Today is the sixth year anniversary of this blog. That is a surprising amount of time. Does anyone even read it? I don't know and it doesn't really matter either, I always treated it as more of a public diary anyway. Here's hoping that it will keep going for another six years. Hurray!

Slowly getting closer to getting my concept into the real world. Today I spent in a workshop with a good friend crafting and finalizing some of the furniture I built in trueSpace. Now painting and assembly is all that remains. Here are some pictures from around the town of Torsby, Sweden.
   My coasters arrived! I had ordered some sandstone coasters on Zazzle with my logo printed on them. For weeks I waited and today they finally arrived with stickers on the package from the UK and Switzerland, and they came from Canada(?!) Well they made it here somehow. That is all for now.
Well, it's a start...
With all the changes going on in my life recently and the mess that has caused I wasn't sure if I was ever going to continue on this project. However, I decided to press on. I'm going to finish this "apartment upgrade" even if it is the last thing I do. Today this sofa arrived and I went and bought a bedspread for... well, the bed. As one can see, the walls don't exactly look great. That's what the samples on the sofa are for. Still picking out a good shade of gray for the walls. Wanted to keep it neutral but not too dark like in my concept renders. Why does the modern world seem to be about nothing but escapism?
You have to look at consumerism fueled advertisements that distract you from the entertainment you're watching/reading/listening. The entertainment distracts you from the spun news reports you just watched/read/heard. The spun news reports distract you from the fact that real life is actually nothing like what you think it is.* Don't get me wrong, this has been going on for as long as information sharing has existed, since the existence of language one would think... but I feel like the scale at which information can now be spread over the internet has shot this aspect of human nature massively out of proportion. In such a way that it might be backfiring horribly in the form of fear and prejudice. Finding out the truth seems to still be a very local thing that you have to seek out at the source but a lie can spread to a large group of people at the speed of your average internet connection. I don't really follow any news outlets or participate in current culture. This is why I feel horribly out of touch with the modern world but I also don't feel like I want to become part of it. I'm fine being who I am. I just wish I knew more people like myself, whatever that type of person is. I've never met anyone like me, certainly not someone at my own age. This is why I keep falling off the edge of this world, time and time again, into the loneliness beneath. Nothing seems to ever be able to keep me up there, no one ever seems to be able to keep me up there. I'm looking for a change but I certainly haven't found the right kind of change yet. All I know is that I don't want to stay down here. I don't want to die already buried. |
