When does it end?

Measure up, they say  “Be like the others,  it’s not that hard”  But I see the others  And they’re dying as much as I am, heart, body and soul   Measure up, they say  To the ones who work now, relax later  To the ones who we have lost, long ago  Work and die now,  be dead later     Measure up, they say  When the cup has no bottom  and each accomplishment,   each success  falls into the void    Measure up, t

KETEK OF WORD 126, WORDS OF KETEK

THIS TOOK SO LONG Maker sees and crafts his things They give the things they make design and so as they finish, they start anew Making things with no breaks Weaver makes her strung things bright She bobs the needle for colors true Up and down again, vibrance, the yarn tying For her picture is fully tight. Creator watches his art run. he ponders over what he's made He's what?  Over pondering, he runs Art his watches creation. Tightly full, is picturesque She’s for ty

Questions not for today

Having thoughts not my own  Having doubts not my own  Having opinions not my own  Having experiences not my own    Every day not my own  Every second not my own  It started as a moment,   a moment of weakness    Moments turned days,  and days turned weeks,   and weeks turned months,  and months turned years    Now noting is my own,  only a copy of someone else  A whole life lived,  but was it my own?

Using permissions and privacy settings

This honestly should have been one of my first entries, but better late than never. Permissions in their most basic form are the ways that your devices manage what apps can access what sorts of information. Managing what applications have access to that information is necessary for any sort of privacy. The exact permissions your device recognizes depends on your OS, but generally they have the following SMS Contacts Photos and Videos Nearby Devices Camera

VPNs the fact from fiction

Before we begin I would like to thank today's sponsor Nord VPN! Okay, jokes aside it's been a second since I did one of these, and in part it was me looking into more information, and just dealing with life things. Please forgive me.   Now I need to address some misconceptions. VPNs do not enhance your cybersecurity, your browser should automatically update your http connections to https connections. If not, I can walk you through the steps to configure that. A VPN cannot keep you

Chapter 40

This is my reaction blog for Wind and Truth. Beware of spoilers! Index post here.  Title: Stuko Stem Um, why are we using those chess terms again when this is a Szeth chapter? Is there some analogy to the tactics being used in Azimir? Does Szeth play Towers?  Icons: Tanat, Vav I’m really not sure. Maybe their inverses of not-dependable and not-healing will match the decline and moral abdication of the stone shamans? Very wild guess here. Epigraph: Sleepless say that the Herald

Chapter 39

This is my reaction blog for Wind and Truth. Beware of spoilers! Index post here.  Title: Between Two Realms Something funky is going to happen with the oathgate, or we’re going to get a metaphor for the no-man’s land that develops between the besieged armies. Icons: Chana and Jez Destruction and death, I’m betting, and Adolin is still trying to be in charge. Oh, I’m hoping that Chana isn’t here for her Spark essence, because that would mean they light the fires way too early. It’s

Chapter 38

This is my reaction blog for Wind and Truth. Beware of spoilers! Index post here.  Title: Those Who Subtract Szeth meets the raiders and their consequences, and likely has low self esteem. Icons: Ishar and Shash With the raider attack, this has got to be the blood and sinew essences. Not a good sign. Yeah, finding the heathen stonewalkers sitting on a stone and by the rock that your family semi-blasphemously moved is not going to make you immediately discount the idea of retribut

Chapter 37

This is my reaction blog for Wind and Truth. Beware of spoilers! Index post here.  Title: People Who Build Well, that sounds like a culture clash explanation for Kaladin is incoming… except no, this is an Adolin chapter, not a Team Shinovar one. Do the Azish have anything like that? Or is Adolin just going to be musing about the construction of his newest battleground? I’m probably speculating way too much. Icons: Jez and Kak Kak for resolute defense, and possibly for the metal ess

Chapter 36

This is my reaction blog for Wind and Truth. Beware of spoilers! Index post here.  NOTE: Okay I think it's pretty telling that I stopped for months after I got to a Szeth flashback chapter, and then didn't find the motivation to pick it up again. Which is sad because  prior to picking up this book I was really looking forward to getting his backstory and learning about the Shin society in particular. Unfortunately I'm really not feeling it. Hopefully I'll get over that.  Also despite

1/7:19-8:12

The waters prevailed over the mountains, covering them seven meters deep.    life is death  we struggle to find who we are and see so clearly who we were by then we have died the old drowning in empty time    to stay the same is to give up rebirth  a walking grave, static and stagnant  a corpse moving with the current  drowning in a world of water    Don’t let yourself be pulled under  listen to your conscience  fly above th

Ode to something in the past

Do you remember? When we talked about the future, like we had any idea of what was to come? When the days seemed to never end? Like time slowed down   Do you remember? When we thought it would all end up alright  Me something professional, you something creative Like we had any control in the matter   Do you remember? It was so long ago, so I doubt you do But I do Like it was just yesterday…

Where I’ve been

Proteus   for the first time practice makes perfect   wake up alone work hours  among people you don’t know wind down down deep worn out you finally find yourself going to sleep   and despite not seeing your family the illusion, the cage, makes you feel free   and despite the exhaustion painting your bones you realize your world feels a little less alone   for the first time practice feels pe

Opportunities

Opportunities present themselves And you must seek opportunities And your so bright And you’ll succeed And they don’t know The opportunities? They present themselves until theyre  All that’s left.   And then Me. A husk of a child. The opportunity crushing me The “such a bright young man” crushing me I am a boy.  Whos a girl. Whos so bright. And won’t live past 20. I ask why. Why. Why. Why. I do things
