New Beginnings


The iPhone alarm went off and Adam opened his eyes and snatched the phone from the nightstand. He stared at the screen and smashed his finger against the orange button, silencing the dreadful annoyance.

He really needed to change the alarm tone to something that encouraged him to wake up in a peaceful mood, rather than a violent one. His vision focused and he noticed a WhatsApp notification from Frenchie.

Frenchie.

His relationship with her was unpredictable to say the least. They had chemistry, and the first night they met had been great. Then, she put him on the side in order to give another guy a chance, only for him to randomly run into her last night. Now she text him:

Just wanted to give you an update on last night

An update? Why would she care. She was clearly stringing him along, but, he didn’t care since he was talking to other girls to. As always, he somewhat enjoyed the little relationship games he found himself in, and this wasn’t the first, or the last he was sure, he’d be a guy on the side. Sometimes you’re number 1, sometimes you’re number 2, but as long as you’re enjoying yourself, it didn’t really matter. Plus, he might as well keep the door open. This dude abandoned her once before, so there was a good chance he'd do so again.

She updated him. Apparently, Hippo was so drunk she forgot most of the night and Frenchie barely managed to get her out of the car. Typical drunk night.

Last night was insane. You’re the last person I expected to see, Adam text.

She responded with laughing emojis.

This is how it is? We planning the next time we see each other, or we just gonna randomly run into each other? Date via accident?

Yea. Can’t plan anything right now. If we see each other, we see each other.

A brief pang of sadness hit Adam but disappeared just as quick.

Alright girl. I had fun last night. Let me know next time you’re not with your boyfriend.

Yes. I’ll let you know.

Adams mind raced, trying to come up with a clever response, but he decided against it. Better to just accept things as they are and go from there. Nothing worse than looking desperate and needy, and more to the point, why did he need to look desperate and needy in the first place. He opened his phone. He had three active WhatsApp conversations with three different girls, two on Hinge and three on Tinder. One of the girls, although way better looking that Frenchie, didn’t have much to offer personality wise. Frenchie was still his number two and for now, until they saw each other again, that’s just how it needed to be.

An Honest Look at DEI

-

This isn’t about whether or not DEI is needed (that’s a whole different post for a whole different day) rather this post is about whether or not DEI in this iteration actually helps minorities in the gaming space. The whole SBI/Gamergate 2 drama made me realize something, and apparently, I've been circling around this realization for quite some time , but I didn't fully realize it until the whole SBI/Gamergate 2 drama kicked off. Since its inception, DEI and SJW's have made it worse for minorities in the creative business. I grew up in the late 90's early 2000's and there was a plethora, and abundance of minority characters everywhere, and no one cared. Every fighting game had women and minorities fighting on equal ground with everyone else. So what if Mario and Zelda rescued the princess? Marle from Chrono Trigger didn't need to be rescued, neither did Ayla. The Androids in DBZ? the women in Naruto? Celes and Tifa in the Final Fantasy games. I could go on and ...

The Osmosis Effect

-

  In boxing, the osmosis effect is when a less experienced or less skilled boxer gets better by training with or competing against a more experienced or more skilled boxer. The better the opposing boxer, the faster the less experienced boxer levels up.  I’ve known about this concept forever, but it can be applied to anything. Writing, fishing, photography; and the most important aspect of the osmosis effect is the more experience person doesn’t even have to instruct the less experienced one. Just being around someone better, seeing how they operate, is enough. Proverbs 27:17: As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another

Zuckerberg Rebrand

Back in 2017, there were rumors Zuckerberg was making a presidential run. Some say there were rumors while others claim he was only 'testing the waters.' I think he was testing the waters, but either way, those rumors went away as fast as they appeared. Lately, clips of Zuckerberg training in combat sports started popping up , and with him being a billionaire who owns Facebook it’s safe to assume he's aware of how popular red pill content and people like Andrew Tate have become. I believe he's "training" in combat sports in an attempt to come across as more relatable with young men and the right wing...or I could be wrong and he's just doing this because he enjoys it. If he's training because he likes it, then more power to him and more people should follow his example.
