Sorry if I feel like I’m down today, but I’ve been having this feeling I need to get off my chest. Sometimes I wonder to myself “am I doing a good enough job here?” Because I look back at everything I’ve done in the past few months, and see a lot happen. Some good, some not so good, more than I really thought I needed. Am I trying too hard, or not hard enough?

It’s just tough living the life I do, with family issues that creep up on me. Between growing up in a house of a half dozen kids, being the second oldest with its own responsibility. To having health problems like arthritis and depression, which are not easy to fix. And having parents who don’t love each other, to the point of getting divorced. I’ve been through a lot before I came here, and I still am from time to time.

Being on Newgrounds has helped me through all these feelings, and I’m glad I could make some friends here who like me with all my problems. I’m also thankful for all the fans I have, which again I didn’t expect to have so many. I still feel like I wanna keep going, but I’m never sure how much harder I need to keep trying. I hope you all understand how I feel.

Have a good Black Friday.

Happy Turkey Day everybody! Just showing a photo of what I’m making for dinner today. Nothing much, just a pot of slow cooked cream corn. And right below is the full plate of food. A classic thanksgiving meal right there, with a few oddities.

So, a random question’s been popped into my head. Bit of a stupid one, but: Say you’re running late for something and you just got out of the shower. You’ve already put on your underwear (briefs, bras, socks, etc.), but you only got time to put on one more thing. Do you put on your shirt or your pants?

Managed to save up enough money today for a new iPad. Not many people know that I make art on them, or that I use ibisPantX. This one’s a slightly newer model than the last one, with 64GB and better power output. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get some good use out of this one, cause my other iPad is close to breaking down.

Today officially marks the 6 month anniversary of my channel. Quite a lot’s happened since then and now. 80+ fans, Level 13 voting power, 40 OCs published (with Isaac being my most popular at 600 views, wow), and over a hundred commissions I’ve gotten (which in hindsight I didn’t need to get that much). I’m not even sure where I’ll be in another six months from now, but I’m thankful for everything that’s been done so far. Also, I’ve opened a Bluesky which I’ll be updating shortly. I wonder what’s next for me?

Welp, it’s snowing up here in PotatoLand. Which means seasonal depression’s gonna kick in. You think this is a sign that it’s about time I slow down and unwind for the holidays?

"Wow! If I had a nickel for every time Trump won vs a woman for President, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?"

In all seriousness, I hope everyone’s feeling okay after today. It’s never easy living in America, especially with people complaining about politics all the time. But that’s just something you grow numb to after a while. We’ve had him four years before, so I think we’ll be fine. Don’t let the hate get to you, have a good night.

I don’t play the game, so I figure I’d ask. During No Nut November, if you have a wet dream, does that count as a loss?

(I dunno man, i’m just trying to take people’s minds of the election results…)

Welp, I placed my vote to decide the fate of the United States. May Tom have mercy on my soul. (This message doesn’t apply to those who live outside of the U.S.)

I didn’t know what to write down today, so I left this as a piece of filler.
