2019 to WD. His sign is Taurus. This was written on his horoscope:
“This year, the dinner events which are open buffet in foreign languages, are not expecting to you. People are in crisis now. Even one olive piece is being calculated. We recommend you diet. It is in your hand to change the food pyramid completely.”

His reaction has been like that: “I do not like open buffets already. My choice is always elegant dinners with my lady dog lover privately. If I would go to open buffet, how I can close to my lover in that crowd!”

As you can see he never loses his hope.:))

By the way between us my earthling friends, that horoscope comment that I have read to WD was from Zaytung. Haha! If he realizes…

-Damn you Migo! So, you did read my horoscope from Zaytung! I knew that something was wrong on it! And you are telling these to my beloved followers, my dear friends! How dare you!

-Calm down WD. It was just a joke. 😎

-I cannot be calm down Migo! Do you know how much I was ruined when I thought that I have lost all invites for open buffets, all good foods! My sorrow is not a joke!

-Okay. Do you want to listen what your real horoscope sign tells?

-NO! I do not want! You can foolish me again!

-I will not do in this time.

-No Migo, you broke my heart!

-Are you sure you don’t want to listen. It is really good things are written. Even it says that a new love could be seen in 2019 for you, a special one.

-Really?

-Yes, really.

-All right, just in this time, you can read. But only this time. I am still angry, but I can forgive you just in this time. It’s not because of that I’m curious about my new love; it is because of I am a dog with very big heart!

-Okay I am reading…

🙂

And, WD and I wish to all you healty (as mind and body:)), peaceful and happy new year with your loved ones!

See you next year 😉

Mutlu Yeni Yıllar! — С новым годом! — Happy New Year!

Another “Updated” year, 2018

Again traditionally, we give our new year message with a song of Iron Maiden like previous years. I do not write its lyric this year. I can just say that, music and lyrics are very good, as always. 😎

And, I am thinking how the year of 2017 passed. I see that one thing came forward prominently:

Update

I realize that I was plenty updated in 2017!

Life on the planet earth has always kept me energetic. In 2017, I was more energetic because I was constantly updated.

“Updating” is not my statement. This is the new name of the “price increase” to almost every price pulls out of the public’s pocket, from the roads to the bridges toll, from the electricity to the milk or to the tomato (in a very wide range) by the government wing generally used this year. The government’s economy authorities does not say “price increase” anymore; instead of “increased” they use “updated.” The word of “increased” almost will be removed from the literature.

I’ve also had the pleasure of updating myself abundantly!

I didn’t miss the opportunity!

For example, when I learned how to live on with a salary increase of up to maximum 8% per year, I have been updated with pleasing.

While the salary was raised up to maximum 8%, I was happier when hearing the 50% or more updating of electricity bill, food prices, transportation expenses or etc at the same time. (according to consumer associations calculations, for example, 51 Turkish liras are the taxes of 100 Turkish liras electricity bill) Because I had been updated again!

When I was in the update mode, I’ve found myself by thinking on how it would be like to bring Tesla to this time and to make free electricity for the public. Time machine is the only way to bring him to this era! If I would be updated so much, maybe I could invent a time machine!

I thought how I might be more up-to-date, while I am more updated. Because, you are so much updated that you are feeling yourself like brand-new beyond time!

For example, due to even straw was imported from abroad countries (and according to news of November, the prices of straw were raised 100% in 3 months), the price of milk of the cows who ate straw has also “increased”; sorry Updated!

But wait a minute! The cows are also imported from Germany, Austria and etc.

I wonder, do they milk the cowIs on the ships while they came; I do not know. Even thinking about it, has updated me.

When the price of raw milk has updated 20 Turkish kurush (about 7 cents), caused to update milk products such as cheese with 40% plus price at markets, updated me more! For example, right now the news said that the updating champion was butter in 2017; January 2017 1kg butter was 25 Turkish liras–December 2017 1 kg same brand butter is 65 Turkish lira.

