A third journal of personal musings

My life always continues to change and it only stands to reason that with each change, there should be a journal dedicated to it.

In response to "Change of Seasons"

I'm guilty of loving all the seasons but I do understand winter does seem like it's longer than the other seasons. In spring I love everything coming to life, in summer I love the warmth and the activities because the days are longer, autumn I love the vibrant colors and their holidays, and winter I love seeing fresh fallen snow glittering when the sun rises but I'm not fond of how easily it becomes dirty, and barren looking.

In response to "Law and Order"

I think the second half gives us a look at the picture from a different angle that we might not consider, and I like that too!

I love rivers too! We have the Erie Canal that runs through a big portion of where I'm from (Goes from Lake Erie to the Hudson River, using the lock system to take boats full of people or goods across multiple rivers. The locks raise or lower the water within a sectioned part of the river to meet with the height of the river on whichever side they were going.). Rivers were always something that were there too and always so relaxing and also such a part of the communities they go by. When I was back home (now two weeks ago!), the town my sister lives in has a "Concert on the River" and it's local/small bands that come and play music for free and people just bring their lawn chairs and hang out. There are a couple of local restaurants that are called "Bridge Runners" and come down and take orders for people if they want any food and bring it to them. Some other towns also on rivers all seem to have something similar. It's really cool!

The ocean would be awesome. I've always been amazed by it the few times I've seen it (The Atlantic specifically). Lake Ontario gives me ocean vibes, because it's so immense, but seeing the ocean and it being warm will always just be...such a weird feeling. lol

I've always been fond of bodies of water. I generally prefer the ocean, but there is something calming about lakes and rivers too.

In response to "What even is anything?"

It's also what I try to focus on. I wish I could blame social media. Unfortunately, it's real life that drags me down. So, I have to pretend it doesn't exist for awhile, so my mental health doesn't disappear into the nether. So I focus on things I can control and I focus on things that make me happy and it helps!

In response to "What even is anything?"

For me, it's always been knowing what is real, and what isn't. That old song, 'Everything Is Beautiful' springs to mind. If you believe everything you read or see on Facebook, you're really in trouble. The same goes for any Social Media site. A lot of people on those sites only want to create hate and discontent. The spreading of lies is their main goal it seems. I choose to ignore that and focus only on the beautiful things in life. The things we cherished as children. Dang I sound old!

Yes, definitely! It is something I try to focus on, especially if I feel the weight of all of the negativity. Cat groups on FB help. Seeing people doing good things help too. So I try to focus on those things.

Stik to My Own Beat

I have done stuff like that a few times! The same with seeing stuff on Facebook ads. I just hate that not all of them have their own websites or places off Amazon. It's just so frustrating, because I'd rather go to somewhere nearby and buy stuff, especially when it comes to things like wall mirrors.

Also, I still have my iPod Nano! I had to look it up because I constantly forget which one I have (3rd gen). I don't use it as much as I used to, especially since 2017 since the 2 cars I've had since I can connect my phone to my car so I've done that instead of using my iPod. I know someone else who still uses their iPod and that makes me happy!

Nice entry here with some nice thoughts.
I think, in some ways, we the people are very beautiful; then, in some other ways, we're also very ugly. Life may be a farce or not, but if we stick to the beautiful, we can make it, at least, a beautiful experience.

Law and Order

Prompt: "On September 13, 1990, the drama series "Law & Order" premieres on NBC; it will go on to become one of the longest-running primetime dramas in TV history .According to the now-famous "Law & Order" formula, the first half of the hour-long program, which is set in New York City, focuses on the police as they investigate a crime—often inspired by real-life news stories—while the second part of the show centers on the prosecution of those accused of that crime."

Have you seen Law & Order? Is this show part of your weekly viewing? How do you feel about the format always being the same? Do you find it tedious or satisfying that you know what's coming next? If you're not a fan what prime-time dramas do you enjoy if any?

I've watched OG Law and Order quite a few times. Mostly when I still lived back home and we had DirecTV, so I think it was on USA or TNT? I can't remember. Watched a few of the older episodes. I really liked (still do but haven't watched the show in forever) Law and Order: SVU. I just really loved the characters and how they had really good chemistry with each other.

I didn't mind the formulaic format. I always kinda enjoyed the "twist" and how the episode would always feel like a different episode by the end. It felt weirdly...comforting (that feels like such a weird word to use) to know the show is going to be one way and then as the third act starts, it's going to feel so different from how it started.

I don't watch a whole lot of TV anymore, though I saw that the Law & Orders are on Hulu, so I've favorited SVU and the OG. At some point, I'll probably just start watching some OG episodes. Be interesting to see how they've aged and if they've aged well.
