2024 Year Recap

Image
The end of the year is here! I wanted to do a recap of the whole year, just like the monthly recaps. It also lays the groundwork to use a format for next year as well so it doesn’t take as long. So here it is, the yearly recap! 2024 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS CHECKLIST : RESOLUTION I: Don’t die No description with framework to complete. Yeah I uhh, think I did this one. I’m still here. SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE ONLINE WORLD YOUTUBE For the year 2024, I made 10 Videos (across two channels), 2 Song releases, 12 Live streams, and 13 Shorts. Overall I was very quiet on YouTube in terms of new releases. The biggest thing I did on YouTube this year was re-publish numerous old videos in the month of April. I did it because I didn’t want them to be buried anymore, except the old skits, I buried those when going through the old shit. Some were gaming videos that had my face in the thumbnail, but not in the video, so I swapped the thumbnails out with a cleaner one before re-publishing the video. For a re...

November 2024 Recap

  So here we are, we got one more month left in this year (I’m making bingo cards for next year already). I didn’t make a Recap for October, so I’ll cover both October and November at the same time. I just want to state first, I’m in a little bit of a better mental state than my last post as I’ve made some decisions I’m confident with. But let’s start this going from Old to new. Starting in Early October, I started a diet. I wanted to lose about 80 pounds so I can be more healthy. I’ve been overweight my whole life and I’m finally addressing it. My first weigh-in was 283 lbs, and as of Nov 28, I’m at 257 lbs. Although that’s prolly shot up from Thanksgiving. I’m also (attempting) to add more exercise in my life, but it’s getting difficult as I keep straining muscles and getting blisters. Another change I made was starting to eat right. I used to eat over 5000 calories a day, now it’s about 1500 calories a day. Also I’m swapping out Ultra-processed foods with healthy foods like Spin...

September 2024 Summery

  Here we are, nine months down, 3 hellish months left of the year. This was the month I started my first semester of College. I want to start with talking about College because since the first day of College I instantly knew that it wasn’t for me. I want to drop out of College but I feel that window has passed for one big reason. If I drop out I have to forfeit all my financial aid, and I would owe a grand total of $4,792.00. I do not have that amount of money as of now and even more so because I had to quit my job to go to College full time, which I now regret. What I would like to do at this moment is Drop College and go back to work, but because of finances, I can’t right now. It’s left me feeling really upset and depressed because I can’t get myself out when I so desperately want to get out. The whole reason I went to College was from Pressure I felt from teachers, my high school guidance counselor, and my mother (who wanted us all to go to College). Because of College I feel ...

  AUGUST 2024 MONTHLY UPDATE It’s that time of month again, and I am making sure I finish writing before the self forced deadline. I wanted to write some Online and Offline updates in this post as a bit as happened in both. Last month’s update was mainly centered around Offline topics, but this time, Online topics will come first. ONLINE TOPICS I don’t know if you noticed last night, but I had spent a few hours updating all my social media to be consistent with each other; Most notably, the username. Throughout all my Social Medias, we had ‘gamerisboring’, ‘theboringgamer’, ‘ESPILöN’, and ‘blankcanvas_’. I decided to update them all to have the name ‘gamerisboring’. I feel better now that I have a distinct identity across the internet and not three, or four, or even five. I gave this website an update last night. I had always wanted to go for an old look, but I never got to get that look, until today. I feel I’m as close as I can get for now with the ‘Old Web’ look I’ve been going ...
  Monthly Update July 2024 Hey. I haven’t made one of these in a while. I’ve been spending a lot more time in real life than on the internet lately as of late, which is probably for the best in regards to my mental health (which is very poor). This website, it’s like my digital home more than anything. it’s the place i feel the most comfortable at whenever i’m down. it’s like the kitchen table when i have something on my mind, although here, i can actually say it. It’s like a storage place where i can store my files but with the share mode to be where anyone can download and take them for themselves. Lastly, it’s my place to shout out all my feelings into the void, something i wish i could do with somebody in real life. I want to cover myself first, different from how i usually do this. A little over a month ago, I graduated High School. I never know how to properly use positive emotions, so for most of it while i was happy, i was uncertain of the future. i also was sad because all...
  End of Month Summary - May 2024 Hiya. It’s me, again. I am back to write my monthly “what did i do?” piece that I like making each month. This will be the third entry on this series.  So i wanted to write this sooner – i try to write this every 20th day of the month, so 20 may 2024 – but i got sick around the time i was gonna write this, so i was forced to put it on hold. I’m still not fully 100%, but i’m good enough to where i could go to work and do my other obligations. I want to write about the online topics first – because there’s not much to go over – and then life topics as usual. uhh, i don’t have much to show for this month, just like last month. I haven’t made anything for youtube including youtube shorts. I’ve had life get in the way recently – and i’ll talk about that later – and the tank as of right now is empty. I also might have to change the style of content i’m doing as well because while i’m a high school student, i have access to adobe’s suite via my ...
  April 2024 Summary Today is April 24, 2024, and I am 5 days overdue for writing this self-enforced diary entry. I try to make one of these once a month, mainly for self reflection but also to keep track of my goals, life-related or not. As always, online related topics go first, and personal life topics go last. SPACE MAZE GAME REMASTER I’ll be honest, I haven’t even started making it. It’s not because I don’t want to, I do, I just don’t have time to make it, and I’ll cover this more in the Life Topics more. I hope I’ll be able to start making this in the future (Aiming to start in June), but now isn’t the time. MY TOWN WORLD The My Town World turns 10 years old in August, and I plan on retiring it after its tenth birthday. I have my reasons as to why I’m doing this and I will start off with the biggest one: There’s no more room. The world has basically been out of space for years. The My Town World is made on a superflat world, yes, but ever since I moved the world to Java last ...
 February/March 2023 Roundup Another day, another roundup! I wanted to do these monthly “roundups” to summarize what I’ve done in the past month, and what I intend to do over the next month. I’ve never made something like this before, so please forgive any mistakes. Also I will try to make these every month, so if I don’t it likely means one of three things: One, I forgot; Two, I didn’t make it in time; Or three, I decided to stop. FYI, this is mainly a way for me to check in with myself overtime as I will be covering real life topics as well, so keep that in mind if reading anything in this subseries. Starting in February, I started with making a YouTube video for the first time in months. After uploading it, I realized that I still enjoy making videos. Since then, I’ve been making random videos and YouTube Shorts of varying degrees of quality. I feel the worst ones are the shorts of me just shaking a Magic 8 Ball (and sadly they get the most views). Out of the video’s I’m most pr...
