A Self-Proclaimed Dreamer

     Well, friends, another very busy June has just passed us by, and I thought I would jot down just a few of my thoughts being involved with my friends that I work with, the youth. This is the last period of time that I'm writing about this, as I'm transitioning into a new position, though I fortunately won't be moving anywhere anytime soon, just working in a different area in the church. A lesson that I've learned many times during this period of my life is that two things can be true at the same time. For instance, what I'm feeling right now is grateful for the time that I've been working in ministry, while also being nervous for whatever lies in wait just ahead as I transition into pastoral care. If you know me, you probably know that I have a tendency to overthink things, even something that doesn't seem like a big deal at the time, so for something like this, the overthinking goes into maximum overdrive. Let's get into a few of these thoughts toda...

 Hey friends! It's that time where all the biggest announcements go on, with Summer Game Fest kicking off on Friday, the Xbox showcase on Sunday, and then the Nintendo Direct that just happened this Tuesday. It's a good time if you're someone who likes a lot of different news from different companies, and this season seemed to be pretty good for everyone (though especially for fans of JRPGs). Today I'd like to touch on some of the announcements that I was the most excited about, and maybe even some that I don't care about, but others certainly will be. I hope you've all enjoyed watching the presentations as much as I have, and I'll do my best to cover as much as I can! Pretty Good Shows All Around!     I have to start off by talking about the announcement that started off Summer Game Fest, a remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica . Resident Evil has been on fire in the last few years, and I'm really excited to play the remake of this game, I've heard...

 Hey friends! It's been a while since I commented on some new game information, and I'm very happy to be back doing that at least for a few minutes here today. There were only a few games that especially caught my attention, so I'll do my best to just focus on the three or four, while bringing up a few to keep an eye on in the end here. Let's try to just jump into the stories here today, because I'm so excited for quite a few of them! Gotta Love New Game Announcements!     The Sony State of Play on June 2 started off with a pretty brutal look at Insomniac's latest game, Wolverine . This game looks pretty awesome, and while I do wish they could be working on one of their original series, such as Ratchet and Clank , after the excellent but short Rift Apart from 2021, their work on the most recent Spider-Man games have also been spectacular (pun somewhat intended). Wolverine is turning the rating up a little bit, from Teen to Mature, due to the kind of ridiculous...

     Hey friends, it has been quite a while since I last wrote on here, but now my semester has ended and I'll do my best over the summer to catch up a bit on some topics I'd love to talk about! First of all, about a month ago, I took a trip with my family down to Orlando, and during that time, my brother and I went to Universal's newest park, Epic Universe. It has been a really long time coming, and I was excited for this park when I saw the first trailer when they put it out several years ago, so I hope you'll join me today as I talk a little bit about the day that I had at Epic Universe.  The Chronos, welcoming us into the world of Epic Universe! So Many Worlds to Choose From!      You enter the park through the Chronos, a portal that leads you into Celestial park, the point of convergence between the four main areas that make up this part, but to just introduce it as an entrance does it a bit of a disservice, to be honest. Celestial Park was the on...

       In 2019, we got the game Control . If you know me, it's entirely possible that you've heard me talk about this game, and I've written about it at least twice here on my blog, so I don't want to go too deep into the deeper themes, but I just wanted to write a little something with Control Resonant coming out this year. In one post, I talked about how it's kind of beautiful how Jesse is able to find herself and take her place as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Control and becomes the one in charge of facing the things that go bump in the night, even though there are so many threats to be overcome even in the first hours of her new inherited job. Today I would like to focus on Jesse's bond with Polaris, and a little bit about believing in yourself, even if your task is so overwhelming. It's been a while since I've written something like this, so it won't be too long today, but I do hope you'll enjoy the long awaited return.     I don...

 Hey friends, it's been a while! I missed all of the last few months, and along with that, I missed a pretty important reminder, that my blog has been around another whole year! As of September, my blog is 5 years old. I need to get caught up a bit on lots of things this week and I'm sorry that I've been gone so long. As I said several months ago, I've been working on taking a few classes on top of my work responsibilities, and it has just taken a lot out of me, I hope you understand! Without further ado, let's talk!     When I started this blog a long time ago, I didn't think that much about it. I was going more than a little stir-crazy during the Covid 19 pandemic, I had been sending what felt like endless resumes out to big jobs that I was interested in, and heard almost nothing back. I also had been thinking about starting a Youtube channel or blog when I was in college, but just never got around to it. This pandemic marked my chance to finally start somethi...
