Thoughts in a non-deterministic way.

準備夾菜，只見部分食堂大盤零星擺了幾個瓢與夾，和應該是放用過夾子的小桶，殊不知後者是共用夾。 不見秤機，有些困惑，但耳聞附近有一間風評不佳的自助餐，看到牆上貼著「以量計價」的看板，心裡有個底。 老闆娘接過我的選菜擺桌上，手將紙盤稍稍撥挪了幾公釐後，既不瀟灑、也不慎重、更不猶豫地下了宣判： 『一百二。』…

Nice backpack! Yesterday we saw an ad for a free spot in a shared living community. It was a spot for a tiny house in a big land shared with 10 other families. We applied right away but unfortunately…

I’ve been looking forward to writing this new diary entry for a while, and it only took me about two years to come back to writing it. Why so long? Plenty of reasons. And they have been piling…

Probably to own a self sustaining business. Something that can generate enough revenue that grows with the inflation, and not against it. That is all we want in life, isn't it? The reason for it is…

I believe in preparing for things, which manifests in ways like making a 150-row spreadsheet of songs I have done or might like to do at karaoke, each notated with their highest note, subjective…

A double-week catch-up: gym streaks, a new router, and a chaotic Bellevue trip via LA featuring five-hour delays, missed connections, and Mr Murphy at every turn.

Is school truly suited to the education of such young children, or is it mainly suited to the "functionality" of parents in society — meaning their ability to work?

Reflections from my first month of unemployment

15th june to 21st june

A weekend of visiting Gamestop, going to a museum and enjoying some food.

Now I know why I don't like to write stuff that requires links. Research! I want to post NOW!!!

My friend suffered a terrible loss in their family. There is no easy way to help. It's like watching a accident occur from your car window as you pass buy. You want to get out and help but, what…

I rested. Watched TV, talked about football, ate an orange sherbet ice-cream, attended a book launch, outlined a life vision. Medo texted me saying he went to watch the game with the lads because he…

Dear Dad, It's the longest day of the year. And you have not been a happy camper at all, so the day is sort of... sucking. I heard running water coming from your room after we got you fed, medicated,…

I thought it would be nice to take the scenery in for a bit.
