Life has been more difficult than usual for me. But tennis brings me solace.

It took me 10 days of driving. I moved from Pennsylvania back to California. I will miss many things about PA. I saw lot's of cool things along the way. Strange people as well.

Not sure if anyone remembers the very first version of this site, but it was super rudimentary. This site is a constant work in progress. I wrote this version with just basic jQuery, so it's pretty archaic. I've reached the point where I feel like I've hit the limits of building like this, so I'm refactoring it all in react! It's gonna be a bit of time till the next update, but I'm very excited. I have many more things I want to do, and hirocult should have a lot more features soon (an account system is the biggest one). In the meantime, please reach out to me via insta if you have any ideas for what I could add to the site while I'm building out this next version.

It took my like 2 years, but I finally restrung my bass guitar. Wow does it make a difference. I really should have done this sooner lmao. I learned the bass part to "Dig a Pony" by the Beatles. Fun stuff. Shout out to my friend Stephen for kindly giving me the bass. Hope ur doing well wherever u are.

I am fortunate to have such great people around me.

that's probably why I make so much of it

I have come to understand that everything will be alright.

Jaden did.

Here's a quote I found in a Vonnegut book that I like: "What you respond to in any work of art is the artist's struggle against his or her limitations" -Saul Steinberg.

Here's a picture of my sister's cat. I want to do more journal entries. I want to share more with you guys.

I am very sensitive to caffeine. Sometimes I drink too much of it and I begin to vibrate into the upper-atmosphere. It makes me pace around the kitchen and lose track of my trains of thought. I love it at times.

It started snowing. It's pretty and my face gets cold easily. I like this city a lot. I have met a lot of cool people that I feel connected to. I should buy a balaclava.

I have been sick for the past week. 7 days of being in pain and discomfort. I lay in bed wondering if tomorrow I will wake without symptoms, and am disapointed each morning. I was gargling saltwater 3 times a day but gave up on that endeavor. I tried playing pickleball yesterday, but it only worsened my state. I have drank more liquid than badlands chugs could imagine. I have watched so much seinfeld. I vow never to take my health for granted again, but know I inevitably will. Wish me luck. Send prayers.

I used to play on my DS all the time. Mario kart, Animal Crossing, Pokemon. Until I booted it up with an action replay, and everyone was donkey kong in mario kart.

I went climbing again today. I felt weak, but inspired to grow strong

sometimes you just gotta sit for a while.

I used to have really bad allergies. They're ok now (fingers crossed). Grass and dust.

Lily and I saw frogs at frank's house. I like to imagine they were on vacation. 2 weeks out of the year isn't enough time to explore.

This is my first entry. I am self conscious about my writing so this is weird, but it's always good to challenge yourself.
