MIDNIGHT MEDITATION No. 34

ENTRY 13

Hello Patrons! Happy Friday once again! Some crazy shit happened last night. I was at the Walgreens nearby where I do my usual shopping, there was this lady there that I sometimes say hi to and sometimes not because she ignores me when she feels like it and because I don’t do inconsistency well, I closed the loop and stopped saying hi and kept it neutral, last night as I’m checking out, she lost her mind talking about some “YOU DON’T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A WALGREENS CARD?!” When she asked and I barely answered, making a whole scene, I couldn’t believe what was happening, I didn’t freeze, I was just like “Is she for real?” So I let her have it and I left and told her that “I expect better customer service” which sent her to another rage. This was so random y’all. So damn random. Like, I’m more embarrassed for her more than anything because of how absurd the situation is, but anyway let’s move on.

I added on a new character in my “Characters unlocked” So far, I had 6, I’m adding a 7th one “Revel Rebel” Revel Rebel was a zine I made about four years ago and it’s a take on David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel”, but my version is more of a philosophy. So this character is more of the true “Writer / Philosopher” in my characters. So, when I start writing stories and more of my philosophy, you will experience Revel Rebel, I’ll probably fully explain all the characters eventually, but if you look throughout my site, you’ll eventually understand.

Hello Patrons! Happy Friday! Hope you got to watch The Midnight Globe Opening Sequence!! I am currently working to release the next song from “The Midnight Globe’s” first soundtrack.

I really want to master the art of music videos, right now we are starting slow, with animation, still images, and all of that, and soon we will master green screen in motion, 3D editing, VFX, all of that. I have so many ideas for music videos, its eating at me, I can almost say I taught myself how to sing purely so I could get some music videos out, but that wouldn’t be fully true, but music videos will be a HUUUUGE part of my artistry. I just see such an open space for ideas that haven’t been explored yet and I’m excited to produce those ideas.

Hope you have a good weekend Patrons, thank you for your support!

Hello patrons!!! I hope your January has been fantastic! My January has been quiet and cold, but that’s okay because that is the rhythm of the seasons. This month especially I’ve been working on “The Midnight Globe” music video or intro video, I don’t know if I can call it a music video since it’s more-so like a… Theme song intro video. I actually really like the video and I didn’t expect to like it so much, but it makes sense for what I want to do, and I see ways I can use and re-use it as well, so I’m excited about that. Sometimes, I have to be thankful to my limitations because my limitations have helped me in so many ways in terms of innovation, dedication to minimalism, learning the basics of minimalism to produce maximalism, etc. This video was definitely a practice in that direction.

The next phase I’m going to be working on is to actually release a song for “The Cards of MURLIN” – This is a project that just won’t die for me haha. I started working on it four years ago and I’m still adding onto it til this day. Insane. Make sure you purchase your deck if you haven’t gotten one yet!!! Thank you so much patrons!!

ENTRY 10

Hello! Happy January 23rd! This week has been quite mundane, but effective nonetheless. I keep coming up with so many different ideas and they’re not ready to be made, but I can see them being made in a future opportunity. These ideas are not even exclusive to MURLIN TV. I realized I just love to create and since I was in middle school, I would write a whole bunch of scripts for fake TV shows and films and that urge has not left me as an adult, and the ideas I have are varied. I could possibly eventually produce them through MURLIN TV, but.I would just love to sell some of those ides away and see what happens. I definitely have ideas that I know I only want to produce, but I also have countless ideas that I wouldn’t mind giving away as well.

Thank you patrons for subscribing! Voyeur’s 3D GAZE the page is being updated today, and soon, Voyeur’s 3D GAZE with the actual pictorials will begin to release on a consistent basis.

ENTRY 9

Hello all! So, this week has been interesting. I’ve been meditating and doing the regulars. I’m currently working on the theme song’s intro video; Coming up with a concept was so, so difficult, and I’m still in the process of finalizing the concept. Once I release it, it won’t even look like I was struggling to find a concept because of how simple it will look, but that’s the point sometimes.

I’m really excited to see where MURLIN TV goes and how it grows even though everyday that it’s growing, I feel a bit surreal, I don’t really know how to explain it, but it’s sometimes hard to believe I’m doing all of this by myself, and the crazy thing is, it wasn’t a choice, I kist haven’t found anyone who could fully compliment me on this journey YET. I say yet because eventually I have to do some delegating, but for now it’s a heavy one-man show, but all worth it.

