Starin\’ at the Highway Through My Rear View: 2021

My Dream of 2022

I have but two for 2022: get my RAV4 fixed, and find a new home where I can continue my path.

Perhaps I\’ll have more dreams in 2023. But it seems like I\’ve already gotten a lot from 2021 to not worry about what I\’d like out of 2022.

After all…

I\’m a VTuber

From a single post on my Tumblr\’s newsfeed in 2012, I wound up a VTuber in 2021. I\’m leaving a lot out here, but, as The Fixx once sang, one thing leads to another. You can find me working out the kinks on my Twitch channel for now; my plan is to stream on my YouTube channel (where I keep all of my VODs) once everything is smoothed out; you only get one chance to make a first impression, after all.

And a Social Media Manager

My content creation took another leap in October, when my friend reached to me to help him with social media for Podium eSports, the biggest player in the sim racing game whose name isn\’t NASCAR. Little did I know I would end up taking the role of social media assistant for the group. Or that I would handle social media for a couple of other accounts during events.

And a Promoter

Take your phone out right now, turn on the camera app, and aim it at that QR code. It\’ll take you to the website for Rich Energy: The Book, which will be out in 2022. Until then, I\’ll be promoting the book via the Rich Energy: The Book: The McLaren McLaren 570S GT4 in the 24 Hours of Lemons iRacing League during every endurance racing event throughout the coming year.

And a Flag Carrier

When not promoting books (and even when I am), I\’m promoting VTubers.

Okay, just the one: an airline-themed VTuber by the name of Lilybelle. She loves to travel, and she\’s just trying her fuckin\’ best. And I am honored to fly her blue-and-white (and other shades of blue) in Lemons and beyond. May it one day be to a top finish on the podium.

At one point, I also flew the colors of Isekai Inc., an upstart VTuber agency which, for now, is on the backburner. Who knows what the future holds, though!

And a Sim Racer

This is from when I carried the Lilybelle Air colors into battle in the eRacr Firecracker 400. I decided to leave the comfortable confines of the Lemons iRacing League to compete in events where everyone had an iRacing A license or better, and used wheels and pedals to get to victory.

I did my fuckin\’ best with an XBox One controller at events like the Firecracker 400, plus races put on by Podium eSports and Maconi Setup Shop. My records there look a lot like this Chevy Monte Carlo.
