The Banned F Word & Shifting Through the Books

What the Summer of 2025 is looking like

Summer Update, CDL Life, and What’s Next

🎓 Summer Classes: Philosophy, Wellness &… Big Rigs?

So this summer has been busy.

I took two college classes—Philosophy and Health & Wellness—and also started going to a trade school to get my CDL truck driving license. I know… kind of a weird mix, right? But that’s life right now.

Philosophy was actually super interesting, and I’m on track to get a B. Honestly, I was aiming for an A, and I had the scores for it—but my attendance was marked as a D, which dropped my final grade. Yeah, grrr. I even talked to my professor about my absences early on, but it still counted against me. I thought about arguing it, but honestly, I’d rather spend that time talking with all of you instead of going back and forth over a grade.

Health & Wellness was a much easier ride. The entire class was online—each week I just had to turn in a worksheet, write a 150-word discussion post, and take a quiz. Simple stuff, usually about 6 hours a week max. I’m expecting an A in that class too, but the grades haven’t all been updated yet because the professor has to transfer scores manually from the online textbook platform to the school portal. It’s a little weird, but from what I understand, that’s how professors make money off the books they write. Maybe I should write one too 😂.

🏡 Family Stuff — Video in the Works

Now, some of you might still be wondering what’s going on with my family based on my last post. There’s a lot to unpack, and I think the best way to reflect on that is verbally and visually. So yes, there’s a video coming soon where I’ll open up about what’s been happening, how things have shifted, and where I am heading. Stay tuned for that.

🎙️ The Future of My Content

Let’s talk about what’s next.

Like I’ve said before, I want to keep diving deeper into podcasts, blogs, and vlogs. Minecraft is still my comfort zone and my go-to when all else fails—but I want to share more than that. I want to give you insight into my real-life journey, the things I’m learning, and how I see the world.

I’m working toward a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications, and if that’s taught me anything, it’s the power of storytelling. Whether it’s my story or someone else’s—stories matter. They move people. They connect people.

Even the Bible, one of the oldest story collections in history, teaches through narratives and parables. It gives us moral direction not always through rules, but through lived experiences. One verse that hits for me and my content is:

“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” – Proverbs 27:17 (KJV)

I believe that. I believe we are better when we support each other. And that’s why I want to keep creating for you.

💻 Blogs, Videos, Livestreams… We’ll See

I’m going to do my best to stay consistent with blog posts like this and work on videos that reflect them. I’m not 100% sure how livestreams will fit in just yet… and truthfully, I’m still figuring out how even the blogs and videos will work long-term.

But the one thing that I do know is I still have the desire to make content. The biggest challenge is time—there’s just never enough hours in the day. But your support keeps me pushing forward.

So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being here with me.

Much love,
Your favorite Minecraft Ninja,

TNC Cuban

🚛 CDL School: The F Word Is Banned

CDL training is basically done—I’ve finished all the classwork, and I’m scheduled to take my test this Thursday. Wish me luck! Although, to be fair, the instructors are super supportive and literally ban the “F word” in class—fail, not the other one. So they do everything they can to make sure we pass and its almost a guarantee.

After I get my license, I plan to add endorsements—especially for school buses. Why? Because it fits perfectly with my schedule. Picture this weekday schedule:

Wake up early
Pick up the school bus
Drive bus kids to school (Including mine if needed)
Drop off the bus
Head to college
Pick up the bus again
Drive the kids home
Do homework and content work in the evening

Honestly, that’s already kinda my life now—so this just means I’d be getting paid to do it. Win-win.
