BTW...

I wrote a novel.

 
Crossing that 50k word threshold was like a wave of joy that washed over me.

 
I started out with a goal of 1700 words per day to finish in 30 days (inspiration from Gretchen Rubin - Author of The Happiness Project) a few days got missed here and there but I did complete the goal in 23 non-consecutive days which is far sooner than I had hoped to finish because I would get into the zone and go above the writing goal so I just finished faster.

 
I'm far from done though. This is just the mere first draft, now it'll go to an editor where it will be torn apart, marked up, proofread and sent back for the second draft which will include any needed rewrites of sections or additions to clarify plot lines or add to the story arc etc. which will happen during #NanoWriMo this year.

 
I've always been fascinated with the idea and concept of NanoWriMo and I've wanted to participate for so long but never really had the drive or the idea or pretty much the know how to even write a novel. I'm sure people are going be shocked and surprised to hear this news I mean I'm shocked and surprised myself!

But over the years i've been involved in several writing communities and making blog posts on #Medium and really trying to hone my writing abilities and with all I've learned and even taught to others hearing Gretchen's book was just like the lightbulb that went off in my head it's like I can actually do this now!

While I was in the should I shouldn't I stage I told myself I wasn't gonna just automatically say "Hey Y'all I'm writing a Novel!" because y'all would of been like yeah right whatever!

 
Then failing at the task and hearing everyone say I knew it just another failed thing.

No. I said I'm not saying nothing until I can say I WROTE A NOVEL!

It will be published as well self published but still it will be published!

This is a achievement that not everyone can pull off and if I only do it once you know what they say. Authors live forever.

Lonely Thoughts

Some people don't understand what true loneliness is like. they imagine it as someone cut off from the world hiding in darkness cowering in a corner not engaging with society. a person without friends or a person with friends but doesn't engage with them for whatever reason. They spend their days alone with little contact from the outside world. Some people choose that life. some are built for that life. but loneliness is different thing for different people and it treats people in different ways.

If you enjoy loneliness and embrace it you can thrive on it.

but if loneliness is a prison then it eats at you and each day is harder than the last.

Imagine you're a prisoner of loneliness you spend 16 hours a day inside your own mind. you look for constant ways to break free to have a little reprieve from your own thoughts you have friends and people you know but they all have their own lives you suggest things to them you invite them to do things with you things that you want to do things that interest you but no one is interested in what you want to do you see them doing things and think why wasn't you invited to that they don't bother to invite you to do their things and if they do you're an afterthought or you have to ask to be included which makes you feel less than. you are basically sitting on top of your devices waiting for any type of social interaction and when you do actually get something you pounce on it craving conversation only to be left on read and / or waiting hours on end for the next reply.

it's quite discouraging when all you want to do is make your place a little less lonely because it's your place that is the prison when the only memories you have is waking up and spending 16 hours by yourself and 8 hours sleeping day in and day out for weeks and months and years without a single soul crossing your threshold having memories other then yourself in your prison would make it a little less lonely at times.

True loneliness is when you don't want to be alone and don't have to be alone but no one chooses to let you out of your prison even though they have the key to free you from your loneliness. That's the type of loneliness the hurts the worst. That's the type of loneliness people try to escape from. That's the type of loneliness some have to battle everyday. that's true loneliness.

2021 Summary

 Fuck doing a big ol' post nobody cares...

but for historical records I'll do a recap of the year besides my stalkers will be grateful to have something new to screenshot.

so what significant things happened in 2021 hell I don't know I can barely remember what I did yesterday.... let's see what Facebook and my photo gallery says... 

Autumn was a nice start to the new year she was a treat but of course she didn't last long because she got freaked out over a freaking joke I made about being her future husband it's like FFS it was a joke but nope she was done and out. 

reconnected with candace she's such a gorgeous and logical beautiful mind but she also lives in canada so yea it only goes so far. we typically have nice talks then lose contact for x amount of time then come back around later.

The Kik group got me turned on to Peanut butter whiskey who knew how good that shit is... it led to some interesting zoom calls lol

the business got the 2020 readers choice award from the local newspaper that was cool

MattoonWebcam.com was born 

Ohhhhh. Raychel LOL damn. she really came out of her shell. if 2021 was a spotlight for anyone it was Raychel she came out swinging in January. Lemme tell you about Raychel.

I met her about 4 maybe 5 years ago years ago she would do some business marketing for me pass out flyers do some business promotions etc etc. we became friends over the years she was always attractive and we always had a good chemistry but never went anywhere...

But then Boom! Come to the Club see me dance   😳 oh dear.... there is Raychel like she's never been seen before she's a stripper now LOL things move pretty fast after this point we share A LOT thoughts and feelings and have deep conversations and I'm helping her build a Adult enterprise empire which let's me see a whole new side of raychel every side in fact LOL and we start spending a lot of time together it's great we kiss we get intimate we share details that only couples would. but as the months go on some cracks in the foundation are forming until one day they bust wide open and we part ways in a unpleasant way. I won't go into details.

I'm devastated. Lost even. we talked almost every moment of the day we ate together just about everyday. I didn't know what to do with myself. but I knew it was for the best because it had become somewhat unhealthy for me to be so attached to her. 

so things moved on. 

