A Small List Of What I've Been Up To & What I'm Working On

Posted by CyberneticShotokan - December 15th, 2023


This is just a quick, bullet-point List of stuff I've been doing and stuff I'd like to get done. Just a Quick-Fire-Type Deal, no longwinded explanations.


What I've Been Doing


Going Outside More. Swimming, Taking Walks/Drives, Having Fires Outside, Gardening, Chopping Wood, People/Creature Watching, etc.


Practicing More Self-Care. Cooking Meals, Playing with My Style, Training and Exercising. And remembering to Actually Relax once in a while.


Catching Up On Newer and Older Media. Some bein' playing my PS2 (A Ton Of Jak II In Particular Right Now), trying the updates in Sonic Frontiers, Street Fighter 6, playing DbD again. Watching Hellraiser 3 & 4. Scott Pilgrim Takes Over. Digital Circus. LOVEWEB. A Ton.


Studying History, both of Creative Endeavors and various aspects of Life/Culture, to build Inspiration and Understanding.


Talking about more of this with my Family. Helps me out, helps them understand some of the more Esoteric Worries I usually try to deal with on my own. And I Vent to ya'll less. A Win-Win-Win.


Went to a Hotel near an Ocean around my BDay. Absolutely Incredible.


Went to a Hank Williams Jr. Concert with my Dad. A Ton of Fun, caught a Concert Bug and have been watching Live Performance Uploads of various Artists more.


Went to a Con born from my Home State with my Sis and had a Ton of Fun. Went to a panel with the Director, Executive Producer, and Star Villain of Terrifier 2 which was So Damn Cool.


Spent a lot of time really reflecting, without trying to Hyper-Accelerate it by being on my Art Socials like what ended up happenin'.


Schemin', Dreamin', and Drawin' like Tomorrow doesn't Exist. Both on Creative and IRL Stuff.


Getting a New Phone, and all the BS that can bring.


Taking care of my Animals, Home, Family, and Self more.


And More.


What I'm Working On


Getting my Tech sorted, and making space for it.


Making Studio Spaces in my Homes.


Home Maintenance


Learning to Code, use various programs and coding languages, and getting Game Creation Software (Even More Consumer-Grade Stuff Like dreams)


Relearning to Drive/Gettin' my License


Making Space for various things/appliances in my Homes.


Fixing my Mental. Working Out. And Resharpening my Martial Arts/Marksmanship.


Relearning Measurements and Currency Conversion from U.S.-International


Trying to study Politics without losing my mind. Can be done, but not Easily.


Finishing a bunch of Art for the Art Explosion.


And a bunch of other stuff I both have and haven't already mentioned.


So yeah, if you want a more specific view into what I've been up to: there ya go. This will be the Last Major News Post 'til the Midpoint of Next Year, so like around September-Late August. I may do a bit of Lurking here and on Twitter; especially when I'm making New Web Pages/Art Accounts. But I still want to keep my Distance so I don't fall into the same Toxic Patterns I caught myself in. I'm Hoping Half-a-Year more will be enough. Anyway I'll keep in touch if needed, and if this is the Last I see of ya this Year. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year to ya Reader. Stay Safe, Stay Godlike.


Comments

Hey just a Heads-Up, but while I'll be doin' some lurking before my Full-Time Return; I'm gonna refrain from commenting on stuff for the Time Being. Capitalizing that makes it sound like a Deity...

Anyway I just want to keep a Healthy Distance as I gradually get back in gear.

(Though I Will Reply To Comments/Messages When Seen)

Also, with some exceptions, I'm mainly just gonna surfing my News Feed. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm Ignoring you during this time.

I won't lie I'm tempted to just be Online fully right now again, especially 'cause I'm seeing a lot of Heartache I've felt again. But I'm keeping it to Likes and the Rare Comment for now. I need to deemphasize the Emotional Investment a bit, Cold as that Sounds for the Holidays

But First Off I need to avoid getting in unnecessary fights like I was around the end, that s**t wasn't Healthy no matter what. And Second, I gotta remember to give people space to deal with stuff themselves. I gotta relearn to give support without shoving myself in Lives.

Sorry, I've you've been paying attention this is all so repetitive. I just want to make sure it sticks this time. A continued, Long Break from this and doing stuff at the pace I have been since going Offline should help. Basically unleashed years worth of frustration on this year

2023 definitely gave me and others material to work with in terms of stuff to be upset about, as morbid as that is to say. But like I said, in this Year of Extremes there was enough Awesome with the Terrible to even out into more Hopeful.

But F**k Everyone Knows How Hard It Was

Alright this is (probably) gonna be my last post until next year. Last few days on Twitter have been especially eventful with the Twitch Shit so my Interest was caught. Plus showing Silent Support

Actually I'ma say one more thing before I Go Quiet again. I want anyone reading this to go watch the video on Rick Rubin by Soulr. I find learning about things can cure Hurt Powerfully. And this is one of the most Inspirational Tales you'll find in Art. And one a lot of people need to hear right now.

Actually I'm gonna need to say one more thing, I'm obviously gonna miss a lot being Offline. These last few days of being more Active are gonna be an exception. I'll still check in more than I had been, more so when I start making those Art-Only Accounts. Anyway later
