A case of the Mondays (yet again)
Another week started, damn! They just keep coming, it’s relentless and never-ending. The only way to end this cycle is expiration, and I still have a couple of years left (crossing fingers). Need my full night’s sleep to have enough energy to work, do stuff, maybe have a little bit of fun, MAYBE. Basically live…

Nothing to say, and that’s a great thing
Today is one of those days that nothing comes to mind. I mean, there’s lots stuff to write about, specially current events, but personally not feeling the whole talk about a specific topic or create a story energy right now. I could force it, but that’s never a good idea. Then I’ll write words to…

The sound of silence (pt. 3)
*for part 1, click here* Outside in the parking lot, he saw another man smoking by his car.A man smoking outside a medical office. Apparently it is the 90’s again. (He thought to himself). The same man then took a bite out of a sandwich, while holding his cigarette with the other hand. “Damn, he’s eating…

The weekend cometh
It’s finally Friday evening! And everybody always asks the same question: What are your plans for the weekend? This is the perpetual answer during my adult life: Rest, do nothing, and MAYBE I’ll get X thing done. But that’s it. None of that using my only two free days with unnecessary BS. Weekends are for…

Fairly and odd parental ritual
This may seem like a colorful cupcake decorated with stars, but if we look up the symbolism of the stars in a mushroom (same shape, if you notice) then we find out that it’s a very common figure in the Polynesian culture before Christ. Specifically, to the ritual which this image alludes. According to historians…

Calling ‘Happiness’ in the coin toss of life
Things are going well. No… Scratch that. Things are going fucking great. Which makes it even more terrifying and bizarre. New apartment fully set up in barely a week and a half. Fresh side gig that basically takes care of all my financial worries. Car is going to the shop and getting bumper to bumper…

A covert truth (pt. 2)
**To read part one of this story, click here** [cont.] — I may be a moron, but I know more than you’ll ever know in your whole life and the next. You don’t even have any idea of what you don’t know, because you don’t have a way to find out. Until now. Today, I’ll…

Valentine’s Day Weekend
DO’s – Stay-in – Put some soft jazz in the background (Miles Davis is THE go-to) – Hide your Valentine’s Gift in the basement/closet – Cook a steak dinner for your special person – Make a night out of it – Be more affectionate than usual – Talk about your first couple of dates, how…

A lifetime of neighbors (part 1)
Being a realist, of course I know the odds of having a ‘bad neighbor’ is higher than finding a good one. They don’t have to be inherently bad people, just inconsiderate, weird or even clumsy. Well, I’ve had my share of both the scheming and the aloof ones. The results more or less the same:…

The dog by the river
With the new and stable daily routine barely starting, the first thing I had to add back into the fold was exercising regularly. Back then, a long time ago (around December 2021 and January 2022, lmao) I had the utmost discipline to work-out at least 3 to 4 times a week. Then came the whole…
