I am coming back to the America, and there is no turning back. I was in Japan for just shy of 2 years and I had a great time. It was truly a life changing experience and I look forward to the next chapter in my life.
So I am losing my visa. It turns out my school could not renew my visa, so Japan is giving me the boot. When I first found out my first thought was to go home immediately, but I thought about it and I decided to do a ‘visa run’. This is where you leave the country and come back on a new visa. It is...
The weather is cold af. It is definitely sweater weather. I love it, actually. Coming home and going under the kotatsu is a house past time, if you don't know what it is look it up. I know it probably won't get cold enough for snow or at least anything that will stick for more than a day, but that's...
I have been living in Tokyo for a few months now, and I must say that I am enjoying the contrast to my life in Kanazawa, the sheer amount of people is quite exciting.
There was an incredibly strong earthquake in the Ishikawa prefecture with a of magnitude 6.2, 'Noto Earthquake'. Of all days it happened new year's day. It was a shock for me to say the least. Luckily I was far enough from the epicenter that I was saved from any serious effects.

There are memories that we cherish and those that we would rather forget. I recently went by my old school Long Beach City College and saw they were the demolishing the music building. It was sad to see this, as I had spent years in this building through the recording engineering program as well as...
There is a time in my life where I felt trapped, if not by the physical space, by the mental space that it created. A sense of complacency has taken over for too long. An inward journey can only last so long, you can only go so far before hitting the brink of insanity, where all justification and...
My life is everchanging I grasp for the things that remain true, that do not faulter, just to have them crumble to dust. I seek perfection in the things to do only to find that perfection is a mere concept and nothing more. Are my creations my own or just amalgamations of the past stitched together...
We are moving further into a future with AI even with the dissenting minds. I believe that using, interacting and understanding it is important for myself, and those who don't want to be left in the dust. So naturally I asked chatGPT 'What do you think about the future of art?'
