The weekend cometh
It’s finally Friday evening! And everybody always asks the same question: What are your plans for the weekend? This is the perpetual answer during my adult life: Rest, do nothing, and MAYBE I’ll get X thing done. But that’s it. None of that using my only two free days with unnecessary BS. Weekends are for…

Fairly and odd parental ritual
This may seem like a colorful cupcake decorated with stars, but if we look up the symbolism of the stars in a mushroom (same shape, if you notice) then we find out that it’s a very common figure in the Polynesian culture before Christ. Specifically, to the ritual which this image alludes. According to historians…

Personal rambling, nothing to see here.
I WAS about to go on a rant about something personal, but then I remembered “Hey, this has my name AND my picture on it. Anybody on the fucking internet can see it.” Then it falls in front of the wrong pair of eyeballs and it becomes a whole thing. No thanks… Pass. The nerve…

A lifetime of neighbors (part 2)
**To read part one of this story, click here** Ok, we’re back. Apartment rents are extremely high and they keep rising. Property prices are multiplying in a matter of one or two years and people are still paying over the appraisal. Inflation is eating up our salaries. Jobs are simply not paying enough. How can…

Calling ‘Happiness’ in the coin toss of life
Things are going well. No… Scratch that. Things are going fucking great. Which makes it even more terrifying and bizarre. New apartment fully set up in barely a week and a half. Fresh side gig that basically takes care of all my financial worries. Car is going to the shop and getting bumper to bumper…

Valentine’s Day Weekend
DO’s – Stay-in – Put some soft jazz in the background (Miles Davis is THE go-to) – Hide your Valentine’s Gift in the basement/closet – Cook a steak dinner for your special person – Make a night out of it – Be more affectionate than usual – Talk about your first couple of dates, how…

A lifetime of neighbors (part 1)
Being a realist, of course I know the odds of having a ‘bad neighbor’ is higher than finding a good one. They don’t have to be inherently bad people, just inconsiderate, weird or even clumsy. Well, I’ve had my share of both the scheming and the aloof ones. The results more or less the same:…

The dog by the river
With the new and stable daily routine barely starting, the first thing I had to add back into the fold was exercising regularly. Back then, a long time ago (around December 2021 and January 2022, lmao) I had the utmost discipline to work-out at least 3 to 4 times a week. Then came the whole…
