Today is the 14 year anniversary of my YouTube channel, according to YouTube.

I joined in 2006, but I did have older videos of me playing Guitar Hero II and Rock Band around then. I had videos up before 2011, but I deleted them, so I guess it counts from the 1st video.

Got the blood drawn for the polycythemia tests (not bone marrow thankfully).

I will keep you posted.

I lost my medical assistance because I made under 10 dollars in streaming revenue last year, so I didn't receive a specific tax form that I needed to input the data (which I didn't have) on to my tax documents.

I deleted the post asking for help. Other people need it more than I do.

I deleted all of my music from all streaming services (except Bandcamp, which may be next). Like it fucking matters. No one was listening.

I am an absolute failure of a musician, and a person. I can't do anything right, and I hope my time left on this planet is very fucking short.

Leave me alone.

My music discography is full of great music, but it could be better. I don't spend nearly enough time on fine-tuning my songs to "pop". I spend maybe an hour or two on the entire song and send it out into the world. Needs more polish.

I consider the DAW switch an opportunity to "start anew".

I'm at that point again where I question why I put my music up on streaming services, when ultimately it costs me more money to do so than I get back.

And it's making certain factors of my life a bit more difficult.

I wonder if YouTube and Bandcamp are enough. I mean YT gets some views.

I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle.

Just in general.

Musictoid: Full Speed Ahead! (Final Fantasy XI) 🎵

This is the mount music from FFXI, written by Naoshi Mizuta. If you haven't played in a while, they have mounts now :P It's such a fun track.

Other than a link to one of my songs, I haven't posted anything in a few days. I'm here, just waiting for the paperwork to be able to schedule the bone marrow tests needed to rule out polycythemia vera.

Void 🎵

YouTube seems hellbent on showing this song to a bunch of people (the Streaming version, this one only has like 5 views). Definitely not my best song, and is on my least favorite album "Nonsensicals V", released in 2015.

So I'm showing you all :p

I'm going to have so many golden keys if I ever can get back into Borderlands 4 :P I stopped playing to run the Diablo IV season and haven't been able to return due to interest in other things.

I also need to play FFT Remake, dammit.

Distracted by new music DAW. Which is great :)

I've been looking over my blood test results while waiting for my appointment. It looks like I've had high red blood cell count since 2020 :/ The number has never been in the normal range, but it goes up and down.

I really hope this visit isn't just "See you in 6 months". I'll be upset. #blutoid

Yesterday was pretty uneventful for me. I spent most of it asleep, not really stressing about what day it was (28th year since my father passed in case you missed it).

I usually post something online about how it went down. About how he died. I might post something soon. I also didn't drink.

Man I don't think I'm doing well health-wise. Might need to see my primary doctor again to talk about some new lumps popping up on my body.

First I gotta talk to my hematologist about my blood tomorrow.

Today is 28 years since my father died. He was a great man. A combination of caring for and teaching me, but not controlling what I do, so I learned stuff on my own as well.

Took care of 4 kids by himself for 7 years after my mother died. I hate that he's not alive today. I miss him.

Shaking things up a bit. Decided to move to a different music DAW. I had been using a discontinued version of Cakewalk Sonar Platinum, and now I made the jump to Cubase Pro 15.

I'm hoping the change will help me learn what I need to do in order to make better music. But 1st I gotta learn basics.

Had bloodwork done today, and the numbers look pretty rough. The combination of elevated red blood cells and other new elevated things suggest I could be fighting some kind of infection, or possibly polycythemia vera.

I have a video visit with my hematologist on Monday. Will let you know #blutoid

I don't think my music is ever going to really impress anyone, but I at least hope some of it is fun to listen to.

I'm brainstorming ways to make my music more interesting. If you got any ideas, I'm interested.

I feel like maybe I should stop drinking. While I only drink 1 bottle a month (usually lasting a few days), it just makes me sleepy, and I wake up feeling stupid as hell.

I also end up sleeping most of the day. Doesn't seem worth it. I'll save this last bit of honey bourbon for November 9th.

Eye of the Beholder 🎵

I consider this a boss battle song. I wrote it in 2014 for the album Ad Lib Vol 1 Part 2.

I'm addicted to this album (links to a playlist). By Sean "CosmicGem" Bialo. Really awesome chiptunes.
