as one goes up
the other goes down
in circles if you have enough squares
around like a horse race on a clock face
don't be so negative they say,
it's okay i was born that way,
light and dark it's all the same -
To new beginnings
Why write publicly then? One reason would be because like cooking, it's more fun when it's shared. I'm writing anyway, so let's organize those rambling and post them out there. Maybe someone finds some value in it. Probably not, but one can try. But mostly, this is an exercise in trying something that is hard for me, and I would like to challenge myself.

Let It Be Enough
Worried about your performance at work? Sit satis; let it be enough.
Worried about whether your paycheck can cover all your bills? Sit satis; let it be enough.
Worried about whether your offerings to your gods are sufficient? Sit satis; let it be enough.

Please don't reply to anything I write as though you know what I mean. In doing so, you'll likely be hurting yourself with my words, yet holding me responsible.

Cursed love.
There is that guy, who looks kinda weird. Long hair, no beard, and it almost seems like he aims to be a girl. His voice is much more feminine than anyone would expect from a man. He also mentioned on his profiles that his pronouns are She/Her. Yet he has not been declared as transgender by himself publically and formally. He listens also to some... umm... "Undertale" like music... in general there are vocals... but they are not as ravish/brutal as mine.
So as a typical schizo retard, who likes tin foil hats, is interested in polishing the rough stone and working for the god, and cried while watching neo/-nazi propaganda, I tried to stay away from him because of the possible huge gap between our mindsets.

Record Player Table
When we moved here two years ago we brought all of our records with us, but left behind the record player itself. Since then we've tried to fill that gap in our home, but lacking any space to put our collection and a record player we kept putting it off. Wanting to do some real woodworking, for the first time since high school, a record player table was an obvious first project for me.
If I said that this project took 5 months to complete it wouldn't be the full story; really it took a few hours, every other weekend, over 5 months. It was still by no means a quick or easy job. The size of my workspace is very limited, so I only have space to store and work with hand tools. All boards were cut to size with a hand saw, chiseling all joints was done with a chisel and mallet, and sanding was done with good old elbow grease.
