Indeed.
This Journal is far from interesting, is it not? All I have spoken of in the last many days is the book, the paperwork, the car, the Final Fantasy Tactics, and the money. And the worst of all, the one thing that could give it a bit of personality I am fatally unable to do: change the title to "Vineyards". If I used Blogger, I could do it, but then it would be a "blog", not a "Journal", and I refuse to have a "blog".
I dislike blogs in general, with exception of witty ones. In honor of friendship, I read all those depressed authors. The interesting part is two of these three are far more interesting when the authors are indeed depressed. Some people, when less than joyful, act like they have been locked up in Chateau d'If for years. But when not depressed their daily writing is so inocuous it parallels these.
Speaking of which, in the name of Apollo and Tanathos I swear never to post something saying I am depressed and I wonder where I went wrong and I wish I would die. And while in the subject, I swear never to post the lyrics to any song, no matter how fitting it may be at the time. And that reminds me of quiz-tests, about which I make no promises, but I trust your good senses that you will never want to know which Anime Neko or Anime Stereotype or Xena Character I am.
And that train of thought (image that crossed mind: "Magic Train" from Final Fantasy Tactics; I have to finish it before I am swalloed) naturally leads to another kind of blog, although mainly in Portuguese. My friends from USP are free to stay as far away as digitally possible from these, for they WILL hurt your delusional left wing ideals (including that one that claims saying "there are 54 million people in poverty in Brazil" before the elections then "we admit, there are only 28 million" after is perfectly normal).
The major problem in some of those, however, is the strong presence of Catholicism. Rome, from the sword to the cross, the massive mental leveling and domination did not change one bit. And at least in the time of the sword they had more fun gods!
Now that this post slipped across the lane to the other side of the road, I will manuever it back in position: car delayed until tomorrow morning, paperwork delayed until tomorrow afternoon, Final Fantasy Tactics going well (and I keep imagining Agrias with the voice of Ranma - the one thing preventing me from writing fanfic about it just to give her some actual voice is the obviety of such things).
Now taking suggestions on how to destroy the world in one shot (and/or guarantee a post-apocalypse worthy of great sci-fi writers).
