Recent microblog: (06.12.26) Today, I went to a wildlife preserve beach. I'd missed the feeling of the hot wind blowing over me, the sand falling out from under me as the tide goes out.There were shorebirds of all sorts, turtles and toirtoses, and some very(very) small fish.
coming to you live from Souvlaki Space Station, and proudly hosted on Neocities, you can call me Safranek (sah-frah-nik).
I love reading, medieval art, visiting museums, david lynch movies, making playlists,etc.
this website is extremely unfinished. It is not optimized for anything, and probably not too well functioning on anything other than a laptop or desktop.
I code this website by hand, from scratch, and self-taught. It may seem bare-bones, but this is just how I like it, I never could keep up with a flashy or cute website, as much as I love them. I hope others can appreciate its simplicity.

Thinking about the website recently. Bayou has been up for over a year now, and it's changed a lot. I've had a lot of websites on Neocities, but bayou has probably been my longest lasting an most 'me' site out of all of them. Most of the sites I've had I only actively updated for a few months, the only other one on the level of Bayou was my first (which I was actively updating for about a year or two).
I had a lot of flashy layouts, and while they were all really cute— they weren't me, and they weren't something I could maintain. The first variation of Bayou was my first venture into having a site where I didn't worry about how pretty it looked. I focused on learning css and alignment, rather than graphics and aesthetics (nothing against those cute lace-y pink sites, I love those just as much as the next person, I bet they take a lot of effort to code too). I wanted a site that was easy for me to maintain, and felt like a better representation of myself. Bayou was a blank canvas, I started focusing more on writing, and the text I had on my website— what I was trying to say. Now, with Bayou (the current version) I think it's become a good look into who I am. It lets me be simple, I don't have to show off anything. I can enjoy my simple hobbies, and without having to feel pressed about having pretty code and the perfect layout. As long as it works that's really all I need.
I got a coffee.
"Well, skin is near the top and I love the textures of a factory.
I love smoke in the sky,
and I love oil
in the dirt.
And I like wire,
and I like broken glass,
and I like sweat
and pistols.
I like a little bit of
blood and saliva
on concrete.
I like cars and exhaust
and, I don't know,
ten million different things".
