Day 25 And just out of the blue Nintendo and Microsoft announced that Goldeneye 007 is dropping this Friday on Nintendo Switch Online and Xbox consoles, and I couldn't be happier or more excited for this re-release. You see this game originally came out in 1997 and it was the game that proved many things back in the day like that First person shooters could actually work on consoles or that couch multiplayer was here to stay. After Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye 007 became the second-best and popular multiplayer on the Nintendo 64 and not only the multiplayer was magnificent, the single-player mode introduced and adapted many concepts in such a great way, that 26 years later, many FPS games still follow. Back then I was barely 12 years old, in my 3rd year at this new school I was in and that then I felt very weird. I did not necessarily feel unwelcomed, but I did feel like I didn't fit in. I was not part of the popular kids, I was not looking to be one either, I was a bit of...
Day 15 Oh, Sunday but I'm actually feeling very happy about it mainly because tomorrow is a holiday for me, the second one of the year (if we count new year's day) but the last one until May 29th, 2023, for Memorial Day, so a few months of pure work ahead. That said, so far, the weekend has been amazing and chill and the temperature in Miami is quite cool, and it will definitely get better considering that The Last of Us on HBO is coming out in less than two hours. Also today is my dear Tia Yeya birthday, she is turning 82 and is my dad's oldest sister, a woman full of life and with an amazing heart. She has been living in NYC for the past 30 years or so and it is someone who I visit mostly every time I'm in the city. She hosted me in the summer of 2001, when I was 16 years old and is the trip that I can definitely say was my first independent travel experience, much like my nephew's one. Thinking about my aunt and how old is she, had me thinking a bit about my ...
Day 2 Today has been just a regular day as any other day with the advantage that it was also a holiday, is always great not to work on a Monday. By now, the day was going to end, and I almost failed to write a few paragraphs but here I go. Nothing major to write about and I won't be going through my daily activities for the sake of writing and bore you with many trivial and unimportant things like: "I cook this" "I went to this place" "I hanged out with..." bla bla bla. I think the major event for today is my 15th anniversary of moving to the USA. I almost forgot about it but Facebook reminded me of past posts and well, it was a nice reminder because it made me think on how much I've accomplished since moving here, from gaining total independence from my parents to creating a life, that, with its ups and downs, is at a point of relative pure joy. It does, however, makes me think of the things I've left behind and the many sacrifices, worrie...
