More or less better. XD

Hopefully this will be the last of the sicky blogs. As it stands now, I'm more or less completely fine. I do have a feint sore throat, and a small cough, but that's it. Only thing I need back now is my voice. It's been shot from all the coughing! ;-;

Currently nommin' on some watermelon and thinking to play some Bad Company 2. See ya guys~

Feeling worse. x_x

Well, the cough started to clear up and all.. But now it's getting a bit worse. I hadn't eaten in 3 days, and then my mom brought Subway home last night for dinner. I can't ignore that, I love Subway. I ate about half of it and got stuffed, then about 30 minutes later it's for naught. I go into the bathroom to take a pee, then my body buckles over and the next thing I know I'm throwing my entire stomach up into the toilet. It was so odd, like.. No warning. I'd never been so dizzy and confused lol.

I'm trying my luck at a ham sandwich right now. Been drinking a ton of orange juice and water. I think orange juice has become my new favorite drink, haha.

Wish my luck on keeping this sandwich down ;_;

::Update::

Well.. The sandwich came back up, and pretty violently too. Uhg I feel horrible. Downing some medicine and more OJ, might take a nap.

Minecraft Beta 1.3

Holy poop the updates give me a raging boner.

New lighting engine for high detail smooth lighting, new items included beds. These are the only things that really came out but they're EPIC!

The game looks amazing now with the smoother lighting, rather than blocky shading. Also, the beds. When you sleep in a bed during the night time, it instantly becomes daytime (In multiplayer everyone has to be in a bed)

Might stream tonight if I stop coughing.

Slowly getting better.

Been downing cough drops, medicine, and orange juice a lot. Slept for about 48 hours in the last 3 days. My cough is starting to calm down, and the headaches aren't as frequent. I'm able to keep down food, and stay up a little longer now.

Hopefully I'll be good and ready to go, soon.

Sick as fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

If you watched last night's Livestream, you know that I'm sick. Coughing up a storm. It was pretty bad last night, but I've just woken up and it's so much worse. My throat is killing me, and I have a stuffy nose. Might not be streaming today because of it, don't want you guys to hear more sniffling than usual. ;_;

Oh MAN.

So me and Austin just got done with a 12 HOUR PLAY session of Minecraft. We're working more on the town (still unnamed), and we've gotten a few buildings done. So far the Church (Spawn area) has been finished 100%, the lighthouse 100%, the pub 100%, and Kilp's Sushi & Grill about 75%. We've also got roads and street lamps going through from each establishment. We're having such a good time with it, can't wait to show some crap to YouTube.

Anyway, I'm about to die. Sleep time!

Good night.

Streamed a good few hours of Minecraft with Austin, that's about it. Hadn't played for a while, so we started a new world. Our huge project is going to be to make a town. An entire town. We far we've gotten about half the island leveled, and a small barrier. The only house built is the one we use to stay in for the night.

Many days ahead for fun to be had. You can check it out on my Livestream channel, the streams should be listed as "minecrafttown" 1 and 2.

Now I needa get some shut eye. Night guys!

Ill as crap.

Okay so I think lately my body's trying to push the bad out of it. All at once. This post may be a little gross, but basically I just woke up and had to rush to the restroom. God knows what happened in there, but to make things even better is right when I got done, I threw up.

I mean I appreciate the thought, body, but for the love of god allow me to LIVE through your little spill. ;_;

tl;dr i feel horrid

Wooh!

Alright so things are off to a good start today.

Woke up at 8am, therefor my sleeping schedule is at a somewhat normal pace. Hoping I can keep it like that for the next week, haha. Been slowly cutting soda out of my diet. Already feeling better! My mother's going grocery shopping today, so actually eating right will take place. I've noticed over the last few weeks my appetite has dropped a ton. Like just now, I'd eaten a sandwich and I feel like I'd be fine if I didn't even finish it. I'm trying to go with that technique for when I get too hungry in between meals to just fill up on water. It works pretty well, haha. Nothing's better to me right now than some ice cold water.

On a financial note, tax returns! I let my mother claim me this year for the extra bit. She walked up to me and handed me $100 out of it, which was a surprise. My luck has it, she took it back later that night after losing her card LOL. She found it this morning, so all is well. She claims to have a "surprise" for me when she comes home today. I hate surprises, all it makes my mind do is go insane, and then the day goes by extremely slow. Hopefully I'll forget about it.

She's currently looking to buy a car. I was looking around craigslist last night, found some good deals. Only problem is that I have a hard time trusting that kind of stuff.

