Well, I guess the first post should be about me, the following is what I am posting in the about me on this webpage. I should probably address what this project is. I am striving to make something for myself, my family and my friends. Yes my community as well, but quite honestly this is not about them, but I do believe if my plans bear any fruit, it will help my local community as well. Central Oregon, the place, Tabletop Lounge, the dream. I have some far-fetched dreams that will quite honestly never come to fruition, from buying the bowling alley in La Pine, to taking the old Costco in bend, and turning it into a gathering place like Frank And Sons in the City of Industry, CA. Of funding my hobby of pack opening through social media, to starting a business and turning the journey into a podcast with my friends who opened La Pine Tabletop Gaming, our local LGS for Magic: The Gathering. This is the beginning of a journey, of me starting with very little, reaching for the stars.
I am not a good person. I am not here to claim some hidden sainthood or to paint over my past with false colors.
I carry mistakes, regrets, and failures — as most people do, whether they admit it or not.
I don’t believe that only those without scars can create something meaningful.
This journey — to build a lounge, to build a community, to build a dream — is not about pretending to be pure. It’s about trying to build something better, knowing full well where I started.
I am Unholy Outcast for a reason.
This project isn’t about hiding behind a mask. It’s about trying, openly and honestly, to do better.
This will be the only time I address it. I won’t bring it up again in future posts or discussions.
I simply want it here — a marker at the beginning of the road — so that anyone who finds this project years later will know:
This was never about being perfect.
It was about daring to dream anyway.

P.S. A good friend of mine questioned the idea of this being the only time I address it. Why not show off my growth. After considering for a while, I think the line will remain, the reason is simple. The way I will show my growth is by me being a better version of me. Maybe in 5 years I may do a post saying I am now a good person, and have a new name to go with it. For now, I the Unholy, the Unworthy, will take each day at a time, take each step at a time, never forgetting who and what I was, but using that as the foundation of me becoming something I can be proud of.
P.P.S. My websites software is really cool, it is telling me what problems I have. For now I will not fully utilize it. I think this first post should be more raw, more genuine. I have too many consecutive sentences, with no subheading, I am not using enough transition words, as well as no images. My sentence length is to long, and my vocabulary is being questioned about suitability for the larger audiences. I will need to learn how to format my words better, and while I personally enjoy A.I. assistances. I think I will see how less filtering and altering works.
P.P.P.S. I am going to learn how to multi-post, but for now, I think the focus will be on the website, consistency, as well as quantifying my goals and plans during this month. With me doing a recap of what I have learned at the end of month.
