2005 and some other things

We have started a new year, I'm going bald, and I feel that I'm losing my hopes and dreams. Watching some photographs of the last meeting in Madrid, I realized that I always see the same people. Once they disappear, or give up or whatever, what's going to happen? There are no more new people? Are we a declining army? Those are all the active users that are left? Well, I think so, and that is not that strange... Anyway it is surprising to see always de same people...

I'm looking forward to the next Barcelona meeting. It is quite near to my home, and I think that I should be happy for that. Just for one day I'd like to feel some illusion, maybe that way I'll think that life is not as dark as it sometimes appears to be. I do not depend on that but I know that I can count on that... Sometimes I think that I should have any other hobby just to have a little peace after one hard day working, and the traffic jams and much more annoying things. Maybe music, sports, study, or whatever... But even when you don't have time or you don't feel much like doing something, your MSX is always there. You don't need to think too much, just play. At this point, do I really need to fight for something? Our MSX are a deadlock hobby, but it is always there. It is like a present that makes you feel good. Just get something without fights or argues. A very simple way to have fun and forget our monotonous lives. At the moment this is my life like, to think that this is 2005 and we keep on founding always the same people....
