Taking time to smell the roses is a phrase many of us have likely heard more times than we can care to count, throughout all our years of living. The thing is, how many of us have actually done it? I know this is a cliched topic to talk about, but the difference is, rather … More Taking Time to Smell the Roses
Which Do I Prefer? After a stint of doing nothing, barely even going to the store as well, thanks to a COVID lockdown (that is someone in my house testing positive for it), my life has recently picked up. On top of the four families I already work with, I also picked up a fifth … More Busy Life or Slow Life
For many content creators I’m sure, at least a portion of their time revolves around researching trends and ensuring they stay with them, only occasionally drafting away to do their own thing. For me, I don’t really care, I always do my own thing regardless of if it’s trending at the time or not. I … More On Trends and Doing Your Own Thing
They make up every part of our lives from the time we are born until the time we die. Everyday we wake up, we have to chose what we want to with the limited amount of moments we are given each day. Growing up to as recently as now, I know that I haven’t been … More Moments
Someone in my house tested positive Day Three: Same thing as day two as I still wasn’t feeling the best and my natural state is sadly laziness. Unless I have an obligation to someone outside of my house, it’s hard for me to pull myself away from the entertainment that is TV on demand. Like … More Well, It Finally Happened Part II
Someone in my house finally tested positive While I’m not going to say who that person was that tested positive, just know that luckily they are doing better now. Sucked for them for a couple days, but on the plus side, the bulk of their illness occurred over the weekend and they were already working … More Well…It Finally Happened Part I
I’m sure everyone reading this knows how important it is to surround yourself with the right people growing up. The trick is, continuing to surround yourself with those same types of people even as you continue aging, going to college, getting a job and so on.

Aka Remind Me Again Why I Wanted to Grow Up? As a kid, all many want is to grow up and be able to do the things the adults around them do. This includes things such as driving, having their own money, and doing things on their own without having to be driven anywhere or … More Life is Life
Normally I don’t like getting too political as I will admit I don’t understand much about it (as I’ve always struggled with the political side of things beginning in high school and obviously continuing until now), I feel I have to make a statement.

As Much As I’m Sure We Wish It Would Be 2020 has been a rollercoaster for me for oh so much more than the usual reasons. The main thing being, my health.

As I know I’ve mentioned before, I’m Autistic in the fact that I struggled academically and socially. It sucked and I was alone most of the time, lucky to have even one friend. What really sets me apart from other autistics though is that I’m not traditionally smart. Math and science just aren’t my thing. … More Not Like Others Like Me
Even with a few months yet to go, 2020 has been a heck of a year.

I know, I know, the chances that you have heard this before are high…very high. It took many years for me to reach this point, as I always felt like one of the background characters rather than the hero or even the goofy side kick.

Days and the hours which make them up, can be full of their ups and downs and pass by fast or slow. It all depends on what you’re doing and your enjoyment of that task.

To many, escapism simply means getting away from everything in life for a given period. This can range anywhere from a minute to an hour to a day to week/month or even year.

Well, like I brought up in my last blog post, I’m dealing with some scheduling issues as everyone wants to book me.

For years, ever since I became a Star Wars fan, I’ve heard about a movie George Lucas directed years ago called THX 1138 and how it’s referenced several times throughout the Star Wars universe.

While I was getting over a throat infection a couple weeks ago or so, I got completely sucked into a YouTube channel called The King of Random.
