The inevitability of your next argument
The conversation began with “How was your day? Mine was very complicated.” It ended a few minutes later with “That’s the problem with you. You never want to know anything about me.”What was said in between were apathetic murmurs and indirect attacks without any kindhearted purpose. The time bomb that just exploded had no way…

NASA hires theologians to prepare humanity for alien contact, AYYLMAO!
A pandemic that came from having sex with pangolins and eating mutated bats, worldwide economic crises caused by disproportionate wealth and disaster capitalism, the meta verse launch, NFTs valued at millions of dollars… What a time to be alive! And 2022 looks even more fucked up than the past two years. “He who is afraid…

The self imposed hubris of a young wannabe-writer
Reminisced (wow, that’s a word I never use) today after seeing a comic meme that was aimed at my past self. It went something like: Person 1 standing in the frame of a room door: “You think you’re so smart because you read so many articles online. Look at how you look right now.” Person 2…

The Karen within me
Today I made my first official complaint to management ’cause I’m an adult (and basically a snitch); and I hate myself for it. But it was the correct way to go. Let me expand on the subject. I moved into a new apartment recently. First few weeks were fine, but now my neighbor is basically…

A very ordinary Christmas during very unusual times
Christmas dinner was a surprisingly nice experience. Who would’ve thought? I certainly wasn’t expecting a good time with everything that’s happening. 12 people attended, same inner circle, everyone sent their vaccination cards to the hostess and did a rapid-test the same day. Can’t think of a safer way to get-together and celebrate Christmas in the…

Longing for ‘Nochebuena’
Christmas Eve is probably my favorite holiday of the year, even with everything that’s happening and sudden cancellations (let’s just skip this 2021 and 2020). And the evening dinner is definitely the thing I missed the most about not being home. If I could have ONE teleporting roundtrip, it would be to go home and…

An Omicron Christmas
They’re finally here! Christmas’ Eve and Christmas, possibly my two most favorite holidays. Pork and Turkey dishes, family gatherings, lots of desserts, presents and people are overall happier, that’s just a fact (well, omitting seasonal depression for the sake of this sentence). But this year — like the past one, shit— things are starting to…

Number 10
This one is going UP —to the main menu, I mean—. Well, it’s been 10 days and 10 posts since this whole ‘project’ started. One per day, just as promised, and keeping strong. First and foremost, I want to thank all the people that read my words and interact with the page on a daily…

Winter is not coming, winter is here
First day of Winter, whoop dee doo! Today is Tuesday, December 21, marking the winter solstice. When Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted farthest from the Sun as possible. It’s known as the shortest day of the year, or the longest night of the year (reads like a glass half full scenario, but ok). Some cultures…

Chronicles of a severe procrastinator (pt. 1)
Let me start with the obvious. Yes, it says pt.1 because there will be more. First step in any recovery is recognizing you have a problem. Bear with me, please. I have to admit, I missed this feeling. Looking at the white screen of the processor (sorry, black. Because in this house we have everything…
