In Which songs from 2011 bring me some memories of days past... a post done out of nostalgia

Good morning my excellent friend, reader of this present post! How are you? How is the week going? It has begun, and I pray, in a good way. I am overall okay. Not much else to be said, really. Just awaken way too late in the night/early in the morning. I will likely be sleepy by 6 to 7AM, but I won't desire to sleep. It will be that annoying battle against the heavy eyes. At times I am with much anxiety to sleep. Maybe I should look for some other comfort beverage besides coffee. I did cut to 3 mugs a day, 4 if I am indulgent... I used to think it would just make me stay awake, but it just mitigates sleepy time, so the enchantment over caffeine has been dimmed...  This is just a series of impromptu thoughts I had when the social media algorithm recommended me a post with by now old songs, tunes that were mainstream a decade ago. Imagine, a whole decade! In fact, 16 years ago, give it or take... bitter, that it went away so completely. I was 14, then, I am 27 now. Almost 3 decades o...

In Which we have a whole bunch of stuff to do (or at least a whole list!)

Good morning, dear reader! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? How are you? How are things going? I am sorry I decided not to write this Saturday, I was wanting to relax a bit, not wanting to worry about anything, just Civ, really. I am back now, hope I can write a post or two this week. And speaking of me, This morning will be busy! My plans are: going to the store, so I can have my earbuds fixed, or at least get new ones, or anyway, just to have an answer to my issues with it, then I should get new earphones, because my current pair is broken in one of the sides. Thinking on the matter, can my earphones be fixed as well? I'm not sure, but that would be cool. Anyway, after that, I should get a haircut, and after the haircut, I should return to home, so I can enjoy my last day off college for the next 4 months or so! I woke up really early today, as I plan on playing some games before that, I have Age of Empires III in mind. I've been wanting to get into it for a bit, but without much success, due to the fact I fear of missing out on Discord/Twitch. Yea, addiction is a thing.


Wonderful painting by the artist Julian Onderdonk, a texan impressionistic painter, just the way I like it. This name is a big one, often called the Father of Texan Painting! Or at least it's what I read! My friend Darth, that I cherish so much and value his opinion as well, wouldn't like my posts because he would think it's just a bunch of disconnected sentences mended together. I accept his criticism, but I'm not sure if I'll change things around here, this is the Divagation Store, after all, I start thinking of one thing, end up on another totally different! I think that's cool, too.

Ravel's Bolero (Youtube)

Ravel's Bolero (Spotify)

I am reminded of a composition that I really appreciate, and that is the Ravel's Bolero! I like the compass of it, and its constancy, if that's a word. I am prone to make mistakes in language, unfortunately, specially because English is not my first one, that would be Portuguese, but well, I'm here to write and practice! I pray that you can understand me! I also wonder what should be my quote of the week, it's always something that makes me think on Mondays, it's cool to research on those! Anyway, I should now go do that, and finish editing this post! Thank you, dear reader, for reading this, means a lot! I appreciate you! And I see you real soon, may this soon be this week.
