A Big Thanks!

     I know I said I would be doing a post over my Pokemon collection, but it turns out I bit off more than I could chew. I have been sorting all my cards out by sets, there are 68 sets, so sorting through roughly seven thousand, eight thousand cards, that alone took me around ten hours to separate. A few hours ago I recently was able to sort the sets out by when they came out, that didn't take but ten to fifteen minutes, but I started with the first set. I looked and set aside any duplicates, than sorted the cards out by the order they go in for the set. So far each set has taken me about thirty minutes to sort and put into binders. Anyways, I will go more into this whenever I get it done...

      With this blog being started about two weeks ago, I had a blog similar to this one a few years ago. It was something I did while I was going through everything my senior year, though I didn't really mention anything that was going on. All the content dealt mostly with writing exercises, and a few hundred word short stories I wrote to keep me busy, and hope to help with my book "Akio"

      It was last year or maybe the year before, school years are a little confusing because that was how I use to base what happened during that year. That blog started running really slow for some reason, at first, being a new blogger, I though it had something to do with how many posts I had. I think it was around three hundred, so I deleted a lot of them. The blog was still sluggish, so overall I gave up on it, Moved my short stories to Lorekeepers Inn. I never really shared any of my posts on facebook either, I was still new and didn't quite like other people reading what I wrote. At least people I knew.

     Still it is hard for me to share this kind of stuff on facebook, though ironically facebook seems to be a good source of traffic. People may just be a bit noisy or they could actually care about whats going on, and find some of this stuff quite entertaining, or even helpful. I know I haven't really gone over a whole lot of helpful stuff, but I always felt better knowing that I wasn't alone.

     Rounding the one thousand view mark I believe I will hit it either this Sunday or Monday, which is a big deal! I couldn't have done it with out my loyal readers. They put up with my poorly conducted sentence structure, and still come bad for more! I want to thank each and everyone of you. I know who a few of the readers are, but the mystery of the others is very suspenseful. I often hit the refresh button a few times, when I see a view from facebook I check to see who is on, and try to guess who may be reading my posts. Anyways again thank you everyone for the support, it really helps!   

Blogoholic!

     Not only am I workoholic but it turns out I'm a bit of a blogholoic too. I guess I just love keeping myself. If I'm not working I normally either think of new blogs I can make, or I try to find content for the blogs I already have. Some blogs it's harder to find interesting post worthy content others not so much. I currently got done with gathering screen shots for one of my guide blogs. Turns out I have enough screenshots to cover well over 60 posts, which is nice and all I just need to find the time to add wording in with the pictures than I'm good to go.

     I currently have 10 blogs only 6 of which I manage, and that still isn't enough! There is so much more I would love to blog about and with as organized of a person as I am, a few blogs simply wont do. Plus it is always nice to keep different groups separate. I don't want a Terraria fan based community interfering with my World of Warcraft fan based community, it allows other people to feel a bit more comfortable and welcomed.

     Anyways not only do I have 10 blogs to my name, I also have few ideas for other blogs... just a few -.-. I have written down because only God would remember them if I don't write them down. I have thought about doing a movie review channel. I'm not sure if I will be doing one or not because the only thing I really ever watch is Family Guy, every now and then American Dad or Futurama. My idea behind the blog was I can't seem to watch a movie all the way through without criticizing it at some point. I would have gone over the parts that I enjoyed and gave input in what I thought would have made parts I didn't like better. A writing exercise for me nonetheless.

     A steam game review once crossed my mind as I don't really like playing games because they are games, I am fairly picky with what I choose to stare at, I like a lot of creativity in the games I play. A good story more than anything. There are a decent amount of games within the steam library that are under five dollars and I figured "Why not review these games to help others find games they may enjoy" Rather or not it will happen I'm not sure. To be honest I'm not much of a gamer.

     This one I'm still pondering over. It is something I would really like to do and my brother has opt to help me with some of the content, though it isn't something I would like to just through together and call it good. I'm very much so into EDM, electronic dance music, I found a demo version of the studio many of the well known DJ's and artists use. Though limited to a various amount of sounds, it is still enough I should be able to come up with my own music which would be cool to be known as DJ Opachii, but that is only a dream as of today.

     Now I have mentioned before that I own a nature photography blog, Opachii's Photography. Though one thing that crossed my mind one day while seeing an adult coloring book on my grandmothers table. Why not turn some of my photo's into coloring pages? This is something I do plan on doing though I have only found one way of turning my photo's into coloring pages and I'm not to fond of the way they turn out. I may draw them and try to get a bit more of a cartoon style, but as of now I just need to find a better way to transform them.

     Okay so I think a bit to much sometimes... all the time perhaps. Since I haven't been writing, why let my ideas go to waste? I would definitally have to be careful about this and not give to much detail, but I would simply turn some of the ideas I'v jotted down into prompts. I don't really have enough written down, key word written. I can be a bit forgetful sometimes, but I don't have enough content to start a blog at the moment though it would really take a day of brain storming and I could have a few hundred prompts.

