bookmark_borderDrawing: Save the Savages

Sat 5/30/26
Whenever you enter the room, I forget about everyone else
Our fiery souls reunite in secret where everyone is watching yet completely unaware.
And yet they sense there is a familiarity between us, an undeniable chemistry that hasn’t gone away.
The devil has bound the occult lovers once again.

bookmark_border05/29/26 Mood Gif: Born to Create, Forced to Work

Gosh, scrolling through Instagram I feel so weird right now. I want to start posting again, but everyone’s posts are so goddamned good and I feel intimidated. I shouldn’t be and yet I kinda am. So I guess I’ll just post over here until I feel confident again. People who follow me on that particular account aren’t down with AI too much so everything I post needs to be handmade digitally and somewhat original. It’s understandable as a lot of them are artists.

Just remember – AI is a tool, just like a pencil or a pen. It really can’t do anything without your input. Although I like it for some things, I don’t rely on it entirely unless I’m at work. Another reason why I just talk about it here because again, my Instagram followers will probably shame me for using it.

Anyways, here is the original drawing done inside my Many Moons journal today, Friday May 29 2026. Don’t get it twisted – I am lucky as fuck to work where I work. This is not a complaint but more like a commentary on people like me who have to work but would rather create just because we’re wired to. At the same time, my job supports what I do. If I had no job, then I’d probably be stressing about not having a job and money and because of the stress I probably won’t be creating anything so it’s a double edge sword that I’ve learn to live with.

bookmark_borderDrawing: Congrats, You Didn’t Die!

Just a quick morbid motivational drawing from 2023, Idk what I did this for…maybe one of those Halloween drawing prompts on Instagram.

Anyways, if you are reading this…

CONGRATS, YOU DIDN’T DIE. I AM PROUD OF YOU. GO DRINK WATER, EXERCISE OR TREAT YOURSELF TO SOMETHING HEALTHY SO YOU CAN COME BACK AND READ MY BLOG TOMORROW OKAY? LOVE YOU, WEIRDO!

My work comes out the best when I’m doing it for something or someone…in this case one of my best friends gifted me a sketchbook to fill up and mail out by a certain time. Of course whenever I have deadlines, it motivates me to create.

Title: Smile Now, Cry Later
Description: Framed 11″x14″ black & white, mixed media drawing

Saturday, May 2nd 2026: I dug up a photo of this old, framed drawing I did. I feel that it pairs well with the Raiders chola girl; as a matter of fact I think I did these two based on a black and white themed art show. Anyways, “Smile Now, Cry Later” is an oldies song, inspired by gang culture in Los Angeles in the 90’s. I have to admit, as a young artist I romanticized it a bit, even the graffiti writers took part in the subculture of tagbanging around that time. I was just the outsider looking in, observing everything around me.

Oh btw, I just realized I edited this post exactly 10 years later! OMG. Time is wild and synchronicity never ceases to amaze me.

Title: Lost in Time
Description: Framed 11″x14″ black & white, mixed media drawing

If you grew up sometime between the 1980’s and 1990’s, were influenced by gang culture and watched Mi Vida Loca, then this mixed media drawing would be the end result. This is pretty much a throwback to those times.

Echo Park wasn’t a safe place back then. I’m sort of amazed at how much the city of Los Angeles has changed, for better or for worse.

bookmark_borderDrawing: I H8 U

A fucking mood. I’ve drawn this before but I figured – it’s going to take the same amount of time for me to look for the drawing when I can just redraw it. So yes, it’s Saturday, April 25, 2026 and I still hate you. Forever. Roxy was the biggest hater and I miss her so damn much…

bookmark_borderDrawing: Do Not Worry // Apr 19, 2026

The Magickal Bunny – who only comes out once in a while these days says:

Just for today, do not worry.

Just for today, count your blessings.

You are a magickal and infinite being, here to learn in this place called Earth. Some call it Earth School.

The learning never stops – you will constantly grow, evolve, living and dying simultaneously.

Enjoy the process, magician.

Blessed be.


I could list ALL the things I’m worried about, but I choose not to. As long as I am alive – breathing, seeing, hearing, talking, feeling without any physical pain in this moment – and I can still pay my bills and provide for my cats then I am okay. If you are reading this, you are probably okay too.

bookmark_borderWTF Are You Supposed to Do For the Rest of Your Life?

We don’t know, do we? All we have to do is to just keep on going…

Who are you supposed to follow for guidance when everyone else is lost or in their own headspace most of the time?
The answer is: you follow yourself – the quiet, inner voice that tells you ‘hey I really like doing this’ or ‘let’s do this for right now and see where it goes. And then when we get bored, we’ll just move on to something else’.

You follow your interests, and build skills around it and see if that’s what you can do for a living.

If you’re not really sure, maybe you can take an aptitude test.

Besides the physical drives of needing food, water, shelter and sleep to live (and of course, sex)…what else do you think about the most? That is what you should probably be doing.

