Update: 5 Things On The 5th (September 2018)

A little behind again with this, as I actually thought about it the day of -- and then proceeded to get slammed at work. That's how life goes sometimes. Anywho, this is my monthly list of 5 interesting things that happened, or 5 things I was able to accomplish in spite of my own busy schedule. When I look back ten years from now, I want to see all of the cool things that happened to me in this period of my life.

  1. I started posting spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment videos of myself playing piano on Instagram! You can follow them here. You don't have to, like, follow me or anything, but it's still something I'm kind of proud of.
  2. On that note, I really got into the hang of posting more J-Pop covers. The catch is that nobody knows where they are yet! They're out on the Internet somewhere (which means they're on SoundCloud) but only one person knows my username (Mikkun). I'm doing that on purpose. I want to sing, but I don't want to over-promote myself and be disappointed when nobody listens to me sing. So I figured I'd just post for nobody anyway! The idea is someday I'll let people in on the secret, but not yet.
  3. Something I *can* let you in on is the comeback of Dvorak -- something I referred to in this blog post. Not a lot of people now know that I was in the middle of writing a book series! And there's still time for you to help, as well!
  4. I went back to Round 1 in Cleveland (Mentor area) and played a TON of Sound Voltex. This is notable because it's the first time in a long time I've been able to go to an arcade and not totally hate everything, after what happened. It's because of that that I was able to really start healing. I know I'm not fully there, but I feel enough to go back to Akiba before it all melts down. (Also, ninja Donald Tsum Tsum. I AM THE STORM.)
  5. I've, like, officially quit caffeine. When it came down to my health, it wasn't even a guess. After years and years of just wanting to NOT exist, and then having a REASON to, I now make decisions for my own well-being. It took a while to get used to, and things aren't perfect, but there's a life I want to create. I can't do that if I'm six feet under for destroying myself with energy drinks and soda. I still drink teas and vitamin drinks, but mostly water, and I'm not ruling out having a soda while out of town (translation: Cheerwine). 
Can't wait until next month. Everything's busy, but it's exciting. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go embrace the day.

Update: 5 Things On The 5th (January 2019)

First month of 2019! And...well, of course when I look at it in retrospect, I'm like "what exactly did I do?" I feel like January just passed me by, but there were things that happened. A lot of it was getting lost in the day to day, and to be honest, I don't want that to be the case. Maybe I should work harder at finding things I'm proud of, and doing those throughout the month. That said: I did go to Ohayocon! I just went on Saturday, and I had a friend go with me so I wasn't scared. But it worked out really well. I was exhausted after and I didn't really sleep LOL but I ran into an artist I hadn't seen in years and got to cosplay and play games. I think I'll be properly ready for Matsuricon -- and anything else -- as long as I can figure out how to sleep on Friday nights! I watched Rent "Live." Yeah, it wasn't really live, who's counting. But I still knew all the words, just like I used to. Guess some things never change.  ...

Update: 2020's End Of Year Review

2011 + 2012 + 2013 + 2014 + 2015 + 2016 + 2017 + 2018 + 2019  Official End Of Year Review -- 2020 Once upon a time, there were five boys and a star. The boys and the star made a promise. “Even if we go our separate ways, we will meet here again.” 1. What did you do in 2020 that you'd never done before?: I know of someone who felt like he was trapped in an eternal winter, not sure if spring would ever come for him. Well, if he were still alive, he'd probably have an entire weeks' worth of soiled underwear, because it has been March for ten months now. It's part of the reason I stopped posting things that I've done every month, because there was nothing to do. But I adapted surprisingly well. While the rest of the world was dealing with not getting haircuts and being trapped, those of us with mental health issues were able to pull out ALL the resources we use on a daily basis and handle it the bes...

Update - Post Vacation

This isn't much of a post -- it's just a reminder that I'm still here. I don't know if it's just a straight-up fear that this is another project I'm going to end up abandoning. I don't think I will. There were several points while on vacation this past week when I wanted to reach for my keyboard. I almost attempted to write a blog post while on vacation, but promptly decided that would take too long. (That and I still need the world's longest nap.) So yeah. I had a lot of introspective thoughts while on vacation. Here's one in particular that I managed to post on Twitter: So I got to thinking tonight about when Jesus sends out the 72...we overlook this a lot because it’s so glamorous to have Jesus with his followers, chillin and teaching them things and what not. But even before he left Jesus was sending peeps out to do stuff in his name. Anywhoozle in Luke 10 he gives specific instructions about this and he said if the people in town do no...
