getting set up with this blog page. I'll probably just have every blog on one page because I dont feel like making a new page every time I wanna say somethin
I've been playing ENA dream BBQ for the last few days. It makes me wanna work on the beggy leggy more.. I should probably add the beggy leggy to the projects section of my homepage.
I decided to come up with a list of dif projects I wanna do, either soon or over the summer.
- continue adding stuff to this website, like a color code collection, more website links, blogging, etc
- learn how to set up a website on my older windows 10 machine, so I can have my own domain
- work on the garden outside
- turn the overgrown mess of bushes and garbage into a nice garden, refinishing the dirt, the edges, maybe building a whole new back fence for it
- grow tomatos and potatos, since theyre pretty easy
- learn portugese, to annoy my brazilian friends
I'm still sore from yesterdays yard work, so ima work on more technical projects, like this !
I love blogging cus I can just write about (almost) anything I like. ima yap about what ive been up2 recently!
I've decided it's time I get to watching stevens universe. When I was young, I saw moments of it, but since my family didnt pay for any TV service, I only got to watch educational (supposedly educational) kid shows. Stevens universe always seemed like a cool show to me, and finally getting to watch it feels so nice.
For a few days now, ive tried to stop drinkin coffee altogether, because I felt like my taste was just being dulled.. dont get me wrong, I think its hilarious how I can drink stuff thats been described as "smelling like cigarettes", but if a regular cup of coffee is tasting like a bitter/acidic cup, even if im fine with bitter/acidic.. so now, im going to try and dial in a nice cup of coffee, using the same beans, and the same drip coffee machine. so far, super fine grounds are alright, but ill grind coarser just to see how that affects flavor.
A day ago, I bought a pack of those card holders for binders. I know theyre usually for sports cards or pokemon, but I'm gonna use them to hold the jokers from my cards. obviously I aint using all the decks all the time, and ive never really needed a joker for any card game I play, so I suppose having all the jokers in a binder would be alright

ALSO while going thru my collection, I decided to open one of the squirrel packs I have. they got this neat lil seal and stamp on it, so I took care to remove them whole, and Ive tucked them in the sleeve of their corrisponding joker.
ALR ive gotten around to uploading some stuff to
my soundcloud. still wanna sing or rap eventually but I need to practice more.
I've recently been diving into music by em essex. Though, the music isn't totally what interests me. What im fascinated (a bit too much) by is the sheer number of albums, and how long they've been making music. I know comparing myself to others isnt good, but I can't help myself sometimes.
I consider myself 'good' at music, but when it comes down to it, I struggle to think of ideas. Sometimes I don't realize I'm not thinking of ideas until after I've put down chords, bass, etc. So I'm left with the same 4 chord progressions I always use. It doesn't sound good, it's not what I wanted but, what do I want?
"I want to make music". That's it, that's all of what's going through my mind when I open up my DAW (FL :3). this "I want to make music" thought is more about me craving the aesthetic of being creative, rather than being creative. Without an actual idea, I just want the feeling of working away at something cool. the feeling of wanting to seem creative can turn into envy.
I feel silly writing this out, but sometimes I get this feeling over fictional creatives. Truthfully, I know the only difference between me and an inspiration can be as little as 'I get to witness the not fun part of making music'.
But back on this idea of just opening the DAW with no idea other than "I want to make". Sometimes this can work its way into an actual idea, mostly it does not. I got to try making music more. I find myself using too much of my time on social media like youtube or discord, so I'll try my best to minimize that.
