An Update

Goo morning readers, viewers and fans. I hope you are all doing well this Monday morning. It has been just over 10 days since my last post on this blog - and while I personally feel an explanation isn't necessary, I'd still like to give one. 

 First and foremost, this blog, along with my fiction writing and YouTube videos, are not my money maker. All the creative things I do, unfortunately, are side gigs don't pay my bills. And being an adult, despite me not acting like, requires me to prioritize the responsibilities I have. I work 5 days a week at a physically demanding job for 9 hours a day. I'm sure you can see how this could leave an individual drained and yearning for the sweet release of laziness. Which, of course, means I only ever get the chance to do YouTube/blog related things whenever I manage to find down time or on the weekends. Unfortunately, I also have to prioritize my mental health, which means I have to make free time that allows me to recover from my daily stresses. I'm trying to be better about being more creative and productive but life... Happens. Things come up that deter you away from any and all motivation. Depressing events that leave you in a recovery period and require you to push off certain things that you'd otherwise be doing. 

I'm grieving. I'm going through the process. On Friday, July 12th, 2019 - I lost my childhood friend - an adorable dog that we named Rosie.


We adopted this cute pup 14 years ago, when I was just 10 years old. For all my life she had been a great friend - one that gave me comfort when I needed it. I have thousands of memories that I can recall and could put here but I'd prefer to keep those to myself. I lost one of my best friends and she will be missed. I'll be grieving her for a little while but hope to resume creative content soon, hopefully within the week. 

Thanks for any and all understanding. And may my best friend never be forgotten and rest peacefully. I love you, Rosie. I will miss you.

Ragdoll Ramblings | April 2025

 You know. I think there needs to be some form of acceptance in all of this.  Life is… difficult. Of course, I'm working towards making it a touch easier but there's always going to be some kind of strife happening, at the very least, in proximity to me. Whether it's the personal storm that swirls in my psyche or my country drop kicking its economy and morals into the nearest trash heap, I fear times are always going to be eventful.  While I'd love to be a machine that runs on spite, sometimes I succumb to the storm. And lately it has been raging but “Heave ho, onwards we row”.  Soooooo to give the tl;dr on the content:  L oveSeat has a few unedited videos but the final few still need to be recorded. I know it's April. Be nice.   RPG Sunday is fully edited and scheduled, which has been great for progress. I'm at the point where I'm streaming and uploading a VOD almost the same day.  Monday Show has no progress Retro Tuesday VODs are unedited but w...

Alien: Romulus Reminds Me Horror is Good (Review)

Foreword I have a very particular taste in horror movies. When I was young and first discovered horror, I became obsessed with it. I may be able to trace that obsession back to video games with what little footage I saw of Resident Evil 4 and how desperately I wanted to play it, despite being far too young to purchase it myself. It could also be a product of the fascination with ghosts and spirits and demons I had. Regardless, I've consumed a fair bit of the horror genre as a whole. I've played numerous games, own several books, and have watched many movies, shows and videos. Perhaps this is why I have a love and hate relationship with horror movies.  I believe the problem, which is an issue for fictional media as a whole, is that horror relies heavily on the unexpected. If you've ever seen John Carpenter's Halloween, you've seen every slasher flick. If you've seen The Exorcist (I haven't. Be nice) you've seen every procession movie. If you have past ex...

Ragdoll Ramblings | Newsletter for 1/1/2025

 Dusk of the First Day 8736 Hour Remain New year, new beginnings - so and so forth. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't also fall into the trap of trying to reinvent myself in some way each year only for it to crash and burn.  To increase my chances of success, really the only thing I'm working on is my discipline in relation my creative work. Surely, I can spare an hour a day writing. Easily I can spare an hour a day recording or editing videos. We'll see how it goes. I mean, I am kinda forcing myself to write even this even though I'm a sleepy baby.  For the tl;dr club that just wants to see what I'm trying to work on or where certain projects stand:  Writing Still working through Season 1 of Ed, Edd n Eddy reviews. All the notes that I need for it have been done for a hot minute. Episode 13 is currently in production. As with the change to the YouTube, I'll probably wait until the whole Season is finished before I start releasing them. If I'm able to...
