Ani Was Writing

      The bird did it.      That darn bird.      I don't think he realizes what he's done.     With this, I can plan the new path. The new timeline. The one that the Creator could not see. But I could. I could always see it.      Just remember this, mortals.     The good work you put in with good intentions can bloom into new possibilities. The effort you put in that is beyond your own ego will change things more than you can imagine. That is the true path to changing things for the better.      But for now, as I swim through this Void to my destination, I can still hope. I can still pursue the goal I've had in my golden blood for some time now.      Getting rid of the Outsider. Somehow.  ~ Greetings Gerald, As you can tell from the energy of this letter, this is not your wife. She is a little -let us call it preoccupied- with trying to reach you. And with this new little...

    This Valentine's Day will probably come and go for me this year.      Much like previous years, I am not in a relationship with someone, let alone someone who is excited to show some tokens of love to me. Which is fine. I will probably be sad about it toward the evening when I hear about how all the couples in my life are doing. Social media will show me both lavish displays and heartbreaking temper tantrums. I know how this day goes for most of the public displays of love or "love," depending on the situation.      But I'm jaded this year. A lot of my emotional energy is already drained as it is. So I may just use this day to do what I can to restore myself.      Chances are, in a few hours, I will be playing games with my group of friends that are jokingly called "the Civ bitches." Or maybe not (it depends on what everyone's plans are for the day). And I will probably have dinner like I normally do on Saturdays. Maybe my famil...

      I have been watching a lot of people that are idiots for the sake of being idiots online, often to the enragement of those watching their online content. Lolcows, they get called. In the past, I used to be readily aware of two said lolcows: Amber Reid and Chantal/Foodie Beauty.     Since then, I've moved away from them only to find more. And I'm about ready to find a more creative outlet for my thoughts concerning all of these people and what I know of them.      Debating on writing a novel. Still debating it. If you happen to see this post in the ether of the Internet, I would love to know what you would think. I'm mainly on Discord, Instagram, and Threads. I am eliminating any other social media platforms I have slowly, so don't bother to find me otherwise.     Otherwise, there are also plans for other fictional works. I will be sure to let y'all know closer to the summertime.

 The Gravedigger's Archaeology By William Archila     As the start to 2026, this was definitely a rattler.      Normally, I go for something a hair lighter than this. Kind of thought this would be more comedic than it was. But this... This wasn't it.      This book is heavier, given the current context of events. It talks a bit about the grit of life, the spiral that life takes down to its inevitable death. And how even death isn't the end, but another path cycling back up to life in various ways. The grit is what gives it the endless nature of these things. The constant struggle to do more, do better, or do different.      At the end of the book, I received a reminder of the futility and ultimately the frivolity of life. Which in itself is an important lesson that I will be thinking about for the next month or so.
