Hello folks, good morning, just smashed a chorizo and egg omelette and finished watching ‘Leon: the professional” (directors cut) with @dayleeo because she has never seen it before and everyone should see the amazon Luc Besson and a very young Natalie Portman do their thing on screen together in that film, for me it’s a classic and certainly in my top ten.
At the end of the movie you hear a bit of sting which really took me back to the fantastic album ‘all this time’ which was recorded at stings Italian villa on the same day as the attacks on the trade center in america. I watched a documentary about this ‘live’ album being recorded and how they all came together and said they had to do it to show that they couldn’t be silenced or at least to do the album as a mark of respect of those that lost their lives on that incredible jolting day that impacted the world.
Some days in this van can really feel like we are actually operating a Tardis, like I’m the doctor and dayle is the doctors mate, some days it’s the other way around and I’m the doctors mate (no we don’t play doctors in other ways ha!) take this morning, I opened the door to snow, a blanket of snow across the field, covering the car — I thought someone was weird when I got up late around 10:30am and felt the floor feel oh so very cold.
Some routines however remain, some new in fact like having cod liver oil tablets and gingko leaf, although I’m not having that everyday because with coffee as well I’m literally manifesting a laser brain throughout the day, you gotta break up that day with fun, walking and general exercise too right? I’m glad I’ve got a partner that wants to do all those things, wants to be mobile and just up for whatever adventures we wanna get into.
Like it’s funny how things you do feed into your ideas and thought processes, we watched a great little documentary called ‘California Typewriter’ it was fantastic about legacy of typewriters and how so many people liked the permanence of the physical paper component and the clink and clonk of the hammers connected to the keys, they did a really good job to cover the typewriters introduction, repairs and proponents of using one in their daily lives.
it was fantastic and was smiling and nodding throughout realising that in some ways my words no longer exist just in a a note pad or a lonely website but are now together with lots of other words existing on many computers around the world.
We also watched another one called ‘Dealt’ the inspiring story of sixty-two year old Richard Turner who is renowned as one of the world's greatest card magicians, it was simply fantastic — it’s a must watch, well both are must watches actually, if you want to process something interesting today then check the both out, they certainly opened up my creativity and thoughtfulness pores while watching, both of us sat with our selected bottles of wines (we decided to get a bottle each!) — a late birthday treat, I’m told it’s ok to celebrate your birthday for at least a week.
we are all time travellers now
every time I turn up here at the keyboard recently I’ve felt like a digital time traveller, everything seems merged together, I’ve started to feel this overwhelming sense of ordering happening, things I need to do right now, consider for tomorrow, aim to have out soon, it’s felt very much like a race, every year when I reached my birthday I’d have this feeling, I guess it’s just the feeling of wanting to get everything in, our ultimate expression of who we are and what we are able to do while we are here.
i think crypto has a lot to do with the way i make my decisions now, writing has become my tether back to a reality that I have some level of control over, whenever I used to commute on the train or buses I’d pull out the iPad and wireless keyboard or the MacBook Air, I loved that little 11” thing even thou the screen was terrible — even in some of the dark moments, I’d write, write about where I was at, what I was doing.
even thou I’m not versed in the ways of market trading I do feel more accountable to each day than every before. I think it’s the fusion of the time dripping through the life hourglass and the ‘conditions’ that I’ve put on myself to be in a different place and space in time in the next few years, I think I’ve had a bunch of junction points in my life that have been physical space markers for me to stop, look up, looking around and realise I’m in the wrong space and it’s time to move.
if you were a kid in the eighties that grew up in computers and loved them you have already been living connected full time in the web, for the last few decades we have already been fully connected and immersed in this technology, just look at our social networks — I’ve been on youtube for over eleven years, twitter for twelve, forget VR we have well and truly lived inside this world inside a world for a long period of time already, it can be difficult to snap out to the real world outside the window.
the rise of the blockchain human
Just think of all the things that you did before blockchain, all the transactions you made on social networks that didn’t have any acknowledgement, all those dead and empty comment boxes, the amount of times you reloaded or revisited the page to see if anyone saw the effort and work you put in to be self expressive, to reach out, to try and build a remote connection with another human out there in the world.
Blockchain has already become a very important facet to the way I interact with the outside world, it’s my number one thing to learn and focus on, I want everything in my life to be blockchain powered, I want to see more creative mashups developed on the access to those human nodes of open data silos. Imagination I believe is the strongest things in the world that could actually save it from the path of destruction at times I feel it’s on.
time to top up the connectivity
Feeling the connection feeling throttled this morning, it’s five days over my usual PAYG connection and I’m sure I’ve already moved ‘terabytes’ of data this month on this 4g connection, time to load up that thirty five bucks to get that feed back to the mothership loaded up — don’t you feel like we are already our own little blade runners? I don’t know about you but I’m excited for the designer personal real life stim packs, designer human upgrades, after all, if we don’t understand it and are in control of it, who will be?
Ok, time for planning for the rest of the week day, nothing to intense, think I’ve already had my intense writing morning for the day — oh btw, great to see SBD at $8.22 — took a bit of my blogging rewards out, felt like I paid myself for yesterday and today and that kinda gives me the mental offset to concentrate on being relaxed out my output, thus allowing that output to be better because I’m not stressed about how to earn from my usual clients, is that not some kind of remote working utopia? Love that! :)
This week is gonna be a good week — I can feel it, expect video ;)
