Contrary to my original plan of having a 'lazy Saturday', I spontaneously spent the whole day out and about on my bike.
Simply to escape the city and enjoy the rural idyll that surrounds the outermost city limits. The further I cycled, the less I wanted to go back.
It may sound strange, but resting next to a cow pasture and smelling the typical (perhaps not exactly inviting) smell of cattle somehow gives me a nostalgic feeling of childhood and home.
Even though I like living in a city and enjoying its benefits, I often miss the quiet, sleepy afternoons and evenings in a village.

Even though I'm only taking a few vacation days at the moment, I'm noticing that after a few weeks (if not months) I'm finally getting some rest.

It may sound strange, but I'm really happy that I'm able to sleep more than half of the day on average (without feeling bad) and without a stressed-out over-thinking mode keeping me awake.

Somehow I've realized that every time I'm stressed/depressed (sometimes unconsciously), I like to cook/bake to relieve the stress.
Really strange habit of myself.
I'm not sure if more severe creeping depression means equaling better baking results, if so, it's probably going to go bad soon :D

After a few days, I've found the leisure to switch on my PC again and not linger on the sofa/bed right after work (all day)
Even though I don't really feel like spending my time on the computer at the moment...

It's a strange contrast to when I used to enjoy spending most of my free time on the PC.
I don't know if it's because I'm getting older and my interests are fundamentally changing, or simply because I'm completely oversaturated with computers due to my work as an IT specialist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In strange sounds
he hisses and calls it speech
but his presence is felt
and his wants are felt

He wants to go faster
He wants to be their master
The material world at his feet
His power from beyond

Well... I think the upcoming Amphi festival will be a funeral...
A funeral for my ‘kutte’ which is my first modified t-shirt ever, with which I literally started my entry into the cyber-goth scene (hard to believe that this was already 16 years ago).
But unfortunately I have noticed damage that is simply too ‘big’, the T-shirt will not survive the year.

On the one hand, yes, it's just a T-shirt and it really wasn't expensive, but there's so much history in this piece, so many clubs and festivals that the T-shirt has seen...
It's strange how much a T-shirt like that can drag you down...

Dear Karlos2006, I find you Aussies to be a strange and clannish lot. But your taste in music makes up for most of the pedestrian character traits.
