Many get to spend the holidays with loved ones. But this goes out to the rest of us.
This wasn't easy to make because this hits hard for me, but feeling hopelessly alone is 10 times harder.
If this helps even ONE person, then it'll be worth whatever dignity I shed making it.

This time 2 years ago, I started working on my first Soccer Zombie video. (It sucked)
As we approach a time of reflection, I'm looking back at my 2025 journey.
Copa90. 4 US corners. Non-League. #AllForCITY anguish. #FCTulsa triumph. And the other videos that defined me.
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

I think I bought this at a #STLBlues equipment sale years back and just discovered it in my closet with the tag hanging off.
Might be time to give this one a shift, eh?

(Did I stutter?)
FC Haka is being relegated to Finland's 2nd tier and most supporters there are taking in stride.
But one young supporter had a fiery response.

It's time to say goodbye to not just my 2025 journey, but also goodbye to a few facets of my channel.
It's time to embrace the things that bring me joy as not just as a content creator, but as a person.
This is not the end. This is time to focus.
