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.

Digging Myself Out

Hey, readers.  As some of you may already know, I haven't been feeling like myself lately.  My anxiety and depression decided to double down and hit me like an oncoming car.  I felt like my life didn't have any meaning.  But I'm trying to change that.

Decided that I'm going to get back into studying video production/film making.  Like I said in a previous post, I haven't taken a class related to this subject since I was 18.  Before everything went digital.  So, I'll be starting from scratch.

Another thing that I want to do is open an online shop, where I can sell my handmade jewelry.  For that to happen, I need money for jewelry supplies, packaging and other stuff.  If you want to help me reach that goal, click on the link to my Ko-fi page that's located in the header and buy me a cup of coffee.  Sharing the link also helps.

Here's hoping it all works out.  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.
