It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Sickness

Does This Count As A Holiday Episode

Its before Wednesday!

Hello everybody, I’m happy to be early a day with the blog! This last week has been hectic and terrible and very questionable. I’ve been all over the board and still conflicted about things. Some big big decisions and also being sick for quite a while. Stomach flu for a day in bed, then two days later all over again to just feel miserable and lonely sitting in bed. So… now that I’ve mentioned too much personal information, look at this! It’s actually before Wednesday!

I wanted to take Christmas without much work, and I thought it’d be better to put it out a day early rather than a day later. So with that I’ll dive in.

But first, Star Wars

I have many thoughts and I don’t want want to spoil anything. I will say as a fan of Star Wars I liked most of it even though I had many negative thoughts about the production. It sounds contradictory and I’ll explain that part of it more later when more people have probably seen it. I think that they mixed in enough nostalgia to make returning fans happy, but also added enough new characters to keep new people entertained with popping up personalities. It was not overwhelming with that said. I also felt like the first 20 minutes were a little more painful and jumped around in my opinion. There were still many great parts I appreciated and the visual effects looked stunning for the most part. The tone towards the end wasn’t all uplifting and happy go lucky and actually had a little bit of a darker scene I thought was well placed. I think doing this might open up the opportunity for the franchise to open up the Knights of the Old Republic stories (My dream story-line to work on). I think these stories have a lot darker tone than the previously made. I think that this would be a fun project and that they could do a lot with these characters brand new and in a more mystic way as well.

This is the one generalization that might give something away (No Specifics though) so skip to the next section if you’re really trying to avoid it at all costs. My overly critical brain watched it and thought that someone wow a studio combined Game of Thrones and Dunkirk, but in Space.

Shows

Thanks for listening to me geek out.

I’d been watching a lot of shows while I was sick. Mainly re-runs because I didn’t want to fall asleep to anything I wanted to invest in. I found myself watching BoJack Horseman and Love, both “Netflix Originals.” These both seemed fitting to my mood while sick of being kind of down on life, as well as love. The nihilistic perspective humor in BoJack met the level of comedy I felt I needed and is just written so well. Love is just an interesting story of normal people with problems and gave me a lot of realistic expectation for myself. I sound like I was analyzing these very hard, but instead I was really just watching for pleasure and just now added some reasoning to why I think they were good comfort shows.

Projects

Well well well, hello New Year. I didn’t see you coming from a week away yet.

I am looking forward to all of my business projects in the future. Partly because I’m kind of done with my personal life, but mainly because there’s too much in this world to get done. I uploaded my first bit of stock footage. I am editing my short story and two short scripts today, and I am making the blueprint that will lead to my youtube channel. My starting goal will be two videos a month of schedules content for businesses and at least two more of just me being me.

Like this blog, I’m only doing the youtube channel to be liked and get as many people as possible to think I’m cool. I’m very superficial and want nothing but attention from my adoring fans.

Not. I’m very excited to work with small businesses and create portfolios for myself with new content and push myself into something new.

I also will be taking on product photography with a mini studio I’ve setup. I’ve gotta save up money for my film projects somehow. I think that staying in media is the most fun choice. The way this last month has gone though I am a little disheartened. I think I’ll need to get a part time job. Ahhhhh… I know all of you who have read more than one of these blogs have heard me say I don’t want to do this. I think It’s time I settle with that thought for a hot second. Thank you for all two of your concerns though.

Who’s Making Stuff?

I have such creative friends all over the world. I want to hear more of what you’re up to. I think that It’s great hearing more about what other people are doing because contrary to popular belief I don’t like rambling on a blog to myself that much. So email me or comment some ideas. I’d love to get more involved in other people’s projects and see what I can bring to you.

Thank you for all of your time and go enjoy Christmas and the holidays with your families. I appreciate each and everyone of the people who read this and support my vision. I’m really just happy to be here.
