VLOG | Snippets of Summer | Introvert Diaries | gay pride, 4th of july, brunch, dusk, bbq, roof top parties, knitting
/// monthly series maybe
/// this is how i've decided to share my goings-on without #oversharing or feeling the need to cultivate a narrative
/// we don't overshare over here
/// this is to be easily digestible while quickly showing who and how i am and what i like and do
i exported this in cinema 21:9 aspect. it is to be taken in as an exhibit that you are visiting
i tend to shoot a lot of random b-roll clips but I never record a voiceover for them and i never want to add music because i like silence. that is what this is. i want to put my phone down more this year.
[ snippets by yola / less is more series (#)1 ]

Original title: Being Too Poor to have Cable and waiting for Re-runs
- A clip from this video: [VLOGMAS - Day Seven | That Golden Hour] from last year’s Vlogmas series that I did on my B-sides channel.
- Just me discussing streaming networks giving us demands for when we can watch things now. As opposed to my childhood when I had to wait for anything I enjoyed to re-air. I was much more patient then. Life was slower and better then. It’s too damn fast for me now.
** edit: this is a link instead of a video b/c apparently youtube or tumblr doesn’t allow clips to be shared between the two of them anymore....idk...i’ve done it twice before and i can’t now so whatever, enjoy **

8.12.20 - Part I
What is one thing (or a few) that you have learned to let go of this year?
Pleasing. I don't care anymore about the satisfaction of others. I'm just gonna be myself. If you don't like it then you don't like me, and Maya told me that when people show you who they are, believe them. If you don't like what I'm doing or not doing then you don't like me and that's fine.
I know now, you know now.
We can stop pretending or trying to please. People too often treat each other like they're on an interview..."Oh I have to put my best foot forward and present myself this way or they won't like me or they won't think I'm cool". It's better to be yourself and realize that they never liked you or you them to begin with. They liked the idea of you, or their perception of how they saw themselves in you. I don't want to be that, and I don't want anyone to be that way with me. So I'm done pleasing. I'm done formatting, formulating and morphing myself into whomever you want me to be or think I am.
I am who I am. Period. I'm not here to please you.

How Jordan Peele brought me back to OutKast on Christmas Day | yolaresa ...
What I'm listening to | January Favorites: Music Edition
///// A true story.
I'm talking about music again. My journey back to #OutKast on Christmas day because of #JordanPeele.
The shortest video I've done in a loooong time. Another obsession video, haven't done one of these in years. Getting back to my old self.
I think I was just too young to appreciate OutKast until now.
Previously, the only song from Speakerboxx/The Love Below that I listened to was Hey Ya. Isn't that a travesty? Also, Big Boi looks like Diddy, go watch "The Whole World" video, they resemble. And Andre has never done a video where wasn't shirtless at some part of it. I appreciate him.
I'll be seeing and reviewing Us too. I love Key & Peele now. Never paid much attention to them in previous years. I'm trying to be less oblivious to the world around me.
Everything here is truth.

October 31, 2013 – Shelved
March 17, 2019 – Started Reading
March 27, 2019 – page 74 72.55% "This play is exceptional and quotable. It's brilliantly written I can feel the performances bleeding on the pages. These words and their compositions are simply incredible. I want this adapted on film and I want to play every female character. They are all complex, difficult, diverse women with differing behaviors. It's great. Ruined is honest and blunt. I love it."
April 30, 2019 – Finished Reading
Such a beautiful play, so sad and poetic.
So brilliant in writing and storytelling.
So powerful in story and realism.
So broken down and well established.
So true and so inspiring.
Literature done well and well thought-out.
Literature that needs to exist.
A point-of-view that is often overlooked or not thought of.
A rare perspective.
A primitive tale.
I will remember this forever.
It's so subtle yet dramatic.
I am floored.
I read this, really, in 3 full sittings, not over a month. I had to put it on hold 3 times lol.

