Hobbies:

Game Shows (esp. Wheel of Fortune)

Video Games (esp. Sonic The Hedgehog)

True Stories (Truth really is stranger than fiction, which is why I find it compelling)

Cars (esp. early 1990s Dodge Viper RT-10 and Saturn Sky)

Airplanes (esp. Commercial Jetliners)

Ships (esp. Ocean Liners and Cruise Ships)

Classic Rock (esp. Boston and Bon Jovi, the latter who by the way is exactly 28 years older than I am)

Marital Status: Single (and I'm keeping it that way)

Love Life: Despite my marital status preference, my love life consists of Sonia, Amy, Cosmo, Zooey, Tikal, Jani-Ca, and the other heroines from the Sonic series as well as my Sonic OC gals (They all feel like family to me).

What I don't like: Racism, misogyny, misandry (seriously, there's WAY too much of that), or bias. I will not tolerate sayings or actions that state that there are such things as superior/better/weaker races or gender. They're not fair! Everyone's equal, plain and simple. Now if you feel like you're on the minority side (or have even been victimized) when it comes to stuff like this, I'll be more than happy to do what I can to help you out with that. Besides, I like sticking up for the underdog.

Current Residence: Southwest Side of Chicago (Go Blackhawks! Go White Sox!)

Favourite genre of music: 70s & 80s Rock

Operating System: Windows 7 and 10

MP3 player of choice: 64GB iPod Touch

Favourite cartoon characters: Ladies from most Sonic, Disney, and Warner Bros. series

How I feel about others: I feel like all else's lives matter more than mine, but that's one reason why I help them.

How I feel about Sonic: If others hate Sonic, fine, yeah, whatever the [BLEEP], but if they try to make me hate Sonic, .

Early-Mid November 2022 Updates

7 min read

Wow, I thought two and a half months before my previous update was quite a while. This is my first update journal in over seven months. There have not been a lot of things that happened since I submitted my last update journal way back on April 7th, but still a few things here and there. For one, back in June, I changed my DeviantArt username from germanname to germanname1990 to offer more consistency with my two other main social media accounts at YouTube and Instagram. I am still known as germanname elsewhere. And then you have that lousy heat wave. Oh my goodness! Good riddance to that hot mess! I was burning at work like crazy! I would read much to my dismay that it was not just Chicago but the ENTIRE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE! France was calling it the "heat apocalypse." As for the UK, for the first time ever, they had to issue a "take action" warning for extreme heat. As someone who easily gets sick from the heat, this was miserable enough for me to read about it as it was, but I had

Early April 2022 Updates

3 min read

VVhut?! Two and a half months since I submitted my last update?! Yeah. Even I'm a bit surprised. I guess it has to with the fact that I didn't want to jynx anything with my big mouth, but now with a load of hurdles that I successfully got past, I think I can now spill the beans. In my last update, I stated that I had a whole bunch of stuff to look forward to, namely The Price is Right Live, the Bon Jovi concert, and the Sonic 2 film. For those who don't follow me on Instagram, on March 5th (three days after my 32nd birthday), I went to Rosemont Theatre to see two shows of The Price is Right Live. Although I was not chosen to "Come on Down!", I still had a fabulous time. While waiting for the first show to start, I watched as some planes, including two Boeing 747's, the first belonging to the German Lufthansa and the second belonging to the Japanese Nippon Cargo Airlines (the second of which I caught on video), landed at O'Hare Airport, not far west of Rosemont. Back on Tuesday, I

Mid-Late January 2022 Updates

4 min read

Great start to the year, huh? There have been a lot of things that have been happening since the year started that have not gone in my favor. It's small stuff not worthy of talking about, but when there's a lot of them happening almost at once, they seem big, almost like an omen of worse to come. I kinda feel like I've gone back to early 2011, a time where absolutely nothing was going right for me at all. While things eleven years ago were much worse than the way things are now, I still can't help but feel a bit uncertain. Despite my uncertainty, I have quite a spring to look forward to, particularly March and April. Interestingly enough, my 32nd birthday, which is 3-2, happens to be Ash Wednesday. That same day will be the birthdays of two of my idols. Dr. Seuss, if he were still alive, would've been 118. As for my other idol, John Francis Bongiovi Junior, he will be 60. Three days later, March 5th, I will be heading up to Rosemont Theater (near Chicago's northwest side) to see The

Hello there, are you busy at the moment?

Edited Nov 17, 2022

I am with commissions (one slot is still open BTW), but what do you need?

Nov 17, 2022

Oh, well.. I wanted to ask about the commissions and see how that has been going. But since you said there was still one spot open, may I ask to take that spot and offer my suggestions for a point commission regarding wheel designs?

Nov 18, 2022

Oh, Wheel of Fortune commissions? Those are always open, and I only ask for points. You can send me a chat or a note regarding what you'd like.

Say, if you have time.. I have a curious question to ask you. Of all the years Wheel of Fortune has been on the air. Is there a particular era of Wheel of Fortune you enjoy the most?

Nov 10, 2022

Oh, without question, 1993, the year I got into the show, was my favorite year for the show. That's when I felt the show was at its finest. My own fanmade version of Wheel is inspired by elements from the first half of the nineties with a modern touch plus some elements introduced on the show since then such.
