8/30/25 - Surrender

I'm throwing my hands up and yelling "Waterloo!" at the mirror.

I don't know what happened to all of that beautiful restraint I used to coast along with; something happened to me. It's been everything but helpful to my self image. Look at me, I'm an asshole now.

I have got to become more approachable.

On this track I've drafted up, I'm using a lot of takes of deep breathing. Breathing in rhythm with the emotion, not always just the beat. When I attempt to implement some more uncomfortable things in this work, I try to center the methodology with what I've picked up from David Lynch's work. A lot of his works deal with that psychosexual fringe of need and want. A lot of what happens with the "emotional world" of his material is that we're shown a certain gradient of harm and selfishness that creeps into what is, at it's core, natural. The works don't deny any beauty or love inherent to sexuality as a social need. I feel that they examine a certain danger of "want," when it comes to attraction.

It can't just be about what you want. It has to be a link. The other person has to feel that connection to, and I just know I lost it. The tachyons that were giving this concept life are nowhere to be seen, and it is in this search for that energy that I've come to realize that... perhaps, it was just my imagination.

Maybe I should be grateful for it. And experience to sober the mind and ground the senses. I was floating on air for a little too long, y’know. I think now I'm finally getting that G-Sickness. I'm stepping off the vessel onto a ground that stands still... and it's still washing over me, that little inkling.

I felt this same feeling in Oahu. It's a trip I will always regret, and it's a trip I remember fondly. I remember trying that coffee... what did I say back then? I knew I wouldn't be able to hold it in all day. That ache, it's the worst feeling. I am so glad I never told them how I felt. I should've. I really should've.

8/28/25 - Triangle

The cones and rods are seeing the same colors they always have, just in different places. This particular spot likes to throw the rainbow at me, it's a nice refreshment for the eyes.
You know they've moved me around like 4 times this week? This facility is fucking beautiful. Why don't they let me work here?
Because then it'd get to my head. Those bastards, they’re so slick! These Detroiters, they aren't Americans. They couldn't be. They’re French. They smell like it. So what does it say about me that I really like Macy's cologne? I'm a whore.

Every time I get off work, I remember that I'm single now (I know) so I actually have to find stuff to do again.
And hence this album is goin' smooth.
The feeling behind it is really shameful, real disgusting. It's so fun, right? I think I'm enjoying myself just a little too much. Is there another downswing on the way? It was rough for a minute, but I'm doing good now, y'know? We're still tight, a real friend is irreplaceable, but it's something weird about the citizens of the pink triangle. They're always hanging around, its never a total split. Everybody knows everybody.
I do hope that I am a welcoming sort of lady, right? That I'm moving towards the right stuff? My coworkers are such an easy crowd to riff with, they think im the funniest bitch alive. I haven't even told a joke yet.

I do have to admit though, dear readers. It came back a little. The illness, it's starting to work it way through again. I remember I put my sunglasses when I was starting to develop early symptoms. Sometimes I think it mighta made 'em uncomfortable, but I'm starting to lighten up.

8/25/25 - How Does It Feel

She's talking to me again, she's alive. She and her daughter. Life can keep rolling, hearing from Remas is a blessing.
Manal is also surviving and alive, as well as her three kids. Everything is moving the right way. The bottom line just not yet broken.

I was talking to my twin about co-renting. They've already got a spot in their sights on the east side, things are looking good.

I might have a hangout ready for Friday, I'm looking forward to that. God, I am looking forward to that. Did I mention I'm looking forward to things? I am experiencing what many scientists are calling "Optimism."

More on that later.

I messed up my eyeliner today so now my eyes hurt. Because... of course.
But that's immaterial to the condition of goodness I'm choosing to plant myself in today.

Goodness, goodness, flashing yellow.
I forget what cartoon character said to move like that.

Been stressed about stupid stuff lately, if you can believe it.
If youuuuu, cannnnn, believe it!
Like, what kind of reddish lip gloss should I do for Friday? To match my nails, you know.
But then, how I should train Mihono Bourbon to win the Arima Kinen?

PRIMETIME OF YOUR LIFE is in my ears at full blast. 

I actually got some midi down for Hepburn. Its happening. The style works!
What I'm concerned about is the visual direction. I think I disappointed her with the collage. I've got to go harder. I've got to catch up someday, y'know? Meredith really leveled up on me, too.

I've got to torture the world with excellence before this year is done.

The 2026 rollout is gonna be different. I'll make you guys proud.



9/19/25 - Double R

Good afternoon. Some more sobered journaling today. Today is the first day of the film club. We're starting the program with something r...
