>>>#19/1/24 Another Wonderful Day at the Tropical Paradise

That's pretty much my activity for the afternoon.  No hurry worry.  It is TGIF.  

Tonight, I work on my Shorts.

I have been thinking...  From now on I will not seek permission from anybody on how to live my life.  I just go with the flow.  People will judge you anyway.  In this case, I will just be me.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

This gives a new meaning to the term, "A Warrior Walks Alone."

I simply don't fuck up and don't give a fuck.

To do so, I need to be independent.  As long as I am dependent on social norms, I am part of the herd.

“The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” — Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD), Roman Emperor, Stoic philosopher By definition, if you want to create something extraordinary you've got to leave the majority.

So here I am, happily living my life.  Defining my own rules.  Playing my own game.  Every day is a masterpiece.  Every day is an adventure.

The world is never the same again with ChatGPT and DALL-E 3.  Now I can truly express myself.

This afternoon, after several alterations to the card, the printshop girl, Nurul, managed to satisfy me.  To make her happy, I rewarded her with my winged trophy:

She was very happy with it.  It feels good that I can make another person happy:

u ar welme😊

Not much... But it made my day.  I bet the trophy made her day too.

I smoked a pack today.  So I start on day one again.  After fifty-five days.  I do it cold turkey this time.  No Nicorette.  As long as I am hooked on nicotine, I never quit.

This is my battle with nicotine.  I will fight it no matter how many times I have to quit.

OK girls... Time to work on the Shorts.  That's all the soiree for this evening.
