Updating Kofi- Life Rant

I PLAN TO WRITE DAILY. This is blog #3 on January 4th 2022! I didn’t sleep yesterday. I was in work mode! I spent all night, and a bit of the early morning, working on projects. I’m listening to Sad and Dark Piano music while I write this entry.

I UPDATED MY KOFI PAGE. I spent all night trying to connect my Paypal account to open a shop and add tiers to my Kofi shop. I’ve spent the last few days trying to connect Paypal, and it’s always down, giving me errors or just not loading. It’s frustrating. But I finally got it to work! I added a few tiers (Whim Tier and Muse Tier), sketched out some icons for those tiers, and added one image to the shop!

I needed to wake up at 6am today to bring my wife to work, but I didn’t sleep. I was busy trying to get the Kofi page up and running! I still have a lot to add, but it’s coming together.

I FINISHED A DRAWING. I don’t think I’ve drawn anything for the last few months? It’s just an icon for the Whim Tier, but it’s something! I’m kind of happy with how it turned out? I’m not so keen on the colors, and I tried to add a mirror shine to the icon. Not sure how it turned out. For me? I’m okay with it. But I shouldn’t obsess. I just need to get my work up and running!

I slept for a bit after dropping my wife off, and my babies took a nap as well. I pretty much just picked her up from work at 4pm, headed home, ate, and I continued drawing and finishing up the Whim Tier icon. I added it to the coffee page. I plan to work on the Muse Tier icon tomorrow. Although, I’m still debating if I should have tiers at all? I want to use Kofi like Patreon, but I wonder if I can pump out enough content that it will be worth it to someone to support me in that way. We’ll see.

I FINISHED MATRIX IV. I took a break from working on Kofi and finished Matrix IV. I was digging it! Up to the middle, I was seriously on board. But? Well, spoilers are ahead!!! That ending fell flat for me. I don’t understand why Smith was strong enough to walk through the Analyst’s ability to slow time? And I wish that Neo had a better pose cause he kept spamming that bullet-stopping ability like crazy! And when Trinity jumped off the building and started floating… couldn’t they have had her drop into a better pose? She literally just floated there like she was stuck to a harness. No dynamic pose or grace. Maybe a slick slo-mo into a glide? Some finesse? Anything? It was clunky.

The other thing that irked me about this Matrix is that I never felt like they were in any danger. And I don’t think a single main character died? I never felt (except for the last bit with the helicopters on the roof) like anyone was in real danger. During the chase scene, in the end, I thought that one of the cars would have at least blown up, and we’d lose a few characters. But nothing. Did it feel really cartoony? There was also never any blow back for the rogue machines, they were just kind of there, infuriating and breaking stuff.

Maybe it was a budget thing, but after the Agents and the ghost likes creatures that the Merovingian had, I was hoping for another set of enemies that were just as intriguing. But no. It was just an army of ordinary people running around. And I hated the design of the Exiles. It’s like they gave up and just said, let’s throw some tattered trash on them. That should be cool? And when they started turning the people into dive bombs, I was so done with the movie.

Then, when Trinity got her powers? How the hell did that happen? I was like, oh, that was out of nowhere. Cool, I guess? Oh, she’s stronger than Neo, because, reasons? She can just kick the jaw off the Analyst with no repercussions? How the fu**? Where did the Analysts time-stopping powers go? I don’t know. That whole ending killed it for me.
