Like an abandoned outpost broadcasting out in the blogging wasteland, sending out dispatches one blog post at a time.
How are they getting away with this? It's 2026 already and they still keep cranking out hit after hit. This song reminds me of when i first discovered them all those years ago.
I've been running all my life tryin' to find who I am and I'm sick of it. Yeah, I'd give anything if I could quit. But I can't stop until it all makes sense.
So I spend some nights just staring at the sky wondering why I am even here. And I challenge, God, Himself to prove he's there, and for a moment I don't feel so scared.
I, don't think I can be the same, it makes me want to change, and go the other way.
Everyone at one point has probably had the same thoughts. This song is deep and so underrated. I'm so glad I rediscovered it today.
Cannot believe I've never heard this song until this year! Never even heard the original, but this collab with Bowling For Soup sounds really good. Such a super catchy and fun song to listen to!

You're slowly fading away. You're lost and so afraid. And you ask, where is the hope, in a world so cold?
You're looking for a distant light, someone who can save a life. You're living in fear, that no one will hear your cry: Can you save me now?
I am with you. I will carry you through it all. I won't leave you. I will catch you, when you feel like letting go, because you're not alone.
Your heart is full of broken dreams. Just a fading memory. And everything's gone, but the pain carries on.
Lost in the rain again, when will it ever end? The arms of relief, seem so out of reach, but I, I am here.
I am with you. I will carry you through it all. I won't leave you. I will catch you, when you feel like letting go, because you're not alone.
And I will be your hope, when you feel like it's over.
And I will pick you up, when your whole world shatters.
And when you're finally in my arms, look up and see, love has a face.
I am with you. I will carry you through it all. I won't leave you. I will catch you, when you feel like letting go, because you're not alone.
~ God
A beautiful, uplifting message, isn't it? Those are lyrics from the song “Not Alone” by Red.

Cannot stop listening to this live performance from Mayonnaise. Hangin by the way translates to “Wind” in English.

It's been awhile since my last entry. I was hoping to write something for this series more frequently, but things got really busy and so here we are. A number of notable things happened in between that I wanted to write about.
Starting off with... I have a new rule for this series of blog posts; all journal entries should be written impromptu or on the spot. This means not copying previously written down notes or entries from my digital or bullet journal.
This is how I originally started writing journal entries in the past by the way. I would login to write.as at night and write a journal entry based on what was in my head at that time.
More of a brain dump, versus a routine that involved going over previous journal entries, then compiling them into one big journal entry/blog post.
Over time, as I got more into bullet journaling, this practice of writing a journal entry on the spot went away. It was replaced by writing a journal entry based on entries I've written down on my bullet journal or daily logs in Obsidian.
At first it was great. I had so much material, so many thoughts and ideas to write about. But as time went by, I noticed that blogging this way became more like a job for me. I lost that excitement that you get with writing something on the spot and then immediately sharing it online. Not to mention, it was a chore having to go through and filter previous daily log entries to find something I can copy or write about.
I'm not saying this method of writing is bad. It's just that for me, it was no longer working. It was no longer keeping the spark for blogging alive that is. And so that's why I'm going back to more impromptu writing with this series.
Most people do some kind of “year in review” posts. I thought I'd start something a little different. Here's a list of the best experiences I came across in 2025. I hope other people pick this up and do their own “Best of 2025” posts as well.
Brought my kids to watch this movie, but ended up thoroughly enjoying this myself. It's a great retelling of the story of Jesus, based off a story or book that Charles Dickens wrote for his kids. The twist in this movie is that, it is portrayed in such a way where a kid walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice.
This game has somewhat ruined the traditional turn based JRPG genre for me. It revolutionizes the genre so much, modernized it, that I have a hard time going back to the traditional JRPG experience. I've actually tried to play the older Final Fantasy games and found them to be boring. It's totally unfair of me to judge old games this way, but this just shows how much Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has changed my expectations of games going forward.
This started out as a Remark.as response to this post from Ernest Ortiz. Once it became long enough, I decided to make it a proper blog post instead.
So, here's my response to his question about my “writer's carry”:
Interesting, I've never heard it called a “writer's carry”, but it does make sense.
I used to write down my thoughts and ideas on my bullet journal. That habit slowly faded away once I started using Obsidian on my phone. Since my bullet journal is too big to carry around with me all the time, I still primarily write down thoughts and ideas on my phone first. But lately, I've been trying to get back to more analog writing, and have been writing to my bullet journal more.
I currently have a navy blue Bullet Journal, the official one that is a collab with Leuchtterm1917. As for my pen, I alternate between a Uni Jetstream pen and a Zebra Sarasa pen. Everywhere else where I can't easily write into my bullet journal, I use Obsidian on my phone.

This one's a good one! With good headphones, it really sounds like there's a downpour outside. Good for focusing at work too, which is what I'm using it for right now.

...trying too hard Maybe we're torn apart Maybe the timing Is beating our hearts We're empty
This song has aged well. Still so good!
