Heyooooo!
Another year another attempt at keeping this blog alive. What is the over/under on how many months I am able to maintain posting? Probably 3. God I hope it’s more than 3. 2024 is the year. I’m not really sure why I am feeling so confident but for some reason for the first time since 2020 I am thinking that this is the year of success. Maybe it’s because 2024 just has a nice aesthetic. For some reason something about those numbers just looks nice.
Maybe this is because I feel like I am finally feeling balance in my life. I have been able to narrow down my hobbies and interests into a few solid priorities: games, painting minis, and my book club. I have one solid goal which is to finally get in shape. I have come close a few times but have never quite been able to close the deal. I finally feel like I am getting the dad thing down. Don’t get me wrong, I still have no idea what I am doing, but I no longer feel like every decision I make is going to irrevocably fuck up my child, which I am counting as a win. More details on this to come.
So what am I doing with this this year? More mini updates, I have been slowly catching up on my backlog and have a few decent models to post. Actually for Christmas I got some gear to take better pictures of my finished products so I won’t look like such a scrub going forward. I thought no one cared about my casual hand and mess pictures but I caught some serious shade on the mini painting subreddit the other day and so that illusion is officially shattered.
I say all of this knowing that I have been telling myself for years that I was going to keep up with my writing and turn this blog into something and not following through. I have things to say, but does anyone actually want to read them? Why do people (me) feel the need to toss all of our thoughts out into the public sphere? It seems like this is better than therapy. It’s definitely cheaper. If you somehow stumble onto this post and this is your first time on this site, welcome. I promise it’s not normally this stream of consciousness, but I’m having a weird day today. The baby woke up at 4:30 because she’s teething and that was it’s own special hell for the rest of the morning.
Alright this is day 1 of the revamp. Posts incoming. So much writing. Prepare thyself.
