5 Reasons to Love a Gamer
Whether they admit it or not, most people love video games. I know the subject is controversial, but hear me out. They allow us to escape from our reality. Sometimes it just becomes too much, you know? Stress, bills, jobs, quarantine, relationships, and social media flood our minds with constant anxiety and negativity. But video games make all of that float away on fluffy clouds of cotton candy. And you know what’s better than playing video games? Finding someone to play with! Falling in love with someone that has the same interests as you is rare and wonderful, so it’s important to embrace it.

Vaccine Diary (Day 5)
Dear Diary, Finally, I have good news. After all this time of me suffering from the side effects of my covid-19 shot, I have relief from most of them! It took a lot of time, and even more tender love and care from my adoring fiancee and various fluffy animals. I still have a few lingering side effects, but for the most part, I feel good. I wanted to list off the symptoms I still have and one I forgot to mention:

Hometown BBQ
For anyone who doesn't live in the South, let me explain something to you, BBQ can make or break your town! It sounds dramatic, but it's true. Down here, good homemade barbecue is a staple of Southern pride and culture. Ever since the 19th century when the Spanish Conquistadors brought it over to the US, after first discovering it in the Carribean, it became a hit in the Southern US because of the large number of pigs that were available. From there, it just expanded rapidly. To find out more, please check out this article I found:

Vaccine Diary (Day 4)
Dear Diary, It's me again, writing as per usual about my wacky experiences with the first shot of my covid-19 vaccine series. I wanted to start with a disclaimer about this journal because some folks that have read it believe that it's a fake account of symptoms meant to cause fear and discord amongst my fellow humans. Honestly, I don't see a motive behind keeping a detailed report of what is essentially the flu, but not everyone has common sense. I'm here to set the record straight: this is real, I have a vaccine card picture to prove my immunization, I had covid-19 back in February, which I recovered from reasonably well, so I know what I'm talking about. I have experienced some crazy flu symptoms from the shot, even if only moderate ones.

Vaccine Diary (Day 3)
Dear Diary, Today started like any typical day for me. I got home from my 11-7 job at 7:30; I went to the store to get some food for my lunch around 7:45 and was back home by 8:00. I ate my breakfast, drank my usual coffee, took my vitamins. Everything seemed to be fine, but then reality set in pretty heavy for me. One, today was my dad's bday, and he's no longer with us, and two, the shot is STILL kicking my butt up, down, and sideways. The symptoms continue to be a nuisance:

Vaccine Diary (Day 2)
Dear Diary, Here we go again. If you kept up with my posts, this would be the second journal entry on my vaccine adventures. Wow, so much excitement there. Not really. I despise it with a passion. Anyways, it's been about 24 hours, give or take, since my 1st round of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. I'm here to break down my experience so far with it, what is happening, what isn't, etc. So far, here are my first-hand issues with it:

My Slice of Italy
I think it's important to support local businesses, especially right now during a global pandemic. By shopping and eating locally, you help the small companies trying to make ends meet, the mom and dads trying to leave a legacy for their children, the young entrepreneurs trying to make their mark on the world, and above all else, you support the American way of life. Yes, it's more convenient to buy from Walmart or eat at McDonald's, but those companies are rolling in money! They have so much income and lawyers it hurts. On the other hand, Ma Teller and her son Dale only have their sales till at the end of the day, after paying their suppliers, utilities, rent, business license fees, etc. And after all that, have to compete with these gigantic places that take up all the business! What a raw deal. So, whenever my fiancee and I go out somewhere, we try to find a local eatery.

Vaccine Diary (Day 1)
Dear Diary, Beginning April 15th, 2021, today basically, I will be receiving the covid-19 virus vaccination. The shot is provided free of cost, mainly due to me being an essential workerin the disease-ridden field of health care, but also because my place of employment gave me a priority letter. The clinic is set up for Walmart Pharmacy to administer it. And I will have to receive the second shot within 3 weeks of this one. Fingers, toes, and heart crossed on this bad boy.

Wine and Dine (18+ NSFW)
Another Friday night spent. I was sitting on a metal bar stool in my favorite bar Reily’s, surrounded by fresh, delicious men to admire. Life is great. I'm in my most alluring outfit; a ruby red halter top with no bra, stopping just shy of my navel, slim-cut black tights that hug my ass seductively, and my long, ash-blonde hair curled to perfection. Those college boys won't know what hit them. Oh yes, they will, a 38-year-old cougar on the hunt after a bitter divorce. I can do better than Paul, and I will.

Animal Crossing & DepressionTop Story - April 2021
Ever since I was a child, I have been obsessed with video games. It didn’t matter what the genre was; I played a little bit of everything. RPGs, Racing games, horror survival, 2D platforms, you name it, I was dabbling with it at one point or another. The first video game console my siblings and I were introduced to was the NES or Nintendo Entertainment System released on July 15th, 1983. My eldest brother actually had an Atari 2600 before coming into money to buy his first gaming system, which was the NES. By the time he purchased a Turbo Graffix 16, he had donated the previous console to us in the middle 90s.
