This will be a short one. I have just read on the new on the death of one of Bitcoins highest holders. Mircea Popescu. https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/investing/bitcoin-billionaire-mircea-popescu-dead-at-41/news-story/aa857061cc8168bb86b2a11e8a23d235 I have never heard of this man till this morning when I read an article regarding their death. I did not know of him, not because I did not care or had no inclination to find out. All that I know is he died and was one of…
Stay the course. I am repeating this phrase over and over today. The stillness of time as I sit here in front of my computer has be thinking of how slow life feels in a lockdown. I think you feel the same too if you were cooped up inside your house waiting for the chance to walk out. It is even more pronounced since the weather is not very inviting outside. Dark clouds everywhere I look. I stare outside and wonder how I can make it out of this dreary feeling. Stay the…

Good evening everyone. I am just sitting here with the dark clouds lingering. The cold grasp of winters get on my emotional stability is weighing me down. The jail I have found myself in has darkened the world around me. This lockdown while some of my friends bouncelike because they can work from home. I am a social creature. I crave social interaction. I long for conversation with my friends. Being able to work from home is a blessing and I am thankful greatly. I just feel…

A different beginning for me today. Welcome everyone. My loved ones. My passionate ones. My beautiful luscious ones. I see your eyes all glittering under the moon lit stretch of sand. Holding my hand softly but warm. Tight like a sweet blossom. Ready to touch you in the bosom. I want to thank you for walking with me. I hope I am worthy. Of your love. Of your touch. Those silky lips I want to touch. Wet and warm I want to taste. Taste till I am sated. Tastes like sugar cream…
This platform I have found to be very temper mental with its flagging of spam. I suspect either I have been incorrectly flagged by the algorithm or there is a concerted effort by someone or some group trying to just ruin my stay here. I am not sure what it is that I am doing to warrant such a status on my profile. I just don't know...

Good morning everyone. What a night. The state of origin was blowing up in my house last night. I had beers while watching the thrilling game. Rugby league. If you don't know about this game I would recommend you read this. https://www.nrl.com/ Its the official site for Australian rugby league. Hard game. Fast action. Good competition. I didn't really play this sport growing up since I was and still am heavily into basketball. But. I always watch and follow the state of…

Good morning everyone. It's a Saturday morning and I have just finished watching this little clip on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHE442ISkUU&ab_channel=PowerfulJRE I must say I can totally agree with what is being said by this gentleman. He presents a good basis and I would implore you to listen to the discussion. I don't want to have you state it as having an open mind. After all listening is just listening. I see that still the world is a mess with the crypto…

Good morning everyone. I refrained from posting my usual daily post yesterday because I needed time to contemplate on what's happened. Big. News. On crypto. With the death of John McAfee. Then I hear that ex president of the Philippines also going to better places. First. I will not rule out Mr McAfee taking good life while in prison as a last ode of defiance to the powers that be. I am in the inclination that he took his life with his previous postings to make him…

Sometimes love just ain't enough. The lyrics is ringing in my head as I stare at the screen starting to write this post. Love is a wonderful thing. It makes the heart sing. Life flows through your veins. It flows like the autumn rains. Washing away all the sorrow. When life feels wrong, just follow. The road is always winding turns. Hold too hard it burns. Sometimes love just ain't enough. Yes, am listening to people singing and its filling my head with that little poem…

Had to really use longer exposure because the photos taken were all very dark. Playing around with the settings on the phone camera really is cool.
Good morning everyone, I am writing this with a heavy head. I see and feel that there is an air of a communistic dystopian mood that seems to be manifesting on how the place is looking. I don't like being controlled. I don't like being a puppet. I don't like not being in control. Thought control that Pink Floyd once belted out of their mouths in "The Wall" about the government and how they were brainwashing the youth at that time. I probably am not making sense but the one…

Another day, another opportunity. When your eyes open and take that slow breath in the morning. You feel refreshed and rearing to go. Then your eyes look at the market and your initial positive vibes fade. There is a sense of dread. There is a sense of foreboding. There is a sense of reality. Then I remember that when the world weighs down the values it's an opportunity. It's a chance to get ahead while the iron's still warm. Strike true and strike fast. I'm taking stock of…

Good morning everyone. It'll be a good day today. I tell myself that as I catch the train to work in this cold yet dry day. The train is warm though and I've worn four layers to stave off the cold. It's not all bad however, I can see the sun rising just behind the horizon. My light at the end of the tunnel. With cold hands I scrawl this entry on my phone. The joys of technology, we are all connected. So much so that what you do in your end of the line I am able to experience…

Used photo editing software to highlight the vibrant colours on its back as it faded when I looked at it later on. Used colour light curve function.
Good evening everyone! What an up and down cycle it has been for me. In the last two days I have been confused, angered, confused again, confused even more. Felt rejected. Somewhat dumb founded. And a little bit concerned. If you have followed me for a bit you will see that I really don't post that often. Yes I do it on a daily basis. At times I even post twice. One on my profile and maybe one on the Photography channel. Why was I confused? Well I like to think that I have…
It seems like either I've angered someone here and they have rated me as being bad or the platform itself is not liking my posts. Saying it because my last post before this one has had 37 hearts yet there is no value in them at all... Kinda disheartening to see that. If only I knew what rating in marked on them at least I know if it's a bad rating from someone or I know I'm not welcome here. Would be too much to ask if you could rate me up please?
