Ron322

I finished streaming Hades on Twitch fresh outta watching the National Puerto Rican Day Parade. Honestly, I wish I had reached the conclusion sooner but I did it. I also had reached a certain point when it comes to gaming content on my channel where I may want to change the approach. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy playing the games and adding my analysis and commentary but at some point, I just…want to capture the moments that mattered to me and share it instead of all of it. True to my word, the episodes will be at a Sunday 9am-5pm slot for all to see and catch up. Will I add timestamps to them in time? Yes but not on the exhausting degree that I did before.

After 7/5, it’s time to lock back in to writing, drawing and music; not in that particular order but all three must be fed.

I miss doing that. I know I’m more than just a dude that loves sharing the love of games. Time is also both my ally and nemesis; I must cooperate with them in a manner that feeds us both.

I’m on day 4 of my staycation and I woke up to Greyjoy making biscuits on my left shoulder. That felt like heaven to me. I’m also sore from the resistance band workouts I did at home the last 2 days and yet I feel happy about it because I did them with a sense of calm. I didn’t feel like I had to rush them because I had to go to work or because of some “hey get on your shit” mindset. I did it because I wanted to and more importantly, working the parts that mattered to me the most to maintain functionality and strength in. Before I became Ron322, they called me Ron Gunz for a reason — big arms and were my most notable feature; they’re also possibly the easiest to develop but trust and believe I’ll still put work into other parts.

The National Puerto Rican Day Parade is an event I never attended. Not even in the 28 years of being born and raised in Brooklyn. It’s likely the same reason I never attended the New Years Eve party in Times Square — too many people, too much hoopla, too much energy. Then again, at 41, being a Tampa resident for about 13 years, it gave me a sense of perspective on who I’ve always been. I like my peace. If it’s 4-5 people, cool. Once we hit 6-7+, I start to experience sensory overload. I was always this way with family. Even in a rock band setting — if the band is too big, my brain will scramble. If I have to juggle more than 2-3 things, I’m going to eventually lose my shit.

Additionally as a creator, at my age, I find myself wanting to connect with other creators of Boricua descent. It wont be easy but I know we’re all out here and each with distinct skills, talent and stories to tell.
