A Man and His Life and, Sometimes, His Wife
Memento Mori
It has been exactly one year since the end of Unus Annus, and it has been quite the year. It is fitting in a way that it falls on a day that I would normally sit down to write my post. It hasn’t quite been a year for me yet but this has caused me to look back and reflect. It has been twelve months since I first had the idea to create this blog. It didn’t become exactly what I wanted it to be but I think it became exactly what I needed it to be. It has been three hundred and sixty five days since I made the commitment to myself that I was going to change the way I live my life. I think it is time I take a moment to reflect on the time that has passed and what I have been able to make of this year.
Inside My Brain
This week I wanted to talk about Bo Burnham’s Inside. As such, this will be a different type of post and will probably be a shorter post than most. There are a few reasons I wanted to go with a discussion about Inside, the first being I just really liked it and I wanted to share. That being said, I highly recommend watching it but I don’t think this post will really spoil it in any way. The other reason is that I am generally uncomfortable talking about what I think about different media because I feel like I don’t know these things well enough to talk about them. I want to try to get more comfortable with that and I plan on talking about other forms of media in the future.
Electronic Leash
I have recently gotten very into "Adam Ruins Everything." I have been watching all the shorts available on YouTube while I am trying to get other work done. It's a really great show and it has caused me to reflect a lot more on the world around me but that is a topic for another post. Two episodes in particular really inspired me to get my butt back in gear to start doing the things I want to do. The first is a very Unus Annus-esque video you can find here.
What makes you, you?
I can't believe a YouTube channel that only lasted a year has led me down this incredible path. Sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you are expecting. Some days you wake up and the universe just says no to your plans. There is nothing you can really do about that and I am beginning to learn you need to just roll with the punches.