I am never mentioning the price of gasoline, as long as I started to use public transport more, I realized that I was not considering gasoline money anymore.

But then when “updated” price comes to public transport, I think, the best is bicycle. If it would not be, we will run.

I do not know how can I be updated while I run, but I am certain to find a way!

Next to all of them, it was the bread that disappointed me! I wanted to be updated with it, but it did not. Even last month, a news has fallen to the newspapers: “230 thousand tons of wheat will be imported” (No, Anatolia is not a “wheat silo” of the region anymore, until ten years ago, it was; like eveything, the wheat comes from abroad.) I was so happy when saw that news! I was waiting a “great” update with the new bread prices! But it has not happened! Authorities reduce the weight of the bread instead of the update! So, a lower weight bread was going to be taken with the same price. It was a complete disappointment for me!

By the way,

I am not a selfish extraterrestrial, so I have not forgotten my earthling friends, while I was constantly updated. Of course they are being updated too. But I thought maybe they did not notice this yet, and I did them a favor.

Every new year eve, I buy books as present. But the book prices have also been updated almost 30% in this year. This year I’ve bought “one” book(novel) for two friends; it was expensive because the book was at the updated price. I divided down the middle of the book in two, copied it’s back and face covers via printer. I wrote “Volume One” on the first part, and “Volume Two” on the other. I glued the covers face to both. I gave the first volume (that is actually the first half of the book) to an earthling friend, and the second volume(rest of the book) to the other. I updated them as well and strengthened their friendship by providing them to exchange books with each other. Haha!

-What are you planning to do next year, Migo? Will you give the pages of the book one by one to the people!

-Hmmm, maybe, why not WD? That’s a good idea.

-It’s not a good idea, Migo! You alien, this is not a good idea! I cannot believe I will spend another year with you, Migo! Damn!

-So, don’t we wish “happy new year” for us?

-Let’s just say that! It would bring end your crap at least! Happy New Year, my beloved readers! Also, you see what I am dealing with!

-Happy new year my earthling friends! We know that we will be updated more in 2018. But even if it would be with the updates, the good part is that we still be all together in peace and good health. 😉

Mutlu Yeni Yıllar! — С новым годом! — Happy New Year!

About 2017

Welcome to our traditional new year’s post, my Earthling friends! 🙂 Yes, again we will open the new year with a song from Iron Maiden. Up the Irons! Yahuuuu!

This has been kind of totem for WD and me. We already listen this fabulous band in every day of whole year. But we cannot find a proper time for adding in any post in whole year, except the new year’s eve, because of the full effective news of the world agenda.

-My agenda is always related with lady dogs, beer and good foods. You speak for yourself Migo!

-Ok my agenda, WD.

-You see! You confess!

-Can you let me continue to this post.

-All right, but not for you. I am a sensetive dog and I am thinking my beloved followers not you alien!

And, last year our song from Iron Maiden was “No more lies”. This year our expectations again are very realistic from 2017. This new year is coming like a birth child of 2016. This new born child is not full with happiness, and I am sorry for saying this. But it will excatly same with the song.

Everyone’s waiting for something to happen
Everybody’s waiting for something to see
Lunatics waiting for bigger disasters
Everyone’s waiting for news on TV

Winding lives at the end of the spiral
Waiting dictators with their next big thrill
Everyone’s looking but no one is listening
Everybody wants to be in at the kill

I wait for the signs, they tell me true
I see the signs of the end time

Everyone’s searching but nothing’s revealing
Everyone’s looking for the reason why
Everyone’s hoping for life everafter
Everyone’s looking at death from the sky

Everyone’s nightmares are going to happen
Everybody’s ripping the mask from their eyes
Everyone’s praying but no one’s believing
Everybody’s heroes tell everyone’s lies

I wait for the signs, they tell me true
I see the signs of the end

So I watch and I wait and I pray for an answer
An end to the strife and the world’s misery
But the end never came and we’re digging the graves
And we’re loading the guns for the kill

Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand, future memory of our tragedy?
Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand, future memory of our tragedy?

