A check in

jawara318Leave a comment

My son and I are thinking , I have not checked in with y’all in a long time.

So hola galeras,

I am tired. I am tired but in a good way , I hope. My creative mind is burning bright but not so much it might burn out. That is a fear of mine still. That I’m on the end of my candle in the darkness. The sleeping world calls to me these days and sometimes I hate it. My wounds strip me of my energy. What wounds? The ones left from bleeding and bruising. I’m deeply annoyed a lot but I blame it on my diabetes. It puts me in a bad mood sometimes for no reason. I’m trying to meditate more, which is to say I should start meditating again.

I dream about my future sometimes. I see my future home and my studio. So two homes. A lot of kermet green tile. I see lots of fuzzy rugs. So much music. And the cats are there with me and Alec is jamming out.

A perfect dream home.

Im ok but working on it.

Weekend recap

Hola Galeras,

I’ve been busy painting. Here are a few shorts to watch.

Worked on some book club readings

It has been a wild week but I got my car back. So that is great. My last rain ride of the week gave me a present of an empty car.

I think even with the car I might take the train a few days a week. Just feels good.

Be kind to yourselves Galeras.

Ps

I did a new film roll too.

Hola Galeras,

Hope all is well. In the time of 2025 I am moving and shaken. I feel like all these things are kind of leading into beautiful little adventures that will leave imprints on artwork I can make later. There’s just this perfect aspect about conveyor belt, sushi. You just feel so fancy eating very little food

I think the funny thing about the metro and riding the trains in general is I was always afraid of them in my 20s. Well really up until my 20s. I just had this uncontrollable fear that I was gonna get lost and never find my way back home. There’s probably something to that, but I’m not going to look too deep into that right now. It was a beautiful celebration of Mylo and their birthday. Alec still has the perfect touch when it comes to playing claw machine machines and I might even actually be developing a skill.

Feliz Tuesday.

Hola Galeras,

Today is special Galeras. We have sold and are signing off and handing over keys to the condo. I’m happy but sad.

I know everything is fine but I feel like it’s a huge thing and huge things take a lot of you some times.

Wish us luck Galeras as we take big steps.

Q and a

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Being a Dj was such a dream. It was honestly like this thing that I thought was completely attainable. Because my father was a DJ. He came up here from Trinidad and Tobago with a dream and he fulfilled it. It gave me hope for things that other people thought was impossible. And for a little while, I actually did that I was a DJ. I did music on digital radio, as well as I DJ in some clubs. It was wild, but ultimately my mind could not keep up with the crazy hours but for a couple years, I lived that dream of the five-year-old me.

My setup was never this nice. But it was fun at times.

Good morning

Hola galeras,

Mochi says “hi”.

I’m going to see my Dad today but I wanted to give you the week end roundup.

A nice live show.

Working on the fine details shorts.

The hearts called out to me.

I’ve had a hard time in the last few years sharing my paintings online. I do it with my Patrons but I don’t feel like I owe it to the internet anymore. I love showing people in real life. Gotta do more shows.

Here is an abstract satiate.

Next week we do it again.

Shorts for the week

I was planning on making something this week and this face stuck with me.

The thing is at first it was really flattering. This algorithm finds you so interesting that it would like to help you manage your career to be better and more profitable then you realize they’re just an answer to everyone.. The bitterness has sat in. 😂👎🏾

I just really love Miles Davis. Somewhere in my 20s I discovered jazz albums and they have stuck with me the rest of my life.. Miles is one of the first albums I ever heard.

I hope the week has been nice to you. It has been OK for me, but it is only gonna get better from this day forward.

Lastly, I just want everyone to know it’s OK to be sad right now or angry, but don’t stay with that feeling for too long. We are creative. We are amazing and we are intelligent, so we’re gonna figure out a way to do some thing interesting something smart And something incredible.

I believe in you because you believe in me and so we’re both real.
