It's summer, guys. It's really, really hot outside. It got up to 90 today. That's plenty hot for me. It makes me miss when the temperature was just kind of mild.
I like mild, cool temperatures the best. Summer is awesome, though, it's just that Missouri summers are SO HOT that it's hard to even go outside in the middle of the day.

I usually try to wait until nighttime to go outside and drive my car anywhere. I love being inside with the air conditioner going. It's awesome.
I love air conditioning
I'm so thankful for AC. I really want to get out and do some stuff this summer…but man it's just so hot outside.
It's ok, I don't really get invited to do that many things anyway. I think people assume I will always say no. That isn't the case.
Enjoy summer while it lasts
I just want to enjoy this summer and not take it for granted. I do love summer, but I also love fall and the cool weather. They both have pros and cons. Cool-weather is nice because you can wear hoodies, and I love those.
It's pleasant to have cool weather, but not too cold. I love summer, too, but it's often too hot to really enjoy it. Sometimes you just want the enjoyable, perfect temperature. But it's always either too hot or too cold.
Even though the "Carole Baskin meme" was last year or whatever, I still say it a lot. It just gets stuck in my head for some reason.
I say it to one of my friends, and they get super annoyed because they're tired of hearing about it.

For some reason, that meme really makes me laugh...I guess it's just the song…it's really catchy and gets stuck in your head.
Story behind the song
The actual song, though, is about something that isn't really funny. So I feel guilty when I laugh. I sometimes feel bad when someone gets made into a meme, but they didn't really intend for that.
Most people never expect to be memes. But I guess you should take your 15 minutes of fame and run with it.
Also, memes don't ever die; they just keep spreading, so it's okay if it's always stuck in your head!
UPDATE 2023:
I don't really hear anyone talking about this meme anymore, but it's still funny to think about. It was one of those fads that didn't really last, like so many viral memes. I love memes, and I think they're one of the greatest things ever.
Who knows how many more we'll have over the years. Probably so many. There's a new one every time you turn around!
Just having some Dunkin coffee on a Friday. I love having coffee every day, not just on Fridays. But there is something amazing about Fridays; you have to admit.
It's just so enjoyable to drink. I buy Dunkin K-Cups that I can make at home. Thank God for Keurig coffee machines.
I have a regular coffee machine too where you put the grounds in, the old-fashioned way. But the Keurig is nice because it's very convenient. And I love the Dunkin K-Cups; they're amazing.
Dunkin, as we're all aware, is a hugely popular brand. They've been one of the biggest coffee chains around for a long time.
Dunkin name change
Did you also notice that they changed their name to just "Dunkin" instead of "Dunkin' Donuts"? That happened a few years back, if I'm not mistaken.
Up until a few years ago, I had never even had Dunkin coffee. We never had one in my area…and I never really realized you could buy it from the store.
But then a few years ago, we got a Dunkin coffee...and I finally got to taste it. And let me just say, it has the smoothest taste I've ever had with a coffee.
It's just so easy to drink, and it has such a mild, nice flavor. I'm talking just about their regular black coffee.
I only drink it black. Well, sometimes I'll have creamer or sugar. But rarely. I find all that stuff slows me down.
I like a clean, hot cup of black coffee. And Dunkin coffee, it seems, was made just for me. Haha. Not really, but it is perfect for me.
I was never huge on bitter-tasting, dark coffee. I love light or medium roast; they have a milder flavor.
Coffee is truly a blessing that we should all be thankful for.
I'm not sure why some people are naturally more picky when it comes to coffee. I've never been picky about what kind I'll drink. Even though I prefer black coffee, I'll drink it with cream, sugar, and flavorings as well.
