A world of little thoughts.
The magical feeling of New York City just before race day on Sunday is incredible. People from all over the world coming together for a spectacular challenge. Wonderful! nycmarathon2022
I started this year, finding out my supposed boyfriend had a pregnant finace. It was a nasty experience, but I had to forgive myself and forgive him to forge ahead.
Modern music is sampled at around 48kHz, 24-bit depth, stereo (left/right channels), and songs on average are about 5 minutes. Which begs the question: “Just how many five-minute-songs can there really be?” The average song, ignoring compression, assuming above parameters, requires about 700M bits:…
Today is Mother’s Day but, as I write this, none of my family has remembered. I don’t really mind. I know I’ll get an embarrassed apology at some point later today or tomorrow. I do know they love me. But I’m going to remember it for my own mum. A couple of months before her death, she told me I didn’t need to deliver…
2023 - a new year. A new year where people will make and, inevitably, break new year resolutions. Like last year. I resolve to begin my writing journey…with consistency. I prefer short form - short and succinct. This is my aim. What will I be writing about? People say specificity wins. Maybe that will evolve over…
hoje o impossível foi não me emocionar com Ary Borges, uma mulher preta fazendo história na copa de futebol feminino pela seleção brasileira. três gols e uma assistência que, pasmem, poderia ser feito por ela também, mas ela preferiu abrir os caminhos e tocar a bola para a jogadora mais próxima, Beatriz Zaneratto. foi…
Have a different flavour One room has mismatched socks Another, discarded earrings And yet another a space on a pillow. The kitchen is silent too Empty vessels that make no sound Wine and water turned to stains On spoons and rims of glasses. And the flowers on the balcony Nod silently And bloom regardless. December…
Earlier this week, a friend shared the official first song of his son, released in mainstream media. Very deep lyrics for an 18 year old to sing, about grief, death, the transient nature of our lives, before moving to the main theme of gratitude. Listening to it, immediately brought an inner smile to my being. I…
Forever can be broken down to a bunch of nows but can there be multiple nows? No matter how much you conquer you will always be beaten by the last second, the last mile and eventually the last breath. Which begs the question of what you really own. 20 minutes into meditation and i cannot tell whether the arms i’d…
Sometimes it doesn’t matter about the delivery (at first). Of course it matters but - what you started or initiated is much more interesting and useful/you’re supposed to live it that way. Imagine the scenario which you had in your head for quite a few times: You rather not do something because you’re afraid of making…
Spoilers ahead! Joy/Jobu, a character I resonated with after a long time. The anguish, lost mind, unheard sobs, hopeless eyes and whatever she was made of. I was feeling nothing like her. I felt it when she said "If Nothing Matters, Then All The Pain And Guilt You Feel For Making Nothing Of Your Life Goes Away." The…
You should say something that’s secretive That has a chapter 2 To hold conversations Is not to speak whatever’s on your mind But to pull others head towards your “mysterious and many other missing details” stories. To hold converse is to leading the words on Not spilling everything out cos some people might not be…
These words have jumped out to me daily, the last 6 months has been happy and rough, I carry the heavy weight of "I wish, I had". I have carried this weight year after year, I know what to do but I find it difficult to do, back to ground zero every single time, solving for everyone except me, getting away with the…
A nice lunch, cooking from scratch, having different dishes and trying new recipes, a couple years ago it would had been ordinary, but now with all the convenient meals that are premade and delivery services it just becomes a more special experience and feels rewarding. I want to try to cook more often, its healthy,…
Minha Doguinha, que eu chamo eventualmente de gordita, mas também de carinho, amorzão, butijaozinho, marronzinha, bananinha, galinho de briga, saco sem fundo, gulosinha, entre vários outros nomes carinhosos (ela atende todos), está dormindo pesadamente do meu lado. São duas da manhã e tô acordada pq despertei com ela…
If the captain of the ship can't be stable - then cruising a ocean liner through a path of ice and fire would be very very difficult - you got to be stable mentally (because most of the the thought and business comes from mentally). 自从变成浪漫主义 - 开始怀疑自己就变得比较愚蠢 romantically idiot to be submersing in ideology that you can…
I ain’t good writing stuff tbh. Hell, can’t even write anything good like shakespear but its the thought that counts :p Music has always been apart of me. From when i was in the womb until now, and maybe in the future. It was my only way of escaping from reality, extinguishing the fiery feeling in my chest after an…
The social web is for ̶c̶o̶r̶p̶o̶r̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ the people. •ᴗ•
When we feel displeased with someone, we make every effort to stop any interaction with them. It is liberating to see the difference it makes. In fact, once we have managed to master this detachment, we tend to feel bouts of motivation. The real tragedy is when something that causes us great pain is nothing alien but…
There are 2 kinds of jobs. The first is where one needs to do something. This usually requires one to be physically present and trade in time and energy for whatever needs to be done. If one doesn't do something, the job is not done. This kind of job is mostly synonymous to low skill and blue collared work like a…
Has any man ever responded positively to a woman offering unsolicited astrological information?
