Winding It Down

Thanksgiving this year just kind of came and went.  I don’t care much for Thanksgiving and really haven’t cared much for it since 2021.  It’s amazing what happens to one’s relationship with food when one suddenly doesn’t have much of an appetite.  I don’t eat much these days.  I don’t gorge at Thanksgiving like I used to and in some weird way, I’m okay with it.  It’s the medication I take.  Doctor’s orders.  Not much I can do, except not eat as much as I used to.

So, it would appear that Open Diary will be dying again at the end of January 2026.  That’s probably just as well, considering how for much of this year, the site has been overrun by spam and other silly posts from those trying to sell us shit we don’t need or should ever want.  Who visits OD with the intent on learning from where to purchase Social Security numbers?  Spells to get our exes back (or getting in contact with Lord Honeycomb or whatever the hell his name is)?  Buying GH accounts?  Buying OF accounts?  No thanks.  Fuck all of that dumb shit.

I don’t know how much more I’ll be writing, being that the site has a pending death date and after January, it won’t matter anymore.  I guess I still have time, I suppose.

Being that we’re approaching the end of 2025, maybe I want to go ahead and think back to the year that was, even though I’m doing it a bit prematurely, being that we’re not even out of November yet.  Whatever.  It’s not like it matter anymore anyway.

I had some friendships end this year.  That’s probably just as well, being that there’s nothing I can do about those situations.  The best thing to do there is to stop caring about those people and refocus my attention on other things, other more deserving people, and/or maybe other interests.  In the end, if I can trim the fat and be rid of people who aren’t worth a damn, I’ll be better for it.

I’ve made some new connections at work and in various other facets of my life.  I’ve even had some people from my past resurface and I’ve been able to rekindle some connections, that for a few months and even years, had gone momentarily dark.  Nothing like seeing some old faces come back into focus and even some of the new ones have proven to be decent people.  I might still be an introvert, but for whatever the reason, I can’t seem to keep people away from me.  Oh, that’s proven to be quite the curse for me too, establishing connections with people.  What am I to do?

Call of Duty sucks this year, which frankly, was bound to happen sooner or later.  The franchise had been teetering for a few years now and there was bound to be another crap title released, much like when Infinite Warfare released several years ago.  Infinite Warfare sucked too.  I’ve since turned to Battlefield 6 in Call of Duty’s place.  Battlefield 6 is such a good game.  Definitely worth the time I’ve devoted to it.

I thought I had more to write.

Guess not.

This’ll do for now.
