Reaching out to the humans in the blogosphere
It’s been a while since I’ve had a conversation with one of the readers and/or commenters of this blog. I keep getting likes, views, even shares and subscriptions, but the minimum amount of commenting; something I find very peculiar. Maybe it’s a personal thing and I’m biased because one of my favorite things to do…

OPINION: “Ambulance” by Michael Bay
Today, I did something that I rarely do. I went to the movies (early in the afternoon to avoid all the crowd). Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE CINEMA, quality films I mean. The ones at the international festivals, small arthouse theaters and criterion collection. Not the ones that are meant to be consumed week…

Website officially launched! AntesalaUno.com is LIVE
Incredibly enough, after all the moaning and whining about, it’s finished. I got it done in a single day ahead of schedule! Have to admit that it took a couple of hours on and off throughout the whole day between the content migration and the bothersome trial and error of adapting old things into the…

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.

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.

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…
