Where has our Country Gone
It seems that everyone these days has a voice on I.C.E. Agents. As they should, for if they did not than where would we start. Although we need to stop comparing to the past and focus on what is going on now. Which is now in our country, the Epstein files are still unrealesed, an unlawful agency has sprung up with deranged and unhinged orders, we face every day being told who we shouldn't trust, where we shouldn't go, and how "those people are doing horrible things". I wrote on this once before and I am going to write on it again. Trump and his party are not for the American people, government or way of life. I cannot personally say why he went for presidency. All I know is I have been watching our country fall further down than what was promised to the American people. If there is one thing that I have faith in is that justice will prevail as it always has in the past. But for that to happen we need to look ahead and see how our Bill of Rights protects us. As always do your due research, but our first Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." I.C.E. Agents are told and given full authority to go after people of color, and many of the first nations have responded in kind with letters to their people reminding them to carry both forms of ID. Yet we have peaceful protestors exercising that full right and getting gunned down, maced, their vehicles entered unlawfully. Amendment VI also gets violated by I.C.E Agents. Amendment VI : "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." I have heard no place or mention of any trials of those accused of not being US citizens, only either being murdered in front of multiple witnesses, with the murderer not having any kind of recourse for his actions where there would be public showing of the trial if one of the "violent", and I use qoutations as in every piece of evidence these protesters are not violent, but rightfully upset with what is happening in their country and exercising every right of their's given to them by our Consition and Bill of Rights but are rather peaceful, protestors had shot and killed any one of the I.C.E Agents. There are no trials being held on either side, as one is following the laws and rights they have been given, and the other are "Just following orders". To the ones that are "Just following Orders" understand that even in the past those that were also "just following orders" were brought to justice and their crimes and sins brought to light and atoned for. There will be justice and it will come when the time is right. For now we still have to keep protesting, voicing ourselves, and making sure to keep recording. Record everything, as the story will always try and be twisted around from the truth. I call an action to every one to keep doing what is right and to not let I.C.E take up residence near you and if they do to know and be fully aware of your rights. History has never forgotten both sides as one way or another everything comes to life. I have been watching as someone who has had a fondness for history and as someone who wants to leave something better for the next generation. We all sided with the resistance no matter what form of fiction it was portrayed in. We have to resist, rebel, and not comply. We have to do so peacefully as we have been doing, and thankfully continue recording. When multiple heads of the military have all made public statements that the military's duty is to protect our nation from threats both foreign and domestic. Right now our threat is domestic and it comes under the disguise as someone who has shown constantly that they are willing to divide the nation to further their own agenda whatever it may be. I will continue to write and share whatever information I find so those that have been wrongfully silenced will not have had their voices taken in vain. We owe it to everyone single one of us to raise our voice at what is going on in our country and to strive to do and be better. We cannot heal nor go forward until we are able to face ourselves as Americans and say, "I will not stand for this anymore".

Here Again
I know I have been teasing about coming back to content creation and just before, I either get sucked into work or life gets the best of me. 2025 was quite a year and I feel that resonates with everyone. At the begining of the year I got a new vehicle only to lose it about halfway through the year due to an accident. Thankfully no one was injured, and the worst damage done was to my vehicle and my wallet. But I also got a promotion at work, and although it has come with it's challenges I am still powering through it. I also recently lost my mother towards the end of the year and dealt with the emotions that come along with that. So although 2025 was quite rough and I had to really step away and see what was important to me, I believe I have found my way and will be coming back with more content and a new sense of direction. I wanted to create a community where gamers could come together no matter what we played on and honestly there are quite a few ways to complete that goal. I will be streaming four days a week, mostly solo games, and once I complete the story line on Where Winds Meet than that will be the community game as it is not only cross play across systems, but also cross save. I will also introduce PalWorld at some point. For the moment I will be completing out three solo games a week. I will be streaming on Twitch and when able I will upload the video to my Youtube channel. With my schedule, I will only be streaming every other week so as to not burn myself out creativetly. I will also be writing out game reviews as well as game walk throughs on here that will be written through experience of playing. I am also going to use every chance I get to remind people to return to our roots as communities and through these tough times to be a little kinder to one another. I will not entertain or put up with mindless unkindness in my community and those that attempt to do so will not have access to the community that is being built. On that note, I will not turn anyone away that is looking for a helping hand, as I am still growing I am not able to help out financially but I can provide a safe space on Discord and offer a place to play games. I play more than just I will be showcasing on Twitch, and when I am online I am almost always available and up for a game with friends. I have found that since being back in contact with some old friends of mine that I really do wish to come back into the scene and work towards my original goal of working from home. Do not get me wrong, I enjoy what I do for my personal career and I am actually quite fulfilled and rewarded at work. I do see myself being at my "day" job for a good while yet, as soon I wish to start into learning a new field this year. Two of them to be exact, between cyber security and nursing, I wish to further my education so as to further reach my goals. So I appreciate every view, read, comment, and share across my socials. So to wrap things up on this one, every other week I will be streaming on Twitch on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. I look forward to hearing from all of you as well as playing games together!

