I Have to Do This!

 I was thinking about this blog and how it's basically a YouTube channel without video. Blogs can have video, and pictures. But it's a bit different from the content on video sites. 


Maybe blogging is more intimate, maybe the words are an added extra layer that YouTube videos don't have. Though, you can type words there, too. In the comments section. But be honest, most viewers don't read the comment section because the majority of that site is for video. 


This site can also be where I tie the YouTube stuff all together. The Horror channel, my random stuff channel (that I haven't done anything for as of yet -- but will be trying something out soon) and anything else that is going on. 


The most important thing is to have fun. Be creative. And hopefully, God willing, there will be people who dig what's happening and come along for the ride. 


Let's see. 


I always said before: if I could help someone with my art then it's all worth it. Just like when I watch my favorite YT channels and blog sites and get swept away. Away from media that has perhaps become a bit too toxic as of late. Whether it be the constant barrage of news looking for those extra clicks with their sensationalized stories, or media that tries to make you think something with underlying themes. 


My favorite channels have really saved me many times.


I'm not about politics and anxiety inducing news articles. 


Now, there are tasteful ways of getting a point across through art, but I don't want my content to be too much about those things. I want it to be an escape. And if I ever did something with news, I would take as much of a neutral stance as possible. 


Today's media seems to divide instead of bringing people together. I want everyone to come along. 


I noticed today it's been almost a month since my last post. And when I post stuff its lately been some meager attempt to drum up energy with a promise to myself of what I plan to do. Then nothing. I lost myself. And that's bad. 


But I have plans and one of them isn't to give up. Let's see what happens. 


I am not a person who likes to talk about himself. It's hard to write on a site like this without feeling as though I'm being vain. I've had moments where I overcome this, but the time away doesn't help and I lose that frame of mind. If that makes sense. 


Well, let's see if this post is simply coming up for air before I go under again for another long amount of time. I hope it isn't.

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
