Adventures in Ottawa

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.

Day 12 | Gindungo: 23 to go

Good morning Mi Gente. I know, it’s about noon. I started my day with this amazing quote “That’s the problem with putting others first: you’ve taught them you come second”.

Good midnight Mi Gente. It’s with a lot of pride that I tell you that the first real freedom is happening right now. When I was in Portugal, I was talking to my brother from another mother Mr David Hernandez, an amazing promoter of kizomba from New York. We hadn’t seen each other for a […]

Day 26 | NYC Subway Saga

The stupidest subway system in the entire universe. First of all, there is a lady sitting at the booth, giving you instructions to go work with a machine that has 600 buttons on it and looks like a fucking Japanese robot. The lady in the booth is extra rude, with a majestic moustache. After I […]