Thank you for subscribing Patrons, I fully want to get Voyeur’s 3D GAZE running soon, hire new models and release consistent pictorials. It’s going to be an interesting ride.

ENTRY 8

Happy 2026! I am excited for this new year and what the possibilities are. I’m going to begin update these diary entries weekly and I will soon be updating Voyeur’s 3D Gaze on a consistent basis as well. MURLIN TV is still in a transitional phase, but we are getting everything together. I have a lot of songs ready to be recorded and released, I have the formats for both Voyeur’s 3D Gaze and the comics ready to go, and so much more.

Things have been moving slow, but I believe it’s better like this because it makes everything more clean and intentional. Again, thank you for subscribing patrons.

ENTRY 7

I will soon be updating everything soon. From “Voyeur’s Gaze” to “Behind the scenes” content, I am in an odd position right now, but I am making a very detailed plan to really get MURLIN TV off the ground. I had to get rid of the seasons because they’re not ready yet, so I’ll probably come back with them when I start releasing the comics which will probably be in a few years because I need a serious budget to fully produce the vision, in the meantime, I will still be doing series, Voyeur’s 3D Gaze, and most importantly, music!

Music feels like such an unexpected thing for me to do, but it’s probably what I wanted to do before I even knew I could be a photographer, and I’ve been teaching myself how to sing for the past five years now and I am honestly surprised at how far I’ve gotten. I used to sound ridiculously bad, but it was to the point where, even if I sounded bad, I would still find a way to record the music and put it out because I really believe in what I have to say.

Thank you for your support patrons, it means everything to me. Once this gets going, I will make sure you are consistently fed.

ENTRY 6

So, now the diary is Patron only. Makes more sense for it to be patron only. Last year was a wild year for me, extremely unexceptionally wild. As I get older, I become more astonished about life. I don’t know if it’s the path that I’ve chosen that’s given me this perspective of consistent awe, but through all the good, bad, and mundane, I remain in awe because wow. I am consistently on my toes, consistently. I don’t know if I would have it any other way because I do like to stay stimulated.

Thank you for subscribing to MURLIN TV, I hope you enjoy the behind the scenes content, Voyeur’s 3D GAZE (Feels good to be getting back into classic photography), and more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENTRY 5

A lot has happened in one month. A lot. This year has been one for the books. When the year first started, I was wildly optimistic and even on social media, people were mentioning “2024 is feeling like another 2016”. I was excited because 2016 was a fantastic year for me, at least the very first half. 2024 started off promising, but then it kept going places I just did not expect or couldn’t predict. This year was a year for character development because I am not the same person that I was even two months ago. When the time is right, I will document this time through an artistic lens because when I do decide to share the stories, I want a bit of distance for better perspective.

ENTRY 4

So, for a while now, more than five years at this point, I’ve been living on my own. Living on my own in the sense that I haven’t had any proper friendships or relationships. I see people daily, converse daily, but the conversations stop at a point. It’s not that I don’t want to make any friendships or relationships, I just don’t feel like I found my people as of yet. I believe myself to be an extrovert, though sometimes shy, people energize me. I used to have a lot of friends, but I had to stop being friends with them because they weren’t seeing me how I wanted to be seeing, this goes for family as well. In the past posts where I advocate, I speak a lot about how other people’s perceptions can become your own if you’re not careful enough and this is exactly why I decided to go at it alone for however long. If I had kept my “friends” or listened to my family, I do not believe I would come this far in my work, confidence, and abilities. Five years ago, I decided to teach myself how to sing, my whole family tried to convince me to stop when I would post my singing on the internet, even distant friends tried to tell me subliminally to stop, but I expected it, so I brushed it off. If I had listened to them, my singing voice would not have improved the way it has, my ideas would not be as potent, and I would be less confident.

I’m thankful I did fashion photography so young because when I first started in high school, a lot of people would say “I don’t know why he keeps posting those pictures, he’s not even that good.” I didn’t listen then, but it did hurt. I feel like going through that experience initially prepared me for when I would decide to teach myself other things and I’d have to suck in the beginning. But anyway, for a long time, I thought it was normal for friends / family to not necessarily support you, I tried to convince myself that my career and art are something separate from my personal life, which it can be, but I’m learning that the people in my life should be able to support me in the thing I dedicate my life to.
