Howdy all,
I’m in the process of setting up a online store and selling off some of our music and video library.
I’m going to be stepping back and shelving the news for now. It’s just really not good for my mental health. I am deeply concerned about the direction things are going in, but I need to take a break.
I do want to use the website to focus on things that are relevant to living a happy and productive life while navigating through the current insanity.

Most people are not okay
But they’re taking their siestas in the sun
Got some ideas on the way it should be
But most of ’em just carrying on

Going back to when I wrote this post, I was having a pretty rough time for a long time. I tried to set the site up, I guess as a way to be productive and work through things but it all sort of fizzled out. Things have brightened up over the last couple of months. Don’t need the meds anymore at least.

To put it in perspective though – While I went through my own little personal hell, so many other people have and had so much more to deal with than I did, it’s pretty selfish to consider my problems as big, they’re not.

Right now, the following is pretty obvious but in the future this will get buried so I’m just giving some background.

In July, 2025 I was having issues with the site, performance wise it sucked and I was generally unhappy with it as it was so I nuked it and started off fresh. I kept a copy of my old posts and will gradually be bringing them back. I had used a page builder to set it up but that put the posts in a format that is difficult to add back in so I’m having to do them by hand. I have 40 something posts from back then and it’s going to take awhile. Looking at it now, it’s a good thing I wasn’t very motivated over the last year and a half. I couldn’t imagine having to redo a couple hundred or more.

I will be keeping the original content in the posts but when I can I’ll try to add to them, some were pretty bare.
