wow, so hello again. It's been quite some time. It's hard to believe that I've updated this blog at all this year. It looks like there was a breif moment in febuary where I was reminded of it's existence, then I drank too much in Austin and totally forgot about it!!
Ok, so updates. It's been a big year for me, actually. Lot's been going on. The main thing is that I made the move to Brooklyn and I got promoted at my job! The new setup has been working out logistically so far, but I'm still very much trying to build a life here. I'm kind of a loser right now, truth be told. Not much friends and nothing else going on besides work. Suffice to say, it was a vry chill halloween last night. My family's really cool, though, so I've been able to hang out with them a lot. I'm sure I'll get more into things over the next year. I spent a lot of this year entertaining a situationship that was probably doomed to go nowhere from the start. Since that whole thing's done with now, I should be able to focus on the good stuff.
I guess this project never really left it's infancy stage did it? I had wanted to try and revamp the whole look of it, but I'm still not really sure where I'd take it. I might try and scope around to find out. Really, the point of this is always going to be the text, so I might seriously fuck around with its presentation. I'm really eager to learn more about website design and cyber security. I'm also trying to make a whole other website on neocites to be like an actually personal website for my meatspace representitve. Business card shit, you know? The issue is that even a year later, I still don't have much of a portfolio to present :(
I've been keeping up with reading, although nowhere near the marathon pacing I was doing last year. I set my goodreads goal to 25 books this year and i still haven't met it. I was reading the name of the rose by umberto echo and that slowed me for a while. It was cool, but very much a slog. There's been a lot of random pulls this year, and my already absurd collection has grown bigger. I think i'm going to place a pause on book aquisition for the time being.
But yeah. Doing alrightish considering how fucking bleak everything is in the world. I'm still sitting on the sidelines for the most part, which might be the first thing to work on. I did get into contact with a mutal aid group in the area, so that's probably a good place to start.
I guess that's it for the time being. Even though I haven't been writing here, I've been doing a lot of writing. It's such an important outlet for me. I write on my labtop, on my phone, and a bunch of different journals at a time. So I feel like having a personal blog like this makes a lot of sense, especially as a place to start engaging with art, theory, music, etc. online and IRL. I don't really expect anyone to read it, but I feel like the fact that it is out there and public lends it a certain kind of meaning. It does sort of limit writing's comfortable privacy, which is a lot of what I love about it. I'm not sure how personal I'm willing to get on here, yet. Though I've also felt a pretty strong need create things that are more shareable. Like, maybe writing an honest-to-god personal essay instead of a diary entry like a pre-teen? Form a coherent thought, if it's not too much to ask?
Much love,
