So here it is! Our yellow kitchen! I mean, it’s not fully painted just yet (we still need to re-paint the baseboards white and we need to fix the trimming on the door/vents.) Painting today took us longer than it did last time, especially because we had a hard time with streaking. I think the…
#NewMusic – Wake Up: Fully Producing My First Song Alone
It somewhat baffles me that as an artist who has been writing his own songs for about 12 years now, I have never fully produced a song with my vocals on it. Well, that’s not entirely true. In the past, I have mucked around editing covers and I did release a “single” in 2012 that…
Surprising My Spouse With A Painted Door
Today I spent some time with my parents and I asked if they had any extra paint hanging around their condo. To my surprise, they actually had a bucket of yellow paint. I wasn’t too sure if this was the yellow we wanted for the kitchen, so I thought… hey why not surprise my partner…
Painting The Kitchen (Day 2): Much Better With A Helping Hand
This week my partner and I spent a couple of hours working on getting the base coat up in our kitchen. It was a lot quicker and more bearable than painting the room by myself and let me tell you… I’m so happy the first part of the kitchen is done. We’re thinking of painting…
Painting: It’s A Lot More Work than You Think It is (First Attempt Painting Our Kitchen)
Since moving in I’ve known that we’d have lots of work to do on the walls of our new apartment. We moved into an apartment that seems like it hasn’t been cleaned properly in years. The walls are covered with holes, cracks and every room is slapped with dirty and what looks like a brown…
I’m Feeling Me.
I’ve been feeling more me again. I don’t know what sparked it, but I’ve been feeling more energized and especially artistic. I fall in and out of feeling me quite frequently, and sometimes I feel like there are glimpses of me feeling me, but this time I feel closer than I’ve ever felt. It sounds…
Dance the Soap Away
I’ve recently downloaded a few apps to my phone to keep me a bit more active. Well, one of them is the video game Pokémon Go, which my partner pretty much begged me to get back into. The other is Google Fit, which I downloaded since the integration of the two. Being someone who has…
Breathe Like
I find it extremely hard to separate myself from art. Although there have been countless efforts to try to convince me that there would no way for me to survive just creating art, those efforts mean nothing to me since I feel like art is just the extension of me. My sister always jokes that I…
Why are my outlets always sparking?
Since moving into our new place, I’ve noticed a lot has been wrong with our electricity. It’s something I noticed the first week we moved in, but I haven’t really had time to have someone come in and take a look at it. Today, I managed to get an electrician in to give me a…
Step One to Moving Into a New Apartment: Clean the Vents
Sometimes I feel like as a millennial I’m unprepared for a lot of what the “real world” is like. I know how to do the basic chores like grocery shopping, minor cooking, and cleaning, but I lack the knowledge of how to upkeep certain things in my space. For example, I didn’t realize how vents…
