Well, hi everybody, & welcome back to another blog, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger (And happy father's day to you all the fathers out there today in New Zealand), but first, why the hell are my beloved readers who are turning away from my blogs of me mentioning about the war in Gaza between Israel against the Iran backed Hamas forces? I mean, come on (Damn it, this is making me sick, & I mean, this is an outrage! Totally. With many people are in disbelief & in shock, but they're most displeased about the way that I always mention the Gaza war on my blogs as many people who are silly don't appreciate my stuff, well, that is shocking), because of the less views that they have got about that dreadful invasion that is so sad & heartbreaking (And many readers are getting fed up about the Gaza invasion stuff that I always mention on my blogs), especially from Carole's point of view that I'd be able to shed light of (And that is a disgrace for the Middle East, not least a couple thousands of people are pretty filthy, but that one looked a bit mild to me (And what is the reaction of the whole wide world? Well, they're stunned. Stunned silence. But there'll be serious ramifications about the invasion that has still been going on there, stop) since I have been an anti-war activist just like her (And while there is never going to be a ceasefire happening around to fix the solution of releasing all of the remaining innocent hostages that have still being kept in captivity by these foes which are Hamas troops who are armed terrorists since war began on October 7th, 2023 that Israel was under attack (And there's protests everywhere around the world demanding an end to this sickening but unprovoked invasion), but I always play GTA IV everyday that I also always engage in a police shooting/shootout as well as only in the main GTA IV game that I have the ability to activate a police computer like engaging a gang activity such as a drug deal, & a criminal on foot such as a criminal fleeing a crime scene or I should say, a criminal/suspect resisting arrest which reminds me similar to a war like I said before on my previous blogs, but meanwhile that there are calls for the United States to issue a crack down on antisemitism according to US President of Donald Trump following a spate of killings to both Israeli diplomats about the war in Gaza (And I'm absolutely stunned about it, just like Carole does as of today (I mean, that is strange that it is now compared to the start of that awful genocide towards Palestinian people in 2023, & it has been still going since, but news straight out of Indianapolis in the motor racing department as Israeli driver Robert Schwartzman has been handed an shock pole in the Indy 500 (In which he became the first rookie in 42 years since Italian Teo Fabi long ago in 1983, but Schwartzman said after claiming pole that he wants peace by supporting against the war between Israel & the Iran backed Hamas over their invasion as he is willing to seek a decent, calm world in which the death toll during the war has been risen to over 53,000, & injuring over 122,000 which was one of the most heartbreaking tragedies in history, but now the war between Israel & Iran has begun recently with at least 13 casualties & wounded 100 of them as the Iranians launched more than 200 rockets towards Israel (Who launched a wave of strikes targeting different areas of Iran), that is absolutely dreadful, shocking & disgraceful) after Team Penske (Winner of the Indy 500 20 times & the powerhouse racing organisation) got penalized for an illegal modification into the rear crash structures on both of its 3 cars for which has been prohibited (But they had to fire their whole leadership, including team president Tim Cindric (Dad of NASCAR racer Austin), & two others, but there was drama as our own Kiwi Scott McLaughlin crashed his car during qualifying but he walked away unscathed from the impact that he had in which he'll start 10th on the grid in which the race is expecting in front of a sell-out crowd only because the tickets were ever so popular by demand, just before the city hosts game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals between the Indiana Pacers (Who leads the series 2 - 0, & are both wins away from their first NBA finals appearance since 2000, in which when they didn't get the result against the eventual champions the Los Angeles Lakers led by its stars including the late Kobe Bryant, & Shaquille O'Neal) & the New York Knicks just miles away from the city) that resulted grid penalties to both Newgarden & Power for cheating, but it's not the first time that the Penske team had landed in hot water when Newgarden's win had been overturned due to an illegal push to pass usage before the restart in St Pete which handed him, McLaughlin, Newgarden & Power had their championship points docked for their role in the cheating scandal last year, but there has been an update as the defending 3 time IndyCar Series champion from Spain of Alex Palou (AKA the Fernando Alonso of IndyCar) had dominated the rest of the field to win the 200 lap Indy 500 in style in one of the most epic races in history (And Palou becomes the first reigning IndyCar series champion to win the Indianapolis 500 since Dario Franchitti (Who retired in 2013 after serious injuries caused from the crash on the streets of Houston, Texas that ended his career) back in 2012 (And the first Spanish driver in history to win the Indianapolis 500), a year after he became the champion also back in 2011 (Which saw Dario, Tony Kanaan & Scott Dixon's good friend of Dan Wheldon who won in Indy for the 2nd & final time, 5 months before he was involved in a fatal crash (Just like Filipino Jovy Marcelo at Indianapolis way, way back in 1992 (A year after a NASCAR racer of JD McDuffie at Watkins Glen also way, way back in 1991, & 2 years before Ayrton Senna did in 1994 at Imola in Italy as I mentioned a story on my blogs, in a fatal crash where he suffered a basilar skull fracture (And the only way to prevent it from happening is to wear a HANS device (Which had been mandated in Formula One since 2003) in which the head & neck restraint type of stuff, saves many lives as part of the safety features used in motor racing, along with the halo in Formula One (Used since 2018), F2, Super Formula (Where they have