Seeing Satan: Signs of a Breakthrough

I’ll admit it. I’ve been struggling lately. Being an entrepreneur, business owner, employer, and speaker is challenging. And that’s just my work life. Being an attentive and effective husband, father, friend, cat, dog, and bird servant is even more challenging. All while still not letting the dream of my next marathon die. Whew! In the past I had things pretty well in hand. I had the right…

I think what gets me about this is that he doesn't seem to get frustrated or angry or sad about being thrown back, and the music stays hopeful and optimistic. Like. It's not just normal for setbacks to be there, it's okay, it's maybe even good, it's nothing that needs punishing yourself over.

You know it took me 10 days to finish the TS demo (not counting the replay I have to do to compare the two demos). So I know playing the full game will take me like two months LMAO. 😭

But I need to understand

When I can power through

And when I need some help from you

When I should stand my ground

And when I need to just sit down

To the One Who Feels Stuck…

Sometimes, life doesn’t unravel the way we expect it to. There’s no big win, no defining moment of success — just a long stretch of days where everything feels… stuck. Like you’re walking through fog with no clear path ahead. Maybe you once had a plan — a dream you clung to, a direction you believed in. And maybe, like me, you followed it with everything you had… until it didn’t work out. Or…

You know what I know I'm usually pretty silent but I need you all to understand the horrible impact SpaceX and Starship has had on South Texas.

Yes, fuck those ugly ass cyber trucks but FUCK that Space Center.

Starship genuine danger to the people who live here. It's to the point many of the people here when they heard the explosion joked that it was probably another one of Elon's rockets.

This is a horrifying pattern we are becoming numb to, we hear about a planned test launch and brace ourselves for more debris.

Several of Musk's attempts at rockets, especially after the deregulation, have resulted in catastrophic explosions. Want the list? Here are a few!!

December 9th, 2020- Starship serial No. 8, or SN8. Exploded upon landing.

February 2, 2021- Starship SN9. Exploded upon landing.

March 3rd. 2021- Starship SN10. Landed in one piece. Fire at the skirt caused an explosion.

April 20, 2023- Starship. Exploded once more. Debris scattered in Port Isabell.

March 6, 2025- Flight 8. Spun out of control and exploded in a mass of fireballs. Planes had to be grounded due to the mass explosion and the debris are stills scattered in the ocean.

And now we have the most recent and the worse one yet.

June 18-19, 2025- Starship 36 during a GROUND test caused a mass explosion, the looming mushroom cloud causing locals in Cameron to believed they had been bombed.

The loser describes this it as a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" instead of what they are: fiery failures locals have to deal with as a result.

Pretty much everyone locally knows Elon Musk and his negative impact on our home, people who have had the unfortunate curse to have worked with him and the center call it Cultish, 8 members of his staff who spoke out against his behavior and sexual harassment were all fired.

Its a well known fact he hates the people here, and he goes out of his way to find employees who are not from this area and move them down here.

Musk has tried to encourage even more white people to come down to South Texas and live in his "Starship City". An attempt to gentrify and push out local citizens.

Rebekah Hinojosa, a local Activist with Another Gulf Is Possible, even had her home unlawfully entered by police after an alleged graffiti on a mural he commisioned (which didn't even obscure the mural).

This article is a good read on everything Musk has done to South Texas

I am TIRED of this going unnoticed and unheard of the People of The Valley. I need you to stop laughing and start taking this seriously.

If you want to read more on all the insane shit this man has done to South Texas here are a few more Articles I would Recommend
