my year is pretty up in the air at this point. I have a birthday vacation scheduled but I probably will cancel/won’t be able to afford it.

Lotta good broadway shows coming to Kansas City on tour.

Going to probably travel to NYC to see more of them, and visit some old friends I haven’t seen in a couple of years.

Road tripping to see my nieces senior costume showcase at her college.

Going to announce a few national roller derby tournaments probably.

Should be an okay year.

Looking at buying a house. Will get my first factory new hunting rifle, not pre owned as before. Over all things are heading in the right direction for me personally.

The release of the Gothic Remake in June. Hope I will be healthy enough to play.

looking forward to? nothing. hoping beyond hope for? everything.

I’m surprised no one is talking about the US midterm elections. I have to hope that we can actually turn this fascism around. God, please let us turn this fascism around…

Feeling happy again and moving forward on a personal level after all the hardship of the last two years! Had a really toxic and draining relationship that ended last summer. Took a few dark months of sorting things out afterwards. Now things slowly start to look brighter. I look forward to summer, a lot of festivals and stuff is planned with friends. I look forward to rebuilding my career.

In terms of state of the world, I hope for a lot, but there are few fixed dates of definitely good things to come. I do look forward to the launch of the Artemis 2 moon mission in April.

I learned long ago that looking forward to things is a recipe for disappointment.

I keep doing it though. So midterm elections.

I’ve been enjoying the new season of Primal.

getting progesteron :3

The Steel Ball Run anime! I decided to read 80% of the manga (after the anime was announced) to save the finale for the anime so I have something to look forward to and the suspense is killing me.

The Madoka Magica movie!

The Steam Frame, as long as the ram shortage doesn’t fuck its price too bad.

• a new job
• more news about the downfall of Trump’s administration
• me making more music (and collabs)
• making and playing on a new Minecraft modded server again
• watching closely to see if the matrix protocol becomes more widely adopted against censorship
• some PC parts becoming cheaper because of China’s more competitive industries (not gonna be ram prices though)
• buying and testing hytale
• broader adoption of Linux, specifically how well different government entities of different countries can establish work processes in it
• sensible AI regulation regarding specifically defamation and identity theft
• more competition in various industries
• maybe some kind of resolve in the Ukraine war?
• new anime series & movies

Here’s some things (sorry for the little bit of orphan crushing machine in the middle)

Hopefully losing my virginity but yeah wish me luck. lol

Winter ending and it not being so cold out so I can enjoy going into the city again.

I’m gonna pursue getting more music in my life this year. I’m gonna find a way to get some nice bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer for my record player. I’m gonna get new accessories for my drum kit and keep pursuing my goal of playing daily. Supposedly I’m getting a groovebox, as soon as the seller ships it, and that’ll give me something to do when I have downtime otherwise. I’m really looking forward to engaging with music more and shit like random YouTube videos less.

Nothing, I’m just grateful for what I already have. If there is something else in my destiny, it is welcome.

Hoping my son ends his break with us.

Making a decision about retirement and hopefully not regretting it.

NASA Artemis II mission. We are doing flyby to the moon. I remember growing up there was much more optimism in the future, hopefully mission to the Moon will bring some of it up

Improving my piano skills. Taking more time for myself. Resuming acupuncture. Riding my motorcycle to work on Tuesdays.

Midterms in November. Please vote democrats. Please!!
