«-Brief Intro in SP-»

(SP as Spanish)

Tengo toneladas de amigos imaginarios.
Esa Constante y Persistente Sensación.
Como que estoy aquí, pero no lo estoy.
Como que a alguien le importa.
Pero nadie indica que es así.
Como que pertenezco a algún lugar.
Y descubro que ya no queda espacio.
El vacío donde reside el potencial.
La clave es escuchar y no solo oir.
¡Comparto, luego existo!
Si me necesitas ¡Llámame!
La energía y vitalidad de la juventud.
¿Ser productivo? ¿Generar beneficios?
Del más básico minimalismo hasta el absoluto esencialismo vital.
Una vez excedes el umbral mínimo, más rico es quién menos necesita.

¿Cuando fue la última vez que fuiste feliz?

You know? I am a great connoisseur and very eclectic follower of all kind of genres, styles and variety of music. You could say I am sort of an expert as for my tastes for music goes. And I believe that I've already shown 'that' multiple times before in many different fragments of our beloved steem blockchain so far.

My last entry for these contests of @nowplaying-music was for their 39th edition when we all were witnessing and going through the pain of childbirth that meant the process of steemit's rebirth and the steem blockchain in general after HF20.

In those moments, I was experimenting and testing at every chance I had when we would be able to post and publish again in our blogs through steemit. For those particular tests, I had an article that I had written specifically to participate in that week 39 of the #nowplaying contest. While trying to post it, I also checked if the @nowplaying-music team also had published the announcement that started the official contest of that week.

But nothing, was not possible for them either. It is seen that they couldn't post either.

So, I decided to just modify a bit the title of my post and continue testing until I achieved to post it. Simply making a small tweak in the title just in case I was able to publish my post before them with their official announcement.

And there you go. As soon as I could publish my post, a few hours later they also could publish theirs too. But since there had been several hours between the publication of one and the other, to tell the truth, I didn't have the mood to change it again. So I left it that way. But not without suffering its consequences. };)

«-The Consequences-»


(Yep! I also listen, dance & enjoy this type of music big time.)

So, ¿The Consequences? you would ask. Well yeah, the consequences were that that post didn't get views, comments nor votes not even to save my sorry ass out of that downtime of discouragement. Not even the 'nowplaying-music' bot came to comment. Go figure!

And that despite the mentions I had made to them throughout that post. Nobody came, nobody read it and nobody enjoyed it. Well, I suppose they just missed a nice and very good song. In addition to my always entertaining message. :)

But hey! let's leave behind so many laments.

«-It's Now Playing Week 43 (Oct 21 - Oct 27)-»

And the story with my reflections and songs for this week begins like this:

«««-$-»»»

Every day when I wake up, which, by the way, can be at any hour of the day. My mood usually goes on the lines of this song next:

¡Expectations From The Bottom Of My Heart!

As I am already an old hermit and lonely cranky gandalf that every single day does not do more than work online since he opens his eyes until he closes them again. With work sessions that can start and end at any time of the day as I said before. Simply because I no longer have anyone close to look for or that they could see for me. I usually work very long hours which can sometimes exceed up to 24hrs in a row without sleep. And from there, the reason that my days could start and end at any time of the day.

Then, as my peculiar day progresses. And depending on the positive results, joys or lack of them that I'm getting from my tireless daily work online and which this obviously also includes steemit. My mood and sense of humor easily can go from whiter and shinier, stained gray or flatter black according the support. More or less like this next song.

🎶 I'll keep holding on 🎶

¿Or should it be "Hodling"?

Oh God! if every whale within the steem blockchain and each steemian knew what little it takes to make an old loner living in Venezuela happy as to encourage him to share at all times his experiences, occurrences and valuable knowledge with all of you here. Surely you and they all would put just a little more attention everyday.

C'mon!

¡Help me out to stay as naturally jolly as I usually am!

But yeah, looks like to the extent that the time that has passed after the experiment of the HF20 and its RCs. It is showing that many of us have been losing a very considerable amount of support. And lately and now more than ever, the scarcity of 'real' followers who read, enjoy and show appreciation for our content through an upvote or simple comment, seems to be more noticeable these days. Has not it happened to you too?

Therefore, observing what surrounds me over here in my country every day and also all these poor results online during the last days. I couldn't help but feeling myself a little bit down. Reflecting and meditating each time more around the lines of this song:

🎶 This ain't real, this ain't cool 🎶

¡This ain't what I signed up too!


I've been here for too long. I've been here for too long.

Oh sure! perhaps a little bit of more patience would help.

But I am well aware that....

¡It Don't Come Easy!

Hi there,

I could spread a thousand words here and none of them would even the value of yours.
The Steemit roller-coaster it's as you know, normal. Don't spect nothing, all will be nice.
I love music and musicians spread their gems out there for us to enjoy. Find the most you love and you'll be fine.

Thanks so much for your sharings that we love.

Btw, hold on!

Muchas gracias hermano querido. De verdad aprecio mucho tu apoyo y tus palabras. :)

Y como músico y amante de la música que eres, aquí te va una 'viejita' especialmente dedicada para tí.

Buenísimo, gracias por el detalle, lo vi por la mañana al levantarme jajajaja y me puso las pilas.

Thanks for sharing all of this wonderful music. Not sure if you enjoy Hip Hop at all but G-Eazy has a pretty interesting flip of Alone in a song from him that was released in 2008.


I was already quite the fan of the original when this came out so it made the song that much better.

Thanks for entering this week's #nowplaying!
