In Which Birthday comes Near and I recover from a rough week with woes and scaring moments

Good morning, kind and excellent friend, dear reader of this post. I want to wish you a happy Friday, a happy weekend as well. How are you, today? How has the week been? I hope the weather has been relatively pleasant and not overwhelming. I am at the south of the planet, so it is winter here. What a marvelous season, I adore to just enjoy the more refreshed temperature and the colder weather, as cold as the tropics would allow to go. I am okay, happy the blog is reinstated, feeling concerned and worried it may be taken out again for whatever reason I am not aware of. This incident caused me to be even more skeptical and weary of Google. I have been mentioning the moderation AI issue, but not as a way to sneer the technology, more as a concern on adopting it everywhere with not enough checks and balances. It always strikes me as a too expensive tool that offers not as much in return. And I use Artificial Intelligence on daily affairs quite a bit, for a number of reasons, still I think ...

In Which we have a Sock Review! My "Cat Trying to Catch the Fish" sock by the brand SockItToMe!

Good morning, reader of this post, my friend! Happy Saturday! How are you today? How have you been? I wish you the best, and hope the last week of July went smoothly! As for me, it wasn't productive, not really, and I had to save pennies as well, which is okay. Apart from that, college is about to begin, and the doubts are here yet again, not ideal... I have to, next week, see what I should do to get rid of as many disciplines as possible, and so on... but anyway, how is the weather? Here, the weather is rainy and fresh, the other day we had, at midday, the time usually it's hotter, 26 Celsius, which is 78,8 Fahrenheit! Where I live, that's a weather worthy of socks and sweaters! Today I had some stuff in mind to chat about, such as my "drawing stagnation", but I'd like to focus on a pair of socks I have! August 2018 - so 4 years ago, influenced by Zach, that was really into socks, he has a whole collection of those and so on, which is something that inspired my story of the adventure of Mr. D'Onofrio. I haven't paid attention to socks much before, but he really inspired me to start valuing them! So I built a small collection for myself, that I even posted some pictures before - I decided to purchase some american socks by the company SockItToMe. I went on their website and browsed for the models and got these ones!
This is a picture of the socks, lovely mint ocean blue! It was taken this Wednesday, I believe!
How would I rate them, four years later? Well, I think their colors survived well the time, they are very much intact, still comfortable! And speaking of comfortable, I guess next time, when I can, I'll get shorter ones, because long ones are a bit of a challenge to wear sometimes, like, they really only suit me on winter, much, even if I end up using it on every ocasion I can! They are overall comfortable, even if they're too long and I have hairy legs mand feet, unfortunately, so it hurts sometimes, specially when I have them for a long time. My point is, everything has its problems, but those socks are comfortable, durable and their quality (at least the ones I have) have prove to be a good one! I'd give them a 4,5 out of 5! I think that's a reasonable approach to them. I don't recommend things lightly, but socks from this brand I would recommend. Now, if you live abroad, may be difficult to get them, because in Brazil there is the dollar/Real conversion, the aduana costs as well, that are high, please consider all the logistics and the costs. But well, I did something crazy for my 20th birthday and I don't regret it!
And before I forget, here's the link for their website!
I think this is a good point to wrap it up! Thank you Zach for encouraging me to do this, and may I have more opportunities to write about socks and other pieces of clothing! Cheers! Hope your weekend may be great, again, I wish you the best! And I see you real real soon, for the wrap up of July!