Let's talk
What is the true tragedy of being human? Is it the fact that no matter what we go through we are still constantly facing a battle amongst ourselves? Or that lines that become blurred should not be and those that are defined should not be? I don’t know the answers to these at all. There is no reason and yet every reason on why things happen. Believe what you will, and take what you know, do your research for yourself collecting all the facts and combine that to find the truth. Whether you're a junkie that society says won’t be anything more, or the one with the perfect family. There are many things that make us who we are but the one thing that defines us is our own personal choices. Once you realize that the ones you made in your past can ultimately influence your future a bit, it doesn't mean that it’s a constant. Things change. Time, people, weather, everything. After seven years you have a new body with new cells. So strange isn’t it? Something that amazing can happen and yet we don’t even realize what is happening. But yet there is always one constant in our lives. We all have that one person that means the most to us. Sometimes we never truly want to admit but no matter what happens it will always be them. Out of all the change that surrounds us, we all have one person that we truly love. Sometimes we find it and sometimes we don’t. And sometimes, we lose it. Isn’t that odd? We all have that one person that we love but can lose, no matter what happens. When you have that one person you can’t lose, everything else doesn’t seem as big anymore. For me that is my daughter. I have been around a few times, and done my share of traveling and I have found that my peace lies in the little moments of our seemingly boring days, and our adventures. I have always had a sort of peace within myself that I came from my own trauma growing up. So I learned at a young age to accept everything as it was, and allow things to come and go. But once that seven pounds, fourteen ounces little girl came out, my world was forever changed. I know this is probably the laments of an over proud father, but nonetheless she is everything to me. I have been watching her grow, stumble, fall and get back up again. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I was always the one that sort of went with the flow, with that devil may care attitude in life and I found myself although with some interesting company. I made quite a few people who I thought were my friends and some of them stayed for life. I still have no answers to the questions at the beginning and probably never will. But I do know that with purpose you find answers. It is up to each individual to find their own. But as this is being written I ponder on the country that my daughter is growing up in and how I as a father can do what I can to change it. Our country has been divided for far longer than most care to admit, really since shortly after we came to be in my own personal opinion. I am by no means what you would call a leader, nor do I associate myself with either side of our political fence. I agree with our first president in which he said the two party system would be our downfall. This is how I make my change for my daughter growing up, writing, sharing, and urging those to pay attention and call themselves to arms so to speak. I don’t mean go raiding the armories bunkering down with their guns and ammunition. What I mean is pick up your intellectual weapons. I by no means am dismissing the use of normalized weaponry, instead the war for our country needs to be fought on an intellectual level. There are far too many people in power out there that are abusing it, overshadowing those that are trying to usher in a new way of thinking. I have been watching closely as of late to politics and I am saddened to say that I am seeing what feels like a rise of Nazi germany. To the many of those out there who are going to be ready to argue with me, I will partake in civil conversation with you. World War 2 has always been one of my many interests. I have had somewhat of a curious

The Traveling Writer
The traveling writer, what a freedom to have. Going anywhere without a time frame, or schedule to adhere too. A freedom that many crave to have within their own grasp. Be it writer, or not. But what keeps most from traversing over that line? There is a variety of reasons that one may find their own personal truth in, but they all share one thing in common fear. Fear, it's scary to think about really even bringing it up evokes a reaction even in the most stoic of us, we all fear at least one thing and that is perfectly fine. Learning to accept what is, and who we are truly brings us closer to truly living out the life we only really dream of. Trust me, I can speak from a vast and variety in my own personal past. I do not know much and accept a lot for what it is at face value and that is often taken as me being aloof, foolish, spacey so to say. It is not so to say that I am unaware of my surroundings, but rather the opposite, quite hyper aware to a point that I understand what is in my control and what isn't. That is honestly the first step to letting go, learning what you are able to control and what you are not. I am unsure why I am typing this now, and whether or not I will be publishing it, but I am back to writing and my creative side has been coming back through. I just do not have my guitar with me. I on a whim have been going to places on a trip that I only had tunnel vision in, which was seeing a relative I had not met yet, and