Life Just Keeps Getting MORE Interesting!

As the title dictates...life has gotten more interesting. Reason being, I'm taking care of my parents more. I'm working on small projects for my personal YouTube channel. Which is going well by the way. The stats for the personal channel is about the same as it was before advertising. Which is expected. 

My parents are not doing well both in memory and physically. But they are chugging along, which is good to see. Having said that, I'm doing a lot more around the house which is taking up time. Which helps make time go by so there's another plus. Regarding that I seem to be making it to the gym a day or two a week. 

STILL waiting for approval for a program that helps me find a job. The amswer should be coming next week. So that's another plus.

The gaming channel is als doing about as good as it was prior to advertising. Watch hours for that channel aren't as good, but still chugging away regardless. 

A Lot Of Something...

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. It’s been a GOOD year thus far! Life is quiet and that’s the way I like it. Deciding on if I want to go back to school again or not. There are a few options for school, ALL of which are in the Western New York area. Which is what I’m interested in the most about, regarding picking a school.

That decision came from talking to my counselor. I LOVE to learn and learning about things that has to do with computers. That said, I’m REALLY thrilled about going back to school. The other reason about schooling is everything job related is looking for a bachelor’s degree now not just associates.

Beyond that, YouTube is going GREAT! Up and over 1,000 subscribers on BOTH channels. That said, I stopped advertising on YouTube for the time being. More or less because it was costing MORE to advertise when in reality it wasn’t doing anything for either channels. So that’s unfortunate but unreasonable to now thinking of it. Hmm…if you decide to advertise your channel I’d think about it for sometime.

Life Is...

Hey all! Life is well…AWESOME! People REALLY seem to like the #RideAlong series on my personal channel. Which is GREAT, although it is the SECOND most viewed content on my channel, behind the *NSYNC stuff.

The #gaming channel is doing good too! Everyone seems to like the classic games and Sims 4 videos.

Offline life is STILL GREAT! Community activities are still going on, as the weather is still good! A new counselor makes life vary relaxing and manageable too. Life is also calming down once my family seem to get everything together and figured out.

Another New Week

 

Hey! Hope you are enjoying your day, afternoon, and/or evening wherever you are on planet Earth. Welcome to a new week on planet Earth by the way. Thanks for reading.

 

Life is going well. Been really stress free as of late. The only problem I can seem to figure out is what happened to the eBay account my family had. Somehow, we have no more access to it. So, solve that problem by creating a new account. That’s fine but still can’t figure out what happened to the old account. I don’t plan on selling things on eBay but buying stuff every now and then.

 

Debating about going to a job fair at a local mall. The reason being, is there is only one company I would be happy to work with/for. Regarding that, I still have a few days to decide. Maybe I’ll go anyway seems like a nice time. Beats the last job fair I was at, being outside in the sun. This one is inside in AC. So, there are two pluses.

 

YouTube is alright. My gaming channel seems to be taking off which is nice! I seem to be getting more views form old games which is nice! Hoping that the other games get off the ground sometime. Not holding my breath but will be happy to see when it does take off though.

 

The personal channel seems to be getting stuff done too. Even though I have been having computer issues, the #ridealong from Thursday to Sunday was delayed due to the computer’s age. But once I got it under control it was Sunday when Saturday’s ride along was up. The good part is that no one seemed to mind, me on the other hand that’s a different story. Felt like I let people down when things aren’t uploaded like they should be.

So people are reading my life...

I see quite a few people reading my life, cool! Thank you too! It has been some time since I posted. Sorry about that. Working on YouTube and trying to find a job took me away from the blog. So, what’s going on? I’ve been working on YouTube and trying to find a job.

Regarding the personal channel, it lost three subscribers randomly. Not sure if it was bots but most likely were, or at least that’s what I’m thinking. Makes me happy to think that it was bots. Right forgot to mention my personal channel is at ONE HUNDRED subscribers! I’m happy that people are liking the series #RideAlong where I drive and show off #WNY while I drive. That to me is NOT ONLY awesome but also is something that I look forward to doing everyday now.

Per the gaming channel, that shot up to seventeen subscribers. Beyond awesome for both channels of course, now a must keep that momentum. I’ve noticed that the classic games are getting all the love on my channel, so I think I’ll be focusing on those more then not. That and I like to play them too. Let’s NOT forget that Cities Skylines 2 is coming out in October, so not everything is new. That and I’ve bought it already and I’ll be riding that wave till it crashes. Well, that is true, I couldn’t help but not ignore the game that uses fans input to make a better game, plus Paradox has included the mods that the fans created for Cities Skylines one into #CS2! ALL that added REALLY helped me to make up my decision to buy #CS2.

