Almost hard to believe it’ll be a year next month since I started my journey. Things have settled into a daily rhythm and life is chill and happy. I am content. While still early on in my transition, relatively speaking, the changes inside myself are so worth it. The other night I had a bit of an emotional breakdown while watching a cartoon. Yes, that happens……..you can break down into tears…

Happy November, my friends………I suppose it’s long overdue time for a journey update. I’m gonna ramble a bit here……oh wait……..I already said that. Needless to say, if you’ve followed me on social media for any length of time, you’ve noticed I’ve made some changes in my life – changes I feel are far overdue and were truly necessary for my well-being. Yes, there are those on social media who would…

So it’s been a couple of months since I started my transition journey, and it’s been the best life decision I’ve made in a long time.  It’s something I’ve thought about many times over the course of my life, and this is definitely the right thing for me. People have said only “oh you should get mental help” or “you need therapy”. Guess what…………that did NOTHING for me. Growing up, people told me…

4th of July has lost all meaning

I used to enjoy the 4th of July. Growing up, I rode on the back of the fire trucks, went to the picnic, and watched the fireworks. It was a time that it felt good to be an American. We used to be proud of our heritage and our history. Those days, are sadly over for me, never to return. The recent events of the last few years have really soured me on this holiday and all that it stands for. So…

Who Am I? I Am Me

I am my own person. I know……….many people have said that, so it should be nothing new. I’ve gone through many phases in my life……many experimentations. I’m from the Gen-X crowd, which seems to be the only one that really applies, since that’s when I’m from in the grand timeline of the universe. Through all of the times in my life, I’ve never experimented with anything dangerous or unhealthy to…

Why Do We Continue To Idolize The Past? Time To Look Forward

We are not enlightened. We have not evolved to where we could be – where we really should be. We are clinging to ideals of the past, believing it to be the only way forward, but it’s really not. What happens when those that are shaping the world are gone? What is it that we truly leave behind? A world where the past is only way of thinking going forward, or do we rise up and try to be a better…

So it’s been a while since I posted on here, but it’s been a crazy time……..going through re-learning who I really am, and what I want to do with my life. I’ve figured out that these different personas I’ve been going through aren’t really who I am – it’s just cosplay -a screen for my life, and at this time, I don’t need those anymore. We’ve gone through the worst year and a half imaginable, and…

The Journey Continues – YouTube does have a good community!

So here we are in 2018.  My goodness…..where did 2000 go?  Time seems to move faster as you get older, so right away I will say……live each day as fully as you can, and be thankful you get up the next day, as not everyone is granted that blessing.  Things are never set in stone from day to day – anything can happen, so I’m grateful for every morning I open my eyes to greet the next day.

So what on…

I don’t write as many blog posts as I used to, but I figure this was a good excuse for me to write out something. 2017 has been an exciting year for me on YouTube and Twitch.  I’ve “met” (online) a lot of really interesting and cool people, and have learned quite a bit!  I’m excited for 2018, and have a lot of ideas floating through my head that I just need to put into a sequence of events and…

I got myself bit by the upgrade bug this year, as I was not satisfied with how my computer was running games I wanted to play, so I did what comes naturally……well, in a nerd sense – I built a new computer from the ground up.  Yes…… this is what I built.  Now keep in mind the timeframe here…….this was right near the Ryzen launch, so while I could have jumped on the AMD bandwagon right then, I…

I guess I just don’t get the world these days.  It seems things that used to be commonplace last generation are forgotten relics these days – simple things like manners and common courtesy are strangely absent in the society landscape at this point. I drive from point A to point B, and there will always be some example of humanity driving like a baboon, jerking from lane to lane, cutting off…

Lately, I’ve started up a new series on my channel called “Random Game Reviews”.  I started this by looking for interesting games on Steam for cheap, and then letting people know what I think of them, along with a rating system that has been taking shape. I usually rate them 2 thumbs up, 1 thumb up, mixed, 1 thumb down, or 2 thumbs…

Nintendo Switch-ing off Money Flow??

This week, I heard the news that has the internet all up in an uproar – the discontinuation of the NES Classic (aka NES Mini).  This caught a lot of people unawares and brought about a lot of hate towards the Big N on such a move.  Many people would ask: “What…..Nintendo doesn’t like making money?”  I’ve pondered this question myself quite a bit.  Upon reading some articles, it was said that they…
