Hi, would it be too much to ask you to post where and the month you think the videos were made? please thanks

If you're talking about his IG scares video compilation, a lot of them we don't know. Some we do. Others we can only guess based on his beard length vs his looks in his filming schedule, and her hair length vs other postings.

1st scare - him doing laundry - his MA house unknown time period, although guessing during Ghosted filming time period in spring

2nd scare - her with phone on floor - his LA house it looks like, but I am only saying that from the floor finish color, I have no idea; her hair is longer so take a guess (if her hair could be matched to January 2022 NYE trip, I'd say then, but I think it's different)

3rd scare - him in MA house kitchen unknown time period, but looks like spring outside windows, so I'll say again Ghosted filming time period

4th scare - her in Four Seasons Lisbon suite, this can be dated to Jan 26-29, 2022

5th scare - him in Four Season Lisbon suite, this can be dated to Jan 26-29, 2022

6th scare - her in Finland cabin, can be dated to Jan 29-30, 2022

7th scare - him in MA house basement, is literally almost the same as the one Scott posted back on Dec 1, 2021, and was probably taped shortly before that date

8th scare - her in MA house kitchen entry, unknown time period but seems to have same sunny look as scares 1 and 3

I have a wild theory that scares 1, 3, and 8 were all filmed the same weekend probably while he was home on a short break from Ghosted filming. So either a weekend in March, or possibly the April weekend he went home for Shanna's wedding.

SNEAK PEEK 4 FUTURE SERIES!!

(please note that this post (and every series included in this) is COMPLETELY A WIP and that there may be future changes towards some of these series, so please, check it out every now and then! i actually was planning on releasing this earlier, but more ideas came, and now i should clear everything up inside my brain before i lose all of my remaining braincells.)

hells awaiting second (last) rerun: 4S (2021Aug), MoVo (2022Nov), HeFa (2023Feb), 4G (2023Dec)

hells that have finished three runs (debut + two reruns): Evernight, GG, Caelum, 4W, TP, WFSM, 4D, BM, ToL, SoS, 4M, RoR

hells in wish gate: Caelum, Evernight, WFSM, GG, BM, Miracle Concert

hells in cn wishgate but not global: 4G, 4W, TP

my notes: i was looking into the schedule bc i was telling my assoc friend that we are overdue on reruns and wanted to double check i had my facts straight. i have conclusions bc i take this mobile game more seriously than my actual studies.

its been over a year since MoVo debut and we havent had a rerun. the only other hells that took over a year to get first rerun were 4M (2019Nov-2021Feb) and SoS (2020Jul-2021Aug). its been longer than both for MoVo (2021Jan and counting). MoVo reran in 2022Nov, putting it at almost two years to rerun.

its been almost a year and a half over two years since first rerun of SoS. this is similar to TP (2019Sep-2021Mar) and BM (2020Jul-2022Mar). it hasn't crossed either yet. its crossed both. update: ToL, which debuted two months after SoS, had its second rerun before SoS. SoS finally reran in 2023Sept.

TR and Ark had no hell reruns between them. this hasnt happened since SoS and ToL in 2020, where the schedule was (i think) fucked up by all the collabs they were doing, on top of bringing ToL exactly on anniversary date. update: this repeated with RS and CD.

endnote from the original making of this post: make of all that what u will. or dont. personally the next few months schedule will decide for me if theyre really being stingy with hell reruns, since we have had BM recently and will hopefully be back on track. hopefully. update: as of mid 2023, the schedule seems to be recovering, with one rerun between every two debut hells.

Happy 7th anniversary Fuwa Maria and Fuwa Mario!

My UTAU babies are getting old now, and it's crazy to see how much they've grown and changed over these past few years, considering the amount of times I've changed their lore and designs LMAO. At this point they're well on their way to turning 10 in the next three years.

In celebration, I have prepared a celebratory illustration of my UTAUs and my online persona, both with and without the text :3 Other than that, I have scheduled an anniversary cover that will be uploaded later this afternoon. :3 Please look forward to it! I know I didn't plan to release any voicebanks today, but I will make up for it in the future.

