Weird, Ominous Title

"What kind of cryptic title is that?" you must be wondering. I am wondering the same thing, too. Why did I choose such an unimaginative title after such a long weblog absence? 🤨 Should I not choose something more eye-catching? Probably. I probably should. So. Eh. Yeah. I guess we are wondering about the elephant girl in my bedroom right? 🐘 Yes, there is a giantess masquerading as an elephant in my bedroom! 🤥 Oh noes! How da hell do I get this freak out of my bedroom?! 😱 Gotcha! 😜 That sure spiked your eyes, eh? Good. Now we can continue along this conversation.

The Great 2026 Guuzakan Drought

I know, I know. The 2020s has seen gravely, record-breaking bouts of unproductivity periods. 🥀 Disappointing. But fear not! For the brands are going nowhere. 😌 They may have had their droughts, but they are not empty shouts. I cannot promise any deadlines, but between now and an unspecified time, I am working to refamiliarise myself with where exactly I left off, updating myself with platform changes, and other things. 1 of which I learned is how YouTube plans to move the goalpost for monetisation. 🙃 Anything to make money off of people for as long as possible without actually paying them. And reasons like this are exactly why it is so important to have multiple streams of income. As well as not tying your identity to 1 platform. Obvious enough to many, but nevertheless remains an important reminder.

There does not seem to be too much that has drastically changed on Reddit, YouTube, Bluesky, and Instagram from a surface level. Well, Instagram actually has a lot of tidbits I have never delved deep into, so I will have to get around to those soon. Out of all of the mentioned, Reddit and Bluesky definitely nothing major. YouTube does not look too different thus far, but I still have some investigating to do. 🔍

Viewers Apparently Still There

I can see that even in the midst of these brutally long absences, the subscriber count is still going up, albeit, predictably very slowly. 🤯 Thank you for still believing in my brands, and understanding that they will eventually return to consistency. 🙏🏾

Marching Into April Showers 2026

When you see this, you are most likely thinking of the seasonal expression "April showers bring May flowers" right? 😀 In the case of parts of Ontario, the last day of March has been raining on and off all day. 🌧 During the wee hours of the morning there was a severe thunder storm that was so intense, numerous people, myself as witness, felt an intense vibration in the house! 😱⛈ And even now as I type this the rain is coming down hard. 😶 I hear some rumbles... More lightning is on the way. ⚡

3 Months Into Year 2026 Why U No Upload?!

😳😳😳 Alright, alight, you want a proper, adult-like explanation, right? 😅 No, I am not dead. No, I am not quitting. No, I have not forgotten about Guuzaka and Atazaka. Wrestling with the unproductivity rut has been a long, grueling fight, but I have not surrendered! 😤🌠

February Absence

Quick, late night post to address the elephant in the room: my absence for the entire February 2026. 😶 Yeah, that was awkward. 😳 Even more awkward when I see that the subscriber count has climbed to 469, getting real close to 500. This shows that people have clearly not given up on my brands, and I am grateful for that. 🙏🏾 Which is exactly why I do these kinds of posts to let both casual viewers and fans know what is going on. 👀 Had I been more consistent over the few years, that could have easily been 5000 minimum, and even beyond! Realistically, maybe 15,000 maximum at this point.  By absence, I am not talking about the uploads, which is a whole other topic on its own, but the fact that I simply did not sign in till now. 😶 I think. Maybe once way earlier, but I cannot recall. 😱 Well, that is all for now with this quick, vague update. Let us March forward into March! 🌠

About that. Canada, please permanently abolish Daylight Savings Time and keep the time on Standard Time all year long. Can I hear all the people say amen? 😶

Just At The Title Says

Just wanted to post something on the very first day of Year 2026! 🎉 Now, if you are reading this from Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and or even Newfoundland, January 02, 2026 is already here. 😅 My channel was not exactly active in 2025, but I was not completely devoid of uploads either. 😳 Well, hopefully you had a safe and memorable New Year's Day, and may 2026 bring blessings, peace, health, and wealth. 🌟🙏🏾🌟

Caught Off Guard

So 1 of my goals for Year 2025 was to try and post at least 1 blog post per month. 😀 I was doing good, till October and now I lost the streak. 😣 Damn! Well, it was just 1 month, so as long as I do not skip December, that will be 11 out of 12 months I was consistent. 😅 "Guuzaka, address the elephant in the room" 🐘 Heh, what elephant? 😳 The video uploads? I swear I talk about that in just about every entry. Is there really any point in me talking about that once again in Noble November? 🤨 "Yes, you are abysmally behind, brother" Ohhhh, I know, I know! 😣 Someday, the Great Green Guuzaka shall be free. 🕊 But till then, though... There is solar system of things to clear. 🌌👀 Ehhhhhh, maybe not the best analogy to use? 😶 That makes things sound out of this world bad! 🪐 Get it? 🤓Going beyond Earth is out of this world! 👽 There. There is your Guuzakan start to Noble November. Fine, No Nut November since you were secretly, but not so secretly, waiting for me to make a joke about how one must not ejaculate for the entirety of November. 💦 Wow. 😶Now this entry is 18+! 🔞 But for real though, people can come up with some seriously nutty challenges. 🥜 Some challenges are genuinely fun and safe. 🌞 Some challenges have caused death and made news. ⚰ If you ask me, I prefer to sit out and watch the results of these "Internet Challenges". 😌

