Hello, hello, hello, and it's an unorthodox Nightly Pleasures podcast for that.

It's not erotic. There is no story. It's just the guy talking to you.

Hello, my name is Jack, and welcome to it. It is another episode.

It's the end of the year, and occasionally on the podcast, I do

decide to be very heartfelt and emotional because I've run out of stories to tell.

In all sincerity, I had some trouble getting questions last week. I answered some questions

again because of that.

Just with all the stuff that I've mentioned in previous weeks, it's been a year. And I realized while answering questions on the blog that I've, just because of all the mix-ups and how weird of a journey it's been, I haven't

really, really talked about where we are, just where we are with me, where I am with

everything.

And because the goalposts have moved on a couple of things, timelines have realigned.

It's a little bit confusing.

So I wanted to take this time right at the end of the year to just talk about what comes next, where we are, what's happening, and, well, to say thank you.

So, the first thing is that if you hear my voice like this, as opposed to like this, it's because when I'm like this, I'm looking at a gift that a fan sent me for Christmas.

It's a painting of my cat.

And it's a very beautiful painting.

I have a picture up on the blog where the two of them are in the same shot.

This is a wonderful likeness.

They have a fairly similar pose.

It's very, very nice.

And it's actually what inspired me to do this as opposed to just doing a bit of a bit of a bit of a masturbatory ramble.

So the short, the long and short of it is that this year was pretty miserable.
