Move out, move in, same day: Ready, set, go!
Finally, finally, FINALLY moved to a new place; a bigger, prettier, better designed place. It’s THE place. Great location, very walkable, and NO undesirable neighbors (at least everything looks quiet and everybody minds their own business.) The nightmare is over. Peace, serenity and natural lighting will reign. I basically left 70% of my apartment in…

Teachers don’t need guns, please
Whenever you feel your day is going bad because things aren’t going your way… You burn your eyelids studying and you still get a D at the end of the course, or when you get a tire puncture and you have to change it under a 96F sun. You know, life happens. Gotta deal with…

The bar and grill at the pool area
“Excuse me, sir. You can’t have food in the pool area.” — What do you mean, I can’t have food here? What are the tables for? “They’re for the bar and grill customers.” — But I’m a guest here. “Yes, sir. But guests aren’t allowed to bring outside food to the hotel.” — It’s just…

Friday market bloodbath (sighs, yes, again)
The stock market and crypto assets crashed today, yet again. It’s been a long January of bleeding money. Nothing better than going to sleep with the market already down a good 10% – 15%, then waking up, making some coffee and seeing the market nose-dive another 10%-15% more with YOUR LIFE SAVINGS BEING COMPLETELY DEPLETED…

The ‘double-date’ dilemma
Can someone PLEASE tell what’s the deal with the ‘double date’? What drives a human being to think: “Hey, we’re having such a good time together. You know what would make it even better? Throwing one of our friends and their partner into the mix. Doesn’t it sound like a great idea, babe?!” And of…

Travel and moving checklist
Sent an email to cancel my lease —> no reply for three days and counting. Don’t have a specific day to leave my old apartment, even though the new lease starts the 1st of next month. Property management groups are the devil (I said that before, right?) Need to do laundry and have 100% of…

A glimpse of incoming good news
Gonna keep it short tonight, and just give you an update on my personal life. T-minus 6 days for my trip to the Caribbean. Crystal clear waters, beach lounging, exquisite dishes, and escaping the midwest winter with 85F degree weather awaits! T-minus 15 days for my move to a new apartment (Oh, I never told…

The sound of silence (pt.2)
*for part 1, click here* [Lunch time at a diner]. ‘“Hey, are you still here?” Starts snapping his fingers in front of his face. — Oh, yeah. (Immediately refocuses back on his meal and lunch partner.) Sorry. “You were spacing out, man. Again… Everything alright? Lately, you’ve been kind of ‘out there’.” — I’m fine,…
