Fucking sucks having to learn as much javascript/typescript as it feels like I have to learn! All because I want to just be able to make my way around Next.JS "Apps" and get to the point where I can easily climb up and down source code trees of this kind but alas I find myself struggling with successfully accomplishing some of the seemingly most basic tasks I can even think of for some gawd damn reason!

Like how there's this block of text at the top right corner of the homepage when you first surf to it's production link right after a successfully fresh deployment of this project.  So everything being as it is has worked as expected all the way to deployment unto http://www.gbleezy.com/ with great success and uncanny ease!   Everything being default as fuck, you go to http://www.gbleezy.com and the block of text mentioned earlier reads like this:

A statically generated blog sample using 

 and Vercel and GitHub. Keep coming back!

Ok great, so with that being the fist thing I see, my mind immediately decides that it should be the first, if not the easiest, thing to be 

 customized first! First of many customizations to come for this homepage....

But OMGWTFLOL why can't I figure out where that text is or what file it would come in by default?!?  I search all the files for the text and can't even match the string anywhere like that? Fuck this is some newbie shit gawd damnit era9pwgiujerhoga;sdjgva;odsiflkj!!!!

Why the fuck do they have it so this one page is potentially made up from a billion different files in the routing tree or whatever the fuck it's called??  Oh ya, this stupid fucking template uses /pages instead of /app even though /app has been stable for like a year now.  So I've not only proven to myself completely incapable of some simple edits, I've decided to go ahead and update the 'App Router' or modernize it.  At first I was going to just rename /pages to /app but decided instead that I would take advantage of colocation or soft migration feature of Next that allowed both routes to exist simultaneously simply with /app taking priority when collisions ensue and created an /app folder. 

And with the new /app folder I moved the index.tsk file found in the /intro-template folder, in to /app/ and renamed it pages.tsx.  And moved the /pages/index.tsk file to /app/ and renamed it to layout.tsk.

Now, with those changes having been made I went ahead and attempted to refresh the page being hosted on a local dev server at localhost:3000 with hopes that the 'hot reload' feature would be invoked and any changes to the source tree would immediately be reflected upon refreshing the page.  I tried a few times but to my unease the exact same page was reloaded and it appeared nothing had changed at all.

Now, if everything had gone correctly with my changes to the 'App Router' or directory structure then this is actually exactly what I was hoping would happen upon refreshing the site!  However, that seems too good to be true and I don't believe no errors were thrown and everything went as I had planned it would, I don't believe that for a second! That is why I decided to go ahead and write this ranting post on how fucking frustrated I am with fucking sucking at this stupid fucking shit so gawd damn bad it's fucking annoying as shit!!  So ya, I'm glad I was able to write so much bullshit and hopefully get some of these negative emotions out of my system because I was annoyed as fuck trying to do some simple ass shit with this fucking crap gawd damnit!! 

Anyways, I'm going to take a break now and go get some soda from the store, maybe some candy or chips? Walk around a little outside, maybe will help defrag my brainskull and help me make some more edits to the front page because I think that's a main goal at this point.  Got the minimum viable blog up on my domain address and want to perhaps figure out an /app/layout.tsx that has some acceptable colors on it or something? Maybe try to get a cool 404 page in play or look in to the loading.tsx capabilities ....or something when I get back -- Idk, one thing at a time I suppose....Going to roll a blunt I can smoke as I walk to the grocery store; should I so choose!

The Struggle is Fucking Real!!

I wonder what the Slug field I just generated is used for in this blog situation?  It was the only required field and the only one with a "Generate" button attached to it so I just used the button and the minimum requirements are suddenly fulfilled! That's great! Let's see if we can keep it up.  The next field after this one is labeled, "Excerpt".  If anything should be 'Generated' I feel like it should be that next one. Not sure what I'm supposed to supply to a textarea labeled in such a way; alas I can't just keep typing in this box and I must eventually move on forward towards it. So lets go do that right now...

Initial Pilot Post

Here we go again...Blog post number 2 for the records! Going down in history for this website, the second blog post shall remain short and orderly.  Overall that's the characteristics I envision for this platform when I think about it. Nothing special it shall be and a little bit of nothing sprinkled amongst bits of this or that shall suffice it to say my hopes to stay way less obfuscated than the structure and existence of this particular sentence but however at least I can say for sure that I'm now done at last! WhoooooO!
