RE: Diaries of an addict #6 - Wasn't fun
I picked that city as I know every square cm, every bump in the pavement and every tree I can crash into on that route.

Glad we are not speaking in metaphors.
No, just giving an example I know really well.
It feels ever more metaphorical from what I know. Blog week 13.
March 25 - 31?
Have you noticed? It's become a simultaneous chess game. A player drew up to the board. It's his board after all.
Rethink: wrong metaphor, wrong way around. We need a game that has one board and many players at the same game. What am I thinking of? There are plenty of such games withing Waldorf Education (competition discouraged, cooperation encouraged).
It's come to me: Steemit!
Now all we need is a Steemit Board. Wait, isn't there a bot by that name?
No, No, not that far back. Counting from now.
Counting from now is a future post. 13 weeks is a lot of posts, I'll never get trough that :_(
Doesn't it just indicate in the list "day 13"? Scroll and find surely?
I didn't mean count, I just meant not look at titles with 13.
No titles with 13, so that includes all of them. This is what I see, no indication of 13 anywhere.
Cripes time flies: it's by now already day 14, slow coach.
DAY
Eventhough, it is only half of a clue why that city of all the cities in all the world looks so weird on my screen in a sentence written by you, I would like to point out that you may have missed something, Mr. Eagle Eye. Ha. Makes my day. Hiding in plain sight. Still got it in me.
I give you my hand and you didn't take it.
Several posts back.
I remember thinking is this a detail I want to leave in?
Unless of course, I understimate my opponent in this game of chess-reply.
That will take a re-read. For now I call check.
Blog post or comment post?
I'm not going to Bangkok, I seek something closer to home.
Blog
Technical Q. I think we're on somebody else's post and therefore your reply here is not showing up. I was just wondering sometime between tomorrow and yesterday (I think it is...Saturday), that one misses replies like that. I've had it happen before. See I need a mapmaker, forever lost around here.
No, there is a lag. It does show up. Sometimes it is a long one between what is up and what shows up under "replies". That has happened before too. Must be something like that sneaky bit of time banks use to transfer your money to keep it in mid air....
Then the Q is do these replies also just sink and not bother Sina at least?
The metaphysical implications are extensive, and Sina even mentioned them, aware of being mentioned by others, thanks to the votes I alerted him to. This creates new spaces where one can set up soda stands. If God counts every single hair on your head and hundreds of female (Renaissance and up) artists are only now being discovered (muffled away as improper at the time), none of this will go to waste. Caring and sharing: love never does. It dissolves like salt and before you know it you have a new ocean. Not a good idea for our planet, but the head is like the moon (in esoteric science), so I am always trying to find new ways to fill up that Sea of Tranquility.
We can only make these comments sink if we upvote the ones below. Should anyone want the comments removed they can be, but only the ones that wrote them can do that. (reply edit delete)
Maybe you are speaking in metaphors...
Well spotted. You have a very sharp eye. Your photographs show it, your extremely well edited texts show this. But this is next level!
But don't forget to add chess to opponent in this context!
Wonder how your chess game is.
Isn't "chess" a metaphor? am I already in the game?
I rather watch your moves carefully for a while, before engaging in this mysterious game of yours. lol
Chess most certainly is a metaphor.
And I believe also a figurative picture for how to travel through life. In that sense for O and I it is not so much a game, but an experiment in how connections can be made without using all our senses (only sight really!).
In that sense, dear one, you are already involved because Steemit is so interconnective (in theory). We very much appreciate your presence in our midst, as it were. It lends a sense of normality in this crazy place of Steemit.
O. is concerned that a lot of not so good developments are happening on the wallet side. When the big fish become restless he usually gets hurt (in the wallet department). He has invested to help people like us make the blogs we like to make, so he needs to think about his next move.
I don't know how important the financial "game" for you here is. Not for me, but it means it doesn't attract many new people.
How do you find the social interaction and general vibe around here at the moment? What will determine for you if you will stay, or go?
We will keep you posted of our activity. I won't go before saying good bye. Join in as much as you like. You are very welcome.
Does it mean I'm normal?
That is very nice of him. That question never gets old, "what's next?"
I hoped someday it would become important to me, but now it doesn't looks like something I should hope for. When I started, I wanted this to become a serious income for me, but it's not going that way now. about 300$ per month is a good income for me, so I was trying to make it happen online by posting here, selling photos, but nothing really happened.
Not as good as a year ago, but still not bad. I've been here more than a year, so I guess I'll stay till the end, but my activity might change drastically based on many different thing, mostly my own mental state.
Could we also say goodbye before leaving this world?
Normal is as normal does. I think you bring a special quality to the table. Your words echo till I understand them fully. You keep me musing about all our spirits here and how they would love for all us here to mingle happily in a family of brothers and sisters without money troubles.
Your spirit is very bright. I know how this can make the soul feel extra dark sometimes. This creates the Dark Night of the Soul every Lover of the Beloved must go through.
Know my thoughts are with you while you travel (they were also when I was not here: some people, it is only normal, you simply remember fondly).
I am not gone yet, but I am not sure what your closing sentence means, is it a (highly philosophical/metaphysical) rhetorical question or a request? To both I could answer affirmatively if with different explanations.
Will wait patiently till you are in the mood for your next post.
Usually I don't try to be normal (or special) but in a sense, I think I'm too normal, unlike everybody else, so I'm special. (Is this world based on paradoxes or my point of view is still not correct?)
It feels good to hear these nice words from you, it makes me happy, sometimes it encourages me but it also makes me sad after all that, because I know I should leave them behind and go further.
Fortunately (or unfortunately?) we still live, but unlike steemit, which you can plan to leave at a specific time, and even come back later, this world is unpredictable and there's no way to plan your exit (and worse, many are afraid of even talking about leaving it).
Honestly I didn't wanted to go that deep when I asked the question, but leaving steemit reminded me of our own death and nearly all the time happens without saying goodbye.

You should try this route, no tree to crash into. lol
The trees where I ride are big enough to stop a Truck, but I have experience with the dessert also. At this stage in life I won't challenge the dessert anymore, so I hope to see more of your explorations.
Interesting that in this virtual world we (or maybe just I) think others are like us, till we find out they aren't, so you should be older than what I thought at first.
But anyway, one should like to be challenged by a dessert, specially when riding in a desert. (sometimes a simple "s" makes a big difference.)
Ik kan het ook in het Nederlands opschrijven, maar ja, daar heb je weinig aan. Woestijn.
Maybe you worry about technicalities too much, suffice it to be able to communicate.
[fortunately google translate works well in translating Dutch to English]

How about Farsi? I noticed Google translate is terrible at translating English into Russian, ironic, as Google founder Sergey Brin was born in Russia.
It was terrible, but I tried it with your sentence and it wasn't bad.
I just tried few sentences and it's much better than before, but when the sentence gets long (more than about 10) and a little bit complicated, it starts to act weird.
