I miss the early 2000s

I woke up today randomly missing the early 2000s. My brain was barely formed back then yet I miss the vibe of living in the year 2007. It was like the core year of the 2000s for me. That or 2004.

 There's just something about how things were that's so massively appealing. The media that was on TV, how young YouTube was, the fashion, the trends, the game consoles. I remember when the DS came into my family and shortly after we had a Nintendo Wii. 

I still remember the night that I tried out my Wii. And now it collects dust, unused in our TV stand in the basement. 

I'm fine with the current era but I just can't help but miss those good ole days. 

It must just be normal for those who were already grown up. It was just another passing decade. But for me, it's like a hometown but within time itself. It's like 2002-2009 is where I'm from and I'm simply just living somewhere else now. Technically, I really am. I moved from my actual hometown in 2013.

I miss the days when I would come home from school and watch PBS Kids on our CRTV. 

Life was so simple. Yet I somewhat enjoy being an adult. I wish I could experience the early 2000s as an adult but still let it have that childhood feel attached to it. I remember when we regularly used VHS tapes and DVDs became more popular. I grew up in the transition from life in the 90s to where we are today. It made for a very interesting childhood. Yet I'm glad I got to live like a 90s kid. Not like today's children where they grow up with a tablet and the unfiltered internet instead of legos, toys, and pencils and paper to play with. 

I'm able to say what happened "Back in my day" as if I'm 80 years old. Things have changed so, so much. 

Even summers in Spain were especially different. I got to see how Spain also changed culturally and socially since the early 2000s. I often miss the carefreeness of being a child. Even though I thoroughly enjoy my independence. 

There's just such a special charm to the early 2000s that I can't really describe without taking the time to think about it more in depth. 

Maybe I'll make a second post to explain it sometime.

Lenyll Otazz - The Catalyst Witch

Image
 This past summer I created a brand new character who eventually became a super important part to my "M-T Verse". I think it's finally time that everyone meets: Lenyll Otazz! What is Lenyll? I decided to make Lenyll Otazz something very special. She's what I like to call 'A Catalyst.' This means that she holds the power to interact with other dimensions, alternate universes, other universes entirely, and visit different timelines or points in time. She is super powerful. But she can still be vulnerable. She's just really hard to kill. Once she gained her Catalyst power she erased every single other instance of her entity from existence on every other timeline and alternate universe. There is only one Lenyll Otazz at least as long as she holds her Catalyst powers. The power she holds is dangerous enough to destroy worlds if she herself isn't careful. Hence the name of her power. She also holds trickster powers which help in making her hard as heck to ki...

I'm Rock-aTired of the Rock-afire

Image
I know this is some heavy news for most of my viewers but I'm considering just unlisting some Rock-afire related videos off my channel.  As I said on my YouTube community posts section: I've never been all about the views and Subscribers when creating YouTube content but I'm starting to think it's a little ridiculous how I'm trapped in some algorithm bullshit. Of course, I'm talking about Rock-afire Explosion content and how it's just plagued view counts on my original content and the type of audience that I get. I gave up making a bunch of Rock-afire Explosion content years ago by now and those videos still get thousands of views in comparison to my newer videos that sometimes can't even break past 20-30 views. The unluckiest videos are forever stuck at 5 views and never get past it.  I still do YouTube for fun but I'm just jealous of my own older content getting more attention than ones that I put WAY more effort into! If I can get 45k views on a v...

My last full summer in Spain - Log 1 - Return to the house of memories.

My Last Full Summer In Spain LOG 1 CHAPTER 1 - Return to the House of Memories Not a single summer in my entire life has gone by where I didn't visit my family in Spain. And eventually, I think I will talk more about those previous summers and how they've all changed 1 by 1 leading up to this one. But I'll leave those stories for future posts. And it will be a soon future as I must explain a lot in order for this summer to really come across as well as I'd like for it to.  But right now, I'm going to start here. Now. Where I currently am.  I graduate from The University of Akron in May of 2026. After that, my life changes from a train on rails to a plane in the sky. I'll be able to pursue my career job of choice, settle with my girlfriend, even marry her down the line, and I can live my life as I want with a degree in Photography. A passion that was a lifetime in the making even though I didn't fully realize it until around 2 years ago.  Once I graduate and ...
