Distractions

Berkeley, Tuesday, February 3, 2026 1:58 AM

Although, it was not a long day. I was doing relevant activities until mid night.

It came to my mind to check a few news.

And some starts after midnight.

I saw that Alcaraz, who I have followed since around 2022, won his at least seven Grand Slam, the Australian Open. That is great.

I was reading a bit about the career slams.

Then, I learned about Margaret Court, who has been the most succesful woman tennis player in history.

She struck than she looks quite similar to someone I know.

[The font size is too small here. Or something happened to my eyes as a result of the VOCs]

Regardless, then I watched a brief interview of her.

Then, comes the problem of suggestions, if one is in the youtube environment.

A year, probably during some time in 2022, and probably during other times, I used to watch time by time, a full interview or part of the interview of El Castigo Divino by Vivanco.

He had a good ability to keep the conversation going with questions prepared in his napkin, while offering a beer or a wine or whisky to the guest, or water if they did not want to drink.

It was quite interesting and deep at time. I still think he had a good profile as thinker. The drinking part could be ambiguous, but rarely there were any excesses, i.e. three beers.

To another analogy, someone called Matt, I believe, use to have, or probably still have a podcast called Pints with Aquinas.

There has been a tradition on moderation and on having a beer. My wrongdoing, topic aside, on comment on that topic a few weeks ago.

The key part is moderation.

Well, someone from the current Ecuadorian Government party, ADN, bought the channel where Castigo Divino used to be broadcasted, which was named la Posta.

So, youtube presented me with a video of the former buddy or business partner from Vivanco, whose name I believe is Anderson Boscan.

I was curious what was up with their current careers.

So then I searched for Vivanco and La Posta, and I was searching what was the current content of La Posta.

I saw one or two recent interviews of him. Well part of them. In one, he was describing that is the first time after 20 year of career that he was unemployed. I other folks were talking about CBD or marihuana or things that I do not know well yet. Even if it is in theory. But seems that folks have a clear understanding on names, varieties, and acronyms, which I have heard in recent conversations.

Well, Vivanco cited a video from Christian Castro, where he is interviewed by someone called Dante, at CNN radio, Castro said that is teaching people to do nothing.

Funny enough, for the accent, probably, someone from Colombia interviewed a Catholic priest, and asked about that and contemplation.

I did not continuie watching stuff. I am just surprised how a question regarding Margaret Court led me to so many paths on the internet for about, probably almost an hour and 40 minutes. I will call it two hours.

Good to keep notes. Track time. Have the goal of the search, and be focused on the practice, and potentially deliverables. Other things are interesting, but if they are deviated from an original question, it because wandering and noise.

Well, now I need to answer a few more questions by reading on the internet.

I do not proof reading here on those reflections. Apologies if there is a reader. First draft are meant to be trash, but there are still very meaningful. because they are the foundation. The editing and beautification might are a different art, and itself might end up discarding the original draft or changing the topic, but a very simple sketch from Saint John of the Cross has survived for years and have become something. All text on here, on my side, are first drafts.
