My Life On Vocal At The Moment
Introduction Since November 23rd, 2025, continuing on Vocal has been made difficult for me due to Vocal's minimal support. The music I chose for this piece is "Hard Workin' Man", written by Jack Nitzsche, sung by Captain Beefheart, featuring Ry Cooder on the guitar. The rhythm provided by a car body printing press, and the image I created for this, is appropriate.

Listening to Trees
I didn’t go into the woods looking for wisdom. I went because the city felt too loud in ways sound couldn’t explain. Sirens, screens, conversations stacked on top of each other—everything demanding attention, everything urgent, nothing patient. I told myself I just needed air. A walk. An hour without notifications.

Fighting Alcohol
Meet João, a 35-year-old man living in Sambizanga, one of the most violent and chaotic neighborhoods in Luanda. Here, life is harsh and opportunities are rare. Alcohol is everywhere. It is so common that an 8-year-old child can walk into any local store and buy drinks for their father, mother, or even an aunt without anyone stopping them. João grew up seeing his neighbors, friends, and family members drink every day. Over time, drinking became a part of life — almost a survival mechanism.

2026 Writing Goals
My 2025 Writing Goals went really well, so I'm continuing on to make this a tradition. For my 2025 goals, I wrote down 16 goals. I did not expect to accomplish them all, and I was perfectly OK with that. I didn't even expect to get halfway through. I felt like 5 or more would be good. The idea wasn't necessarily to accomplish them all... if I did, fantastic. The idea was to list out all the goals that I'd like to see myself accomplish, some combination of them. And work towards getting as many as I could.
