Well, considering I'm from Illinois, this absolutely tracks. I may have been gone for a while before I came back, but I never lost the accent. 🤣
In my hunt to find a new game to play, I tried to play the OG Tomb Raider for the first time, but it's too slow paced for me. I am NOT a patient man.
Looking at the gargantuan mass of plastic grocery bags under our sink has made me realize that I've become my mother.
Presence. And I don't just mean being nearby. I mean really being present. And real ones know the difference.
13. What do you need to feel love?
AND I'MA STILL EAT MY MOTHERFUCKIN' CANDY CORN. AND WHAT? YOU NOT GON' WHOOP MY ASS.
Ethan got this goofy idea one day to hang pizza boxes in our kitchen. I'm...kinda here for it? 🤣 This is what we have so far!
I've been thinking a lot about the state of my life, and for the last couple days, I've been thinking a lot about my sex life. And like...maybe I've had enough sex for one lifetime? Maybe this is it for me? I dunno. Like...?
I was scheduled to see Lady Gaga during the Born This Way Ball, but my show was cancelled after her injury. I was scheduled to see Janet Jackson on the Black Diamond Tour, but COVID killed it. I was scheduled to see S Club during the Good Times Tour, but wound up not being able to afford travel.
How about this? Best concerts that you ALMOST got to see but DIDN’T. Include reasons if you like: Rolling Stones (play rehearsal) Johnny Cash (I dallied) R.E.M. (play performance) Nirvana (canceled, college declined to pay requested $500 appearance fee)
Sookie from Gilmore Girls drives me absolutely crazy.
Name a character you can't stand.
I work hard at getting TikTok to show me things I'm interested in, but I'm tired of ragebait thinkpieces *about* things I'm interested in. Yes, I want Gilmore Girls in my FYP. But no, I don't want a video essay by some smooth-brained pseudo-intellectual about how Lorelai is actually the antichrist.

"VICTOR" This was such an experiment. You may notice most of my subjects are standing and that's on purpose. I've tried sitting and laying poses in the past, but always felt they looked weird in my style. This one, however, turned out faboosh! #queerartist #queerart #blackartist #gayartist #gayart
Chr*stians will sing a whole song about being washed in some guy's blood, but call *me* demonic for sucking dick. Ooookay, crazy people.

All of that mess! 2026 is actually the 20th anniversary of the promise I made myself to never touch alcohol again.
4. What alcohol you swear you will never touch again?
Without saying your age, what was your favourite film that came out when you were 20 years old?

If you told me a year ago that my favorite Chinese food spot would be inside of a grocery store and that I'd prefer it over Panda Express, I'd call you a liar.
My mental health was fair to middling while I was battling a throat infection, and now that the infection is more or less gone, depression and anxiety are like, "HEY BIIIIITCH! MISS US?!"

A combination of mental illness and growing up too fast.
8. What “aged” you the most in this life?
Sometimes when I'm sad, I just get a big bowl of sugary cereal and park myself in front of the TV like it's the '90s. Works like an absolute charm.
We also bought this super cute chair. We're thinking of buying a little table and an ottoman and making it a reading corner in our bedroom.
Got some goodies at the thrift store! The copy of Two Can Play That Game was still in plastic wrap!
I'd really like to de-Google my life, but I am literally using a Google phone.
I personally have no idea, but Ethan says it's yellow. 💛
8. What color is your voice?
If my sperm donor had his druthers, I would have been named Darius. But my mom named me Brian.
4. What was the name your parents were gonna name you?
The swelling in my throat is almost gone, so now I can get back to using my throat for what it's known for. 😏 Which is swallowing horchata and Little Debbies.
When I was a kid, I misheard "walk-in closet" as "walking closet" and I imagined it as a big robot with a square tummy that would hold all my clothes and be my friend. I was gonna name it Clozzy. 🤣😂😭
Over the last couple days, I've been rewatching the Look Who's Talking series, and even though I can't stand John Travolta or Kirstie Alley as people, you have to admit that their on-screen chemistry was EVERYTHING. James and Mollie always felt like such a real couple.
