The end of the point.

 Hello everyone. How have you all been doing? I hope good.

Today marks the end of a chapter. The end of the point (roll credits). To me, it has been a fun series to write. I researched, as thoroughly as the one blog-per-day format lets me, topics I like, topics I didn't know much about, and most importantly, topics I wanted to share with other people.

Unfortunately, as everything in this life, this is the end. Now, don't panic, this is nowhere near the end of this blog, I think we're only a bit over half of the challenge. The end I'm talking is the end of the talking about legendary items. I'm sure some of you are dissapointed that I'm just going to cut abruptely this, but every new post I had this nagging feeling of wanting to talk about something I'm passionate about, but not having enough time to do it right. And that's the thing. No matter how much I try or how frantic I research, a single day is not enough to actually bring to life the quality and extension I want to do. I reached a point (pun not intended) where I just can't bring myself to do keep up like this.

As such, I'm going to move to easier topics (in my perspective). What will be this new series about? You'll see.

Now, this is not the complete end of me talking about myths. I won't make promises - they just stress me - but I hope I bring this back after the thirty days challenge is over; well researched, well written, long articles where I take enough time to bring out the best I can. Until then, however, I hope you can accompany me at least until we reach the end of this challenge.

Until tomorrow.

Some more pointing. Part 2

 One new week, one new post. Hello everyone. How have you been? Here is a super small one. Today I'll talk a bit about the, probably, most famous spear in fiction. Gungnir. Gungnir is the famous spear wielded by Odin, God of thunder, wisdom, war and a myriad of other things. He is known for disguising himself and posing as an old traveler. The spear is said to had been made by Dwarves, and it's mentioned that Odin carved the knowledge of runes that he obtained from the Yggdrasil through the spear.  In popular culture, I think the whole norse pantheon is very well known. Even way before the explosion of popularity of Marvel, Norse was on of those mythologies that everybody knew a bit about. I remember even at school we touched on the subject with the Volsung saga and the Ring of the Nibelung. I'd wager the time we spent in these topics in class was only second to the overabundance of the Greek mythology. If you are a fan of RPGs, you have probably gotten across references to...

Some more pointing. Part 3

 Hello, and welcome again to a new episode of pointy things, where I ramble on and on about things in a superficial manner, to fulfill a self-imposed challenge I'm too stubborn to drop. Snarky today, you say? Well, better than repeating same introductions for thirty days straight won't you say? Anyway, pleasantries aside, today I bring another short mention of a pointy thing. And speaking of which, I'm really grateful with past me for using a non-specific name for this series, as this one may be stretching the rules we've played with for the previous week. A long time ago, in this same galaxy, I was once a high school student - cue gasps at the revelation. One of the many subjects we touched upon was of course literature. I have fond memories of most of my teachers at that time, and the literature ones are no exception. It was with one of them that I learned for the first time about things outside the classical Greek lit and glanced at the massive world of ancient India...

Some thoughts

August is almost done and things seem to stay the same. 2020 has been a rough year, and I have no trouble believing things will only get worse. It doesn't need to be this year; I have no hope for the next decade. Awfully pessimist some of you will say, but I prefer to be pleasantly surprised than keeping my expectations up. Doom predictions aside, today I just wanted to ramble for a bit. That's another benefit I gained through these posts, it forces me to organize my ideas and structure my opinions so I can commit them to (digital) paper. Anyway, these days I've relived many memories I have. While I introspect frequently, rare is the case when I actually go down the memory lane. I tend to focus on the present, on the person I am at that instant and who I want to be in the future. I chalk it up to a combination of not so fond childhood - nothing worthy of a drama series, just some bad highlights - and my own memory problems. I kid you not, my head resembles a non-stick pan t...