Also, Maria and Mario's in-character birthday is set to April 4, 1298. I guess that makes them 724 years old at the time of writing this post! (dear god they're so old)

Mod Ragna Needs Some Help

Hi! I hate to ask this, but my fan keeps dying on me, and I need two for my room to get a cross breeze. I’m also in dire need of cat litter, cat food, plastic cutlery and the cat box for my mom’s bathroom. All of these items and more that would be a huge help are on my Amazon wishlist at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2IYLMSXNYF5HY?ref_=wl_share

I also need monetary help. I have a ton of loans to cover and I may lose my housing if I don’t get them covered by the first. My pinned post on @mousedetective has the specifics, but if anyone can help even a little, my PayPal is https://href.li/?https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/penaltywaltz

I’m really sorry to post this here but I have nowhere else to turn. Even reblogging would be a huge help. Thank you!

FAQ

What is the WIP Big Bang? Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!

Do I need a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/AO3/etc. account to participate? No! You don’t have to have an account on anything to participate, though you will need to have somewhere to post your finished work. Having one or more accounts will help for you to follow what is going on with the bang (we crosspost to Livejournal, Dreamwidth, Tumblr, and Twitter at the moment), but they are not required to participate. You can always leave comments anonymously or with an opensource ID.

How many fics can we sign up for? We absolutely don’t mind multiple sign-ups. I know one year someone submitted 50 fics to finish, and got at least half of them done. We just ask that when you sign up with more than one fic you give each fic a unique user ID (please do not use the same ID for all your fics...it’s important to have different IDs for the check-ins).

Will I get emails about the bang? We do send out some emails, mostly for snippets and art claims and to ensure communication between authors and artists, but please do NOT rely on getting an email to remind you of due dates. We currently do not keep an updated email list of participants, so we only send individual emails as needed rather than mass emails.

However, email is the fastest way to communicate with the mods. If you have any questions or are having trouble communicating with your artist/author, please do email us! We will do our best to respond quickly.

What do you mean by minimum word count to enter? This is a WIP Big Bang, therefore we ask you to have at least 500 words of your story drafted when you enter.

Can an outline count towards those first 500 words that are needed at sign up? We have admitted work on an outline before so yes, if your outline is fleshed out enough to cover a 7,500 word+ fic, we’ll allow it.

Are multi-chapter fics allowed? Yes, multi-chapter fics are allowed and even more so encouraged if your fic is lengthy.

What about fics that are already posted on ao3 in part? Do those qualify for the bang? It's okay if you have posted a few chapters of your fic already (you never know when the muse deserts you, after all), we just require you to refrain from posting more until posting begins here. All we ask is that you not post any public updates to the fic until August 1st (or July 1st with the mod’s okay). We don’t want you to lose kudos and comments so don’t worry about pulling the fic down, just hold off on updates for now.

Is there a minimum word count? 7,500 words for each finished fic, but the sky's the limit, right?

I see that the fic minimum is 7500 words and that published WIPs are acceptable - but what if the WIP I’m considering is already more than 7500 words? Is the expectation to add an additional 7500 to it? No. You can add as much or as little as you need to finish the story, though we do expect at least 1,000 or so new words if your WIP already meets the word count.

What happens if an author finishes the fic they signed up with but it’s less than 7,500 words? The intent was to go over the minimum but once they got into it the story was shorter than they thought and stretching it out would make it less good. Do they have to drop out at that point? By all means, we want your stories to feel as natural as possible, and if it’s under 7,500 words you may have two options:

1 - Drop the fic for the main BB event, post it now, and wait to post it to our AO3 collection in February when we run our International Fanworks Day celebration of finishing fics that are less than 7,500 words when finished. There’s no art for the fic, but bragging rights are posted to the communities for a week.

2 - If there are enough fics that fit that category, we can do a special day of posting the fics, but you’ll have to forgo art for the fic. I, as a mod, would probably pick September 30th for the posting day, as it’s the last day of posting for the bang and I don’t think anyone will mind more than one fic that day. You can post bragging rights to the community and share the fic with everyone.

Is there anything not allowed? As long as you wrote it and you want to finish it, you're welcome to participate. RPS/RPF is fine. Incest pairings are fine. Things like that I know have been hinted at in questions asked and as long as you tag for them, we’ll allow it. Also, canon settings with mostly OCs is allowed. We just ask that it be tagged properly with any content warnings you would deem fit and be given the appropriate rating for the level of sex/violence there is in the fic.

