Valentine’s Day: More hassle than it’s worth?
Discuss. I’m not going to get into the details.
Fuck.

My leg has been better, as of late. I can walk without a
limp on occasion now, and it hasn’t been keeping me awake at nights. Perhaps if things continue down this path, I will be able to return to
long walks,
runs,
dancing, and
bouncing like a fool before I go absolutely crazy from being unable to move any faster than a
retarded turtle.
Until then, however, I
plod.

On
MANiC!, the webpage I share with darling
Jessica, I posted a quote from a book called “
The Hacker Ethic”, by
Pekka Himanen. The quote was about finding meaning within one’s life and activities, and how meaningful ‘
leisure’ is, is relative to the amount of
passion you put into other parts of your life.
Someone posted a comment asking “honestly
Jyro, where did your spirit go?” – ‘Jyro’ being one of the old nicks I used back in the
bbs/
warez/
artscene/
hacker/
whatever days. It really got to me.
I couldn’t tell you why, either. I don’t really think I’ve lost my ‘spirit’, most of the time... I worry about it, though. I worry it’ll happen, or that it has happened and I just haven’t noticed yet.
Maybe other people see something I don’t.

Nothing more to say.
