i see the world
no one else sees it for me
…well then. it’s been three whole months, hasn’t it? it has been exactly 83 days since i wrote my last post of the ’23 school year. and now it’s 284 days until i do it again. strange, innit?
i’m currently writing in the cafeteria. it’s been a while since i’ve been here, and i don’t think i missed it. questionable food, cold air, and loud people. i’d expect this from a bar, not here.
of course, that’s not what i want to focus on today. right now, i feel like talking about some things i learned over the summer. maybe you’ll be interested! (read: this is totally just a link dump 0_o)

so. it’s almost summer break. i may look inactive, but i’m currently writing a countdown for the last week of school. that’s write baby (pun)
but you goblins need content now. so here’s your content.
it’s weird to think that school’s almost over. how many of you remember the first day? week? month? how many of you remember that test you aced? how about the one you failed? how many of you can say they know what happened this year?
in this day and age, how many of us have slowed down? it’s almost impossible with assignment after test after assignment. how many of us have taken time to engage in our passions? we don’t have money. don’t have cars, don’t have time.
until we do.
but when will that be? only a few of us have jobs. only a few of us have permits. and time’s coming like a freight truck.
but how about time? time moves on and on and on forever taking us from a certain past to the uncertain future.
the amount of possibilities every day should stagger the mind. the sheer number of things i could do at any moment is impossible. and i’m sitting here refreshing my inbox. we relive the same few days over and over. when did we forget our dreams? we act as if we get through today our dreams will come back tomorrow.
and no, i don’t have all the answers. i don’t know how to start seeing what could be. but i do know that watering down life’s experience, watering down every little idea and thought to fit the mold isn’t it.
let me pull you aside for a moment. take wrong turns. talk to strangers. open unmarked doors. you are curious, you are smart, you are bored. all you can see right now is a choice between slacking off and working hard. there are so many tiny interesting choices that we could all make and we can’t because we just want to get to tomorrow.
something tells me that you’re never gonna stop
until you get what you want

funny story. yknow how ticketmaster was in deep after the taylor swift concert? a lot of outrage about the failure to provide services and the inane junk fees. well, it’s not just ticketmaster. ever heard of booz allen?

you should PROTECT yourself
i hold on to something strong ’cause i’m about to fall
leaning tower of pisa’s got nothing on me you know
hey remember the EARN IT act? how much of a problem that was? well it’s happening again. with the brand new PROTECT act (senate bill 686) the government isn’t just coming for tiktok, they’re coming for you.

everyday you loved me less
each day i loved you more
so spring break’s over. and i don’t know how to feel. like, the break was nice and all. but i have a problem. i… don’t feel like i did it right.
“oh lucas how can you vacation wrong” i don’t feel fulfilled. i feel like i wasted the whole thing, wasting what little time i had. i didn’t go anywhere, didn’t really do anything. and all i can think about is how the next major break is summer break.
we’ve 47 days of school left. i pray for the strength to get through this.
hitchhiker’s guide
don’t panic.
i’m writing a little guide to the delightful high school we’re all legally required to cope with. it’s a blog post that will take the next 3 1/2 years to finish. it’ll include notes on the building, the teachers, and more. a real shame then, that we’ll all be off to college or work somewhere before we can use it. ah well, history for history’s sake is a noble cause. my hitchhiker’s guide, coming the summer of 2026.
i feel alive
the Consumers Electronics Show is a massive event hosted every year in las vegas. i really want to go there. a few asterisks.
one – you have to be 18 or older. that’ll just happen.
two – it’s a trade show, so you have to have a connection to the industry.
three – did you know that if you are getting 75 thousand monthly views on tiktok that you can get a press pass with benefits to CES?
bonus – did you know that E3 is quite open to social media influencers?
that’s right. i’m doing this.
soon, i’m going to start a tiktok channel with the express goal of getting enough people following me to make it to E3 and CES. that’s it. i’ll post tech videos and have fun. maybe even learn a thing or two. sponsorships? nah. boring. pretty sure i couldn’t sign a legal contract with a corporation until 18 anyways. wish me luck 🙂
