🚀 Adventure Diaries Update! 🎥🌍

I’m on a mission to share my daily video diary over at s.veen.world/adventurediaries ! 🌊⚓
Tune in as I navigate the highs and lows of life—whether it's my adventures, sailing the seas, work-life balance, or the unexpected twists and turns along the way. 🌞💼🌪️

This is for all my friends and family so you can join me on the journey, no matter where I am! ❤️

PeerTubeAdventure Diaries🌍 Welcome to Adventure Diaries! 🌍 I’m Kevin Veen-Birkenbach, your personal guide to raw, uncut, and totally real adventure logs. Think of this channel as my video diary — full of unexpected moments...

Today was a whirlwind of emotions. It started with a lingering sense of unease from a vivid nightmare that left me feeling vulnerable and scared. I've dealt with nightmares throughout my life, and while they have become less frequent over the years, they still occasionally catch me off guard. These dreams often revolve around past experiences or completely random scenarios, leaving a lasting impression on my mind.

Despite the rocky start, I went about my day as planned. I attended a church service, which was enjoyable until the social gathering afterward. I struggled to connect with the humor and conversations, which left me feeling out of place. It was a reminder of how challenging social interactions are for me.

On a brighter note, I received communication from the university regarding my application to resume my studies in neuroscience. The request to explain my previous withdrawal caused some anxiety but I managed to articulate my reasons and the personal growth I've experienced since then. My GP offered to write a letter on my behalf, which was a surprise. I have a music rehearsal tomorrow, and although some changes in the music are causing a bit of anxiety, I'm determined to prepare for my solo performance on Sunday. #LifeUpdates #Music #dreams

Life has been quite the whirlwind and yet at the same time has felt like we are in limbo. We are busy but we are also trying to sell, buy, and move to a new house. We are not sure how our life is going to play out in the next month or even the next couple of weeks!

One reassurance we have is that things usually resolve themselves in the end, especially when we are doing the best we can to do what is right.

We just gotta ride the storm in the meantime 😂⛈️🌪️🌀

Hows everyone's 2023 going to far? I feel like we all tiptoe tentatively into every year now after the trauma of the last few years. No sudden movements. No "this will be my year".
But mine is actually going well so far

I'm recovering well from my recent #hysterectomy and seem to be getting somewhere with my other #healthproblems. I'm in the process of switching to a #vegan and #glutenfree diet too for health reasons which has been made alot easier by all the cake options 😄😋

Continued thread

5) Switched to AT&T Fiber internet a while back (think I already posted that) but combined with the (Google) Nest Wifi Pro, my network is much better!

6) Drove to Colorado for Christmas vacation stuff. Was an interesting time.

7) Baby is in daycare now!

8) Got the Bullet Journal, Journal. Gonna organize my life a bit!

9) Found a therapist that happens to not have any sort of copay for me, and this is honestly great.

10) Uhhhhhh.....number 10 because I wanted to end on 10.

My retro gaming experience is going well. I bought Thief II and Thief Deadly Shadows + Deus Ex on GOG last week on sale. All of them are playable on Linux (currently I am using Wine staging 3.20)

I am still playing Thief Gold, currently on "Song of the Caverns", which is the last Thief Gold mission. I think "Return to the Cathedral" was the last ever mission I have ever played, because I remember the cutscene after that.

This is one hell of a game. Even after 20 frakking years, it's amazing, and every night is a treat. I felt something like that, when I played Alien:Isolation too.

I also started to collect some Thief related links on my blog. If you are interested:

I thought about getting a new card this Christmas or for my birthday early next year. However at the moment I think like this. It's not that expensive, but it still requires some investment. It would cost me similar amount of money like my last card 4 years ago. But I also play less. It would be nice to play Alien:Isolation again (in high settings, yummy!), but it would be the only game, that I would upgrade for.

I don't know. Right now I feel content with my entertainment. Well I need a new earphone for my phone (more like music player really), because I bought a cheap one and the wires are slowly giving up. So I probably buy something more durable. I like listen to music or talks on my dumbphone (5 years old, still going strong, battery is a beast, hehe), and I use it for ASMR too. And thanks to that I can sleep very well right now.

I also thought about redesigning my blog, or just going with Hugo, but for some reason I couldn't manage to make it work. It's funny because I used Hugo before, and it was easy. I might just getting older, or stupid. Heheh

Anyway I might modify the "hack" theme for Nikola and use that. Probably create a nice "dracula" colorscheme for it.
