I know, weak man that needs to get a whisky or a rum inside of him on the regular right? It’s been a while and I’m certainly due a crisp icy rum and coke of some fashion soon. Maybe not tomorrow or this weekend but soon, I can feel the momentum building.
Got straight into the client stuff this morning. It’s always interesting to see how precious someone is of their ‘vision’ over the outcome, it’s like people have this rigid view of themselves and if they operate outside of that regardless if it looks good for more people it’s more important for them to have their own signature on it.
Must be why we have over 5,500 crypto currency tokens out there and fucking millions of javascript frameworks. Everyone wants their own expression of their vision on it. But hey, it’s time and it’s money and it’s a means to an end, I’m proud that we have gonna parallel processing on all the other things as well so they run in random.

Just took a look at the product specs for gifs and videos this morning, I’m certainly gonna make a whole batch of graphics and layouts and I bet I can sell them on gumroad or link to fiverr gigs for making them — I know gifs and videos are gonna be hot because they really stand out when you are scrolling through the page. Money left on the table there!
It can be a bit of a spinning plates thing being someone who plays with technology from a creative perspective rather than an academic one — i feel like the journey is more difficult for sure but I think I need to have the full picture instead of just a narrow vision, I need to feel it like staring at a piece of art and trying to understand the origin story.
Glad I got straight into the work this morning, I know this is going to be a back and forth for a while so I’m happy to step through and understand what someone wants in that process and wonder how an engineers brain looks at image and creativity so differently.

Having a little trouble with my organisation of my time this morning, got a little chaos mind where I want to do all the things at once. I’ve started stuff for the client but my flipboard, pinterest, video making, gig updating, layout ideas is coming in hot demanding attention.
I really wish I could do like SIX x TWO HOUR sessions a day to clear some of this backlog, but i’ve just not been able to get over the fact that some of those things are going to be in different phases, I’m not good at doing prep on one area, then actual work on another because my headstate is always where I started — I guess I gotta be more meditative today with my approach.
Thursdays (thirstdayz) are always the start of the weekend too in my head now, has been for a while, if for anything because this day kinda becomes my friday and friday was the ease into it and recovery day allowing me to be sharp for the weekend before sunday rolled around which was also recovery from saturday nights :)
If there is one thing i really miss it’s being curled up in bed, watching some old classic that you’ve never seen and passing you the bottle over or getting our fixings all together for collective sharing, bread board, cheese and breads ready to go.
Ok, seems the world is waking up so I’m gonna keep this one short — just know that my sleep pattern has been returning, I’ve ran out of bananas but will get more tomorrow, erm, what else, excited about making social gifs/movies and gumroad template packs there to crush the tagging stuff.
Taking a big breath, gonna do quick meditation to get balanced again after all these ‘streams’ of input. I think I’m just trying to do too much and getting sidetracked and having to reset each time.
I miss you but know that I see past the woods and trees now, things are changing fast (as they always do) but I know that at some point there will be blue skies and pizza for me to nom on, ok, let’s get into thursday.
Love you,
Mouser x
