In Which we Wrap up February and I think of my upcoming appointments with the doctors...

Good morning, friend! Happy Saturday! The last week of February went by quite fast, and here it is, the end of such month, one to set the tone for 2026, or at least parts of it. I am happy to have you here today in the divagation store and society. How are you? As for me, I am okay, it is that moment of the month when food misses the fridge, and the gas misses the stove, it means it is almost time for more grocery shopping, to be done ideally as soon as possible, with the first day of March, or so. As for the month, I can say with some degree of fulfillment that at least it was a productive one. I have worked on 7 drawings in total, which is quite above average concerning this area. I did write about the same quantity on the blog as well, and I did reach around 900 entries, which I am so happy to have done it.  The weather has become decidedly hotter, given February is the apex of summer on that regard. I am dreaming of the rains that will come at some point, but for now I just hop...

In Which August Closes with a Bad Omen

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend!! How are you, today? Happy Saturday! How was your week, and how is the weather? I am overall okay. The week was fine, I'd say, marked sort of by videogame burn out, unfortunately... the weather has been still pleasant, thank God, I should enjoy as I can, because Summer is near, and already we are at the end of August. I really hope and wish today I could recover some enthusiasm over playing something, or drawing something. Most times these days I see little reason to get out of bed. 

It is the last day of August, which is always a bittersweet moment, it is the end of the birthday season, and unfortunately we grow closer to dreadful summer. Do I have any plans for September? I am not sure, I hope I have still the desire to draw something, I hope I can write nice journal entries, and I hope I may play some nice videogames, if I can indeed ger over the burn out I have been going through. Maybe I should give Civilization a bit of a break... It is frustrating to keep restarting a match ans have another civ build the wonders I so desire, making me lose the joy on the game for the moment. I could play this new game that was released for early access Thursday, Memoriapolis. It seems like a promising entry, that I hope may keep being developed. As of the moment of this writing, the reviews sit at 79% of approval, which is fantastic, if you think of all the other games that failed and keep failing over the past few years or so. The situation of games is such that it is safe to say we are in a digital dark ages on this genre of industry.

If only the decay was limited to games and entertainment. Where I live, the communists that lead the country are closing the siege on the dissenting voices that still exist. Most people are growing hostile to the bad forces of socialism-communism, and derivatives, but fewer are willing to speak up, and I do not blame them. I can only speak of myself, that is exhausted of so many bad news and their advances. They have moved to ban Twitter/X access in the country, which is a terrible development. Needless to say, they won't stop there, I am sure next elections will be much more probe to fraud and their dirty tricks. Their language is vitriolic and egregious, so blind they are by their own bias, they call us that are not socialists all sort of bad names. It would not be so bad if people would not fall for their framing of the debate. I used to fear for the worse, but with a hint of hope that the worst case scenario could be just a bad vision. No. I fear for the worse now based not on predictions, but on their actual moves. In the advanced stage of the dictadorship that spreads, they will, like grasshoppers, devour the remaining will of most, leaving moving corpses, that will applaud them out of fear and manipulation... 


Decided to have the image of this beautiful edifice in this post... given the bleakness of the thoughts, I debated if I should add any picture, but in the end, decided for the "yes" alternative.

I have not mentioned such political views and debates on the blog these days because as I mentioned, I am exhausted, and because there are so many things going badly, I cannot keep up. I am not sure how much I have to live my life till they come for me. I hope I am exagerating, but like I said, the fear is based on an increasingly bleak reality. Even if I am not harassed immediately, they will demand I clap in support of their moves and visions, and will demand I participate on rheir struggle sessions. It is an unfolding nightmare. I just hope, in the end, God, that sees all, judge people accordingly, when time comes. God loves the righteous and hates them, that sow chaos and resentment, so they can rule earth, as a consolation prize for not being able to pierce through Him.

So, September will begin in an atmosphere of terror unfolding in the background. I can only hope to enjoy what I have left of any hint of carefreeness. With those grim predictions, I close today's blog entry. I will be back soon, of course, won't stop writing, must keep going business as usual. Life moves on, until it won't be able to do so, but that is a problem for tomorrow, and the gospel tell us not to worry for that day, as it will worry for itself. I see you again at some point this new week of September. Wish you the best, my friend, dear reader of this post.
