Another Day
16:50And now I pay for Twitter – it seems fair. I also chopped a chocolate bar to use on yoghurt or to sprinkle on top of fruits, mostly because I’m obsessed with natural food right now. How and when did we stop eating real food and started eating “safe substances”?
I bought sparkling water to mix it with a strong tea. The idea is to make a natural soda and fool my brain while I get used to the original flavour of things provided by Mother Nature. I finished a 500-piece puzzle and started a new one. I spent money on (maybe not so) necessary products – one of them is a resistance band that I’ll use to do exercises every morning.
Aging caught me and, while I’m still alive, I need to pretend that everything is okay. Meditation escaped me once more, and again I need to start from scratch in the hope of living until I am 100 years old, which is not gonna happen if I don’t stop eating so much junk food – as if it was an easy thing to do.
I finished The Wish Collector for the second time. Great book, with a main character who is a man who is not afraid of being a man. And, in that book, there is only one God, and not a bunch of “gods” like the modern literature insists on saying – modern culture already eradicated the family structure, now its goal is to eradicate religion as well – last month I finished The Starless Sea, and that same problem bothered me the entire book.
In Road Trip With a Vampire (I started reading it yesterday), God apparently doesn’t exist either. The main character, Zelda, keeps referring to gods, dear gods, oh my gods, or something like that. I honestly don’t care that much to remember her exact words, and if I hadn’t liked the first two books from this series, I would have given up on reading that nonsense – good thing I downloaded it instead of paying.
I prefer to pay for what I consume (hence the Twitter Premium). I bought a movie ticket for Fantastic Four and downloaded it to watch at home, I buy original Stabilo pens in stores. But that book… I’ll try a few more chapters before dropping it. Oh, and there is the last season of Stranger Things coming up. Why did I start watching it in 2016? Good thing jumping from a bridge wasn’t a thing at that time, otherwise I might have done it along with everybody else just to be part of the gang.
There are so many things in my head at the moment. More crap that I want to buy, more unhealthy desserts that I want to eat. Should I put flyers about my English classes on the bus stop again or should I try to use Twitter to create quality content? It wouldn’t be that difficult given the quality of the content there – God forbid any adult be reasonable on Twitter.
