    Music Roulette 8 ~ What’s the Frequency, Spotify

    June 28, 2026 /No Comments

    I read somewhere that music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Listening to certain songs will take us back in time to specific developmental periods in our lives, like timestamps in our personal history. I completely agree. Certain songs mean certain things. And certain songs evoke specific emotions. Music is a powerful tool, certainly not the “blunt tool” that Hannibal Lecter accuses Clarice of using on him at their first meeting in The Silence of the Lambs. Time to dissect with another round of music roulette.

    The music survived the marriage. The person to share it with didn't.

    The Body of Evidence

    June 24, 2026 /No Comments

    Neighbors in Guatemala remember my mother as "El cuerpo." A force of nature. A woman they speak about in awe. I inherited her face. I'm trying to figure out if I also inherited the thing that broke her.

Writing about the random ass shit going on in my life since 2007. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
