So, they gardening season has started for me. Most of my plants are coming up. I am excited about my Sweet Corn popping up so fast.
3 sprouts of 250 =D

This is actually interesting, If I am reading this right. I am getting about 2,000 XP a day from all my builds? The spikes obviously being when I post something new

Squirt (front), and Mini sharing a chair. Squirt don't look thrilled about having to share XD

Just finished up reading the 51st book I have on my shelf. Now to the one My mom said I would never get through, that is slightly smaller in page count than the other one she said would be "too boring to read" that I read some time ago lol

I probably shouldn't let my PMC feed stack up for 3 days.... It took me a half hour of constant scrolling/liking. I'm still not through, and my hand hurts D=

Being kind of quiet on PMC atm... Been putting all my concentration on building for a possible weekend release of the Bagger288.

*Running in the 90's intro playing in the distance as I build*

Work has begun on the last part of this build. Still looking at a week or so I think

*Coming soon*.. Hopefully :P

Was curious as to how many blocks I have placed in the past 3-4 years. So I selected my entire vehicles world, and subtracted the air blocks. I came up with approx 1,340,959 blocks across all my vehicles. Which for some reason I actually find sorta underwhelming lol

Got everything for the garden planted now :) Its been so rainy, had to squeeze it all in between rain, sometimes I got done minutes before the rain.
Planted: 8lbs of Yukon gold potatoes, a whole bag of yellow onions, Autumn gold pumpkins, sugar snap peas (under tight lock down in wire cage because of some wild rabbits XD), 250 sweet corn seeds of Bi-color variety, Carrots, lettuce, Cucumbers, Sunflowers, and 4 tomato plants. I was going to get 10 or 11 tomato plant, and some pepper plants, but they are so expensive =0.

Someday when I have my own place. I want to branch out into fruit trees, and fruit vines/ bushes, as well as animals

You all are probably going to be tired of me posting about it till I am finished. I am just short of having worked on the Bagger288 for a month now. I am about a little over half way done. Currently standing at 57,509 blocks! I really am excited for the end product, but that can only take time

Was trying to cut a board with a handsaw for the garden today, but the saw was dull. So I got frustrated and gave the board a pitch to go get my power saw... When It landed, it broke where I was trying to cut it.

Experimenting with Large letters on signs. Also I realize that the ETTX lettering denotes that my auto rack is a "Tri-Level", when mine actually only has two levels. So it should be lettered "TTGX". I only realized this after I built and posted it, don't go to hard on me XD

I was just thinking.
  When we say we're going somewhere and say we are "Going: "up to ___" or "Down to___". Like : "I am going up to the store, or I am going down to work". I have noticed that when I use it I use it interchangeably with no reference to its actual location on a map, or physical elevation. So what gives? What is the whole up or down about? and what makes us choose one over the other?

My mom: "My phone is slow, been freezing, and hasn't been acting right"
Me: "Let me see" *picks up phone*
Her open apps and tabs*

Showing off progress on the Bagger288, by using mainly just the shadow =0 :P

When I looking at builds in MC and I spot one of my vehicles in the distance

One thing I always wanted for some reason if I ever owned my own Truck. Would be to put one of those shark teeth cutouts on the grill, coupled with a V drop visor. Then run Led lights around both. So when you go down the road at night your truck just looks like >: ᓬ



Surely someone has had to do this before

For some reason, every once in awhile. I will fall asleep early, and wake up in a panic because I am incredibly late for work. But then realize its 8:47PM, not Am XD

Alrighty, I'm no longer a moderator. I made a mistake years prior, and it's come back to snatch me down - I won't dive into details, but I understand what's happened, and for anyone who wonders "Why did they step down?", it was an understandable result, with me lacking any way to properly reference or discuss something that happened five years prior, so it's completely reasonable. :) Not that I'm happy, sure, but it's reasonable, and I want that to be absolutely clear. It's been great contributing to the moderation team, and I hope those still present engage happily enough too.

