So guys, it has been another long, exhausting week and I talked a little bit about it over on the podcast and if you haven't done so already, go check out the podcast. It's anchorfm. Hello Cupcake. And I have kind of made the executive decision that I am going to be

Participant #1:
sorry I lost my train of thought, but that I'm going to be doing podcast specific updates and stuff so that I'm not just resharing the same content over and over everywhere. So there's all that. Anyways, I had a lot of emotional upset this week. Just a lot of ups and downs, and everything has been just making me cry. Stuff that normally doesn't make me cry has just really been getting up under my damn skin. I went to the movies last night and I watched the new Batman, the Batman with Robert Pattinson in it, and just sitting there watching some of the trailers and stuff I found myself tearing up a couple of times. I'm like, what the hell is going on with me? For those of you who have been around for a while, you know that I'm taking five HTP and I'm taking Ashwagandha and stuff like that. But I don't know, maybe I need to up my dose of five HTP or something, but I am just feeling like an emotional breath and I know a lot of it has to do with Bella passing and getting used to Bernard and just all the other stuff going on in my life right now. So yeah, just trying to do the best I can with what I have available to me and

Participant #1:
distract myself with blog and with YouTube and now the new podcast and just random things on the internet. I just recently discovered this website called the Reload Classic.com or something like that. I'll actually put a link to it in the description below. But you can play all these old computer games like Doom and you can play the Organ Trail on there like the original Organ Trail. For those of us who grew up in the 80s and the 90s, you all know about the original Oregon Trail, I played the other night and I got within 5 miles of Fort Wala Walla and freaking died. I was like, damn it. But I started losing like family members and stuff shortly after Soda Springs. That was a bit of nostalgia. I haven't gotten on there to play Doom or anything yet, but Reloadclassics.com, go check them out. I don't have a sponsorship with them or anything like that. It's just something that if you're like old school computer gamer or you just like those old eight bit games that came out on the PC. Check it out. I don't know if you can play it on Mac or Chromebook or whatever because it uses the Dos box emulator but still go check it out. It's reload Classics.com or net again, the link is going to be in the notes down below. So yeah, there's a lot of new movies coming up that I really want to go see and I'm really excited about it but right now my finances are just all over the place. I've actually got no idea how I'm going to pay off some of the debt that I just recently incurred. I need to get new tires for my car and that's a whole new set of debt that I have no idea how I'm going to cover. Just like things are piling up on me right now and I'm trying to remain positive, I'm trying to remain focused and know that things are going to get taken care of. But damn it, I feel drained. I did not sleep with a crap last night because I ride out of my ambient and I had meant to go pick it up yesterday afternoon before going to the movies but I had a friend call me and tell me that they were not going to be going to the movies with me because of some kind of health issue that they were undergoing at the time.

Participant #1:
Yeah, I'm not even going to get into all of that but it just put me in a really bad mood and I just did the whole bucket. I'm going on my own and calling it good because I had been looking forward to this for the last week or so and I didn't want to wait. I could have gone today with some people but I was just like no, I want to go tonight, I want to go do the things that I want to go do and fuck waiting on people and so that's exactly what I did and I actually had fun. Didn't need to put the additional mileage on my car because I realized on top of needing tires I now need an oil change. I thought that I still had like 1000 miles to go and turns out I only have like 20 or 30 miles to go before I need my oil changed which is a whole nother financial aspect that I got to try to figure out how to come up with the money for and that's going to be at the bare minimum, $40 at the maximum $85. It just depends on who's working and what kind of deals Jiffy Lube is having this month. So yeah, it just feels like one ball stick after another and I'm tired of it, I really am. But what do you do? You got to continue moving forward, right? Like I could give up and say screw it off myself or whatever but I'm not depressed in that regard. Like yeah, I'm going through depression but I'm not suicidally depressed and this is just all kind of like that March madness that happens where stuff just piles up and that's exactly what's happening right now. Things are just piling up. But anyways, I'm not going to stand here much longer because I feel like I'm rambling and I'm yawning and just being a very poor host but yeah, I just wanted to give you guys a quick little update about what was going on and to shamelessly plug the podcast and let you know that there's exclusive content over there that I haven't posted anywhere else. I have been neglecting the Tik Tok account and I'm sorry about that. I'm going to try to do better on getting TikTok updated also but I've been updating Instagram and I've even been updating the Twitter account now too so I'm trying to get better about doing all the things but it's me guys, really. So anyways, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, put them in the comment section down below and until next time I will talk to you all later. Thank you so much for tuning in.
