In Which the fog of the terrain is present and the birds scream confusely

Good morning, dear friend, reader of the present post! How are you today, sir and madame? How is the weather? Here, glorious winter, the one of 2026, makes itself known more and more and more, and I urge it to come faster and to FREEZE the land. Oh eternal bliss of the cold winds and the heavy rains, how I love it, so much! And I am okay... I think. Just a bit 6 out of 10 these days, as a rough estimate. At times, 5 out of 10, at times almost a 7. But under the weather nonetheless. I always feel frustrated when I cannot write, or draw, and yet because this is a hobby, it would not be fair to treat it as my main trade. I went on this direction before and it is not a profitable approach. God knows what I will do for a living, but likely it won't be hard drawing or hard writing, not as a main avenue. After some days of writer's block, I did have some thoughts that I wanted to share AND that I know how. Finally a positive alignment on that field! It promises to be a long post, so i...

In Which We Have The uncertain future

Good morning, my excellent friend, dear reader of this post! Happy Saturday! How are you, today? As for me, I am okay, I’d say. There is little for me to do, when it comes to videogames, but to wait. I am waiting for the new DLC and Patch Update for Europa Universalis 4, that should come out in the next month. And same goes for Victoria 3. Meanwhile I wait, I decided to, yes, give the first entry of Cities Skylines another go. If I cannot purchase/test-play the new entry at the moment, better as well to see what the first entry is all about in the first place, as I never really got into it. I hope it should give me a good thing to do, when it comes to electronic entertainment. I have some ideas for new drawings, too, I just have to put them into practice. October seems to be ending on a positive note. I would not go that far to affirm that, but it seems like we are starting November, the second month of Christmas Season, on a positive note. We are also missing but only a few posts before reaching 700 entries on the blog, that is absolutely insane!


Can never have enough of those flowers!! Okay, now returning to the topic in question…
Now, not all blog entries are created equally. Some blog posts end up better than others. I trust that to be a non-issue, concerning the quality of the posts, I am not doing a publication here… I just want to write and express my thoughts overall, without the burden of quality and demands. I don’t think that is a bad thing, let me be clear, but this blog is not about it. That does not mean I have no standards, either, quite the opposite, just that the blog is a more unconstrained environment.
Speaking of blogs and entries, there is a new update for iOs 17 available, for those that partake on their beta program, which I do, because I like Apple phones, and because I am a junkie for new UI and features… I also mention that because they added a Journal app for the phone, isn’t it nice? As for me, I already have the blog, I am not sure how much I’d be using it. I wonder how many more versions of iOs will I be able to update my iPhone 11 into. The device model is getting old. It still is an excellent phone by any metric, but the technology world moves forward. It will be an issue when it comes the time to update the phone, because Apple devices are astronomically expensive. I remember how hard it was for me to be able to afford my current iPhone, I had to ask my grandma for help, and dad, and mom, too. And it was not easy, at all, to convince them, a tendency that grows ever harder as I grow older and the economy around me worsens. I wonder what I’ll do when I finish college. My course is not going well, as I mentioned before, I lost all interest, desire, and just to keep pushing through is exhausting. I truly wish that next week, I can at least open the page of the college. But it is quite right that the situation is unsustainable. I can’t move any way or the other without having to give up something, and that is always a pain… I truly desire to have things figured out… but I also won’t change courses to something with a more evil and communistic curriculum. What terrible times the ones we live in, only bearable due to technological comfort. 
And with that, should we finish this post? I have written a lot and I am overwhelmingly sleepy. Therefore, a good excuse to wrap things up at where we are. I hope to return in the 31st to write a farewell to October and a hello to November… until then, wish you the best, my friend! See you again real soon!
