I try to do this at the turn of every year, basically going over the past year and outlook for next year.
Personal News
Well, there's a lot to say. I've kinda been through the wringer. I am fortunate for where I'm at now 'cos I have to remind myself it could be a lot worse...but even still, I go through a lot and some of it I do to myself. I keep saying I don't wanna use my Blogger to vent or whine like I did when I had social media so I'll try not to, but I guess I can just make some bullet points on the things I've gone through in this last year:
-I got too lax early in the year 'cos of political things I felt loosened up-
-I fell into a lot of laziness and sin, distracting me from what I should be doing-
-I am under constant spiritual attack...I see it...I need to focus on God more-
-the enemy is trying to hurt me through people, work, home, money, health, everything-
-tried to get "back to work" on things I should be doing, but not enough-
-worked on The DrGAKMAN Secret Menu more, so that's good-
-still have ideas for expanding that, but I'm not gonna rush that-
-have lots of other personal projects I need to get on, but have been lazy/distracted-
-I (stupidly) tried to talk to some girls again, same results, I should've known better-
-depression & loneliness followed, but I had to be thankful for what I *do* have-
-lack of romantic love in my life gets to me...but I have to remind myself I can't have that-
-that's another way for the enemy to get me...and those evil spirits have been all over me-
-this leads me to lust and anger...more aggressively in this last year I see my problems-
-lust will always be a thing, but my anger can be dangerous and I see that more now-
-I am taking steps to de-amplify my anger by SLOWING DOWN on purpose-
-I have noticed that when I'm in a rush, I become more stressed-
-anger already in me boils over when something brings my rushed state to a halt-
-I have already found great results in just slowing down, not rushing everything-
-from others pov, no one wants to be around me when I'm rushed or worse; angry-
-in my anger I've done some stupid shit this last year and had to pay for it-
-speaking for paying for stuff, there's been a lot of major purchases this year-
-Switch 2 came out, Metroid Prime 4, etc., money money money-
-rent, bills & food went up...but that's the same for everyone-
-dental work I was putting off (still more to do) was more money gone-
-wore out my shoes and dropped my phone so there's goes money I didn't have-
-all these money things happened in a row leading up to repeatedly maxing my credit card-
-after a long time of doing this I...finally went with a debt solution company-
-was so worried about it, but...glad I did it and I'm on my way to fixing that now-
-gonna take years, but it had to happen and I'm making adjustments to not using credit-
-actually losing a lil' weight 'cos of it, too...need to do more of that-
-new shoes and new phone are great, so it's good that it happened the way it did-
-purposely set aside time to play games when I got Switch 2...felt great-
-always have projects I could be doing, but relaxing with that would be better than my lust-
-lust + ai = me messing with ai BS too much-
-I need to focus more on God's mission for a Christ believer like me-
-spending more of my time on Him and winning souls for Christ leaves less time for sin-
-I have so many projects to work on and fun to have that sin takes away from that too-
-I need strength and prayer to fight against my weaknesses-
Boy that was a lot without going into too much detail. I pray this year is better. There was good in 2025, but also a lot of bad...I want more good for 2026. I pray for the people of this world to have a better year no matter where the world itself is headed.
Blogger & YouTube News
On my list of projects is my Blogger itself, I've been updating here and there, but I need to do more and create more content for the bleak pages. Wasting time on distractions is a problem, but I plan to do more and am off to a better start this year. Blogger & YouTube plans:
-gonna finish the "Nintendo Is Gonna Nintendo" on my main Nintendo AGENDA page-
-try to make more Nintendo AGENDA subpages if I catch up on other parts of the page-

-thought of making dramatic reading vids of NeoGAF posts, ha ha, but probably not-
-need to use ai for something better, maybe the "Storytime With DrGAKMAN" idea?-
-speaking of, probably gonna update my DrGAKMAN Profile as it may have tmi?-
-fill in my Japanimation & ASIA AGENDA pages-