Slack September

Precisely What You See

Slack September is exactly that: the fact that my productivity towards my brands has not been as high as it should have been. 😳 Well, while there were no uploads, that does not mean that I have actually been totally still. The complete opposite! Ready for some good-bad news? I have entirely cleared the ground work for the Atazaka brand from Year 2023 up to present, September 2025. 😲🤯😱 Yes, for real. No, it was not exactly easy, but I figured that due to light nature of Atazaka, it made strategic sense to free him from video debt, to make things more streamlined for his heavy-duty, flagship brother, Guuzaka. Alright, so what is the bad news? Well, a good chunk of the Atazakan videos are... Not exciting. 😶 It was not until after revisiting the videos, that I realised I was dumping too many boring online grocery unboxings onto him, without enough fun videos to balance that out. 😳

Thankfully, I took matters into my hands to make Atazaka fun again in Year 2025. 🥳 So yes, that was quite a bit about Atazaka, what about Guuzaka? 🤔 You can expect uploads from the Green Boy in November 2025. Worst case scenario December 2025. That might sound like hell-of-a-long-time, but I would prefer to keep estimates realistic. You should know me by know. And if you are new here, welcome, be a good viewer, and now you know. 😎 Now this leads to a serious question you must asking, "How long are you going to keep going with months before uploading?" In my entry last month, I went into vast detail about my 10-month productivity hiatus, and getting back onto my feet. The big gap uploading cycle I hope to be largely done away with before the end of Year 2025. 🌠

National Day For Truth And Reconciliation

Indigenous peoples, I send my virtual love to you for NDFTAR 2025. 🤗 In fact, I believe I have an outdoor video or 2 in the pipeline from the latter years of an Indigenous item detailing this. 😲

The Long Awaited Discussion

Finally, eh? 😅 Here we are at the most anticipated discussion for my brands in all of 2025. 😲 After that 10-month long cryptic absence from uploading onto my flagship brand, Guuzaka, or nearly 24 months in the case of Atazaka, you are all naturally wondering, "What in the vast universe happened to this guy?" Behold! Today is the day where I will tell you what I want you to know. Here are all the topics I will be discussing in this entry: 10 Months Later: The Follow-up, Channel Description Update, Outdoor Buildings Videos, Music Plans, Gaming Plans, Commentary Plans, Parasociality, Amazon Associates, AliExpress, and August Closing Thoughts. Yes, you are in for a long read. 📖 I hope your attention span is long. 😝 Then again, if you read the July 2025 entry, you totally saw this coming, and wanted it.

10 Months Later: The Follow-up

Oops, I did it again. 😖😳 3 times now. 😬 While I have had hiatuses several times in the 2010s, from what my memory can recall, they were maybe typically 3 months at worst. They were not very common either. Enter the 2020s and OUCH! 🤕 3 ultra long hiatuses: 1 in 2022, another in late 2023 into early 2024, and here we are again with another one from September 2024 to July 2025. 💀 Let us get straight to the matter: I caught the Ultra Low Productivity Virus, and man oh man did it go nuclear ballistic on me! ☣💥☢ To clarify, I am not using this as euphemism for COVID-19 or something. While there were certainly some physical things at play, COVID-19 was not confirmed to be 1 of them. 😌

After recovering from 3 heavy-duty takeovers of the Ultra Low Productivity Virus, lots of learning, reflecting, reevaluating, and more, I have taken ultra measures. Ultra measures to ensure that this does not happen again. The only time you will ever see such a lengthy hiatus is if something absolutely valid, like, God forbid, lengthy hospitalisation happens. 💀 At the time of this writing, the 3 Gravely hiatuses I took in the 2020s have now resulted in 42 months of content debt. 💀☠💀☠ The good news is that because my content does not utilise ultra fancy editing, I do not need 42 months to clear the backlog. That said, clearing the backlog will take serious time and Lord-level self-discipline if I wish to clear it as soon as feasibly possible. 😐

Channel Description Update

This was my old channel description from XXXX To July 31, 2025:

You are on Guuzaka. 😶 The 5 major pillars of this brand are the outdoors, mobile games, products, music, and talk videos. 🌳📱📦🎼💬 However, Guuzaka is by no means a mass appeal brand. It can be rather strange, different, complicated or controversial at times. 😲 I upload videos that I like. If you like, cool. If you do not like, you are strongly advised to move on without any drama or nonsense of the sort. Important! Even though some of the videos are rate "E" Guuzaka is NOT catered to children. 🚫👦🏾👧🏾 Comment Section Rules: 1. No hate speech. 2. No spam, bots, or advertising. 3. No personal attacks. 4. Stay on topic. 5. Do not post anyone’s personal information. 6. No swearing. 7. No trolling. 8. No lying. 9. Post in English. If a foreign comment can be easily and accurately translated in Google, I will leave it alone. 10. No unintelligible posts. Comments that fail to follow rules get removed, or blocked in more serious cases.