Today, I'll be going to the gym. Since starting my training journey in August 2022, I've made significant progress. Before that, I had been suffering from hemiplegic migraine attacks since my early 20s which left me feeling drained for days. I reached a point where simple tasks like applying shampoo or inflating car…
The last few months have been brutal for businesses. Layoff announcements, the world over, are seeing all labor go from being valuable to dispensable in no time. Isn't it a bit baffling that businesses don't pause celebrity-led campaigns while they make all the "tough calls?" A few of the big ed-tech companies in…
hospitals are scary - their cream tinted walls that seem to stretch out infinitely, the clutter of people walking and what seems to be the most terrifying is the occasional stretchers filled with sick people that pass by. you see their faces, their eroded smiles and the only a husk of the person they used to be -…
From a spiritual advisor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92i5m3tV5XY For the past ten years or so, every morning, the routine is to make my bed, read some spiritual literature, meditate, and pray. Lately, I have gone back to the ole Headspace well for meditation. But sometimes, like today, I sit still for a few…
I remember having read this anon poster before. They’re not happy about the previous posts: === anon6232 Really? Are we going to celebrate Caleb after his outrageous interview with Ensenada Insiders? It’s amazing to me how he can claim he supports the local artists of La Antigua, when the most highlighted piece in the…
The Joker rises above all other villains because he does not want anything. Every villain wants something: -Power. -Respect. -Revenge. -Love. -Wealth. The Joker wants nothing. Can you imagine encountering someone like him at your college? or your office? or your neighbourhood? Someone hellbent on destroying the…
somewhere for this to live! - my thoughts on loving friends, blurring the platonic (or my exploration into the actual etymological/philosophical origins of the word cause.. i keep wanting to make it include romance.. which i feel is valid rn) --- "friend crushes" and what that even really means/is it a thing -…
the night appears to pass in blinks yet the dreams hold ages, it seems. the pleasant stories playing in a thread, we crave, they never come to an end. to finish them, trying again to sleep, the thoughts resurfacing from the deep. too-bad, the stories refuse to weave, how quickly we let the gone to leave. how many more…
there was a study with mice where "the mice have a lever that they can press any time they want. When they press the button, a special optical sensor, which controls specific neurons in their brain, activates their dopamine neurons" anyway they pressed the button until they died with no desire of food or drink if…
All I want is to see action Dreams without action (inactivity) is going to cause anxiety and negative feeling You need energy levels You need mental environment to tell that it’s okay no matter how fled it is You need to know accountability as well, only by doing you’ll be able to get to places you wanted to be Not a…
Recentemente eu comecei a ler o livro "Fazer justiça" de uma francesa um ano mais velha do que eu chamada Elza Marsault. Bem, ela faz algumas críticas que eu considero muito pertinentes à militância do jeito que ela é hoje, e eu vou destacar um trecho da primeira parte dessa leitura que eu fiz aqui. "Essa vigilância…
i hate how much i loved your laugh. i hate how lonely all of this growth feels. i hate that you never celebrated my hard work. i hate that i tried. i hate that i loved your car. i hate that i loved every bit of that part of you that made me hate myself. i hate that i stayed. i hate that i waited while your mouth…