Original Work was not originally part of this Bang, but as there are not any current Original Fiction Big Bangs running (that we are aware of), we may revisit that next year.

I have a fic I wrote a few years ago, but only the first couple chapters are posted on AO3 because I was never happy with the rest of it and knew it needed major revision. Is that something I could use for WIP Big Bang? The entire fic has been posted, but only on one platform, and it would be rewritten for AO3 and WIPBB.

I think revising a fic for posting would work, as long as you have at least 500 words done, will have 7,500 words at a minimum when it’s done, and are planning to add more to the fic. Simply rewriting what you have would be a gray area, but if you’re going to take stuff out and add new scenes, either in the old scenes place or on your own, you should be fine.

What's the etiquette around OC-centric stories? Ones that are set in a well known fandom and use several characters, but still lean a lot on original characters? Are they discouraged, or fine?

Based on my own personal experience making art for a story that had a heavy OC presence, it’s not something we discourage at all, but be forewarned when it comes to the art accompanying your fic your artist may not be able to incorporate the OCs into your art. Not everyone makes art of a hand-drawn or digitally drawn nature, so it helps if you have people for face claims ahead of art submissions, and you and your artist communicate regularly. You can also end up with art not featuring the OCs at all, just the canon characters, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Your other options are to bring in an artist you trust with your vision of your OC/make your own art (we do allow that, we just need to be told during the check-in before art that you’re bringing in your own artist if you go that route, or that you’re doing your own art…there will not be a need to sign up in the artist’s sign up, however) or to opt-out of art entirely. So there’s plenty of options to call on when it comes time for art.

What are 'check-ins’? These are a way for us to see what you've been up to and for you to make sure you're still on track. It will give you a little nudge/reminder if you need it, but they are not compulsory. Basically a form is posted that you fill out with your user ID (unique for each fic) and a checkbox to let us know you’re still participating, plus a section for any notes for the mods.

They’re usually up for about a week, so don’t worry if you can’t check-in immediately once the forms go live.

How are the check in IDs used? They are solely for the mods organizational purposes. Each ID being for a separate story allows us to keep all the information you submit during check-ins and for snippets in one line on our spreadsheet. You don’t have to share your check in IDs with anyone else if you don’t want to.

How much progress should authors be making between each checkpoint? (Percentage-wise from our estimated total wc, I guess?) Ideally, with each check-in, you should be at least 25% closer to finishing. The end word count only really matters in that the fic needs to be at least 7,500 words when done, so it’s more your progress towards finishing that should be measured, not so much the word count.

Everything like Clockwork

7th September 2022

It’s been a lot of trains today. First the 6.23 out of Stamford after my lovely wife drove me to the station. Not even a hint of a moan about having to get up before six, just a smile and wishing me a good trip.

It was then another train from Birmingham after I finally navigated my way around a busy New Street Station. My destination was Oxenholme. The train from there to Windermere was scheduled to leave 1 min before I arrived but it was cancelled and replaced by a bus. Luckily for me they held it back for passengers on the Birmingham train so I hopped onboard. I didn’t have a ticket for this journey but the bus driver told me to hop on and not to worry. So I got to Windermere for 11.15 and walked the 1.5 miles to the official start of the Dales Way.

It felt good to be back out on the fells and with good walking weather I made solid progress. I met several groups coming the other way who I assumed were finishing the Dales Way but none stopped to chat. Lunch was a smallish pork pie I had picked up from the Co-op (they had run out of green salads) and a couple of mueslis bars.

I normally walk in April/May and I was noticing several differences. No bluebells but the lavender and broom were in full colour and there were lots of blackberries to ensure I got my daily fruit ration. It was warmer than I’m used to and I drank lots more water. I’ve made a note to carry more tomorrow.

I had just one minor navigation error today but it meant I had to climb a stone wall and roll underneath an electric fence (not easy with a pack on) but both were done without mishap and without too much delay. I was at Burneside station for 4pm and met a couple who had just done the 17miles from Sedbergh and were knackered. In truth I was quite knackered and I’d only walked 11.5 miles but I didn’t let on. They were both carrying their stuff so we chatted about equipment and pack weights. The woman said she was travelling light but they had met a girl earlier who was carrying that essential piece of walking kit - a set of hair curlers!!