Why I even thought this was good in the first place is beyond me. 😳 I am glad some sense came to me this Year 2025 Summer to get rid of that! If I saw comment section rules on a channel's description I would think of 2 scenarios:

1. The Channel had a very turbulent comment section, thus the need to bring it to the forefront.

2. The Content Creator is excessively rules-obsessed, and therefore an unpleasant human-being to engage with.

So where does this fall for Guuzaka? 🤔 Neither. While I firmly believe in the importance of following fair, good, civil rules, I also believe that it is important not to be predatory over the enforcement of rules, unless it is genuinely called for under exceptional circumstances. Now for the updated description:

The Great Green Guuzaka. 🟢 The 5 major categories of my brand are the outdoors, mobile games, products, music, and talk videos. 🌳📱📦🎼💬 Friendly notice that Guuzaka is not for everybody. 😅 It can be rather strange, different, complicated or controversial at times. 😲 I upload videos that I like. If you like, cool. If you do not like, you are strongly advised to move on without any drama or nonsense of the sort. 😌

Ahhhh, is this not soooooo much better than the outgoing, congested old description? 😌 Just straight to the point. Lets you know what I make, while causal-friendly letting you know that my personality is a bit different from your Family Friendly, Mainstream content creators. Sounds like a win-win if you ask me. 😏

Outdoor Buildings Videos

Had it not been for such tight time constraints, I would have made a separate blog post the same day I made the grand decision. What decision? I will copy and paste Question #5 Urban Exploration Videos:

Question #5: Why did you delete the following playlists: Automobile Dealership Comedy, Religious Buildings, Religious High Schools, Secular High Schools, Religious Schools, and Secular JK-8ish Schools?

Answer: As of July 31, 2025, I formally announce to you that I will no longer be filming these kinds of videos. This is not a decision I took lightly, but thought about repeatedly many times. I made this decision on my own; not from force or anything, but because I feel it is ultimately the right thing to do. As my brands continue to grow with the many ambitious, exciting plans I have for them now and in the future, I have to be careful about the dangerous precedent it could set if I were to keep making those kind of videos with a significant following. I will not delete what I have already uploaded. I will upload whatever has already been filmed, but no new additions. There are some exceptions. 

Example 1: Abandoned places that are not high-risk. 

Example 2: Something absolutely interesting happened at ABC place, like an Unidentified Object Landing on top of it. 

Example 3: Certain Special Events.

Some of you are going to be saddened at first, but will understand that it is for the better of my brands and the community as a whole. On the contrary, some of you are going to be so happy to see that I finally stopped making these "Creepy" "Weird" videos, though I did also explain and dispel those notions to the people that thought that was the intent, when it never was. 😑 Fun fact: the naysayers were largely the reason why I even created the Frequently Asked Questions Page for my brands in the first place. 🙃

As explained in the Answer to Question #5, it was not the naysayers that made me stop; I chose to stop on my own terms to avoid the bigger dangers that could occur in the future. 😐 Furthermore, I really do not want to attract lots of people under 18 to my brands. 🔞 That might sound rather dry and mean, but I must be transparent about that. While my Rated E videos can be technically watched by everyone, Guuzaka Atazaka is made by an adult for adults. 👩🏾👨🏾 That is why you will notice more adult-oriented themes in the videos of the newer years. 👀 This does not mean necessarily mean a surge in sex, nudity, drugs, and similar, however. If you watch a variety of my videos entirely, you know exactly what I am getting at. Other outdoor videos will continue to be part of my brands for as long as my health permits. 🌞 

Music Videos

As much as I yearn to play my Tenor Recorder and Soprano Chalumeau again, I honestly do not know when I will get around to playing them. 😶 But I can tell you something I have noticed: Unboxing Aulos Tenor Recorders 211A-E consistently ends up in the top 10  on my Channel Analytics. 😲 What I find particularly strange is that the video is not even in my top 20 for view count. 🤨For a 4-year-old video to keep getting new views, it tells me some important things:

1. People love the sound of the tenor recorder, so long as you play at least moderately good.

2. The most shocking point of all time: people want to see more tenor recorder videos. 😱

So, why am I not playing and recording anymore? 🤔 Ongoing things that have not been resolved...... 😶 Hint: hands, arms, and other. 😶🪐👹 

"Hold on Guuzaka, since when did you get a chalumeau, and how come we have not seen it yet?!" You must be wondering. Well, just 1 of literally 100s of videos I still have not gotten around to uploading yet, and then I just had to exponentially exacerbate that by going on a 10-month long, giga stupid, unproductive content hiatus. 😳🤪😵🥴 

Gaming Plans

I do not have any gaming priorities at this time. There are certainly plans in the future, but nothing at the moment as of August 2025.

