Alright so maybe we won’t be getting a thirsty thursday in today, maybe at the weekend, although you know things can change pretty rapidly around here so by the time I’ve written this and posted it and you wake up, resources might have been acquired, who knows! (waiting on that bottle airdrop!)
But anyway, hi, hey, hello.
Good morning to you on the other side of this big pond we are physically disconnected by currently, certainly seemed a lot easier to navigate when all you had to do was turn up at an airport with a suitable ticket to travel and boom in half of a day you’ll back together again.
I’m sure and certain those days will be back again thou, no doubt about it, what with talks of vaccines and just the general will of the people to return back to some kind of level of normality (apathy and asleep?) those who can will and those that cannot will re-learn new skills.

Even thou the last few days have felt a little bit time traveller like I’m feeling quite refreshed this morning, realised that I’d gotta a lot of supplies this month for breakfast that relied heavily on milk and I think the addition of the hot chocolate pushed me over the top in supplies, ugh, rectifying that situation.
Weird that we have these big days like ‘Black Friday’ where they drop the prices to move the stock out of these warehouses for more to come over with the latest bling or things they think will improve our lives, filling up houses full of tat and stuff that we only use once and forever then banished to the darkest part of the back of the cupboard in the kitchen.
That being said I’d really love a brand new set of pans and bowls across the board, maybe some bamboo bowls or something that are easy to clean, I feel like I need to really look at all my “plastics” this weekend and see what else can be culled out — I’d love a good couple of pans.
Anywho!
Starting to enjoy using crypto again recently too, mainly because of playing around with uniswap, so much to learn there about “wrapping” tokens. Both projects that I’m focusing on, dtube and blurt are doing “wrapping” of tokens to be able to trade and use as ETH — funny how decentralised finance seems to be just dominating all these other crypto projects, just goes to show you can have great tech but someone can just come along and build an interesting tool and people adopt it.
Currently battling with energy transfer between different things I’m interested in, I’ve got graphics and animations buzzing around my mind, creating little videos here and there to demo the offering, researching, learning, reading — it’s a lot, I’m trying to switch frequencies many times a day at the moment, feeling like this time is super precious while in this second lockdown.
Still got like twenty something days left thou, gotta remember that.
It’s crazy right but there is this like overwhelming pressure to pack everything into a small period of time to reap the rewards for the following months before you have to do that all over again, kinda crazy but I get that life can be time sensitive like that. The problem for us most of the time is that we are all in or nothing kinda people and it can be exhausting to be chasing it down.
Never ever thankful enough for having the energy levels, focus on the good days, income streams and determination to swap things up and around to try something new, gives me good feels to know that all those months of work you put in and your finally seeing the results come off is incredible, props for sticking at it, I know you’ll be learning a lot from here out too.
I hope to get back to making you more banners today, I had switched it up yesterday but now I have that library of effects I can get a two for one out of that today, put it up as a gumroad product and also use it to make new banners with, I’m hoping that it speeds things up to make them a little bit more cookie cutter but still each unique hopefully.
Also today I want to get a video recorded about my thoughts on the new M1 apple chip, it’s been really interesting to watch the geeks and nerds get bent out of sorts about the lack of memory (can’t go higher than 16gb) and other stuff, also nobody is really talking about the things that come to mind when I consider that the go to machine for an ultra light portable machine, i’m hearing early reports that it’s on par with like certain higher end MacBook Pro 16” soooo, it’s a move! :)
Also the jump from laptop to mobile device for editing video has been a surprising (but welcome) one in terms of performance, the ability to use like an iPad Air to edit 4k video is not wasted on me, you can literally be on the move and edit video now without the lumbering about of a laptop — I’m totally here for that life.
Not sure if you can tell in this little diary entry but it’s all over the place, I’ve not had coffee yet because I’ve not had breakfast yet so yeah, head is processing everything at a million miles an hour and so I’m turning to my stoic book to find me some balance this morning and to give me a good order in which to end this post!
it’s not the thing, it’s what we make of it
“when you are distressed by an external thing, it’s not the thing itself that troubles you, but only your judgement of it. And you can wipe this out at a moment’s notice”
Ooofff, acceptance vs being passive about it, the judgements we carry with us eh, certainly always worth recalibrating those on the daily right, being thankful for all the many trinkets of opportunity that have opened up to us over the years and continue to do so.
Time to jump back in and crank out some more digital assets that we craft eh? :)
Welcome to THIRSTday :)
Hugs,
