Gratitude?

thunderstorms are great!

I hope it's okay if I share this story (I don't know why, it just came to my mind)

when I first encountered thunder and lightning, I was watching a news quiz on tv

the lightning happened, then the thunder, and the entire power in the house went off.

I remember at the time thinking... I don't know what it is, it's so scary- but at the same time it was so facinating

just watching the lightning outside my window

and I did eventually find out what it was

my love for thunder was born!

- The soundtrack of the video game Days Gone. I was watching my favorite YouTuber play the game, and he mentioned that the soundtrack of the game is so well done and amazing, and to avoid the copyright strikes he turned him off for his Lets Plays. Curiosity got the better of me and I listened to the soundtrack and honestly, it's one of the best things I've heard in my whole life, especially the title song.

When you got the time, look it up over YouTube. Seriously, it's amazing. Reminds me of the Elder Scrolls soundtracks.

Today I am grateful for

- The research papers archive arXiv.org I just got to know by casually browsing around that I need to have an outstanding command on mathematics if I ever want to get noticed. Amazing stuff. I'll make sure to make sure I'll make it. Got plenty of time before me too. I still can't believe those research papers can be read for free. It's some gold out there. Wish there was a 'chemistry' section too, although.

- Music. I like listening to Doctor Strange's stuff while I am on the PC doing some research on scientific research. Really pumps me up, like "Dormammu! I've come to bargain."

- That I have financial stability.

I am grateful for

- Dovahzul. Yes I am an Elder Scrolls fanboy. Nothing better than visiting your early teen years, which were beautifully entertained by games like Morrowind and Skyrim. Bethesda for the win.

- The song One They Fear by Jeremy Soule. I really feel like I am the Last Dragonborn whenever I hear it.


- TheRadBrad. He has left only one part of my current favorite video game Days Gone to be uploaded. Can't wait to watch the ending. And man, did I really watch 74 videos of a game and never got myself spoiled? Like, I spoil myself all the time. I even spoiled House MD for myself after watching one episode of it on YouTube.
