Talking about my love for coffee

I made this little website about my love for coffee. Coffee really is life. I can't imagine life without it. 

I started making these little mini web pages, to link to YouTube videos and stuff like that.

They're just fun to make. I could talk about coffee all day long, though. It's one of my top 5 favorite things to drink.

How I love my brew

I drink black coffee most of the time. I just like it without things added to it. That's how I enjoy it the most, so I can enjoy the flavor of it.

Can you imagine life without coffee? I can't. What a dull existence that would be. Coffee is definitely a staple of American culture. 

Americans love to drink it

Not just American, though. So many countries around the world enjoy a cup of Joe! Coffee has become a staple for a large percentage of people. People drink this glorious drink in the morning to get a pick-me-up and get their day started.

And I don't blame them. It really gives you the energy you need. Are you one of the many folks who love to drink the good brew? Let me know in the comments, guys. I always love to hear from my readers what they think.

Coffee will make this night better (video)

I love coffee, any time of day. Late at night, early in the morning, whenever. Coffee is always good. Let's all have some coffee and have a great summer, :) Coffee is the blood of life. It's so good. I love the way it makes me feel. I love a nice hot cup of Joe. Who doesn't love coffee? I mean honestly. The stuff is like gold.

This drink is great 

Coffee makes any night better. When you drink the cup of Joe, you just get happy. At least I do. Coffee is happiness in a cup. I can't imagine my life without it.

So I made this video. I love to make coffee videos. 

It's simple, really

Sometimes coffee is really the only thing you need in life. There are other great drinks out there, but there will never be another drink quite like the cup of Joe. It's amazing, don't you agree? Drink the good brew and be merry. The great thing about this special drink, is that you can drink it any time of day.

Millions of people all over the world love this tasty, hot (or cold) beverage. Let's all drink a cup and be happy. 

Demi Demi..youtuber (my thoughts on him)

There's this guy on YouTube named Demi Demi. He's really hilarious. He went viral, and now he does these little motivational videos that are like short videos.

He is really awesome. I love how inspirational he is. He really makes me laugh, too. We need people like him on YouTube. 

Demi Demi makes great videos

I love how his videos are too. They're like mine; he doesn't really edit them. He just makes these funny little short clips. That's how YouTube should be. There are a lot of YouTubers like that who just make short clips. 

Funny short clips are the best

I think those are some of the funniest videos on YouTube. Anyways this guy makes these funny sounds with his mouth in his videos...it's different, which is what makes it funny and awesome. That's probably why he went viral. 

Update:

I haven't watched this guy's videos in a few years, but he's still great, I'm sure. Hopefully, he is doing really well in life and still loves making videos. 

My love affair with diet soda

I've been drinking diet soda every day for a very long time. I know it's not the healthiest thing to drink...But I try to balance it out by drinking a lot of green tea, black tea, and other healthy stuff. I also exercise a ton. I try to keep the ratio of diet soda in my body reasonably low. 😅

Soda is amazing

I feel that everything in moderation is the key. But I just love the taste of diet soda, especially in the morning. It's so crisp and carbonated. Definitely has more carbonation than regular soda. 

Diet soda - a lighter drink

And it doesn't have the syrupy aftertaste. It's light, and it doesn't weigh you down. Very refreshing…especially on a hot summer day or first thing in the morning when you wake up. It's weird how you do something every day, and it becomes normal...like you can't picture your life without it.

Do you drink it too?

Making healthier choices

I need to try to drink coffee or tea for the most part. I feel like diet soda should be more of a "treat" for just some time. 

It's ok to drink soda sometimes and treat yourself, just like with anything in life. The secret is moderation and not overdoing it. I just need to learn to balance things out and not drink so much. Thank God for coffee and tea, too.

Diversify your drinks

There are always other things you can drink; there's not only soda. You can't limit yourself to only one drink. That's not healthy. Unless it's green tea or something.

My thoughts on the Retrowave music movement

My thoughts on retro wave music (also known as synthwave). It's a whole movement. It's an entire genre of electronic music. I love it so much. I have been fascinated by it ever since I first heard about it, around 2011. When the movie Drive came out, is when it started getting popular. I truly love this music. The 80s forever!

I've been in love with retro wave/synth wave for a long time now. I got super into it around 2016…that's when my passion for the genre really took off, even though I had already been into it before.

Who's leading the movement?

The YouTube channel "New Retro Wave" is amazing; they are the leading channel for retro wave music. They have so many new artists on there all the time.

Retrowave music is amazing!

There are so many incredible synth-wave songs on there. Synth-pop, synth funk, retro wave, etc. All of that stuff is gold.

Synthwave is my favorite music

I truly love this music so much. It's a whole vibe. The 80s never ended, we just went into an alternate timeline where it just continues on forever!

