2025.

In 1.5 hours.  I'm going to bed now but I'm sure the fireworks will wake me up.  "This will be the day we've waited for."

pyres (or, I write the weirdest poems when debugging)

candlewax on her back blood pools below as the evening shadows dance I wander here below lost in the rhythm of fireglow burning holes in the dust as I pace --  my art that paints my hate for this place faint smoke rises as candles glow hollowed-out drumbeats on empty skulls we are the ones who forsook it all amidst the thorns, we chose to fall and so we burn the candles atop her back the gray moon topples as the stars turn black (let it all turn black, let it all turn black) why did you snuff out my stars? my moon and Venus, Saturn, Mars I wanted to watch them fall from the sky As they were mine, the day my light died. When these skulls once lived, what made them scream? Their thoughts, their hopes, opinions, dreams? We are the ones who made them die In these sputtering flames that mock the night sky.  we are the ones who forsook it all amidst the thorns, we chose to fall and so we burn the candles atop her back the gray moon topples as the stars turn black (let it all turn bl...

oh no new serotonin source just dropped

I was always using bodyspace to track my lifts. But then I found this thing (Liftoff) Do you see this elephant? The tiny little elephant with a sweatband? It's so cute. Serotonin temporarily restored. This little guy will get me progressing in the gym. 

Today's motivation

  I've been doubted today again. This happens a lot when I visit home. 

2025

NYR aren't finished yet, but I have a loose list of deliverables and challenges. I didn't realize advent of code ended on Christmas (lol, should've been obvious based on the name) so I flubbed that.  My main pain points are: Not getting to bed on time Running out of time for 3d art Running out of time for coding projects Running out of time for engineering studies 3d art will be fixed if I do at least 30 mins at the end of my art studies. I need to figure out code/eng because there's a lot of physics and math to do. Then if I don't game any later than 30 mins before my cutoff time for bed, I'll get to bed basically on time. 

just killed a shiny finizen in Pokemon violet

Didn't realize my Gardevoir's like 50 power move would nuke it Legit just randomly stumbled on a shiny of one of my favorite pokemon and killed it I really don't have much going for me right now. 

Making time

I watch some Nick Bare videos from time to time. One of them really stuck with me because it helped me to understand something that didn't make sense to me for most of my life until now.  I never understood what people meant when they said "you have to make time ." Like, what does that even mean?  Turns out, it just means scheduling in advance and committing to what you've scheduled. That's it.  Instead of reactive planning, where you try to "fit everything in" and then suddenly it's the end of the day and you haven't done half of the stuff you wanted to.  Yesterday I 100% ran out of time. I ended up working late due to being stuck on a major bug (and figured I could use that to leave early on Thursday anyway). That was worth it I feel, even though it is very rare for me, but then I got completely thrown off the rest of the day. Because I did not make time for everything.  So, how am I going to do that today? I also have to make up for the sessio...