I love hot coffee the most, but iced is very tasty too. I don't remember the first time I had a flavored coffee, but I do remember my first black coffee.
A long time ago
That was in high school. Ever since then, I've loved coffee.
But I didn't really start drinking it heavily until I was in my 30s. In my 20s, I drank a lot of tea and soda.
I still drink lots of diet soda and tea as well. But coffee is what usually wakes me up in the morning hours. I can't imagine trying to wake up in the morning and get work done without a cup of Joe.
It just has the right amount of caffeine to really give me that boost.
I don't honestly drink Dunkin coffee that much these days, even though it is my favorite.
I save it as a special treat. I typically just drink cheap instant coffee. Even instant coffee can taste very good if you buy the right brand. Nescafé Clásico is my favorite instant coffee. I also really love Taster's Choice; that stuff is high quality.
Relatable
I think a lot of us have a special kind of coffee that we drink, or that we save for special occasions. Some people aren't picky, though, and will drink any variety of coffee. It doesn't matter what kind you drink; the "café break" is one of the greatest joys in life.
I've been very stressed out recently. I'm almost always stressed, actually. I need better ways to cope with it. I have certain things I do for stress.
There are always blessings
Some of them work better than others. Believe it or not, coffee actually seems to help with my stress. I love coffee so much.
Coffee makes me grateful
When I drink coffee, it's easy for me to stop and look around...and just realize how thankful I am for my life.
I'm thankful just to wake up to see another day. Every day is a blessing. Just to walk the earth is one of the greatest joys.
There are always blessings
There is so much to be grateful for. That should be my motto this summer...and from now on. Just to be thankful for the little things.
There's too much good in the world to be stressed out all the time. Focus on the good things and you'll realize how blessed you are.
A good night
I'm about to have some coffee and just enjoy my Friday night. How's your Friday going? What are you thankful for? Just keep in mind, there is always something to be grateful for. If more of us just counted our blessings, we'd be a lot happier in life.
When is it ever NOT coffee time?The answer is…it's always time for it. I love it. Anytime I wake up in the morning...and I forget to have my cup that day... something always feels off.
Then I remember that I had forgotten to have my coffee. Once I've had my cup of joe for that day...then everything is set back on the right track.
Why I love coffee
I just "feel" better once I've had my cup of Joe. I drink it black usually. I find that just straight black seems to wake me up the most and give me that "kick" of energy.
I also prefer the flavor of just a cup of black.
Don't you love a good cup of coffee?
One thing is for sure, whenever it's coffee time, I get in a fantastic mood. Something about the experience of taking a sip of hot brew...just makes you feel alive.
That's why it should always be time for it. Because when it is, then everything is right in the world. So is it always time to drink some?
My answer is YES.
That's the great thing about this drink: it can be enjoyed any time of the day or night. There's never a "wrong" time to drink it.
And there are so many varieties to choose from, which makes it even more amazing.
People all over the world drink coffee every day of their lives. Most of us love it, I think. Think about how popular it is. That's why it's always time to have a nice cup.
What's great about this beverage?
You can drink it any time of the day, and it always tastes amazing. It's never bad. Think about the last time you had some.
Was it tasty? I'll bet it was! And you probably thought to yourself, "I'm glad it's coffee time. It's the best time."
You probably agree; anytime is a good time for a cup of Joe.
TL;DR: In this blog, I give my thoughts on the Cinemassacre Truth subreddit on Reddit and how much I love the people there.
I have been a member of this Subreddit for a while now. I think it's been over a year or something like that. I will admit, not everything there is positive.

