Day 1 of starting fresh until i become a better moth

I missed this. I'm gonna start these again. Why? I kinda need to rn. I have nothing to give me that structure which I need. I just kinda laze around all day. The funny thing is you'll notice I'm productive in this entry that's because I was thinking of writing this in the evening which already motivated me to do more. Then this also helps me habit track which is quite important for me. You'll notice a few differences but I'm lazy to point them out. Let's begin though! Shall we?

Exercise//Health - I want to start eating better and I have been actually! I made a whole food related bulletin and if you haven't read that, I know love oats. My morning oats can make my whole day. If I haven't had any, it's very obvious. I had some this morning though and I put a bit too much milk in so it was very like watery and falling off the spoon. Still good though. No complaints besides that. I had a sausage roll for lunch which I need to eat less of but whatever, they're good. Can't turn them down. WAIT i have cake in the fridge and I haven't touched it yet!! Damn, I gotta get some after this. It's carrot cake, dawg. Carrot cake is a top tier cake actually.

Then I skipped my exercise today because uhh I don't remember. I think my leg was hurting and my dog didn't want to let me exercise. I'll start again Tomorrow maybe when I can drive, I'll start running. I can't run here, it's quite dangerous but like maybe I can drive out to the field and do some running there. I wouldn't mind that. Running is a cool exercise form! I cant wait. 

Language Learning - I'm learning Spanish. I think it's a beautiful language and Spanish speaking nations make the best music in my opinion. DM me and I'll rec you some amazing Latin American music. When i first started actually, I didn't like Spanish music and everyone was like "to learn Spanish, listen to Spanish music" and I was like no, I'd rather stay in my bubble and listen to the same songs over and over again. Anyway today I did some duolingo and DONT LEARN WITH DUOLINGO. I usually do duo and some Spanish immersion but this time I was like really hooked on a sonic video essay so I didn't do that unfortunately. I only do duolingo to keep my friend streak alive. Can't let them down... can't let them down... Anyway didn't learn much... Because its duolingo and I didn't do my immersion on the side. I did learn about sonic CD though.

Reading - idk why but on my schedule, it's writing first and reading 2nd and I hate that. I read first so I can gain knowledge and write 2nd so I can expell that knowledge. I didn't read today btw. Listen, I picked up this book, A Tale of Two cities by Charles Dickens and it is BORRIINNGGGGG holy shit and remember, i love classics. Ill defend Shakespeare plays, I'll defend... I literally can't think of another example. I just love the classics but Dickens... wrap it up, man. Yk it's bad when I'm looking around the house to find books I haven't read yet and ask my Twitter followers to tell me what to read. I'm gonna exchange that book, sorry. Lucky me, I used the receipt as a bookmark so I can just walk in and get my money back which I will spend on another book since my library is closed down temporarily. I read some non fiction but there's a whole section for that.

Write - I had two writing sessions. One just now, the other earlier. The one just now was really good and then the one earlier was so bad. I got like 100 words down. I think here I want to give out writing advice to the masses. Because I don't want to say what I'm writing so yeah. Okay here we've got some advice from Steinbeck. This interested me when I read it because I saw it and discredited it without realizing, i do this. He says to write with one person in mind. You write for yourself, surely, right? WRONG. that makes you too comfortable you need to write for someone, one or two people because an audience is much too scary. I have a few people in mind for everything I read. It keeps from alienating myself but I'm still confident in my voice. I've got three people in mind for this blog even. I'm not gonna say because yk it's not that deep. It's just that envisioning them reading this allows me to write more authentically. If you write, think about who in your circle would enjoy what you're writing and write for them.

Learning - I'm reading a book on web design and on writing. The web design book is interesting. I almost deleted the pdf then I was like this is kinda fire. I wanted a book on design in general but I'm learning a lot about the mindset one should have when designing a website.

