living is easy with eyes closed

 misunderstanding all you see...

heello fellow person that happens to have stumbled into my modest journal. life seems to be changing inside and outside my little subjective car-window view even since the last entry. I FINALLY managed to get a job, which manages to take up half of my day, because I don't (and I should) wake up at a specific hour, since it ain't necessary for my afternoon to night shift, and I end up missing most of the daylight when I wake up at 1 p.m. and leave at 4. and so I've been literally in the dark for the past few weeks, which proves to be a challenge for keeping up with my until now regular private and social life, but I'll figure it out.

I might however have to really figure out how can I implement music back into my life too. I've been kinda inactive for some while now, but I have managed to come up with some more experimental tracks that are going to be published within the next weeks, some which I'm actually kinda proud of, and feel that they could maybe become ""hits"" (meaning reaching some 300 views on YT). I do plan on making a new music video too, though I'm not sure for what to film this time. I'd like to make an actual bare bones story line and some basic basic acting in it too, even though I don't really know how to do that!

as far as what's going on outside my little subjective car-window view, well, barely war. I mean, I kinda grew out of the fear of the triquel in the World War series. it's been like the fifth time this decade that this issue rose to the mainstream, and we are still only halfway through it. however this time it does feel a bit more realistic, while still kinda unlikely. I don't know how the US bombing in Iran could spark a strike back, since the US and NATO as a whole seem to be pretty feared of. however I'm unsure about the real strength and trustability of NATO, since it hasn't really been tested up to this point. like, would the whole of NATO join the US in a war with i.e. Russia? would they not just bail out of there or switch sides? as far as Greece goes, well, if US goes to war, we go to war, and, well, I certainly do hope not.

the title of this entry is from a lyric of Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles, and it has been stuck in my head these 2 days. and I really think that it's a spectacular lyric. it doesn't say that "living is easy when you're blind", 'cause that would be dumb, but that you have the option to see, and choose not to. that's the beauty of it. it is nice when you can do something that you don't want too, and so, while I wouldn't advise it, you can just live your life in pilot mode, and don't care about a thing in the world, if you can't put up with the stress of war and stuff. similarly, in these times I think about Lennon's lyric in (what else) Imagine: "imagine there's no countries". it sounds so simple it's almost funny. I could imagine though that small military parties and societies would emerge from people of similar beliefs. but imagine how much more simple would things be. in the end, are we really cursed to be violent to one another?

I guess then that's what religion is all about: conquering the fear of the inevitable violence that rules life. and if I'm right, then, what a good time to be a believer!
