good?

I love a good real crime show. So I watched Should I marry a murder?. I am also half way through The Staircase.

Something I have noticed, in my ignorance, is how often people who are the subject of these documentaries say, “I am a good person”. But, methinks, being a murder for whatever reason excludes you from being a “good person”. The very act defines “badness”.

Does intention matter? Of course it does. But saving yourself does not mean you are a “good person”. Does not the act itself define good and bad?

We all like to think of ourselves as good. But what does that really mean? Maybe we should simply ditch the “good / bad” distinction? And good “for me” maybe bad “for you”. Nietzsche would perhaps say that good is another way of saying useful.

Anyway, more crime documentaries for me today.

maybe Alaska

What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?

With the understanding that I would never travel outside of my home town …

I would love to go to Alaska. I know it is not a country but a state. I think it is the bridge between Russia and the west. I watched Northern Exposure and loved it.

I have holy cards of a number of saints from Alaska. Also the weather would suit me.

Again, not going to travel but if. Anyway …

none!

What are your strategies for SEO?

No strategy!!! I do not blog of money, nor as a hobby. I blog for me. (Thank you for reading!)

I am, however, aware of titles of posts, the category and tags. (Which, I think, is what SEO is all about?!) I often write the title last so that it sums up the post – or draws in a reader.

So thank you for reading. I very much appreciate you as a reader. And thank you for “liking”!!!!

news, coffee, and …

Tell us about your morning routine.

Well!? I wake up (normally before the sunrises) and listen to the news on the radio. I have a HomePod and I use that as my alarm clock. (Also I use it to listen to audiobooks.) After the news I get a coffee from the drip machine. It has a timer so all automatic as long as I remember to set it the night before. And then I doom scroll on TikTok for a bit.

That is it!

What’s the best way to meet new people while traveling?

Tbh, two things I dislike the most: people and travel. So maybe “I have no clue and I do not want to know”!? I am not a misanthrope – I just find life a lot easier without people in it. I could, however, image myself traveling alone. With headphones!

is she/he one of you

If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

I wonder about some people in the news. Or on the internet, especially those who are big in social media. Sometimes I think, “this person cannot be real”. So …

I would ask, “Is she/he one of you?“. You know who I am talking about. Even people in history – they cannot be from this world. They must have been beamed down from some space ship.
