Happy Easter to you and an update!

Greetings, readers. It has been a few days since I’ve posted an entry here. Well, changes are coming. I tried to make a video entry to copy and paste here, but it said that I had to go premium. 😡 

I had been toying with the idea of making a second YouTube channel for my blog to switch over to. As soon as I set that vlog channel up, I of course will post the URL here. I know that in my year absence from blogging, I’ve lost many of my readers. Hopefully I can gain some new viewers on YouTube. 😉 

My gaming channel [JMKGamer1965] on YouTube is a little over a month old and already I have 13 subscribers…, plus myself. [Lol] I need to see on my phone if the latest video did upload. Video # 42 will go up this afternoon. 🙂 

Until soonest, my friends, take care, have a great weekend, love one another, end war and conflict, hug your pet and as always, happy reading. 

BATMAN! :-D

Greetings, readers. Finally, I feel well enough to have a full day of things to do on the docket. I’m not certain what was going on the last few days with me, but I would do one chore and then I’d be tired as all get out. 😦 However, now I’m feeling much better and it’s time for a new entry. Today I’m going to write about my favorite TV show when I was a child; BATMAN, the classic 1960s series starring Adam West and Burt Ward. 

There have been many incarnations of Batman from comic books to classic movies to recent box office hits. There have also been numerous cartoon series, but none of these were as delightful and fun as the 1960s series. It was a kind of a spoof. This Batman and Robin were not only ready to defeat the criminals but had a ‘teaching moment’ in each episode. What do I mean by that? The dynamic duo always taught younger viewers [their target audience], to be good citizens, be kind, not to litter, obey traffic laws etc. It was great fun and Adam West went over the top in his acting style. And of course, we cannot forget the famous Batusi, his disco style dance in the series premier. 

Famous actors and actresses wanted to do guest villain appearances. Most notably, Cesar Romero as The Joker, Burgess Meredith as The Penguin, Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt as The Catwoman. My favorite was Frank Gorshin as The Riddler. Many other people had one or two appearances. Shelley Winters was my favorite lesser used villains. She played Ma Parker, once, perhaps twice. 

In the third season came the character, Batgirl. Yvonne Craig played the rather sexy character. Barbara Gordon, the daughter of the police commissioner, was her regular identity. There was a hint of a possible love interest between Bruce Wayne and Barbara. I personally think that if the series got a fourth season, that story arch might have been developed. 😉 

Ok folks. There you go. I hope you enjoy this post. It was fun to write. Until Wednesday, take care, love one another, brighten someone’s day and as always, happy reading. 

Sorry folks. Wasn’t feeling well.

Greetings, readers. So very sorry for no entry yesterday. After making a new YouTube video for the channel, I became severely drained of energy. I thought that I’d eat lunch and I would be good as new. This is what happened…., 😴

Well, today’s a work day at the Good Day Cafe. So, I will put up a new entry tomorrow afternoon…, promise! 😉

Until then, take care, love another, do an act of kindness, and as always, happy reading. 😀

How my mind can play tricks on me

Greetings, readers. I had a larger than usual lunch today and while watching YouTube afterwards, felt myself getting drowsy. So, down for a nap I went. I must have slept sounder than normal, because for the first few minutes, I thought it was tomorrow morning! 🥴 

After my fuzziness cleared, I remembered that I had forgotten an appointment and had to reschedule. 😦 Now, I can concentrate on writing my blog post and getting a new gaming video up on the channel. So far, the JMKGamer1965 YouTube channel is a success! Do I have 10,000 subscribers or a video with a million views? No, but for a channel that’s only a month old…, if that, I’m about where I ought to be. 🙂 

Getting back to my title. During the long days of summer when I was a child, when it was light at five in the morning, I peeked at my alarm clock, expecting it to be 7AM. Surprise, I still have two hours to sleep. Yes…, I set my alarm for seven. During summer, I wanted maximum outside side. If I was tired, I’d go to bed earlier the night before. 

