In Which I talk of Walls and Ghost Job Entries

Good evening, my friend, reader of this post!! Happy Thursday, almost Friday, I am happy to see you! And specially I am happy that I am writing a post, at all. These days, as it has been the case for some moments, I have immense difficulty in writing. I ought to shout in frustration, really. I cannot stand this difficulty I face. I have tried 3 times or so today, this Thursday, and several more the past day of this week of May 2026. It is depressing, I cannot find the words to describe my thoughts, and sometimes my mind is foggy, so I cannot find thoughts to fill in the words either.  It is just, I think, rhat I want to write about urban planning, for some reason, and I do not find the words. And I also fail to know where to begin, on a microscopic scale. Though I am still touched with the Jacobs spirit, and I have that project of the book at the back of my head, at times no words arrive, neither the thoughts. I want to write about architecture, since we mention that, but I also fi...

In Which we Open up September counting our blessings

Good afternoon, my good friend, dear reader of this post! Happy Monday, and most certainly happy month of September! New week, new month! How are you? As for me, I am okay, I'd say, nothing really out of the ordinary routine, which is not necessarily a bad thing, not at all. The weather stull has been fresh and pleasant, but I don't fool myself, it will take a turn for the worst soon, with the arrival of the hot winds of the end of the year, and summer. There is the consolation that most likely this 2024's summer was suffocatingly hot because of the fact we were passing through an accumulated El Nino phenomenon. This means that there is a chance the summer of 2025 won't be as egregious. One can only hope. Not all is dread, when it comes to the passage of time, though. Soon will be Christmas!! That glorious time, sacred and beautiful, with enchanting decorations and joyfulness, time for gift giving and receiving, reconciliation and the celebration of the birth of Jesus! I mention Christmas due to my personal love for it. But there are other holidays to look forward to, such as the Halloween time, for the friends in America and England, and the beautiful Thanksgiving holiday in America, time for sweet potatoes and seasoned turkey! Fall will come to the northern hemisphere, making everything orange. If only I could see the seasons, here where I live, time stand still on a summer that only gets mildly less hot during the mid of the year... I am not sure why people associate the tropics with happiness and bright times, I consider that lack of change of pace absolutely dreadful, depressing...


Very elegant gentleman with the colors of the season! Soon will be autumn, season for the orange colors.

What are my plans for this upcoming September? I hope to keep on having good time on playing videogames, Memoriapolis, the new game, comes to mind, hope I can keep the reasonable rhythm of drawing that I observed in August. I hope I can keep on writing... I wish I could have the opportunity to talk more with my dear friend, sir Johannes, but it is out of my control, and I think not entirely on his, either. Johannes is always so busy... I hope I don't have any conflicts with any friend. I wish I can keep supporting Jason, for example. He is such a nice guy. I like him a lot... and there is dearest of Charles, one of the great solances of my life, my hero and best friend. I am grateful for having the friendship of this smart and christian man! 

The trend for September, that may or may not keep on going, is to play Memoriapolis. I also got new mods on Sims 3, that enhanced my experience on the game! It is quality of life stuff, but still very much welcomed. I hope also I can read more, given I am reading a book on the Habsburg dynasty, and listening to another one, and I certainly have been taking my time on both... I think this is only valid, given I just want to have a good time reading the books and learning on my own pace. Speaking of learning, the subject for college this September is a continuation of Colonial Brazil, this time talking about the period of the 1760s to 1808. With the good teacher ministering this subject, I am sure at least I will have a good time learning more on the subject.

And, I think this is a good and positive way of opening this month, we better take the good as we can, given the concerning trends of late August. Maybe a good time to wrap today's journal entry? I suppose! Of course, you don't need to worry or to miss me, as I will be back sooner rather than later, hopefully before the weekend. Thank you for being here, dear friend, can always count on your company and support! I wish you the best, and I see you again real soon! Cheers.