Oh, and another financial note for me. I've gotten "pre roll ads" enabled on my videos on YouTube now. I know a lot of you are probably like "Great, now we have to watch an annoying fucking commercial for 10 seconds before watching your amazing, completely outstanding work". Well.. Yea, basically. This is good for me, though. Being as YouTube is my job, I need to step up and try to make as much out of it as I can. This means focusing more on what the audience enjoys seeing, and trying to make the most out of ad hosting. I've read reviews that with pre roll commercial ads, a partner can make up to 230% more money. This would make things SO much better for me, because as a lot of you know, I'm neck deep in poverty. XD

One more thing. I'm going to try and do a lot more to get the word out about me. This means letting people know that simply telling a friend or two about my channel helps out more than you could imagine. If you guys could do what you can to let people know about my animations or recordings, it would mean the world to me.

That's it for today!

My sleeping scheduuuule.

It's so screwed up. It's about 10am and I'm about to lay down and pass out. I'm really starting to thing I've developed some sort of insomnia. x_x

EDIT EDIT EDIT

You know what? Nevermind. I'm going to stay up as long as I can today and fix my shit.

100 followers!

So today I gained my 100th follower. That's pretty awesome! I just wanted to say thanks, as well as for the support in the previous entry. <:

Some serious shit.

Alright so this blog will basically be me opening up to my readers.

Uhh, how to start..

Okay I'll jump right into it. I'm unhealthy. I'm not sick or anything, just.. Unhealthy. I am admittedly obese, and very out of shape. What do you expect from someone who spends their life behind a computer? Herpderp antisocial fat kids.

Well I'm not so much antisocial as I am afraid of the world. All of my friends in real life do drugs, and party. Just about everyone around here does. I tend to try and steer away from that, which ends up keeping me inside all the time. I do plan on getting a car here soon though, so I'll be out and about haha.

Okay back to the point. Obesity. I am fat, and I'm more or less done with it. Starting at this very moment I'm going to begin working toward a more healthy life. TBH something super simple triggered this. I was talking to my friend Austin, and he was talking about eating right and getting his 6 pack to show. I was actually surprised, because I'd seen pictures of him and he's buff, no joke.

Anyway, I decided, you know what? I'm going to do that too. I'm going to start eating right, and working out as much as I can (At a healthy basis, of course). The only thing that's really been standing in my way between me and doing that however, is poverty. Not a lot of people know, but I do live in some extremely harsh financial conditions. If you watch the Livestream a lot, you may notice I eat peanut butter jelly sammiches a lot. Well, that's because it's all my household ever has. It's cheap. A loaf of bread, peanut butter, and jelly. $10 a week feeds me and my mom. Well, as cheap as it may be, it's not healthy in the least bit. Especially considering on the side, it's always Pizza Hut or Burger King. Another factor is my drinking habbits. No, not alchohol. I mean soda. Literally all I drink is Pepsi. I'm dropping it. I look to my right shoulder right now, and two empty 2 liters are standing there after I sucked them down. I'll be replacing that with water.

I know you guys are probably like "Why the fuck do we care?". You don't need to care. I just feel like the only thing that could keep me motivated through this is other people knowing I'm doing it, and the fact that they're curious as to whether I'll be able to do it, or fail.

Let's go a tiny bit more in depth with the poverty. As a LOT of you know, GoldenTotProductions' youtube channel is my job. I am a YouTube partner and currently I rely on the income it brings in. YouTube partners or adsense hosts get paid any time someone views, or clicks on the hosts ad content. Partners earn a share of the income brought in by that click or view. Anyway, my mom also had 2 jobs. She works as a server at a New York themed resteraunt, and she worked a little during the week at Burger King. Burger King paid the rent right on the spot most of the time, and the main job payed most of the bills. Well, she recently lost her job at Burger King and I have to fill the cap. So now, using YouTube, I'm supporting myself as well as half of my mother's needs. I don't mind considering she's housed and taken care of me for the last 20 years, but it dents my plans.

Eating right costs a little money. A little money I don't have. Basically what I'm going to do is be more responsible with my money and every bit I don't spend on bills, will go towards a healthy diet. I'm planning fruits and vegies for about 90%, and maybe sometimes a cooked dinner with the mom. I don't know about you guys but I freaking LOVE fruits. I could eat them all day, and the beauty of it is that you can with almost no penalty to your weight loss goals.

Anyway, yea. I'm almost considering doing a video thing about it for extra motivation, but good lord I'm camera shy. LOL.

You guys are more than welcome to throw me suggestions. Work out tips for a fat kid that has no energy, food suggestions, and so on.

Sorry for the extremely long entry, I just wanted to get it off my chest. :)
