I don't know where my mind is. Trying to write and nothing comes out. Have some more music instead.

Monuments for awful events
I float by in a daze on the freeway
He can whine about different times
But me, I'm fine with the mirrors far away
For the mills in the valley to function
Rain gonna fall on the hills where we hide
Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean
Feed the pike, making everything alright

I have listened to this song probably dozens of times in the past few weeks and haven't tired of it. Just such a gorgeous composition, imo.



Wanted to share a different song from her (check out "Body to Flame") but alas it was not on youtube, so this will have to do. I really like this one too, but it takes longer to really get going. It's worth it once it does, though.



They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

I am only an aimless soul
heading into a pure, black void



And there's a centipede
Naked in your bedroom
Oh, and you swear to God
The fucker's out to get you



There's a liar, a liar on the stage
With a young child's eyes
And it happens all wrong and only
Half of it's seen from here

Where has all the time gone?
In separate ways it runs long
A hundred miles built upon us
It's tearing at the seams of all that's been

I'm learning to program. I can now create a website, style it, make it at least reasonably responsive, and add basic javascript/jquery elements to it. I also have learned a good bit of python and am super excited to learn more.

I have been working in a job/field that I hate for more than a decade and it is time to do something new. I haven't felt this challenged and intellectually stimulated in a long time. At least since learning calculus. It feels good.

For the most part in school I always felt like it was 90% memorization and maybe 10% real learning. And since school, my brain has sort of powered down. I mean, I read and I write and I keep myself creatively active in a lot of ways, but I don't think that was enough for me. My current work has never been rewarding or stimulating. It never will be. I think programming would be.

Do any of you code? Anyone do codewars or anything similar? What's the last thing that you learned that made you excited?

To whomever gifted me an anonymous 1 month membership:

you are far too kind and I thank you. Many hearts.
