Ahhhh August. (Blog 460)

August has to be my least favourite month of the year. The weather is too hot and there is little to look forward to as my birthday has gone. There will be no fun times as my brother and his family are going on holiday, to put things simply, this sucks. What’s really getting to me is the fact I read 36 is supposed to be the happiest year of your life. I am actually in a PARTIALLY positive mood at the time of typing (Wednesday) as I’m relieved to have updated my computer successfully, but will the feeling last as long as the day of this blog posting? (On a Thursday). If so, I guess that’s good in a way, but I mean… it’s just not THAT a big thing to be excited about, is it? It’s making me sound stupid. So this is the best year of my life, me updating my computer and me feeling smug for one or two days. Needless to say, most people would see my situation as a massively bad example of a golden age. If you’ve read my number theory monologues, you will know that 36 means ‘freedom from evil’. Has this year been free of evil? Well the update at least SEEMED to be the work of the devil. Whether it was literally the work of the devil on the other hand is unclear. I’d find it surprising as I’m sure the update was supposed to be as simple as possible, so yeah I guess in a way it was Satanic, but it could have went so much better AND worse. I remember the days when I had to simply click the install button and that would be that. Do I feel nostalgic about that? Sure, why not.

Oh it should be pointed out that I’m actually typing on the last day of July. Maybe tomorrow will be even worse, that’s not very good is it? Hopefully it will be worse because the computer buzz will be gone, and that’s all. I say I’m buzzing, but only partially, to be clear. Things aren’t always black and white, are they? In this case things are a fairly dark grey. People with borderline personality disorder are known for having black and white thinking, does that mean I don’t have the condition? Ha, I wish! Wait, that didn’t sound right at all, I meant ‘yes, I don’t have it’. Wow, I haven’t typed anything in over an hour. Maybe that’s my brain’s way of telling to stop writing. A bit controversial, until I corrected myself of course. :) Ooh more writer’s block. I wonder why THAT is. Maybe it’s because my brain is telling me to stop writing again. Maybe because my correction seemed a bit disingenuous. But it wasn’t. :D Did that face make things better or worse? I really don’t know. I’m still thinking about that burger and shake in Staines, I couldn’t go there again, could I? Maybe I’ll get one towards the end of the month. I hate to sound like a stuck record, but there was so much cream!! Mixed with the chocolate it was just beautiful. I guess I’ll continue this blog tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s the bird joke I promised! Why was the disabled bird calm? It was unflappable!

It’s now August! Has the computer updating buzz gone? Yep, although I did like it just a tiny bit when I checked if my computer needed updating again this morning, and it said no. I give the whole experience a solid 6 out of 10. Nothing special, but certainly better than nothing. Bad news I’m afraid. Apparently my adverts showing in Switzerland will no longer be personalised, so I will be losing money. I could sort the problem out by using some sort of code or whatever, but I really can’t be bothered. Last time I was told by the ad service to update my code so I could keep running adverts or whatever, the ad company eventually got fed up and said they’d do it for me. I was hoping the same thing would happen again, but I guess not. Would you believe there’s more bad news? What a month this has been already! I got an email from my gym saying the council are getting mad with all the people not displaying car park passes on their cars, so they will be enforcing the rules more. Oh no, I really was planning on fraudulently using the car park again so I could visit a nearby mental health checkup centre. I probably will anyway, I’ll just be a little more nervous next time.

My debit card is about to be cancelled, too, its expiry date is 09/24. I thought that meant I’d need a new one on the start of September, but the internet tells me I’ll be able to use the thing on the last day of September, which is something. I have a tiny bit more time before I have to update the various companies I’m subscribed to, mainly Wix and the gym. Pretty much just them. Again, it’s not exactly a nightmare updating two sites, but I’d say I got another 6/10 boost, not having to do anything for a good other month. Also, I should be getting a new card in the mail without even needing to ask for one! As months go, it could be worse! Ah, more writer’s block. I’m wondering if my brain is forcing me to sop writing today as well. I have openly admitted to planning a very small scale crime at least. The thing is, I think that’s the only crime I’m going to commit, so I don’t really know what the problem is. It would be worse in America with the ‘three strikes and you’re out’ rule, where you commit any crime three times and you get sentenced to death or whatever. Maybe I’m exaggerating. Other than that, I do like the country honestly, the thought of it just makes me nervous. And bye!
