Before I get into what I’m working on, here’s a quick recap of the last year for me:

I started a Youtube channel. I left the job I had for 3 years for a new job at a marketing company. I stopped posting to Youtube. I quit my new job after a little less than 3 months. I applied to adopt a dog. I started freelancing full time. I got a job at a pizza place because freelancing is hard. I adopted a dog. I started dating the girl of my dreams. I became a full-time photo assistant. I quit the pizza job. The girl of my dreams became my girlfriend. I stopped getting full time assistant work. I went back to the pizza job. My girlfriend moved in with me. I quit the pizza job again. We moved to Hamilton. I was offered to go back to that job I previously had for 3 years. I took it.

Now I live in Hamilton, with my girlfriend Lindsay and our dog Lucy. I work remotely for a company called Format (again) and I’m still doing freelance photo & video work 3 days a week. With camping and road trip season upon us, expect to see a lot more posts on this blog.

You may have (or likely have not) noticed that I’ve been posting a lot of new content lately. This is the realization of a project I dreamed up in the fall when my freelance and assisting work was slowing down. I want to be putting out content of some sort every day for a year. The idea was to keep myself busy, hone my skills and make a lot of work that has otherwise lived in my notebooks for years. I wanted to take all of these ideas I’ve written down and see them come to fruition.

With that said, I started making content for this at the beginning of the year and as you can see from my blog history, that lasted for all of a week before I realized that I needed a lot more planning, a somewhat prepared content schedule and a whole lot of time. Here we are, summer approaching and I’ve finally started posting every day. This will include all different forms of media and will constantly be evolving. For now, it will mostly be photos, articles and playlists but I can tell you that there is both audio projects and video projects on the way.

With that said, today’s post is both an update and the release of my first playlist called JEEP SLEEP

I feel like the name of the playlist is self explanatory but in short, this is a bunch of songs that I like to play when I’m on a road trip and have parked the Jeep somewhere so I can get to sleep for the night.

I’ve added to this on and off over the past year or so and I feel like it’s a pretty great mix for star gazing, car camping or rainy days. It’s a lot of my all time favourites that might be a tad depressing but will definitely make your eyelids heavy.
