Hey, it's ya' boi, stream-sniper69420.................. do I sound dated yet?

I hope so, it's been like 2 years since I've done anything here anyways. There's reasons for that, and they're not exactly pretty or pleasant, so let's get them out of the way.
Younger brother passed away in 2023 as previous journals mentioned, and the end of that year and then the following year - 2024, was kind of an up/down rollercoaster, but I did eventually find my feet, got back out in the world, and made 2024 alright up into the election.
Then 2025 started, what a shit-show that's been amiright? Well, it can always get worse I learned, my Father passed-away in his sleep back in April, and that was a sucker-punch I still feel today. It hurts, it doesn't feel fair - but at least he's with my brother now, and them both not having to experience what we are here in the US is in some way a 'blessing in disguise', if I even want to call it that (buncha' religious fruitcakes)

Anyways, why am I saying all this? why make a journal now?
I guess I just wanted to say "I'm not dead yet" and I might even poke around a little more, or not, who really knows?
But that's it for what I wanted to say, or at least it feels that way. I do also have a small backlog of uploads to share so you'll likely see me submit pieces over the weekend, I'll try to do it chronologically so that my gallery is back to up-to-date, and maybe I'll even start getting commissions here towards the fall.

That's it, for real this time. Until the next'