I have a love and hate relationship with fud. In general, I think it's necessary, especially in a space where 95% of the projects are going to 0. It's good to have some skepticism, but sometimes it's just too much. I've been a cool cat supporter since September. Mainly discovered it through Andrew Wang and a few of my…
Louco isso né? A gente se propõe a fazer algo e vai deixando, deixando. O tempo passa e você percebe que mais uma vez deixou de cumprir um objetivo. É frustrante para caralho. Lembrei com dor no coração que não terminei o curso dificílimo de robótica que comecei a fazer com o meu irmão menor. Sei que dei um péssimo…
There’s one simple rule for beginning journalers about what time to journal every day. Journal at the same time every day. You are building a habit. You want to be consistent. The time you choose to journal dictates your consistency. Consider these three factors when choosing your time. Your typical day: Is there a…
Blogs on what I learn or what appeals to me. Read on a topic over a single day and then write, unassisted (except for quotes), at the end of the day. The goal is to develop concise and coherent communication skills. Feel free to drop a text if you have something more to offer on a topic. Let's see where we get with…
One of the difficult parts about writing is determining the level of zoom. Zoom in too close, and it's a journal only relevant to you. Zoom out too far, and it's too generic to catch the attention of anyone in particular. Choosing the right balance is an overlooked nuance in writing. I've read many good pieces, which…
I spoke with a friend who had recently written off some friends when they were unwilling to engage in debate and acknowledge what he had to say. In one instance, I recall that he had taken the time to write a well constructed and well thought out email concerning a hot button topic. In response, he was dismissed and…
Crossing the threshold into tranquility. Silence. Figures reading, learning, absorbing. You tread lighter than usual. Paces slower. A softness of the feet as a sign of respect to the literature. A wave of colour greets you. Blinding brightness, as you search for familiarity. A name, a face, a feeling. Row by row of…
1. how far do we have to go? 2. are trees ticklish? 3. why didn't i say hi? 4. how to find a job that i love 5. can i go back? 6. what do earthquakes feel like? 7. what does heartbreak feel like? 8. how to keep breathing 9. how to care more 10. where do i find it?
Why stressing into the things when it’s too late to control The first mistake that people make is they try to avoid mistake It’s okay to be making mistake About systematic You remember the times you woke up for school, do the homeworks and be a goodboy That’s training yourself to be adulting It’s nothing “nerd” about…
To look back at this year, I need to go back further, starting with 2007. I have a tainted memory of a late night wrestling with my thoughts, I seem to remember thinking to myself that I was insulated from the worlds problems because I live in the UK. A few months later, I witnessed a global financial meltdown and the…
One of the surprising facts I learns was that YouTube are now doing up to 2Mbps H.264 Video for 1080P content. And the quality is quite impressive for Internet Video. And the world doesn't seems to want to save bandwidth from Audio Codec, vast majority of it are using 256Kbps AAC / Opus rather than 128Kbps. As…
In Biology WBC stands for White Blood Cells and RBC stands for Red Blood cells , but this is not about biology . This is about a game , a game of football to be precise , where two brilliant teams went all out for the prestigious champions league trophy . On may 28th , the UEFA Champions League final was played in…
Ontem eu falei aqui que tava na bad pq um ficante terminou comigo. Fui almoçar com uma amiga e chorei no metrô, chorei no almoço, chorei voltando pra casa, passei mal na rua, enfim o drama. Eu já aceitei que eu sou dramática. Falei com essa minha amiga que eu almocei, uma amiga que tá vivendo um amor de verão dos…
