Blank mind

Day 42

Feeling like the weekend is going by in the blink of an eye and I won't make excuses for missing last night post, my mind was somewhere else, and I put this on the backburner.  Nevertheless, here we are. 

Last night, just as now, my mind is in blank space, no ideas are coming, and it is a bit frustrating to feel like this.  If I wouldn't want to write, then perfect, but I do.  Isn't this what real writers call "writer's block"? I'll google that, but anyways, not feeling very inspired or creative at the moment and the "fun" part is that I think it has to do with one of my cats.

You see, Pepe, of whom I still have to write a full-blown post about him, suffers from asthma.  I took him to the vet yesterday for a regular checkup and was given some medicine for his condition, he was totally fine throughout the day, but last night he was a bit out of himself:

1- Not wanting to be around me

2- Hiding under beds/sofas

3- Most importantly, didn't want to eat his dinner.

And well, because of that I didn't go out, not that I had any plan either, so that's why my mind was somewhere else.

Going back into creativity, I think I'll have to work on my inspiration by talking to more people, watching lot more tv, reading, and playing video games.  Let's see what the future holds.

The Shopping Cart Theory

Day 64 As mentioned on an earlier post, Sundays are regularly the days I tend to like the least in part because it is the end of the weekend, but also because lately (last few years actually) they have become very straightforward for me: wake up, feed the cats, grab breakfast/brunch, hit the town, maybe hangout with friends, go to the supermarket, and eventually watch some good tv at night.  That's a typical Sunday for me and the reason why I mention this, is simply because the "supermarket" part is the one I am having the biggest problem with. It all comes down to the relationship between "supermarket" and "the end of the weekend" and to put matters worse, going to the supermarket has been turning into a kind of annoying task but not for the reasons you may think.  You see, what annoys me are the people and not the task itself, and bear with me for a second to go a bit deeper. One thing that drives me nuts is when I'm looking for a parking spot, I...

That stupid social media algorithm

Day 67 Again, I purposely left the writing for the next day.  Last night, by 8:30PM I was lying in bed on an extended petting session with Taco and I finally disconnected from my phone no later than 9:30PM.  Went to bed extremely early (for my standards) and I was able to get a good night sleep which is great news. But anyways, switching topic a little bit, and it does have to do with technology and more specifically with social media and their algorithms on what information they feed you.   You see, I’m a big guy in general, big frame, very tall, etc. and food is one thing that I truly enjoy, that doesn’t mean I eat like crazy, on the contrary, I’m kind of mindful on what I eat/drink especially on week days, but nevertheless the whole idea is that I love eating and food. So I recently found myself watching funny little videos of food on IG and Facebook and what I “mistake” that was.   Now, all I get is food recipes left and right, and not of the healthy ones b...

A Dominican Maestro!

Day 99 Out of all the great artist that have come from the Dominican Republic, no one is bigger or better than the Maestro Juan Luis Guerra and the reasons are abundant.  For the uninitiated, JLG is a musician with about a 40-year long career with mainly Latin rhythms like Merengue and Bachata but also covering Salsa, guaracha, rock, blues and many other. But what makes him amazing?  Well, for me, it all comes down to his craft: the music and lyrics are just amazing, is like a poem made into music and he is not afraid of touching all types of topics: love, pain, breakups, politics, religion, happiness, sadness, joyfulness, sorrow... basically sings of anything at any given time but I do have to highlight that love is his main topic. He is a highly respected musician in the industry and one of the biggest latin american stars who has won many Grammy awards, and is currently the leader of most Latin Grammy awards so far with 28 awards.  Even though is loathe by many back ho...
