Car rental companies are a total racket
As promised, two posts on the same day to make up for the scheduling mishap from yesterday. Gonna give you a quick rundown of my first day in “Caribbean Paradise”.Airport shuttle was late, ok. Happens. Rental place wanted to charge me x3 the amount of the online reservation. At midnight, with no way of getting…

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…

A covert truth (pt. 1)
– I’m telling, the guy is a fucking moron! How can you actually listen to what he says every time he grabs the mike! “Hey, look, but—” — But NOTHING, I cannot believe he’s the chief executive. Hate this country so much! “Man, calm down (puts his hand on his friend’s shoulder and speaks softly).…

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…

NASA hires theologians to prepare humanity for alien contact, AYYLMAO!
A pandemic that came from having sex with pangolins and eating mutated bats, worldwide economic crises caused by disproportionate wealth and disaster capitalism, the meta verse launch, NFTs valued at millions of dollars… What a time to be alive! And 2022 looks even more fucked up than the past two years. “He who is afraid…

The self imposed hubris of a young wannabe-writer
Reminisced (wow, that’s a word I never use) today after seeing a comic meme that was aimed at my past self. It went something like: Person 1 standing in the frame of a room door: “You think you’re so smart because you read so many articles online. Look at how you look right now.” Person 2…

December 27
December 27 has been yet again one of the worst days of my life for a 5th consecutive year. Can’t escape it, it’s imminent. My destiny is to keep suffering on this godforsaken day. The same thing happens every single year. I have a great Christmas weekend with enjoying booze, food, friends and presents. Eating…

The Karen within me
Today I made my first official complaint to management ’cause I’m an adult (and basically a snitch); and I hate myself for it. But it was the correct way to go. Let me expand on the subject. I moved into a new apartment recently. First few weeks were fine, but now my neighbor is basically…

A very ordinary Christmas during very unusual times
Christmas dinner was a surprisingly nice experience. Who would’ve thought? I certainly wasn’t expecting a good time with everything that’s happening. 12 people attended, same inner circle, everyone sent their vaccination cards to the hostess and did a rapid-test the same day. Can’t think of a safer way to get-together and celebrate Christmas in the…

Longing for ‘Nochebuena’
Christmas Eve is probably my favorite holiday of the year, even with everything that’s happening and sudden cancellations (let’s just skip this 2021 and 2020). And the evening dinner is definitely the thing I missed the most about not being home. If I could have ONE teleporting roundtrip, it would be to go home and…
