Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Começamos com Tuiuti. Que voz do Pixulé!! Fiquei muito feliz de ver o Nei Lopes lá e de ter insistido em ir no show dele lá no Sesc Pompeia. Achei a transmissão da globo relapsa mais uma vez. No final, quando vi várias fantasias que não foram mostradas ao longo dos 700 metros, foi frustrante. Mass, pelo menos…
Time feels right to get my will paperwork in order. Did up my list of "who gets how much". Still have to mull end of life issues, and won't put it off forever, but nothing pressing right yet. Felt good last night being part of a family of choice. Wondering why I'm still hesitant about taking the big trip in September.…
I didn’t need the caffeine. Drinking one cup of coffee in the morning silently made my blood pressure rise six to ten points. I already take blood pressure medication. It was in my best interest to give up caffeine. Coffee was my only source. After three months, I’ve noticed three other benefits. I don’t need caffeine…
So, what should I write here? Could it become my digital diary, or maybe just a place to spill out my thoughts? It's such a strange time right now... Missile attacks, blackouts, air alerts, no electricity for 3 days in a row. Maybe that's a good time to start something big and something new?
When there is pink and gray in a sunset, the pink stands out because of the contrast. On a cloudy day after a sunny one, we might not always appreciate the clouds, but after days of rain, a single cloudy day with no rain feels like a gift. Why can't we enjoy it as it is, feeling fortunate for a cloudy day, which has…
Első bejegyzés. Régóta keresek és próbálok különböző minimalista blog- és mikroblog-felületeket - most találtam rá erre az alkalmazásra. Egy próbát megér...
you didn’t misread anything but how am i supposed to look you in the eye and say; the way that i am has everything and nothing to do with you? how do i tell you that i took a step back because otherwise i’d fall off the edge? so, i swallow, and type; “nothing of the sort - recently i’ve just… been in my own head”
There's a lot to learn from watching an ice skating class. Let me paint a picture so you can imagine what I see. A big round ice rink with about 50 people with varying levels of skill. There some who skate as if this were the Olympics and there others who resemble penguins trying to maintain their balance. You have…
Help me out. Tell me what I'm supposed to expect here. I have a lot of projects to share progress on right when every social platform is failing me. So, help me out. Is this it?
Why are we so willing to change things like our cars or kitchens, yet so reluctant to change our deeply held beliefs or opinions?
Good night's sleep, even without the whirlpool and crappy eating. Odd dream: only a snippet of making out with a woman I know to be a lesbian. Got to listen to birdsong over coffee this morning. The birdsong doesn't make me feel as happy as it used to. Time for a break, time for a change. 280720 May 2022
Comecei uma nova série. Landscapers não foi tão legal, viu? Odeio qualquer coisa em preto e branco, me dá preguiça, e frequentemente esse recurso foi usado na série. Me arrastei até o final porque não gosto de coisas inacabadas. Mas!!!! Comecei tokyo vice que tá tirando toda nhaca de Landscapers. Cara, a trilha sonora…
I've been looking forward to this post all day even though I didn't always know what I would write about. My new phone set up is working perfectly. I have begun making everything I need and want to do a "Task" in the "My Tasks" application. I then enter dates, times and recurrences. If timing changes I make the needed…
Have you ever thought that for yourself? Do you even have an idea? It seems fitting for an entry on the first day of the new year. Because there's a lot of stuff on social media and the internet about the so called "New Years Resolutions". That at this point is more a meme than any other thing. Most of us know (and…
… and break it down. Will they make their bed Will they lay for 15 more minutes and be late What do they know The things they know and don’t - and how they act to get those information How they work around with people
I own a KZ750E - the four cylinder. Every now and then I try to convince myself that I do not need another motorcycle - but I mostly fail. I have narrowed it down to being a parallel twin. But I have a hard time deciding. Today I will share the research I did today between the three mentioned in the headline. My main…
Yesterday after being in Europe for 6 months, I experienced a truly short winter day. Which means darkness by 5 PM. It was a strange feeling for someone like me. In India day lengths don't vary so much throughout the seasons. I guess I will get used to it soon.
