So the topic of this blog entry is Final Fantasy. This is a video game series started by Square back in 1987, when I was around 4 years old. Clearly I was not precocious enough to be playing that early. It was not until well into Nintendo Power magazine that I was introduced to the game. There was a promotion where Dragon Warrior was promoted as a free game for Nintendo Power subscribers.. Read More
One goal that I floated around was having a supercar by midlife crisis time which for me is about a half-decade away. I am comfortable with two vehicles–one for fun/weekends and one for utility/everyday. Of the supercars, I vacillate between two main contenders today: a Lamborghini Huracán or a Porsche 911 GT3. Either would hit that sweet spot. I’ll elaborate on these for the sake of being complete. Young men following supercars is.. Read More
The world was right again. Everything was normal if only for a day… 2020 Fall Eibach Track Attack was hosted at the FIRM, also known as Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park. It was my first real race/autocross event in around 15 years and it proved to be fun aside from the fact that I was unable to run solo due to missing the prerequisite “driver’s meeting” that morning. I was also missing.. Read More
This pandemic lockdown sucks. Really. It’s the worst. The lockdown, at first, was a relief. Mandatory work from home? Wow, as an introvert, this sounds perfect! No more shoulder taps from coworkers asking for help or complaining. To be honest, it was nice at first, until I realized my wife was stuck working at home also, meaning I actually will never experience solitude. Then the governor began relieving the city little by little… Read More
I’ve been wanting to talk about Gabriel for a while now. The primary purpose of this post is to review his newest album Agüita, released quite recently on October 2 of this year, but I wanted to give some background to this review as well. I’ve been following him since I discovered him, like many, from Drake’s gratuitous sample in his track “Jungle” back in 2015. The track sampled, called “6 8” (likely.. Read More
Much, much of my life is surrounded by automobiles, which is ironic considering my wrenching abilities are… weak to say the least. That has not stopped me from learning a little bit about the combustion engine and what it is capable of. All of this information culminated into a realization… I really missed out on the RX-7. I was born an 80s baby, an elder millenial, if you will. My teen years were.. Read More
It’s been a long, long time since I have blogged. The last time I truly recall is around 2006 using livejournal.com, which I am impressed is still floating around these days. I actually tried to revive my old LJ but it was unsurprisingly purged.. I believe I pulled off all of my blog posts using an app called ljarchive as my words were more important than anything else. Perhaps some time I will.. Read More