Commentary Plans

I think about commentary videos a fair bit. 🎙 However, due to the amount of time it takes to put together a script, edit the script, record the script, and then edit the video, you can easily see why commentary videos are so far and few between. 😶 This will change once the video backlog is dealt with.

Parasociality

I have been seeing this word so much on YouTube and Reddit, that the day has come where I take a professional look at what this word means. Before I quote the professional definition, here is what I thought it meant: Cringey social media people obsessing over another creator who will never want anything to do with them. 😂👏🏾🤣 And now for the professional definitions:

"A parasocial relationship is a one-sided relationship where a person extends time, energy, and emotion toward another person (often a celebrity or public figure) who doesn’t know them" --Everydayhealth

"Parasocial relationships go beyond simply following an influencer and engaging with their content. “It involves a level of commitment to a public figure where you even begin to view the celebrity as a friend or confidante,” --Jessica Leader

Right, so I was not entirely wrong then. 😆 However, after reading the full article on that website, it is clear that 99% of the time when people throw the term "Parasocial" around, they are typically using it the most negative context possible. Because according to the same website, these relationships do not always have to be negative, so long as the admirer is not making their idol feel uncomfortable, they are not stalking them, prioritising real relationships over parasocial relationships, isolationism, and et ceterea.

What do I think of parasociality personally? 🤔 100% Pointless. 😐 Why should I invest time, energy, and emotion into somebody who does not give a rat's backside about me? Do not get me wrong. Of course I have content creators that I follow on social media. However, I expect absolutely nothing from them in return, other than basic online politeness and the content I followed them for in the 1st place. 😌 Furthermore, a fair bit of people in celebrities and creators are actually rude in reality. 🖕🏾 Not everybody, but if you have ever seen those "Celebrities/Creators That Are Rude In Reality" threads, you realise how many people end up on those lists. 😳

There is no doubt that forming meaningful relationship with people can be very challenging for some, but parasociality is not the answer, folks. 😬 There are resources that can, and should be used for people struggling to form meaningful real-life relationships. Some might be free. Some might be cheap. Some might be subsidised by your country. You will never know, until you actually make an effort to try. 🌱🌞

Amazon Associates

I will keep this part ultra short: if you are from Canada, United States Of America, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, or Japan, consider purchasing from my Amazon locale affiliate links so I can officially get into the program for each locale. If users do not get 3 qualified sales within 180 days, Amazon discards the application. 💀 You then have to reapply for each locale that failed to meet 3 sales within 180 days. 😒 You can also find these links in my videos' descriptions.

AliExpress

There are a fair bit of videos I have in the pipeline, where I have purchased numerous quality products from AliExpress. 🛒 Yes, "Quality" and "AliExpress" can be said in the same sentence. 😆 You just have know who to buy from. Pay attention to things like whether or not the seller has a silver badge, golden badge, ratings, AND whether or not verified reviews, ideally with customers' item pictures are present. Even if the seller does not have a fancy medal, the reviews, ratings, and customer pictures will be your sword and shield. ⚔🛡 Even if something is faulty, and you have proof of it with picture or video in some cases, genuine sellers are usually pretty good at informing you to have AliExpress refund your money. 😌

So here are some real things that I have actually personally purchased: Infinity Nado 3, 2 In 1 Mechanical Keyboard Key Cap Pullers, 18650 Batteries, Samsung Galaxy S5 Home Buttons, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Home Buttons, and a Hangsong Universal Stylus to name some. I would imagine Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max cases and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra cases to also be very popular. 😏 When I curiously looked at the trending page, I see a highly variable list of things from BINBOND Luxury Men's Quartz Watches, 100% Cotton Men T-shirts, Women's & Men's Gym Bags, Women's Bikini Sets, Men's Denim Shoes, and literally 1000s more. 🤯 Those I have not purchased, so I cannot comment on their quality.

10 Months Later

Have you noticed something yesterday? 🤔 I uploaded. 🤯 For the 1st time since September 20, 2024. 😱 I know, crazy right? 😲 Naturally, I have A LOT I want to say, but because I spent a significant amount of time getting those videos uploaded and such, I will have to delay the long-awaited detailed blog post to next week. It has been ages since I have typed up a proper entry about things. However, I do not want to rush and push out a total slop job of a post. Not the way I work. Well then, engage with the videos that have been released and stay tuned for the Grand August Talks next week. 🌠

Junky June

What The Junk?

