the college sweetheart

Noel Unlisted 

Recorded on September 19, 2022 in Baguio City. 

I recently relocated 250km north to a  cooler city, away from both my son (8), and my dad (86) who are also 40km apart from each other and they haven't seen each other in more than a year. It's been tough since the separation and lockdowns, and a lot of readjusting. I'm here because of my mom's medical condition. In this recording, among other things, I discuss a personal video project I'll be working on real soon. 

Here's the video

Right, so I had a technical exercise I wanted to perform on this recording by turning a stereo file into mono. I did some research on it the day before and I found a video that I hadn’t come across before. Most tutorials go into the Inspector and but either I couldn’t see the same drop downs as int he tutorial, possibly because I’m working on a synchronized clip and not the actual source clip. I tried it, finding the drop down, and although it might just come out the same, I much prefer the recent workflow because it’s less clicks and there’s no need to adjust the volume. Overall it sounds the same, maybe looks the same on the audio monitor, but it seems slightly neater judging by the wave forms and the inspector. So I’m quite happy with my accomplishment and will most likely use these settings again as I was able to save it as a preset as a limiter with direction mixer from stereo to mono.

Anyway, I was able to rant about my current status on depression, so it’s called, I argue about how that may most likely be inaccurate, but mostly I explain here why I choose to post these as unlisted; it isn’t “pushed out” or promoted publicly, you’ll have do dig through it on my YouTube channel or be on Anchor or Spotify to actually “discover it” randomly. The only person I’m really hoping to discover it is my son, if he’s interested, he knows my name, or family members that might be curious. Otherwise, in a long winded way, I was saying that it’s not for everyone and anyone to stumble upon, but if they’re interested it’s flattering but not imposed.

I also go on to say that what you discover is one thing, but what you do about it is “on you,” as in your responsibility. I would hope of course that you would take care of it as it were your own because it’s quite private or sensitive. Anyway, I put it out there, nobody twisted my arm, and I worry about future employers or business partners that might discover it but, how do I say it, it is what it is. I’m just happy to be able to do it technically, I find joy in doing it, making the product, but truthfully I would rather not be talking about myself or at least not in these circumstances. But it’s what I’ve got, I have to be true to myself, and hopefully soon enough I will be able to “get over it” and graduate or evolve into another topic, but for now this is where I am, this is my starting point (unfortunately?) But without judgement. It is what it ism just a matter of fact. And facing that fact or reality is part of my process, and I’m here to own it.

I'm still going through some rough and heavy lifting, forgive and be patient with me on this one, but I try to get to some solutions at the end. I go through some life categories to just let it out of my system. I wish I could rush my process but the more I do the more I keep going back to the beginning and starting over. It gets better every time, but I'm not always too sure. Just thinking out loud and going through some notes here, and as embarrassing as it is to admit that this is where I am--this is where I am. I wish it were different.

Hoping the next recordings won't be as heavy hearted anymore. But I just had to lay it out on the table again today.

I didn't bother to continue the session. I wasn't able to make time during the day and didn't want to make a video of it either. I will recording the second part but audio only.

When I first started riding the motorcycle and trying out recording the podcast with a mic on my helmet around 2021, I called the series and channel “Long Ride Home”, hence, the acronym LRH, and I didn’t rename the episodes from the file names to keep it simple when uploading, however, I renamed the channel to Ride with Me. It might go back to LRH. For now, the motorcycle rides channel is called Ride with Me. My main channel where these podcasts are saved unlisted, is simply Noel de la Rosa, but it also makes sense to just call both the rides channel and podcast “Long Ride Home,” but I came across some copyright issues; I’ll figure out the names later.
