On this day in 1985...
A powerful earthquake sent deadly shockwaves through central and southwestern Mexico, September 19, taking more than 5,000 lives and causing widespread destruction. Heaviest devastation was in the capital, Mexico City. The epicenter of the quake was placed 230 miles southwest of the center of Mexico City. The quake measured at a high of 7.8 on the Richter Scale. A second earthquake, lesser in force but still severe at 7.3 on the scale, struck some of the same areas, September 20, that 250 buildings had been destroyed in Mexico City and 50 more had been damaged beyond repair. In the days after the quakes, more buildings collapsed. Rescue efforts concentrated on saving living persons trapped inside the wreckage, and thousands of people helped remove the rubble, using their hands, picks and shovels, and larger equipment where it could be employed safely. Tens of thousands of people were made homeless, and most of them had no choice but to live and sleep in the open.

Swaggart Admits Sin to Congregation - February 1988
Speaking on February 21, before more than 6,000 at his Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jimmy Swaggart admitted an unspecified sin and asked for forgiveness. In 1987, Swaggart denounced another TV evangelist, Jim Bakker, as a "cancer on the body of Christ" after Bakker had been linked to sexual misbehavior. Swaggart had also accused Marvin Gorman---who, like Bakker and Swaggart, was an Assemblies of God minister---of adultery. Gorman later obtained photographs of Swaggart taken by a private detective that placed Swaggart at a motel frequently used by prostitutes. Gorman handed over the evidence to the Assemblies of God. While it was not made public, the evidence was sufficient for Swaggart to admit an indiscretion, and for the local leaders of the church to bar him, February 22, from the pulpit for three months and impose a two-year period of rehabilitation. Swaggart conducted the country's most popular religious broadcast, which brought in donations of $150M a year.
My PS2 Game List
September 16, 2024
Hey y'all, what's going on?
As we enter the final week of the summer season, I'm very happy that summer's going away this Sunday to kick off the first day of fall. Over the weekend, I added some new games to the PS2 emulator. The games I added are Real Pool, R-Type Final, Raiden III and Flipnic. I already played Raiden III and I've beaten it which is the 727th game added to my credit.
Now I know that I don't watch NFL football anymore since 2020, but I really feel that the NFL has dropped the ball on their concussion protocols, and I also feel that the reason for this, is because they treat their players like a bunch of savages. I may get heat for saying this, but it's all true from the way I see it. Their new rules are confusing and the regular season schedule is just too much to bear.
What's going on with the sport of college football? If I could just come up with just one word how I feel about the current state of college football, it's the one word I'll be stuck with, and that word is pathetic. Why I use the word pathetic? It's because of the conference realignments, their now-expanded palyoff system and teams who act as the "favorites" constantly been running up the score. I was a fan of that, but as of this writing, I feel that there's no real competition to the opposing teams to keep the games from reaching its climax.
From everything I said, the sport of college football has died. All of this is all about the money in the hands of the suits of the NCAA, because it's all about the paid athletes over student-athletes and I just find everything wrong it.
Always be yourself, always be you 💚

Introduction
Welcome one and all to my new blog called Inside the Mind of DaNerdiest1. A blog where I post anything and everything that deals with nostalgic pop culture, out of the pages of the world almanacs from 1984 to 1993, top music singles from the 50s to the 2000s, vintage Chicago TV guide schedules, discuss classic gaming, and more.
I welcome all who stop by my blog and see what I posted and the stuff I upload. If you like what you see, please feel free to drop a comment and I'll do my best to reply.
At the end of each entry since I'm struggling with my mental health, I always say "Always be yourself, always be you 💚" and that's what I'll be saying in some blog entries.
Always be yourself, always be you 💚