I got the train and no sooner had I stepped aboard than it rained. Not a drizzle but monsoon type rain for about 15 minutes. But luckily it stopped in time for my short walk to The Green Gables B&B. My room is small but it’s pretty good for £59 inc breakfast.

I did get a bit wet on my walk back from the Indian restaurant but I’ve been really lucky with the weather today.

So a reasonable first day. All the logistics went like clockwork and I’m in good shape for tomorrow though wondering where I’m going to find the extra energy to cover 17miles.

Finally a shout out to my good mate Tony B and his lovely wife Sue. They are walking 23 miles for charity tomorrow along the North Norfolk Coast. That’s a big distance so good luck guys, I will be thinking of you.

Week 5: MLB FXTURE RELEASED

I perceive public relation as a way of dissemination information to the public to achieve a specific result. I understood this idea after this week of lectures. As we get by, I am gradually understanding the dynamics of the public relation spectrum. This week I want to analyse a campaign by the Major League Baseball when it announced it fixture release for the upcoming 2022 season. The MLB this week announced it fixture schedule for the upcoming season starting on April 7th, 2022. This was a huge relief to baseball fans across the world as the collective bargain agreement between teams and players were at a standstill on negotiations with the current one about to expire in December.

Orchestrating the campaign and the entities involved:

This PR activity is under the sole tutelage of the MLB. In the past seasons the MLB has used this occasion to present to it fans and supporters what to expect in the upcoming with marquee fixtures highlighted.

Image: Teams in the MLB

PR Tools:

In a world of digital technology, the MLB used social media to it advantage with this campaign. It also used press conferences to convey it messages across board. Advertising mediums were used to publish the fixture list as well as a speaking engagement which included a press conference.

How the PR Campaign was utilised:

The MLB does a fine job of getting its message out there to fans and supporters and they do it using digital and mainstream media. The 2022 fixture was also published on the official website of the MLB, in local and regional newspapers and through weekly newsletters submitted via email to its members. I only knew about this campaign scrolling through my Facebook timeline and glanced upon it. This was one of the ways the MLB utilized this PR activity to its advantages. The press conferenced held to announce the fixture released with the assurance of the season starting gave fans the confidence to purchase early bird tickets.

Opinion Piece:

To be fair, I’m not a fan of Major League Baseball but I did appreciate the efforts they took in making this activity a success. Fans and supporters of MLB were able to associate with the message been put across and identified with it. The MLB has shown over the years the use of social media and digital platforms to stream games, press conference and enhance media coverage when it comes to PR campaigns.

❣️ Star In My Mind - I’m so happy that this is meeting my expectations exactly lol I’m loving it so much! 🥺 I was looking forward to it and it’s exactly what I was hoping it would be. And though the plot seems like something you would find in a 2016 bl, it still has a lot of modernity to it and is a lot of fun to watch. I definitely missed the Gmmtv FriGay madness lol and it's good to see Joong again. Kluen and Nuea are adorable and a shoutout goes to the friend group because they’re iconic lol. 12/10 I’m obsessed.

On April 22nd, after making a transatlantic trip from Montreal to Berlin, and dedicating months of free labor, the artist and self-called curator Mirjana Mitrovic arbitrarily decided to expel me from her exhibition “Third Space Walk. Flaneusen* zwischen virtuellen und materiellen Stadträumen”, to be presented at Galerie im Medienhaus at the Universität der Künste Berlin on May 2nd, 2022. Additionally, she removed me from the artist presentation at the Feminist Geographers symposium, which did not allowed any critical feedback to her project.

In this letter I want to expose the lack of accountability and unethical practices I’ve experienced while working with Mirjana Mitrovic, whose artworks commonly speak on behalf of the Mexican experience of feminism. Despite this fact she has performed an unfair role of power in our “collaboration”, which she ended without thinking about the consequences of my precarious situation, traveling overseas to set up the exhibition. 

I first met her in January in Mexico City. She invited me to a series of workshops under the topic  “The Role of the Flaneuse.” I attended along with other Mexican women. She invited all of us to participate in her curated exhibition and PhD thesis, to be presented in a UdK Art Student Gallery. During the workshops in Mexico, she showed us her main exhibition idea, the gallery plans, the exhibition schedule, and extended an invitation for everyone to travel to Berlin to attend and develop the pieces for her project. So far, I was the only one who agreed to come from overseas and support her exhibition. Only later did I recognize that she was expecting free labor from all the artists that she invited, who had to manage their own expenses, not considering the precariousness of our situation.

