The word change has always been an important part of my life, from when I first read the novel Parable of the Sower in high school and Octavia Butler’s words rung in my mind as though a bell were struck: “All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change. God is change.”
At age 18 I boarded the greyhound bus from smokey hellhole that was my life, born and raised, in Los Angeles and traveled to Northern California to attend community college. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, but I knew that i wanted to do it far from LA. From there I transferred to San Francisco State University, and from there to Graduate School at the University of Arizona, and from there to teach English as a professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China where lived, with some transience to Wuhan and Nanjing for a total of 2 years before I had a longing to return home.

For those asking about what it's like being a college professor, I did a video all about THAT some years back (while I still was one!) You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJS0ZX5_hNaBn8U

Omg. I thought this was you stepping away from your channel. I was honestly a bit worried. I listenes to this video as I did some Hw and I honestly didnt do shit for Hw. I am glad you found a new spot. Thanks gawd, you are not leaving us all with a shitty mana base. I appreciate you Professor.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

There are forces in our lives out of our control, but that does not mean you have no control. Even when it feels as though the wheel has completely been ripped from your hands, in ways both big and small, you can still work towards steering the direction of your life. Magic: The Gathering teaches us this. We cannot control what is in our opponent's hand, but we can both prepare for it through knowledge and anticipation. Maybe we can't stop our creatures from getting removed, or our spells countered, but as the game progresses we keep fighting and in the long run, and many games, when we look at the big picture, we see steady improvement. We get better. I moved because this job is what I want to do, and I won't let forces outside my control take it away from me. I have so much more I want to do, and I hope very much you enjoy some of the new content that i have planned for the future. To days to come.

Thank you, Professor. I found your words to be deeply moving, and exactly what I needed to hear today. Your channel has helped my brother and I come together and learn about Magic the Gathering. Your videos are always wonderfully researched and help me to understand strategies about the game, to play carefully, and enjoy myself more. I wasn't expecting an inspirational story, but as a small business owner who sometimes gets bogged down in my part time work, I welcome the push. I find it hard to get going sometimes, but it's messages like yours that remind me why I started in the first place: exploring unfamiliar territory, diving into the unknown, shedding the comforts of a sure thing, and learning all the while. You hit all the important points. I will continue to support your videos and your company. You do great work.

I always enjoy stories like these. Doesn't need to be a specific story really. Just memories of something. A story about something that had happened. They just kind of sit with you for a bit. Edit: Not in a malicious way of course. I mean in a more "You're not alone, keep on thinking." kind of way.

[@ericwaraujo]

I am very new to magic. Found your channel and love it. Immigrant, after 9 years of living in LA, with wife and son born and raised in LA, I'd like to consider myself a bit of an Angelino too. I have family in NorCal and in Portland. We recently moved out of LA mostly for the same reason: wouldn't have a great future in such an expensive city. Your channel is awesome! The dedication you all put into it comes across. Your integrity and intellectual honesty is an example not only to the Magic community but to all mankind. Be well brother, you and your crew are highly appreciated! Thank you all for sharing your live with all of us!

[@MTGUnpacked]

Wow, never realized you moved, or that the old office was at the location of your old LGS! Good luck with the new move, and I hope you and your family continue to thrive😁

[@studixon1635]

You are an inspiration, professor! Your efforts are very much appreciated.

[@Silvermankitty]

You are an amazing content creator, and your videos have always been amazing to watch! You have helped with more than just rules and deck building. And more than just unbiased product analysis. You teach us about embracing your love and passion for not just this game, but the community that it creates. Like many others this title had me very very worried, but you brought a very needed message. Just like you looking up at the sky, I am looking across the production floor at jobs I hate working on, in a place I know I stand no chance of advancing. While I dare not dream to have the amazing switch that you did, this was a much needed push to realizing that I need to grab my life and get moving to something better. Thank you from my whole heart.

Thank you, Prof, I’ve been watching your channel ever since I started playing magic and love you and your videos. I’ve been struggling with change and decisions lately and the advice and quotes you gave are exactly what I needed. I love that I can come to one of my favorite KZbin channels ever and find more than just magic, but videos that show the true person you are and help us live. This video just gave me the advice I needed to make my decisions I need to and I thank you for that.

So many like me needed to hear this, so i'm really happy someone as reputable as you is putting it out there in such a well thought out/put together manner. You rock Prof! \m/

[@BogWraith1]

You are one of the leaders of this great community of the game we all love. This is more then just about the game, but as you elegantly stated in this video, it's about every day life as well. We are indeed very fortunate to have you with us and I look forward to the new content you and your friends create over the coming years!

