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!

Never Too late! (Thoughts on Baptism and Life Right Now)

      Today I find myself in the strange position that happens every now and then when the video game news cycle slows down a bit, and I haven't played enough of any games or watched anything enough to truly give my two cents on them. I'm forced to sit a little while with myself and think on some of the important things that are going on in my life, and in the lives of so many. I've recently made my decision to join the church that I'm active in, and getting baptized on top of that. I'm now 30, and many are baptized in the Baptist tradition when they're in their teens if not before. I've been thinking a lot about this decision for a long time, and I'm not sure why right now is the right time, but I'm glad that I'm doing it. I hope that I'll be able to state my intent here and my reasoning in a meaningful and concise way. If you've read my stuff before, you'll know that keeping things concise is something of a challenge for me, but we...

What does it mean to show yourself?

     Hey friends. It feels like these personal posts are coming up much more often now, especially since I am working on a few different courses related to potential vocational calling and betterment, and I hope you won't mind another writing about the things that I'm wrestling with right now. The upside for some of you is that this post will most likely not be quite as long as some that I've written in the past. The classes that I'm taking are making me explore just what it means to be searching. What am I called to, what am I called away from, etc. Many questions have related with me through different songs, weirdly from Disney movies. If you know me, then you actually know that it's not that weird for me to be relating things to Disney (I have my red Disney shirt on even as I type this). The first week, as we were first talking about "doing the next right thing," of course, I thought of the song "Do the next right thing" from Frozen 2, the nex...

What is the next right thing?

     Hey friends, I have a question for you all today. How do you know when you're ready to take the next step? In any situation, be it a romantic relationship, a job that you want to become more involved with, a project that you want to do, how do you know when you're ready for it? Sometimes these realizations come in moments where things seem the bleakest that they've ever looked, when a change has to be made, or you'll be crushed. In the smash box office hit, Frozen 2, Anna faces a similar situation.      Elsa is dead, Olaf has come undone without Elsa's magic, Kristoff hasn't been in the movie for the past 40 minutes because the writers didn't know what to do with him in this film. Anna doesn't know if there's any way back from what has occurred to her friends or family, her life seems completely hopeless. It would be so easy for her to just give in to the feeling of helplessness and just cry, but instead she focuses on the need to keep going and...