one thing i’ve been thinking about a lot is what i’ve thought of as “what-the-fuck art” that is, those artworks that are so weird and so confusing that you can’t help but go “what the fuck, why is this… like this? what series of decisions and beliefs led the artist to think these make sense together?” — i suppose any…
Eventually, it's a world of one. I don't mean this in a nihilistic, pessimistic, or even a narcissistic way. I just mean that eventually, it's a world of one. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does give me the occasional existential crisis. Now that I'm starting a venture of my own, I'm more empathetic…
Autonomy and decision-making as an adult really does seem like a simple concept that I should have in my pocket by now. Somehow still, this practice has continued to elude me. Until now… It’s so strange and exciting to finally accept that I can move forward in such a decision as lifelong marriage commitment. And…
I do not judge. I'm no saint and I've done my share of sins, hence I do not judge. I'm here to help in whatever way you need me to. I cannot tell you what is right or what is wrong or what you should do or what you should've done. I cannot tell you because I do not know myself. But I will do what you need me to do.…
Writing is a two prong thing for me. First, the process of thinking and writing itself is enjoyable and vaguely satisfying. Secondly, well crafted words can command enormous influence. Every good story, instruction or code starts with a written word. But what's also true is that writing regularly is hard work. It's…
Is knowing the things but spending time to argue/fight your way through things that don’t matter. Like PS circling round and round the words she chose; trying to prove a point where all of us knew there’s no use Boomer is a derogatory term. Being boomer is a sign of being stupid; not clear of what you wanted to convey…
i don't mean ibuprofen i mean weed i realized that weed restored back to me a positivity and practical intelligence and life force and "i can do this" that i had lost due to my hypersensitivity and awareness of the general shittiness of average people before books saved my life, weed threw me a flotation device.
ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE AND REFLECT Ask your local plants for advice or insight and reflect on how you might learn from their lived experiences. Here are some examples: “a garden doesn’t shout into the void, it stays put and complexifies. It quietly grows” - Max Anton Brewer “A garden can create ‘finished products’ but not…
Listen to more podcast. W.o.w just Be more accepting. The charismatic people are usually competent - but doesn’t necessarily means JUST smart. It means knowing the stuff but knowing how to convey as well. It’s good to have the ability to stop 🛑 1. 2. 3. But within these 3 seconds you’re actually buying time to…
For a change, I'm not fishing for a topic in the river of my thoughts. I was thinking about the idea of feeling heard today. In fact, I got thinking about it when I first interned as a journalist. I spent most days in those two months running from pillar to post, attending press meetings, gathering 'newsbites' from…
Is 'should' an inspiring word? When you say "We should do ...", "let's try to", it comes off argumentative and attempts to remove pressure from oneself. Replace with "I'd like to do", "I'd prefer to". These phrases take ownership and inspire
If you're observant of how you live, it is easy to realize that most of us live on autopilot. We're usually getting by every day, figuring stuff out on our own. On most days, it is rewarding to be self-sufficient. However, the more isolated lives we lead, the more difficult it is to know when to seek help from…
Visualization is a strategy to create a mental image of your success. Daily journaling helps you visualize your success each day. Success in whatever you hope to achieve. It starts with identifying what you want to accomplish. I write a statement of intent. I will spend an hour working on organizing my archived…
While the beginning of the year was all about writing, the last few months have shifted to making musical devices again. I kind of abandoned my story after a few months of work. It’s not totally gone though. I still have ideas brewing and I will finish it one day! Right now though I am happy to be making things again…
So me and my love have recently started a trend of streaming movies together on Amazon Prime and one of the movies we watched recently was "Eternal Sunshine of Spotless mind". Believe me I had to google the name before typing here . Since I cannot remember the name I call it "Eternal Something Something" . My…
