Day 18 Sitting down on the computer a bit earlier today particularly to prevent rushing into my ideas because it's too late and tiredness. Every morning when I sat in my car to drive to work, I normally put my office address on the GPS to prevent (or mentally prepare) for any delay along the way and as "music" I tend to either be listening to "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" or listening to some YouTube video. My radio, for whatever reason, sometimes changes the audio input automatically and starts playing the music I have on the CD player (yes, CD player in 2023) but I could never be happier with the music that starts playing. I have inserted the album "Minutes to Midnight" by Linkin Park which I honestly think is my all-time favorite band. You see, when I discovered them, it was at the very beginning of career when "One Step Closer" started to creep into MTV and MTV Latino and I instantly fell in love with the song. In general, I cons...
Day 16 Today I was finally able to do what I wanted to do during my Christmas break, DO NOTHING AT HOME. Even though it is Monday, I was off work in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day which allowed some free time to relax at home and my activities could be summarized in 3 things: play a lot of Octopath Traveler on my switch, do a "majarete" (a Dominican style corn pudding) and watch lot of TV including but not limited to: a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory, Welcome to the Chippendales and the movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The movie originally came out in 1993 and is a parody of the Robin Hood story, is silly as fuck, quotable as hell, "bad" objectively speaking, but I REALLY like this movie. The movie itself brings me back to simpler times in my life, back to the high school days specifically (a time where this movie was already "old"). You see, it was a very popular movie among me and my some of my friends who have the same stupid sense ...
Day 97 Traveling alone is not a big issue for me, I enjoy it a lot but one thing that I don’t like about it is having lunch/dinner alone. Lunch and dinner have always been social activities for me, during an office day is the time to relax and talk with coworkers about anything but work, and on non-work related environments, is literally a perfect time to discuss issues and talk about life. On a recent work related trip, I was alone BUT I had to mingle and socialize with a lot of people, this in part because is what is expected out of a professional environment. At one point, I was talking to this lady and we both realized that even though we enjoy talking to “strangers” we do get a bit of social anxiety and she used a great word to describe ourselves, we are “extrovert introverts” and I think she nailed it. I’m a social guy, but normally with people I know. Having to put myself out there to meet people and start conversations is not something I truly e...
