First of all, let me start by saying Happy New Years, everyone! May your 2019 be your best year yet! 

And for those of you who do read this, feel free to drop a comment below about how your year is going so far! I haven't been here for a while y'all know, so it would be nice to hear from all of you, and possibly even start a conversation with you all! :D

Now, for the big news: I'm leaving Wattpad. I just feel it's for the best, guys. Bye!

..... is what I would've said if I was a C H U M P! Ha! Gotcha!

I'm just kidding y'all, I ain't leaving! Told ya I wouldn't be for a long time! But, I am leaving PAW Patrol. 

BUT, HOLD WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE ABOUT TO THROW AT ME, WHETHER THAT BE YOUR SHOES, YOUR FOOD, YOUR FISTS, OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU HAD IN MIND!

Just let me explain! Please!

Now, what I mean is that, yes, I am leaving PAW Patrol, but I mean I'm done with it, at least for now (though I may start again in the summer). They say all good things must come to an end, right? Well, this is one of those things. I HAVE decided on that much that it is best if I do take this course of action. 

Why?

Well, writing, like all hobbies should be, used to be something that I sat down and did for fun, but as the months progressed last year, I just found that, or at least writing about PAW Patrol. harder and harder to do. I mean, y'all, I'm a 15-year-old sophomore now, who's also in Advanced English this year, so I had no time to even watch the show! I haven't done so since July!

Now, I'm sure some of you are thinking, "Ugh, this biiiiii- I mean, uh... JERK... can't even finish a freaking story before he runs his a** off? And then he wants me to support him on his new musical journey?! Man, as if! 🙄

Well now, not to worry! Just ease your thoughts, man! I will (try to the very best of my abilities) to finish my stories! I came here hating cliffhangers, and to this day, I still do. So I'll be darned if I stopped doing PAW Patrol with a whole "works" list full of 'em! So that's one less thing you all have to worry about, I promise you that much! But, do realize that, like I just said, I don't have as much of a passion for writing as I used to have when I first started this book. And I don't like making promises, for the fear of breaking them, hence why I said 'try to the very best of my abilities.'

"But CUMULOCRIS, what about your other stories? Will you finish them? And WHEN will you update your PAW Patrol stories? You've been saying you will for the longest now!"

Ah, why, yes I have! You're very observant!

But, again, not to worry! I'm gonna start back on my normal updating schedule, which is every weekend (usually on Saturdays at 7 PM CT,  but sometimes on Sunday at that same time), including this weekend, and that happens every weekend (except on holiday weekends), and shall continue until I finish all that I started. I may even start a sequel, if y'all like one of my works enough! And yes, I am still an EDM producer, who's getting better every day, and yes, I am totally getting closer to getting signed to my favorite (Canadian) EDM Label, Monstercat! You've most likely even heard of some of their artists if you play Rocket League, as they release "Rocket League x Monstercat" compilations pretty often now! They're currently on the fourth album, and the current opening Rocket League song is even "Badlands" by Rogue!

By the way, you all can totally check me out on "soundcloud.com/cumulocris!" (without the exclamation point, of course! :)

So yeah, now that's all my big news! 

Though, just so you all know, I was considering making a separate Wattpad account (as I will publish links elsewhere online for my other two non-PAW Patrol related works), for reasons that I think y'all would find rather obvious, but after a lot of thinking, I've decided to stay with this one. I'm not abandoning you all like that. I'm proud of my works I've made so far, and of all the people and friends I've touched. 

And on that note, I also just want to even thank everyone who has greeted me back with such warmth and kindness, including, but not limited to, my besties ThatHuskyStorm, CCKILLER00, SamuelWong1, MrAMERICAPlayz, skye4everyandever, Blaz3r-1221, Blue_ice_neko, Ford-The-Shepard, and SammyblueLynx, and with my super besties Wolfy426, icandream05, and IamTheNightWalker! Thank you all (especially you three girls) so much!

And even if the PAW Patrol chapter of my life is over, that just means it's time to flip the page, and continue on through the book, to the next chapter, with the book being Wattpad, and the chapter's being my phases I go through while on Wattpad! 'Cause sometimes in life, you just gotta know when it's time to flip the page. 

