"Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." -Vaclav Havel

played Tales of Arise when it first came out and really enjoyed that one!

I have had it for ages, just never got around to playing it - 2025 I finally make a dent in the backlog (have said that before...)

Been playing Tales of Berseria and a bit smitten with Eleanor Hume, haha - really enjoying the game though - Velvet's story has been a fun ride - have a lot left to play too

winter in the midwest is damn depressing.

17 days no contact - pretty wild - used to talk everyday and actually felt like something important. Times change I guess.

Jason Rouleau Lately, music I am learning to play on clarinet and saxophone. Some transcribed by myself others from pre-written music. Will need to upload more recent renditions.

I have a bunch of Final Fantasy clarinet covers on my YouTube channel - feel free to give a follow. www.youtube.com/@Cubs23Rulo

two weeks no contact...not sure how I feel about it. Well, my body seems to think it has been a wise decision - sleeping better, just been a bit bummed

3 straight nights without a prolonged period of time being up in the middle of the night - I may have finally regulated myself. Freeing up my mind from unnecessary thoughts has made a huge difference too.

Making changes before the New Year - first is focusing on what I already have and not what I want to have.

Sometimes things seem bigger than they really are because I blow them up. I still believe they are important but not the end of the world.

Absolute steal on Amazon

Staying silent when you know your words won’t mean a thing to the person you want to hear them is one hell of a hard thing to do.

Missing family dinner and Christmas presents - sick - I swear nothing can just be perfect this year. Everything is a roller coaster

I will never be the type of person to run away from someone or difficult situation - especially when I feel it is important. Learning more and more that not many folks are the same. So much to think about to end 2024, but not afraid to face the future.

needed to do something not work related on lunch, so I recorded Crimson Sunrise from FFXIV: Stormblood

Even though I will get to spend time with friends and family this holiday season; I cannot help but still feel lonely. I have grown used to being alone, but it doesn’t mean I enjoy being so.

Sylphid “Fie” Claussell - going to keep working in the color, but lots of fun today

I can’t help but believe life gives you signs. Was thinking about someone and just being frustrated; when a song came on that I have listened to that reminds me of this someone and how things feel sometimes. It has been a battle lately and it really shouldn’t be.

I really am done holding back. I am laying it all out on the line here on out. Just being honest. Having the difficult conversations. Making the most of the time I have on this planet.

Looking back at 2024, I really have taken a lot more chances than I used to - not sure how they will all play out, but not afraid of the outcome anymore - you can't win until you're not afraid to lose.

I need a bomb to find the treasure behind the wall in the basement at the bank I work at.

Had fun drawing Mio from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 over the weekend. Loving learning to use color. Only took my until I was in my 40s

I swear I am just living in constant deja vu lately. It is crazy.

Trade a luncheon for Legos any day. Best work anniversary gift ever. 15 years (and I got gift cards I am using for a Winter Classic Blackhawks sweater)