Before I bought the tickets I talked to her several times about my willingness to help her set up the exhibition and de-installation process. She was very happy about my travel schedule because she would be receiving a lot of support and unpaid labor from me. I presented a project proposal that fit into her curatorial statement. However, I explained to her that the project was developed in collaboration with my long term colleague Veronica Mockler, a person who offered me her total artistic support. I explained this to Mirjana and she agreed on the extension of my collaboration. After this discussion, we bought our plane tickets and Mirjana agreed via text and voice messages to host us at her home during the production and post-production of the exhibition, which would last from April 21st to May 9th. 

Her original exhibition plans were affected by personal issues with the director of the gallery, so Mirjana decided to cancel her exhibition. When she called me for a meeting she requested that we change or cancel our flights. I told her that the tickets were not refundable or exchangeable and therefore it was impossible to do it without losing all our money (up to $900). After that turn of events, our collaboration became less convenient for Mirjana. She told us we could now only stay in her house 9 days instead of the original 18, arguing that she needed her studio and that I had other housing possibilities.

In order to support us in our exhibition plans, she reserved a multi-use gallery in the university for a preview of her exhibition and the presentation of our AR Walk on May 2nd. We agreed and thanked her for the opportunity. To provide more platforms for collaboration, she also invited us to be part of the Geo Fem symposium on Thursday April 28th, where we could present a bit of our walk as part of a “sneak peak” of her exhibition presentation. 

The additional activities to those that we originally proposed for her exhibition were: two collective walks on May 5th and 7th, and one workshop on April 23th to integrate local voice and site-specificity into our piece. Even if she was excited and saw a great outcome about these sets of events, later on she limited her involvement to only the dissemination of them, but not providing any liaison or logistical organization.

In order to receive funding for a travel grant from Concordia University, we needed one official letter from her UdK institution; so that was the only petition that we had to financially sustain our trip. She expressed a bit of frustration when we asked for an official letter of invitation issued by the UdK. Then she felt offended when I personally contacted the organizers of the Geo Fem symposium requesting a letter for my participation. This ambiguity in her position of power and shared authority created a lot of tension in our communication process. Therefore I asked for a last meeting where we could speak clearly about our respective roles and expectations in the participation of her exhibition. 

In the meeting she voiced her own complaints, revealing that she does not consider our role as “guest artists” and is only “inviting me” to develop a project for an exhibition. Despite the fact that Mirjana is the main curator and this is her thesis project, she doesn't take accountability as an organizer. She complained that she is doing more than is expected and can't keep up with our project requests. With this she also added that Veronica was never invited by her to the project and that she was not comfortable hosting her; she then contradicted herself by offering housing for her at the end of the meeting. By this point, her statements made me feel gaslighted and my collaborator extremely uncomfortable, who reconsidered her involvement in the project to only do the technical aspects. Veronica was no longer comfortable with the idea of staying with Mirjana, which jeopardized our collaboration and Veronica’s housing situation. 

Her lack of empathy and economic privilege was clear when I expressed my anxieties of being a low income student who is working with side jobs, yet still willing to make this project happen with no compensation. She coldly responded that if that was the case then I simply shouldn’t travel to Berlin, dismissing all the labor that we had already put into this project, all while seeking our own funding and receiving no artist fees. Her words put into perspective the reproduction of patriarchal and exploitative labor conditions in artistic projects without clear sustainability. 

She expressed in the meeting that we could cancel as many events as we wanted if that was better for us. Based on her words, I set my own limits while honoring the original agreements such as lectures, and the production and presentation of the AR walk. I decided to work only under the time that I could provide as a full time student developing an art project. Therefore we decided to cancel the workshop and the participatory walks. I also eliminated activities that involved hardware technology. These changes were implemented in an attempt to achieve a fair balance and avoid being exploited and overwhelmed by this asymmetrical relationship. Unfortunately, after I sent that email, Mirjana gave us the silent treatment (like many other times) and disappeared for days. This unresponsive attitude reflects her lack of respect for us, dismissing our efforts to resolve this layered issue of power from her side. 