[@FutureBurntDirector7]

Such a fine example of fear of change, of the unknown, beaten. And I bet not once but many times both in the past and in the present. I don't personally know the professor but when I started playing magic a few years ago his channel was probably the first one I suscribbed to and is now the only one I really follow. It was not the dexterity of his words or the fashionable mane he sports but the fact that I saw true love and passion for the game and that it meant more than just collecting and battling what has pulled me here and made me stay. I feel there is more than meets the eye about you my esteemed professor but I thank you for putting yourself out there for us, for the players and thank you for giving to us what is best of you through your channel. God speed!

[@DaPreach90]

Eloquently put professor. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.

[@hitoriga15a2]

While the title gave me pause, this video has been one of the most inspirational videos I have had the pleasure of viewing. Watching these videos had always made me feel like I was back in college and stepping into my professors door for a chat during office hours. The only difference is the conversation is about a game I'm very passionate about. Through your works I have been able to share my passion with others and that is truly the definition of priceless. Thank you professor.

[@JpDubbed]

I love that you're recently sharing what goes into making your videos. It's a business. I think only those that don't make videos or have never seen "behind-the-scenes" videos of other KZbinrs assume that you just take home all of that Patreon money.

I seriously freaked out at the title and the somber opening, and thought you were stopping producing content entirely. I was shocked, as I was immediately saddened by the thought and I normally don't have that kind of reaction to things. I find most Magic content creators to be insufferable- Save you, and Loading Ready Run. You leaving KZbin would be like the end of an era, and I even got a friend of mine into Magic by watching one of your videos back in late 2013/2014 (some time around there) while at work. You're stable, level-headed, and I respect your reviews more than most anyone else's on the Internet when it comes to my favorite hobby. Keep up the good content, and don't scare me like this again lol.

It sounds crazy, have you considered with all your reviews on Magic cards and sets, you could design your own TCG? Or looking into learning how sleeves and deck boxes are made? And teaching us your knowledge on those things? How about writing a book on your experiences? A way to make money and learn deals on contracts? I'm talking about expanding your Media!

[@davidfitzsimmons2451]

A good reviewer does not make a good creator. Heck even the famous and arguably most well respected critics of all time, Ebert, was not known for his hand in films. In fact here are a few of his works, Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens and Up!, no not Up, Up! this film involves big boobed Nazis. No neither of those films are ironic deep thought provoking satire of porn, they are straight up B rated soft core porn flicks. Not to say he could come up with a good card game, just saying it is very dang unlikely.

[@JRCSalter]

Please, don't make excuses for where your Patreon money is going towards. Sure, it will go towards props, boxes, cards, sleeves, etc. But it will also go towards your own personal living expenses. Very few people complain that a meal at a restaurant costs four to five times what the individual ingredients do, because the people making and serving it need the money to eat, to pay for rent, to go to the cinema, to buy Magic cards, to LIVE. Creating content such as you do is no different. If you can make enough money, not just for the content itself, but for your rent, your meals, your family, and even a brand new car, then do it.

[@texastostada]

Professor, Thank you for this video... This came at a time where I find myself worried and scared to death of change. Back in June I got laid off from my full time job and have spend the time since honing my skills to learn and practice in a whole new career field. This change has terrified me, the job hunt has terrified me and the uncertainty of my future terrifies me. Though content like yours and Wedges and The Command Zone has kept my spirits high and helped keep me entertained during my free time (Which is quite a bit in between scouring job boards and online Coding classes.) Anyway I'm not trying to write an essay of the woes of my life... I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your content. It's inspired me over the past few years to make content of my own and that means a lot. I look forward to your many many years of content to come and can't wait to see and experience the changes of Tolarian Community College along the way. Thanks, Corey/Nerd Werks

So, is your work. Thanks for your wisdom, the only one, you only, can offer. I'm sure there are a lot of people, like me, that appreciate, and will keep to appreciate for years to come!

I found your channel a few years ago and enjoy most these videos. I ended up wanting to meet you because I appreciated how real you seemed to be and your seemed like good people. I've been friends with Emma for going on 10+ years, and when I found out that she was dedicating that much of her time into helping you out, it confirmed preconceived notions about you. You're good people, Prof. Keep doing what you're doing and we'll continue to be here.

I honestly don’t know how I got to this channel, I’m from Chile (South America) and had never seen something about magic before, I had started playing magic not so long ago and mostly just to help a friend jajaja. But since I got to this channel, I’ve loved it. Thanks for all your work profesor and thanks a lot for videos like this one, it’s great to see the other side of things. Hope you keep the great content! :D
