End of Year Status Report

Posted by CyberneticShotokan - December 12th, 2023


'Sup folks, just wanted to give a Status Report before the year's out. I'll keep it short.


First off I'm feeling much better. Well that might be a bit overstated. But I'm feeling back to normal after a year+ of being Super Emotionally Volatile.


Second, my Phone's still outta the picture for now. Got a new one but I'm waiting on Apple to realize it's me (Screwed Up My Password).


And last for now, while there's a ton of people here and on Twitter I miss talking to and I miss posting/reviewing Art; I still need Time.

I don't want to hop back on 'cause I'm feeling better and make the same f**k ups. It's better for me and anyone interested in me or my work that I take more time for Healing and IRL Priorities. I'll lurk a bit, but won't dedicate a buncha time 'til the Mid-Point of 2024


To wrap this up: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year Reader. This Year was Insane. But among all the Heartache there was a lot of Good too. Don't be blind, but don't forget to enjoy stuff when you have a chance.

Best wishes for the next year to you too

Thanks :)

For a bit more of a substantial update since this was kinda vague:

I've been taking this time to relax and get stuff done more efficently; both with IRL Chores/Obligations as well as Creative Stuff. Instead of Drip-Feeding the Art from it for example, I'm just gonna keep building up a bunch of Work for the Art Explosion then release it all when i deem it ready. Been working toward a lot of previously mentioned stuff as well, though maybe I'll do an updated list just to be thorough. One thing i definitely need to mention is that I'm no longer doing the Scream Retrospective because no joke In Praise of Shadows on YouTube did an "Anatomy of a Franchise" on it that said Damn Near Everything i wanted in a much more Eloquent way. Even covered some of the problems of making a Scream Analysis. Honestly there's so much I'd like to share my thoughts on but not now.

I've been trying to keep my finger on the pulse of the various different Art Scenes I follow, while staying unplugged so I don't start Ranting and Raving again Online when I hear a particularly upsetting story. I'll say there's a lot that's been really awesome. But a lot of really dire things as well. 2023's been a Year of Crazy Extremes, but there's been enough Excellent Extremes to where I'm feeling more Hopeful than not. Been Hard as Hell at times though. But yeah all this to say I'm trying not to stay stagnant, but also need to keep this pace for a while longer. It's been especially nice catching up with Family/Friends while working on my Massive Media Backlog. And focusing my studies a bit more. Maybe I'll write a more In-Depth Post as to what I've been up to in this Time 'cause it's been quite a lot. But I'm not here trying to write another big thing right now. Have a Good One Stranger.
