Try to drag myself to my drum set and start practicing again. Max raids and breeding have been sucking up far too much of my time.

I follow none of them because I'm 30 years old, to be quite blunt. I need hard evidence that breaking a mirror is going to cause me some kind of harm or "bad luck" in the future. There is no evidence. Ever. It's just some stuff someone made up to fill time, or to scare people. And besides...

133 Kill me.

What does it do?

I guess I just can't shake the feeling that something is truly wrong with me physically. Always had health anxiety. But during this pandemic, I put off going to the doctor for over a year because it seems to me the perfect place to catch COVID, even in Finland where cases are (relatively) low. I...

Panicking.

Pardon me for asking, but how does swearing make you "look bad"?

I try to as often as I can, but the current state of the world has really disillusioned me. It was disillusioning enough before COVID struck and humans began to show their truly ugly sides in turn. But, I can't say that I'm not happy to be alive, and I'm a very lucky man in general...

So, I really like the game Hades...

I'm just a technophile, and as long as I have the means, I'll keep upgrading them without shame. I usually end up giving my last-gen stuff to charity, anyway. I can't stand to see things just sitting around collecting dust.

It's... okay. I still haven't made any friends, and I've found that to be due to a combination of my introversion + the Finnish culture of being very closed off and cold towards foreigners, by and large. Still not used to the endless winter nights, but the endless summer days are better to...

My wife. She's about the only joy I find in the world these days. Everything else seems to just be going through rote motions.
