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…

The sound of silence (pt.1)
In a medical waiting room, a man walks up to the front desk to speak with the receptionist. “Greetings, I have an appointment now at 11am.” – Name? “Mauro” — Full name, sir “Mauro Bever” “Mr. Bever, this way. I understand this is your first appointment with us. Fill out the form with all your…

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,…

Day 31, DONE!
Officially made it to post Number 31. It’s been a long ass month. Still here, still fighting the good fight and still taking hits. To be honest, it’s not really hard finding things to write about (especially POV blog-style). What takes a toll on you are those very stressful days that drain every ounce of…

You may say I’m a cynic, but I’m not the only one
Probably one of my favorite sayings (maybe I just think about it a lot and it’s really not that common) is: “Expect the worst of people, and never get disappointed.” Two scenarios can come out, 100% guaranteed each and every time:1- Bad stuff happens, and you were prepared to deal with it.2- Good stuff happens,…

Nothing left to do but wait
After weeks of hardships and actually putting in the effort to resolve my situation, tomorrow is THE day that decides my next 12 months, and I don’t have absolutely any control over it. A random guy gets to decide if I win the lease over several applicants. Which is complete bullshit by the way ’cause…
