I reach in my jacket pocket

I reach in my jacket pocket for the magical map to determine what dimension I ended up in

I study the windows to see if I see anybody staring at me

As in I looked like someone that had a big problem with

There was a time when I was traveling with my mom we were at a thrift store since she loves to thrift. I was browsing around waiting for her to finish up and I walked into an aisle with one other person in there. If looks could kill, I would’ve collapsed right then and there from the look that this random person gave me. Ignoring the gaze, I walked by and I heard them mumble underneath their breath calling me a fucker or something. Since I was traveling, I’ve never seen this person in my life before, but I got a bad feeling that I might’ve looked like an enemy or something to them. That’s when my flight response kicked in and I knew that we needed to leave. And, it might not have been related, but that night, I heard someone in that area took a bullet so I think I might have literally dodged a bullet there.

In my experience, it’s not so much as AI is a problem, it’s competition. There’s a lot of animators but not a lot of positions

That I’m a virgin

Thanks, glad you like it. I hand animated this with key frames by moving the character’s body parts around

The test animation that got me an animation position at work

Futurama. People go to the moon for donuts, there are fast food joints even in the furthest reaches of space, you can go any part of the world in less than a second, most, keyword MOST, robots cater to your needs, you can live literally anywhere, and silly, adventurous stuff happen all the time.

Not really. I try not to think about the eventual end, I think about what’ll happen before the end comes. Think about it, in our lifetimes we’ve seen the advant of AI, self driving cars, computers in our pockets, the other side of the moon. Who knows what we’ll see tomorrow? Something as amazing as a hover car or something is trivial as a new indie movie. But even if it’s a new movie, that’ll be something no one has ever seen before. I like to think that even though the end will eventually come, we’ll at least see something that made our journey to the end at least interesting.

The bigger, the better. I have a 75 inch in my bedroom and a projector that encompasses a wall in the theatre room. Granted, my bedroom is kind of big so I like it. Living room has a 70 inch so I’m happy with things. Office has a wall mounted 50 inch that I use for classic games, ambience, and chilling.

When I was transported to another dimension. My hometown had black goop falling from the sky and when I looked up, I saw a ceiling made of stone. There were holes in this stone that led up to darkness. The buildings in the small town were changed to ancient stone buildings but retained their layout. When I came out of one after exploring it, the sky had changed from a stone ceiling to planet surfaces that were stuck inside one another. There were also hundreds of lights in the sky that looked like stars and were moving around in front of the planets. It’s not exactly my best dream since I’ve had ones where I was happy, but this one stuck with me the most since its so surreal.

Oh no, I meant over the hedge. The movie about a racoon and turtle trying to survive in suburbia

Over the Hedge

Even the obvious AI videos are entertaining to watch. Everytime I see them, I think “Wouldn’t that be cool if that were real?”

To this day, after 30 years, I shy away from relationships. As you did, I grew up with parents fighting, accusations of cheating, tension in the air, picking up the pieces and comforting a parent as a child. I found that I prefer to be alone, not to talk too much, and generally fade into the background. Relationships, especially romantic ones, scare me as I don’t know if I’ll run into the same problem my parents did so I never searched for a romantic one. I don’t know if I’ll be the one making the accusations. I generally think I’m chill and trusting, but I’m scared that the cycle will continue with me and my mind will go to stupid places and I’ll create a relationship not built on trust and love, but suspicion, deciept, and lies. So, now I make a conscious effort to not allow those thoughts to enter. I build every relationship I have, only friendships, on mutual respect for one another and caring for each other. I don’t want to be the accuser in a relationship and repeat the cycle, so I try to be the best friend I can be.

I only ever watch the news for any ufo, uap stuff. I know it’s far fetched and basically filler on a slow news day but it’s better than watching a story of the doom.

I make things look nice by covering up blemishes with an explosion or skin from a foot or a piece of furniture. I’m a compositor.

Does it matter if it’s yours or not? I’m still wondering about that when I had to do this
