The eighth episode of my podcast: Truth Serum. Do you have the courage to take a dose of truth serum with me? Gop joins me again, albeit in digital form today. Technology is just beautiful in how it can connect two friends across time and space. However, it can also encourage isolation and reclusivity from the physical world. Some may say it's a double edged sword, a blessing and a curse. That is the main theme of our conversation today. We discuss life and its many tradeoffs. It felt great to share our dreams of the future, but it wasn't easy revealing our fears. So here's to the new decade and all the excitement it will bring. We had a great time trying out a new format. I normally really enjoy spending time outside and listening to the sounds of the world, but this was an interesting change. I guess it's par for the course with how the world is changing right now. Plus, I think this gave the episode a more intimate feeling, being inside of our homes. At least that's how it felt for me since I was inside in my private workspace. Also, seeing Hagop's set up inspired me with potential ideas of my own. I really dig his budget studio in the city sky, with the clean background, and the bright natural sunshine lighting. It made for a great contrast with my dark basement environment. ♡

The sixth episode of my podcast: Truth Serum. Do you have the courage to take a dose of truth serum with me?
I'm back again, cleansed by the fall-time rain and re-inspired to share my inner world with you. I took a break and retreated into the privacy of my own mind. My world was becoming quite cluttered and my thoughts felt like they were accelerating out of control. I had all sorts of imaginative ideas I wanted to share. However, they were coming and going so fast, and there were so many ideas fighting for my attention that I became overwhelmed. I decided to close myself off and look inwards. I struggled with my own mind. I also began feeling loneliness too, especially since I had sort of locked myself indoors. Not physically though. I would still spend most of my days outside, oftentimes with friends, and sometimes against lockdown guidelines. But mentally, I was voluntarily quarantining myself.
Also, the saga of troubleshooting continues. When the inspiration struck, I wanted to go out and film in the rain so badly. Unfortunately, I lost my tripod and microphone. I'm a bit of a stubborn guy so I spent way too long looking for them and got way too frustrated. After taking a break, I remembered exactly where they were. A friend had borrowed them. Funny how a step back can change so much. I drove over, picked them up and went out to film by the water right before sunset. I lost a decent chunk of footage again just as my words were really starting to flow out. It's ok, since that challenged me to re-think and re-state what I already knew. Although I am getting a bit annoyed at this point. I might bite the bullet and just buy a new phone. Old habits die hard with me, especially this incredible phone. We've been through close to 4 years together now.
