Officially bracing for an imminent shit storm
You know when there’s a pressure cooker, and it’s just about to explode? Well, I’m smack dab in the middle of the kitchen, a few feet away from the stove, and the pressure cooker is full of shit. When it explodes, EVERYONE is gonna get smeared, whether it was their fault or not. Just the…

Shitty people exist, and they live among us
I follow and interact in around +50 active groups and forums every day, ranging from film, scriptwriting, anime, videogames, to geopolitics, neighborhood watches and community boards. Not even counting the memes and shitposting ones, then it easily reaches 100. Safe to say, reading and commenting online constitutes about 90% of my social interactions. I always…

Moving out of the US (not as easy as you may think)
**Note: I wrote this on July 7, 2022, and forgot to post it because I was dead tired. Literally said: “I’ll proofread after taking a shower, and then immediately went to bed an hour early. My apologies. Double post today. This one is from “yesterday:** The list of close friends making plans to leave the…

“You have to make time”
There are so many books on my reading list, most of them literature classics and geopolitical theory and history. I HAVE to MAKE time. Just thinking about this exhausts me. I would love for there to be an exception to the rules of physics of time. If you’re spending your time reading, time goes 40%…

Raw-dogging reality, each and every day
Felt a bit of optimism today, a bit of “everything will be alright”. Immediately slapped myself back to normal. I want full happiness for the right, known reasons, not a sudden feeling that takes over without any explanation. Lots of people would prefer to ride it, and make it last. I’m not one of those.…

Officially starting again, but soon, like in a couple of weeks, maybe, IDK
I’m feeling it, it’s getting closer, it’s just a matter of time until… I finally get my shit together and sit down to start writing a new novel. Ideas? I have tons of them without even checking my past notes. Mindset? Well, there you got me. I have to start forcing myself to create more…

Yes, I work on the 4th of July
Get this. Imma let you in on a little secret. Only Americans (or people in the USA) have the day off tomorrow, 4th of July. The rest of the world has to work and goes on with their life like a normal Monday. The amount of “OMG! You work on the 4th?”, I get every…

“It’s just a ride”
Officially throwing the towel. Fuck it. Imma drink, eat, and spend like there’s no tomorrow (but responsibly, of course). The world is going to shit, fast. Might as well have some fun on the way down (if your privilege permits it). It’s not going to change for the better, at least anytime soon. Guaranteed. Greed…

Easy comes, easy goes
Found myself a little extra money these past few weeks, between some spare change in the lottery, a few over the top tips and a personal favor that paid more than what I expected. Mazel tov! Right? What am I to do with this extra cash? Should I reinvest in the bottomed out market? Should…

Might as well keep ‘investing’ and survive the imminent economic winter
“When will you learn, that your actions have consequences. You frickin fricks. Your fantasies can’t ever be quenched”. I know the markets are still crashing; stocks, crypto, ETF, everything will keep plummeting. We’re already in the beginning of the recession, and the FED is just avoiding having to finally admit. Been in the red since…
