For a guy like me, today doesn't feel any different from the rest. Just another joke in a world of pranks. Another folly in a land of tomfoolery. Another bit in our stand-up world. Just don't pull a Michael Richards.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: I wanted to have a video out today, but i lost track of time and don't have anything to show. The joke is, I would be stopped right now, because I say that all the time. I LOVE MAKING PROMISES I DO NOT KEEP!
But the truth is I am working hard. I am about to graduate university so I am grinding there. But I am also grinding here. This website, as I say all the time, feels quite dusty to me, so I'm learning web development. I am writing, I am reading, I am refining my craft. I am animating in 3d and pixel art. I am working on myself and curbing my bad habits. I am at the anvil slamming the hammer down onto my sword.
Do you guys remember Thanos from the movies The Avengers? Well remember how he had that infinity gauntlet with all the stones? Yeah, that's me. But instead of stones of power and evil, they are my skills. and slowly but surely my gauntlet will be powered, and then the world will not know what hit them.
A professor told me something recently that's stuck in my head: your work doesn't have to be serious, so long as you take your work seriously. and you can say a lot about the shit i make. but one thing you cannot deny is i am taking this shit seriously. Well maybe you can deny that but you're not me. I am me and I know I take this seriously. Maybe even too seriously. But they say trust your gut and my gut keeps me coming back to making videos. So at this point I've just got to commit to the bit and figure out a way to make money along the way. Does that sound stupid? Probably. I guess the real April Fool was me the whole time.
All the best,
