I find it funny how it seems like everyone in the game is enjoying their life and having fun, even though they are going through an apocalyptic event and it’s happening right in front of them.They’re all like “shit, the castles floating, some guy from 10,000 years ago wants to kill us all, but dont you just love my new mushroom hat?Anyway, I gotta go hang up some signs within spitting distance to a literal portal to hell. ...

Why spend loads of time writing about things you hate when you can create one mega-post and just update it as you find new things you don’t like? So A List of Things I Don’t Like russia AI being in places where it doesn’t belong The gap between what I want to make and what I’m capable of making The fact that awesome “discovery” (Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, etc.) algorithms morphed into things that just show you more of the same thing, digging you deeper into whatever rut you’re in instead of showing you something new that might spark joy ...

I’m trying to figure out when’s the perfect time to share that you’re going through something. Is there a perfect time? I read a lot of blog posts/tweets/instagram posts. I watch even more YouTube videos. People are constantly going through shit (it do be like that sometimes).

Two more useless (to me) items sold and shipped!

Long day of selling off old junk. I feel exhausted, but on the plus side I gave a few possessions a new life in a new home instead of a slow decay in a landfill.

And then I see this video where Fran Meneses dedicates time to practicing how to draw (even though she’s a great illustrator already!) it really shocks me. I’m impatient, okay? I’ll cycle through hundreds of project ideas, start maybe 10 of them, and finish none of them. ...

After 10 years of thinking about it (overthinking, really) I’ve finally started making a video for YouTube. As all “first” videos go, this one is about how it’s the first video I’m making. I hate that. But as much as videos about making videos absolutely GRIND MY GEARS, I need to get this navel-gazing bullshit out of the way before I can get to some of the actual topics I want to make videos about. ...

VERY good book. Just finished it today. Arguably even better than The Martian. DEFINITELY better than Artemis. Couldn’t put it down. Sucks because i had a sleepless night, but does go to show how awesome and captivating the story is.
