I make things for the internet and call myself an Artist. I read a lot of books (if you get me started, I will not shut up about Finnegans Wake). I play some of them video games, I'm a gamer who has fun with walking simulators and finds combat boring. (he)
had a nice romantic date, took my girlfriend out for a fancy meal. and I got a good selfie out of it!

I'd may as well post this one too, as it's arguably of a unit with the other one.
I did draw myself too. posed for an artsy photograph and then drew me as I saw.
this is my avatar on youtube.

seeing my girlfriend today. we had our one-year anniversary recently so this will be a nice day.
just need to tear myself away from the computer (from social media and from coldplay) and start getting ready.

attached is my drawing of my girlfriend. did it earlier this year. still learning to draw.

i at least have slightly more energy to care about things today than yesterday and that's maybe a good sign at least

well, last couple days had some ups and downs!
the good news is, I'm all caught up with coldplay. Moon Music, completely against my expectation, is one of the best albums they've done.
the bad news is, I exist on the earth and read the news.
coldplay is hard-pressed to keep me buoyant against that.
November 8, 2024 at 12:59 AM
today seems as good a day as any to revitalize my old coldplay obsession. maybe even grow to love the newer super-happy stuff.

and then, if you're looking for something a little proggier, here's "Chaos and Tone." this one's still a demo so there are a couple changes here and there towards the end it could still go through, but.
I am very happy with it.

more art for my story. sketch by rappu, like 10 years ago, recently digitized and colored by me.
November 1, 2024 at 9:29 PM
aaaand okay I feel like I've done a lot of plugging.
I love talking about my stuff. love it. but I am conscious of the fact that no one asked. ^^;;
the point is that's where I've been. what I've been up to.
hello again bluesky.
I hope I can figure this place out.
November 1, 2024 at 7:28 AM
and, then, as for the youtube thing.
well it's mainly been Let's Plays.
the best one has been Silent Hill 2. I played the remake recently. adored it.
and you can find that.. here!

what else to share.
I guess I can show off the song.
here's the art by RealaChao, a mockup for the front and back of a fictional CD case. this fits the music, as it's ultimately computer music, fundamentally midi at heart, but playing the role of a fictional rock band. it's a whole project.

I'm still waiting to get to the part of the story where *this* beautiful thing becomes relevant, though. this was a sketch by old friend Rappu at least 10 years ago, and last year I was able to digitize it and turn it into this thing.
November 1, 2024 at 7:19 AM
another bit of art for my story. this one's all RealaChao.
the stuff I inspire others to make is.. honestly one of the best things... it motivates me, it excites me, it makes me feel like I did something good.
November 1, 2024 at 7:17 AM
art that corresponds with the 130,000 words I wrote this year. all those words were just act 2 of a big internet story. this art is by my friend RealaChao, though for once this was very much a collaboration between us.

that link will take you to the story.
November 1, 2024 at 7:14 AM
raaagh. hello. I'm still alive.
I have still been creating. actually created a lot of things this year. I wrote over 130,000 words in two months, I did a lot of web work, I wrote and released a 20-minute prog rock song, and I've made like 20 new youtube videos.
and! I got a girlfriend.
November 1, 2024 at 6:58 AM
y'know what. twitter really did a number on my brain. I'd post things there and shout into the void. I suspected my reach was throttled, did not help my socially-starved brain.
I was not prepared for people to actually, like, Read My Words and reply to me.
this place is. nice.
November 5, 2023 at 6:17 PM
so uh. I recently got the Yume Nikki soundtrack on vinyl, off of fangamer dot com. I'm proud to put it with my Genesis, and my King Crimson, and my ELP, and my.. all the rest of it.
listening to this on vinyl is like being in a David Lynch movie.

(opening post, PART 8:)
there we go. eight is a good number.
if you follow me, I will... uh... probably give the occasional thoughtful (that is, baffling) post. I probably have a lot more value than that, am probably selling myself short.
look man, I haven't prepared a fancy introduction.
hello bsky

and, uh. yeah. I'll try to learn the Ways of bsky. like threads. but I only use threads for specific moods. my opening post needed to be separate posts. for artistic reasons.
I have trollish tendencies, but I promise I will not intrude. I have learned to troll only trolls.

(opening post, PART 6:)
I have a Website on which I present a.. good portion of, though not all, of my creations. that Website can be found at djay32.neocities.org .
I am also learning guitar, and building a video game, and writing a novel, all on-and-off. I know by now I can't force any of it.

on. I am not afraid to look ridiculous. my favorite video games are Sonic 06, The Witness, and Half-Life. Metroid Other M is also dear to my heart. my favorutie music album is Metallica's Lulu. Autechre's NTS Sessions are breathtaking too. and Genesis's Lamb.
I like to live.

anyway. so. I'm DJay. Jordan. I've been on the internet since I was a little kid, and I'm nearing 30 now. I have lived primarily in isolation, with little episodes in between of Socialization and Productivity. I worked for a media company. I worked retail. now back in isolati

I am being snarky anyway. I know it's done on purpose. I greatly disagree with the logic behind it, and the aesthetics behind it, and the fundamental decision-making behind it, and the morals of it. but I know it's done by clever web-designers.
character limits. pah!
