In Which Life is not SimCity: Washington Square and the Austrian Connection

Good morning, dear friend! Here I return with some more thoughts and ideas about urban planning and so on. I tend to avoid writing so much all at once, but it cannot be helped as I had this idea in mind, I would love to share! Of course, I want first to ask how are you, how are things? As for me, I am a bit fatigued, but not too bad. I pray and hope today can be productive, I want to make some effort and go deliver some documents at the school and hopefully I may find if I can have an internship or not. The weather is miserable, summer ends with a strong and unbearable moist heat, the worst kind. Hope you are havinf a better temperature time today. With that being said, would love to explore this thought I had, as follows: I think I could have mentioned before, I am reading this excellent book by the writer Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities, and it got me thinking that simulation games have really little to do with real life, have they? I say this as a person that lo...

Song of the Week! In Which we have a more thoughtful song

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you! And good afternoon! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope things are fine! How is the weather where you are? Here it's really a hot summer day, I'm embracing icebags and the air conditioner, still not enough! I managed to do some sketches! Yay!!! Maybe I'll do some more tomorrow! Even if I still don't have much ideas and don't want to do something different, it's nice to just draw, overthinking kills everything, it's good for almost nothing! I'm gonna have night classes today, not much homework this weekend, so that's nice! And today is song of the week day, and we have one that I found really interesting lyrically and just in general! By my online friend Luke Dimond aka Duke Limond, here we have Cold Hands!



I found the painting The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friederich to be quite fitting to the atmosphere and the message of this introspective song that talks about the way one handles the subtle struggles of life in a way that doesn't always end with the best outcome possible, in a soft and intriguing way, the song is very enigmatic, speaking of learning to live with darkness, dealing with loneliness and how one can end up more insensitive and resilient to emotional drama as a result of any experience of sequence of those. It's a song that looks inside the soul in a way that should not be underestimated, and one I do like a lot, that captured my attention since the begining! Well, at least this is my take on this song, like I said, it's very enigmatic, or at least I find it so! Luke is a wonderful producer and extremely talented artist, also a wonderful online friend. I do think the painting fits the song and his work in general, as he has a power of going deep in the soul and facing the unkown with the head held high. This is what we have for today on the Divagation Store! Thank you so much for reading, and you are the very best and you know it! Luke released some songs with Cold Hands a while ago this year, they're equally great and I definitely will talk about them in the future! And if you have interest in finding more about Duke you can follow him on Twitter/Instagram at @lukedimond! And he also has a more musical account at @fostersongs, both on Twitter and Instagram! He also has a website here! He was one of the best artists I discovered in 2018 and I definitely recommend on checking on him!
And this is it for today! See you all next post! Yahoo! Wish you a wonderful day and a happy Weekend!
