The Thing about Reading

In the Thames Valley beyond London in Berkshire there is a town called Reading (🗣️ "red-ing").  It has lots of beautiful water ways, lakes and canals and is the place where the river Kennet merges with the River Thames( 🗣️"tems") . Yet it isn't really set up as a tourist area. It has lots of burgundy brick pedestrian broadwalks and burgundy brick buildings. There is a large shopping mall there on the river Kennet. There is also a vast business park filled with software companies but I feel like it's not set up as a tourist place. It is just a place where a lot of software is created mostly. 

Reading is one of those places that are in my reach, I can take a bus or drive there in less than an hour so I'm no stranger to the place, I even know where their local weatherspoon's pub is, the Hope and Tap.  

I have good access to north west London Reading, Oxford and all the towns in between. I don't get reading, it is like the place is trying its best to be dull and dutyfull, to be a place that hides from prestige. I just don't get it. 

Books are peace

My parents were good to me, they showed me that it is wonderful to read. The more you read, the more peace you will have. In this world there is no peace, we have to get it ourselves. Recently I saw crowds of people gnashing their teeth together because of rage, because of a war that has nothing to do with them. I don't understand why they're so angry and why they only care about some wars and not others. 

 My mind can become so restless that I feel trapped, but then I fall back on what my parents taught me. 

I don't value the material things of this world like flashy cars and expensive clothes, I just love all my books and computer games. 

I imagined getting my first meta Quest virtual reality headset and playing golf. I love playing golf in virtual reality, the weather is always nice and you can teleport to the ball. 

Playlists and Books

Two things that are important to me are a playlists and books. If your mood becomes too unbalanced then music can help to level you off. 

If I feel frustrated or stressed, I listen to this type of music: Happy video game music. If I have resentment for another person then I will listen to something like this: Walking sword anti resentment. 

I also draw pictures and write blog posts as a hobby. I recently brought my two hobbies together, a good hobby can change your life. 

I like to read a lot of books; I think that the more books you read, the happier you will be. I have two book shelves. I have a digital book shelf and a real one. My E Reader is very light and has a back light so it is easier to read at night, I don't need a reading lamp to read it. I also like to read real printed books, sometimes I get interesting factual ones in charity shops for about 50p. 

Books that are very interesting to read are Factual Journals and back stories to sci-fi movies. 'Who goes there' by John Campbell is the original story for my favourite movie, 'The thing' from the 80s. I also liked books by Gary Zukav, 'Dancing Wu li masters' is very interesting. I read through '23 minutes in hell' by Bill Weise, he is a guy that claims he was taken to Hell for 23 minutes. 

Read more and be happy.

malware and good life

Right now I am sitting at the table in a darkened room next to my battery powered radio and my table top fiber optic lamp. Over the weekend there was a global cyber malware attack and many computers were locked at ransom. The UK national health service was hit really bad.

The world I live in is cold, most the words my ears hear every day is complaints and criticism.  It is better not to hear anything at all than hear people complaining. Small talk is so small in this world an the world is becoming a colder and colder place.

My fiber optic lamp is very beautiful and it is very peaceful right now. I'm still saving up for a Kindle e-reader. I love reading interesting stories. Reading interesting books and articles and listening my radio on LBC and listen to people talking about topics.
