Misguided people attack participation trophies. I think back on all the youth trophies I got and the time I sold them all to some kid at a yard sale. Was worth it just to see that kid smile while also reinforcing the fact that capitalism devalues us all.

To Colorado & New Album

Posted by Quarl - December 7th, 2020


I'm sorry, this blog is not yet wheel chair accessible. To make it easier for everyone else I have tabulated an index for your convenience.


Section I. New Album [Almost Orgasmic]

Section II. Moving To Colorado

Section III. Cyberdevil Collab

Section IV. Geometry Dash

Section V. tldr


Section I.

I always pine to write new albums. I've lost a few to the ages and have no interest in reviving them. This was a particularly good year though so this album got crammed together quickly for the holiday season. I guess I'm trying to recoup my funds for all the Christmas socks I bought people. If you can't afford the album you can always just download things for free here on newgrounds. You're welcome :)


I've updated most the song files on newgrounds to correspond to the album versions. I think the biggest change is with Written Reminder, losing the DNB section towards the end. I'm debating if that was smart or not, shrugs. The cover art was almost this bullshit. Lucky I remembered this old illustration from 2016 and used it instead. Visual arts don't come to me as intuitively as they used to. Maybe in 2021 I'll slow down the music and focus on some digital drawings again :)


Almost forgot, I fixed the shipping cost on hard copies for 2Q4U. I have no idea how I got that messed up, shipping was $10 so people were paying $20 for paper CD cases. I was tossing in an extra album and drawings to try to compensate for the cost. Hardcopies from now on will probably not come with drawings.


Section II.

This one is taking up all my real time. Tom and I just got back from a cross country drive. We rented a moving truck from Budget, drove it from Rising Fawm Goergia to Dolores Colorado, and flew home. We got a ton of our toys out there. We moved two motorcycles, an astronomy dome, a drum kit, hang gliders, paragliders, a paramotor, furnature, a cat tower, and some other things. The house is a tiny cabin on top of 35 acres, altitude approx 8,600 ft. We're gonna build a large garage for a backhoe tractor, three cars, two motorcycles, and three cisterns. We're also getting two sheds for work offices. Power moves, Tom has put together plans for a large solar array. The house is already off grid but runs on propane.


Section III.

This came out of nowhere. I was going to move on from this project file and leave it unfinished but Cyberdevil asked about rapping on something. I tossed him the file to see what he could put on top of it and the rest was history. Took me forever to mix and master the final version though. Was playing Genshin Impact in my free time instead of making history. Sorry about that.


Section IV.

Just thought to go through my albums and make all the songs available for use in Geometry Dash. It's a nuerotic chore to go back and change everything so if you're into this kind of thing, let me know if I missed any. I can change any old tracks GD status. Huzzah!


Section V.

tldr, I had a crack baby. My cat got AIDs. My boyfriend is two kids in a Tom suit supporting one another.

That first cover wasn't all bad lmao! XD Though must say the new does suit the theme and music somewhat more properly. Awesome in different ways though...

Colorado land... I thought you were already there but that earlier post was just a precursor huh. Sounds awesome. So many awesome accessories too! How long you been riding motorcycles? Who started first? How did that astronomy dome come to be? So many questions...

Happy that collab turned up too. :) And that album sounds awesome.

And wait what, cat got AIDs?! Ah. Right. dr

Honestly, I don't ride motorcycles. They're Tom's but I want to learn so I can go dirt biking with my brother. Tom's also the astronomy dome person. I posted about it here a year or two back. We had it set up in Tennessee than sold that property and moved to Georgia. The dome itself houses a super dank camera for astrophotography.

Gotta go dig through old posts hmm... haven't tried any type of petrol-powered two-wheel vehicle myself but it seems fun. Dangerous too of course but assumably all the more adrenaline-inducing because of it... some day I too shall try some! In controlled environments. Way out in the wilderness. Would be fun. :)

Nice. You've been moving around a lot too. Any places with a similarly generous allotment of land before this? Seemed like it might be a real city > country move this one.

Soooo I grew up on Long Island with a father in real estate and a mom in landscaping. She changed career paths and found personal training lucrative. It was a pretty wealthy area. You can make $100 an hour baby sitting spoiled rich kids out there. My parents were constantly flipping houses. We'd rent our home out in the summer, rent a cheap place, and turn a profit.

My hometown East Hampton has a huge respect for the natural surrounding nature. It's so beautiful out there. Lots of wooded reserve, beautiful beaches, insane landscaping. It was nice to drive to the ocean on stormy days. Oakland on the otherhand was cramped, poverty living. I hated leaving my apartment, it was so dangerous. I made a friend outside San Francisco in Halfmoon Bay. I'd drive out once a month to just unwind and sit by the beach. The drive along route 1 is picturesque. Half moon bay is a small afluent neighborhood by a beach in-between two penninsulas.

Nature is a super important part of my life and it's necessary to get outside every now and then.

Wooah, who knew the babysitting biz would be that lucrative! :O Unfortunately not the right business for a 30 y/o male as myself now, might seem somewhat shady...

You paint a vivid picture of the green scenery! The soothing blue hues of the soft sea, of times both lavish and calloused and costly... sounds both awesome but possibly kinda stressful growing up like that. Open areas but no one place to call home either. We moved around a lot too but not for profit, Ericsson technicians toured the world back in the day with humble pay, but we've always had a sort of safe house in Sweden to get back to over summers. Free wilderness.

Could imagine working in a similar field. Nature's definitely a haven; an imperative kind of grounding/calming/perspective-altering foundation for life...
