So this is it...

It's the last day of 2023. I'd say where the time go but I feel like that's a cliché. I love cliché just as could as you reading this do. But there’s enough of those ALREADY in the world. All I wanted to say is, thanks for reading the blog, visiting BOTH my channels (David’s Life Gamr4Life989), and helping grow both my channels.

 

It was a GREAT pleasure making things for you and I can’t wait to see what comes in 2024! It DEFINTALY looks up as where I’m sitting right now. BECAUSE I’m planning on going back to school to get my bachelor’s degree in computing. Not sure what degree yet, nor school, but MOST jobs want a bachelor’s degree now instead of an associate for some reason. That REALLY made me want to get another degree. I considered too that I’m halfway there, having my two associate degrees one in networking the other in networking forensics.

 

If that is not enough GREAT news my two channels are QUITE close to getting monetized! NOT sure however if I’ll be able to get the watch hours in time to get monetized before it resets the watch hours but given how things are going with both channels, I’ll TOTALLY be able to do it next year.

 Having said ALL that, let’s take a deeper dive into the channels shall we! Interestingly enough to get to where I am in my YouTube career, I’ve been advertising ALL over YouTube in hopes that NOT ONLY get people to watching but also KEEP them watching. Advertising is the key when doing YouTube, HONESTLY not sure if some/most of the subscribers are actually people or not but it's GREAT that they like my life as I see it. 

I'm Really...

 Life IS good. I managed to get a job at a local business with national ties. While it’s only one week in and the second week coming up, I really have NO IDEA what I am doing. Even as I can see my learning new things, which is awesome.

This job is NOT for me. But I’ll be sticking it out until I hear from the other more than few jobs I’ve applied to. The reason why I applied to a job I don’t like is because it was on a job website, and I didn’t read what the job entails. Beyond that, the skills I don’t have nor can’t seem to grasp even though I was given a quiz and passed said small quiz.

My YouTube channels are going well. The gaming channel is up to 64. Which is INSANE to where it has been at. Although I have noticed that the classic games are bringing in MOST of the new subscribers. Which is cool, I can’t wait to play more classic games.

 

Per the personal channel. I’m doing good with that. The channel has 139 subscribers. Most people seem to like the #RideAlong series the best. That’s awesome as I’m loving sharing my little slice of planet Earth. I see no big projects coming up for the personal channel which is a GREAT relief as I’m not having enough time to create let alone edit a big project right now.

Things Are Coming Along!

            Life is...in my perspective quiet. I have new games to play and old games to revisit. That part is wonderful! The gamer channel is coming along nicely! That channel has gotten up to 45 subscribers. While the personal channel is stuck at 137. I'm expecting both to make somewhat of a jump with in the next month or so, seeing that the new/revisited games are coming onto the gaming channel and the personal channel as the Backstreet Boys Project. Bought a new vehicle, which was also WONDERFUL! 

 

            As you can tell life is going QUITE WELL. I really have no complaints, done buying stuff for myself for the holiday season because of the new vehicle. So, now I am starting to save money again. Which is fine, I am aware that there were some GREAT deals that are still out there just nothing I want nor to need as much. No real plans for now till the end of the year if ANYTHING I would like to get back to the gym at some point.  

Just Realized...

 Hey, sorry about not posting for a while. I also just realized it has been a while. So, what is lifelike? GREAT! Beyond YouTube, life though is a little noisy. 

 

My parents are alright. I'm doing more around the house to help them. They seem to be forgetting more and more every day. That’s partly why I’ve been sticking around the house more than normal, so that I can help them more. Which is fine, I like helping them. It also makes me REALLY APPREICATE the time I’m spending with them as of late. All that said, not really in the mood to do anything other than YouTube, working with people through People Inc.

 

Nice segue waying speaking of YouTube. The channels are GOING WELL! The personal channel is up to 129 Lifers. Which I am officially penning as my fan base’s name for the personal channel. The gaming channel has yet to have a name of its fan base, but that’ll come in time.

 

Also the gaming channel is up to 29 people watching that is MOSTLY do the classic games I’ve been playing, which classic gaming made me stop and think that I’m REALLY not only one of many whom love to play and share classic games, but so much so that I’m enjoying that MORE then the new games that seem to be coming 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.
