    I absolutely blazed my way through the first three books of Brian Sanderson’s “Mistborn” series. These books are as good as all the fantasy dorks tell you it is. The first book is, essentially, “what if Ocean’s 11, but there’s people that use metals to get magic powers?” Like, that premise, in and of itself,…

    This is my first “free lifetime update” with FL Studio and it feels *great*. It’s not that I *need* all the new features (though the QOL improvements are welcome), but when a similarly “minor” upgrade came for Ableton I had to shell out, like, $150. So yeah. I’m really happy with my decision to switch…

    For the past couple of days my Morning Pages™️ have been about “performance” in one way or another. On Sunday I wrote about how I got so ingraned in the daily performance of “professional marketing person” that I’ve kinda forgotten what it’s like to be myself — a regular human being. On Monday I ended up writing…

    I find it funny how it seems like everyone in the game is enjoying their life and having fun, even though they are going through an apocalyptic event and it’s happening right in front of them.They’re all like “shit, the castles floating, some guy from 10,000 years ago wants to kill us all, but dont…

    Why spend loads of time writing about things you hate when you can create one mega-post and just update it as you find new things you don’t like? So A List of Things I Don’t Like To be continued…

    I’m trying to figure out when’s the perfect time to share that you’re going through something. Is there a perfect time? I read a lot of blog posts/tweets/instagram posts. I watch even more YouTube videos. People are constantly going through shit (it do be like that sometimes). And, like, I definitely know that “as shit…

    My brain is always running at 100km/h, so any time I see artists take their time to work on their art it’s this huge wake-up call about how making things actually takes time.

    After 10 years of thinking about it (overthinking, really) I’ve finally started making a video for YouTube. As all “first” videos go, this one is about how it’s the first video I’m making. I hate that. But as much as videos about making videos absolutely GRIND MY GEARS, I need to get this navel-gazing bullshit…

    VERY good book. Just finished it today. Arguably even better than The Martian. DEFINITELY better than Artemis. Couldn’t put it down. Sucks because i had a sleepless night, but does go to show how awesome and captivating the story is.
