So hello.
I uh, really fail at keeping a consistent blog. I think it's because I try to undertake too many things at once and so this became some grandiose idea that never fully came to being because I over conceptualized it. So let's take it back to square one, with a new design (which may change, I'll be honest) and a more simple goal. I want to post regularly about what I'm thinking about and what I'm doing, that I think other people will either like or could benefit from. So basically, that will include:

So let's take it back to square one, with a new design (which may change, I'll be honest) and a more simple goal. I want to post regularly about what I'm thinking about and what I'm doing, that I think other people will either like or could benefit from. So basically, that will include:
- research about animal/human welfare
- ways to save the environment
- healthy eating and/or living
- film geek-outs aka movies I want to see or hype I want to comment on
- adventures I take on my bike that are really insightful (possibly brag worthy)
- art things I love from web comics to animation to the classics. expects lots.
On that topic, after years of soul-searching, I went back to my roots and my first love, animation. As a kid I used to draw all the time, on anything, because I wanted to be an animator. To make a long story short, I was worried that doing something I loved would turn into something I hated so I searched for things that I thought were fun in a different way and pursued them. Unfortunately, I realized too late that just because you think you love something and you work really hard, doesn't mean you actually love something and you're not exhausted from pretending.
So here I am. In my mid-twenties. Trying to start over by working full-time in one of my hobbies (cycling!) as I search for schools where I can study animation. Life is pretty good.
Also, I got a new bike. She's gorgeous and as soon as she tells me her name, she'll be posted all across social media because she's my new soul mate in adventure and I want everyone to know she's mine. Especially Bike Index because I refuse to lose her to some selfish, awful person; I will go all The Bicycle Thief on them and be endlessly sad.
FYI if you haven't seen The Bicycle Thief, you should put that on your To-Do list right away.
