Whoa. I mean whoa. I don't know if it's because of the horoscope or the native charms or just plain good luck, but holy fucking shit. I won't go quite into detail in my personal life, partly because you might not believe it. However, I will say this. The past couple of days outside the net, have benefitted me greatly. I was out of a major financial debt, allowing me to save more money, minor lucks such as winning at a bingo game, became more frequent. I was able to avoid so much drama and somehow even put an end to some through my presence. But the result of what has happened to me, most importantly allowed me to dump a lot of baggage in my life. I feel more positive, spiritual, more happy. I don't know how long this shit is gonna last, but I'm enjoying it while I can.
That being said, I figured it out. I figured out the secret to having a good life. Funny enough it is actually quite simple, but a lot of people are too stubborn to try, because it seems too good to be true.
- Always have a positive attitude towards each day of your life. Sometimes bad things happen, but no matter how bad they are, things could have been worse. But never let it ruin the rest of your good day. Sometimes, good things come around the corner. Which has happened to me, for the past few months, which was why I wasn't doing new content lately. I was overwhelmed at what happened with me, that net drama or even advertising my music, never felt like work to me anymore. I can ignore the drama here because I dealt with real life drama, that makes this pale in comparison. As long as the person you're fighting against, doesn't threaten bodily harm on you, then you have nothing to worry about.
- Good Deeds are not just rewarded, they are a test of character. Something as simple as sparing small change to your fellow citizen will go a long way, because this random act of kindness, will never be forgotten be it by that person or those that witness your good deeds. Not because you deserve reward, which you do, but because it shows what your character is like and it goes a long way. On this site and in real life I try to do my best to show character, doing good deeds for people no matter the risk or reward, as I feel I do the right thing. Maybe some disagree, but who gives a shit anymore. I know I have people that agree with me and that's enough and I can accept others don't agree and come to their own bullshit conclusions about me. They're not worth fighting anymore. The only thing that's worth it in life is doing what you can to help yourself and help others in need, in your personal circles be it here or at the comfort of your own home. As well as try your hardest to pursue you're dream goals. Just recently I received such much needed closure about my personal life. As a result. All the baggage I ever carried with me in my overall life way before Newgrounds even existed, has long since melted away. I am more calmer, more mellow, more at peace and I strive to keep that going. It was like I was able to turn my life around in a good way, by just being at the right place at the right time. I can't quite explain it, but I don't think I'm the only one that's lucky. And while not all good deeds get rewarded, luck rewards us in many other ways. We just have to see it.
- Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty if you have to. Now as an artist, I am obligated to tell you that I do not condone crime or violence whatsoever, even in the name of justice. I may make a bloodthirsty superhero trio fight an equally blood thirsty supervillain duo, but let's face it that stuff is a little tricky to do in real life and believe me I did want to be a Superhero when I grew up. Lol. Now having said that, as a human being whom grew up in one of Canada's most dangerous cities, for around 26 to maybe 27 years of my life, I honestly believe of all places, that place should be fought for by every citizen in town. Be it the crime wave it boasts about or the law itself or even average parents and workers that are sick to death of living in fear. So needless to say if it happens to the people that deserve it, I wouldn't protest against it. That being said after witnessing all that stuff with my very eyes I can safely say I've been noticing a few changes. Citizens have been fighting back, Police are cracking down on bad elements and even certain elements on the other side are turning against those taking things too far. Since then, people were able to walk the streets a little safer. The law may not respect it, out of obligation and I respect that, but that said, I respect anyone with the guts to fight back in what they believe in by any means necessary. That being said, there is an alternative to crime in terms of Justice and revenge, something I prefer because it doesn't lead to violence and war you simply do the following: Make friends with the people you know in your heart you can trust, test them at every turn to keep them in check based on the flaws you both address, make more friends, rinse, repeat and you basically got yourself a circle of friends, some probably family. Use your respective talents to fight in other ways. Like say if one's a lawyer, they could find a way to sue your enemy. Or if one's a doctor, they could cancel that person's prescription. Point being is that no matter where you go in life you'll always have people to back you up.
- Treat every day like it's your last. No matter what people say, we must anticipate the notion that one day, you're gonna die. Whether it's cancer or other diseases, old age, accidents, murder, suicide whatever the case may be, you shouldn't be afraid of the fact that you're gonna die, you shouldn't even fear how you're gonna die.....unless it really FUCKING hurts. What we should be doing is celebrating with what little or lot of life we have left to spend, give and enjoy. Even if bad things happen your way, so what, you're a lot better than you think you are and you can bounce back.
Throughout the past 26 years I seemed to have thought my luck has run out, now I think it only just begun.
Take care, stay safe and Good Luck. Hopefully I'll come up with something that really pops.

Always. I was too naive to see it as a kid, but it's always been bad, however with the strange happenings that have been happening lately, I don't think so anymore.
As for two. To summarize. Good Deeds are rewarded in ways that are more than mere material. For example, let's say you lend some small change to a friend, trusting them to pay you back. Now you expect the person to pay the equal amount of money that they owe you. Only to find out that whatever change you gave your friend, contributed to a lottery ticket or a contest won, where the prize makes the change you were expecting look like peanuts in comparison and said friend happens to want to share said prize with the friend that helped him out before. It's not the prize itself, but the person that gives it to you. It comes from the heart, because they're thinking of you.
In terms of whether or not you're doing the right thing, trust your gut, your close circle, but don't give a crap what outsiders of that circle think. It may be risky sometimes, but you may often end up being right.