But I really love that place, because it's such a tight community of people. We all join together in our love for Cinemassacre…or at least...the way it USED to be.
But you have to admit, things have changed A LOT with James and Cinemassacre. For one thing... James has kids now…and always seems to have "no time" to make videos for YouTube.

Things have changed
And things are way different with Screenwave being in control.
But what I love about the Subreddit is we all come together to laugh and enjoy memes. Sometimes people can be a little mean-spirited with their jokes…but not everyone.
The sub is good people
Most of the people in the sub are just wishing things would go back to how they used to be. I think it's our way of dealing with all the changes…to come together and share some laughs. Most of us were true fans at some point.
I, for one, am still a huge fan of James and the company. But I do miss the old times with the old gang.
Happy spring 2021, wishes to you! I'm really happy that it's spring. I usually do a "happy spring" post every year. Heck, I typically do one for every major season.
I'm a little late on the spring one, but spring just started recently. I'm very happy that the weather is nice. Spring is a great time to be alive. All the plants are in bloom, and everything feels new and fresh.
Fresh starts
It's a time for great new energy to move into your life and to clear out the old. It's a time for making new resolutions.
I'm really happy today. I've been going through some depression lately…but I'm thankfully having a good day.

Our weather here in Missouri has been pretty "mild". Not too warm, not too cold. Well, it's pretty cool at night, but I love that.
Cool nights are my favorite… I love sleeping with the window open. I love the fresh, cool air at night.
The weather has been nice
In the daytime, it's been fairly warm, but not TOO warm. I'm excited about summer, for sure.
Is there anyone who doesn't love springtime? It's such a happy time. Everything is beginning anew. It really is a time of second chances, starting over.
New life. And happy times.
Spring is a great time to start new projects as well. It's a great time for new beginnings. You can start new projects with fresh, new energy. It's a great time for good luck as well. Everything is in bloom, and the new energy is coming in.
Summer is great too
I also love summer. But there's something really amazing about spring, since winter is finally over. When spring comes, I just get really happy, and I'm usually in a good mood. Who isn't in a good mood when that time comes?
When that time comes, you're just so glad winter is finally over.
One of my favorite streams from Mike Matei. He plays Super Ghouls and Ghosts for the Super Nintendo and attempts to beat it on the professional setting.
The game looks awesome and fun. I might have played it back in the day. I don't remember.
It looks a lot more fun than the original
Just because the original is very hard. Every time I've played it, I don't get very far.
Mike's patience with this game is amazing. He plays it for several hours. This is an attempt to beat it; he doesn't beat it, but he does a very good job trying and gets to the end.
This is one of those classic games that everyone should play at least once. It's hard for sure, but not as hard as the first Ghosts n Goblins for NES.
That original one is so hard. I like it as a game, but it can sometimes not be fun because of the difficulty.
I've never been much of a SNES fan; I just don't prefer it as a system, although it does have some very good games.
The NES is my all-time favorite console
Anyways, this game is very difficult, and Mike proves that in this stream.
Because it's an attempt, you don't see him beat it, but he comes very close.
Nintendo has made some very good games if you think about it. This is one of those classics. It's just a great game all around.
Every game in this series is awesome if you ask me. I love watching Mike play classic games. He does that quite often.
He plays games that people know and love. This game series (Ghosts n Goblins) has become very popular over the years and garnered a cult following.
You can see why. The games are very hard, but they're also very fun. Mike is a very dedicated gamer. He claims that he isn't that great at playing games, but I would have to disagree.
If you watch him play, he is very talented
He has real staying power when it comes to finishing a game.
He will sometimes play a game on stream for hours and hours until he finally beats it. That takes a lot of patience and skill. Not everyone can do that.
You can see why he makes a living doing this; I think he has found his niche as a gamer. I love watching him play.
He has a pretty big YouTube and Twitch following. Lots of people tune in weekly to see him play.
And the commentary he gives while he's playing is so funny and entertaining. Mike has a love for his craft.
Mike plays great games
I love how he plays games like this SNES one. He plays all of the games we know and love. He also plays arcade games such as Donkey Kong and stuff like that. He does play newer games too.
Check out one of Mike's streams sometime; you will probably have a lot of fun. I love when Mike plays games that I love a lot.
He plays a lot of games, but not all of them are my type of games. He plays RPGs sometimes, and I don't care for a lot of those.
I prefer hybrid RPGs that are more action-oriented. But Super Ghouls n Ghosts is my type of game because I love platformers. Platformers are just fun to me. I love the jumping and side-scrolling aspects. Super Ghouls n Ghosts also has great fighting mechanics.
I really love coffee;it is amazing- can't we all agree? Coffee makes the world go round. I love a good cup of Joe in the morning to get going. It makes the whole day better.

Without coffee, where would I be? I'd be lost for sure. Coffee fills me with happiness and joy. It gives me a reason to keep going. I can't imagine my life without coffee.

Let's all enjoy a cup of coffee together. I think that's the way to do it. We can have a great time with coffee, indeed. It's the stuff that life is made of. Don't you agree?
2 cups of Dunkin' coffee sitting on a ledge outside.
What kind of coffee?
Here is my favorite kind of coffee, Dunkin'. It has such a smooth taste. It's just so perfect. I don't have to have the most expensive coffee in the world; just give me some Dunkin or some McCafe. I love all coffee, though I don't discriminate!
Coffee is just great all around. How could anyone not love it? I realize it isn't for everyone, but if you love coffee, raise your hands!
I think I'll always love a good cup of Joe. It's one of my all-time favorite drinks.
A worldwide favorite
People all over the world love this drink, and for good reason. There are so many varieties from anywhere you could imagine.
No matter what country you are from, whether Brazil, the United States, or Sweden, coffee brings us together as one big family. So we can all be happy and enjoy our good brew together! Let's celebrate by having a cup right now. What are you drinking?
I have been very stressed out. Heck, it seems like I'm always stressed out. It's very hard to deal with. Being a blogger/YouTuber/social media personality…is very stressful…not to mention all the other stuff I go through.

Life just seems to be stressful sometimes. I wish things could just go nice and easy for me. But of course, life has its ups and downs.
Enjoy the good times
Nothing can be perfect...but sometimes you get good moments. I try to enjoy the good moments without giving in to negativity.
I just wish I had healthier ways to get rid of my stress. Blogging definitely helps. I can just vent here and let it all out.
