2025 so far has been a lot of changes, mostly positive.
After a couple failed relationships, I'm finally in one where it feels so genuine that I've never realized how much I needed it... :')
I've decided to forever part ways with the college radio station I was a part of. I talked about it much in 2023 when I was at my most active, but in recent months I was being actively mistreated and disrespected in my administrative role in the station, and decided that it was not worth it. Since I've left I've been in a much better mood overall. Thanks for the fun times and for wasting the first half of my time in university, I guess.
Some of my recent videography work got a lot of publicity and was praised by many people. Feels nice upgrading to the HVR-Z1U now, and I'm hoping to go exciting places with my much better set up. Purchased an HVR-A1U as a secondary HD camcorder and a capturing deck (wouldn't really want to use the Z1U strictly for field work and capturing). If you still use DV tape in the field, you'd understand the importance of having a deck as opposed to your main camera being your deck.
Positive things happen in your life and you feel like you have lots of control over the trajectory of things... like academics, job stuff...
Despite 2025 feeling globally like the U.S. is eating its own tail, so far the year has been good to me personally. Hopefully the year will be great for all of you as well. :)
