No more postponing, time to get it done
I received two very important emails this week. One was a follow-up from the Editorial, in regards to my second novel’s marketing campaign. I’ve been postponing this for months. With the winter at full force, moving and furnishing a new apartment, getting new side gigs, dealing with trips and personal shit, I had to put…

A post about doing nothing
Today is one of those nights that I just want to watch some football highlights on YouTube, maybe play some video games. Hell… I’ll even get to researching and studying for my next novel or even update my financials. ANYTHING but writing. Just not feeling. Everything is going more than OK. Fully booked with clients.…

Untitled dialogue #2 (overheard)
A young woman was talking with a friend on her cellphone while waiting for the subway at the station. It was on speaker, and could easily be heard if you were sitting nearby. “Would you believe the landlord sent me an email today at 7am in the morning?” — Girl, what?! “Yea, fucking unbelievable.” — What did…

Fools Spring, Third Winter, Mud Season, and then Summer
First Monday of April! Spring weather is here (not). Maybe coming soon, most likely in a couple of weeks. It doesn’t matter. We’re basically skipping spring and replacing with a ‘chill winter temperature”, then immediately jumping into summer with 80F. Lots of work and stuff to do this month. Gonna use it as a transition…

“But doctor… I am Pagliacci”
Don’t you ever wish you can just quit everything? Your job, your bills, your debts, your responsibilities, paying the rent, answering call, writing texts, filling the gas tank, doing exercises, brushing your teeth, filing taxes… There are some days where enough is enough. It’s fucking relentless, and it doesn’t stop till you die. All of…

“I’m not a scammer” is what a scammer would probably say
There is a ver particular and special circle of hell reserved for online scammers. People on the internet looking to make a quick buck by preying on others. They are getting more sophisticated every month that passes. I remember years back, it was eBay fraud. They ‘sold’ trending items and never shipped them. Luckily, the…

Today was a good day
As a general rule, I sleep better on days that I was EXTRA productive and got tons of shit done. Today was one of those days. Everything from my day-to-day got realized, like work, exercise and groceries. Now add filing my taxes, updating my financials, study time and even a good chunk of time to…

As long as the vices exist, man will be slave to them. He who serves gambling, drugs, sex, etc. shall hold the power. Generation after generation, that is the story of humanity, being caught in the same detrimental cycle till death. Most people never even go near them. A few lucky ones fall into deep…

March 29, 2022: The day I finally bought a printer
I went through high school, college, grad school and my young adult life printing at my neighbors’ house, dad’s office, Office Max, computer labs at the universities, then my job, and even my friends’ jobs. Of course, it was never more than 1-3 pages. So, it wasn’t any problem at all. Printers have been my…

An Oscars night to remember, but better to forget
I’m guessing almost everyone with a mobile phone (or in touch with someone that has one) knows about the altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock. A man walked on stage while another man was hosting, and hit him in the face on account of a tasteless (wrong, weak, unnecessary, etc. insert a negative adjetive)…
