'your friends are delighted' by rfy [holy fool]
[gel pen, colored pencil, paper collage, plastic wrapper, and packing tape on notebook with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] it's time for a new notebook. to me, this is always exciting. i like filling up books, and i have several banker boxes full of journals going all the way back to the 1980's... gosh... this particular notebook, the new one, has black pages. ain't that wacky?

i posted a new entry on my neocities page, today, too. that's the way it goes. i also learned that using links to images from patreon is a bad idea. the links have an expiration time, for some reason. why the f--- do they let you upload images, but not let you use the images that you've uploaded... silly... whatever. there's always a work around...
i'm fascinated by archiving and attempting to keep my online presence alive after my physical body has crapped out. [you never know how much time you have left...] i don't like the idea of paying for a website with an online service that requires a monthly or yearly payment, because eventually, i'm not going to be around to pay it... that means, i either have to find free sources, or i have to hope some other weirdo is going to keep my shit alive once i'm a goner...
why not live in the now? i mean... it is now, right? so why not enjoy it??
anyway, here's the link to the neocities page that i posted today [saturday the 15th...]:

I've just uploaded a video of me playing a new phone game, TACO HAMSTER HERO, while my granddaughter, Felicity, makes screeching sounds in the background. I consider this PERFORMANCE ART...and so, it is!
[I just watched the upload and noticed that the video is a little grainy. I'll have to record on a slightly higher level next time. Don't want people getting eye-strain because of me!!! I'm still learning, ya know!]

"I'm Trying to Quit Things" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

once more, i've been working on my neocities page today. i've decided to treat it like a fun place for weird artz, and not give a shit about whether or not it sees tons of traffic, and not care anymore about making a million dollars with my creations. screw it. i'm gonna have fun and make cool shit and play games and just express myself... [for now.]
later skaters...
