In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In which we talk a bit about Zach D'onofrio!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday and weekend to you! I'm so glad to have you here!! How are you today? How are things going? As always, I wish you the best! What that sounds to you: when I say I wish you the best? Sounds shallow and meningless right? Maybe... well, I do, I want you to have a nice day, and if the day is not nice I hope your future may be better than that, I wish you a nice meal, I wish you a good surprise, and a hug, and a good moment, and if you don't receive that now maybe you might receive that later, I wish you nice friends, if you don't have any now maybe you might have one later. Of course, I know life is in your hands, of course I believe in live your life in the way you found it to be better and take the best use of every moment - though this is an ideal rather than the reality, I don't do that all the time, but it doesn't make this useless, it's important to have a goal. I do believe though also that the universe is hard to predict, there're some stuff we cannot control, sometimes good things come out of nowhere, sometimes bad things come out of nowhere. Well, that's where I come in. I wish that the unpredicatble events in life might be the best possible, hope your mood is always good and your brain is in the right place. Well... of course this is not going to happen all the time, but I just wish you the best. Anyway, what a long monologue. Today I just wanted to talk a little about one of my favorite artists I discovered in 2018! Zach D'onofrio of the last season of The American Idol!

Here's Zach btw, his voice is superb

Now, this is gonna be more of an appreciation post than me talking about his bio or personal facts about him or anything like that, and I won't be getting into technical details too much, just wanted to talk about my thoughts on him and do him an appreciation post. Well....
I discovered Zach completely out of nowhere in some point of early 2018, thanks to another amazing singer Austin Giorgio. Austin is a jazz artist who was competing in one of my favorite TV Shows back then: The Voice. He indicated Zach in his insta story, and since I love Jazz and was becoming a fan of Giorgio, decided to check in Zach, and was impressed by his talent and amused by his Instagram feed, so I followed him, and the rest is history, I quickly became a fan of his as well! He was competing on another TV Show back then, American Idol, one that I only heard of, never watched and frankly didn't have a lot of interest in it, but inspite of this I became a fan of Zach!
Zach is pretty amusing honestly, that was my first impression of him, with his big glasses, his funny clothes, his exotic socks, his chirpy talking voice. I love big glasses (I proudly am using one rn), I'm mad about funny clothes, his socks showed me that socks can be nice too, and helped me see them in a different way, a whole new universe indeeed, I love clothes, and my voice is chirpy too, though even his talking voice is better than mine, and I can't sing. I felt really connected to him because of that, there was someone in this world similar to me in one sense, this is always good to see. Now, his singing voice is absolutely EXTRAORDINARY!!!!!! It's profound, rich, and so powerful, and I feel a little inocent too, but not too much, I think hopeful as well! It's wonderful to see a person close to my age singing amazing big band jazz songs, I love Jazz, I don't listen to it all the time, but I do love it, and I love to see jazz artists not letting this singular rhythm die. If we deposit our hopes on Zach, I think there's a nice chance it will never perish indeed! This are only my first impressions, of course, but I do think he's incredible and going places! I'm a mad fan of his, I'm always annoying him on his Instagram with my comments of "YOU'RE SO GOOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AAAAAAAA" (yes, I use caps a lot) and on Twitter too with "PLEASE FOLLOW ME I'M SUCH A FAN YOUR VOICE IS FANTASTIC I'M DYING OKAY AAA AAA AAA", I'm that kind of fan, not too proud about it, but anyway...
I also did a fanart on him, back in April! It's not my best sketch, and it was extremely hard to do it, but I'm such a fan, I wanted to make a homage to him, and he even retweeted it!!! 


It was tricky as hell to draw the glasses and fit his eyes into it, but anyway, at least I think him and some people like it, and I think I liked it a little too, so yes... 
This post is getting so long, oh my freaking God! I should stop rn before you throw your computer out of the window! If you're still here, you're the best, and I just wanted to talk a little about Zach! I'm even trying to write a fanfic with him as a character! Don't know if I'll finish it, but anyway, just trying some ideas so far...
And go check on Zach, he's amazing, his user on Twitter is @zachdonofrio, his user on Instagram is @zach_donofrio and his youtube channel is this one, go check his channel and I think you might agree with me, HE REALLY CAN SING!

And yes, that's it for today! See you next time, dear reader!
PS: I LOVE HIS LAST NAME SO MUCH, D'ONOFRIO, IT'S SO WONDERFUL, I MEAN, D'ONOFRIO, AAAA (I'll stop now)
