Favorite Things of 2022

Big Thief put out the best album of the year – a true masterpiece.  

Also very good:
Dehd – Blue Skies

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Cool it Down

Top Gun (USA USA USA!) was my favorite movie of the year. Anyone who doesn't like this movie is trying too hard. It's a good movie. Everything Everywhere All at Once actually lived up to the hype. Also, the Unbearable Weight of a Massive Talent.

"Computers" Update

Update.

I've been working on this "Computers" concept on and off for about 3 years. 

I don't know where it's going, but it feels like whatever I'm making needs to be made. 

Sometimes it feels like it's all just making itself.

I've always liked making stuff. Hats, t-shirts, websites. But I have to be careful because it's a slippery slope. As I make stuff and people respond to it, I tend to put pressure on myself to make more, and then I begin overthinking, and it all becomes really stressful. That's where I am at right now. I am making this stuff, but then don't know how or when or why I would share it. It's sort of this weird cycle of creating and then overthinking what the creation is or isn't. The result is I do nothing. And wait. Also, of course, resulting in anxiety and the feeling of missing an opportunity or losing momentum. 

The only way to move forward is to remove any and all expectations. 

Just keep going.