If you believe in my theory, raise your hands. There are so many people who love retro-wave music that it has become really popular.

The movement is growing

Who would have thought it would become such a huge movement? And I never dreamed I'd find a genre of music that I loved as much as this. 

I never knew that 80s music would become its own genre, which in itself is just amazing and fantastic. And it's definitely popular among a large group of people, and growing every day.

Life is frustrating sometimes (talking about it)

What can you do? Except keep moving forward. Sometimes life is so frustrating. How do you let that out? I mean, you have to let out your frustration somehow. It's only healthy to let out your stress.

It's ok to be frustrated with life sometimes.

Life is weird

It seems like as soon as you're doing well, another frustrating thing happens. And then you have people. Just the way they act. 

People are so unpredictable. They drive me crazy sometimes. Which is why I don't have a lot of people in my life.

I don't have a lot of friends

I keep my social circle small…and I'm thankful it's that way. More people just equals more drama. And you never know when someone is going to get mad at you over something small. 

I just prefer to be alone most of the time. It's more peaceful and less dramatic that way. When you're alone, at least you don't have to deal with people starting fights with you and stuff like that. Who needs that? Rant over lol.

I had a traumatic experience (need to talk about it)

I saw something yesterday that really freaked me out. I am still kind of in shock. I saw an accident where an old woman fell directly on her face on the concrete. ON HER FACE.

I heard her head hit the pavement…it was a loud slap. I ran over to see if she was ok. I was trying to talk to her, but she was just having convulsions. 

A cartoon man in shock with eyes and mouth wide open.

I don't think I've ever seen someone have convulsions like that. It was really shocking for me to see. 

I didn't know what to do

Thankfully, a bunch of people came over to help and sort of took over the situation. 

I'm glad other people were there to help because I didn't know what to do.

I am still in shock. I'm having a really hard time dealing with it. I don't know how to handle it. I've just been trying to take it easy at home and give myself time to try to deal with this.

I was really messed up for a couple of hours after I got home

I am still messed up. I have the image in my head too…that really sucks. I don't want to think about it.
I guess in time I will be ok, but I don't feel very ok right now. I don't even know if she survived or not; that's the sad part.

UPDATE 2023:

I honestly don't think about the moment that much anymore. I forget about it most of the time, actually. It's funny how time can really heal things. I think I'm probably over the trauma part of it. Or maybe I still have scars, but I just don't think about it much.

Time really does heal all. So give things time; it will get better. And you can't dwell on things. The more time goes by, the more you will heal from things. 

I'm feeling very tired (vlog video)

Feeling very tired. Just a quick little vlog sort of thing. In this short clip, I'm talking about being tired. Specifically…have you ever been tired, but you can't figure out if it's because you're doing too much or not doing enough?

This happens to me

I have this problem sometimes. Doing too little can make you lazy sometimes and tired, but doing too much can also make you tired for sure.

There's a good balance, I think. You want to get enough done where you're productive but not burn yourself out. 

What helps me

Just having a schedule really helps. You do the things on your list and don't do more than that. That's a good balance.

There's always hope (inspirational blog post)

There is always hope…never despair…things always work out! Sometimes your brain will lie to you and say there isn't hope.

You have to realize that this is a lie your brain is trying to convince you of. Our brains can sometimes be really negative.

But the truth is, you've gotten through everything in your life up until now. You will make it through anything.

There's always hope

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. If you have faith that everything will work out, you'll be just fine.

Think about it, you're here reading this, which means you've survived everything up until this point. So don't ever despair, things will always get better.

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. After every storm, there is sunshine. And miracles happen every day.

That quote will save you

So no matter what you're going through, know that "this too shall pass". Keep going no matter what in life.

There's always something good right around the corner if you just believe and keep putting one foot in front of the other. 

On the other side of your pain is something amazing just waiting for you. Keep believing.

Why I love YouTube and blogging (they're awesome)

YouTube and blogging are both very similar in my opinion…in that…you are expressing yourself…either through text or video.

For example, a blog and a "vlog" are basically the same thing…just through a different medium.

Two great mediums

Both YouTube and blogging allow me to express myself and put myself out there. They are both arts for me and I enjoy them both very much.

Do you love YouTube?

They both allow me freedom of expression

That's why I love them both in a nutshell. I'm pretty sure I'll keep doing them both, as they both have benefits.

YouTube is great in its own way, and blogging is great in its own way as well. 

We're very blessed to have them both

Think about the way they've both allowed us to connect with the world through sharing our thoughts, opinions, etc.

We can now entertain people as well, and cheer people up by making them laugh and stuff like that. YouTube and blogging are both a blessing.
