nobody cares, dude

I feel like I had to get something out there, to keep pushing myself. And don't think for one second I wasn't begging for the Colonel Sanders image to work it's way into the thumbnail. It's foundational to the whole part of my audience that experience this visually.

a brief episode about Mojo and how it's not as bad as it sounds. Usually.

I'm going with the original title instead of the alternate title "the hardest 6:34 of my life, thus far", because it's neither fair nor accurate to equate Mojo with negativity.

A Joshua Ray Walker update!:  @JoshuaRayWalker  , me trying to document a panic attack, and a some insight into the rougher times.

I've been working on some of these for a while. I did this one first to help establish some context, sort of a "why I did what I did" behind a lot of these things.

nothing big - trying to get back intp the flow. Shaking off a lot of mental funk I collected over the past few days

Here are links to some of the positive mental health podcasts I've found that were helpful to me: "The Mental Illness Happy Hour" https://mentalpod.com/ These are very good, but a lot longer than my attention span allows for. "Depresh Mode" https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/depresh-mode Again, very good content, just kinda long

I've been thinking a lot about college lately.

I recorded this one a week and a half ago. Sorry for the delayed posting. It took a while to get this one right for some reason

it's been a couple of days.

 @MichaelClevelandFiddle  I really wish I could get the in-video URL things to work. Here's the URL for the paperclip thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip

I know I got the network wrong. Sue me. I'm kidding. Please don't sue. kthanx  @TheTinyChefShow   @mattymatheson 

no one to tag on this one. Just about me being back where I spent the pandemic
