Fin

 So, this is it. This is the grand finale. Thirty days of non-stop posting just to reach this point. You can't see it, but I have one of those satisfied really satisfied smiles right now.

Last month when I started this, I had one general goal: push myself to write. And it was general, I mean, I didn't have a concise genre to rite, I didn't know what themes I could even touch. All in all it was pretty YOLO the way I started this.

I'd like to brag about how easy this was but honestly, even at this point of the challenge it is not something completely easy for me to do. I have gotten better. I think I can say with confidence that I'm a better writer than I was a month ago, and I'm talking of a big difference here. Sure, none of my posts have been a magnus opus, but I have done a good job.

I have more confidence on what I write, I take less time to write a short paragraph, and while all of this is in a different format than usual (All of this has been in a first-person, rambling type of way after all), it's still leaps and bounds better than how I started.

I have to thank profusely my writing friend  and co-challenger of these blogs here. Ace has tackled this alongside myself consistently and even motivated me whenever I just wanted to drop everything.

And that's it. The end of this blog. Who knows what may happen tomorrow, or in a month. If I will ever touch a blog in my life or if I'll try once more with a more forgiving schedule. Whatever the future may hold, I can say right now that I don't regret undertaking this.

Thanks for reading. Todd out.

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...
