“Simplicity is a great virtue, but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” ― Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

In a previous post, I explained the use of this variable called heartbeat.

Heartbeats are found in other places, beyond embedded computers.

It has all the elements of a great story: the eternal fight between good and evil, a boy meeting a girl, and all that placed in a dystopian techno future with a clan of dissident cyberpunks.

The kind of music I like is loaded with feelings. I have no idea about the canonical taxonomy in music. For me, there are only two categories, either the musician feel the world or think the world. I prefer the former, simply because I am the same (or I believe I am, not completely sure).

Como decirle que la quiero, sin decir nada.

Como dejar de pensarla, de beberla, de soñarla.

En la soledad de mis recuerdos, mis promesas y esperanzas. Simplemente la quiero, con esta pasión desinteresada.

La quiero sin etiquetas, ni promesas, ni esperanzas. La quiero en las tormentas de la noche, y en las mañanas de calma.

En la soledad de mis silencios, mis promesas y esperanzas. Irremediablemente, la quiero, sin que pueda hacer yo nada.

Y así, día tras día, deambulando y preguntando: como puedo decirle que la quiero, sin decir nada.

Happening last night.

Went to bed at 23:00h. Woke up at 1:30h. Couldn't sleep for a while.

Reading happened. Some re-reading too.

Manage to fall asleep at 3:00h, woke up at 3:20h after having a nasty (and recurrent) dream. Bah!

More reading happened. More re-reading too.

Sleeping again at ~4:20h. Another nasty dream woke me up half an hour later. Less nasty than the previous one (and also a well-known one).

Again, falling to sleep right before my alarm went off. Slept in 30 minutes or so.

I don't feel sleepy, though. Maybe this delicious coffee helps.

□ The End.