I mean sure, you can read Reddit all day long and read about other people’s experiences…
but you still gotta figure out your own life and create your own experiences.

You have to follow your inner compass. Your inner compass won’t steer you in the wrong direction and if it did, then perhaps there was something you needed to learn from that experience.

You’re going to fail and make mistakes over and over again. That’s part of life that is simply unavoidable. From that you’ll gain knowledge, wisdom and a better understanding of your process and getting to know who you really are.

Keep on learning and making stuff, be patient with yourself and it will all come together eventually.

There is a version of you waiting patiently to evolve, get to know yourself.

Even at 48 – though it may seem I have accomplished a lot, like…been there done that…I still haven’t met my full potential and I still don’t know everything. And I think it will be that way until it’s time to leave our human bodies.

bookmark_borderMessages from the Past: Don’t Trip Potato Chip

With Aries season in full effect, I was tempted to make bad decisions like panic sell and liquidate my retirement funds so it would stop bleeding. Pretty extreme and irrational, right? Well it just so happens that I got a message from the past. Here’s an old pen and highliter drawing I dug up while looking for something else.

It says: Don’t Trip Potato Chip

Also whenever I chat with AI, I normally put my daily horoscope so it gives me more accurate results that matches my mood.


The prompt:

My horoscope for today, Sunday March 22 2026. Lmk my moods and what activities would be best suited for me today instead of overthinking and having fear fantasies of panic selling:

Sun square natal Mercury
Sun trine natal Venus
Sun square natal Jupiter
Moon opposition natal Ascendant
Mars square natal Sun
Mars trine natal Uranus
Mars square natal Neptune
Jupiter trine natal Uranus
Jupiter square natal Pluto
Moon opposition natal Uranus

Long-term influences:
Saturn square natal Mercury
Saturn trine natal Venus
Saturn square natal Jupiter
Uranus square natal Saturn
Neptune trine natal Venus
Neptune square natal Jupiter

Gemini’s response:

It is completely understandable that you are feeling “restless and anxious” today; your transits are essentially a cosmic tug-of-war between a desire for security and an impulsive urge to take drastic action. With Sun square natal Mercury and Mercury square natal Neptune (as you mentioned earlier), your “financial GPS” is currently recalibrating, making it very easy to get lost in “fear fantasies”.

Here is a breakdown of your moods and the best activities to ground yourself while these transits pass:

Today’s Mood: The “Restless Visionary”

  • The Anxiety Source: Mars square natal Neptune and Mars square natal Sun are the primary drivers of your “panic selling” thoughts. This energy creates a feeling of “emergency” where none exists, often leading to impulsive moves that you might regret once the fog clears.

  • The Emotional Polarities: Moon opposition natal Ascendant and Moon opposition natal Uranus mean your emotions are reacting to external “shocks.” You might feel like the world is more unstable than it actually is today.

  • The Hidden Strength: Jupiter trine natal Uranus and Mars trine natal Uranus are actually very positive! They suggest that you have the ability to innovate and find new ways to make money—you just shouldn’t apply that energy to your existing long-term funds right now.


Best Suited Activities (Instead of Trading)

  • Creative “Gambling”: Since you have a “restless” urge to gamble, channel it into your VTube character generation or crystal shop marketing. These are areas where “starting something new” (Aries energy) is productive rather than destructive.

  • Physical Grounding: With the Moon in Taurus (as you noted), activities that involve the five senses are best. Cook a favorite Filipino meal, organize your crystal inventory, or spend time with James .

  • “Stop the Bleed” Strategy (Non-Financial): Instead of looking at your SPY gains or GLDM dips, “stop the bleed” in your home or business. Fix a tech issue with your stream, organize your 2025 receipts, or update your blog. It satisfies the urge to “fix” something without touching your retirement “fortress.”

  • Digital Escape: You mentioned lying down and playing games—this is actually a perfect Neptune transit activity. It allows your mind to wander in a safe, fictional world rather than creating “doomsday scenarios” for your real-life bank account.


Long-Term Context: The “Slow Build”

  • Saturn square natal Jupiter and Neptune square natal Jupiter are why you are obsessing over the $2 million goal . Saturn is testing your discipline. The “bleeding” you feel in GLDM is a temporary test of your patience, not a signal to abandon the plan.

  • Neptune trine natal Venus: This is a beautiful, long-term transit that supports your creative work in adult entertainment and VTube streaming. It suggests your “vision” is strong—you just have to ignore the “panic” of the squares today.

AI Peer Note: Your SPY positions in your Roth and Traditional IRAs are actually up significantly (+$10,000 combined). The “fear” is coming from the transits, not the math.

Would you like me to check when the Moon leaves Taurus and enters Gemini to see when your mental energy will shift from “worrying about money” to “communicating new ideas”?


For those who are curious and want to get technical with your occult studies while using AI, I use the Time Passages app (the Legacy version, 2.9.17). Input your birthdate, exact time you were born and city & state for accurate results and it will give you your daily horoscope. This practice is good for air heavy signs – Aquarius, Gemini & Libra.
