Greetings everyone!
As you may know, I’m in a bit of a hiatus from my blog project, and I will be back with more, just not yet.
I’m building a concept that includes a lot of what’s in this blog, plus more and once it’s ready I’ll be thrilled to explain it!
However, you can start being part of it s of today, in about 45 mins, that is 9pm CST I will be streaming in the Cultural Deviant Coffee Club in Twitch, about George Orwell and his notorious political fable: Animal Farm! Don’t miss it!

It’s Sunday evening again, and it’s been a quiet one. Quiet Sundays are my favorite.
It’s been a difficult week, I believe I’ve mentioned before that I have been working two jobs as part of a plan to save money and eventually be able to dedicate more to my writing and to build business, so that I can spend more time in culture and arts; and well to tell you the truth I was fired from one of them.
So that sucks quite a bit, and for a person like me what sucks the worst, is that I was given excuses as to why this decision was made rather than, at least an honest explanation. The truth is the whole department had issues in the last two months and a scapegoat was needed. And that would be me, lol.
So that was unsettling first, but then I also realized that I actually appreciate having the time for myself; that’s the thing with adult life isn’t it? That fine balance between time, money and energy. So I decided to make the most of what happened this week and use this time in the best way possible while I get a chance to make more money again and resume my savings.
On a happier topic, I got time today to read a lot, and I started 1984 which is a book that was gifted to me last week and I was very eager to start reading. I also spent some time reading poetry and I’m becoming a fan of Lord Byron’s.
OK I think this is good for today, I have added an email address with the domain of this website so you can write to me if you feel like. Thanks so much for reading me and have a great week ahead.

In silence, the waves have stopped,
the voices of the crowd fade
and the ones who would listen, are behind thick walls.As the bud sprouted before the smile of the heavens,
there it found me, ripping apart my enclosure
traveling further than my wings could ever endure.Then it resonated boldly inside of me:
“This is the time,
this child that has been growing in my mouth,
it’s screaming and asphyxiating me with its feathers.
I must release it before it kills me.”So I did.
And I saw it, in awe,
filling up the skies with a haunting melody,
this melody was colorless and yet,
soaked in blue.My heart fainted and my eyes,
my eyes were mist,
at the beauty trapped in me
for so long, in the cruelest captivity.And then,
In silence, the waves have stopped,
the voices of the crowd fade
and the thick walls mock at my dismay.Unaware of my resolve,
to put colors in that song and console that free child,
now in the open world, now unrestrained,
yet all alone.
