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)…

A perfect Sunday goes as follows

Once every once in a while, the universe delivers a perfect day with mishaps. Obviously, everyone’s definition of a ‘perfect day’ varies, that’s what makes it so special when it happens (especially if shared with your special person). First, you must have had a great night before.Then you wake up whenever your want, and get…

Untitled dialogue #1 (overheard)

Someone knocks on the door on a residential building. A woman quickly answers and opens it. -Kate? “Yes, thanks for getting here so fast, but he already left.” -Can I come in and have a look around? “Of course, please do. I’m making coffee, do you want some?” -Coffee? At this time of night? No,…

Meet my neighbor, I named her “Elle”

I think my next door neighbor (same building apartment) is going through something; it’s probably bad, don’t know exactly, but it’s most certainly weird. Not to get into specifics, she’s a single middle aged woman that lives with her big dog (love him btw), uses the washer and dryer at least once a week, listens…

Another taco, por favor

Is there really such a thing as too much salsa in your tacos? Yes! I found out the hard way. Discovered a new legit Mexican restaurant (meaning, workers speak Spanish and food recipes taste like the real thing) about 2-3 minutes from my house. Was so excited after finishing my plate of carnitas, that I…

The key to hating your job and still finding happiness

I don’t want to work today —> Who even wants to work +40 hours a week. But we gotta pay the bills. Literally work to survive. That’s the system we have in place. I mean, you can get some incentives and aids, but we all know they’re not enough or simply put, you won’t be able…

In desperate need of more days, or more hours, or less work

It’s getting to the point where 24 hours a day is simply not enough for everything I have, want and need to do. Adding rest, exercise and some procrastination (of course). I will not lose sleep in my day to day just to be able to keep up. Then I’ll feel tired and like shit…

Movie alert! “Disco is not dead! Disco is LIFE” -Tony P.

I had lots of work during the weekend. I’m beat, but I will leave you with a VERY underrated comedy movie recommendation: Mystery Men (1999) Over 20 years ago, before the Marvel and DC cinematic universes, there was Mystery Men. Look, I’m not gonna overhype it, nor write a whole criticism on it. Gonna stay…
