Cabin Fever

It’s like this. Good Monday, Mi Gente. I know I’ve been away from the internet for personal reasons. Reasons that I don’t have to tell you motherfuckers. But I gotta thank two cities this past weekend: LA and Atlanta for understanding Donald Trump’s situation. And I gotta thank Flavie one more time for taking the […]

Day 8 | Reinvigorated

Man, this was a very scary week. But – it’s finishing with a lot of smiles and positivity. As some of you guys know, your boy was hospitalized this week bc of the long-term effects of some substances we don’t have to talk about here. I couldn’t make it to my plane to make it […]

Day 21 | Gindungo: 14 to go

Good morning, Mi Gente. The dream of today was a little bit weird but I’d rather start with my quote so that everything flows naturally. Today’s quote: “wanna find out who your true friends are? Get sober.” I think this is self explanatory and I don’t need to give my two cents about it. But […]
