Searching in Venice

Hey, readers.  Last week, I got to watch a special screening of an animated short film by Mike J. McAllister.  It's called "Never Saw Venice."  Let's just say that it's about a guy who's going through some things.  It...hit...hard.

"Never Saw Venice" is a tough watch, but I recommend checking it out when it's released.  The short isn't available for viewing on his youtube channel.  Mike wants to shop it around to some film festivals.  However, the trailer for it is.  You can watch the trailer here or on his youtube channel.

Nomading About

Hey, readers.  It's life update time.  Due to shady landlord shenanigans, my mother and I had to vacate the premises.  We're currently staying with family til we can find a new place to live.  So, Aji's Decorating Corner will definitely be on hiatus.

I've only been here a week, and I'm already going crazy.  Since the apartment my family lives in is small, I had to leave my bag of craft supplies in our storage unit so we wouldn't take up too much space.  This majorly sucks.  I hate leaving my things in storage.  Especially since we lost a majority of our stuff twice over the years with this damn storage company.

I'm still salty about it.  Family photos, my high school yearbook, and other personal belongings.  Gone.  It feels like part of me is missing.  If we lose our things for a third time, I think I'm going to crack.

That's enough venting for today.  Hopefully, my next post will be less of a downer.  Til next time.

Walls are Closing In

Hey, readers.  For the past few weeks, I've been dealing with some personal issues that have left me feeling really down and stressed out.  It's like I'm in this void where nothing I say or do matters.  I hate this feeling.  Go away, feeling.

To distract myself, I've been doing a lot of youtube watching and podcast listening.  Again, I'm sorry about the lack of updates.  Really hoping to get back into the swing of things soon.  What do you like to do when you're feeling down?  Let me know in the comments.

Goodbye, 2015

This year has been a mixed bag of depression and disappointment.  It's been one letdown after another.  The only highlight of this year for me was The Black Rose naming my blog as one of the 20 Best Goth and Alternative Blogs of 2015.  So, I'll be looking at the coming new year with a bit of skepticism.

Sorry for the lack of blog updates lately.  Haven't really had anything interesting to blog about and I've been a bit depressed.  A lot of personal issues have been gnawing at me for the last few weeks.  Hoping to get myself out of this funk and post more in the future.