to let the love of my life, my best friend know that I want a life with her, the ups downs and in between. I do not claim to be the best nor will ever claim to have that which I do not. All my life I have been told to figure out who I am, and that was a struggle and I am unsure if that was due to being already somewhat attuned to myself at a young age, as circumstances left me to my own devices and as with most of my friends and those dear to me, left me growing up too fast. I was far too independent at such a young age that it left me behind on so many social skills and interactions with my peers. I could never truly relate to those around my age, and often found myself in friend groups where I was the youngest, I think looking back was because I truly wanted to be the little brother as I was thrown into adult responsibilities at a young age no younger than my daughter who is now. I wasn't ready but I stepped up, and that lead me to making decisions that helped form me. Being told to find out who I was had been quite a struggle until along my journey I discovered a few truths. While looking into astrology I found My Human Design and Body graphs that were basically a blueprint of who we are supposed to be. And well with taking what I had learned across multiple fields and keeping an open mind, I found out that I wasn't supposed to know who I was in this lifetime. That gave me some solace as I often knew what I liked, and disliked, but it wasn't until I took my first solo trip after being divorced that I think I really found myself. I let myself be, and I honestly kick myself in the ass that it took a car crash for me to figure that out. I have always believed that I was in the right place at the right time learning something I was supposed to do, it was a coping mechanism as a child I used so that way I did not feel so alone and it also served as an armor. I moved around a lot, so making friends really was not in my forte, nor my plans ever as I never knew how long I would be in one place. And in a sense that has carried into my adulthood as I found out that lifestyle I really enjoy and wished to bring my daughter on during my time with her. I aspire to show her that it really doesn't matter what you do, that as long as it's good and with pure intentions that it can be done. Thank you for your time and continued support.

Product Review!
I want to open with, I love this device already. A few months ago I found this handy little travel PC on my local marketplace, and I was enamored from day one. What is this device you ask? Well it's labeled as a handheld game console portable PC mini laptop on Amazon. A lot of words I know, it's basically a handheld gaming laptop all in one. It goes for around $700 on Amazon for the model with similar specs as mine. Which I use for reference, as I found this particular model on my local Facebook marketplace, for $460. So already the price cut caught my attention, and well my wallet. Amongst the 1 TB of storage, 16GB RAM, an 8.4" 2.5K resolution touch screen display, the built in controller along the sides, that can be used as a mouse, with a button for an onscreen resizable keyboard, as well as a detachable keyboard and mouse input for extra purchase, and a built in kickstand my wallet was taken over as it had all the specs I needed to run one of my favorite game series I bought for PC a couple years ago. Within the time of being able to use this device in my daily life, I have become quite gregarious in how portable and updated in tech it is. Now my particular model is already a couple years old, which I understand is still kind of old in today's tech world, but the original box from which the person who sold it to me is in Chinese, so outside of the numbers and common knowledge, I spent due diligence in researching the product. From first hand account I can tell you that it has been great that I can literally sit down anywhere connect to my phone's private network and use my computer. I have also found that it has a wireless display options that I have found work fairly well with Roku streaming devices. Now how long does a charge last, well depending on usage as with most other devices, but usually a good eight hours of normal PC usage, and I am able to get around half that time depending on the game when playing games. Now I say around half that, as I do play some games in the cloud and have even with that 1TB of storage, have found that not all modern games can run a direct download visually, but that's where I am saved by the cloud. Between GeForce Now and having an Xbox Ultimate Game Pass subscription I am able to play most of anything anywhere. Which for having a mobile type of lifestyle is perfect for me, and well I would say even the wandering gamer. Honestly even if you just enjoy travel and tech it's a nice little find and for me has been outdoing most other modern mobile handhelds I have tried or seen. Now while I was doing research, I happened to find newer models from the Onex Player, but seeing as those models were around $1.5k from their own website, I opted with going for the Facebook marketplace. I was truly appreciative of the seller being courteous, kind and helpful in explaining his device he was parting ways with. Upon inquiring why he was deciding to part ways with what was appearing,( eventually proving,) such an amazing device, he said he sadly didn't have the time anymore. So stroke of luck on my end. Now in no way am I being endorsed or sponsored for writing this review, this is an honest review from a happy customer.

