These blogs are the compilation of some random shit that was written over the course of several years during the times that I lived in Medellin (Colombia), Cusco (Peru), Phoenix (Arizona) and Brooklyn (New York–not to be confused with Brooklyn, Iowa or Brooklyn, Tasmania). There are instances in these writings when I use the term “here” to refer to the destination I was in at the time. Though I make some modifications to older content before publishing–for example, I had to change a few things once Donny Trump was re-elected in 2024–I attempt not to make too many changes to the texts to preserve the essence of what I was feeling at the time I wrote them.
So when you read something like “they got some fine ass dudes up in here!”, I was more than likely sitting in a café in Brooklyn and definitely not in Phoenix. Conversely, if you come across a phrase like “it’s boring AF all up in here.”, I most certainly wrote that while looking out upon the drab Southwestern desert.
Read on and enjoy!
