An introduction to... me?

Hi everyone, 
My name is Jonathan Bowers and this is a new experiment for me. I've been trying to learn more about myself in these past few months, but I don't know how to do that. I'm going to be honest, I meant to start a blog or a Youtube channel a long time before now (Still planning the Youtube channel, and writing scripts for that), but it's taken a long time to actually do anything about it and I couldn't think of a name for a long time. I decided to go with "A Self-Proclaimed Dreamer" because I have a lot of ideas, thoughts, and other things, but I don't share them with anyone, they just live in my head (and laptop), so no one else would really call me much of a dreamer unless I know them super well. That's part of what this is about, I guess, sharing my thoughts with others. That means opinions, ideas for writing, and excitement about various different upcoming projects are all on the table. Upcoming projects is a phrase which here means, "video games and movies." I am definitely one of the biggest Disney fans that I know, and that goes double for Theme Parks, so definitely expect to see some content about Disney World on here. I'm trying to make this about things that I like and less about being an online journal, but sometimes the two go hand in hand, if I feel like it makes sense to include some tidbit about my life, maybe I'll include it, but I certainly will try my best to not forcibly subject you all to this. I'm excited for this project and I hope you guys will like it too! 
Hope to post again soon!

A Sober Speakeasy...

      Hey there, friends! Are you looking for a new feeling of community? Do you like dressing up like someone out of the roaring 20's? Are you planning on observing a "Dry January" or do you just enjoy non-alcoholic drinks and would like to know how to make one for yourself? I have just the event for you! I've been working with a group of young adults from Smoke Rise Baptist Church for the last few months on a pop-up event in collaboration with Princeton and we've come up with something pretty unique! We call it a "Sober Speakeasy," where we will capture the essence of a cool exclusive club nestled in the heart of Downtown Tucker, Georgia, but we would love for people to come! We'll have some silent films in the background while you meet and converse with people, play old games, and a tutorial to show how to make non-alcoholic "mocktails." Make sure to keep your eyes peeled though, I've heard rumors of another club in town that's p

Growing up with games (Thoughts on positive impacts of gaming on a person)

When I was little, many of my friends played video games pretty often, and as we grew up, many of them drifted away from the medium, many of whom didn't really want to be friends after they stopped playing. It was always a sad time for sure, but nothing lasts forever I suppose. I'm thinking a lot about my own personal background with gaming this week while I prepare for a pretty exciting trip that involves a discussion about how I began my history with gaming, and I thought I should share some of my credentials here this week, and it's funny that it has taken me this long to talk a bit about my times playing games. This week will be a little more self-reflective than I'm used to, somewhat to convince me that I'm worthy of talking on that topic. I'm getting to where I can accept that I'm deserving of good things, and my friends have felt that way for a while, so I would like to take a moment here before I begin to thank all of them for encouraging me. It'

Becoming A Character in The Story

    A young vampire slayer once said, "The hardest thing about this world is to live in it it. Be brave. Live." I'm not going to claim that I'm the biggest "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fan out there, but I will say this is a line that has stuck with me and many others. A few weeks ago, I discussed Seussical the Musical , and specifically talked about my interest in The Cat in the Hat as a character, as well as The Narrator from Into the Woods . What do these two characters have in common though? It's not too hard to figure out, since one of the two is literally called "The Narrator," but they narrate the story. They exist out of the confines of the show, and jump in whenever a character is needed for plot development or to explain what a character is feeling, but (for the most part) they don't have a part to play.       I think part of why I'm so fascinated by these characters, and even wrote a story where the main character discovers a p