Feb - Starlink! becomes Available for Pre-Order! of course you know I jumped on that! (fast for toward Feb 2022 I just now got the Order Confirmation that its ready to ship! waited a WHOLE YEAR! and i really had to scramble to get the $500 fee for the kit)   

File this under the shit I buy LOL so Cindy from the Kik group finds these off the wall things and dares me to buy them LOL and of course I do...

first up is the Testicuzzi LOL what is it you asked... it's a jacuzzi for your balls LOL 

Next, is the Dude 1000 what could that be? This was a game changer It's a Bidet! never thought I'd be a bidet person but here I am. it took a little bit to get used to but lol I'm a fan now.

2021 The year I started using Just For Men LOL and it's really not a bad thing I don't hate it lol

Maddie becomes more open she was quite shy always interested but never really engaged until i gave her enough confidence and then she opened up and we had a few good moments.  however fleeting they were they were meaningful.

My Bar has really started to develop well i've got a whole selection of different whiskeys, spirits and more and even some edibles and dabs yes I've actually become quite a cannabis enthusiast this is mainly thanks to Raychel lol.

Cindy from the kik group she lives in texas but we have quite the flirtatious thing going on it's nice to have someone to talk to and to and share stuff with even if things tend to get a bit naughty lol

oh fucking Leah LOL (literally) LMAO so I meet leah off of Facebook dating she was nice and we hit it off pretty well and she didn't live far from me so we started a thing and as soon as we did the thing she tested positive for covid UGH! BUT! I never caught it! it's like how was that even possible I COULDN'T have been MORE exposed if I tried LOL which leads me to believe I am naturally immune to covid lol.

but anyways after just a week of dating if you can call it that she just up and says i started a thing with this other guy so bye i'm like uhh what and that was the end of leah lol 

and good gods The great Furniture debacle of 2021 lemme tell you i'm a person that doesn't like change once something is set it's set for as long as it is functional. if it's not broke don't fix it is my motto.

well when brian my moms husband died in 2016 she bought this huge sectional living room set for like 5 grand out of the insurance money right well 2021 she got sick of it and was gonna sell it on facebook for $200 just to get rid of it i'm like are you ridiculous she's like well then you take it and i was this won't fit in my house so long story short after taking a couple pieces out we made it fit but I had to completely rearrange my whole front room it was a nightmare and i was nonfunctional for weeks because it took forever to get everything back to normal again but now that it's right it is better so i guess all ended well. 

but I had to do a lot of work even put a lot of holes in the wall and rebuild part of the wall. ugh.  but it was worth it in the end.

beba rexha whom i really never heard of before came out with a killer album that i was quite stuck on.

Then we have Amanda from Chicago and Kat from Marshall both beautiful ladies. i won't be forgetting the meet and greet with kat i'll tell you that lol Amanda is still an ongoing thing I see her when i find myself up in northern illinois. Kat not so much we talked for the better part of the year and met up a few times but then it kinda fizzled out which was a shame. 

Enter Elizabeth... she fascinated me from the beginning she was new to kik living in colorado we hit it right off. little did i know she would be the reason the kik group and the "best friends" that i've come to know would disown me because of her but i didn't care because she was worth the fight and still is.

we shall meet one day. 

Jennifer! (yes another Jennifer LOL) she was a matchmaker suggestion from another friend Sara (more on sara later) but Jennifer was Great for a time nice jewish soccerish type of mom vibe she was actually close to my age and we had real dates and did adult things like go out to eat and just hang out and have intelligent conversations it was a nice refreshing change but as time went on about 4-5 dates in when things should be moving along they stalled and communication started lacking on her part and then it just stopped ghost style left confused and wondering I left it be... well a month later she just pops back up hey wanna hang out... I'm like WTF?! you ghost me for a month than you just pop back up like the last month didn't happen no I don't wanna "hang out" that's not cool not. so although I didn't really want to end things with jennifer I didn't really feel i had a choice because she had her own issues to deal with that didn't involve me. and knowing my history with "jennifers" I was gonna fight it. 

But it was fun while it lasted and i'll hold our time together fondly and we are still friends.

AND OHHHHH SHIT!

Guess who makes a come back LOL Savannah Returns! with Baby Iris... the love child we apparently made last august when we first met. yeah. she says I thought she should get to know her dad.  and things have been good with me and savannah for the most part we are still seeing and speaking in 2022 and iris couldn't look any more like me she's adorable. the story continues with Savannah....

I started trying to get more fit I found this program Called 75 Hard it really resonated with me so I wanted to give it a go and I'm still with it Started going to the gym reduced my dew intake making more healthy snacking choices cutting down on the fast food and take out. drinking protein shakes I know Right! 

So that is a positive way to start the end of the year...

Then we pretty much end the notables of the year with Raychel she sends me a message via email simply saying "I Miss You" and even tho I cut the strings between us I kinda melted when I read that and we mended our differences and instead of going back to the way it was we went back to "pre stripper" raychel and just rekindled the friendship that was always there. because we had known each other long before we were doing whatever it was we were doing and we missed each other. so it was nice to reconnect and reform that bond that we share. 

and that stalkers and fans is my 2021 the holidays went pretty good for the most part didn't do much of anything i slept through thanksgiving tolerated christmas eh it is what it is. 

anyways that's all I've got tuned in next year to see what kind of shitshow 2022 becomes!
