Eh, as I’ve mentioned in my last post, I’ve been incredibly busy. I also mentioned I had some life changing stuff going on with my partner, regarding a new business opportunity. Well, I am so incredibly happy to report that it all went great. Contracts have been signed and he managed to succeed in a very difficult negotiation. So, we are beyond elated.
Now, to reward myself (shut up, I am rewarding myself for being patient; that must be worth something, right? RIGHT?!), I have planned several things for the next few months. Namely:
- Finished off the design of my next tattoos. Which you know, I’ve been leaving in tattoo limbo for a few months (my ink takes months to materialize, from the moment I begin to toy with an idea till I know EXACTLY what I want; also, all my ink is pretty personal and not something I take lightly). So, I am happy to report that I have settled down with everything I want to add to my colorful body. I only get inked with one specific guy here in Amsterdam so now I have to struggle with his incredibly lengthy waiting lists, but that’s another story altogether. At least step one is completed.
- Planned a city break in Brussels for the weekend of April 15th (just a couple of days off, enough to get away from routine). I love Brussels, plus I have a couple of reasons to justify being there (not that I need reasons, but in my mind, I always do).
- Planned a 5 day trip to Barcelona on the first week of June. Barcelona is like a second home (or third, counting Buenos Aires) to me. I have plenty of friends, former working partners and it is like visiting family. Plus eating like nowhere else (except maybe France), and enjoying a city I simply adore.
- Been struggling with my ethics and beliefs due to a political candidate I am supposed to support, but instead, I just want to expose in her bigotry. I promised I would let other people handle it, but I am furious because of some shit I found out (racism, prejudice, etc.) and I would love nothing more than to capture her in all her asinine ideas so that everyone can see who she is. This is what I hate about politics. This is something that puts me off from the entire thing. But I am tired of always being the one who throws stones from the outside so I have been trying hard. It just is not in my nature to compromise much, at least not in the things I believe in without flexibility. Like you know, ever supporting a candidate who is extremely bigoted towards Muslims, even though such position is the opposite of what her party supposedly stands for. One thing is clear, though: I would rather gnaw my own hand than ever vote for her. Or support her career in any shape or form.
But anyway… I am back and bitchy than ever. Which is not really a good thing.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