What junk? My effort towards getting videos out this month. Well, actually, I did finally break the upload dormancy last week over at Atazaka. 😱 Yes, because time was about to hit 2 years since I last uploaded over there. Therefore, earlier last week when I contemplated between whether or not I was going to upload content under the Red Boy or Green Boy, it was only fair that I showed a little love to the Red Boy. 🍓 So if uploaded to Atazaka last week, what could this possibly mean for Guuzaka in July? 🤔 If you guessed videos uploads, you are correct! 🥳 Yes, for real. Finally.

Last Days

What is pretty neat about May 31, 2025 is the fact that it is not only the last day of the month, but also falls on the last day of the week. 😀 Hence the subtitle "Last Days". Hopefully I did not imply that I was quitting content creation there. 😅 I mean if we briefly touch on the blue whale in the room here, the last time I uploaded a video batch was September 2024. 💀 It is now May 31, 2025. 💀

8 Months?! 

8 months and 11 days. ⚰ Within that time frame, I was hoping that certain nagging issues would have at least eased up, but the conditions did not. 💀 I know, I know, "I May See You In May" only not to end up seeing you. 😞 Thankfully, that is why I said "May" because it was certainly no guarantee. As we Journey into June, and yes, that is a very intentional pun on June's Journey, will you finally see something from me? 🤔 I hope so. 😶 And no, I have never played June's Journey before, but I have heard of that game. 🎮 Am I planning to make gameplay videos on her? 🤨 No. 😆

World Parrot Day 

Did you know that May 31 is apparently World Parrot Day? 🦜 I did not either. 😲 The only parrots I have ever personally owned are budgerigars. And man oh man are those little fudgers noisy! 🙉 No seriously, any parrot owner who has warned you about how loud parrots are is telling the gospel truth. 😐 Now obviously a budgerigar would make a drastically better pet than a Moluccan cockatoo or any large or medium parrot for that matter, but small or larger, they all LOVE to vocalise and make messes! 🤡 I love the physical beauty of parrots, but they certainly command that you do deep research and get advice from real owners. 😐

I May See You In May

Maybe May

Going to keep this one short and sweet. 🍰 I may see you in may. 👋🏾 Maybe.... On a random note, quite crazy how both Canada and Trinidad just had elections 2 days ago, and now Australia is due to have theirs in May. 😲 It is election season. Vote wisely, viewers. ❎ I have no idea what the political situation is like in Trinidad & Tobago. 🤔 From what a quick search as well as what the Canada advisory website is saying, looks like they really need to bring their crime rate down.... 😬 Again, I do not live there, and I rarely look at Trinidadian news, content and such, but let us just say that seems to be a general problem with a fair bit of the countries in tropical North America. *Cough* Jamaica, Mexico, El Salvador.... 😬

Wait, is Trinidad even truly North American? 🤔 It literally just barely sits across the waters of Venezuela, which is definitely South American. Sources say that despite that, it is apparently a North American country across the Northern South American waters... 😵 Yes, I am confused too.

Canada Carney

Will Mark Carney bring the cost of living down, drastically increase the number of general physicians and specialists, allow for actual competition among company industries, and a long list of other things? 🤨 Time will tell. ⏳ I am just soooooooooo glad Canada Trump did not win! 😂👏🏾😂 He bombed so badly that he even lost his riding. 😳 The New Democratic Party leader, Jagmeet Singh finally stepped down after a particularly humiliating defeat. 😳 But you know? At least he stepped down with humility. 😌 He should not have propped up the deeply unpopular Justin Trudeau for so long. 😶 Wait, let me correct myself: he should have never done that in the 1st place! 👎🏾 Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault resigned, too. 😲 Yes, this election was very tough on the Greens and New Democrats because a lot of voters were extremely determined to stop Pierre Polievre from winning. It is wild how before Donald Trump returned to the White House, that Pierre was set to win. Oh, how fast the tables turned all because of Dictator Trump. 🤯

Australia's Business

I do engage with Australian content sometimes. 😃 That said, I hardly know anything about their politics. I did read somewhere that they are apparently in a situation where they too, are trying to stop a far-right Conservative from coming into power. 😲 Again, I hardly know much about Australia's political situation, but thankfully, you know better not to come here for Australian politics. 😅 Ah, Australia! 🌏 Someday I would love to visit that gigantic isolated Island and see all those lovely birds and reptiles in-the-flesh. 🐍🐦Yes, I know that Australia is usually considered a continent, in before somebody comes to say, "Australia is a continent" 🤓

Not So Short

Alright, this post ended up taking a little longer turn than I intended, but who cares! 😋

No Marching

No Marching

"No Marching" or "I Did Not March"? 🤔 At first, I had no idea what I would call this month's entry. Then I quickly narrowed it down to 1 of those 2 titles and just went with "No Marching". If you read last month's entry "No Chocolate" then you will have an extremely good idea where we are going with this topic: no content activity on YouTube and Instagram. 😶 So this naturally leads to a burning question you might have: "How much longer will you possibly take to upload? One time you took 5 months, and now this year you are pushing 6 months on your main brand"

