My what a fantastic MFF. Going into it, I didn't know what to expect. Last year had been so bad that this was going to decide whether I come back to it or not. And despite everything... Son of a bitch, I'm in! Overall, I could not ask for a better con. Main hotel, good people and new beans.

It's important to socialize.

Seeing the night after shenanigans from con is amusing. Me? I was getting comfy and cozy with a certain someone and ended up too comfy and fell asleep. Still, more than 8 hours of sleep.

Nothing like having Danny Don't You Know play in my headphone and seeing the myriad of people on the MFF bridge tie it together

Thankful for my friends and family. Not many people have what I have and have the mental insight to see it. Take breaks and reach out. Especially if you aren't mentally feeling well.

Are we living in an era where numbers don't need to have meaning. The fuck is 67? Use adults know what meaning 69 has. And the growing generation knows what 117 has done to finish the fight. Is this a dumb post about a game franchise? Maybe. But ODST was pretty and I'll die on that hill.

Hey Foss, how do you have good home cooked meals while staying single? Sometimes you have to make time but other times you can get away with a crockpot. Load up your stuff in the morning and by the time you get home, your house will be smelling good with your dinner. 🤤

youtu.be/6uJoN_I9ebQ You are never alone. Reach out to your community. Fight. Live. Always keep that as a reminder cause all it takes is one bad night. One thought to have all you were, are and will ever be, be snuffed out for good. Tu jee veerey my friends.

Tonight I get the good bourbon. It's a time to celebrate.

Feeling like my situation is a monkey's paw. Be careful what you wish for because ya just might get it. Still, I'm not alone and I'm tougher than I look.

Had a lovely weekend with two of my favorite dragons. Now to enjoy the post birthday weekend and get ready for work on Monday.

I take a look at this special day and I have to remind myself that my kids reached out as well as my family and friends reached out. I am truly thankful. Then I take a look at the news. The amount of people that will go hungry. ...I gotta focus on what good I can do and not put too much on me.

Oh hey, those voices are up earlier than usual. Time to do the "healthy" thing and drown myself in work. Also enjoy the spooky day. I will not be online much leading up to and on that day.

Oh yeah? You wanna know what I do on my Sunday nights? I take a look at the compound interest calculator and my budget sheets to see how I am doing for retirement. All it takes is a little to help secure your life.

Friday at last…

God I'm fucking old but... Parents! Talk to your kids. All the time, every step of the way. Even when they are older, talk to them. There are many things you can learn but also many foundational lessons you could hammer in. - Don't be a dick. - Honor your word. - People are important.

Today is my "white girl" day. Apple cider latte, going to shop for decorations, and then exploring around my area. Yas queen let's fucking goooooo!!!

Rest in peace Cooper. You were a good dog and I wish I could have been around more. I can never repay you watching over my kids but I hope you are free from your burdens and able to play with Belle. Heh. She'd put you in your place. But she means well. Also don't go near her food. She'll getcha.

And now there is synthwave lofi. The vibes are immaculate. Forgive me father for I have synthed!

Apple crisp latte with apple fritters. I do not have a problem. This is my pumpkin spice.

There's been a lot going on but things are calming down. And by calming down I mean work called me wanting to travel 6 hours to help fill in. Hey at least my "home" is as settled as it can be for right now.

I put up blackout curtains to sleep in. Why am I waking up at 4 AM? Body, mind, please read the memos.

So I did all this.The house still isn't unpacked but it's going well enough. Family was estatic to see me. I have done a lot of paperwork and fix things to my liking here. Overall I am still really happy with the decision I made and the people who can be here for me but holy f*** am I beat.

Ok brain, I'mma need you to not give me realistic nightmares ok? ok.

Megaplex 2025: Yeah I'm planning on 2026. Now to... - Pack a truck to move a 3 bedroom house by myself. - Drive to make it to the apartment complex in time to sign for the townhouse. - Unpack all my stuff to have the truck turned in ASAP. - Head out on a 9 hour drive to see family for birthday.

