I've been running all my life tryin' to find who I am and I'm sick of it. Yeah, I'd give anything if I could quit. But I can't stop until it all makes sense.

So I spend some nights just staring at the sky wondering why I am even here. And I challenge, God, Himself to prove he's there, and for a moment I don't feel so scared.

I, don't think I can be the same, it makes me want to change, and go the other way.

Everyone at one point has probably had the same thoughts. This song is deep and so underrated. I'm so glad I rediscovered it today.

You're looking for a distant light, someone who can save a life. You're living in fear, that no one will hear your cry: Can you save me now?

I am with you. I will carry you through it all. I won't leave you. I will catch you, when you feel like letting go, because you're not alone.

Your heart is full of broken dreams. Just a fading memory. And everything's gone, but the pain carries on.

Lost in the rain again, when will it ever end? The arms of relief, seem so out of reach, but I, I am here.

I am with you. I will carry you through it all. I won't leave you. I will catch you, when you feel like letting go, because you're not alone.

And I will be your hope, when you feel like it's over.

And I will pick you up, when your whole world shatters.

And when you're finally in my arms, look up and see, love has a face.

I am with you. I will carry you through it all. I won't leave you. I will catch you, when you feel like letting go, because you're not alone.

~ God

A beautiful, uplifting message, isn't it? Those are lyrics from the song “Not Alone” by Red.

Best movie I’ve watched in 2025: King of Kings

Brought my kids to watch this movie, but ended up thoroughly enjoying this myself. It's a great retelling of the story of Jesus, based off a story or book that Charles Dickens wrote for his kids. The twist in this movie is that, it is portrayed in such a way where a kid walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice.

Best new video game I've played in 2025: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

This game has somewhat ruined the traditional turn based JRPG genre for me. It revolutionizes the genre so much, modernized it, that I have a hard time going back to the traditional JRPG experience. I've actually tried to play the older Final Fantasy games and found them to be boring. It's totally unfair of me to judge old games this way, but this just shows how much Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has changed my expectations of games going forward.

Also, in my gaming blog I hinted at this being Game of the Year material, and it is. It received multiple awards from various video game awards ceremonies this year. Truly one of the best video games to have come out in a long time.

Best new rock song I’ve listened to in 2025: “We’re All Gonna Die” by NOTHING MORE

Could listen to this song all day. It is dark but meaningful. The song's vibes and melody reminds me of songs from My Chemical Romance and Escape the Fate. The best part of this song is the line “Hello, darkness, my old friend” during the bridge, an obvious nod to the “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel.

Best new anime I’ve watched in 2025: Kaiju No. 8

This was a recommendation from my brother in law and wow am I so happy he recommended it. It is funny and action packed with a great plot line. I've very much enjoyed watching this with my kids. My eldest son became such a fan, that for Christmas, he actually asked Santa for a Kaiju. No. 8 book.

Best new TV show I’ve watched in 2025: Physical Asia

Did not think I would like this show, but I was intrigued enough to watch it because Manny Pacquiao was in it. Pacquaio's inclusion was actually “meh”, but this show turned out to be really entertaining and thrilling at times. It was fun to root for a team and their athletes. Even though in the end, it seemed like it favored a specific team, I think it was still a good watch. It was good enough that my kids actually enjoyed watching it with me and the wife. The best thing about this show though, is how it influences me to try to be more fit and healthy. Any show that does that and is also entertaining, is a good one in my opinion.

Best book I’ve read in 2025: The Strength of the Few by James Islington

This is book 2 of the Hierarchy Series, from the author of The Licanuis Trilogy which I very much enjoyed. So technically, I didn't finish reading this book yet, because it only came out last November. But I've been waiting for this book to come out, since I finished reading The Will of the Many back in late 2024. That book ended so dramatically that I was left flabbergasted and itching to read the next one. I had to wait a year for this second book to come out and it doesn't disappoint! Looking forward to finishing this in 2026.

We burn the map, we miss the turn We made every mistake you'd think we'd learn But somehow it still feels like home Even when we're lost and broke

These late night drives, the empty streets The promises we swore we'd keep I'll raise a glass to every wrong 'Cause that's the reason we belong

And maybe one day we'll forget But tonight we're not done yet

Here's to the mess we made To every plan that we betrayed To broken hearts and wasted time To knowing we'll be just fine Here's to the nights we can't replace The scars that we still wear with grace We'll scream until there's nothing left Here's to the mess, it's all we've got left

We cut our teeth on gasoline We lit the match, we chased the dream We never thought we'd make it here But chaos got us through the years So don't look back, just sing along We're not the kids we were but we're still strong We'll carry all these stupid scars Like trophies from a battle star

And maybe we'll grow up someday But for now, we'll stay this way

Here's to the mess we made To every plan that we betrayed To broken hearts and wasted time To knowing we'll be just fine Here's to the nights we can't replace The scars that we still wear with grace We'll scream until there's nothing left Here's to the mess, it's all we've got left It's all we've got left

If life's a joke, then let it play We'll laugh until it fades away And when it's gone, at least we'll know We left it all inside the show

Here's to the mess we made To every risk we weren't afraid To all the tears and all the fights To turning darkness into light Here's to the nights that built our bones The friends we found, the love we've known We'll scream until there's nothing left Here's to the mess, our beautiful mess

Now once again I find myself inside an empty silhouette I’ll dance around until the light finds me Poison everything you said you loved The stuff that fills me up, I feel it burning away underneath my sweater ♪ ♫ ♪
