This was my 2018. 365 days. 365 pieces of artwork. To say I feel amazing is an understatement.

Lowkey happy that Twitter is finally dying. This website used to be awesome but over the last few years, it’s really gone downhill. Thank you Elon for accelerating its demise✌️

I don’t know how I feel about the She-Hulk finale. It was not at all what I was expecting but it was definitely entertaining. A bit too short though.

Ever since I got my Steam Deck a few weeks ago, I’ve stocked up on so many big PC games I missed out on by not having a powerful PC to play them on. I just added God of War and Cyberpunk 2077 to the list of games to play. But first I’m trying out Elden Ring!

The fact today I got to see the D23 trailers for Quantumania, Loki S2, and The Marvels is still unbelievable to me. I love my job 😭
Idk what it is but lately I’ve been super inspired to get back into making music again. It’s a feeling that comes and goes every so often and I do my best to ignore it and stay the course with my design stuff but idk man. I may have to at least start practicing guitar more often.

Finally almost caught up with all my freelance work 😵 Just need final sign off on one project I finished up today and then making edits to another one tomorrow morning. Then I will dedicate all weekend to working on personal projects 👀

Life’s short. I should probably get back to working on my book/graphic novel idea 🤔

Well I did it. I finally reinstalled Twitter on my phone again. This time I’m using Tweetbot so I don’t have to deal with the anxiety-inducing mess of the Trending tab. Which is the reason why I uninstalled the app in the first place.
Looking forward to having all of next week off. Might actually go outside and go places instead of just sitting at home. Only 3 days left! 😵
Counting down the days to Friday LOL. I’m still in the “pinch me, I’m dreaming” phase but after the insane amount of paper-work I had to do today, this new journey is finally feeling more real.

Tomorrow I begin my last week of work. Then only a few weeks until I start my new journey. Excited and nervous. Still doesn’t feel real LOL

You can tell how soft a generation has become when you see people meme about serious stuff that older generations feared.
RIP to one of the best to ever do it. When I was a teenager, I watched Comedy Central every single day and had seen almost every standup special. Out of all of them, The Amazing Johnathan was easily among my top 5 favorites because of how he blended comedic scenarios with magic.

I just rewatched Captain America: Civil War again. I still remember how awesome it was watching it in a theater for the first time. So many hype moments.
Had a hankering for ice cream this evening. Went and bought some. Now I feel mega tired and sluggish. Mistakes have been made.

I forgot how tiring writing music can be. Getting tired playing guitar is one thing, but noodling around on a fretboard trying to come up with melodies and progressions that bridge sections together is a mental type of tired. I wanna push through but I may call it here for today.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results without making any meaningful change is the reason why it’s been hard for me to get back to the level of motivation and productivity I had pre-2020. Although now I am working hard to get back to that place ASAP.
