15/3/20 ***Tennis Day

I woke up sharp at 6:00 am.  It was a good rest.

I am fully alert.

I think I'll continue reading the Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.  I think I should not forgo reading.  It surely is therapeutic.

I feel like listening to Secrets:


Maybe I hate Mark Manson because he reminds me of myself.  I'll give him another chance.  If after this I still hate him I start reading Unbroken.

Right now I feel like setting myself free,  Just floating aimlessly like a plastic bag caught in a twirling gust.

I realized that while I need to [] (keep) shrinking my perimeters to the minimum, I need to expand my mental horizon.  That means I can keep on adding to my personal experience or I expand my mind based on the experience of others.  The best way to do that is by reading.  I have so many books to read.

Not all books are worth reading.  But if I am to follow Ray Bradbury's advice, I should keep reading as much as I can.

I enjoy writing to you Sarah.  It is not so much an intellectual discourse as it is a casual conversation.  I realized that with books I don't need to go through mindless acquisitions.  For example I can read the 100 Legendary Knives and don't need to own 100 knives.  I have so many books to read.  One whole library of them.

What I should not do is let my mind vegetate.  Writing to you keep me alert.  I am learning every day.  I learn new vocabulary, grammar and I learn to spell correctly.  Of course I need to search for inspirations.

I figured I should totally do away with Tweeting TraXX.  I'm just making a fool of myself.  If I have a shred of self esteem left inside me, I should stop the crazy Tweets.  After all I want to go for 3 years isolation.

My Google storage is running low.  I might have to subscribe pretty soon.

------------------

The buying has to stop.  I was a consumer all my life.  Where does that get me?  Nowhere...  I tend to have things in access.  So many things I do not use.  Now, money is a different thing.  MONEY CAN GROW!  Things cannot grow.  I sho[w] (should) seriously start saving money.  Not for anything but for the sake of saving.  For sure I need these things in the future:
  • Biannual dental checkup
  • A new PC every 5 years
  • A new handphone every 5 years
  • A running shoes every 3 years
  • A nice meal every 3 months
  • Going to the movies occasionally
Most importantly I should stop buying books.  I should read eBooks.  They are free.

Even with eBooks I should treat them as commodities.  After I finish reading I just delete them.  That saves me a lot of storage.  I know it's a matter of time before I start subscribing to Google storage.  I had utilized 80% of my storage capacity.  The only way to do it is to delete the eBooks.

OK Sarah, I'm ready for tennis.  Let's go easy today.  After this I want to read.  So I'll touch base with you again in the evening.

Bye darling...