Another instance is when I play my truck sim game. The game’s days and nights are short. A game minute equals only four seconds in real time! I have begun recording a video at three in the afternoon and by the time I’m at my drop-off point, it’s 10PM in the game. My mind is now all goofed up and I’m sleepy. When I turn the game off and look at my desk clock and it’s 2:45PM, my brain has to wrap itself around the fact that I’ll still be up for a few hours. 

Well, I’ve babbled enough about this topic. I won’t beat it with a wet noodle anymore. Lol. Until Friday, take care, have a great couple of days, love one another, do an act of kindness, and as always, happy reading. 

A Monday surprise for you all!

Greetings, readers. Here are 2 video baseball games I’ve recorded for my gaming channel. Please Subscribe to my channel if you’d like [not just baseball & family friendly]. Also like and share. Thank you! Enjoy and happy…., viewing!

Review of the game, Tavern Master

Greetings, readers. I’ve not done a game review in a very long time. So, here are my thoughts and my review on an independent game called Tavern Master. The game, from 2021, released by Untitled Studio and Whisper Studios, is a game set in Mid-evil London where you are the proprietor of a tavern and inn. The characters look a lot like Lego people, but it is simplistically fascinating. I have caught myself playing it for an hour or two at a time before. 😉 

You begin with a small, unfinished building. First, go ahead and complete the building, hire three servers and a bartender, name your tavern and your set to proceed to your first day in business. The tavern’s prestige score and weather dictate how many daily patrons you’ll receive. You start with beer and water, however after doing research [ click on a tab], you can get beverages, food, bathrooms, inn rooms and a guard. 🙂 

Your guard is vital! If you don’t hire one, eventually a thief will come in the cloak of darkness and rob one or more of your barrels of liquid profit. Like in any other business game, the whole object is to turn a profit. The higher levels your staff reach, the more coins per day they want. If you don’t pay them enough, they could get sad, angry and then quit! Also, keep an eye on your customers. If they wait too long for their drinks, they might storm off! 😦 

Eventually I hope to have enough staff and money to add a washroom and inn rooms. I have already done so in a mode called, ‘sandbox’. Here you have unlimited money and available space to expand. right now, this game is on sale on Steam gaming for $7.49 U.S. It’s 50% off during the Steam spring sale! 😀 

I give this game a very high rating of 8/10 stars. It’s very enjoyable and its sister game, Blacksmith Master, is coming out soon. Until next week, have a great weekend, take care, do an act of kindness, and as always, happy reading. 

A call to my neurologist is in order later today

Greetings, readers. A funny thing happened on the way to the kitchen to get milk for my meds. I remember opening the milk jug…, and then, there’s milk on the floor and milk on me! My pajama bottoms were chocolate covered and so was my right sock. So, before pills, the mop was retrieved and the chocolate lake on the kitchen floor was tidied. Not how I enjoy waking up. I like to wake up slowly. 😉 

The weird thing was that I did not fall. I was right in the same spot; by the sink. After dumping the brand new, unopened container of chocolate moo, I put my unused cup and the jug in the sink. I must have had some consciousness, but control or memory was off. 😦 

This has only happened once before to me. It was at a Denny’s restaurant, many years ago. I’ll check in with my neurologist today. I’m to report any odd occurrences. I do believe that this qualifies. 

After I rest my eyes, I’m going to make a short gaming video for my JMKGamer1965 YouTube channel. Then, it’s laundry day and of course, I’ll have to buy some new milk. Luckily there is a store just down the hill from my apartment building. 🙂 

Until Friday, when hopefully I can give you a quick update, take good care, don’t take your health for granted, love one another, do an act of kindness and as always, happy reading. 😀 

14 views in only 4 hours!

Greetings, readers. After a bleak first few weeks of not many views for any video, a new video, which was only meant to be a ‘graphics check’, has turned out to be hot. Yes, 14 views in just 4 hours!!! 🙂 Whoo hoot! 

