Ultrasonic Faith

 It turns out that as soon as I give something more effort than the first spark of interest, things get complicated. I've been working on my second video for the better part of a week going on two.

I've written and recorded it 4 different times as of the current date and I still have more things that I want to work on. 

For one, despite the clear outlines of what I want to talk about, as soon as I hit record I immediately start generating more ideas and developments.

I'm never satisfied by what I've produced—which goes against everything I'm aiming for, by the way. 

The original goal is to make things first, correct things later.

Complete side note, I just learned how to write an emdash.. Apparently, while the numlobck is active, press the alt button with the numbers 0151 on the number pad.

Ok ok ok—back on topic. 

The problem I'm currently facing is that somehow I feel like I'm not addressing the topic properly. Which is very important to me, because the video is about me and my struggles!

I talked to my dad about the video and he clarified that we all do have monsters inside our heads. It's not exactly special; only a matter of working around my urges and worldly desires when I need to work around 'em.

So now I have to add this bit to my script and film it. And I already have a very clear idea of what video after it is going to be about.. God I can't wait to edit and make that video.

I keep moving. I keep grooving. I keep going. I keep improving.

Moving grooving moving going. IMPROVING.

Grace is a fun game.

Cheers :)

A love letter to small youtubers

Hi! There's been a lot of talk about algorithms lately and it coaxed me into asking the question. How did the first generation of youtubers feel when they started making Youtube videos? Back then, Youtube looked and felt completely different. If you asked me back then if I knew what Youtube was, I'd probably have said something along the lines of "PEANUT BUTTER BABY" It wasn't a successful business yet, but a platform for anyone to share whatever it is they desired. I'm not here to give a history lesson about the good old golden days though, if you're interested I think Nomad did a pretty nice job in this video. When I did come around eventually, some household names were already established. Matpat, Markiplier, DanTDM are a few examples that come to mind. There was a time when I came back from school to watch these guys on my TV screen. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. That is until it all changed. The first generation isn't around like they us...

Lost Verdania and Shellwood

 I think I have a slight obsession. I don't think I can label it anything but that. I just keep reopening the game, walking around the world I explored, looking for the little secrets I missed. I can't seem to find them, but I still enjoy exploring the little realm. Just a few minutes ago, I was sitting in front of the main menu screen. I just watched the animation play infinitely and seamlessly with the music. It's comforting. The main menu is designed to draw you in. And I find it comfy to just stay there and watch it over and over. The Hollow Knight effect strikes again.. Wonder how this one will last.. Will it last long enough for me to get back into practicing art? Who knows?  We're going back to Egypt tomorrow. My parents are worked up about it. It shatters their hearts every time we leave. I don't understand their pain. Mine is different than theirs. I feel like something is empty or missing when they're not around. But I think I'm naive and I take th...

Smiles are Cute

 There are two opposing forces that I imagine on the facial expression spectrum. On one side, there are smiles. On the other, there are frowns.  Yesterday, I went grocery shopping with my parents. I clumsily took a few steps back while walking, not aware of a shopping cart that was behind me. When it bumped me, I flinched and looked back to see who my bumper was. It was a small girl. The moment we made eye contact she drew the biggest smile ever. It was the brightest thing I had ever seen. Maybe I was already in a good mood and the smile just made form of my mood and gave it a definition. But I think it has more to do with how pretty her smile was. On the other side, one of the worst faces I remember seeing was a mirror selfie frown. Or was it a scowl? I don't know. The face had contorted in puzzling ways that were so ugly, I could throw up. It felt like someone was stabbing me with a gaze that was not even directed at me. The eyes were dead, tired and spiteful. I could feel p...
