Quick post to go over some of the updates. I made and am happy with the state of the "inspo" tab! It's been important to me to make sure that I am documenting my references and shouting out those who have lead me down the path of discovery (even if no one is reading it rn). Both the sites I put up are really great!!! Seafare is actually crazy detailed and so so deep. I could happily get lost in the links for hours.
I intend to make some cool additions now that I have some understanding of what I can accomplish as a newbie. (whaaat, this is my first website??) Here's the unfinished list!
- Change log
- propper footer!
- clock of up-time (in footer)
- about-me page[?]
- some shrines for my passions!

Well, I guess there's nothing to do but to start writing. Who is the audience though? It must be you, since you're reading this. But who are you? Who am I?
I think how I would describe myself is as a modern day peasant of the internet. My goals for the space I now care for is to craft something evocative, artful, and reflective of myself. This site is my canvas on which I will learn to paint with HTML and CSS. I am a being of mortality, of flesh and bone and sinew. As all beings of this world, I am bound to one day no longer be. But, while I am here, it is my responsibility to myself and my fellow beings to create, connect, listen, and be listened to.
It feels wrong to talk about my experience sometimes, as though my memories live inside a box on the top shelf of a closet, only to be opened and explored when a new artifact is added. At one time, my box held comparatively little, and it was something I shared with others with the ease of a dance in the first rain of spring. It felt natural. It happened without consideration of who may bear witness or what a fool I may look like. These days I feel the fool regardless of whether I open myself up to others or not, yet am I?
I somewhat regret logging these trails of thought I've had, but I will keep them anyways. I am hopeful that I can take catch the reins of time and refine my words and presentation as it inevitably progresses. To get back on track: I am a deeply existential individual, but one who can be grounded though generative endeavors and collaborative experience. At least that's the goal. I hope anyone who witnesses my journey can take heart in their own pursuits of themselves.