A poem?....short story.
She was around the way, my father saw
her before I
He asked, "do you want to talk to her?"
the boy replied, "no I don't know her"
"but you look to her with longing as if you do"
his father said.
A beat. His chin falls to his chest in shame
"I hurt her" He says.
She spots him. Walks to the car.
As his father rolls down the window,
The boy evaporates the vehicle, makes
himself scarce, she notices, chasing him
Pushing him through the bushes, they
collapse onto each other
From afar his father yells.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry” the boy gasps
trying to free her grip.
She lets go. They stare. They stare.
They stare for what seems, to them,
ages.
His father approaches, confused and dismayed
by the two children covered in dirt and
grass focused on each other with deepened
eyes
like two foreign lovers who'd been apart for years
struggling to breathe but somehow at ease with one another
A beat.
The father touches his sons shoulder
"come now". The boy doesn't move.
She begins to cry. A sound is not made.
Tears fall as her breath is calm, still, and
her focus does not falter.

A poem
Sometimes I forget, constantly in need
of reminders, you are not the only one
you are not that special
It’s okay to feel how you feel
It’s okay to hold things in, but a reminder,
you are not the only one,
She is not so different from you, nor you
from her, common ground isn’t susceptible
Those thoughts you hold, hold you…….back
Freeing yourself isn’t always vulnerability
it can be framed as strength
A closed mouth can be considered a weak
one, but a closed mind is linoleum

3.11.2019 -- Savoring Daylight
Just like everyone's number one conversation starter in an elevator or any awkward moment between two or more people in a social setting, people always say "how about the weather?".
Well, the weather was pretty great today. I did only enjoy it for about 30 minutes walking to and from work which, today, luckily, was walking distance from home being on 8th and 48th -- this is not usually the case.
On this March 11th, in New York City's Manhattan it wasn't cold nor warm. It wasn't windy nor chilly, or even super sunny. It was calm and cloudy. You couldn't hear the weather, which is always good in my book. My ideal weather and favorite season is Autumn: 65 to 75 degrees, "light jacket" weather where I can wear either that or a hoodie, boots and even a hat with loose pants, jeans, or leggings.
Right now at this 6:53pm the weather is perfect. It's my favorite time of day. Dusk, or twilight, or sunset. As a self-proclaimed "celestial sucker" this time of day has many names. The sun is setting -- but really the Earth is moving and another part of the world is getting the sun right now...I believe Asia -- and it's making the sky those beautiful colors that I always remember Cameron Diaz in The Mask saying to Jim Carrey's character, Ipkiss, "all those pinks and greens". The sky right now is pink and purple and orange and of course blue. It has that beautiful royal blue in the wee hours of the morning around 6am that also come to mind at this time.
I get why people say "talk about the weather" when you don't know what to say to someone or if you need a quick conversation starter to get out of an awkward situation. It's a broad topic, or at least it can be, if the other person is willing to listen to all the things you can say about it. 'You' meaning me, because as a self-proclaimed "celestial sucker" I can talk about what the sky is doing forever. It is, after all, endless. I think about it everyday, and as long as you can think about something you can talk about it and you can definitely -- as per this essay -- write about it.
I find the weather and what the sky does very inspiring and even moving. Get it? The sky moves, the Earth moves. It's moving...anyway.
Looking outside my 19th floor living and bedroom large Hell's Kitchen windows and seeing the sun setting everyday over the Hudson River passed the Lincoln Tunnel over -- what I assume to be the Hoboken, New Jersey skyline -- is always a dream to me. It's like watching a dance. Ha! I am in fact such a "lame introvert" that I make sure I'm home at this time just to watch it daily. Today's weather was wonderful, and it has, yet again, provided another beautiful Dusk, Twilight, Sunset that filled the sky with those incredible "pinks and greens", but instead swapping the greens with oranges, and reminded me of Autumn, in the middle of a month which is in the middle of Winter and Spring, one day after we have daylight savings back.
