In Which We talk of Books and the rush to the grocery market

Hello, my good friend, and reader of this present post!! Happy Thursday! How are you today? How have you been? As for me, I am okay, though also feeling odd. Finished for the second time the audiobook of Human Action, the economic treatise by Ludwig von Mises. I feel accomplished and even if it was quite a big work by Mises, having 60 something hours, and around 1000 pages, as I once again listened at my own pace, and as I am very fond of his prose and am taken entirely by most of his ideas, only not quite subscribing to some fringe details here and there, it was nothing but a pleasure! A great and pleasant intellectual milestone on the journey of intellect. One that I went through before, but gladly doing it again. I only wish more people could take time to get themselves acquainted to this giant economist, the greatest knight of classical liberalism and common sense. If this is not the truth in its entirety, it is definitely close to it, or rather pointing towards it. Of course, one ...

In Which I start a (more) Personal Journal!

Good morning, dear reader of this post! Happy Monday and I wish you the best, how are you? How is the weather? Here, the weather is on the process of turning into winter, the sun already feels less abusive. I'm okay, even taking in consideration my college troubles and financial issues of the day. I don't regret purchasing the shoes I purchased, but well, it does take a tool on my balance. Still waiting for them, as well, I hope they arrive soon. I could use a haircut, but not at the moment, because of the financial issues, perhaps next month, at some point...



My last session with my psychiatrist was so enjoyable! We chatted about some qualities I have that could help me start a career or something of the sort, and in that train of thought, he recommended me to write some more, just as a way of reading what's in my mind and so on, organize it. I liked the idea, and were we are, I started a personal journal! Does this means the blog is over? I think it's the opposite, because now I'll have more creative juices flowing, and with me getting so with me getting some more raw stuff out, this may increase the quality of the posts, though that would be more of an indirect consequence than a direct one. I thought I was done with Europa Universalis yesterday, because I had a trainwreck as Byzantium. I was going quite alright, till I was dragged into a religious war by my allies, the Austrians, and shortly afterwards the Mamluks declared on me, devastating my country further. Total disaster.  But now, I started a new run as Portugal, and I'm going quite well playing against the Castillians and the Aragonese. Still a lot to do, such as keep exploring the world, getting rid of Spain as a colonial competitor... In order to explore the world, I first need to research national ideas, and then get the explorations idea, I'm still some steps back into it. In this game, I had a civil war, for example, that went terribly, I went bankrupted too, so those are some quite bad debuffs.

On the drawing realm, I slowly started working on coloring the drawing I'm currently on the process of finishing. It's one with a lot of details so it feels like a daunting task! When I finish this one, I also plan on drawing some more, even if for myself only, because I got a bit demotivated when sharing it with people, because some criticism of my work I can't properly address at the moment, like "oh your faces are similiar towards each other" to which I don't know yet what to do concerning this one... Anyway, one step at a time. I was going to make more progress on the drawing, but yes, I feel like playing Europa once again.

I think today's post is done, so let's wrap it up! Hope I can be back again real soon with some more words... See you again real soon, much love and cheers!
