Everytime I can not find a book about some particular issue I am interested in I think I should write about it. Although I finally sit down waiting for it to pass.
It well might be that I am just bad at searching.

We were in a karaoke bar. There were not too many people there. Something called our attention: a guy was teasing a young woman. He seemed a bull under drug influence and was around 130 kilograms. Nobody dared to say a word, not even the woman's partner. Things were getting worse and the guy lifted his hand, threatening her. I don't know what wen through my mind; it was beyond I could admit. I told a friend of mine "let's go". And there we went, not knowing what the heck could happen in the next few minutes.
There was no harm, just shouts and some pushes. Finally the police arrived and all the thing was over.

I had a cat. It was black and white and it once scratched my legs. I was six. One day it vanished and we didn't know anything else since then. I think it had a stray cat soul.
There was a chicken as well. It also disapeared overnight. We had chicken for lunch the next day. I think you know what I mean.
Regarding our white mouse, it appeared drowned in a bucket of water.
I understood that I wasn't mean for having pets.

Wow, how I miss the old Italki; the lively threads, those whose opinion was a reference... I wonder where on hell all that is gone. Please, I would be glad if somebody give me a clue about where to find something alike, because the time goes by and I have to admit that I didn't find anything similar. By no means.

Things around me have changed pretty little. I miss going on vacation to the beach, movies at the cinema, or have a beer with friends. But that is all of the less significance. I often even forget that I'm wearing a mask. What worries me the most is how hard we will feel the blow in the next upcoming years, although, Governments showing out how incapable they are and people how much irresponsible, moves me to think that, in somehow, we should go through this all.

Irony and the affirmative meaning of the double negative
One of the most underlined grammar issues when you begin to learn English is the effect of the double negative (DN), at least for Spanish speakers.
In my mother language the outcome of a DN remains negative, unlike in English. Therefore, the students should avoid making such a mistake, which could lead to mean the opposite of what they want to say, trying not to use the DN in the same sentence.
Once you get used to dealing with that, what was an inconvenient in the beginning could be even considered a chance. I mean, this rule that allows you to start a sentence with a positive sense, changing its whole meaning later by setting the negation in the object,
is it me or could DN be regarded as a useful tool for developing irony?
And, am I going too far or could there be any link between this grammar rule and the use of the irony in a certain culture (English speaking countries, in this case)?
