Hey you, boy over here, checking it from the undersea fibre lines, past the big whales and schools of dolphins chasing boats. How ya doing, I’m doing pretty great as it goes. While I’m getting in these early nights to restore the body and mind it does mean that I’m seeing the start of the day quicker and those dark mornings. I think I’m finally adapting to them.
Two days on the run now where I’ve managed to actually get out of bed, mainly because the place is so warm at the moment, enjoying the comfort of the heat, knocking me out, think I found a “shape” in the bed that I fit in that means I can kinda restore myself a bit. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m wiped every week but it’s progressive kinda wipe ya know?
Already cascading through this week, I’m thankful for these front loaded weeks, means the end of the weeks come through nicely, I guess we should be gearing up to celebrate a new month in five days time, make sure you’ve got some drinks in for the 2nd (monday) and we can work out what we are gonna watch and I’ll wormhole you. Lulz.

Gonna jump straight into what I was doing yesterday, making up some animated backer elements, they are super useful for me and I’m sure other people would get a lot of value out of them for the backgrounds of webcams and such like, once I’ve got it finished I’m certainly going to package it up and put on gumroad, all the assets are free to download and open source so I’m covered there.
Really enjoyed your post today, especially the part about not tracking the days or the months, I think van life is gonna be very much like that, I think you’ll have to have more times to check in on the van itself, like more tests, tyre checks, fuel, water, all of that stuff because basically it’s a moving home on wheels but I think the rest of the time it’s gonna be ok to let days blur because you’ll be chasing the light and the heat instead.
I predict many a fire pit, many solar lights hanging and lots of day time charging and two hour sprints before packing it all in, doing lunch, grabbing drinks and planning what the next meal prep day looks like, to start with I doubt we would save much as we would have to get adjusted to the new new of the day to day but I’m sure over time with a relatively strict schedule, shooting/editing and writing we’d easily get into a groove.
I miss video blogging a lot, I don’t really miss the camera side of it, not bothered too much about the gear, more interested in the application of it, the storytelling of it, I’ve got a ton of stories I’d love to get down on video and out there for sure. Feel like I’ve learned so much about this older version of myself compared to the person I used to be, like an evolution of self, I used to worry about age, now I don’t even think about it.
One thing is for damn sure thou, health is absolutely wealth.
I’m not interested in being the richest guy in the graveyard, can’t take it with ya when ya gone and all that, but you can build incredible memories, experiences, craft visual moments and explore them unabashed, that’s what this time junction is for, this real time frame of existence in this reality, in this plane. Adaptation is key, you’ve been doing a lot of that lately.
Props for listening to yourself and what you need.
Boy about to get out there and score some EGGS, I need to make some breads up and get some eggs on the go, I’m missing the sricachha ha ha vibes but I’m cruising to re-up on that bad boy before the month is out, gonna be good to have that stuff back in the cupboards.
Sounds like you got a plan for today, will try and do some co-working with you later on in the day but I really want to sprint and get these hours in, want to actually be on the clock properly today pomo style, take a break and then get back into it. I feel like when I do this then it tops up the creativity clock so I feel like I’m getting a full and balance day/life.
How’s the painting vibes btw? Are you loving it, what’s cool or crappy about it? Tell me more, I can totally visualise you sitting in front of the picture taking ya time and being all precise and stuff, you know you really should be like capturing that on video, time lapse styli and all that.
Ok, time for me to crack on, thinking of you napping away, having random dreams, jumping over downed sections of space port and making leaps across the chasms of space and time to get back to machine to hit that ENTER key!
It’s a tuesday, the month not important,
It’s a turbo one, time for a few sprints,
Water, stretch, water, coffee, wipe the eyes.
Make a list of three items, crush those,
That is all you gotta do today.
WINNING.
Mwah,