been using that motor racing safety type of thing since 2019), & many junior Formula series to name a few (While IndyCar has the aero screen of course which was introduced in 2020), then American Scott Brayton also way, way back in 1996 at the same location, followed by fellow American competitor Jeff Krosnoff in the same year at Toronto, before 3 years later that there was 3 fatal accidents had occurred such as Shingo Tachi in which he was the only Super GT driver to die in a crash as well as Uruguayan Gonzalo Rodriguez first at Laguna Seca in Salinas, California way, way back in 1999, then the famous Canadian racer Greg Moore did the same in Fontana, in the same year, a year before the trio of NASCAR drivers Adam Petty, Kenny Irwin Jr & Tony Roper who took their own lives in an accident way back in 2000 (That was the year before the infamous NASCAR race at the Daytona 500 where Dale Earnhardt (The last NASCAR driver to die in a fatal crash) got killed also way back in 2001 (2 years before Tony Renna lost his life in a testing accident way back in 2003 who was the last to die at Indianapolis in a fatal crash, then 3 years before our own Kiwi Mark 'Didley' Porter during a Tier 2 V8 Supercars race at Bathurst, Australia at the Mount Panorama circuit in 2006 (Same year as Peter Brock did in a Targa West event in WA in Australia), 2 years before Ashley Cooper lost his life in a fatal wreck in Adelaide, Australia during also a 2nd tier V8 Supercars race, then a year later it was Henry Surtees was involved in a fatal accident during a Formula 2 race at Brands Hatch way back in 2009, 2 years prior to Wheldon losing his life in Vegas, 3 years before Jules Bianchi (Who was involved in a wreck in Suzuka 2014 where he had been in a coma until his passing a year later) & Justin Wilson (Who was the last Indycar driver to die) in Pocono both lost their lives back in 2015 (That was 4 years before Anthoine Hubert lost his life in a major fatal wreck during an F2 race near Stavelot in Belgium back in 2019) that took his own life at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada during the season ending race in which motor racing is considered a dangerous sport just like rugby, league & gridiron).
And secondly, that in music related stuff such as I'm starting to love the late British musician, David Bowie (Who passed away back in 2016 due to a terminal illness similar to also the late Nan) because of his decent music, including bangers such as 'Fame' (Which is my fave Bowie song), 'Space Oddity', 'Suffragette City', 'Let's Dance', 'Heroes' & 'Starman' since I always listen to him daily on Brian FM according to the previous blogs that I did, compared to me always listening to Neil Finn & his bands of both Split Enz & Crowded House every day on the same radio station for which has been my personal fave throughout the entire world along with Linkin Park, Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Evanescence, U2, Nickelback, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Shihad, Filter, & others like Lenny Kravitz, Matchbox Twenty, Oasis, the Smashing Pumpkins, Live, Twenty One Pilots, Muse, Coldplay, Weezer, Blink-182, Green Day, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Blur, Limp Bizkit, Stone Temple Pilots, Royal Blood, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Metallica, Queen, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Motley Crue, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Idol, Van Halen, Guns N'Roses, Bush, Tonic, the Verve, Radiohead, No Doubt, System of a Down, Goo Goo Dolls, Manic Street Preachers, Placebo, Moby, Fuel, 3 Doors Down, Stereophonics, Feeder, the Killers, Audioslave, Fall Out Boy, Greta Van Fleet, Imagine Dragons, Måneskin, the Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Papa Roach, Queens of the Stone Age, the Warning, Dave Matthews Band, Garbage, the Cardigans, Lifehouse, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elton John, Toto, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, Simple Minds, Kenny Loggins, INXS, Joe Walsh, the Doobie Brothers, Genesis, Bon Jovi, Living Colour, Depeche Mode, Jane's Addiction, the Black Crowes, Faith No More, Creed, & Pink Floyd (The band that I also listen to daily on Brian FM just like the late Bowie as well as Crowded House & Split Enz), to name a lot (And the list goes on & on).
And thirdly that I'm still saving money to go on my future holiday to Wellington with either Dad or Pops to see Cathey, Paige & Norah, & have a selfie with all 3 of them (I wanted to reach $7k which is the maximum amount for me, 1,000 below the $8k cap that Dad has set, but somehow I'm possibly now on $1,700 on my EFTPOS card, & $700 to $900 range in cash) even if I have my phone that I want for my 34th birthday at least, despite my intentions of pre-ordering a Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge 4 PS4 game so I can give it to Dad since he hasn't played Rugby 25 lately because of the updates being rolled out recently, but I can now cook meals such as Italian pasta dish, an Indian curry, or a Chinese stir fry on my own, even if Pops is not at home (And Dad would always check up on me if Pops is away on a holiday).
And finally, the Oklahoma City Thunder led by its star Canadian Shai 'SGA' Gilgeous-Alexander has finally at last, won an NBA championship this 2024-25 season since moving from Seattle, Washington in 2008-09 after dominating the 7th & deciding game against the Indiana Pacers who had their star man Tyrese Haliburton who left the game through injury which was the game changer, allowing the Thunder to create history as they secured a maiden NBA title, 13 years after they didn't get the result against the Miami Heat in 2011-12 during the finals series, meanwhile in the NHL that the Florida Panthers go back to back therefore continuing their dynasty just like the Springboks where they won back to back Rugby World Cups in 2023 after a dominant display against the Edmonton Oilers in game 6 of the Stanley Cup therefore continuing their trend of the utter dominance of American teams in the NHL since 1993-94, just like Queensland who would reclaim the State of Origin series after their dominant victory over New South Wales in the decider in Sydney in Origin III.
So that is my 617th blog of the year 2025 (MMXXV) & my 41st of this year, viva Ukraine & Palestine.
