In Which I read the Romantic Manifesto, by Mrs. Rand

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, how are you? How was the rest of your week? I hope you are well, and the week went as planned? How is the weather? Here, the weather is pleasant, it is characteristic of this time of year for the weather to be as such, it is the season of colder winds and some rain, which I appreciate. Not as much rain this July, so far, as on the winter of 2017, which I think was quite rainy, but well. I am tired, feels like I am always tired these days, even if I don't want to sleep all the time.  Apart from tired, I am okay, I'd say. Not much else to say besides some moments where loneliness gets more pronounced. I wish I could meet some online friend someday, I am fond of them all! Apart from that, I am reading a brilliant book by Mrs. Rand, whom I am so fond of. It is the Romantic Manifesto, and it gives voice to my fatigue of tropes in popular media. It is such a wonderful descriptive work on what is art, what is romant...

Song of the week! In which we pay homage to disco music and Donna Summer!

Hello everyone and happy Friday!! So happy to be here today writing this post for you and for me! How are you? As usual, I wish you the best! The days are still hot and with a very bright sun, it's like the summer is here earlier in 2018, what's going on??? As you know, as much as I love blue skies, I prefer the rain, ANYWAY, but the weather fits well the song I'm bringing today!! We're going to go back in time "just" a little bit for the disco days of the disco queen herself, DONNA SUMMER! And DON'T YOU FEEL THE LOVE IN THE AIR?



This was the first song I heard of her, it came out of nowhere on Spotify last year, and I love it so much! It's so hypnotizing and exuberant! But for some time it was the only song of her I knew, until her name popped into my head for some reason this month, and now I've been listening to her so much, and her songs are truly something else! I still don't know much about this fantastic artist, but I definitely have to keep searching for her and keep discovering her wonderful songs, just like this one! It has almost ten minutes and it holds you for this whole almost ten! And you even ask for more when it's over! I'm such a musical grandpa, I think I tend to love disco music in general, it's truly a rhythm in ebullition!! And if you don't have Spotify, do not worry! I have the link for Youtube as well:


I really encourage you to listen to it, I think it's worth it! Donna Summer is what we have for today, this nice Friday! Thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you a lot! See you next time!
