Good News: I’m Busy

I've been so busy lately. But then, who isn't these days, right? I haven't been updating this blog. I haven't been updating my writing sites. I haven't been playing my guitar. I've just been very busy with... *drumroll* ...work. I just thought this image in Petra Gurin's MV was lovely. For Obsydia's one-year anniversary. Yep, …

An Embarrassingly Horrid Story and a Song

I used to have a writer friend who only wrote vignettes. I was a novelist and she wrote these really short little glimpses of life. I thought it was interesting. She was interesting. She never understood how someone wrote an entire book with all these things happening, all these characters interacting, and a plot with …

200th Post is a Poem – “Poetry to the Third”

This photo makes me laugh - don't know why.(Photo by Hyoung Chang/The Denver Post via Getty Images) I posted a blog the other day on some conspiracy theories like flat earth, things my crazy family wholeheartedly believe, and cultish behavior with their Trumpism. I got some extremist and weird comments. I have to "approve" my …

The Biggest Heart of Gold – Millie Parfait of Niji EN (she also has nice robes)

I'll be honest, there is a reason I joined the membership of Millie Parfait first. She's just so darn... adorkably sweet. This will be chock-full of praise and adoration. If you prefer something more negative, I am sure I will get back to my negative and depressed ways later. For now, I'm just going to …

The Importance of Characters in Life – Part II: a.k.a. Niji EN Rave

I have been writing on popular YouTube content since around August of 2020 (maybe April?). I watch some content creators (my favorite Chris O'Neill of OneyPlays) and have stated since the beginning that I think many content creators who stream are the new variety shows of our age. I'd also like to add, they are …

My Strange Life and What…?

I've worked the 9-5 routine for a long time. I've worked in retail, sales, delivery, customer service and healthcare. When I lost my job last year, it really made me reconsider a lot of things.. and cry a bit. And then, the rent went from $950 to $1425 the same month; I cried a bit …

The Importance of Characters in Life – Part I

OMG, it grew!!! Do you ever watch a show or entertainer and smile? Have you loved a character so much you'd pretty much watch them stare at grass grow? (I have, and it was an hour of amazing content.) There is just something about a "character" and that portrayal of that character that draws us …

Freedom For All? Anti-Trans Bills are Making the Rounds

I live in a country that has its reputation set by the belief there is freedom for "all" here. Christianity and theocracy has been an odious creature that has continuously been creeping around our freedom and trying to take it away from those who do not follow their tenets that should have remained in their …

Ikanaide – and My Poem, Often

I am a romantic at heart. I've been a romantic for a long time. Most songwriters, poets and writers are romantic. We pull from deep within our soul. I was coordinating and writing my third poetry book, Poetry to the Third. I hope to have it finished by Christmas. It will be very heartfelt about …

Luxiem, Noctyx, and English-speaking Male V-Tubers – Oh My!

I've always been more into the gals than the guys but guys are making some big waves on the V-tubing scene. I'm repeating myself here but they're a... https://youtu.be/3i_TLQsaAgU (Yeah, Finana's original cover is also making waves. You can't listen to this song just once, am I right? Let's push this over 1M views.) Nijisanji …
