I’m not going to lie to you all—my stomach is doing some serious flips right now.
Tomorrow is the big day. The FIFA World Cup 2026 matches are officially kicking off here in Houston, and yours truly actually got picked for the elite AC team. Our job? Monitoring and maintaining the stadium’s massive cooling infrastructure throughout the games.
To give you an idea of the...

Happy Hump Day, everyone! 🫡
It is Wednesday morning, my coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, and my AuDHD brain is currently running on 90s dial-up internet speed. To celebrate making it halfway through the week, please enjoy this story of how I almost got beat up by a trash bandit.
After getting absolutely pantsed by a dog in one of my older blogs, I foolishly...

@cheekywhisper haha I’m a visual person too so, I imagine the realization between the 2 would’ve been hilarious to see 😂

@kaylamelendez It truly is the ultimate visual! 😂 I feel like they should have nodded at each other like two dads passing each other on lawnmowers. Absolute peak comedy

Another Dark Lord Day at the 3 Floyd's Brewery, and, as usual, I meant to take lots of pictures, and took only one! So here are pictures other people took. Oh, and Napalm Death was amazing live. Yes, this is a beer festival...

Blade Runner 2049 is a deep, atmospheric sci-fi movie about what it actually means to be alive. It follows K, a manufactured replicant cop who discovers a massive secret that changes everything he knows about his existence.
My absolute favorite part of the movie is the giant holographic Joi scene in the rain. It stands out because it perfectly highlights K's deep isolation, showing the...

Shamelessly soliciting attention online for a mood boost

We’ve all been there: sitting alone, completely at war with our own minds, wondering why we self-sabotage, snap at people we love, or spiral into anxiety. Traditional therapy often tells us to fight, suppress, or "fix" these darker sides of ourselves.
But what if the parts of you that you hate the most are actually just trying to protect you?
In the book No Bad...

Letting the Players Decide: The NCAA's Beach Volleyball Bikini Double Standard:
Hey guys, let’s talk about hypocrisy in college sports. If you have been keeping up with college beach volleyball, you might know about the restrictions surrounding what players can wear on the sand. Personally, I think the rules are a massive double standard, and it is time we call it out.
Body Autonomy and...

Well said

Let’s be real for a second: on paper, Houston looks like a massive, concrete corporate gridlock fueled entirely by oil money and suburban sprawl. 🏙️ But if you peel back that thick layer of swamp humidity and highway exhaust, you’ll find one of the weirdest, grittiest, and most unapologetically chaotic alternative scenes in the country. 🎸
If you are an alt guy trying to navigate

I've driven the panhandle of Texas. After the fires burned back any vegetation. And El Paso is the prime spot to enter Mexico. All in all, I had fun there. I live in Boston so I know the pains of driving in an unforgiving city.

I was there after Harvey in 2017, unfortunately not much in the way of entertainment, soupy, hot, steamy misery is about all I remember, but some great people! Definitely could’ve used somewhere like Numbers Nightclub! NOLA a few months after Katrina was the same, but I did find some cool bars, great music & cool people.

If you thought my last post about getting pantsed by a dog in my Pokémon underwear was peak chaos, welcome to the sequel. I’ve realized my life is a walking comedy sketch, and it’s entirely because I am rocking the premium combo platter of Autism and ADHD (aka AuDHD).
Working in the trades with this brain is... an experience. Having AuDHD means I have two

I’m too old for diagnostic stuff, aside from a severe case of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) but it sounds like I’ve got what you got! Practicing Stoicism & long walks in nature are all that keep me sane!