Finally, she answered with a condescending tone and demanded to meet in person. Due to my academic commitments I was unable to meet in person even though I offered to meet online. Almost like a punishment act, she canceled the presentation at the UdK gallery, plus my removal from the presentation at the Geo Fem symposium. These unethical and preponderant actions violate our agreements and travel accommodations made in the frame of a “collaboration”. As you might imagine, the cancellation challenged us emotionally as well as logistically, since we needed to report these activities to Concordia in order to receive financial support.  

Sadly, our collaboration has been canceled by her, but as far as I know, Mirjana will work with other female artists from Mexico who might be in a more vulnerable position than me, who will likely experience similar traumatic and precarious conditions. I believe that this vicious circle of unethical representation and lack of accountability should be questioned by feminists who embrace critical thinking. 

Sincerely,

Amanda Gutierrez

She coldly responded that if that was the case then I simply shouldn’t travel to Berlin, dismissing all the labor that we had already put into this project, all while seeking our own funding and receiving no artist fees. Her words put into perspective the reproduction of patriarchal and exploitative labor conditions in artistic projects without clear sustainability. 

She expressed in the meeting that we could cancel as many events as we wanted if that was better for us. Based on her words, I set my own limits while honoring the original agreements such as lectures, and the production and presentation of the AR walk. I decided to work only under the time that I could provide as a full time student developing an art project. Therefore we decided to cancel the workshop and the participatory walks. I also eliminated activities that involved hardware technology. These changes were implemented in an attempt to achieve a fair balance and avoid being exploited and overwhelmed by this asymmetrical relationship. Unfortunately, after I sent that email, Mirjana gave us the silent treatment (like many other times) and disappeared for days. This unresponsive attitude reflects her lack of respect for us, dismissing our efforts to resolve this layered issue of power from her side. 

Finally, she answered with a condescending tone and demanded to meet in person. Due to my academic commitments I was unable to meet in person even though I offered to meet online. Almost like a punishment act, she canceled the presentation at the UdK gallery, plus my removal from the presentation at the Geo Fem symposium. These unethical and preponderant actions violate our agreements and travel accommodations made in the frame of a “collaboration”. As you might imagine, the cancellation challenged us emotionally as well as logistically, since we needed to report these activities to Concordia in order to receive financial support.  

Sadly, our collaboration has been canceled by her, but as far as I know, Mirjana will work with other female artists from Mexico who might be in a more vulnerable position than me, who will likely experience similar traumatic and precarious conditions. I believe that this vicious circle of unethical representation and lack of accountability should be questioned by feminists who embrace critical thinking. 

How to watch, and what to watch for in the 2022 Kentucky Derby

Everything you need to know ahead of the race.

The 2022 Kentucky Derby is around the corner, and with it the beginning of the Triple Crown. It will be an attempt to return to normality, not just from the Covid pandemic, but controversy after Medina Spirit, the winner of the 2021 Derby, was disqualified due a positive test for betamethasone. The fallout from the test led to the suspension of trainer Bob Baffert from Churchill Downs until the conclusion of the 2023 Kentucky Derby.

This really shapes the 2022 race. The exclusion of Baffert opens up the field and truly makes it anyone’s race. It’s no so much that Baffert-trained horses won all the time, but that his presence was a constant when it came to the Triple Crown, and horses from his stable were always in the mix to at least place in the event.

The big favorite is 2022 is Zandon, currently listed at 3-1 odds. The three-year-old colt has been a force since beginning his career in late 2021, and while he only had four races to his name, Zandon has never finished lower than third. The horse enters the 2022 derby following a dominant almost-two second win at the Blue Grass Stakes in early April, which saw Zandon beat Smile Happy and Ethereal Road, both of whom are running in the 2022 Kentucky Derby.

Anything else I should know?

Country music star Brittney Spencer is singing the national anthem before the race.

Also, if you want to really get in the mood for the event with a mint julep it’s super simple, assuming you can find good mint. I highly recommend Alton Brown’s recipe and technique, which works flawlessly.

7th April 2022

I tried to understand the world, how it works, how to life.

I thought I found the answer back days, when I have a routine schedule of my daily life before I got a job.

Now, I'm wondering again, what the essence of life, what am I looking for, what purpose?

What I knew is, I am not happy, this is not what I want, I am not coorporate slave I guess.

I want to start my own bussiness, this is what I always wanted. Always.
