Google+ Shut Down - Let's Start Something New

Have you heard Google+ is shut down? Crazy, I know. I've been using Google+ for quite a while now to help with posting my links to blog posts, YouTube videos, and Twitch streams; now I find myself needing other places to post these things. I found that a lot of the viewership on my blog came from posting links to groups on Google+, but instead I've just finished searching for Facebook groups to share my work with. Because Facebook is so usable and widely used by so many people, I'm hoping that I may not only find new places to share things, but also might find new things to look at myself as well as the possibility of making new friends.

With everything that has been going on in the past few months I've really let myself go. I mean in terms of my content production not only of blog posts, but in everything else as well. I haven't done any recordings or streams or posted much of anything really in the last little while. With this new month and with things going so well at home I'm hoping that the end of Winter will signify the start of something new for me. I'm looking to drive new traffic to the site and have much more entertainment for all of you. Sure I keep saying it, but I can feel it coming down the pipeline this time; this first post is the start of it all.

I've decided that something I will be changing with the way that I do things is that I'm going to finish more things before moving on to new ones. What I mean by this is that I have many Age of Wonders videos that I haven't yet posted even though they're from many months ago... I have at least 10 extra games and apps on my phone right now that I haven't yet reviewed before moving on to new games... and worst of all is that I have so many pictures and videos from so long ago that I haven't yet done anything with and now I'm running out of space on my phone to store it all. So with this planned change of pace, the way I make my new content will change as well as the way I do some things around the house with trying to finish more things before starting new ones.

If anybody has any suggestions on more places to post my works of creativity or any other wonderful suggestions to help me out, I would be greatly appreciative of any and all assistance on ways I can improve and get more interest out there. I've got a lot of upcoming plans not only for gaming content but also for spending time with my fam jam which I hope will come up with some wonderful stories for you all in the future.

My Amazing Girl

     There's an amazing girl in my life that I don't talk about enough. I don't have a large group of friends to talk to all the time, so not many people ever REALLY hear about Carley and how she's doing. Currently, we're doing awesome... or so I think. Carley is pretty tired lately, but we're getting quite close to the baby being born. I don't know how she does it really, she keeps on going and cleaning and taking care of the dog and now she has a cute little fish to care for as well. Soon we'll have a baby and thank goodness we're getting help from my mom and her aunt and more people or I don't know how we would handle it.

     Carley is so wonderful. She can be pretty intense sometimes, but how can I not love her? I know she'll never have a problem saying something when anything is bothering her and I certainly know she can defend herself if necessary; no matter whether that's physically or mentally. She is so strong, I can only do my best to support her as much as I can. I don't know anybody else who keeps as clean of a house as my Carley does. Seriously, I actually wouldn't be surprised if she somehow managed to keep everything clean even with the fish, the dog, and the baby in the house while I'm gone and she's on her own at home.

     For those of you who would like to know something interesting about Carley, she's starting to make her own bath bombs. If you're interested in buying some, she's selling them for:

 -- $2 for a small one, or 3 for $5.

-- $3 for a big one, or 2 for $5.

If you're interested, here's a link to her facebook where you can message her for more info:

You're all wonderful as always! ^_^

"Life doesn't happen to you... it happens FOR you."

     I heard this quote by Jim Carrey in a video on Facebook just last night. It was a video of a bunch of things he has said, but this one really got my attention. I've been thinking about it pretty much all night.

     Sometimes I find myself guilty of thinking "Why has this happened to me?" or "What have I done to deserve this?" It's a mindset that promotes the idea that Life is out to get me. The reality of it, is that my life isn't trying to get back at me. Things come and go as life goes on, and it's up to whomever is living that life to either take those experiences that happen and do something with them, or forget about them.

     People like to label some experiences they regret as "mistakes"... but they're still an experience that you have now had. Whether it was in fact a mistake or not, I don't think it's right to forget about; It's something you chose to do. I don't think something can be a mistake if you didn't make the choice to do it. I think these experiences should be taken, remembered, and learned from.

     Now of course there are some experiences in life that some would rather not remember. These are usually the experiences that were not the choice of the life-user, but rather they tend to be the choices of others. Though these are harder to think about, I still think they are a part of a person's story. Every story has good and bad parts to it. In the end, it's the journey that matters. Nobody would have a story without a journey. We're here to work through our journey so that in the end, we have a story to tell about how we got there. After all... isn't that what history is all about?
