Lifespans

I find it amazing that the lifespan of "things" are reducing while we as humans are hoping to increase our own lifespans.

That though just popped into my mind I guess because I was going through this blog.
My updates are getting fewer and farther in between.
Then it occurred to me that Sites such as this have all but been taken over by more instantaneous, entertaining and creative albeit less "use-your-own-imagination" sites such as Instagram and Snapchat.

And Twitter, well, yeah. Strict adherence to character count on each post meaning, short, sharp and to the point. That makes a person like me, a wee bit of a dinosaur.
Because I'd like to think that I'm descriptive; and being descriptive takes a massive word count.
Again, old school mentality.

We were taught from a young age, that our essays and compositions had to meet a minimum word count. In today's context, I wouldn't be surprised that it isn't really much of a criteria anymore. As a matter of fact, if you can write less yet provide more information, all the better.
The less is more mantra.

So, I end up being "long winded" or naggy...Oh well.So here's the good thing about having a blog. It's an online diary!

Hmm...I probably have mentioned that before sometime in the past.

Sorry, I have terrible memory except for the things that I bother about; which is mostly the feeling/sensation/emotion that I'm experiencing at a particular point in time.

I don't necessarily commit words to memory but the feel of the situation, yeah I do that and it's possibly why I have a tendency to feel nostalgic ever so often.

Oh before I forget (as if that's going to happen); this is the year of Covid-19 which for us should be more like CoViD-20 because while it emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019, it's real impact was only felt in early 2020.

So I'm stuck at mostly at home, which I don't really mind. That's probably because I have a comfortable home with loads of personal space. I honestly respect and admire those people whom are able to stay in when space always has to be shared. It must be really tough.

An interesting thought just came into my mind actually; a theory. Not a conspiracy theory since that requires more than 1 person to be involved haha...whatever.

What if this period of time, is an alternate timeline. December XX 2019, a significant date where and when and to whom the initial transmission of CoViD-19 took place:

The Ground Zero/Zero hour/Patient Zero.

It could be, that at that specific point in time and place, a person from an alternate dimension, history, future appeared and started the ball rolling. For what reason? We may not know for certain. At least not in the foreseeable future perhaps.

Hmm...a plot/story for a movie begins again. Oh but this one IS tricky because it involves time travel. And as they say, whenever writers write themselves into a corner, Time Travel to the rescue! Haha! It's the lazy way out.

Oh well...