You are right. 😐 Man oh man does it feel very bad to be so inactive. 😫 So then why exactly have I been so inactive AGAIN, and will I keep on going on these months-long periods of inactivity? 🤨

Real Life 

As certain real life things iron-grippedly continue to not change, those things in turn also have an iron-gripping effect on content production. ☠ In an entry nearly 1 year ago from this entry, I was reviewing my strategy, video description templates, and so forth. That was part of the reason at the time. This time around, that is not the case. It is just plain life being too annoying to be true. Except that it is. 🤕 I want to upload, and have intentions to do so, particularly within April. 🌧 Will the April Showers bring forth the much needed goodness and stability? 🤔 No, but they will certainly make the outdoor plants and animals happy. 🌷🌼

No worries, every month is not going to turn into a "No _____" just in case anybody was possibly worried about that. 😅😆

No Chocolate This Month

No Chocolate?!

So last month, January 2025, I uploaded a short post celebrating 15 Years of the Guuzaka brand. 🎂 This also simultaneously marks 5 Years of Atazaka, since the 2 brands were created on the very same day. 🍓 Now to get straight to the meaning of this month's title: No Chocolate This Month. 🚫🍫 Just what could that possible mean?! Did I literally not get to eat any chocolate? True, I did not get hands -- mouth on any nice chocolate this month. That would be the super literal definition of this title, but what if I told you that there is another meaning to this? 😲 Yes, keep reading.

Hardly A Surprise

Chances are when you come to look at content from my brands, it is almost certainly YouTube. 👀 Maybe Instagram. My Blogger statistics tell me that there are some readers, albeit significantly less than in comparison to YouTube. So you will very will know that there has be no new content uploads for February 2025. 🥱 I know. How boring and depressing of me to not upload anything. 😴 Will this finally change for March 2025? Will I Spring forward for Spring and Spring out some interesting things? 🌼 Let me tell the truth: there is a 50% chance I will, a 50% chance I will not. 😐 I would say more, but for now, I will end this entry here and bring more information in March 2025.

Maybe I will taste some chocolate by then? 🤔 Even if it is not heart-shaped and full of toxic preservatives? 😝 Not that I eat those kind of chocolates to begin with, but I felt a random urge to poke fun at how loaded the ingredients are in a lot of sweets are on the shelf. So much so, that I came across an article sometime this month about the United Kingdom pulling a whole bunch of candies from the United States off the shelves because the contained various poisons. ☠ Wow. North America ought to get on board with the rest of the world and ban problematic ingredients. Maybe then people will stop complaining about how much worse North American food tastes in comparison to that of the old world continents. 😳

15 Years Of Guuzaka

15 Years Of Guuzaka

15 Years ago, this brand was born. 🌱 Back in those days, his name was ATA1201058. Later, GuuzakaTube. Dropped the "Tube" and become the present Guuzaka. 🟢😎 Brand Questions Question #4: What is the point of Atazaka's existence when you can just make the same type of videos under Guuzaka? For the curious that want a more detailed history of both Guuzaka and Atazaka, If you do not already know. 🤓 Since I brought up Atazaka, those of you familiar with him will know that he turns 5 today. 🍰🥳

Seeing this brand turn 15 makes me feel a little old, even though I am not quite "old" yet. 😅 The 1st thing I decided to do in acknowledgement of this day, was make a short Tweet on Bluesky about it. 🔵 Yes, I now have a Bluesky account. I deleted my Xitter accounts right at the beginning of December 01, 2024. 🗑 0 regrets. 😌 When Twitter become Xitter, and there were constant unpleasant changes being made to the platform, I knew it was time to stop. 🛑 Not sure why Mister Musk could not do better things with $44,000,000,000 United States Dollars, but that is a whole other subject on its own. If Xitter works for you, and you still enjoy it, hey, you do you. 😌 As long as you are not hurting yourself or anybody else, Xweet to your heart's content. 🖤

Other than making a few media post like this one, I do not have anything special planned for this, though I wish I did. 😓 At the time of this writing, I have 948 videos on YouTube, 166 blog posts on Blogger, and 1000s of photographs on Instagram. 🎨

If things go well and certain stubborn roadblocks clear, I would love to clear a significant backlog of unedited content. 🖥 I kid you not, I have 100s of videos, and 1000s of photographs I have yet to touch. 😲 In the meantime, enjoy the present content available till I get around to uploading more content on these platforms. If you took the time to come here, thank you for celebrating 15 Years of Guuzaka, and 5 years of Atazaka. 🟢🎂🍰🔴

Christmas 2024

Nothing Special To Say

I did not end up posting anything last month. Be it videos or weblog posts. 😶 I had intentions to do a write-up on a variety of things I noted somewhere on a notepad, but I cannot find that file? 🤨 Darn. If you did not do anything particularly special this holidays, then hey, welcome to the club. ✋🏾 Neither did I. 🎄 Channel uploads have been at a snail's pace this year. Will Year 2025 be better? I hope so. 🌟 

