Yesterday, the blog did not go live. Turns out that it is just a bit more work until it is ready. Like the introduction of TeamSpeak (a popular voice chat program between the ages of Skype and Discord), it probably is confusing to use at first but then it just becomes a groove to fit into. Life is kinda like that too, because we can’t plan out each day with nearly as much certainty as we want per year. If we want to go skydiving before the next year, it feels pretty easy. Worse comes to worst, it will just be a birthday celebration. Planning to skydive right now or even just today is not so simple. Some things need to be planned ahead, even if it seems like it needs to be done immediately. Not to say that we should all procrastinate on everything.

Anyways, I need to finish this blog, or at least the starting steps. Currently struggling with a good domain. Also, I do not know how WordPress really works. I don’t know what Bluehost does and I spent a couple hundred for it to stick around 3 years. [Editor’s note: I kinda like it given this is my first time with a site-builder, and I caught on within the first two days as a complete beginner.] Either way, gotta plan stuff out just like I plan for this whole blog to stick around at LEAST 3 years. Pretty daunting task; it sounds like over 1000 days of blogging. I see some channels struggle to stay consistent for 100 days or even 30 days. Guess I have a lot on my plate.

If I take it day by day, it’s like choosing what food to eat daily. I choose what to write each day like a meal. The cravings might dictate how I feel and what I want, like what kind of genre or category I’d want to write. Maybe it is a lament, rant, poem, or who knows. We won’t know and I definitely don’t know, but what I do know is that I know that I know a lot. Because I know what I know, I know that what I know is no no-no, just no nonsense, and who knows better than you, you know?

[Mini rant: plus they make it so hard to start this website stuff. You pay for services and they scare you with a free domain. I don’t know if I even confirmed the right domain or not because they gave me a temporary one and I tried switching to the one I wanted but then I deleted it because it was not working. There is no SSL certification and I don’t even know what it all means and I am like… ugh, tomorrow or something.]

[H. Crow figured it out later that day, sorta.]

At the dawn of time, much happened. For some, it was the beginning of all. For me, it was when I was born. Either way, today marks the birth of a blog and today, April 9th, 2025 is its birthday. In all honesty, the blog part I haven’t started yet, but this writing was done in the morning like I said I would [to myself]. I plan to make a story or post every morning and another at night if necessary. Why a blog of all things? Well, it is no random event. I am what they call a ‘yapper’. It means I can’t shut up. Whether I would be going a mile a minute in my head or on a keyboard, it was never a choice at all. After all, I just woke up.

Sure, I might even plug in my friends as little advertisements and also any other people who want a little more reach. I might put a song for one or each of the notes that reflects how I felt writing it. I may even get a little technical with the webpage. Truthfully, I just hope people enjoy the content. When I think of successful webpages, I think Neopets, Newgrounds, Homestuck, and even Tumblr. To think ANYONE clicked on this post and got this far is insane to me, and I wouldn’t believe it is true. Well, I hope you enjoy it because I hope I enjoy the process for the rest of this little show’s shelf life. I hope you enjoy my grammar and punctuation too, and don’t be afraid to point out inconsistencies. I am sure I can make minor adjustments for better readability. Nonetheless, it is today that I do all the hard work to follow guides and tutorials on how to start my first webpage so wish the person in between this post and the next some luck, cause he probably needs it.
