More News About My Life

Well, I figured I would put this off a bit longer, as it's not really anything that most of my readers and (former) YouTube subscribers will notice after it's said and done. However, in the interest of keeping people informed, I think it's worth mentioning.

On June 10th, I'll be relocating from my current residence in Central Pennsylvania to Northern New York State. The past year has been rather crazy, and I'm hoping that the move will be an opportunity for a fresh start. My biggest concern in all of this is the fact that, with the injury to my hand, which I discussed in last week's post, finding treatment in New York, from a physician that understands my case, will be a bit difficult. I have an appointment scheduled on the 3rd of June to have the cast removed, but I'll need to have surgery again about 4 to 6 weeks after that, to have the steel implant removed. The doctor here has requested that I consider making a special trip back to PA for that surgery. With the price of gas, however, that's easier said than done.

At this point, I'll go ahead and make further mention of the donation button on the right. I don't like asking for a hand-out, but I also realize that it's sometimes best to let those kind and generous people in the world (how few they may be) to provide some help. All of the money donated between now and July will be used to help with my moving costs, with whatever I have left used to help me get back to PA in late July for my appointment, if needed. Anything left after that will be used to help me in a full-time job search in New York. Again, I have no expectations, no goal to reach, and nothing much to offer those who can donate. However, I will say that your help will be greatly appreciated, and will no doubt provide further motivation for me to resume my YouTube production, once I'm completely mended.

That's all I really have to say, at this point. Thanks for reading. :)

Still Alive...

It's been a while... Sorry for the disappearing act, guys. Real life has intervened in a big way, lately, and I haven't had the time, or, more importantly, the ambition, to do much of anything related to the internet, other than looking for ways to make a decent income. On that note, I'll point out that the donation button from my last post has been permanently placed on the right. Now, I don't expect anything, but any amount that could be donated would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding my disappearance from YouTube. I ended up deleting my channel, again. Reasons? Well, I can't say. I call it an "internet identity crisis", where I had difficultly reconciling my motives for creating content on YouTube, and the reality that I wasn't exactly meeting my expectations. Those expectations have been adjusted, and I hope to get back into the game with YouTube and video game Let's Plays, in the semi-near future. Stay tuned for more information!

In real life, I'll share a bit of inconvenient news. Around the beginning of April, I broke my left hand. It was a fairly serious fracture of the third metacarpal (the bone that connects the middle finger to the wrist), which required surgical reduction, and insertion of a steel rod to hold the bone in place while it heals. Fortunately, everything is going well. Since the surgery, I've retained nearly complete use of my hand, aside from overly-strenuous activity. I'm actually able to touch-type this post, with no discomfort. I'm in a cast for the next 3 to 4 weeks.

Also, tomorrow is my birthday! I will be turning 24.
