well i did feel like posting*

 i had in mind to post some of my 'graphite material.'  but going through some, i came across some (fountain pen) inked material that kinda fits my feelings more right now.  i've been seeing an annoyingly (for the most part) amount of the 'new age' material in my algorithm, i guess is what it is.  so i had written something namely on manifestation, so i thought i could post that 'again.'

figured u wouldn't mind, and at least someone may appreciate:

 

pretty sure i could create more/new written material.  tho i'm in the mind of graphite right now*

so, have ya enjoy this post~

let my attentions settle around here~

 

the nes output to the crt im using, is fantastic with this /solution/, tho composite

retrograde?  not sure how that term is 'used' really.  but i'm drawing back into my past with these type avenues, which can be useful.  i used to be quite the straight edge.  but not that good at games  :P

why do we do what we do?  life should be enjoyed.  enjoyed, without infringing on others.  low key crt setup for 8 and 16 bit gaming has my focus/ plans right now.  i have 'sega genesis' setup as well.

so that's my avenue.  hideout in front of a crt, and prove i was here, by way of a blog*

i'm really just sharing some free thoughts here, how my thoughts kinda work like. 

i dunno.

be that as it may, i wish you ~peace
-db 

well if we can keep moving forward...

i'd like to keep going*

passed the 120hr mark today, of no smoking/cigs.  other things on the table to keep working on, as well.

drifting towards graphite.  i think it's a more 'reserved' option, relative to the inks.  and, so i had the thought to share some of my graphite stuff, fwiw.

 

this is the 'edc' expression of the graphites*

in sometimes of arts, this setup is good for outline/sketching

i've never really been able to use more than two lead hardnesses, to any effect (i go with hb and 2b these days)

they are faber-castell, and work well when i have need of them

this setup, in theory, should become my daily driver(s) right now, in this graphite phase

these are 2 rotring 600's, with 2b and hb leads respectively

i had the blue one with 2b lead first, as i tend to prefer the softer/darker 2b lead, i think.  the gold rotring 600 has the hb.  they are both 0.5mm.

haven't been writing much these days

maybe its time to start playing with my thinking/ writing again...

 maybe that last was a poor choice of words.

in the past, i have put down written thought pieces with graphite, so its not so hard to imagine i lean in that direction again. 

as i like to close w/ ~peace

this is one old art piece*

like, i like the linux/ wacom/ krita combo

[EDIT]
i said i liked that 'combo' but this art piece is so old, i don't recall what software setup i was using*
[/EDIT] 

see i used to have a larger black acrylic ball for contact juggling, and that's one of the static holds in cj,  tho i haven't yet mastered incorporating it into my contact juggling.  such are things, but i got rid of this black ball by now.  started with a smaller clear balls, well, went thru several clear ones of the same smaller size.  then messed with quite a bit bigger black one, then now i have this, which is like a little bit bigger than the clear ones were:

 

looks like its labeled as 'translucent green' online 

hehe, speaking of balls, here's something else i've owned for a while.  it's known quite a bit of my path:

 

"just a sphere of amethyst"

this is even smaller than the clear balls i started with, but the most expensive i guess.  it was like 40 bux i think.  at some online rock store.  i had had my eye on this particular one for what must have been at least months.  heh

i blab.  yay balls

[EDIT 2]
thought to add another pic to show better the size of this amethyst, and figured i had it in desk setup atm, tho take it as you will, being in 'night mode' here.  heh:

to be fair, i'll elaborate~

i don't have this for contact juggling, and i suppose in the course as years pass, i have likely tried it before, but i won't again, if i have, at all.
 

success for a day~

hopefully a good omen of a setup here

 i engaged more 'activities' than i normally do, today, which is how i ranked today as 'success.'

read some fiction, tho in ebook form.  played some of the video game i've been working on, breath of fire/ gba.  practiced some of the contact juggling.  actually only the second time lately of contact juggling, and i recorded and shared from the first day i did some.  did my full qigong practice.  shaved with the spiff, today.

the bt speaker is proving an interesting element.  that, with phone/ spotify, its a way to venture away from desktop...  or so it would seem.  still early, yet.  anyway.

success i wanted to share here.  heh.

maybe i'll be able to keep up the contact juggling, and see about sharing some worthwhile content going forward...

well, that's a post, so ~peace
-db 

thinking interesting thoughts :D

like ultimately the goal being to take the contact juggling public again.  i've done it before, and i likely owe a lot of my skills to those durations of practice over the course of the years.  i'll soon have a workable bt speaker.  last times i've spent have been with personal listening devices, if i recall.  or of course, simply no music.

anyway, you gotta break down things like that, so.  if i'd like to one day ride a bike around with my cj setup in my backpack/bag, to settle for spells, with some contact juggling, i think for now, maybe i should try the backyard.

so that will be my most immediate goal for such thought/paths.  so if i'm more than less successful going forward, i'll have some more contact juggling material to share.  hopefully, it'll be such as so.

anyway, just sharing enthusiasm atp i guess

 ~peace

[EDIT]
ya know, i had done some recent contact juggling with that panasonic video camera, and it looks like, i somehow, overlooked sharing a link to that video here on the blog.  woops.  so here's some footage on the video device i'll be using, going forward*

 

more oft posting...

for more oft solutions (?)

this is already in my setups tho repro cart, i don't mind, i think its nice having cart

 

i had started the bof snes version recently on a flash cart (sd2snes), but rather feeling like handhelds, like got this gba sp in mind now, and repro cart bests flash cart in personal preference, hehe, so i justified moving my play to gba, in same game.

started up a short saved game i had last night, and i am so far almost to where i was on snes bof:

good times

 the original 'brighter screen' version of this gbasp's screen still works great imo.  if feels quite nice pulling this thing back out, fwiw.
