Silent Hills, french classrooms, tiny notes

-
 Hi, I am back from the hole. The name of this hole is Counter Strike 2. While I am not great at shooters I got an itch recently to pewpew things again. After giving Rainbow Six Siege 10 years of my life I refuse to give Ubisoft (Tencent) any more attention or my money. While there were other options, none of them are as appealing:
  • I feel I am too old for Valorant
  • COD!???
  • Battlefield too expensive and in this case no money to EA
  • I guess others I have not thought about

On a similar topic, M and I finished Silent Hill 2 as well as Silent Hill 3. Both were seriously good, although my personal favourite was 2. (3 was too Cultic(?) while 2 was a little guy having a shitty day). I'll share random screenshots which I sent my brother (SH3 is his favourite).

This week I started french classes! They are late in the day, around 18h00 until 20h00 and while really interesting its a bit tiring. Mind you they were only my first two classes this week but still. I got lost the very first day since it was a part of the city I have never been too, I must have ran around for like 10 minutes. Being in the class feels a bit funny since the courses are normally for exchange students, there are a lot of nationalities and so many young students. Nonetheless, I am happy to have started and happy with my level of oral, my writing still needs training.

Also related to the absence is, funny enough, blogger. I found I like the distance from the social networks so I try to stay away from Tumblr et al. I like to search for the blogs and information myself instead of being fed content. I feel happy with this transition. Not so happy with me not writing more. Also sometimes I find myself unlocking my phone and saying to myself no, there is nothing there only to lock it again,

 

Me checking everything is good before going to bed.

These are plently of random thoughts. Hope to have a more clear idea later. Oh yeah, bought an Interpol vinyl. That was cool!

Small things for the future, Jimbo, and planning required

Doing small things for future us.         This post I saw in Tumblr made me want to start doing little stuff for M and me. Is nothing big. But picking up stuff, cleaning, washing the dishes before going to bed, put water in the heater for the coffee tomorrow. Is small things that will help us. I have to create a habit. Habits that I will work not to lose. Is the same as the exercises we do at home. Small things that add up and keep us for a future together. For future us. I just had to clear that thought from my mind since I had it while cleaning this afternoon.      I see post from my peers and I just think I have nothing to say. Nothing to say other than have to work in this texts. Right now I work before going to bed and that is the days I am in the computer. I keep trying to keep this separated from my phone. I do not want to keep checking it all the time as I do with Tumblr already.      Still going through my Interpol listeni...

Hello world

Hello to my idea of a blog and journal. I come here with hopes of community and since is similar to a new year objective I set myself to. I was already thinking I should be sharing more this year (sharing in the social media sense). Since I started complaining there is no connection with others in Tumblr, and also last year I did not post so much in ig, which is the only way my family and other keep updated on my life (living so far and all that), I told my self I should be sharing more. More in messages online and sharing opinions and also like not hiding when I am impressed by a new interest.  Also M (my wife) likes when I post something of our family in ig. So yes, I feel a journal, a blog (and maybe knit thigh community?) is something I can start now. I will try since the idea of keeping alive seems harder, mostly because I would like to keep it in my computer only. The last months of last year I wanted to leave behind the horrible grasp my smartphone has on me. I also stopped ...
