This is being posted by my old account, as to prevent loss of my old blogs.

Hi, everybody! I'm posting this from the old account that I used with Blogger starting around 2016/17. Beginning today, Dec 1, 2023, Google is going to start deleting inactive users, INCLUDING their Blogspot blogs. Since the last post HERE was 2 weeks ago, that will NOT be an issue. However, MANY of my blogs on this account have not been posted to since the 2010s, which is a problem!

I will NOT post a new post to those sites, as to keep them "frozen in time", but considering this, I have logged in to this old Gmail TWICE today, so now I should be good for 2 years (so December 1, 2025) so I should not have to worry. I will likely close out 2023 by doing Google Takeout on this account for EVERYTHING (Blogger, Google Photos, etc.) and uploading them all to Unlim (an Android app/website in development that uses the free AND unlimited storage from Telegram that has a combined Google Drive and Google Photos interface) so I can keep them. There will likely be MANY DUPLICATES, but it will be BETTER that way! I will also archive ALL sites and ALL information to the Wayback Machine, so that if the sites DO get shut down, they will be archived to be seen permanently. I lost my pre-2018 blogs due to my old school blocking Blogger (they didn't just block Blogger, but they SHUT ALL OF MY SHIT DOWN! 😫😫😫😭😭😭), and I DON'T want my currently oldest blogs (circa 2017-19) to suffer the same fate!

Here's my game plan, although it may not be in order:

Do Google Takeout on this old account and upload ALL files to Unlim (including EVERYTHING from Google) - This will likely take a few days to a week

Archive ALL of my now dormant blogs on this account and ALL of their pages to the Wayback Machine so they can remain accessible forever - probably a few days' work, I could do it in 1 day though

Download ALL of my Google Photos uploads to my phone from my CURRENT account and SLOWLY upload them to Unlim - This will be the longest, it will likely take a month if not longer (Currently, my Unlim is at 1.5TB in size, if I do all these things, it will likely surpass 2TB! I'm guessing probably 2.3TB or something like that)

Considering I have 2 YEARS, I could likely "take it slow", HOWEVER, considering that the blogs themselves have had no uploads since the late 2010s, I'm not sure how long they would stay up before Google would shut them down as they have been dormant for more than 2 years, likely 4-6 years, WELL PAST the deadline! With this, MANY old blogs could reach their EXPIRATION DATE, and MANY Blogger sites will likely go down with the sinking ship. Because I DID login to this old account AND view an email AND write this post, I think I'm safe until December 1, 2025. However, Google has stated that they will give MONTHS long notice via email before they get deleted - so I have quite awhile!

Anyways, long post just to keep this site going - thanks for over 5 years! Happy December, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year 2024!

Happy June! Aren't you glad that school is almost over? (or already is if you are in college) My last day of school is June 24th! Summer is just around the corner! I'm very sorry I haven't posted lately, and that's just because it takes a lot of time to do a blog post, and I haven't had much time lately. But I want to start June on a nice note and start blog posting again! So, here's what I did yesterday, May 31 2019: I went to Chuck E Cheese! I have not been there since Dec 12 2015! (my 12th birthday) We went to support Mom's school that she works at, and I had a semi-good time. Unfortunately, the arcade was not the best time, but also not the worst. It's just because the jackpots were very low, and the arcade only had like 20 games, and the fact that most were kid-themed games. (like Paw Patrol) I had a good time on some of the games, but like I said, the jackpots were very low (but that's only because little kids can't comprehend big jackpo...

It's Been A While... Happy New Year BTW

Personal note: Blogging is SO (before) 2022. Stay up to date with my content in 2023 onwards on my Instagram @tr27.official  (follow if you want to, it's up to you.) 325 followers as of 3:08PM EST, 12/31/2022. Eras aren't forever, and everything and every era must eventually come to an end, and that likely includes my time here on this site as my blogging era has come to a quiet end. However, NOTHING WILL BE DELETED. EVER. All content made on this site will remain from the past 4 years, and will remain as long as Blogger's servers remain online. If Blogger does ever shut down, ALL CONTENT HERE WILL BE ARCHIVED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY LINK. EVERY POST. EVERYTHING. I am strongly anti-deletion, and I shall stay that way, 2022 or 2023 or whatever year it is that you are reading this. Once posted on the internet, EVERYTHING LASTS FOREVER. AND I SUPPORT THAT. Anyways, here's my post: It's been a while since I last posted. As you can probably tell, I last posted on April 8, ...

My High School Years: Episode II (9/14/18)

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 2. Summary: I went to a tag sale and found a 2000s relic: A 1GB MEMORY CARD! I also went with Dad to Holyoke Mall to eat, and I also went to Holyoke Mall to get Melanie's new phone! Believe it or not, this was the last week that they sold the iPhone X; see my post about that  here . I also went to River Valley Market, and that was fun. I went to the YMCA to pick up Melanie. I went to the dentist, which was a quick 10 minutes and EASY. I also went to Kisara. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E3 ! Updated 2/18/19.
