The Most Inconsistent Person in the World
Life is full of inconsistencies. We just have to power through them
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?
I’m not really a tattoos kind of person. It’s not the permanent aspect I’m worried about, it’s the part about getting poked. Plus my family being against it really shaped my perspective, so it just helps.
My home state of Florida will have its primaries for both the GOP and Democratic parties on March 19. I already know where they’re going on both fronts. I also already made my choice for who I’m voting for in November, but that’s not why I’m writing this.
I am actually disappointed that a) we still have a two-party system that is resistant to growth and b) Biden and Trump are the best we have.
I wasn’t sure where I was going with this when I started writing this blog post, but it had me thinking. We got unwavering Trump supporters and we also got unwavering Biden supporters. We also got people who are on the fence, and we have people who are angry at Biden over Israel (and rightfully so).
My one question is this… if, by chance, we have a viable third party that can actually put the two existing parties on notice, would you vote for it (provided that they put out a quality candidate)? I’m not asking if you will blindly follow it, but would their values hold up to yours?
Leave your thoughts in the comments section because honestly, I’m kinda torn.
So, yesterday, someone who follows James Somerton on Twitter posted a screenshot of what appears to be his suicide/unalive note (because his Twitter was locked) and it set off a bunch of discourse there and on Reddit. If you don’t know what happened to get to this point, here’s a small recap
December 2023: Another YouTuber named HBomberguy posted a four-hour takedown on plagiarism (the second half solely dedicated to James Somerton)
December 2023: James Somerton took down his Patreon and made his YouTube channel private
December 2023: He made his first apology video. It didn’t go well.
January 2024: He attempted a rebrand. That didn’t go well either.
February 2024: He made his second apology video. That one also didn’t go well.
And all of that brought us to March 5, 2024, when it was posted.
It had me thinking… when is holding somebody accountable for their actions equate to “murder”?
Some people (like Peter Coffin) are accusing HBomberguy and his assistant Kat and another YouTuber named Jessie Gender of murder and I don’t think that’s right. All Hbomberguy and Kat did was to meticulously expose James Somerton as a serial plagiarist while serving up appetizers that include iiluminaughtii and Internet Historian. Jessie Gender was one of many who had tried reaching out to James Somerton in the months leading up to the video essay. I have seen neither of them encouraging anyone to harass James Somerton. In fact, Hbomberguy discourages anyone who watches his videos from doing so, and he mentioned that in the 4-hour video.
As of this writing, we don’t know if James Somerton killed himself or not. We don’t know if he’s really doing it. All I can say is that I hope he doesn’t die and that he takes a deeper look into himself to see what he has done wrong and to step away from YouTube for a while.
You mean like do I believe in some sort of supernatural things? Well, it depends, but most of the time… no. Especially when others who may have that same belief voice it out only to get ridiculed. Usually I find my answer there
Okay, so not a Bloganuary post, but it was MLK day the other day and I just wanted to drop this quote right here. Have a great day.
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Well, it’s been a long time coming, especially those periods where I was out for long periods, but we did it, fam. I don’t like to do this often but thank you all for getting me to 100 followers on WordPress. I know my blog goes all over the place sometimes, but I ensure I have something for you all here.
Even if you don’t celebrate, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Based on past interactions, I see everyone as suspect until proven otherwise. Gotta keep your guard up when assholes come running.
It will have to be in a separate room next to my bedroom and I would have a table, a bean bag chair, a shelf, a laptop, some gaming stuff (just because), pen and paper, a Rocketbook, a smartphone, and speakers to blast lo-fi music with
I’ll be honest with you… I’m not even creative in the slightest, but I’m using my blog to let out whatever little creativity that I have (however, I can do charts and tables and whatever)
