I know, I know.
I said I would update this site more often.

I’m on it. I didn’t lie.

But can you blame me?
There’s just so much stuff going on right now.

So many shows to watch.
So many books to read.
Food to eat.
People to annoy. (mostly my wife)
Gossip to know and spread.
Social Media to doom scroll.
Worries to worry.
Angers to anger.
Life to survive.

Plus, creating content is not easy.
It takes time and money.

I can’t keep travelling to show you where I am.
I can’t keep eating out to show what I ate?
Unless you want me to show you how many pizzas we order in a week.
The answer is 5.
Yes! 5 pizza boxes.
They have been my faithful companions this whole time.

Content creation is hard.
And it’s even harder now that everyone can do it.
Even my neighbour’s 11-year-old kid can post better stuff than me.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that little shit goes viral and earns millions.

Anyway.
I suppose I’ll try harder.
Even though no one reads this.
Come to think of it, since no one does,
it’s the perfect way for me to be as blunt and honest as I can.

Good thing these pizza boxes don’t judge.
Pizza is my friend.

Was. Just.
I. Can’t. Even.

Why?

Here we go!

1. What book or books were special to you in your childhood?
—I don’t recall any books I have read for pleasure when I was young.
Most of them are purely obligatory school stuff, so I could not really classify them as “special.”
Although, one book I remember reading for pleasure,
was “The Phantom“ by Susan Kay.
The inside story of Erik, the “Phantom of the Opera”, beautifully expressed thru his own eyes.

2. What was particularly special or memorable about those books?
—The things that I remember the most is how much anger he has at the world around him, and spent a whole lot of time controlling it.
As well as when he met Christine, the beautiful opera singer, and how he found hope.
Their love for music, kept their relationship very strong.
Such a lovely story. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.

3. Have you re-read any of them as an adult?
–You know what? I should read that book again.
Yeah. I should.

4. If so, were the books as good as you remembered them?
—Hopefully I find it at a used book store sale. Then I hope it’ll be as good as I remember it.

5. What do you think about movies being made out of children’s classics
(like the Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of The Rings, etc.)?
–Reading the books has always been better than watching its movie version.
I think a movie interpretation of a book is great. As long as it stays true and does not cut a whole lot out.
But I believe, everyone agrees with me that reading the book is always better than the movie.

——-
See?
I also read books and do other stuff.
Not just play you mediocre song interpretations
or write a whole bunch of nonsense.

I don’t pretend to be cool and funny like the other websites.
On this site, I try to be truthful as I can.
I don’t manufacture any stories for you.

Except maybe when I talk about my viciously amazing guitar talent
and my gorgeous Adonis body.

I try to downplay that a bit, just to be modest.

(I read that last line of joke somewhere else,
I just can’t remember where.)

I remember her as “The Character” of the family.
She has a great sense of humor, unmatched by anyone.
Always looking out for us, her nieces and nephews, whenever we are at her house.
Her kids, my cousins, were our best friends.
Her voice and laughter, echoes throughout the whole house.

I will never forget when you rushed me to the hospital,
when I fell and landed on my face,
A laceration across my chin, 5 stitches,
I remember, you were holding my hand.
As my tears dropped.
And your smile, assured me that everything will be alright.

Thank you for the memories, my dear, loving Aunt.
I will miss you so very much.

May you find peace.
