Hello everyone!

He's back! This time will be a little different because I want to talk about vanilla!
I love vanilla, the scent, the taste... actually anything vanilla calms me!

This morning I drank vanilla tea, of course with milk and sugar, which is really me. At the moment I have a vanilla incense stick burning. I even have a vanilla shower gel, whaaaaat!

Yeah I love vanilla! Vanilla is soothing, sweet without being too sweet...just perfect!
When I was younger I would buy vanilla milkshakes at different restaurants, just to see where I could get the best. At that time Mc Donalds won the contest. I am not a fan of Mc at all! In fact, I am pro Burger King, but when it comes to ice cream and milkshakes Mc is far beyond BK.

Yesterday I went out with one of my best friends; Martin. We played pool for 4 hours straight. Lost 9 to 4 though, but it was a good laugh and a great time! Still have a bit pain in my shoulders, but the reason could also be jogging. I go jogging every sunday morning. When I jog I tend to tense up my muscles, particular in my shoulder. Every now and then I tell myself to relax, but after a while I find myself tensing them up again. It is not such a big deal, I mean I can handle it, but yeah just a bit annoying really.

Today I'll probably fill my time working on my latest artwork. I believe I spoke of it in one of my previous posts; I am remaking my, what I call the season goddesses. ( If you are interested check out my DeviantArt. Currently I am working on summer, a preview of that you can find on my facebook. It is a photo actually! I was just colouring and Altaïr, one of my three cats jumped on my desk. You can find the photo here. I must say I really enjoy drawing and colouring again, just like I used to back in the days.

I am starting to get used to being alone now too. As long as I have something to do and my weekends planned full (which was the advice my psychologist gave me). The one problem is when I start thinking about my life. I will start to wonder what will become of me in the future. Will I be happy? Will it go downwards? Soon I find myself lost in thoughts which will eventually lead to depression. Before that happens I stop thinking about them, but it certainly doesn't make me happy though. Like I said as long as I keep busy I'm good and happy!

What I'm going to do more today is rip some cd's. I have a collection of new age music which I play on my alarm clock with cd player when I go to sleep in the weekends. Think about the sound of rain, meditation music, relaxing music, etc. I really love those CD's and if you want to know, they are one of my most prized possessions. I also play them when I am drawing sometimes! It's really relaxing! Even if you are not into that stuff it could help you relax. It sure does for me. Anyway yeah, so I am going to rip them to my pc. I already ripped some, but not everything yet.

Later today I will probably do some groceries, if I am not too lazy to get out. Might also do tomorrow as I start work one hour earlier. I'll see how I feel later.

Anyway, I'm off to ripping cd's and working on my artwork!
Once again thank you for your time and I hope to see you again soon!
Hang in there, I will too!

Yours truly,

Mike
