In Which we Wrap up June and announce the height of a joyful Winter

Hey there, my good friend, dear reader of this post! I am happy to see you! Cheers! How was yout weekend overall? Can you believe we are already at the gates of a new month? Sweet July, the month of the height of winter! Rain, cold winds, fresh grey clouds, it is one of my favorite times of the year, if you don't count Christmas or my birthday! It is a month of the mid-year vacation for students and some teachers. There are things to look forward to, in short. One must keep going business as usual. And, as for me, regarding how I've been... I did have some challenging days, where I was plagued by apathy and deep melancholia. The medicine does help me when it avoids those conditions to form into a storm, but they don't have the ability to avoid the bad tidings when the come. I miss therapy, I hope I can return to it, but for now, with the finances being as they are... it may take a while. In any case, at least the weather is endurable. I love winter.  Not all went badly, I h...

In Which Human Action Cannot be Predicted a priori

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Saturday, and I wish you the best! How are you, today? How is the weather? As for me, I am okay! Woke up earlier than I should, which is a pattern that I've experienced since around 2020... but I woke up in relatively good spirits! I did have a very weird dream, but apart from that, I am fine, even... I do miss dearest of friends... I dream with the day where we'll have more time for conversation, how great he is and how I admire him. I praise him to heavens as he deserves such words. I have also another friend I appreciate, he is so amusing, handsome and charming, great to chat with. I write here sometimes with him in mind... another guy I'd praise to heavens as he deserves it. But, with the melancholy of missing friends and wishing to chat more with anyone I cherish, I am fine. With the financial troubles that plague my life nowadays... even so, I am fine. I mean, what else is there to be said, on this field? And, how would I spend this day where I find myself in reasonable spirits? Maybe I will doodle something. Hopefully I will find strenght to do it. I have two sketchbooks to fill anyway, plenty of sheets. I have been considering returning to Europa Universalis, it is an old reliable game. I hesitate as it can be extremely frustrating, but I still think about it not in avoiding the game, but trying it out, it is a huge adventure anyway... what else to meddle into? Maybe some Anno? I tried more Anno 1800 in this early morning, and it is not a bad game, even if most content for it have been released already, alas. Maybe I could try some more Sims 3, on a different genre? Not sure. I even considered visiting the horrid bland dollhouse, but I don't know if I am that desperate to find something to do. Whatever I can do on the dollhouse, I can do on Sims 3 and better, except for building houses, that point goes to the dollhouse, alas. We cannot have it all.

How is the weather? Here, it has been hot and miserable, as it is the pattern of this wretched summer. Have you been reading anything? I have been reading my biography on queen Maria Theresa, she is very much a human! I think this book has been a nice journey, I have been finding it enriching as it paints a very good picture of the 18th century Austria. I am even inclined in seeing more of the author, though I am not sure, least of all I find out she is a leftist, which would discredit many of her words with me. There was a time I wanted to know all about people. Today, the least I learn of them, the better. I don't want to hear of their personal dramas, their ideologies, no. I want just to stay out of the zone of people that may bother me greatly. God knows I have been hurt in the past, greatly, specially by those marxists, evil kind that plagues the earth. Well, it is in their nature to hurt, marxists, so I should only lament my path has crossed with their wretched one... 



I have some college activities I'd like to do, amongst them a text I have to write. It has to have 15 lines on why history is not an exact science but a human one. For me, it is obvious why, and yet I don't know how to explain... You know what life is, but how to explain it with words? It is a human science because life is not a crossed line where you can predict the path of a person, human action cannot be predicted, even if everything seems fairer when you look back at it. There are immense factors at the disposal of a person to make her take decisions, one person alone! Imagine a dozen, a thousand? How can it be a natural science? 

Anyway, with that nice reflection, though I am not sure if my peers will like it, maybe I am not making much sense, I must finish this blog post! Of course, I will return again here to this lovely publication as soon as I can! Most likely next week, for some more thoughts and ideas! Until then, wish you the best! Cheer, and a wonderful weekend!