Transformation Reloaded
I'll be no longer using this site to continue to write a blog or continue with updates. This will be the last one and will entail all future plans in regards to this page as well as my other social platforms. I'm a creator at heart and have been informed most of my life of my gift with the pen. So I will be using it to write about topics that I care about as well as doing pieces on the charities that I support and have shared their links across my socials. For my vocal page that means some difficult topics may be discussed, but I will find a way to leave resources and tools to help any cope with any triggers that may come of it. Some topics that will be covered are addiction, mental health, abuse, trafficking, as well as those who are actively fighting against as well as ways in which you can help. I will be doing away with the updates of the blog and this will be the last one in this entry. My socials will be geared towards raising awareness for these topics and sharing my content. I will be streaming three days a week and will be sharing content related to the game I will be playing. I have been growing my gaming library and going through some changes as well as upgrading some tech. I have also been working a lot of hours at my day job. Which has been changing schedules a bit. I will still focus on streaming when I can but I will no longer be setting myself to a schedule, I have found it too difficult to keep to with my personal, and work life balance and the nature of my work. During my streams I will be in my voice chat in my discord so keep a look out. I don't wish to record those who don't wish to be so I will not have any voiceovers. But my discord will be a line for any of my followers to use as well as a place for them to gather. I am also going to be done with personal life updates on here. By the start of next year I will have another page on here as a travel blog with all my adventures that I am planning for my little and I, as well as any that I take for work. As far my twitch goes as it grows I may add more content such as cooking tutorials and watch parties. My TikTok will be used for when I am able to go live, so once you see my posting more there be prepared for an adventure sure to follow. YouTube will showcase my past streams, gaming music videos, or as my page grows any requested cooking tutorials. Facebook and Twitter will be the same as TikTok with promoting my twitch. With being on the go so much and a gamer, I will be switching between games on my Chromebook as well as mobile games that I play such as; a variety of games on Xbox game pass, NVIDIA Geforce for starters, Epic games is in the works as I have Kingdom Hearts 1-3 in my library, for mobile I play Dragon ball Legends, Pokemon GO, COD Warzone, One Piece Bounty Rush, Diablo Immortal, Hime's Quest, Fairy Tail Fierce Fight, MHA Strongest Hero, Mario Kart, all pretty actively and all by the same moniker of Yfns96. As always I am working towards being able to pursue my dream of being a stay at home Dad to show my daughter that you can really do whatever you want to do with the skills you have. I don't have any monetized pages as the piece is being written, so I appreciate you taking your time to read this. I would also appreciate if you took some more time to give some of my other pieces of work a read as well, as I do receive earnings just by you reading this for free. So there we go I'm coming back, and still with purpose, as always in the great words of my inspired online persona Excelsior!