Personally, everything is alright. A few job opportunities have come and gone. But this one job seems like it’ll be worked out. Just not sure it’ll they tell me officially yes or no. That will excitedly get my foot in the door and hopefully into somewhere in IT within a year or so. Beyond that, my life is quiet or at least it seems like it. Probably isn’t but, from my perspective, DEFEINLITALLY seems quiet. Which is saying something about how my brain works. I tune out life, for really no reason. So, life is a shock when things go wrong…BAD of course, NOT helpful yep, WORRINGSOME totally. That’s my brain though. There’s ALWAYS a shred of real life in the blog. People just have to read till the end to see it.

This week ahead

This week ahead looks to be better then most? Well here’s hoping!

I managed to see Mission Impossible 7. That was good! The other movies too seemed better then number seven. Left me confused by how it ended. But that’s why it’s two parts, thus hoping the story is resolved. 

Beyond the movie and review I’ve been getting to the gym as often as I can, about three to five days a week. During the gym, I pace the workout. Thus I'm gone for a few hours. 

Other then the gym the personal YouTube channel is the better of the two channels. I’m happy that the *NSYNC projects are done. Now I am focusing on life in and around WNY.

Having said that, its quiet a relief that the projects are done. Now looking forward to seeing not just another movie. But also recording myself out and about.

YouTube Life

 Hey, hoping all is well in your part of planet Earth. I’m doing alright. I pulled a muscle well working out. Still getting to the gym, just seems that I’ll be taking longer for the workout to finish. Which is ok because pacing yourself is better then going hard at it. That’s what I got from the pulled muscle, pacing yourself while working out is the best part of the workout.

 

I’m having fun watching stuff on Netflix, Freevee, Plex, and Tubi. All my streaming services are both free and not, I’ll have stuff to review till the end of time. Having said that, I LOVE to review things because it helps my personal channel grow. The new NSYNC posted videos helped grow my vlog channel, but also a partnership with a YouTube channel I came across. A little more on the NSYNC project, the odd part is that the NSYNC project is that the concert of their tour Celebrity is done it just wont upload. However, the rare unreleased songs from over the years that way NSYNC is helping to grow the channel beyond my imagination! So, there’s a plus!

 

I’ve also started a new series on my personal channel called I walk. That’ll deal with obvious walking different areas of WNY. That series will most likely be posting on Wednesdays. That is something to look forward to!

 

The gaming channel seems to be missing the mark, thus hoping new content will help it to grow. But I’m seriously thinking about not doing that channel anymore. I’ll give it a couple months and see what happens. Wondering if I shouldn’t just try posting and seeing what sticks. Mostly likely going to post random stuff and see what sticks.

 

Although while gaming I did figure out that, the add on for Cities Skylines (financial district) ruins a city and makes it go bankrupt. That was an interesting theory to list on the Paradox thread of Cities Skylines! After not investing money into the stock market in the game, the City of Portes rebounded QUITE nicely from under five hundred thousand dollars to three million dollars! But at the same time, that isn’t helping to get trophies for the game. Thus, I’ll be going back and forth from investing to not. Which is fine, I’m only keeping the city around till Cities Skylines 2.

 

Although I did find a fun life hack on YouTube though…More on that at a different time.

 

Yesterday my family and I celebrated my mom’s 80^th birthday, which is why I’m typing this entry out today and not yesterday. That and I just completely forgot…

Ah Life...

Life could be going better, but also could be going worse so... about 50/50. Did an I try video, the post production was the SLOWEST part of the whole ordeal. Reason being, is because of the small mistakes I was making, ended up being BIGGER mistakes! OI. 

Beyond the YouTube blunder everything went well today. The video is up and will premiere tomorrow. Stil having no brain from covid last year, is REALLY getting to me more and more everyday. 

Lets see... what else is going on. I've got a good schedule idea to do what game on what day. Thus, CitiesSkyline Sat, Sims 4 Sun, Mine Craft Mon, Tetris Tues, Watch Dogs Legion Wenes, Thurs amd Fri are still being worked out. Also games ARE subject to change based upon personal schedule and CitiesSkylines 2 release.

Hey! Welcome New Week!

 Been busy just working on YouTube...The personal channel (DavidLife989) and the gaming channel (Gamr4Life989) is all but updated. I'm just diving into more features regarding both channels. Everything seems to be in working order. Checking to make sure everything is where it should be and done, so that both channels are able to get the most out of YouTube and vice versa!

Plus, I'm working on getting AdSense up and running on the blog. That is the goal of today and the week(s) to come. Seems like everything is done on my end and just have to wait for the ALMIGHTY (Google) to do their work.

A Little Hello

Just a daily update. Did more work on my YouTube channel today. Got more views, and some comments which are really helpful towards the algorithm.

Also, completed a two-hour workout and it went great! Which made me come up with a joke… I wonder which workout is harder, the Jim Gaffigan workout or the Dwayne Johnson workout. That said, I did half and half.

Did some...

Got in a workout which was nice.  Started with weights then went to machines, after which cooled down with a walk on the treadmill.  All of which was...great. 

Managed to start the uploading process of a Sims 4 build I did on my PS5. Also, started another build this evening! Which is awesome and don't expect this build to take too long either.

Life otherwise is nice and quiet for the most part.
