Not Dead!
Hey if you remember me and wonder what happened to me, I just got really busy the past several months. I got robbed, became a man of honor, and made irl friends that don't suck. Actually going to meet them now to record a podcast. just wanna say i miss you guys and I'm totally not dead!
Reaching out to other creators
If you have a script, or idea for a video, or short, or series, even a random paragraph you wrote for English class back in third grade that you’re real proud of, (pretty much anything you want to see come to life) I’m interested in working with you to make it happen. I'll do whatever
LPL Baltimore
Last night was absolutely awesome and I felt like I had to come here to say it. First ever Let's Play Live and it was way better than I imagined it being. Met really chill people, AH and FH had a smooth show and of course it was hilarious. It was almost surreal to me. RT has been a major part of my life to this point and I haven't been to any of the other live events, but sitting/ standing about 15 feet away from these people who fill such a large space in my day to day life was definitely such a highlight in my life that I will be going to other events. And it was mind blowing to see all the community around me. I don't know too many people in real life who even care much about RT, as much as I try to convert, but the people I met last night where just as amped and into it as I was and it was cathartic. "Sandwiches" were made, "glass" was broken, The Hippodrome was trashed, and it was without a doubt, the best night ive ever had living in Baltimore.
So I never understood Gus's podcast story about not respecting a company enough for not firing him so he had to quit, until I started working retail. I do everything at the store I work at and unfortunately everyone there loves me. I've broken every single rule short of committing a crime and the store manager lets me get away with it all and I just can't stay there. I don't respect the place enough to continue working there.
Finally getting back into achievements and
I'm down to one last achievement in Minecraft and its the Diamonds achievement. I would totally submit to be betrothed to whomever will hop in a game with me and help me get it
Gears of War 4 Beta
Continually reminding me that I suck at Gears multiplayer
For me, using forums is like flossing. It's a good thing that I should probably do, but I rarely ever make the attempt
For the next two weeks starting tomorrow morning I only work my day job Monday through Thursday, 4am to 12pm (est), so perhaps I'll be a bit more active on the site and on Xbox. I need to be because, socially speaking, I'm dead to the rest of the world.
Way too much time between posts
This past month has been interesting. I posted a video to tumblr and it gained a ton of attention, but really I'm disappointed I didn't post it to my youtube (Which has practically nothing on it and no attention, thanks to the fact that my original account was lost) and just link it. At my day job, I got offered a promotion after breaking just about every rule there,(one of which is filming on the premises which was the focus of the aforementioned video) short of stealing. Also I posted what is now my profile pic to twitter for #MorchMorch a couple weeks back and Meg retweeted it which ended up gaining a bit of attention that I once again squandered. Hopefully I'll be a bit more proficient in April with my time, energy and opportunity. If I'm at all lucky I can recreate the attention with something new. Also, i've made it clear that I'm trying to be in Austin by early July, I'm actively looking for a place, and trying to save money, while attempting to build credit, which oddly enough don't exactly go hand in hand, and the one friend I have in Austin is not currently in Austin so they're not exactly helping me look for a place like they said they were, but I'm gonna make it happen. I've been trying to get to this point for way too long. I'm still slacking with creating content but I'm actively working on stuff and hopefully i can put in some hard work, when i'm not doing overtime at my day job, and make something. If anything, I'd say the most interesting thing about this month is the fact that I haven't let myself get overpowered by my depression. I really feel like I'm in a much better place than I have been for a long time. I haven't been active in the community like I've wanted to be, but I have been on the site a consuming content, and it helps me and motivates me a ton. I'm feeling very confident lately, and hopefully I can keep it up and keep moving forward.
Still bad at life
I'm one of those people that is bad at being an adult. One of my weird attributes is that I never go shopping because anxiety is something I would rather not deal with, and yesterday I went out because I haven't bought new clothes, other than shirts from the RT store, in years. I got to the store when they were having one of those big clearance sales where stuff that's normally 30 bones magically becomes 6 bucks and other price drops of that nature, and I practically walked away with over 1000 dollars worth of goods for under 100 dollars. I'm not great at math but I'm sure I just robbed a store.