Just beginning my YouTube channel [JMKGamer1965], I realize that I’m not going to get 10,000 subscribers overnight. I have 9…, 1 being myself, so I can see on my phone if I get a notification for the latest video posted. After many failed recording attempts, I’ve mastered the secret of what button to push and not to push to begin a recording. 😉 

As I have mentioned in other blog posts, I am great at beginning things and not so fantastic at finishing them. I think this channel may catch on. I do quite a bit of gaming. Why not let other folks enjoy my games. I had to start using a rating system. One video, filmed yesterday, got off to such a horrendous beginning and I lost my temper a bit. My channel is ‘family friendly’. That video got a PG rating in the description. 😦 

Am I going to quit my job at the cafe and work full time on videos? No. To begin to bring any monetary gains from YouTube, you must have a certain number of subscribers and a few other ‘boxes’ to check off. I am nowhere near that point…, yet. One day, I hope to be. Also, selling merchandise, or merch as it’s called these days, is an intricate part of YouTube success. Time will tell if there are going to be tee shirts with my face on them, or a fancy logo, for sale. You never know. 😀 

There you have it for today. Until Tuesday or Wednesday, take care, have a blessed weekend, do an act of kindness, love one another, and as always, happy reading. 

Strike three & other malfunctions today

Greetings, readers. No, I’m talking about a baseball video game, but it’s close. Last evening and twice today, I tried to record a video of American Truck Simulator for my YouTube channel. [JMKGamer1965] Thrice, I thought I was recording, but I was not. I know that the app, Outplayed works because I’ve made a few gaming videos already with it. That’s what is so maddening. After a brief nap and some early supper, I might try one more time to record and upload the video to my channel. 

The other issue going on with me is what I believe to be a tooth infection. My right cheek looks like a squirrel with winter nuts stored in it. First, I need an antibiotic to get rid of the infection. Then, I can find a new dentist to try to either save the tooth or pull it. I tried calling a walk-in type of medical facility, but they didn’t pick up. I tried that because sitting in the emergency room for hours just to be told, “We don’t do teeth”, is not my idea of a fun day off. 

On a good note, kitty cat, Josie has recovered from her UTI. She is much happier and healthier, after I literally took a hammer and smashed the pill into powder before putting it in a Pill Pocket treat. I can and did overcome that problem. 😉 

Lastly today is an update on my new blog schedule. Mondays don’t seem to work out very well for me. Please continue to expect blog posts on Wednesdays and Fridays. If I can get a third one out, I shall certainly do it. 🙂 

Until Friday, I bid you all a wonderful couple of days, please hug your family members & your pets, do an act of kindness for somebody, and as always, happy reading. 😀 

What does it mean when you’re almost never hungry?

Greetings, readers. Yes, I’ve asked myself that question many times. It seems as if, whether I am lounging around the apartment or going from store to store on shopping day, I almost never have an appetite. I eat enough to sustain me…, just barely sometimes. Is it depression? Maybe. 

Some people eat and eat when they’re depressed. I think I might be just the opposite. I’ll snack on junk food while watching TV or maybe get a Panera mac & cheese, but a three-course meal with soup, meat, vegetables and dessert…, not since this past Thanksgiving! 

Money issues, stresses from work, holding my own as I deal with Cerebral Palsy, and other hassles take their toll on me. I know that everybody has daily problems and stresses, but when the dinner bell is rung, most people come running. 

I am trying to get my YouTube channel going and I would give my efforts a C-. Not from any lack of effort, it’s just the recording app, Outplayed and my older computer are fighting. Even after turning the quality to lowest, for better frame rates, the video got glitchy halfway through my Uno game video. Yes, I have Uno on the Steam gaming platform. 😉 

I’m going to my doctors soon and will bring up all my physical and emotional symptoms. Hopefully, they can get a grasp on what’s going on. Until Monday, do take care, love one another, hug your pet, do an act of kindness, and as always, happy reading. 🙂
