Starting Over

Howdy all. It's been a long time since I've made a post here. A lot has happened in the interim - I started and stopped streaming, that was pretty crazy. I've met a lot of new people online and made new friends. I got into Lain. I've been with my partner for almost 10 years now(!!)

 

But what does any of that mean for this blog? Well to be frank, nothing. But I feel like I've changed as a person over these last almost 10 years since my last post. When I started this blog I had originally wanted it to be professional and organized and honestly even maybe something I could make money with. Given how rapidly the internet has changed in recent years though those sorts of thoughts have drifted further and further from my mind - I want to get away from social media. I want a place where I can just muse my thoughts, share the things I think are cool and overall just have a good time. 

So with a heavy heart, this blogs original form, JoekerStraightFlush, is no more. I always hated the name anyway, to be honest. I'll be keeping all previous posts up, though. Mind, my opinions then don't necessarily reflect my current opinions or me as a person now. A lot of time has passed, things change, people change. 

What kind of content can you expect to see? Anything, honestly. If I play a cool game and want to gush about it, watch a cool show, read a book and need to get my thoughts out. Do note that this is actually just a stop gap for now - I'm working on another website but I'm still new to HTML and it's taking a lot to wrap my head around. In the meantime, I want a place to muse my thoughts away and after a lot of thought and experimenting decided this was the best way.

 

Thanks for reading, if you did. I'm glad to have somewhere to share my thoughts again.