….

I’d like to write good things about the hopes. But the hope sometimes could bring devistate, if it is build on empty-dreams. This is what the planet we live in, my Earthling friends!

But can you ask me, is there any way out of this bad situation? Yes, of course it is! There is always a way out!

Let me I tell you a joke about it.

To escape from the mental hospital, the mental patients make a plan. According to the plan they have done, if the hospital’s garden walls are high, they will dig down the bottom of the wall, and if the hospital’s garden walls are low, they will run away by jumping over it. They would pick one of them to measure the walls’ height. The patient goes to the garden border and passes back for telling his observations to the others:

“No walls in the garden, friends, we can not escape from here.”

🙂

The humanity is on the same point in here! There are no barriers exactly, but the barriers have found a place for themselves in he brains as if they were in real. In fact, for every subject, a way out can be found.

As the same great commander Hannibal said, “we would find new ways or open new ways!”

This must be the way of mankind, or more precisely for enlightened and awakened human beings, as of this year. Because for both 2017 and others will come, the heights of the non-walls will increase more and more years by years. To not squeeze in front of barriers, not to be squeezed by 1% of the human beings who are always mentioned, before it’s too late.

“We would find new ways, or open new ways!”

This planet is very precious to not to be left to the hands of %1!

-Will you finish the post Migo, the world will opening the first day of the new year, but you still write! In the minutes a reporter from Kiribati will give the news!

-Oh yes, you right!

-Come on Migo!

-And for the enlightened and awakened human beings also all creatures both animals and plants, we wish a healthy and peacefull year!

-To the others?

-Do they deserve any good wishes, WD? 😉

Happy new year! Mutlu yeni yıllar! С новым годом!

It has been a year full of lies, as before
It has been a year full of hopes, as before
It has been a year full of sadness, as before
It has been a year full of happiness, as before

on the name of humanity…

Actually I feel myself lucky because of I came to this planet 🙂 You can’t see this mix in anywhere at the universe except Earth. You can laugh and one minute later you can see a bad thing that hurts. At the most hopeless moment, the human being can find a hope light. Even this light is tiny shape and they have to ability to hold this tiny light. Every thing is lived on the name of surviving like every living creature did, in here.

And I am sure that as an extraterrestrial:)

New year 2016 will be a year full of lies, like this year
It will be a year full of hopes, like this year
It will be a year full of sadness, like this year
It will be a year full of happiness, like this year

on the name of humanity.

We will be waiting every unforseen events, my Earthling friends. We will be angry for every injustice events, and we will try to correct in our ways. We will make jokes for every absurdity and universe will hear us by wishing “we want to laugh”. 🙂

These that human being kept in the hands. These are mankind’s power, there is nothing more…

WD and I wish to you my Earthling friends, a happy and healthy new year!

Happy new year!
Mutlu yeni yıllar!
С новым годом!

See you next year 😉

PS: And if you ask why Iron Maiden has been your choice, some of you know that I love the most this band on this planet. I do not believe the religions’ gods, you know. Religions’ gods seem to me as fantastic hero for me. Maybe worse, because they don’t answer any help calling of human being 🙂 And because there is nothing upper this planet, there is just universe. But I believe there are some gods on this planet. Iron Maiden is god of Heavy Metal like Judas Priest for me. Up the Irons! (Yes I have to say this:) And much the same music there are the some literature gods like Isaac Asimov, Umberto Eco, Aziz Nesin or etc for me. And my music and literature gods always answer my call in everywhere I am:) Thank you all them! Anyway, that’s why I chose 🙂

Santa Claus is on cloud nine

Santa Claus needs rest like many people also, doesn’t he? And, don’t worry about him, he is on cloud nine as you can see;) Happy new year my earthlings friends:)