2022 Recap
Another year has passed and there are some major updates coming up for future reference. To start things off Stadia is shutting down fully on January 18th. Although Stadia may be shutting down, in the meantime I have made preparations to continue streaming. I have the first two Kingdom Hearts games downloaded to my phone as well as I have started a couple mobile games. So streaming will be resuming once things mellow out from the holidays. Dragonball Legends, Call of Duty Mobile, and My Hero Academia Strongest Hero, is the start of my mobile game list. I am also preregistered on Rainbow Six for mobile. Stadia drew me in with an extensive library of games, streaming options, and a few other cool updates that were released along the way. I have a video up on my YouTube as a farewell to Stadia as it helped me come out of my shell and get back into the gaming community. I still have the goal with my streams of bringing the viewers in to play live with a few multiplayer games. My streaming is going to be taking a bit of a turn and I will be more than just gaming. I will be doing streams of watching shows or movies together, cooking recipes from anime and other cinematic goodies. With that being said I will be making a schedule of my streams and what will be going on that day, whether it’s a watching party, cooking together, playing games, or just chatting while I grind out some levels. I will be creating a space for anyone to come and just hang out and for people to help make new connections and friends. I don’t see myself as having a particular niche and will be open to hearing suggestions and taking polls for upcoming streams from viewers and participants. I still have the goal to be working from home so I appreciate all the views and interaction on my posts. With that being said, I need help from you the people, as I have stated in a previous piece, I earn money just by people reading these, so please freely share with your friends and if you care to read more go check out my other pieces. I have a couple pinned with how to start your own journey as well as some original stories. With bringing one of my other favorite hobbies of cooking I will be posting the recipes right here on my vocal page. With all these changes going on I am still planning on being The Friendly Neighborhood Streamer, swinging in with mobile streams and being on the go. I will be starting a patreon that will include a few different tiers for subscribers. There will be a minimum of three tiers with a VIP spot which will include goodies being sent out. I am still working out the details fully and doing my own research into Patreon and other sites to be able to have goodies sent out. In the meantime I am also on UpWork which is a freelance site to pick up jobs. I will also be setting up a new email to take on work directly as well as for followers to keep in touch with me. In the meantime my inboxes across social media will be open to those with any questions or looking to give suggestions. So let’s do a quick recap of what’s to come, new website, new socials, new games, new schedule, new content, and many new journeys to come. I appreciate what this past year has brought and I look forward to seeing you all again this upcoming year and to meet new people.

The Last Swing?
So I have hung up the streaming career until further notice. I have a lot on my plate at the moment and will be applying myself elsewhere until I am able to better set up and be more consistent. I do appreciate all the love and support of the followers I have gained and once I am able to, will be returning full force. I am a writer by nature, and will be continuing my writings here. Some upcoming pieces will include, game reviews, and game guides. The project I am currently working on is a walkthrough/guide for Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. The piece will primarily cover Stadia controls and feature in game shots caught while playing mobile. My socials will be open still to request any games for me to consider and possibly write about. I will also be putting some original fan fiction on here, as well as keeping posted on when my inevitable return will be to streaming. I will not be returning to twitch for gaming so to all my Twitch followers, I will be revamping the page to include cooking with Spidey. To my followers on TikTok, first of all thank you as that was my first step into deciding to want to move forward. TikTok will see my mobile gaming on live streams and I will be streaming from a different spot in gaming to show off Stadia more. To my YouTube peeps once I'm able to I will be streaming from my PC directly on there. I am currently exploring merchandise options as well what copyrights may need to be taken into account. As our iconic friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is not my own intellectual property nor do I own any rights for resemblance or am making any profit off of his image. My reason for streaming is simple; at one point any of us gamers went over to our friends’ house and without realizing it played our last split screen, co-op, fighter game with them. When was the last time you had an adventure with your friends like that, well I aimed to do just that with Stadia, between crowd choice, state share, and their other niche options for you to use as a streamer or to just play with your friends. As a streamer I wanted to bring that back, so through YouTube and Stadia, I am hoping upon returning to streaming that you will swing by and join the fun. I plan to play exclusive party games for my viewers to join from wherever, plus I will have a link to try out Stadia Pro for free for two whole months, and will exclusively play Stadia Pro games to showcase and shine a light on Stadia. So come and join the fun when the streaming begins again. For now I will still be doing the Amazon Associate job as well, so go check out my webpage and browse around for anything that peaks your interest, even if it’s not the item you can still use those links and I will also be posting a deal of the day on my Facebook page so if you’re not following me on there go take a look. For my twitter and instagram followers I will be posting my links to my Vocal page. I would like to return to streaming soon, and for that to happen, I will be honest, I will need to start making some extra cash. If you are looking to support me without a subscription, please read and share my work that you find on Vocal. You are also more than welcome to send tips through vocal as well as directly on my linktree which can be found across all of my socials. I really need your help in becoming a household name, as always, I can make a party for anyone that wants to play along or if the option is available go ahead to jump right in. My computer is going to cost around $800 to fix and I will also be able to start streaming Kingdom Hearts. Currently my Vocal bank is sitting around $25, so read up and share with your friends. If more people start reading as well as reaching out on social media, I may open up to patreon and start a fan service for those that wish to come along. Details can and will be worked out later. Share this with a friend and read up on some of my other pieces of work. I have a little bit of everything for anyone to read.

