Still too much
As I was saying in the previous post, this week seems endless. I made a very brief pit-stop in Milan earlier, then Salzburg, and now I'm writing these lines from Berlin, almost on my way back home. Or rather, my new home in Los Angeles.
On the way to Europe, in my little cubicle on the plane, I often wondered how it would feel to see home again, the places most familiar to me after almost a year away. In fact, I can say it had no effect at all.
I'm not sure how to explain it. But I felt nothing, no nostalgia, no desire to return. My only thought was damn, it's cold!
Perhaps this introspective reflection has brought a bit more inner peace. Recognizing that I could truly live anywhere in the world, what's important is being with Noemi and Panna.
I am quite exhausted and feel the need to go home and sleep in my bed. And finally, next week we will have our first vacation since we moved, taking the opportunity of Thanksgiving to go first to Sequoia National Forest and then to Death Valley.
I can't wait.
But let's get to the title of the post. Why too much? If you haven't noticed, in these last 3 weeks there has been a lot of online discussion about which new microblogging platform to migrate to after X. I always thought Threads could be a good candidate, now Bluesky seems to be back on the rise, and this interests me only because many gaming industry folks are moving there.
Indeed, it's the only reason I'm currently using all three. But I've reached a point where I can't stand any of them anymore. They don't deserve my time. They don't deserve my attention, except, of course, for work-related matters. Unfortunately.
Having said that, I have the great fortune and privilege of owning this blog. I might make some changes in the coming weeks, like going back to the contino.com domain as soon as Manuel finds the time to migrate. Or maybe try to post more frequently without necessarily writing a torrent of words.
