What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 622 & BENKYO RADIO 622.
Like many of my readers and fans, I also cannot afford a Playstation 5 yet. Thankfully, one day I was just casually scrolling through Twitter when I saw a video review from Greg Miller, a vlog celebrity in the gaming community. It was about the BACKBONE ONE gaming controller for iPhone. It costs $100. With this device, you can actually turn your iPhone into a little gaming machine. It’s pretty awesome. The ability to play videogames on your phone with your headphones on, and not be a nuisance by using the Television in the living room while your significant other or husband/wife, family member, or friend is busy doing something else, is pretty amazing.

Remember Introverts (and Extroverts), Freaks and Geeks, it’s a lot more fun to collect Playstation / Xbox / PC trophies, than to be stuck with a Trophy Wife or Trophy Husband. Don’t despair, it does get better. I know that High School seems like the longest 4 years of your life, but eventually, it does come to an end, and you will go to college, and you will have a much better time. Just be patient.
Remember the wise words of Great Teacher Onizuka, “don’t worry, I will make school interesting for you.”
You got too much homework to do? Come listen to BENKYO RADIO (Lofi music) and do a little bit every day. Eventually things will get better.
I used to get coffee by myself almost daily and sit in a coffeehouse for 2-3 years (a bit longer than that but anyway). Eventually I met someone. It didn’t happen overnight. I had to showcase my personality to prove than I am worthy. What are you doing to prove that you are worthy? Even if you do a little bit every day, when you look back you will be immensely proud. Keep up the good work, you can do it, I believe in you.
