In Which Life is not SimCity: Washington Square and the Austrian Connection

Good morning, dear friend! Here I return with some more thoughts and ideas about urban planning and so on. I tend to avoid writing so much all at once, but it cannot be helped as I had this idea in mind, I would love to share! Of course, I want first to ask how are you, how are things? As for me, I am a bit fatigued, but not too bad. I pray and hope today can be productive, I want to make some effort and go deliver some documents at the school and hopefully I may find if I can have an internship or not. The weather is miserable, summer ends with a strong and unbearable moist heat, the worst kind. Hope you are havinf a better temperature time today. With that being said, would love to explore this thought I had, as follows: I think I could have mentioned before, I am reading this excellent book by the writer Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities, and it got me thinking that simulation games have really little to do with real life, have they? I say this as a person that lo...

In Which I say Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving! In Brazil, this holiday, as far as I know, is not celebrated, but I wanted to celebrate a bit anyway, just to say thank you for being here, I'm thankful to have you around, dear reader, my friend! I'm wishing my friends all over the world this, I'm wishing you this, people should know they're appreciated for the good things they do! 2020, what a crazy ride it has been, it was a rough start, but the last couple of months, besides some stress, anxiety, sadness, that I suppose are a part of life, unfortunately, not that I'll ever get used to it, things have been pretty okay! 

I moved places, made a couple of drawings and will make some more, have been chatting with friends, have a nice relationship with my family, have been streaming, we should celebrate our nice moments, our small victories! And even before moving, things had been okay! I have good memories from May, June and July, besides being trapped at my apartment due to this stinky oversized flu. I miss going to the mall, seeing my friend, but I have plenty to do at home anyway, playing Videogames, drawing, just carrying on with life, doing the best of a bad situation. I'm glad that months in confinement came to an end, and I'm getting out again, of course I'm still am to go to the mall, see my friend again, the heat of Springtime, the awful masks and the brainwashed panicked people, with their hand sanitizers and virtue signaling, prevent me from going out, or at least make me desirable of going out anyway. My bedroom is nice and cozy! The games I like have been releasing lots of new content this year, which I'm grateful for it as well! I have discovered a couple new games also, like Victoria II. I played multiplayer with my friend Ethan as well, and we watched Mushishi together, everytime we can chat through voicechat, even on those awkward silence moments, is a blessing for me, as I love Ethan! I progressed and finally finished my Design course, this is a crazy good thing, that I'm thankful for, as well! I returned to college, and though my (virtual) time in it hasn't been either fun or profitable, far from it, well, I suppose it's a step. And since I done architecture in the past, I was discharged from a lot of subjects, a reason to celebrate, that's for sure! I have moments of extra joy, when I order some Pizza, or when my mom goes to the house of a friend for the night and I can sleep at her bedroom, that has an AC! I do have a good fan, but nothing beats an AC, am I right? It has been a remarkable calm time for me, this year, most of it, 2012 was the last year I could say I had mostly calm moments, since 2013 was a crazy ride and 2014 was my horrible year, 2015 and 2016 have been alright, but nothing like 2020. 2017 was also nice, 2018 was another crazy ride, and 2019 was a bit bittersweet, in many ways, but it was the year I got my new laptop too. Well, you got the point of the post, to reflect on good moments of my life, and say thank you! Thank you God! And I hope this holiday season with Christmas and beyond be nice and calm. I wish you the best, dear reader, as I constantly do, and I see you real soon!