Welcome to my Page
Hello and welcome to my page. Here you will find all my updates along the way about my streaming journey. I post hear about two to three times a month. Now some of you may be wondering what my page is about. Well to be put, it's a tell all and be all of my streaming journey, as well as pieces of work that I am able to publish. Now why do I decide to post here instead of anywhere else? Well I am a father of three and a husband. While I am also working outside of the home it is my dream to really be at home while making a living from my passive income so I can be there for the more important moments of my family. My wife and I hope to teach our kids that you can really do whatever you put your mind too and that you do not have to be pigeonholed into the old concept of work. I grew up as many of us had being told, "Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life". But what does that really mean? Just as it suggests, do what you enjoy enough that when you decide to pursue it as a career than you will never truly work anymore. Now I am unsure about yourself but as much I as showed up to traditional "work" and clocked in and traded hours away of my life to companies that really had no problem replacing me after I left. Which isn't negative nor in any way meant to be. I loved some of those jobs that I had, for they had really helped shape me. But as I got older and started to have a family of my own, I noticed my own views changed and I found myself reflecting on the future and what I wanted out of it. I didn't want to be the Dad that was always at work all the while my family cherished the spoils of my arduous labor. I wanted to be there with them to enjoy it, so while they are young I have started a few forms of passive income that I hope to teach not only the next generation, but any who chose to break free from the routine rat race so to speak. To be honest right now you are currently reading a form of my passive income and at no cost to you other than your time so thank you. Yes this website Vocal is one of many that you can post your writings or start up a blog or anything you desire to write about if you're a writer and make a passive income just by people reading. They don't have to subscribe, they don't have to pay some amount to help support you, all they have to do is read, and you just have to share your work. But as far as the workload goes, it's all up to you how much you put in, as well as your own schedule. The plus side is now a days you can do this where ever you are. I also have an Amazon associate account set up where I make commission off products sold from Amazon already, all I do is look up the item, post a link or share an item link with a friend for something they are already looking at buying and get paid. I have a website set up with some products more geared towards my fellow gamers and the community. But anything that is bought through those links you are able to get a commission off of. So go check it out! If you would like to learn more about that one, I suggest you check out the piece I wrote titled Becoming An Amazon Associate on here. I will cover a lot of topics here in my writings and share my keys to what has worked for me and what I have found, all without some cover charge to share my knowledge. In today's day and age there is no reason to not to have access to the wealth of information. I will admit, that due to the Coronavirus I was also inspired as I had seen multiple jobs pop up that were remote, and that pushed me towards working from home in my own way. I am just a regular man, that honestly saw an opportunity and struck while the iron was hot. Now I will say this, you will not be making a lot overnight, and all of these forms of passive income take some time to build, so I am not saying that this is an overnight success story nor will I claim it to be. This takes some dedication and good time management skills. The amount of work is based up to you and how much you put yourself into it. I will say if I get enough requests, I will put up tutorials on my YouTube. Take a look around, read a few pieces and catch up with my story if you so choose. I stream on Twitch and YouTube when I am able, as well as make about daily content on my TikTok, you can find me and my links across all forms of social media as You're Friendly Neighborhood Streamer. Thank you again for taking the time to read this and checking out my work. Leave any suggestions on any of my social media of what you might want to see or learn more of or if you would just like to reach out and need a friend.

Guess Whose Back!
