On Blogging Life

  • March 16, 2016March 16, 2016
  • by Razakius

In the past month, I have gotten into a place where I am contemplating a lot of things in my life. I will be honest, I have not been in a good place. In this reflection I have been asking who am I, what am  I doing, am I doing what I love, am I around those I love, how am I using my time, and many more really core questions about how am I living my life. I am not really going to talk about the personal life reflections as much in this post. Instead,  I want to discuss the reflections I have had in regards to this blog, to my youtube channel, and to a few other things that seems somehow related. Of note… this post was originally intended as a single post. I have since decided to split it into three to be released on subsequent days just because I got all wordy.

First the blog… Somehow every 12 to 18 months, I need to remind myself that this thing is here. I always like the idea of the blog, but I often forget about it. And I do recognize that this blog is not well traveled, I am fine with that for most part. I think the height of readership of this blog was when it was far more focused because I was dedicated into one MMO and I was always talking about travels in that MMO. And it makes sense that people would read along to a single topic like that. Since my leaving the MMO scene, the blog too has sort of devolved into a what’s going on in my life and that has both made it uneven for reading and uneven for writing (as I don’t always have stuff to talk publicly about).  Theoretically, I could possibly return to a more themed blog to go along with my youtube channel, and honestly this may be worth a thought if I play a lot of Minecraft for instance, I usually have a lot of thoughts happening on Minecraft, and while a lot of that translates into the videos, there are some thoughts that I don’t express in youtube largely because there isn’t enough time to have more deep thoughts there. Still, I do like that this blog encapsulates more than one minor part of my life. I like that I can come on one day and put up some random piece of poetry that I wrote, or thoughts on Nintendo (which I will NEVER do a Nintendo youtube series unfortunately given how they deal with monetization).

I can’t help but feel like I am definitely failing in not talking about stuff that does correlate to my Youtube life however. For one, there is  a lot of stuff that I think about and even talk about in YouTube videos that probably shouldn’t be talked about there. For instance, more detailed explanations as to why episodes haven’t been happening, technical issues, thoughts I have on the videos going forward and so forth. I like being open and honest about such things but I do think that they sometimes detract from videos. This blog offers a nice outlet for these thoughts without dragging down a video in doing so.

So for this site going forward, I think I want to set a goal for myself, and I want to be careful with goals because I won’t always be successful. But I want to get at least 1 post a month on this site where I talk about whatever. And I want to have at least 1 post every 3 months that somehow pertains to my youtube channel. Whether it is talking about some random fun shit that happened off camera, talking about the decision to LP a game, or some technical issues. I feel like these goals are extremely low and thus, attainable.

The Belt

Great sins I must have made
For the beatings to be paid
My warden most divine
Encases me in solitary
But the punishment fit not the crime
A father’s abuse I need not see
Yet Jesus loves me this I know…
for the bible tells me so.

Where have I gone?
Where have I been?
How do I change just who that I am?
How do I find the one that I love?
I don’t believe God has left me alone.
Yet here I do sit, stranded alone at home.

Novel Writing Month

  • November 17, 2012
  • by Razakius

One of the guys who works with me is another wannabe writer just like myself. He introduced to me the concept of Novel Writing Month which is every November. The idea of it is to write a novel start to finish in the month of November. I gotta say, what a freaking terrible idea. Ok so maybe not that terrible. There are a few really good reasons why this is good, but there are a lot of reasons why it is a bad idea. Read more “Novel Writing Month” →

Writing Update #2

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated about my writing. I’ve been failing a little more at it. Last week I started avoiding it, and this week work and play has gotten in the way. All the while I have found blocks in and out. Read more “Writing Update #2” →

It has been nearly a week since I started my unofficial second job of writing. It has definitely had its ups and downs, however in the end I think it has gone extraordinarily well. Read more “A Week of New Work” →

A Second Job?

  • February 5, 2012
  • by Razakius

I was watching a rerun of the 2 Broke Girls pilot last night on TV. Overall, the show is kind of meh, but in the show they have a few common themes to where I am in life right now. They are poor and they are trying to start their own business. Well at one point in the show one of the girls says to the other that they can start their business in about a year if they both have two jobs and they start saving. What I heard from this is… should I get a second job? Read more “A Second Job?” →

    I was playing a little bit of Ultima Online over the past few weeks. I downloaded and started playing on a free shard that tried to stick to the olden days of UO, meaning they had a lot of PvP.
