Every man needs to befriend solitude.

I know a lot of people who can’t stand being alone. And I don’t understand that. Sartre would say they are in bad company.

Being alone means being with yourself. Being alone means to have a conversation with yourself. It means being yourself.

When I meet new people, I ask, “What do you do when you’re alone.” If I don’t like their answer, I don’t become their friend. People who say they get bored when they’re alone are actually saying that they bore themselves.

I never bore myself, and I like being alone. In fact, the only time I am not bored is when I am alone.

It is sad that people bore me. Most of them, at least. And that’s why I am bored most of the time. And, when they’re around, I like to drink.

Have a Cigar: Tabacos Half Corona

I tried to do a little research to learn more about Tabacos cigars, but I couldn’t find much online. I did eventually land on their website, but I wasn’t happy with the information provided there. I still don’t know where these cigars are made, though it looks like their headquarters are in Lebanon.

I lit the Tabacos Half Corona during my lunch break and smoked it on the terrace. I mostly got hints of leather and walnut. It went well with the strong cup of coffee I was having.

September 23, 2021: Goodbye, Summer

Strong winds today. Weather forecast says it will rain, and it looks like it will. The clouds hovering over the sea look furious, and they are coming my way.

I woke up with a hangover. I had my best friend over for BBQ last night. Him and his wife. Me and my wife. The women had white wine while we emptied a bottle of Cardhu 15. It was a great night. I smoked three cigars. On the menu we had grilled zucchinis and eggplants, marinated chicken breasts, merguez sausages, and pork chops. Good stuff. But heavy. Very heavy.

Right now, I’m happy I’m working from home. The headache I have is unbearable. My productivity level is low, though I’m still able to complete the more urgent tasks on my list. I’m managing, I guess. So far, so good. I have a few Zoom calls left. Once I’m done with those, I’ll be able to relax a little. But just a little. Later tonight, I’ll also be handing in a freelance project.

I want to spend some time with my wife, but it looks like I’ll be working until I sleep.

Anyway…

Goodbye, summer.