No Tricks No Treats

No Tricks

Because I could care less about Samhain, dressing up like a cartoon character, walking around in the dark to take candies from totally random people, then go dancing around the bonfire, clapping and chanting. 🤪🥴 And when that is all done, sitting among the graves enjoying some nice, warm mouse soup. 🐁🍲 Yum O' YUCK! 🤪 Therefore, no tricks from Guuzaka on this day. 👹🚫

No Treats

Because I did not get around to editing a single video for the entirety of October. 😳 I do not feel good about that at all. 😣 Therefore, no "Candy" from Guuzaka either. 🚫🍬 But hey, if you still came here to read this short entry, then I certainly do appreciate you engaging with this entry. 😀 I hope to get at least 1 batch of videos done before Year 2025 for both Guuzaka and Atazaka. 🟢🔴 Yes, I have not forgotten about our Red Boy. 🍓

Last Day Of The Month

At least 1 blog post per month, right? 😐 Well, I certainly have not done a good job with that thus far in Year 2024. To date, I have only done 4 blog posts: April, May, July, and now this one. 😳 I will need to do my best to try and make sure something is done not just for the remaining months of the year, but going forward in general. In my April blog post this year, I went into good detail about the importance of not having your identity and livelihood tied to 1 platform. In summary, if that platform just deletes your account, you are screwed. 💀

So yes, Autumn has come upon us 8 days ago in the northern hemisphere. 🍂 If you know me already, you will damn well know that I do not look forward to cooler weather, but alas! I live in Canada where 4 distinct seasons exist, although some parts of the country are technically only winter and cold spring weather-wise. 🥶 Northern Nunavut, particularly Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord come to mind. 🥶

Yes, I realise that today also happens to be National Day For Truth And Reconciliation. Not going to lie; I forgot what the main theme of that day is supposed to be about. 😳 I know that it has to do with some sort of Indigenous recognition, but upon refreshing my memory with a Google Search I learned that the day honours the children who died and Survivors of residential schools. 🥀 Heartbreaking indeed. 💔 And you know, or actually perhaps it is better not to even mention what I just saw first thing on Reddit a little earlier, but here we go: a deranged racist farmer mowed a little black 6-year-old boy down in front of his mother whilst she screamed in horror. 😬 I thought he died when I first read the headline, but I did not look to closely at what was said. That article turned me off so bad, that I just left the website shortly. But, upon talking about dead or abused children in residential schools, this topic reminded of that poor little boy. 😔

"Gosh darn it, Guuzaka! Why the hell did you have to mention that?! That is so revolting!" I know, I know. That is just plain awful! Why people continue to abuse children, or even people in general is beyond me. 🥀 Orange shirts are cool, but everyday is important for keeping the general peace and not abusing people, especially vulnerable people like children. 😐

My Latest Videos

10 days ago, I finally uploaded the latest batch of videos to my channel. Felt like forever, but at least I finally finished that batch. You may be wondering why all 18 of those videos are Beyblade Xtreme content, as opposed to February 2022's batch? 🤨 You see, I intended for those videos to come out a bit sooner, but due to a myriad of things I talked about in past entries, I was not able to edit and upload as fast as I would like to. 🐌 Beyblade Xtreme is the latest, hottest thing in the Battle Top world right now. 🔥 I have certainly noticed how quickly it has been growing other channels. I have even noticed how my views, visitors, and subscribers have steadily gone up. Nothing record-breaking by any means, but growth is growth. 🌱 This is why I did not want to leave that batch of videos till when I get around to uploading 2024 videos. 

Now, does this mean that I am going to forsake all my others videos and allocate all my resources and time to Beyblade Xtreme? 🤔 Certainly not! In fact, now that I have completed this batch of Beyblade videos that I have codenamed Beyblade Xtreme December 2023 To June 2024, I would like to begin editing the February 2022 batch realistically towards the end of next week. 

Year 2024 End Targets

500 or more subscribers on YouTube before Year 2024 ends?  As tempted as I am to say 1000, I am not too sure if that is too realistic. Possible? Yes. Likely? Not too likely. 100 or more views per Blogger upload? 😃 Not impossible, but perhaps not too likely? 🤨 I made the mistake last time of not posting some of previous entries to Instagram, and my other social networks, which could very well explain why they could not even get past 20 views at the time of this very writing. 💀 Even for a Nano-sized brand like mine, we can all agree that not even getting at least 50 is pretty damn bad. 😳 But you know? I am also very careful that when talking about views to remind viewers that big views overnight is not what I am aiming for. An audience that actually engages with the content is far more important to my brand's growth and stability. 👀

I may be able to upload 2 batches, but could I do 3 batches of videos before year end? 🤔 Considering that the February 2022 batch alone has 20 videos, getting even 2 might be a stretch. So, 99% certainly not 3. Do I have any particular goals for Instagram? Not really, to be super honest. Maybe spend just slightly more time on it, as so to not make my presence there seem too irrelevant. Oh yes, Patreon and Ko-fi! 💰🤗 I am surprised I have not mentioned either of those 2 in my entries this year. Or did? I cannot recall doing so, so I will talk about them a little now. If you do love my content, and want to show continual support, and are excited about what may become of Guuzaka Atazaka, consider becoming a patron on my Patreon. Not into subscriptions? That is totally understandable, hence where my Ko-fi comes into play. There, you can send one-time payments instead.

