excuses


I haven’t posted anything in a while. In more than a year. As in nothing at all for 2018. Well, there are many factors,er, excuses I can think of why I'm in such a slump for quite some time now

Discipline. I just don’t have it. Before, I was committed to write at least five hundred words in a day. I even used to keep a journal for that. Now, my thoughts are just expressed on a tweet or two. So, no one else is at fault but me you see.

I write at work day in day out. My job entails writing a synopsis of what had transpired and expressed my "thoughtful observation" about it viz a viz the established processes. I might be using the same catch phrases or rehashing the same sentences over and over but hey it still writing. Of some kind. Anyways, one could argue that the writing style at work is a different from what I am blurting out in here. My counter argument is that I’m just tired. That’s all. Sure, I can face the computer again by the time I got home but my brains are begging not to write again please.

Just recently, I tried to write, in longhand mind you, but it only lasted for about a week.

I am also wasting my time consuming media content. Most of my free time is consumed by YouTube. I spend at least an hour everyday watching some random videos the algorithm has to offer. And then there’s Netflix of course. You know how it is when you go on binge watching mode.

And then there’s this issue about privacy. I am writing anonymously on this blog I know. However, there’s no denying that there are some people on this planet that knows my real identity. You know, those in the position or those who have the technical know-how that can track me down. That’s  the downside of having this technology in these troubled times that we live in. Nothing can be private anymore as long as you are using a piece of tech. Am I being paranoid? Yes.

So there. Anyways, I hope I can post again something soon. Haha.

samsung internet browser with chrome bookmarks



I never used the stock internet browser of my galaxy phones. For the longest time, I simply use Google Chrome because I want my bookmarks from my desktop browser readily available on my phone. It would be too much of a hassle to build folders of bookmarks from scratch.


I just discovered there is a work around. One would just have to add the extension called Samsung Internet on their Chrome desktop. Once logged in (using the same credentials you used on your phone of course), it will automatically import all your bookmarks. Sweet.





So far, the Samsung Internet Browser works fine for me with no hiccups. I must say it is a tad faster than Chrome too. I also like how some of the functions are just below the page for easy access. 






But what I really love about this browser is that it supports ad block extensions. Isn’t that neat? My only gripe about this app is its icon that resembles the planet Saturn. Way before, it was just a globe. Based on the advertisement of the app, the current icon also represents Earth- just spinning around. Lame.

unhappy

I am. For the longest time I suppose. I have never been truly happy. Like 24/7 kind of happy, Sure I have a couple or two moments of pure bliss. But that’s what they are. Moments.

Most of the time it is shitty. Every day of the week. Different variations, different degrees but still the same shit.

So what do I do to ease my weary mind? I don't do drugs and I am not planning to ever. Yes, I have oral sex every weekend but that’s just about it.

If listening to music fails me, I chant. Hell yeah, I chant like a freaking Buddhist monk. Silly right for an atheist like me. But you got to understand. In some way or another, I have to trick this fucking brain of mine to shut the fuck up.
So yeah. That is what I do. It has been a couple of days now that I chant “om nama shivaya”. In various styles mind you.

You could blame the book Eat, Pray, Love. Hey, it is a good book. Well, I have not finished yet but so far it was funny. And sad. I promise to be done with it by the end of this month. And yeah sure I will watch the move again.


So cheers to my mundane life. I am writing this because I am really down. Like several weeks depressed kind of down. So I guess I’d better write again and revive this blog.
