Things I’ve learned recently:
- It’s tempting to write expressions of moral outrage, like “Does anybody remember justice?”, but then you remember that yes, most people do, but they’d rather reach for revenge or outrage instead. Justice takes too long. It’s also too easy for justice to accept that the wrongdoer might not be so wrong after all, so… yeah. Outrage! Revenge! So much easier!
- Things I’d like to do more of in the coming year:
- Exercise. In particular, get more core working better again – my back is a struggle for me.
- Practice music, with dedication, rather than noodling a lot. I’d hope writing more music would fall under this, too.
- Write more, and with more discipline.
- Think of more resolutions worth implementing within reason.
- Figure out this stupid Gutenberg editor, which seems fundamentally limiting for some reason.
- I think “It’s no better to be safe than sorry,” a lyric from a-ha’s “Take On Me,” is an excellent indicator of political leanings.
- Cats like to type. They type gibberish, though.
- Happy New Year, everybody. May this year find you healthy, happy, productive, and manifest.