Media - I've been trying to watch more movies but I can't. I'm always busy when I wanna watch. I've been watching community though and I did something really dumb and now I need to watch a season of family guy. 

Odds and ends - for things that don't quite fit in any section. I've become a candy crush player just thought I'd share. That's it. That's all I've got.

Tasks for tomorrow:

  • -exchange my book
  • -get some groceries

Rambling section - my favorite! That's why it's last. I want to watch more movies this year. Like I've been watching NorthernLion and that guy likes movies and it makes me want to watch more but I just rarely have the time. Tomorrow I think I'm gonna watch first thing in the morning or maybe after my workout Because I'm just too tired. I wanna go to the cinema more too. Maybe I'll see that new Mickey 17. From the parasite guy. Seems cool! I love modern cinema! I hate it when people are so negative about modern films like this is the best it's ever been (except the 70s and late 90s) and it'll keep getting better (until Scorsese dies). You all should watch a recent movie. If for some reason you want homework for every blog then watch something from the 2020s and go in with an open mind. 

Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it

Anyway, good night, Moth Nation! See you all tomorrow!!

new language section!!! :DDD i love spanish music please always send me recs
the advice for the writing part is so real :OOOO whenever i try "writing with myself in mind" it doesnt even turn out to be productive anyway! need a handful of people in ur head to witness ur story/ideas! writing for a circle of people is such a good idea

heartbreaking news at the end that youve become a candy crush player. there is still time to save you mothiel please

Yeah!! I'm tired of sitting around, I've tried everything to motivate myself and it hasn't really worked so I'm bringing back the blogs. Glad you're excited though!! On everyone's soul except my own, this is the only good reboot. I still haven't eaten my carrot cake tbh, I gotta though and I will!!! I promise i will! Before it goes off. If it goes off, I might take arms against a sea of troubles

I'll defo send you some recs but it's mostly samba and jazz. Oh I heard something really beautiful the other day and I forgot the name of the album, it's Brazilian but still Latin american so still peak and samlrc recommended it. It's like I don't even think it's jazz or I can't even classify it, it's just beautiful.

Yeah, Steinbeck was goated for that piece of advice! I've kind of accidentally been following it because when I started writing reviews, only one person was reading it and idk why because he's a much better writer than me but when i kept him in mind, I would constantly push myself to be a better writer.

I'm 70 levels in... it's so bad. I played so much, I won a candy crush race. Idk why im playing it even. Oh but I got put onto another game called Bazaar or the bazaar. It's shit, ISCARIOT. It's pay to win, it's rigged, it's unbalanced but I'm so addicted to it. I woke up this morning and my first thought was to play bazaar. You should get it! (You shouldn't).

Oh yeah!! I saw your letterboxd became more active. I cheered and I clapped. So togata core. You should watch High and Low though. Gen one of my favorite movies of all time. And I'm also gonna have to recommend every Scorsese movie. But besides Scorsese, I really like the movie Thief which is like drive but he doesn't drive, he walks around and drive is kinda like taxi driver but like in the 80s and the movie looks cleaner so people misinterpret it more. I think I love misinterpreted movies a lot. Maybe because it's like a classic novel! You have to dig for the true meaning and most of the time the true meaning is that the main character is gay. I think Patrick Bateman is gay.

WAIT YOU STARTED SEINFELD AGAIN??? WHAT EPISODE??

You should read Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis i thought it was good, or any of Hemingway's books I like that guy


Report Comment



I saw the C.S Lewis book and i was gonna buy it BUT I HAD TO BUY MALCOLM X. I'll tap in when my library opens up again. Hemingway is great too. I want to read more of him. I read the old man and the sea but it was so poorly like idk i think the publisher tried to abridge it and that took out all of the charm I'd expected. But Hemingway is a massive inspiration to me as a writer. In one of these blogs, I might talk about some of his writing techniques because like you look into his attitude towards writing and his process and you just know he's a genius. Thanks for the recommendation tho, goat
