Patchwork

 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...

 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...

  Foreword Welllllllllll - lookie what we got here, it's another fantasy short story to add to the collection. For those unaware, Declutter is a collection of various short stories, all that have been uploaded to this blog, that I plan to release for free via Amazon Kindle. Main idea is to let myself become familiar with the self-publishing system before launching my full fledge novel. I'm also terrified to put that out in the world but that's a story for another day.  The story for today is The Carnival. This is something that I could easily continue and expand upon for future short stories. I'm unsure if this will exist in the From Dawn to Dusk canon or not. But enough of my ramblings - let's dive into this world together.  The Carnival Nathan McHale let out yet another yawn before rising from the red lazy boy chair that had nearly pulled him back into a deep slumber. Thankfully, the sound of the coffee maker beckoned to Nathan and, like any addict, he simply coul...

  Foreword If you were to ask me what my absolutely favorite game in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise before I started making these reviews, I would've said without a doubt that Sister Location was it. One of the main contributing factors was the story and how direct it was with the narrative. While the fifth installment is still a really great game, do I still hold the belief that it's the best one? Before I dive in, it's time to go over that review rating scale: 10) Big Boi Lovings - A perfect score. Any negatives are insignificant. 9) Marvelous - A nearly flawless piece of media. A few gripes prevent it from being perfect. 8) Recommended - An excellent piece of media that should not be skipped, despite a few complaints. 7) P. Good  - Above average. Some of the problems are a touch painful. 6) Hard Enjoy  - Despite the issues that are present, I want to be a fan of the media - even though it hurts. 5) Aight .- Average. The experience is overall hit or...

  Foreword Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. The next short story in the Declutter collection is here! As a reminder, since it's been a hot minute since I've been able to post anything to this blog, Declutter is my short story collection that I am releasing for free on Patchwork and then later on through Amazon's self-publishing.  The following is a much more... personal story. Most of my short stories are ideas that I have either from day dreaming or night dreaming. This one is inspired by my own struggles with depression and anxiety but eventually changed into a simple conversation between myself and a character - something my lady love does to help herself work through some of her own struggles. It was something I have never tried to do and figured why not give it a shot. The following is that experiment.  A Conversation With Angelica The cold metal of my apartment's front door felt comforting against my forehead. I let my skin remain against the portal to my personal space for...

  Foreword The seventh short shorty for Declutter has arrived! This particular one is an idea that's been floating around my head for quite sometime. Ever since I connected with my online community and was discovering all the different forms of artistic expression we had, I day dreamed about the idea of a group of friends traveling cross country to finally meet and how each one view the world through a slightly different artistic lens. Escape Artist is not that particular story, but the main core idea transformed into what I present to you below. It's also partially a true story, based on how I survived some of the rougher parts of public school by hiding inside the fantastical world of books, video games and anime. Art can be a healthy escape from daily turmoil that we all experience. Emphasis on can, since escape is no substitute for actually addressing the issues that plague society. The importance of art is something I will defend, because that escape enables us the abilit...
