Boredoom

I'm so bored! That sounds so typical teenager... but it's not that I'm really bored, it's just that I'm really scared to run out of things to do because then I only have my thoughts as company and I don't really like what they're telling me. They're telling me that I'm sick of the way I'm living my life because I'm not really living. Certainly my life right now is not what I wished that it would be, I guess it's time to figure out a way to fix it. But sometimes reality is tough.

whatever, here's a cool song

The Gamer

Ok I couldn't help myself, here's another great recommendation but this time it's not a movie but a webtoon! It's called The Gamer and it's about a boy that one day suddenly finds out that his life has become a game. Suddenly he starts to improve his own character just like he would in a game by gaining exp points and passing to the next level. And by improving his character he becomes smarter, stronger or more lucky. Of course he encounters enemies and I'm not a fan of the fight scenes, but what I really like is his train of thought of how we will deal with his new reality. It was so good that it brought me out of the funk I was in so you know it's great.

You can read it in english translated by MangaCow or Line Webtoons. I like the Line translations better but MangaCow has translated more chapters so I guess you could mix it up.

Vitus (2006)

Ok, so I've been watching old movies lately, and maybe this one isn't all that old, after all it came out in 2006. It's called Vitus and basically it's about a boy genius. Since he was small he was recognized as a piano prodigy, but he struggles with the pressure imposed by his parents. I really enjoyed the classic music throughout the movie but the most important part is that it truly was entertaining. And you know how hard it is for me lately to find a good movie so obviously this was a great find and I even watched it twice! So if you find yourself with nothing to do in a rainy afternoon then this is a great recommendation!

Beginnings

I'm weird sometimes... maybe all the time. One of the weird things I do is that when I watch movies or read books I really love the beginning. I can't explain why I like beginnings so much, maybe is the excitement of something new, or the curiosity to know how a society works, maybe getting to know a new place, or simply getting to know how a particular person thinks. I also like to know what problem the main character is facing, but however when the problem actually begins I quickly get bored and uninterested. Maybe this reflects something about me, like how I don't like to face problems in everyday life.  Or how when I already know what will happen because the story is so predictable I start to give zero fucks. So unless a story is truly interesting I'll continue to leave movies unfinished and finish books after a long time.

After that weird rant I'll leave some cool music for you.
