Holiday magic
December 30th, 2024 - where did it go?
Unfortunately, Christmas season just doesn't hit the same that it did before. I know fully 100% that being an adult has sorta diminished the magic a little bit. Now that I'm typing this up, it just feels like things in general, has lost their magic. Did parents experience this too when I was growing up? Or is it actually just the state the world is in right now?
Occasionally, I do get these moments where something feels "magical". Recently I installed Windows XP onto my former main PC, since it has the hardware support of it, and listening to my personal music collection I've had since 2012 was super nostalgic. My first PC was a Dell Demension that used to be the family computer. I spent a lot of time on it, trying to play emulators, downloading music, jailbreaking iPod. Seeing the bliss wallpaper and experiencing Windows XP as an operating system is honestly so comforting.
I guess I'm more or less, blinded by nostalgia. I wish I could experience some of these feelings again. I both love and hate nostalgia
this website, and what it means
December 26th, 2024 - doing other things
Building this website has been an interesting journey of creative expression. I've never really built a website before, so this is a completely new experience for me. I've been really looking forward to learning as much as I can to build a cool interactive center for my music and art. It's actually been something I've needed. I've never really been too satisfied about using various social media platforms. They just don't strike me as personalable or friendly.
There's something so satisfying about placing html tags in a document and watching it appear. I've always been somewhat interested in software and tech, but never found the thing that stuck for me. While this website stuff isn't software... It feels homey
I suppose the message I want to say is, perhaps the thing you're looking for is just around the corner. You might not see it right away, but if you keep going, you're bound to find it!
an interesting christmas tradition
December 24th, 2024 - "christmas morning"
When I was a kid our Christmas tradition was fairly interesting, and I didn't realize until it was pointed out to me by my partner. "Christmas morning" to me had a completely different meaning to it.
For whatever reason, instead of going to sleep Christmas Eve night, then waking up on Christmas in the morning to open presents, we would actually pull and all nighter and stay up and open the presents at midnight on Christmas! Yes that's right! We would eat dinner on the 24th, stay up until 00:00 on the 25th, and THAT'S when we would open up presents. It was super cool because, opening presets in the dead of the night with the light of the chirstmas tree was such a vibe.
It was one of the few times I was actually allowed to stay up much later than my normal curfew. As the night closed some of my family members would start to go to bed and I was usually one of the last ones to go to sleep, usually probably playing a new game I had just recieved.
Maybe try it out this year, it definitely feels different! I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
a new website!
December 23rd, 2024 - this is where the subtitle goes
Today is december 23rd, 2024, and I suppose this is my first post on my website? I got a cool navigation bar at the top, which doesn't really work right now of course, but at least I've gotten it to a point where I can type stuff here! Also, this extra bit here is just to test the text wrapping stuff.
If you don't know who I am, my name is Revoltyx! I'm 25 years old, I mostly make music, but I'm trying to dive into other creative works as well.
You can check out my music in the links below. Thank you for checking out my page and stay tuned for more!
