Yes, July ends in three days. This still counts as a monthly update because it’s still July. So yeah. >__<
So gonna be a quick update, due to busy tasks and other shiz I gotta do today.
Basically I’ve spent this whole month flip-flopping back and forth between having bursts of energy in terms of writing and stuff at my job IRL, and repeatedly crashing and being unable to focus. And it’s not that I’m unable to type or anything like that, or it’s not like as soon as I start typing, I just freeze. The main issue is starting. As soon as I start typing whatever I’m typing, I’m good for a solid two hours, if not more. And occasionally I’ll possibly pass out or end up taking a nap or something. I think I’ve hit a point where I’m fully crashing, probably because of the fact that college is starting back in a few weeks. I feel like I hit a point where I’m basically realizing that I bit on more than I could chew. And it’s more or less smothering me at this point. I basically had to just ignore everything on my To-Do list so I could spend a week playing Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, just so I could take a break.
But I beat both of those games now, so from this point on, I’m gonna focus more on writing and reading and trying to finish as much as I can until college starts. And even after college starts, I’ll still keep typing and making stories. Because that’s what I do.
There really is not much of anything else to talk about of importance that isn’t related to the media. Uh, I saw War For the Planet of the Apes. It was fine. It’s not great though, honestly, and it’s my least favorite in the whole Apes prequel trilogy. Dawn was vastly better. I saw Baby Driver. More than likely gonna be one of the best movies I’ve seen this whole year. I’m not gonna get into movies and media right now, because I feel like I need to make an entirely separate journal explaining storytelling and marketing and what art is. The only reason why I’m mentioning this is because The Emoji Movie recently came out. And at this point…this isn’t funny anymore. It’s just not. It’s not.
I’ve reached a point where…where I’m genuinely considering buying Norm of the North on DVD. I’m not even joking. I’m tempted to buy this movie, because that movie had some level of effort put into it. It was minimal as shit, but there was effort put into it. The Emoji Movie exists because money. And that’s it. Even if this movie wasn’t made just for money, pretty much everyone would look at it and say:
“This is just a diet version of Inside Out.”
So yeah. Between my various highs and lows, my fucked-up sleeping schedule, having to work over 30+ hours per week, knowing I have a plethora of commissions to finish, knowing college starts up in about three weeks, I’m not entirely in the best of moods right now. Who knows. May be feeling better by next week. I’m not really depressed or anything. Just stressed.
Like I always am.
Anyway, until next time.

That's called dedication and commitment. Something that The Emoji Movie will never possess.
