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,…

How come…
How come I get sleepy during the early evening from 5pm-8pm, but then get this immense amount of energy around 11pm, lasting easily till 1am-2am? How come I eat way more when I’m tasting and snacking different things, instead of a big main dish with the necessary nutrients? How come I can read Twitter for…

The artist’s only responsibility
I’ll be brief and direct ‘cause this is a hot one for me. Artistic creators don’t owe anything to the fans. Their responsibility is to transform a thought or vision into a concrete object (or at least witnessable for even an instant), bring to life an abstract idea, or just simply become a vessel to…

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…

Wishing for simpler times
Don’t have a single clear and positive thought running through my mind right now. Really trying to muster the strength and serenity to just let things flow and avoid conflicts. No, it’s not seasonal depression. No, I’m not angry or repressed. No, it’s not the current state of the world (although it doesn’t help one…

It’ll get better… Eventually
How easy it is to finally start breathing again and keep going once you see the light at the end of the tunnel, when you can grab the rope that will help you climb out of the hole. You can be down a couple of days, or even weeks, and all that time sort of…

Looking for new apartments, WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
Real estate property management groups are the devil, and their demonic claws are reaching every decent, up and coming or already developed and gentrified areas. There’s always A guy, A family, A group that buys (and keeps buying) properties. Then they get ‘remodeled superficially’ (some new countertops, a fridge, maybe even cabinets), and boom, rent…
