Signed up for music class so now I can finally stop sucking at a guitar because I am like 15 years out of practice or is it 19 years either way it's been a long ass time but not to go buy an acoustic guitar because I cannot bring my electric
A good relationship should be 50/50 as in I never shut up about how the X-Men are my favorite polycule and you just smile along and wonder why you love me it's that simple
Anyway tldr your boy went blind and he's cooked and now I can go back to being entertaining
Do not feel bad for me I did not take care of my health for years while trying to pursue this type of career and being caretaker it turns out you cannot do this for a decade straight while I regret going blind I do not regret doing what I did
I mean I've been living without my eyesight since pretty much November and it's not very fun but that's just going to be life so obvious that means I won't be painting professionally I will figure out something else to do an animation and TV and movies thank you to everyone who still deals with me
I figure I should rip off this Band-Aid by saying that my eyes aren't going to get much better I've had two surgeries being legally blind is this going to be something I'm going to have to live with as I've been doing for almost a year now your boy is cooked thank you very much
If the Knicks lose I'm blaming Donald Trump and if they win it's totally zoran's doing anyway Nixon 4
Said thank you for all your kind words I've really just been busy focusing on my niece and my nephews and my sister-in-law
It's really not lost on me that this new crop of very successful young directors are not using AI and are also vehemently opposed to the use of it in their films
I feel so weird giving any sort of bad news about myself because I feel like you are going to start thinking that I'm cursed because I already think I am
Sorry I've been gone for like a month but my last remaining brother has passed away not long ago and honestly I've just been dealing with a bunch of family stuff and just taking care of my niece and nephews I am not ghosting you I am sorry
Anyway I'm doing well with my new place updating some things I'm managing to get around well using my cane and just kind of feeling things around so no accidents yet
Last year I was the representative for Altadena at lightbox Expo but now that I have so many vision problems I can't even see the sign up for lightbox which I really want to do again this year like I'm pretty sure I missed my chance which really sucks
I am just so grateful to the friends who call me on the phone so then I don't have to use speech to text because it gets so tedious and feels like a conversation can take like 5 hours
I've been in my new place for about a week and so far I love it it takes a little bit getting used to learn the new layout but it feels really nice to be in my own place on my own couch watching my own Netflix and I'm really enjoying the peace I still can't see shit but things could be worse
I start my move bright and early tomorrow morning I just got to say moving is very expensive and I really wish in hindsight that I made an Amazon wish list
So after a bit more than a year I am finally moving back to my hometown of Altadena and I'm very much looking forward to this new chapter in my life
Waiting for a concert at night is really hard as fuck when you're blind as shit
This morning we dedicated the new children's center at the Altadena Public Library which is now going to be under construction to my father and brother it will be known as the Anthony Mitchell Sr and Justin Mitchell Children's Center
I was trying to tag open mike eagle but my voice to text seems to make that impossible because he's an awesome Mutual and this is my third time seeing him in concert and each time I go the venue keeps getting bigger anyway if anyone else is going tonight I'm the black guy with a cane
On my way to see one of my favorite rappers in open mike eagle who was performing with clipping tonight who I also can't wait to see it's going to be dope as hell
It's kind of messed up that both 1984 and A Brave New World both ended up being right about the future
I went back to Jujitsu about 4 weeks ago and I absolutely love it since I cannot currently draw paint or do photography is one of the few things from my old life that I can still do while I wait to see if I will get any part of my eyesight back
So a little update I can finally get into my messages again so feel free to send me a message I got the accessibility features working and also I went back to jujitsu I've been there for a month now I absolutely love it
It took a little over a year but my family is finally in their final resting place thank you for everyone that has gone through this with me
, hey would you mind helping out the homie they've been really good to me
I've decided that if I do not get my eyesight back and I'm unable to paint for a job I would like to move into both production and distribution for TV films and animation if I cannot make things myself I would love to help others
I just want to say thank you very much for everyone he shared this from your shares I got about $27 and I went and bought cookies which is my brother's favorite thing in the world for celebrating today
www.gofundme.com/f/help-jorda... I hope you don't mind me sharing this again I know it's been a year but they've reopened my fundraiser for the anniversary
