Back to basics


I was lazily going through the blog trying to decide whether I like or hate the new look and I realised that, even if I have made it with six posts per month so far, I have not posted anything with much content in 2013 yet, not that this blog ever had much content, but at least there were always a few posts were I could let go the frustrated writer within and go with the fun ironic part of daily life.

Maybe I was putting too much preasure on myself with all the "You have to post more often" thing, maybe it was better to wait for the right story to post, maybe I was doing this all wrong, maybe Lizzy Bennet was right, and I should be “unwilling to speak [write], unless we expect to say [post] something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb”. When did I stop thinking post-savvy and decided that a quote and a doodle would save this blog from oblivion?

Were those ideas a sign that I was becoming a boring person? The lack of fresh stories had turned my blog cheap. Easy. All in all... BORING. I couldn't remember the last time I posted a "Ten worst things..." and boy! those were fun posts to write.

Is it time for a break?

I don't think I need a break, I just need to set things right, and maybe, if I take this week of holidays from work (if they ever let me) and relax, maybe my fingers will be itching with stories to type yet again, maybe, hopefully.

I'll see you soon, but until then... have fun.

Friday's quote VII

Here I was, Friday evening at work, waiting for comments to a report... and I remembered I owed you a quote! Quotes seem to be the only post that keeps this blog alive lately, it may seem stupid, but if I star posting one silly easy post once a week, it may be easier to post twice a week after that, right?

Anyway, I was talking about patience and waiting, and today's theme for the quote seemed then so obvious...

He who can have patience can have what he will.”
Benjamin Franklin
 
 
Well, Mr. Franklin, as much as I admire you and you are wrong. "He who can delegate can have what he will" (in the short term at least). And I walked out of the office, for the whole week.
 
Frohe Ostern!

Friday's quote VI

I watched the las episode of Clone Wars season 5 last night and I don't know when I'll recover from the shock.

So today's quote is the opening quote of the episode.

May the force be with you.

Postcards to Stockholm: Flu me to the moon


Dear sis,

You know what is worse than being sick? Being sick with mom and dad.

The flu has got us well, and oh how I suffer! Fun part is the competitions. Who has the highest temperature? Who complains more? Whose pain is more oddly similar to something?

After 27 years of perfecting the art of being sick I think I have won each and every competition so far, then goes dad, he is quite the expert too.

Ugh how I suffer.

Such is life
