Playing Coffee Talk and loving it.
I’m making my own game and want this to be a big influence.

Just learned that a dear friend has died. He was one of the goats. Abrasively funny, kind but always honest, and gave the best advice. Even when I didn’t want it.
I will miss you.

I made a video talking about the accessibility (or rather the inaccessibility) of Twin Peaks in San Francisco.
Also cover the pink triangle a bit since it's Pride.
Happy Pride!

I'm making more videos to upload to YouTube.
Trying to make videos that focus on public transit walkability. In this video, I focus on my local farmers market and the Video Game Museum, or the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment.

I'm starting a travel YouTube channel. This is my first video where I try to visit the Dublin library (the one in California).

I’m often afraid that I’m giving up on the world. I’ve gone through burnout and a traumatic event all at once this past year.
But I’m also learning to stop beating myself up because I’m focused on my own needs first.
How can I help others if I’m in no shape to help at all?

I feel as though I have failed as a filmmaker. And I will not follow through with that hyper fixation anymore.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything else I’m following.
I’m working on my drawing skills while I work on my novels. And I can’t wait to share it all.

In full on recovery mode after filming all weekend.
Time to watch movies, read books, and journal all my feelings.

What's the point of phone numbers at this point?
Like, we have devices that work off of cellular towers. But do we actually require numbers anymore?
I have wanted to get away from my smart phone addictions for a good while now. And beyond Discord and a couple of other apps, my number is useless.

I shot and backed up 2TB of video yesterday and today. It’s a dance company that I’m videographer for. And I’ll shoot one more Terabyte tomorrow.

This weekend is going to be crazy but fun.
I’m filming the performances of a dance group. Today starts the tech checks. Tomorrow and Sunday will be the shows themselves.

I see more video essays and various writers pointing out how The Hero Myth (Joseph Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces) claims that every story needs to be set as a western story. That there can only one way to tell a good story. And anything else isn’t worthwhile. 1/3

I’m writing on Substack, and sharing my photos and drawings on Tumblr. All while working on my novel.
I feel like other platforms such as here and Mastodon could be used for niche things like the ones listed above. We’ll see how that evolves…

I write a bit about being tired of the MCU and want to focus more on writing.
This may feel like a half thought out article to some, but it’s meant to be the start of a conversation. Let’s talk!

With all the negative things going on, I want to add some positive things.
Specifically, I want to add my film photography. I’m already sharing on Tumblr and Instagram, which is the easiest way to share. And I’m trying to showcase them on my site.
Please keep an eye out. I’ll start sharing soon.

2024 is gone and done, and so begins 2025.
This year I have very few in terms of goals and expectations. Mostly just want to get out of survival mode so I can get back to books (reading and writing) and game design.
I do have a job interview tomorrow, so wish me luck!