So much has happened since the last time I posted and I am excited to bear it all. So as far as content creation I am still keeping up on that after going on hiatus for about a month. But with the anniversary of one of my all time favorite games Kingdom Hearts this year, and the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts IV, I am setting my sights on beating a few records. I am going to do my research and see what the records are as well as brush up on my skills. With that said come join and watch me on twitch as I play along with the my comfort game and play all the way through. You're Friendly Neighborhood Streamer is proposing a challenge to Google Stadia to put all of the Kingdom Hearts games onto their servers to bring the joy across multiple screens and for others to enjoy wherever they are. I have a special soft spot in my heart for these games as I used to play them with someone dear to me and have very fond memories. Being a Disney fan as well as a gamer myself whose first games were Final Fanstasy VII and VIII, I became very fond of the game itself when I recieved it as a Christmas present as a child. Well anyway I am sure some of you may be wondering how my other endeavors may be coming along, and well I am still gaining traction on social media, which as we all know isn't very easy to do just overnight. But I do appreciate those that take the time to read these little sections about me as just by reading I am receiving support, as well if you are reading this than I suggest you take a look at my other social media accounts, you can find me across most of social media by my moniker of You're Friendly Neighborhood Streamer or my gamer tag of Yfns96. I will also being taking any suggestions of content to write for anyone that would like a step by step guide of what I am doing online to work on my forms of passive income. I do still have my website up with not only my links but also a store with a few items up for gamers and non a like. I will be posting up the books I have been reading that have been helping as well up there. I will soon be recording audiobooks for ACX, and I will also be posting the links on there. I do have a piece up on how to become an Amazon associate and promote amazon products to sell online and make a commission. I will be posting another one about becoming an ACX agent as well as how to set up an account on here for those of you who are writers as well. There are plenty of option out there and I want to help show you that you don't have to stick to the daily nine to five grind. You can just check out the Nine to Five on my YouTube channel and leave that grind to You're Friendly Neighborhood Streamer! I do wish to remind you that I am working on trying to break away from the regular job and show that no matter who you are, what you do that you can still do what you want. Again if anyone is interested in doing anything similar and would like to get a hold of me than you are more than welcome to get in touch with me on my website, I will get back to you personally by email or you can also hit any of my direct lines on social media. Until next time my friends stay safe and have fun!

Looking to be a Creator?
So you are looking at becoming a streamer or content creator yourself? Than you have the right article or at least a good one to start. See everyone has to start somewhere and don't worry about not knowing what to do. Alright now the first thing that you want to do is find something that you enjoy, whether that is cooking, playing video games, painting, creating things and yes even that thing that you think no one out there is going to watch or to like. Trust me there will always be an audience out there that is going to watch you and be excited to see what you do next. Next just start, yes it's that simple, just start doing what you enjoy and record it, share it, edit your work and don't be afraid. I know that can be easy to hear, read and even easier to say it out loud, but it's the getting over that part. I can't and won't beat the dead horse that most of society will tell you to do. I honestly find those words very repetitive and not very helpful at all. I can say though that once you just take that first big step, the next one is smaller, that third step gets even smaller and so on. What I am here to say is if you don't feel that anyone will watch your niche, you can reach out to me on my socials and I will drop a like, follow, share. Now a days it has become easier to help support one another even across long distances. Tracking back to becoming a content creator, and streamer yourself you don't need any fancy equipment or have to have the biggest following or even to be following the latest trends on social media to begin. I am sure as you find across other articles as well that all the biggest streamers, content creators, celebrities, and anyone that has been doing their craft for while that they started somewhere. After you start, all you have to do is keep consistent and even keep doing research on what you are doing. In other words, keep on keeping on. Bruce Lee once said, "I do not fear the man that has mastered 100 kicks, but the man who has mastered one kick 100 times", basically get really good at what you do and keep sharpening your sword of knowledge on it. I do most if not all of my videos and editing just off my phone with free apps, as well as screen recording. If you are looking to go the twitch route and even if you are not into gaming you will have an audience. Whether that is cooking, playing card games, doing magic, heck just even talking about something you are passionate about. There are even a lot of places that you are able to stream live or mobile. A few of these include the ever popular Twitch, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, now you don't need any fancy software to even start or a state of the art phone. All that I would recommend is that you get a device that has a large storage capacity. As often I have found that video files while editing take up a lot of space