Last Blog?

It’s the way it

is ya know

It’s been a minute. To any return readers, thank you I appreciate you having kept up with this. This may be the last post as I hope to put more effort in to bigger projects (which I’ll share when I get those started), but I’m finding this doesn’t get much attention and will only be used as an outlet for me in the future, which I may not post publicly.

Thanks for reading, I’ll share the big projects I’ve got coming out sometime soon, and enjoy my last public blog at least for the foreseeable future.

News

I’ll be gone for the month of June. I’m hiking from Lake Tahoe to Mammoth Lakes and will probably be out of service most of the time. If you need to get in contact still leave messages and when I come back into service I’ll respond to them ASAP.

I’m hiking with my good friends Ashley and Joey, and we do have a permit, and we are being safe about it all and taking extra precautions during this time. We have it all mapped out and people in this group have experience and knowledge on what is going on. I think a lot more people are resorting to going outdoors for entertainment and I love that. So since most things are still shut down that I want to be a part of, I’m going to go backpack for a month.

This is a creative/writing retreat, as well as bonding with some friends, and even just to read a book. Also I think everyone should have a trip like this in their lives. When else would I let myself be removed from the world for this long?

I do have major fomo, but I think this is very needed for me because big decisions weigh heavy when I stop moving and traveling around. So I share that just to let people know that maybe you need an escape for a little bit and hiking/ camping might be one of the healthiest things for you. No alternative motives, no goal besides just going out to be with yourself and getting an escape from your world.

So to everyone.. I will be gone from the beginning of June until just around my birthday at the very end of June.

Thank You For Doing That

To everyone who’s been showing me support and making orders or telling people about what I’m up to I really appreciate you. It’s great to hear that you’re still passing around my name when creative gigs come up. It does mean a lot.

With that said, I will be gone for a month and not able to take orders. I’ve been very fortunate to be in a great situation for quarantine. My family’s been generous and I’m lucky. I’m also lucky that you all are still seeing value in my art. I’ll be taking a quick break from completing orders, but at the end of June please feel free to drop some more ideas and orders.

What’s Been Good Lately

Everyone’s going through a lot during this time, but here’s some of the good that I’ve noticed in my life. My family and friends are healthy, the people I care about seem to be doing well, and I’m still able to create. I’ve been able to watch new shows while I wood burn and take more time to acknowledge shows I like. Hollywood, Avatar the Last Airbender, Bojack Horseman, Dave, and random indie movies have been getting me through.

I think something that’s kept me productive as well is lofi hip hop playlists on youtube to throw on and work to. If anyone needs chill music to work to I would highly recommend these playlists. I’m someone who can’t sit in quiet to do almost anything. My mind will go crazy thinking to itself if there’s not some kind of background music. Curse of an overactive mind, and these playlists help with that and keep things moving forward not idle. There’s also a ton with different speeds and tempos for whatever kinds of projects you’re working on or if you’re just chilling doing some yoga.

Bad

There’s a lot bad, everyone feels it I’m sure. You may be overthinking past relationships, past business decisions or big moves. It’s natural to think about them and want to change things or want to do something about it. I’m not going to say do it or don’t, but if you feel that way you’re not alone. Be aware that everyone’s struggling and there’s always people you can reach out to about this. Life right now is strange.

If you need to talk and you’re reading this feel free to reach out to me. Email me, direct message me, I hope I can help talk you through whatever’s going on.

Mood

Lately my mood’s felt like a shoulder shrug.

It is what it is, but things will still move on and everything’s full of ups and downs, so take In the good times like they’ll last only a second longer, and hold steady in the bad times knowing they’ll pass. When you’re in the middle just do what you can to make make it rise instead of fall.