     This will be one I would do in the future more so when my blogs become a bit more popular due to the fact it would be nothing to the people I help if they aren't getting any views off it. A promotion blog is something I feel a bit compelled to do. Mostly because I know how hard promoting can be. It would be a few promotion site of course, and I'm undecided how I want to find my content for this blog. I could just do it to be nice and help a small youtube channel, or I could take application type things and promote one person a week. Either way I feel it would be fun to do something like this.

     If you struggle with synonyms as much as I do than this might just be a blog you would want to check out. I have a pretty small vocabulary, probably because I don't enjoy reading... a writer who doesn't read, how odd. I have been gathering synonyms I use in my stories to create a word of the day blog. I often find myself with an open tab saying "synonym for" just in case I feel like I should spice up the sentence structure. I normally do it for my blogs too, but this one I feel like I should try to work on it on my own instead of using the interwebz.

     These will end up being separate blogs because of course both communities don't get along all the time, but I plan on doing a card opening blog for not only Pokemon (Yes I still collect Pokemon cards) and Magic to Gathering. Often you will find videos over people opening card pack, how this is entertaining? *Shrug*. I was recently looking up to see if any one else has a blog over such a thing and I didn't find any. I thought that since I don't like talking taking pictures would be a good way to go about doing this.

     As you are aware I'm doing a bit better today, hence the tasteful humor. I'm sure there will be many other blogs I dream to start, I know there was one that I guess I didn't write down. :O I remembered something... I enjoy baking oddly enough so I thought about blogging recipes I make. I would take a picture of the finished product and probably rate how easy or hard it was to make for people just starting off. Hopefully everyone had as wonderful of a day as I did!        

Backpacking

     I guess you could say another reason I started this blog was so I can work a bit on my grammar as I plan on backpacking. More than likely I will try to do backpack journalism, so I figured since I'm not writing stories as often as I use to, and being the fact journalism is a different style of writing than fantasy,  I figured it would be a good use of my time to basically work on a daily post. Blogging while I'm traveling seems like a perfect use of time while I end the day. 

     Backpacking my not exactly the right word, but I do see myself hiking a lot. It could be that I start off with backpacking, but I only stick to the state I currently live in. After a while I do plan on getting a motorcycle, which in my mind makes for the perfect transportation to travel with. Though hiking throughout the worlds jungles may seem fun and all, I don't think with my current state of mind I will be able to stand walking. I would feel trapped and like I don't have anywhere to go if my claustrophobic mind tells me there is no escape, even though I'm free to go just about wherever I want. 

     My though's and reasoning to why I want to travel is so I can of course blog. I love taking pictures, and I suppose with my current camera, though it is really good, I will still need something better. However I will be traveling a bit this year when I have time off from work. Rather it on bike, or with my uncle, I hope to have several thousand more photos up on my photography blog if I don't decide to start a different blog for my travels, or if I just decide to change the blog up some. 

     I love using blogger, but there are some things I wished I could do but just can't. I might be able to if I messed with the coding a bit, but I'm not ready to do anything fancy yet. With photography I don't typically like writing anything for it. I have over 500 picture up on my nature blog with no description. Which is alright for the pictures being local, since I plan on traveling a description of at least where I feel would be nice. The kind of website I would be interested in would be something that allows pages inside of pages. Bloggers pages don't remove the post from the home page and to me makes the blog seems very unorganized. 

     With the Possiblity of a new photography blog, I will also add some of the pictures I take to my journalism blog I will be making once the journey begins. As much as I love plants and just nature in general, I should have lots to say over the sites I see.    

     I apologize is this post seems a little scattered I'm not feeling the greatest and I didn't get much sleep last night due to not only insomnia but my sister decided she would be a but noisy. 

Why I Created This Blog

     I really enjoy helping people, sometimes it is hard to do when I'm not willing to be social. I normally do okay with helping people while hiding behind a computer, though messaging people is starting to get harder and harder for me, my social anxiety is getting worse by the year, no matter how anyone looks at it. I'v been told it's been getting better but in reality I just know how to put a mask on.

     I also get panic/ anxiety attacks if I don't help someone in need or if I feel helpless which sucks, because well I can't hide from the social aspect of helping. There will always be some sort of social interaction while helping someone. Rather it be on social media or in person, verbally or through text, you are still communicating with someone to help.

     This blog helps me by allowing me to discuss a few of my past events, people who struggle find it easier knowing they aren't alone. One thing I always keep in mind is someone out there will always have it worse than you, no matter who you are, or how hard you situation can be. That is something that helped me through what was suppose to be a happy memorable year, I will be getting to that in a few days hopefully.

     I can create a community for people who either enjoy the drama filled reads, or people who may be struggling and need help. Everyone is free to leave comments, and ask questions as they please, and it can even be done anonymously. I will more than likely be posting herbal remedies for those who are sick. I have several other helpful guidance blogs for a few of the games I play.

    The biggest reason it is easier for me to help people through a blog is because I to can help anonymously. One of the biggest reasons I use a pseudonym in the titles of my blog. I'm known as "Opachii", at least to those who don't know my alias. I have never been big on being the center of attention, so why announce my real name to the public? If I continue to write books I will more than likely publish them, more than likely not this pseudonym but I will probably use one for my books.
