Some Thought

Yo, I honestly do not know why I lag so much on this! Okay I do know why, it is because I have been so outside my own thoughts I haven’t been focusing on the stuff I actually enjoy doing. But blah blah blah we’ve heard it before right.

Anyways, I started to read The Shining. I have been major lagging on it! I heard the book is completely different than the movie. I haven’t really looked into the differences because I don’t want to spoil the book for myself, but someone told me (can’t remember who at the moment), but they said that in the end of the book they actually burn the hotel down??? Which if that’s true; what does that mean for Doctor Sleep? What I mean is, in Doctor Sleep the movie they burn down the Overlook. If in the movies they burn it in the sequel, it might’ve been because things worked out different in the first movie (The Shining).

I also started reading this book called Postmortal. The book is about “the cure” to old age. This book technically takes place in the “future”. However, the book was published in 2001, so the prohibition of the book takes place from 2019-2029. So now basically there is multiple parts to the book which I haven’t gotten to yet.

“So, what this involves is me taking a sample of your DNA then finding and altering —or, more precisely, deactivating—a specific gene in your DNA, and then reintroducing it into your body through what’s know as a vector, or a carrier. In this case, that means a virus. So I’m going to take some blood from you today, isolate the the gene, change it, create the vector virus, and then inject that vector back into your system at three distinct points: your inner thigh, your upper arm, and your neck. That’s two weeks from now. And then we’re done. After you go home, the virus will replicate the new gene code throughout your system. Within six months, it will be present in all your tissue, and the aging of your body will be permanently frozen where it is. The rest, after that, is up to you.”

So the cure stops aging but doesn’t make you immortal … just … postmortal. LOL I’m really digging this book right now. I don’t want to talk too much about it because I don’t want this to turn into a review lmao.

My painting has improved but I still need more practice. For those of you that don’t know I have decided to take on painting, obviously because I have this time, but it also has helped me with my state of mind. I have so much anxiety recently. It isn’t like before. Before I wasn’t really in my head. Now, it’s like I’m taking in a lot of things and I have no idea how I feel towards things. How I should feel to things.

Okay lol that was getting weird. Omg yeah I have to link my channel to this.

That was kinda thrilly, huh?
