Friday Night Madness
tags: [journal]
It’s Friday, and it was a hell of a week. My focus eludes me from time to time, but I’ve been able to get a decent load done. Having a light dinner at the bar near my place, and for misery and holy punishment a bunch of kids, idiots as they come, are sited right next to me.
I wonder if they have enough self-awareness to know how ridiculous they look and sound. Not quite sure, and to be honest it’s of little consequence. My patience runs thin nowadays, for the same action I’m taking as well. People are always complaining about other people, but these kind of people just pollute existence.
You can fantasize about their destruction, but still you’re destroying your time and energy. There’s much more, and much more interesting things to explore. Just consider the marvels of the universe around you. The products of our species never seize to amaze me, and day by day I value more the development of psychotropic substances such as beer or any other alcoholic beverage, and coffee and many others.
Some keep me awake and empower my abilities, and others make life tolerable. Can’t figure out which is more important. Maybe the latter, as it actually might be a precondition for the first. If I went on a murderous spree, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy life.
Just yesterday I reached a milestone, as I completed the Le Carré’s “Smiley’s Series”. It was about time anyway, to take almost 3 years to read 8 books, but then again they weren’t my only focus. I’ve found many interesting and worthwhile books in the meantime. Since 2022, I’m still haunted by Frank Wilczek’s book, “Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality”. It’s short of an absolute masterpiece, and everyone should read it.
