The picture of me on this new Journal entry is from 2015, way before Covid, way before I suffered some family & personal losses, way before I sat in lock down for literally two years... but I'm still here! And I'm continuing to grow & nurture my soul. In 2023, I hope to grow & achieve even more! (Journal entry attached) -BB
To honor Atari's amazing 50th Anniversary this week, I decided to write a new poem. This one's inspired by #Atari and a lifetime of fun, amusement & great times. These were all produced by Atari's amazing home gaming consoles, 8-bit computer lines & arcade games which are dotted throughout our lives and memories. This poem was written on 6/30/22, in honor of Atari's wonderful, glorious 50 years of entertainment this week. Thanks, Atari! And here's to the next 50!
The past week, I've uploaded 3 new videos on my #vintagegaming #YouTube channel. BCB #47 - The Future of Gaming (with my nephew Damian), No Filter #34 - Nintendo Switch OLED w/ Namco Museum: Arcade Pac & Unbox'd #16 - Homecoming! See screenshots below... watch, like & subscribe! Thank you
Hey guys! Long time no hear. Just returned back home from our annual 'family trip' to see my big Sis Nick and her fam out in SoCal near L.A. It was such an amazing time! Not only did my baby sis Kris get us a super swank nice 'honeymoon suite' room right off the beach (which was fabulous, old-world beach condo), but we took our Mama to Catalina Island for her 69th birthday on April 22nd.
On April 21, I visited my big Sis in Socal along with my TX family. We met up and took Mom (for her 69th birthday) to Catalina Island on the Catalina Flyer ship. The waves got pretty brutal going over on Friday, 4/22, and it made me re-evaluate my life & my new choices, and how I can now stand in my own power. This poem was written in 'real time' on 4/23/22 @ 9:49 AM PST
So, what have I been up to lately? Quite a bit, and not quite. Read on... ๐ #journal #life #singlelife #gaming