One thing I hope to use this medium for is getting the phone out of my hand so much. Do. Do. Do. That's what I want. To do. But instead, I scroll. Incessantly. For some reason I feel like something miraculous is just around the next flip of the thumb. Sometimes, yes, something interesting does come up, but rarely is…
Sim, vou pra Minas Sozinha Amanhã Rs Em 29 anos é minha primeira viagem sozinha sozinha. Tô me inspirando em várias mulheres que leio desde os 17. Demorou né? Meu tempo. O tempo das coisas. O tempo da coragem. Só hoje lembrei de lavar meu cobertor conforto. Não acho que consigo sem ele. Vou lavar algumas outras roupas…
If you’re starting a journaling habit, there’s no reason to write deep thoughts. You need to concentrate on the habit you’re creating. You want to be consistent at the same time each day. It doesn’t even matter what you are journaling. It matters that you are journaling. Making your journaling habit easy to complete…
Information is collected, aggregated, examined and assimilated into knowledge over time. The skill of using knowledge to make decisions that advance one's objectives in the world, together with the knowledge of which objectives are worthy of pursuit, is wisdom. Content, in contrast, is a different beast. Unlike…
Hoje eu li bastante. Ontem também. Minhas newsletters estavam acumuladas depois de uma semana intensa no trabalho. Mas hoje eu li um texto da Suleika falando sobre reclamar. E eu tenho muitas reclamações. Seguindo sua recomendação de imaginar um setor público destinado a receber reclamações formais, aí vai. Nome do…
I wish I had followed up on my previous post. Now I completely forgotten what part 2 was suppose to be. So I have this Part 1.5 as an update for myself. We now have rumours and hints that Cortex X4, on 3nm may be able to get 15% Clock Speed increase, and possibly 15% or 20% IPC increase. On a 15%/15% increase that…
Death is a known factor that disrupts all projections. The only problem is we don't know where it fits in the timelines of our lives. Today a friend left the office early. I joked to call out his half day. He smiled, winked and said he's just tired. He promised he'll pick the rest up tomorrow. He will never come back…
Not really sure what to write here. Just checking this website out. I'm thinking of using this more if I find it fancy, as I don't really have the habit of writing and I'm sort of thinking about getting into it. Peace out.
I’m Nanaji of Akhil and Abhi. My grandson, Akhil, made me start writing this blog, to share my memories and events of my daily life.
- andy warhol - tao lin - megan boyle - jordan castro - sheila heti i really want to eat some raisins right now what do all of these people have in common? their ratio of thoughtfulness to playfulness is just right they exude a level of wit&sillies that is just below the threshold required for actual laughter but that…
Well, not literally. What I mean is, the obsession brands had with a 'logo that pops', has now shifted to 'having a community'. With a logo, at least we were all on the same page about what it meant. With a brand community, it's essential to understand what it means and what you need in your brand before you can start…
I was supposed to be at the top. I spend most of my free time reading about politics, history, philosophy and economics. I live in the world of ideas. I think in terms of strategy. I want to lead. I want to tell other people who don't share my talent for strategic depth what my vision is and for them to implement it.…
This morning I rose at 11AM, which is typical for me on weekends. I did the usual brush and shower. After my first meal of the day, which I suppose would not exactly have been breakfast, I sat at the dining table with a cup of coffee. I felt a need to figure out what I was going to do. Meanwhile, I had begun browsing…
A universal aspect of any given human culture is the accepted method by which disputes and disagreements between individuals are resolved. Some methods that have been considered acceptable at various times in various places include (a) engaging in violent physical combat, (b) challenging one's enemy to a shooting…
Lately, I've been reminiscing about my past experience in the school system, and one of the common themes that I keep coming back to is the sheer tolerance of prideful incompetence, e.g., being wrong in a loud way. Arguing loudly when you're wrong is, in a way non-threatening to the teacher, they're right at the end…
In 2000 Portugal had a massive drug problem. 1% of the population was addicted to heroin. They'd been trying to solve the problem the American way. Put people in jail. Shame and ostracize drug users. Every year the problem got worse. Eventually it got so bad that the prime minister and the leader of the opposition…
