I like....

• watching clouds eerily pass the moon with the waves crashing in your ears.
• winter sun fighting the morning cold....raking multitudes of shadows and showing the steam drift from your coffee.
• cool sea breezes tickling your throat under a warm scarf.
• watching birds float in the breeze above... guiding themselves so effortlessly with such little thought.
• searching for approaching ghost cats, so they don't throw you in when they hit your sail. (managing wind gusts)
• watching that pleasure dogs seem to have in cars, when they stick their heads out, being blasted by the wind. Look forward to the day I see one wherein goggles.
• the humorous thought that if I drink more before sailing on a cold day, the more warmth I'll get latter. (pissing in your wetsuit)
• that soothing content feeling back at home, all cleaned up, physically exhausted and sunburnt from a day sailing.
• winning a poker hand from a misclick. Then actually considering that maybe I should always just do the opposite to what I first believe.

dislikes...
- that surviellance technology has become so cheap, that its readily available to the point anyone, with time on their hands, from the comfort of their homes, can listen into the houses of neighbours they don't like as though their watching a reality TV show. Then embellishing the information they perceive in a negative light, and gossip it, as though it was public to begin with. Being so empoweringly addictive, over many years, adds to normalising privacy invasion. Some writers & advertisers can't resist it because it becomes a source of new ideas, with no fear of accusations of plagiarism or unfair credit. Being so hard to prove, the only defence for those who can't afford anti-surveillance seems to be to trap with false information or shut down any kind of reaction with ignorance. (ie. creeps, kids, & the mentally ill have access to illegal surveillance)