Overall, using the analogy of meat and potatoes, YouTube would be the meat, and Blogger the potatoes in terms of my focus and growth at this time. 🍗🥔

Infinity Nado

"Seriously, Guuzaka what are you onto?" Or "What is that?" you must have said in your mind or perhaps even out loud. Chances are, if you have been on the channel, looked around, and bonus points, even checked out the playlists, you see that things that spin like Beyblades, Infinity Nado, and fidget spinners have their own playlist. So naturally, Infinity Nado has been on my mind, but yet you still do not see them on my channel just yet. Why I so randomly mention them, is because I had intended to start filming at least 1 video with them per month in 2024. The result? I only did 2 videos all the way back in February. 🐌 And on top of it, I do not recall being too personally proud of those videos. 😳 

If I were to ever get my hands on Infinity Nado 6, that would be sweet! 🤩 Too bad they still have not released locally: online nor brick-and-mortar. And by online, I am talking like Amazon Canada or Walmart Canada. You can buy them straight from Alpha Group on AliExpress, however. I was under the impression that when Beyblade Xtreme launched last year, that they would have tried to rival them by shortly launching to North American stores, but nope! 😐 Looks like Alpha Group really does not want to bother with that for this generation. Who knows. They might just surprise us and launch locally in Year 2025. 😲

Autumn Marketing

This particular section is solely for me to do some shameless affiliate marketing about some on-going eBay sale events for my viewers in Canada, United States Of America, and Australia. Do not worry, I am not going to talk about things I have absolutely no interest in just for the sake of getting clicks and affiliate commissions upon your qualified purchases. 😌 Fellow Canadians, there is unfortunately not a whole lot going on, but Lenovo is offering eBay-certified refurbished products. I personally own a pair of Lenovo wireless mice in red and blue. 🔴🔵

Could care less about Lenovo? You might be more excited about Jordans. 🏀 I have yet to personally unbox Jordans, but I have done other shoe brands before.

Americans, there is TONS I could talk about, but I will stick with 3 things for you Eagles: cell phones under $250, eBay refurbished Apple computers, and fine jewelry. 💎 Admittedly, I selected fine jewelry just for fun and giggles, but who knows: maybe you were about to conveniently buy some! 😝

G'day, my Oceanian mates! 🦘 eBay is oddly having more sales events for you Australians than Canadians. Kind of odd given that eBay is North American company, but perhaps they get more revenue from you? 🤨 I personally do not know. Save up to $400* on a great Dyson range, Up to 45% off phones, and Fashion Aussie brands you love, will be what I will share with you this entry.

September Close-off

Nothing more I particularly have that I want to discuss further. I shall now tidy this entry, have it posted, then shared to my social media accounts. 🍂 Did any Indigenous people by any chance stumble across this post? 🤨 If you did, let me know, and tell me which tribe you are from if you do not mind. 😄

Canada Day 2024

I know on my community post I said that I was not going to do a blog post due to time constraints, but you know what? 🤔 I am going to do a post anyway! 😃 I just will not make it as long as I might have intended, nor too detailed. So! What did I do for Canada Day 2024? 🍁 Unfortunately, I was not able to go out to see the fireworks as usual. 😔 So instead, I figured I would finally upload the long-awaited batch of videos to make the day a bit more special and worth a while. 😃 The skies were largely clear, and plenty of sunshine in my area. 🌞 Canada Flags, and Red Maple Leaves -- the Canadian typicals. 🍁 

Fresh Deals On The Latest Kicks

Get fresh deals on the latest kicks! 😎 Perhaps a little random to throw this in here, but if you reasonably know me, then this should not be too surprising. 😌 Why? Because I have unboxed shoes on my channel many times over the years. So, it was only natural that I decided to share this offer with you. Grab soon, as this expires October 31, 2024. 🎃😱

How Long Till The Next Batch Of Videos?

Because this batch of videos just dropped today, I encourage you to thoroughly and genuinely engage with them. 😀 I still have not even uploaded the images of these videos to Instagram and other social media websites, so the next batch of videos probably will not drop till late July, early August. More likely the latter. Or probably sooner? 🤨 God knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh yes! I nearly forgot: If you have not done so already, I strongly encourage you to read It Has Been 5 Months And Counting. What Is Going On?. I know I have since uploaded, but still a very important piece to read for both serious and casual visitors of my Brands. 😐
