In Which I ask if I have been Fooled by AI

Hello, my good friend, reader of this present post! How are you, today? Hope you are okay, do let me know if ever possible! I am okay, just here, trying to stay afloat in a month that has been intense, concerning the news. In my personal life, apart from the unfortunate gain of weight over the past late months, and some moments of deep melancholia, boredom, and so on, I am quite okay... what else can I ask for? It is okay, I suppose.... I mean, I could ask for some more relief from this horrid heat, I could ask my brother to stop with the noise from his bedroom, I don't care if he can play musical instruments, I prefer to have my music on-demand, and I hate the podcasts he listen to (and he listens to them with no earphones). Anyway... I have a good chunk of an idea to share, perhaps you will appreciate it! Let's jump to it, shall we? I wonder, have I been fooled by Artificial Intelligence?

Picture of the week! In which we have the path of the Reindeer!

Happy Monday everyone and good morning! Happy December as well, Season's Greetings! The most beautiful time of the year! My favorite season, besides my birthday! Even when I think I'm not celebrating enough, this is nonesense though, as Christmas is supposed to be celebrated at its own rhythim! Fast or slow, it depends on you! So, how was your weekend? How are you this morning? I hope things are well and I wish you the best! For me Weekend was calm and okay! I played some games! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot, and hot, so hot I gave water to my succulents, as they don't need too much water, they're desert plants, I plan on giving more water to them only the week after the next one, which means: Christmas week! Should be an awesome time for sure! And speaking of Christmas, I have a picture to share with you guys! The Path of the Reindeer, with the lyrics of the song O come O come Emmanuel following it! Hurray!



O come, o come Emmanuel
To free your captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice o Israel
To you shall come Emmanuel

This is a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics with a beautiful picture following it, the path of the reindeer, where those christmas animals on Lapland live happy. I mean, of course there're reindeers out of Lapland, and they're also happy, I think so, but the thing is I love Reindeers and I love Lapland, region where some say live Santa Claus. The story behind how Santa left Italy to live on the North Pole varies from person to person, and some don't even call Santa Santa, in Poland, he is called Święty Mikołaj! (thank you Arthur Christmas), in Brazil, where I live, we call him Papai Noel! Some call him Father Winter! On an episode of my fave show, The Office, Dwight present us to his version of Santa: Belsnickel, which is an... exotic version of Santa, more tied to how sometimes Santa was portrayed in other times! You see, there is more than meets the eye, and traditions can have beautiful stories and interesting facts! I will try to come with more Christmas Facts on the next post, if I can, but anyways, thank you so much guys for being here today, means a lot, see you all next time! And happy December, Merry Christmas!