on any device. If you are a gamer, I do recommend that you look into Stadia or even using mobile games you already play, most devices have the screen share option and I would recommend using Twitch as you are able to stream right from your device, whether you are sharing your screen or you can stream right from your camera. With most of these apps, there is the option when you go to post or upload a video of going live. Some social media sites require you to meet a certain number of followers before going live. I did run across this with TikTok, and with one of their recent updates to their app, they added the option to share your screen but they have a requirement of having eighteen thousand followers. Which if you stay consistent with your posts on TikTok, than you can amass a following fairly fast. But there is no guarantee on making it viral, and there is no absolute to be all end all way to make it viral or else we all would be viral. The biggest hurtle that you are going to have is your mindset. As simple as that sounds it's very true, whether you think you can or you think you can't you will be right. What all your teachers, mentors, adults, TV shows, random posters in schools and what seemed to be repeated everywhere growing up is actually true. You are what you think, so once you start to believe in yourself than no matter how many followers or views you are getting online you will be reaching out to your true audience. And that brings me to my next point, as it does help to have a lot of followers more often than not it does take some time to amass such a following, but you will find that you will have some followers that will support and share your content no matter what. You're quality followers will help you bring in a quantity of followers. Let me say that again but differently. You're true fans will want to show your content to their own people who are like minded, who in turn will show their people. Much like the ripples of a wave, you may not start off as a big wave from just standing on the shore, but as it reaches across the water that small ripple gains momentum. Now there are hit and miss days, which comes with everything you do. Now making content every day can be quite tiresome and in no way am I ever going to tell you that you need to be making something every day. That is another perk to being a content creator, if you need to take a bit of a break from creating do so! I cannot stress how important it is to rest while being a content creator. Creative burnout is a real thing and will also have you start to resent your own passions and hobbies for which you so wanted to share with the world. As you continue on your journey you will find your own way, with your own path. In a short recap, find what you love, share it, believe in yourself, master it, and make sure to get rest. I won't take up too much of your time anymore, so I will be wrapping it up with this. Go forth and prosper friends!

Helios Selene Eos
Helios is the god of the sun, He has two sisters, Selene and Eos. With the coming of each new day belonging to Helios, but the night belongs to Selene. I understand now when you tell me, in a voice that muses, and sirens wish that they could have, “Helios, Selene Eos” I can feel the love permeate through every word, every molecule of air from you to me. I know that by just saying those three words that, even with how broken I am, you still somehow find the best in me. So when I told you the same thing I did not think that you would ever leave. Then you came back, how grateful I was for that moment, and again you told me “Helios, Selene, Eos” again and again I could feel what you were trying to tell me. Time and time again we went on like this, you the siren and me the dreaded sailor that always finds himself going towards the siren’s calls no matter what the rest of the crew is saying. I should learn that what you say is not true but your words trap me like a gorgon’s gaze. Unlike Perseus though I am unable to cut off your head so I don’t turn to cold stone, all I do is turn cold. No matter what I do to try and fend you off to keep you away, the gods seem to be more amused at what you do to me. I have prayed to every god for help and only one offered me help. Hades. I am tempted to take his offer for help as the other gods laugh at my requests to have all memory of you washed away from me. And now I take up Hades' offer. High atop one of the highest mountains save Mt. Olympus I take one more step and I forget that you were even in my life. I feel the wind rushing against my face as I take the final step and then I am face to face with Hades without a realization of what I have just done. For I had made the ultimate sacrifice, and that is why the other Gods all laughed at my requests to have your memory torn from my mind. Had I known the true reasoning I may have reconsidered my course of action. But I wanted all memories of you gone more than anything else in this world. So as I stood before Hades I felt every fiber in my being, swelling with rage inside that I did not know if I could control any longer. As I walked up to him to accept my fate I heard a voice in my head scream, “Now!”, and before I could make sense of what happened next I found myself holding someone’s head in my bare hands. I cannot recall what drove me to behead this being, but when I looked closer upon inspection, I saw Hades’s twisted smile. I had done it now, I thought to myself. I had beheaded the King of the Underworld and brother to the mighty Zues himself, what was my punishment to be, why had I not been struck down where I stood, what brought me to kill the King of the Underworld? These questions and many more came rushing in all at once and I had not the time nor the answers to any of them. So before I could even think, I ran. I ran far from the scene and left the beheaded corpse and dropped the bloodied head as my feet carried me until I could no longer stand. I still had the head of the King of the Dead, which by some twist of cruel fate was dead by my hand.
