Welcome to the Shit Show
Hey y’all,
Welcome to my brand spanking new website. If you’re looking for my portfolio or my design site— this ain’t it. But I’m glad y’all stopped by for a visit and I hope you enjoy your time here.
I’m not a big fan of social media. I hate that shit. But as I get older I feel worse and worse about not sharing things with the people I care about the most. I also know that I’m shit about keeping in touch. I always have been and I want to work on it. I’m way past realizing how important it is and I’m at the point where I really want to change it. And I want to change it for our kiddos and my family back home who I’ve spent far too little time with over the past two decades. I think this will be a good way to avoid socials and still streamline the sharing process.
The goal here is to build a platform where I can share things with family, friends, and whoever stumbles upon this site. I want share our experiences without plastering my life on socials and leaving it up to the fucking algorithm. If people come here it’ll be because they want to. Those are the folks I want here. But I know that these days, social media’s unavoidable. I fought it too long with Sessions Design Co. and I’ve realized that it’s a necessary evil if I want people to see my work. I’m not stupid enough to think the same isn’t true about this site either so don’t judge me too fucking harshly if I post little reminders about my little side project on the socials.
I also created this site because I felt like I needed a place where I could be myself. I need a space where I can express myself and be authentic. Where Chuck can be Chuck and not give a fuck. So I decided to make my own space where I can do that. I can’t really do that in my day-to-day life where we live. The compound we live in is like living in a hodge-podge of the Pleasantville, Stepford Wives, The Truman Show, and the intro to Weeds with “LIttle Boxes” as its anthem. It can be suffocating at times and as I’m writing this, I’m realizing it’s probably a bit stifling to the creative process too. But it's a still an amazing, diverse place to raise a family. Either way, this is my bubble and I'll share it however the hell I want.
Welcome to the shit show.
Cheers.
