  • Something that I believe a lot of people around me misunderstand, is the fact that I hate “people,” but also want to be connected, share moments, create moments, create things with them, and outlive the biggest assholes of the world.

    I hate people who have made life for those they will never meet, worse than ever. I hate those who can’t seem to wrap their heads around the idea that no one wants to be owned in any way. I hate those who didn’t pause to put themselves in someone else’s circumstances and realize the negative effects they can have on them; and ultimately, change their course of action accordingly. I hate those who live their lives for the sake of obtaining more and more money, commodities, wealth, or power over others. The list of reasons goes on, but my time to extend it does not.




  • I have a thing called ADHD that makes it really hard for me to read novels. Hell, any story really. But I got really into the TV show and was excited to see such a great TV production come about. The stories were often enthralling and the twists and turns of the material in the first four seasons were amazing. It was I believe at the beginning of season 5 that I heard that George R. R. Martin hadn’t finished the sixth book yet, and there was concern that it would conflict with the TV show adaptation. Story, characters, and conclusion being the largest concerns. It was very concerning to me that by the time that season 6 was announced, The Winds of Winter was still not close to being done. After early season 6 is where I (and I believe a lot of others,) felt like the TV show was starting to stall out and then started to come down in story, character, and outcomes. Season 7 was a mess and the enjoyment of watching was lackluster. But I and most likely a large amount of other fans, felt like they had spent to much time getting ‘involved’ in the story and characters that we just wanted to see where this thing would land. They should have extended the time between the release and production of each season when it was clear that George R. R. needed time to finish things. Extending the wait time I strongly believe would have been accepted by most of the fans as it would have in theory, allowed for the seasons to not slope downward in the previously mentioned qualities. Even if I had to wait up to two years for each of the next seasons, I had concluded that I would rather that accrue than for them to release worse and worse seasons and episodes because they didn’t have the full story to utilize.

    I was pissed about what they had done to the series. Season 8 was an abomination.

    As the years went on, it became clear to me, that George R. R, Martin was not going to finish the last two books. And honestly… How could he?! The sure amount of backlash that the TV show got when it didn’t stick the landing. I can only imagine that he would rather die a hero for making what he did and not die a villain for what people might think of the last two books of the series.


  • I still hold onto the moment when I saw a crowdfunding video for it back in 2012. I got so excited that I went over to a friend’s house and showed it to him. I remember him not being that excited but did ask how long until it came out. I thought for a moment while I recalled how long it took Blizzard Ent. to prototype, build, fix, and ship (vanilla) WoW. I said to him. “I figure it will be 4 years before they announce a soft or hard release date. So we might hear about it heavily in 2016 as they get ready to release it sometime in 2017. I’d be surprised if they had to wait till 2018.” 💀

    I’ve played Liked Songs on random shuffle and it’s no secret that Spotify messed up their algorithm. As I’ve played it on random and the amount of times I hear the same song in the span of 30 or so songs is 2-3 times. I once looked into it, to see if I had doubles of the same song but from albums/eps/singles and more often than not, it wasn’t the case.

    I also have times when I want to listen to a certain mood or style of music. That’s when my plethora of playlists come in.