Oh, and since I believe it was requested, here were some of my top 2018 most-listened-to songs, (with plays from my computer and phone combined, and I'm talking about from my phone's default music player, since I don't really use Spotify that much, mostly because I just got it a few months ago) since some of you were interested:

1. Melatonin by soupandreas, now with over 1,000 plays (though technically I've had this song since 2017. And, this song, along with Lyra, Imperfect Views, & Sprite, have gotten me through many rough moments of last year, from the death of my rescue puppy from a heart attack while I was at school, to having to make her a special, custom-made tombstone, to having to bury her next to our deceased, 3-year-old outdoor/indoor cat Leo in a special spot in my garden, to the loss of my longtime friend and ex-girlfriend, Hannah, who left Wattpad this summer, to my minor through moderate depression, which still remains with me to this day, though it's only usually bad when I think of the things like those that I have listed above that have really hurt me last year, and left their mark on me for sure. And yes, all three of these songs are really awesome 'bangers' too, but they're also associated with memories I find really hard to think about without crying, so please, to any trolls that may be lurking, just please, f*** off)!

2. Crab Rave by Noisestorm, with over 700 plays (yes, I knew of it the day it came out on April 1st, cause I'm just a huge Monstercat & Noisestorm fan like that, before it became a meme! Also, this guy won an $800,000 dollar grant from the company that made the software he used, for one of the most creative uses of their 3D Animation software, Unreal Engine 4, in all of 2018! And he made the music! Like, props off to him!)

3. Lyra by MYRNE, with over 600 plays!

https://youtu.be/uw8VQokwBsI

4. Imperfect Views by Rogue, with over 600 plays!

https://youtu.be/5hd53EIKRXI

5. Critical Hit by Noisestorm, with over 500 plays! (I associate this song with my ex after Hannah, Marianna, as I listened to it somewhat before her, but started listening to it a lot when I was with her. Also, I found her making out with some other guy after 3 months into the relationship, but whatever, I'm totally not crying about it. This a really good song anyway, it's her that's the evil thing here. She won't talk to me anymore, though I've long since forgiven her. And I don't even hold grudges (though the pain of course still remains, from my two breakups in the past year, including her). I guess she's too busy having fun with him somewhere. :)

6. Sprite by soupandreas, with over 400 plays! (PS: This song I associate with Hannah more so, as at first I thought of it as a sad song, and just so happened to get it when I had "broke up" with her the first time. Though, that association has now long passed luckily, and I see it as an awesome, fun, weird track! Enjoy!)

https://youtu.be/PfrH6eFHt8Y

7. We Are One By Flite, with over 400 plays! This song has also been with me since 2017, like Sprite and Melatonin, but unlike most of them here, this one just has an awesome, pop-like vibe, that I feel anyone can dig. Ya dig? :D

https://youtu.be/y1GxPWwfbMA

8. Mad For You, with 300 plays! (Ok, so this one is just spectacular! Not to say that the others aren't! But, it sure would've gotten way more plays had it come out earlier! This actually helped me think of one of my girl besties here on Wattpad, who, in fact, is mentioned in the list above. She totally makes me feel this way, even now, despite the fact that she's been there for me since the beginning, for years now, and yes, she's even one of the things (among many others that had been eating away at me for so long) that motivated to come back to Wattpad, as I started thinking of her more and more. I'm not saying which one (just yet), as I'm not so sure that I even want to risk the awesome friendship we have now, but this song perfectly describes how she makes me feel.)

Lyrics:

Intro:
Ooh, ooh

Pre-Chorus:
I felt like running through the pouring rain
I felt like letting go of my mind
I felt it coming with no ground to brace
I think I just might be (just might be, just might be)

Chorus:
Mad for you
Drowning by the fact I don't need a reason to
Be mad for you
I'm losing my head going mad for you

Drop:
(Mad, mad)
(Mad, mad)
(Mad, mad)
(Mad, mad)
I'm losing my head going mad for you
(Mad, mad)

Bridge:
Ooh, ooh
I'm mad for you
For you
For you, for you, for you

I think I'm going crazy

And a little confound
'Cause I'm helpless
I can't wait to be drowned by your love, baby

You're a stranger, give me an unbound storm
Ooh, ooh
Just a little damage, but if you die, I don't wanna be here

Pre-Chorus:
I felt like running through the pouring rain
I felt like letting go of my mind
I felt it coming with no ground to brace
I think I just might be (just might be, just might be)

Chorus:
Mad for you
Driven by the fact I don't need a reason to
Be mad for you
I'm losing my head going mad for you

Drop:
(Mad, mad)
(Mad, mad)
(Mad, mad)
(Mad, mad)
Now I'm mad for you  

But yeah, that's the end of the list! Feel free to go give all these artists a listen, they are all very talented individuals, who are also on my favorite label, Monstercat! (PPS: The label split into two sides, one being a chill, more pop-like side for those type of songs, and one being a more hardcore, dubstep-like side, for those type of songs, in case you're wondering about the color scheme with songs like "Crab Rave" and "Mad For You," but you can look more into that for yourself, or I can explain if you ask. Also, hit up my Q & A book with some love, I'm still open for questioning!) :D

And, Until Next Time ~ Chris B.
