Thanks to my PlayStation Plus subscription, the African episode of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is now free as a stand alone.
The game is dated but I jumped into the Adéwalé character pretty fast and now I know why the following notice is posted on all their games.
Inspired by historical events and characters. This work of fiction was designed, developed and produced by a multicultural team of various religious faiths and beliefs.
Dear White People…run for your lives
It was pretty uncomfortable seeing Black slaves being abused, especially women being chased by White overseers. The game gently takes you through ways of how to free slaves from Plantations and get your own ship.
Gives me a pretty good reason to Level up to slice and dice White people in the most brutal ways just for fun but I guess the game is on the edge of being politically incorrect.
Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)The Stylistics original in 1971 is up there amongst my most favourite ballads. A colleague taught me about the Ladder of Accountability and it dawned on me how many areas of my life have seen me scale and slide down that very Ladder multiple times.
Living on past truimps leads me into a world of resentment and “Do you know who I am” territory.
For the longest time, I languished on Level 4 believing I was actually doing something when in reality I was wasting time and taking the blame. Right now, I’m probably on Level 6.5 and happy to have documented enough stuff to realise truly what the reality is.

The Top 30 Chat Apps are nothing more than Cocaine for the Brain. The moment you have the app installed you are pulled to finding out if anyone sent you a message or curious to see what others are talking about.
It’s been going on since school times and you know it.
The kid in the corner with no friends is teased and mocked as is the person you doesn’t use Chat Apps. Opting out of Apps has become a survivalist thing to help combat my susceptibility to Myasthenia gravis (MG). There are so many downsides though, lack of friends, people don’t know how to contact you, you are always last to know, conversations are out of sync.
Decision Fatigue
Too many freaking things to work out and do. I need to keep it simple and clean.
Time wasted
I’m a tech so tend to deep dive into any App setting especially the InfoSec implications.
Stress
If I connect or disconnect from anyone they really take it personally when in fact I’m just not feeling good that day or moment.
Wasting energy
My levels fluctuate unexpectedly and nothing is more draining than checking the phone 100+ times a day for a message that I’m emotionally linked to.
Money money
I try to embrace the same clothes idea just so I don’t have to make decisions on what to wear and it’s so refreshing and automatic. The downside is that people think you have no clothes or maybe you’re stinky. Quite frankly, I don’t give a dam.
Too many decisions
No meds today, 1 daytime nap, 1 massive personal argument
Exercised 30 mins, feel physically good today, no cough or infections
For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been giving myself excuses for not hitting the gym; a sore throat, calf muscle strain and left shoulder pains.
Ironically, if I’d been hitting the gym routinely I wouldn’t feel so physically crap. I’m a casual UK Garage follower so doing a quick cardio workout to Architechs’ Body Groove (September 2000) was perfect today.
A pure upbeat and optimistic rhythm. Given all the crap I’m handling, this is a perfect theme tune for the long weekend.
I’m faced with various degrees of bad and worst decisions as opposed to my normal tactical good or better choices. I’ve allowed external influences to box me into corners with sheer cliff edges and can only blame myself.
In the meantime, I’m limping like a lame duck with crippling pain in my left lower calf muscles, a physical memory of reaching the Alpl 14, 8671 Alpl, Austria summit last week.
Try not to upset the pile
On the upside, one of my mentees just secured a full-time job. Feels good to be part of someone’s happiness.
Come, my selector.
