I went to UVU in 1995 where you know who was shot. I did freelance animations for Cornell University back in 2017. In 2000, I made the Black Eyed Peas first website My past will never stop haunting me. 👻

I caught a huge bolt of creative inspiration yesterday and it scares me. I don’t know what to do with it all and I’m desperately trying not to lose forget these ideas like dream in the morning…

I just completed Elden Ring for the third time over the weekend, so please indulge me for a sec. I think it ruined video games for me. Everything comparable seems lame. GoW, Witcher3, Wolverine - just feel like long cutscenes that tell you when to push a button. If I wanna movie I’ll watch a movie.

I tried Bloodborne & Mortal Shells 2 too but it all feels painfully linear. I heard good things about Crimson Desert. I’m interested cuz the exploration & discovery hits my buttons with Elden Ring, but it feels daunting to relearn a whole new gaming mechanic & menu UI. So any recommendations?

Decided to play to Bon Iver’s “22, A Million” and now it feels like Fall and I’m all nostalgic and depressed and I can’t stop listening to it. GREAT. The cycle begins again.

Sometimes I browse through heritage auctions and I find the occasional odd gem, but today I stumbled upon the mother-load: these ridiculous grocery store ads promoting the release of The Jungle Book, and each one has me absolutely reeling. Sharing them here so you too can share in my bewildered joy

I just platinumed Elden Ring! (That means I got all the trophies, and played it through to three different endings.) It’s quite possibly the best game ever. I think it’s my new religion.

Updating my portfolio website sends me into an existential crisis. Thinking of my career (past, present and future) makes me want to just give up, crawl under a rock and die.

My car was broken into Iast night. Nothing was broken or stolen (that I can tell. The only thing they took was a big shit in my back seat. What is it with my life, you guys!?

Played the Mortal Shells 2 beta last night and it was cool I guess. Maybe I’m spoiled by Elden Ring, but running down a single path with guys that jump out at you feels more like a haunted house than an immersive world to explore. I don’t know if it’s for me. And no, I haven’t played any Dark Souls.

I watched the Travis Barker doc last night and it was really great. It’s been about 30 years since I could call him a friend, but I’m super proud of that guy. Much love.

Every Utah driver’s favorite thing is to make a left turn into the middle divider lane directly towards my car while I’m just driving down the street, trying to mind my own business, and it gives me a heart attack every time and I hate it.

Introducing myself with 10 concerts I’ve seen (I’ll stop when I want edition): 1. Peter Bjorn & John 2. Chromeo 3. Moby 4. Black Keys 5. Perfume Genius 6. Wolf Parade 7. Easy All-Stars 8. Spearhead 9. Blonde Redhead 10. Modest Mouse
