My Thoughts On Movies, Sonos Speaker 5, And The Future Of My Website
I have been on vacation for about a day and a half so far. I have made some mistakes as of late, and I am falling into the sunk cost fallacy. I have been watching the twilight zone. Mind you, I am in Emerald Isle North Carolina, and what did I choose to do with my time? Watch “The Twilight Zone”, spending too much time trying to get things to work which aren’t working. Examples of this include:
- Trying to setup black and white on mpv, failing multiple times to get it working. It turns out that the Sonos player only works over wifi and airplay. I suppose the technology works better than bluetooth, I am sure. In my eyes, it doesn’t. Requiring a Sonos app and or an iOS device, doesn’t seem healthy in the world of technology. A device like a speaker should work out of the box, and be able to communicate with a speaker via bluetooth. This technology has been around since 1999? That is my guess. Just because it is old, does not mean that it is bad. That is a modern fallacy we often fall into. We always want bigger, better and new, but eventually a aspect technology can be so well engrained it doesn’t have to change any more. Now, I am able to use a aux cable, and honestly that makes more sense anyways. So, my complaints earlier are targeted towards someone who frequently uses bluetooth. It is also a nitpick since this resort has many other things like a hottub, a nice dock to go kayaking, multiple kitchens, to nitpick over no aux is too much. I will look for an aux and hopefully I will be able to use this beautiful speaker soon. The speaker seems very lit, but I haven’t tested it out yet.
Regarding music, I have been downloading all the music I listen to. Much like television and movies, I prefer to have my videos and music. It creates a more organized mind, and another example of this is bookmarking pages on Brave. While that works, bookmarking can only go so far. With having a file, so much more flexiblity is gained. I can move my files around devices, and I will always know where to go if I want to listen to something. It is truly amazing.
I have also been reading a book on the occult. The individual is Dion Fortune and the book is all about Psychic Self-Defense. Last night, I watched a movie called “The Others” starring Nicole Kidman. In this film, Nicole Kidman plays a women whose children are afraid of light. The two kids have a hypersensitivity to light, and so the mother must lock every door behind her. She also closes every curtain.
Three different individuals come to the manor and they are looking to take care of the home. These individuals are the gardener and the two different maids. The head maid, acts weird throughout the film but at the end we realize that Nicole and her two kids passed away and are ghosts. It turns out that the maids and gardner are ghosts too, and the ghosts that we thought were ghosts were actually alive. It is a twist we didn’t expect but we are pleased to watch. Something like that is so good of a twist that the twist is actually bad. I would rate the twist a solid 6. My rating on movies are somewhat random, I remember giving the movie Weapons a 9 but I gave the movie Naked Gun a 4. Naked Gun was a good flick but honestly a bit weird. So weird that is why it got a 4. I would like to write more blogposts, but I always stop myself from posting. I don’t care about Grammar and Spelling, and I do but at the same time I would rather word vomit on my website for the time being so I can get my thoughts out there and so there is a record of my thoughts on the internet. I used to write my blog entries in a diary but the problem is I am unable to get those entries online. Sure, posting online strips away the personal aspect in a diary, but again, I am cool with that. I can just write fewer entries in my diary and focus on putting my entries on my website. Also, I am calling it a diary but someone my age should call it a Journal. Like, I don’t know if this is true but I feel that a Diary describes the type of Journal. “Journal” is vague and does not paint the picture that I am trying to paint. Diary does explain what I am trying to say. The journal is private and it includes the thoughts I have but I wouldn’t want to share to others. I would say gossip about other people is something I would do in my diary, and I don’t feel ashamed about that since I would gossip less, the more I journaled.
I am not sure what I want my website to be about. I would say it is just about whatever I am interested in at the time. I want my website to be purposeful though. I want my website to be a guidepost for others to enjoy. I am totally cool though with this just being a private memoir of collected texts I write during my life. I think that is a really cool way to make a mark on the world. Plus, having my own website leads to more control on the content I put out online.
Alright everyone, that is the end of the post. It is 2:07PM.
