I am compiling an older Android OS, as the newer versions have a lot of overhead for my old device. Once new developments for newer versions appear once they are done, I’ll evaluate whether I’ll change again.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the end of things lately, as my mind wandered around, stressed out by a series of things not worth discussing. And thinking about the end of myself is weirdly comforting. The classic this too shall pass. Everything is transitory after all, and life itself is impermanent. We’re here now, we might be gone tomorrow.
One month experiment: using a very old low-end phone with the latest Android version as a daily driver. The device lags as expected, but usable. The friction of using it is an advantage I’m seeking.
Suhyun’s (AKMU) crystal-clear voice always cleanses my polluted soul.
I am tired of this “You should grind now, but live later.”.
I’ve been playing “Don’t You Fake It” multiple times this past month, and will listen to it now one last time. It really is good. I had the pleasure of seeing them playing live and have a very good time. Childhood memories did came back.
Whenever something’s bothering me, Mychem has been always a go-to listen. I’ve been listening to them in every stage of my life now.
I like to listen to music, A LOT. I am now stepping away from the easy access of streaming random songs and letting the algorithm play the next songs and just going the old fashioned way of downloading the songs for offline playback. I will mostly listen to a full album instead of just one song.
I am now adding regular posts of the albums I listened to. Here’s the initial list from the last two weeks.
Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire (1997) by Hatebreed (Metalcore, Hardcore)
Supremacy (2006) by Hatebreed (Metalcore, Hardcore)
Heard That There’s Good Pasta (2020) by Aimyon (J-pop)
Listening to Hatebreed is a huge motivational boost.
I really like Cigarette and Potpourri Leaf as always from that Aimyon album.
