This is not the first time I have performed spoken word before. But this is the first time I performed while being recorded. And I am absolutely terrified to share this video.
But I’m going to share it anyways.
Casual rambles, short stories and poetry done casually
I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I have been busy writing as much as possible, downsizing my apartment and catching up with friends. I also did something I haven’t done in a while: I watched the NBA All-Star game from start to finish.
My days off were spent mostly figuring out myself post-Australia when I could have been writing and working out a way to share videos despite not having a computer. However, I still wrote a little ditty on the Bad Bunny.
Not to be too hasty and move on from my experiences in January, but I attended my first Trail Blazers game since returning from Australia and I have some thoughts about it. Also, poetry.
I am returned to the USA, which means that it is time for me to jump back on the horse. I filmed plenty of my time in Australia and want to share it all, but that will take some doing. In the meantime, enjoy my first ramble back in the states.
It should be no surprise that I have thoughts about what occurred over the weekend. Even as I find immense joy in Australia, there is still no escaping the horror from the States. I fear a Civil War and yet I still have hope.
I have been meaning to update you all with more letters about my experience in Australia, but have been stuck in the perfect storm of having too much to do and not enough time to do it. Also, thunderstorms.
I hope everyone is settling into the new year. For me, it’s not really a new year. Not yet, anyways. I have always had an issue with the idea that the new year should begin in the dead middle of winter. Which is why I am writing to you from the apex of summer in Melbourne, Australia.
It took a moment, but I’m excited to say the Casual Camera is here. I had to reiterate how I wanted to the video to look multiple times over, but finally reached a level of complete that I am elated to share.
It’s a late night Monday update because I am prone to late nights. Who could have guessed?
