10th October 2021
During this month: Oct 2021...
I find myself almost completely ignoring poetry, for the moment...and, concentrating most of my attention on learning computer programming/Operating Systems/-etc. I'm currently, studying learning things such as: Windows Powershell/and, Linux Administration. I joined: Linode.com...a £5.00 monthly cloud computing service...which allows one to set up instance servers -(servers you can quickly put up/pull down, even in a short instant)-...and, then, remotely operate these computer machines by using SSH/Secure SHell software/or, FTP using shttp://.
I've definitely been ignoring taking exercise for the most part...and, must confess I've hardly been doing any. The thought of getting up and exercising is often inside of my mind...; but, unfortunately, I haven't actually been getting up and 'doing it' much...just keep on 'thinking' about doing it...?! I have been eating a lot or rice; then, go for 2nd/3rd/4th helpings...; then, I feel too full to want to exercise...; instead, I just want to rest/and, digest. I suppose, though, that I'm really just making endless excuses...as it only takes not more than just 1 minute/or, 2 to complete doing say 10 or 20 press ups...; and, there's no way I can claim I couldn't get to spare just 1 or 2 minutes/or, even, devote 5 minutes to go running around the block/do 10 minutes stretching.
I been trying to visit online learning sites: Amazon AWS/Craftsy/Microsoft/Skillshare/Udemy/-etc. However, my attention just keeps on wondering off...; thus, as usual, I'm finding it really easy to start stuff...just not finishing anything I've already gone and started/or, certainly, not finishing enough. For example, only just yesterday, I was studying at Microsoft learning Python programming...got up to the part where you install the software/and, write 'Hello, world!' beginner program...then, I quit...went off to go study something else, instead; but, nobody is going to pay you for having written a mere beginner program.
Most unfortunately, I've been seriously neglecting getting on with my foreign language studies. I've hardly ever signed in to: Duolingo/Busuu/Rosetta Stone...to go learn French...only signing-in like, maybe, just once in a whole entire month. Boy, what an awful 'waste of money'...; but, then, there is so many other things to go and do/concentrate on learning...?!
Haven't gotten my bike fixed at Brixton Halford's bike shop, yet; I need to get that repair -to the really wobbly handle bars- done really soon. Once the bike is fixed...I'm sure, I will go out and travel more...; even, though, the winter's weather is getting really cold out there...; but, I want to go and visit seeing Art Galleries, again...Dulwich Picture Gallery/Tate Britain/Tate Modern/-etc.; but, there's no way I'm going to try walking all the way there and back...not at age 58...and, with relatively weak legs(Achilles tendonitis).
The other thing I been seriously neglecting is doing arts...; I joined in a Facebook group: 'Self-portrait Sundays'...; whereas, before I would put up there multiple self-portraits...; now-a-days, I don't seem to be putting up there any! Instead, my computing interests have been taking up all of my time... (LATEST UPDATE: I did send in 'one' self-portrait Sunday 10th Oct 2021.)
CONCLUSION It's ever so easy to accuse oneself I did not do this...I did not do that...along with 101+ other things that I still haven't done, yet! But, looking on the bright side of things...; I remain quite fully aware of all that is it that I've been neglecting...; and, furthermore, I keep on promising myself that I will, eventually, get around to doing it, later. Also, I have been most thoroughly enjoying doing all the things that I did want to do like right now. There simply just isn't enough time left in a single day...to do 101+ things...; meaning, some things just have no other choice, but, to wait.
