gym
Foolishness should pay tax… and I would be one of the poorer guys on earth :-D
Today I went to the gym as usual but the time I spent there was in no way near what it usually is. I felt without strength, without energy. After an hour of trying to fight my apathy I went to the bike… and as I wasn’t making the level of effort I normally do, I decided to pedal 5 more minutes. Of course the stupidity came with a price; When I finished the bike I felt like I was about to faint. I thought… well a little of water and I’ll be all right. I went to the locker-room and drank a little water but right there my body decided I shouldn’t be aloud to decide more stupid things… and so I had to sit down for a long while. Only while sitting there trying to understand why the hell wasn’t I in normal shape did I remember… I forgot to have the afternoon snack… so I didn’t had anything to eat in about 5 or 6 hours.
I grabbed a snickers from the vending machine and came home wondering how is it possible to a person to forget a meal…

beach house
My personal ambitions! I’ve written before about them here, but I’m returning to the subject without a specific reason or purpose. I don’t know why, but maybe writing about them makes me understand them better, or at least think about them.
I don’t have what “normal” people have; I don’t have a defined vision of myself in ten or twenty years. There are things I would like to accomplish in a few years but those things aren’t at all restricting about most (or all) things that will happen in my life in that same future.
I would like to achieve professional success, but I still maintain a very broad view of what I would like to work on. I would like to have a house near the beach, but I still don’t know the answer of whether I’ll be living there alone or with someone. And even the things I would like to achieve are very flexible, for example: Yes, I would like a house near the beach, but I know I would also be happy in an apartment on the centre of Lisbon, as long as I’m able to retain my way of “being” I think I’ll be happy in any environment, in any place, with almost anybody… at least that’s how I like to think about my future hopes and dreams.
Oh, I know… people say: There he goes again, trying hard to look simple. But the truth is that I don’t try hard, and I doubt that I’m simple. But I like to take one day at a time and hate planning in the longer run. I don’t like to impose myself specific goals that in the end may interfere with something I’m doing or accomplishing. If I’m able to act accordingly to this rule, I think it will be easier to be happy and fulfilled with my life.
