The O.I. Saga Ch. 6: Incoming Video Message
Okay, so there's not an ACTUAL video message in this blog, but hear me out. :P Before we dive in, let me give a bit of a follow up to my previous blog, since I said I would do that. "Operation: Red Robin" was a flop. The waitress wasn't even there, as I expected. I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities to try again in the future, but on the bright side, atleast I got some tasty Mac and Cheese out of it. Mmmmmmmm.....:P
Now then, on to the main topic of this blog. As you know, I've had a bit of an internal struggle with myself about my lack of independence. My O.I. seemingly prevents me from doing normal adult things, such as going outside on my own, preparing my own food, ect and ect. I've yet to tell my parents about how I'm currently feeling, as I just feel awkward talking to them about it. But now I'm at a point where I so very badly want to talk to them about it, as it would seem that's the only way to make any real progress.
Today an idea popped into my head about how I could go about doing this. I'm not sure if I'll go THROUGH with this idea, but it's an idea none the less. You see my first initial plan, and the plan I might ultimately wind up going with, was I was going to write up a list of bullet points, going over all of the different things that are currently bothering me, as well as all the goals I'm wanting to accomplish. Basically write out a sort of game plan for how I'm going to tell them, before I actually tell them.
See another reason why this is quite difficult, is that I'm just not good at talking about more serious topics such as this. Sure, I'm doing pretty fine at it right now with this blog post, but that's because that's exactly what this is. A blog. You see I've found out that if I actually take the time to write out what I'm going to say, before I actually say it, I'm able to construct my thoughts and opinions alot better. For example, with this blog, although it might take you a few minutes to read all of it, for me, it'll take like maybe, 30 to 40 minutes max to write it from start to finish. That's why it's easier to talk about this here, because I have more time to really think about how I want to express these thoughts and feelings I'm having. In an unscripted environment, I feel like I come off as a bit rambly and scatter brained, atleast when it comes to more serious topics.
AND THAT'S WHEN IT HIT ME!
I could possibly use this more scripted format to explain to my parents about this independence thing! Okay, so quick backstory for context. I have a YouTube channel, where I post gameplay videos, and reviews. The reviews are all scripted, and I put alot of hard work into the writing and editing of those videos. Here. Have a random link to one of those reviews if you wanna take a look at them. Hope you have 50 minutes to kill. XD
Anyway, so I figured, if for whatever reason, the list of bullet points isn't enough, and I can't work up the courage to tell them that way, then maybe I could create a video talking about it. I don't know if I'd make it a public video on my channel, for all of my subscribers to see, but it could still be a possibility in atleast letting my parents know how I feel. This way, by creating a script around this topic, I can make sure I cover everything about it, and then that should be enough to get the conversation going.
Now again, I'm not sure if I'll go through with this idea, as it is currently just that, an idea. I might just go with the bullet points thing, but that's just something I thought of today. What do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea? Meh idea? :P Let me know. In the meantime, the quest for independence continues!

Blah
Yeah its another one of "those" blogs.
Earlier tonight, I got word that my cousin died, drug overdose. I know several people now who have died directly or indirectly because of drugs (hard drugs). Spent the night trying to figure everything out but I can't. I don't know what is going on with everything. Its like everyone just decided to start popping pills, shooting needles, and fking themselves up. In my community, people by the handful are hooked on pills, you can see them deteriorate everyday. I don't recognize them anymore and I don't think they can recognize themselves anymore.
Do you know what the worst part of it is? None of them seems to want help or to get off the stuff. Even with the people who has died in recent memory, no one is getting the message.

Dr. Death.
Old news I know, but not for me.
In a room in Dublin, a man nicknamed "Dr Death" is teaching people how to die. A dozen people are here to plan their suicides.
On a screen, poisonous substances are ranked in order of convenience, availability and painfulness.
Dr Death sits at the front of the room, not facing directly at his audience - almost as if it's too hard to look them in the eye. But they clearly have no inhibitions about being there.
One woman says she has traveled from Singapore for this. The audience is made up mainly of elderly people - many have seen friends and family die in horrific ways.
Their host promises an answer for their desperation. In vivid detail, he describes how their final moments could offer something different. It sounds too good to be true.
Apparently the substance leaves no trace of it in the body after death.
I never knew such a service existed.
Is this a good or bad choice?
Maybe I'm a coward but I strongly believe, while there's life there's hope.

What is this new "PREMIUM?"
What is this new "PREMIUM?" I am seeing it more often, what is the difference?
Truth!! does it even exist in our Governments?
So lets see a show of naive hands who believe in their so called governments, for the people, by the people right? Why are we so stupid? would we let people we know lie to us all the time? We live on the promise of tomorrow that never comes! Look around who's suffers? the people or the politicians? we have a voice people, yet we seldom use it, why is that I wonder? what will it take for us to wake up to their on going lies coming out of their mouths time and time again, the last man to truly care for the people of Ireland was Micheal Collins! he tried to change things for the better, and THEY killed him, just like JFK MLK Gandi among many who tried and died, I may be young, but my Father is 48 and my Grandfather is 82 and they say its always been that way since as far back as they can remember the politicians have been corrupt with money sex and drugs, and their favorite power! and they will do everything and anything to have it. We're heading for a fall we won't get up from in the next decade, this is all our world not just that 1% who controls our puppet governments all around the world, and we the people let them, and we the people have to stop them before its to late. They have us believing that next time will be better, all I want to know is, how many next times do we the people have to endure? Peace! may the universe watch over you all.
2-22-22 ....nearly 9 days away, depending on your time zone
I have heard that this is going to be a significant date from two independent sources. I do not know how significant or to what nature that significance will be.
Well....I am lying a bit. I actually heard from one of the two sources....that date is when the sh*t is going to hit the fan. We all know what happens when sh*t hits high speed fan blades.
(sorry, I couldn't resist).
Anyway....has anyone heard anything about this?

The only food that hasn't been affected by inflation...
Seafood and steak in some places are now double. Some vegetables are coming in around 40% higher. We all see it and we all feel it. The dollar store items are now $1.25 but the only thing I've found that hasn't gone up in price are the mini-pies at Walmart.
Fifty cents for as long as I remember...
