Small personal brag.
I have had my TikTok account since January 2021. In that time I have made 979 posts.
If my math is correct, I will hit 1000 before my 45th birthday.

I went into 2025 with a sour attitude.
Between being lied to for free pictures and finding out a formerly-favorite cosplayer and friend was MAGA, I walked into 2025 with a very low bar.
I will be leaving 2025 with fond memories of the last year and a hope that 2026 is just as amazing, if not better.

Word of advice: don't slide into my DMs insisting that I commission something from you, then say to me that I "must be poor" because I don't want to.
This has now happened three times since the start of November.
If you do it, I will block you.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Fun fact about me and gaming: when I DM, if I hear someone sing the Final Fantasy victory theme, I make the monsters.slightly harder.
Why do I do this? I used to play with a rules lawyer who would sing that theme anytime he proved a DM wrong or used the rules to his advantage.

The existence of KPop Demon Hunters means there is a universe out there where performers from every genre of music take on supernatural beings, and I for one would pay a lot of money to see Elton John or Dolly Parton fight demons with giant swords.

Fun stupid fact:
I was actually able to cross off something on my bucket list this year.
I'll say what it was when I do my annual "Personal Year in Review" next month.

I have 401 days until January 1, 2027.
I am giving myself that long to plan a vacation that i'm going to be taking in 2027.
Naturally, any decision I make will piss someone off, but I need to focus on me with this, and not what others think.

Up through WWE 2K24, the European Championship still has "World Wrestling Federation" written on the title.
It was finally fixed in WWE 2K25.

You know what would be a neat YouTube or podcast series?
There are a ton of videos out there talking about the competitive side of Pokemon, but what about the CASUAL side?
I'm not a competitive player. I'd like to be represented as well.

This is played for laughs, but this is an actual issue that I have.
My self-esteem can be utterly terrible at times, and I have a hard time believing that people think I am actually attractive.

I just realized that between YouTube, BlogTV (remember that?), Ustream (remember that too?), and all of my public social media, I will have been making content online for 20 years as of August 2026.