Cyprezz is an excellent owner, and I want it to be known he really does support everyone getting along, mediating tensions, being friendly and such- Trying to (and rather successfully) fostering a community that's diverse and often clashing while still hopefully kind and supportive enough. A respectable, admirable challenge; he just wants everyone to get along, and that's great! I have no regrets from my time as a moderator, bar the fact it's over now - and that is what it is. Most who see this probably didn't see me often nowadays, but if you do know me, hey! It was great working in this position, helping to make the community a little happier along the way, and making my own fair share of accidental errors too (as moderation always has), while trying to overall have a good impact on the site. :) Thanks for the time.

I'm not going anywhere, though - I'll still be here, as a member. Just not moderating!

So, I'll use this opportunity as a bit of inspiration/advice for other people:

• Your actions matter. You may not think it, but a mistake, error, sin, making an enemy of someone- Anything like that has lasting repercussions, which go further than just a single month, week, or even day or hour of your life. Take care, and try to make choices you'll be happy with in the future. When you aren't sure what to do in a situation and all options look to be bad, think about the long term effects it may have on everyone involved. Yourself especially. Look after yourself, and remember that actions you make last.
• Seek peace with people you speak with. Even if you don't like someone much, aim to get along with them if possible. Find ways to ease tensions, to see eye to eye. To make friends, or at least to not be at odd's ends with someone. You may have wildly different views on how life works, or there may even be a major problem at hand, but it's never worth raising tensions with someone to make them an enemy. A huge part of looking after yourself and others is respecting the differences between people. This can be difficult, as a lot of walks of life clash inherently, but if you can find this kind of peace, you're already going to be better off for it.
• Be nice. Self-explanatory, with the other two above: Coldness of any sort can genuinely catch up to you. Try to be a kind person, even while you're still growing and learning. It's difficult, and mistakes will happen along the way, but so long as someone's trying, the mistakes shouldn't be too bad.
• Believe in yourself. Even if things look tough and you're starting to doubt how to move forwards with life, remember that you can still succeed. So long as life is continuing, there's still some hope to make it through and overcome the hurdles you face. Do not let anything take away from that confidence and determination to grow, persevere, and make life your own to be happy with.
• Mistakes happen. That doesn't mean to accept and ignore the weight of the mistakes, but it does mean to remember not to beat yourself up if you do something wrong. Try to mediate tensions with involved people, apologise, see what you can do to recover from the mistake, and overall just keep working to grow as a person. We aren't defined by our mistakes; we are more than just the small parts of what makes us people. Look out for yourselves, and try to accept your errors, while not dragging yourself down with them. They are not the shackles dragging you down; they are just parts of this walk of life. Some will even be pretty bad mistakes, but if life's still ongoing, you can still change, and you can still grow, and there's still hope for you.
• There's always hope. Like the above two points, even when something's still reaching for you after a long time, there's always hope to change and develop. There's always hope to find new friends, new communities, new job opportunities- Nothing is destined to fall apart entirely, purely based on the past. The present and future will be influenced by the past, but your own actions can change and influence them too. You're never hopeless. Never. There's always a future.
• Seek help and advice. This is perhaps the hardest thing to do when so few people know how to make it through their own lives, but the reality is we're all learning and trying to make our own journeys. It isn't easy, and it never will be. There's no-one who fully grasps everything they have in life, yeah? But, you can at least seek to hear what others think about life, comparing it with your own journeys, seeking for support and encouragement to try to make your own life better, and perhaps theirs too in the process. We all have thoughts worth sharing (and thoughts that aren't worth sharing, haha. We're all complex, after all).
• Never stop learning. As said, we'll never be perfect. Always keep trying to grow. I can't promise it'll matter in some situations, as sometimes regardless of how much you've done you'll still get into problems based on a lesser-capable version of you's choices, however you should still always try to grow, because while some situations are dead-ended, it will open the door to potential options which aren't. There's hope for you. For everyone. It may feel hard to find right now, but in this society, there's no point where someone has no possible way to hope, to care for themself, to hold up a job, friends, a community- There's always hope. Keep growing, keep taking care, and keep trying to work forwards with life.

There's a bit more I think I'd be interested in rambling about, but this is already quite long and the post is partly motivation for myself, and ideally, motivation for others too. :) Life's tough, but there's always a path forwards. Don't let the complexities of this world make you feel helpless; you can always grow.
Even if it feels really tough.

Take care. :)

Always seek to take care.

You may not know what for, but future you may well thank you for doing it. :)
