Good morning, my dear friend, reader of this post! Happy Saturday, and I wish you the best! How are you today? I am okay, I would say... I am a bit sad that it took me this long to write this post, as I started somewhere in Tuesday, but anyway... As okay as one can be in summer... I hope soon, in spite of the dreadful heat, I may draw something, God knows I have not been productive at all. I am aware these days I keep on saying I will do a thing, only not to do it in the end, but truth is, I also dread forcing myself to do it. I want to produce a piece I may be happy with, in one sitting. If I can avoid reworks, that is what I will do, least of all I get full of draft paper that I will feel bad in trashing, but also won't have space for it in my desk. I also dread talking about the plans aloud... truth is I am done with those weird superstitions, but I always fear a dark cloud above me when I say I will do something. Because of those thoughts, and the conflicts, I usually don't talk on my drawing plans. Today, I am breaking this thing, and saying that I hope at some point I may draw one of my many guys, male portraits being what I like to draw the most. Then, later, I can work on that gingerbread house I wanted to do it for so long now, but haven't done it, because I take many sittings to draw a house or a building. Even if it takes me a while to do it, better than forcing myself... the drawing keeps getting more and more complex, and I can never finish it and the frustration and despair consumes me. Couldn't I do something smaller? Ideally I would. Maybe I will. I just need a smaller sketchbook, maybe? Hm... I will think about that... I in fact may start doing some research on smaller sketchbooks...
On the matter of creativity, I managed to work on a freaking poem, recently! First time in many months, if not a year or so.
I would love to share it here today! Ideally I would have done so many days ago, but took me a while to finish the blog post. Well, we should jump to it, shall we...
The Holy Land,
By Daniel Trianon
Dryland, that in a relieved manner meets deep veins of water.
Steam Power that serves a scarcely inhabited region
Resilient cattle feeds on the grass that defies irrigation
A dam that provides miles and miles with power
I cannot say I miss the days
When hard it was to escale the ladders
Unaware the world was of the area
Where the train went fast in its rails
Taking anxious cargo to God-Forsaken Quarters
The season was far and close
Not in locomotive but in engine
Goes the boy back to the tree
While the rain unnanounced washes
In the desert the desperate flowers
There was Christ in fodder
And its mother and father
Awaited for the signal of David
To settle in an area further
Where Honey and Succor
Would be provided.

So, there you have it, my new piece! What do you think of the final result? Ah, I was playing some Victoria 3 just now, and the sitting was a long one, so my bottom hurts, at the moment... I wish I did not have to deal with such issues. Losing weight is very hard, and I may have to go to the surgical procedure, as in order to lose some weight. Hopefully it will be done, and I will have better quality of life... anyway... I trust this is a topic for some next blog post. As for today, writing was done, finally! What else would I do, today? Hopefully a drawing, should the weather and the fans allow me to do so... I could read, God knows I could be reading more these days... hopefully I will motivate myself to read at least some pages. What else? I have been revisiting the Sims 3, and even the Sims 2... I do what I can to avoid the woke mess that is Sims 4. I hate that I've spent so much in that game, it is ridiculous, but well... I think I have mentioned before, I just want to do some nice buildings there at the end of the day... it is the most casual experience I have, and really, I get bored of it fast... I mean, was the Sims always a progressive game? I wouldn't say progressive. Edgy, irreverent, chaotic, pop-punkish that recalls me of Avril Lavigne? That is for sure, but that is not being progressive, not necessarily... the game had a Rock n Roll edge to it, that was absolutely lost in the 4th entry of the franchise. If you know Rock n Roll, you would not call that genre or its members a monolithic thing. I trust that was The Sims before, just a fun "rebel" without a cause sort of game, a jester making fun of modern life in a heartfelt manner. Sims 4 has none of it. The game lost all credibility. To be fair, I doubt the Simulation genre may survive if they want to be friendly towards the modern left. Socialism leads to oblivion, in many ways. Ah, I am just prolonging myself at this point.
Fear not, though, my friend, reader of this post! I should be back real soon. There is a month of January to wrap up, and a month of February to start here. So, probably you will see me again next week, at some point... until then, wish you the best, and happy Weekend!!!!
