2022 Year End Review

Hello everyone!

This has been, probably, the toughest year on record for me.

But I have to stay focused and deliver the year end review I've been accustomed to bring.

Are you ready? Cos here we go...

November - Just Passing Through

 Hey everyone!

It's nearly the end of the year and it has certainly be a challenging one for me, has 2022, first I lost my father then I underwent a significant transformation that I'm hoping will mean I can return to the blog a lot more frequently than I have done this year.

I still have "Off the Scale" to complete, given that I set myself the target of uploading 100 episodes some time ago and have done nothing towards it.

Time and chance happen to us all, but I'm learning that it is what you do with your responses that dictates whether you will make it through them stronger or weaker.

Coming before the end of the year is my annual awards where I'll be shining the light on some of my favourite entertainment as well as picking out my favourite track of the year, as a new feature to it.

Until next time...

And Just Like That...

And just like that, it's October!

What a year this has been for me... easily the most challening one on record, but not without its rewards.

I have been giving a lot of thought to the future of this blog and all the more so since the updates became even more sporadic. I went through a period of considering shutting this blog down, but it would be a shame to discard all of the quality content I've constructed over the years. So, for now, it's going nowhere.

Moving Forward

Hello everyone!

The process of finding momentum does not always come easy, but it should be sought out nonetheless for otherwise if you are prone to depression and/or anxiety, you end up losing sight of the bigger picture. I have had to adjust to life without my dad now for the last couple of months and it's not been easy at all. But I know I have to keep moving forward. It's what he would want for me...

Just a Quick Update...

Hello everyone!

Well, it's been just over a month since my last update and, whilst I haven't been able to do a fraction of what I would have liked to have done by this time of the year. I have had to adjust and adapt to differing expectations now that daddy is, sadly, no longer with me.

I miss him like crazy every day. Some days are easier than others, but what I'm finding the hardest is coping with the triggers that remind me of him...

Naruto? I Can't Take Anymore!

Ha!

What a way to start this quick post!

For the past 20 weeks, I've been trying to watch Naruto from the very beginning and I just... can't... get... into it!

It's just too cheesy, and that awful theme tune? The epitome of cheese!

A show is often defined by its theme, some of which just do not age well. This doesn't.

This is an opinion I can be satisfied with given that I have stuck with it for 20 episodes rather than giving up after one or two.

I tried to like it, I really did, but I don't.

Peace!

All at a Loss

Hello everyone!

This is a sad one for me to have to write this... in the middle of last month, my father went to be with the Lord.

It has hit me really hard and, admittedly, left me all at a loss what to do with myself. I don't know what mornings are like, especially as I find I'm sleeping in until early afternoons at the moment. But I'm trying to give myself the grace to cope with my grief the best way I can.

In the grand scheme of things, at least daddy is out of the way of the harm that this world causes people, that's a big plus, especially when I consider what the world has done to lesser men than my dad.

I'm still gaming, at the moment working my way through Relicta, an intriguing physics-based puzzler that I hope to take a look at in a bit more detail here once I've finished the game. I'm about two-thirds done with it...

I still want to blog so I'll see you soon.
