Countdown to the end
I have about 30 more days left of this blog to fulfill my promise of a whole year publishing a post daily. I will miss it, especially the nights when I really had to express myself to feel better; and the moments that I had the time and clarity to better organize my ideas for…

Not today [untitled]

I simply cannot find the strength to do this today, nor the motivation to write something thoughtful. About 6 weeks more of this, and it’s done. Definitely gonna change the way I view my life, and organize my evenings. Most of the nights, it’s a nice writing exercise with the online world, a declaration of…

Not tonight, I can’t. Not focused at all. Mind is racing, thoughts are scattered. Got caught up doing other stuff on the computer, started late, and now it’s close to midnight. A lot has been happening these last few days. I definitely owe you a good story; maybe tomorrow. Tonight has been strange, and I’m…

Pay it forward, keep it going, make it contagious
Being a cynic prepares you for most outcomes in real life.Just like not having any expectations protects you from most of the disappointments you might have. Something bad happens and “you either expected it, you weren’t surprised, or you were prepared to deal with it.”Something good happens, and “what a pleasant surprise, I did not…

When you lose in life, don’t lose the lesson
Not in the mood today. Had a hell of an emotional rollercoaster of a day. I’m exhausted, and feel like shit. The upside was huge, but later came the downer, and it took away all energy and happiness. Everything is alright, nothing that can be repaired. Just time and money lost. Don’t really want to…

Midterm elections [brief reflection]

No, I won’t get “that” political. But I have to ask questions… First, some things that are easy to accept: A powerful person will vote to maintain power (or get more power). A rich person will vote to stay rich (or get richer). If the status quo benefits you, then you’ll agree with the measures to…

The curse of auditory sensitivity
Could barely do this today. There’s too much noise. I’m tired of letting sounds get to me. Dog licking his paws, chewing on his bones, clickety-clack of paws, constant panting…. Love them, but it drives me crazy. It’s too much. Can’t concentrate, can’t think, can’t relax. All I hear are the sounds inside the house.…

Driving, and more driving
No matter what anyone says, driving is tiring. It doesn’t have to be 6 straight hours, it could be 6 consecutive trips of 15 minutes each. You’ll get exhausting. That being said, I love driving, but following traffic laws, watching out for idiots on the road, paying attention to the GPS, choosing the most efficient…

The train of thought left me at the station
I was about to start writing today’s post, and was interrupted suddenly. Had to pause this and turn my attention towards something else. Tried to come back here, and nothing came out. My mind was a blank. It was like missing the exit at the interstate and not being able to get back on the…

No screens allowed, only cellphones
I’m currently staying in a house that does NOT have any TVs; NOT A SINGLE ONE, but they DO have a whole shelf full of board games (and not the good classic ones, but the new ones that no one knows about because they hardly ever buy them.) These are two professional adults in their…
