Outdated or Old-fashion
I often have to think if I’m really an old fashioner. Yeah, I think I’m an old fashioned guy, especially when I do things like that, like I want the time to stop at least for a moment.
It could be wonderful, but unfortunately it isn’t. And what if it could happen?
Many who know me say, “Know that you are a fancy guy and you do not want in any way to keep up with fashion with the current trend!!!” … well, and what if? I really do not care.
For example, I listen to good music on a tape recorder, on a magnetic tape or on a regular disc because the sound is much warmer and more penetrating than a CD, digital or something like that, and which generally sounds metallic, I do not want to go into too much technical details because they risk speaking often alone.
I have two very good semiprofessional tape recorders and generally the whole audio chain they use successfully. I’m not talking about deck tape decks in a very good condition that I care about permanently. If you have the curiosity you try, you have nothing to lose … yet I’m an old-fashioned guy.
I am extremely romantic when I remember with pleasure, a dream evening spent at a beachfront restaurant. It was not important food or assorted wine, but the fact that I was looking at the sea in spectral shades of blue and the wonderful moon (beautiful of her …) coming out gracefully out of the sea, like an elegant and discreet lady to the starry sky, and everything was dreaming in as it happens on a piano music background.
The pianist was a guy between two ages, dressed in a black fractal highlighted by the discreet light of the scene. I think he was actually an unknown, but his hands poured the piano flap, music having a flavor in strict accordance with the environment, the sea, the moon, the sand and the light breeze of the sea breeze, the scene being taken from a magic story with fairies and elves.
“And is the world saying I’m outdated and outdated?” … is it really that way? I do not believe!!!
Did a beautiful lady once ask from human resources, to support an interview what age do I have? I answered delicately what age I had, and she, with an indifferent glance, replied, “You are too old!” and I gave him an elegant replica telling her that age is a simple number consisting of two digits that gathered give you a number full of exoteric nature that characterizes you at that time and “what kind of person are you!” “By the way, am I right?”
She looked strangely at me as though I had come in that moment with a spacecraft … And what if? Of course, I lost the interview, but at least I was cool by answering them in this way.
When I was advised to write, I was thinking about a lot of things that I could or could have addressed, and my Muse said to me … “My friend is trying something interesting about you!!! Who knows, maybe you’re reading, trying to address essentials that might be interesting, and why she cannot tell her or even a novel afterwards.
“Finally, my problem was very delicate, what should I do and how to write?”, That is to say to high-tech on a computer or to write classically by going to transcribe everything on the computer at the end? “However, handwriting is much more effective as it is used by most people and corrections can be made much easier, that’s my obvious view.
So I approached classical handwriting, because the writing with the pen on the paper is not replaced by anyone, and when you look at the ink flowing on the paper, in words written in a fine calligraphy, the sensation is fantastic.
And when you think that the pen was invented and patented by a novel when he was a student at the Polytechnic School of Paris in 1927, named Petrache Poenaru, the pleasure is even greater.
But later, the pen was upgraded by several companies, becoming a luxury item, and why not a small jewel in the hand of a man who writes to be a very interesting object, creating masterpieces that can remain in the world’s universal history. And I’m not over-exaggerating, well, I did not talk about myself, but I’m just a little fabulous, “what am I not allowed?”
But keeping a quality pen in your hand is like having a cute mania with a beautiful woman’s fine hand…. great what I like!!!
What may be more beautiful is when you receive a good quality pen from your loved one and who has been given a lot of love, knowing she always carries it to you, her heart and heart is always near your heart. And he has a great deal of righteousness as the coat you wear has his inner pocket on the left and so in the heart … “Of, and everyone says I’m an outdated guy!!!, please old-fashion I agree, but not outdated … “anyway I do not care !!!!
That does not mean I do not like modern houses with a high-tech interior, or old houses with interior decoration of the classical Romantic era with hidden fires that I only know, with a fireplace inside where the fire burns up … Of…dreams!!!
I love to browse the lucky cards or old books of old, the tab with the tab and feel between the fingers the yellowed pages of time that have a perfect flavor compared to the digital ones, to hear their haze as a gentle breeze between the leaves of a tree. I like to read a lot.
Each of us feels what I feel, but most of the time it becomes commonplace and you do not give it the same chance, but instead treat it as a common thing.
And once again comes the natural question is outdated or outdated?
I like to go to a art gallery when I have some spare time, possibly to be alone in a hall, to look quietly, to analyze, to study the style approached by classical painters, how to approach the chosen subject, the composition, the play of lights and the choice of colors, texture. It’s fantastic!!! The reality is that at least I am very helpful in addressing the art of photography….and why not? I really like it.
We are people, we think, act and react as normal people, even though we are different from each other, and when we find our perfect pair, our half manifests us with much love trying to convey our natural feelings on different paths only by us.
Is not that old fashion, if I can say? What would you say in this situation? Do not understand that they talk to me, NO!!! or maybe I do not know, but you yourself, have you ever thought of it, have you ever felt that, I know in moments of loneliness and peace of mind? I’m not sure!!!

I hear you, Paul. An interesting post indeed.
Perhaps the best life is one that takes advantage of the new technologies that can help (like blogging) while enjoying the old-fashioned things that we treasure. I still cherish a hand-written note or card that comes in the regular mail. And my husband still listens to his records on his record-player, though he also enjoys CD’s, especially while driving.

Although we have left many things behind and replaced them with high tech, in many cases we have not improved the quality, here you mention music, the older recordings and the digital. Something’s are classic and will never be able to be replaced for the better. I think mankind is among those things. Wonderful text Paul.

Civilization is being engineered into a digital, synthetic, virtual reality world with artificial intelligence in control…
Yeah, we who prefer nature would be considered old fashioned to the emerging digital economy with machines acting like people and people acting like machines.