I'm betting on the Right here Right now To hell with all this Some day Some how I've waited long enough I've waited long enough (Don't need a miracle) Guess what ear worm entered MY brain? youtu.be/9Cb872pCbMs

I guess you guys have been feeling me not as active. I post on socials to maintain a presence that I am alive. But I have been getting a lot of DMs just poking at me and wishing me well. It's heartwarming knowing that even as kinky as we all are, it's more than just that. I appreciate you all. (1/2)

Things are in motion. I am going to be free. I will be moving. I will be alive!

It's days like today where I am celebrating my son's birthday that I am fortunate enough to give them the life I could never dream of. I feel very happy and accomplished as a father that I can do this for them.

Just a few more months and I won't have to listen to machine gun fire at 2:30 in the morning.

This is where the maws live. Come get chu one!

Also I am late to the party and the latest patch to Oblivion is to make the game shittier and prevent you from playing your save... What's the end goal here?

I know this is grade A news but... I am sleepy. That is all.

I am fine. The past few days, my mind has not been the most friendly. Lotta dark thoughts. Sleep, not the best leading to a dream where my home is broken in to and I am being framed by law enforcement as enemy of the country. If I seem off, just leave me be. I'm talking to people. I'm fine.

Last night I remembered a recommendation of "I think I like you" and "Angel in the Forest". Welp I am mostly caught up with the first and last night started the second. Fuck I am in for a journey aren't I? m.webtoons.com/en/canvas/th...

My friend from childhood invited me out and honestly it was a good time. Talked about a lot and got into real deep conversations. My cup runneth over and I'm drunk off vibes. Let this be your notice to reach out to your friend you enjoy but don't talk to.

Another banger but for the mind. I feel we always wonder about missed connections. We can't change the past but would you take the leap today for that what if? youtu.be/5RAvHwfhTAQ

Give me time to prove To prove I want the rest of your Prelude Call this a prelude To a lifetime of years The morning drive hits it off strong with Dismantle. Repair. by Anberlin. Definitely gonna kick it off with it on the drive back home.

Drive time playlist is on Fade In / Fade Out by NOTHING MORE plays Emotional gut punch received Still belted out the song through the tears I'm fine. It's just the lyrics hit me on a personal level and I may have been bottling up some emotions.

Surprise night tonight. Hopped on VRchat and was greeted to an old familiar face. Always good to catch up again. Although some singing will have to be in our future. May have less sleep for tomorrow but it is all worth it.

Packed for my trip to NY/NJ. If you see a dark cloud, it's probably me eating some good pizza.

Me 1: Dude you have a lot of pillows and plushies in the bed. Me 2: Yeah well I like being surrounded by comfy things. Me 1: ...You think you're not trying to tell yourself something? Me 2: *glares* Me 1: Riiiiiight. After 9 thing. Can we think on this later? Me 2: Niiiiiiiight~

Fuuuuuuuuck mango chicken curry slaaaaaaaps. It's been far too long my friend. Also I am motivated by food. Sweeter the better.

I swear I am learning that after 9pm I shouldn't be thinking/talking about anything serious.

Brooooo. Seeing average Americans that have debt with no plan yet no stress is baffling to me. How are you going to walk around with 40-100k in debt?? Shoot, 2 women said they would marry men who would pay that off!! You all wonder why I am single geeze!

Welp, back on my sets again. Took a break to go to Anthrocon but now that I have some free time, I should be working it. Every day is a new day to get better so I thank my lucky stars to show up and show what I am made of.

Overall AC thoughts. Mission accomplished. Saw people I wanted to see (except for 3 people), did fun stuff, saw people I wasn't expecting to see. There was some discussions that needed to happen but overall it is only going to make us stronger. Now to only pace myself better from overstimulation.

Nature said let your flags fly. We aren't done.

How do you know you're a good man? Because I stopped myself before I did something I could never take back. How do you know they will be raised better? Because I'm still here to guide them around mistakes I would have made.

Felt like I did nothing today even though I vacuumed, did laundry and closed out a couple of orders for work. Didn't help that I felt sick the entire day. Let's see if I can roll into work tomorrow.
