Saturday post – late – lifelong friends (in the making)
As you already know from my past post, one of my best friends from college surprised with a visit (gave me a 4-day notice, it worked out perfectly). He lives in Miami, so, it was a pretty big deal. But yea, had to make a lot of changes to accommodate him, like moving around some…

Friday post – late – About a friend
One of my best friends from college and post-college life gave me a surprise visit today. He basically gave me a 24 hour notice saying that he was going to be near me for a couple of days, and was willing to travel a couple of hours to meet up. Fucking of course, let’s go.…

Friendly reminder of the state of the world
I really don’t see things ‘getting better’. We’ll just adapt, compartmentalize, cope and keep surviving. School shootings will keep happening in the US (it’s already the norm, clear backpacks and armed guards don’t stop them).Mental health will keep deteriorating (How can it get better? More drugs? If the main problems causing unhappiness aren’t dealt with,…

Keeping it short and simple; Also, get some dessert
I rather have any carrot cake, than no carrot cake. Definitely, absolute truth. Even if it’s a subpar one, gimme it. I’ll take it, give me that super sweet cream cheese frosting on top of mediocre carrot filling. I don’t care. Will gulf it down in three bites. You can’t have a great one every…

Toxic virality
Today, one of my posts went viral. Not in the millions of engagements, but over the 100K reach with hundreds of comments and engagements. You may think, well, that’s not a lot. Maybe not in the grander scale of the internet, but inside a closed community with niche topics, it’s big. I’ll spare you the…

AC on, battery 100%, and a ripe apple
Are we really seeing light at the end of the tunnel, or do we adapt to the darkness and start seeing more and more in pitch black surroundings? I was playing online with my friends (something that happens maybe once a month for a couple of hours under strict scheduling), and in the middle of…

Concept: Full Movie Sunday
Today I decided to break from the depressive routine most humans define as ‘current reality’, living in chaos with the actions of other hurting you directly and causing adverse consequences. So, I indulged in a past tradition from my film studying days: Full Movie Sunday. Haven’t had one in months! Maybe even a whole year.…

Good/Bad things, the odds are against you (most probably)
The amount of clarity one achieves once the worst possible outcome has turned into your reality is unequaled. “What are the fucking odds that will happen?” is usually the story of my life. At first it was like a joke of being over prepared; or borderline cynic. A ‘HA-HA, come on, let’s at least indulge…

Analyzing system… Defragmentation and repair needed
I need a couple of mental health days, or at least a full week off. No responsibilities, no thinking, no planning, no dealing with consequences. Just taking things slow, and concentrating on living. I’m spent. And no, it’s not even taking vacations (although they can certainly help). It’s more like wanting to be inside a…

After everything, there’s even more; the fight continues
Once you have been ambushed by the beast, and lived to tell the tale, it’s similar to being reborn. Fear is no longer a part of you. The world suddenly seems smaller. You found a new power within, and it’s up to you to nurture it. The time will arrive again when another beast under…
