    Capcom Fighting Collection 2

    Note: I should have included this in my latest random stuff post, but I completely forgot… If there’s one thing that still hits me right in the nostalgia, it’s a solid Capcom fighting game from the golden era of Arcade gaming and now, with Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Capcom did it again. After the first…

    Random Sunday Stuff

    Thinking of starting a Sunday ritual here — a weekly post with random things that caught my eye and felt worth sharing. Not sure if it’ll stick, but let’s give it a shot. The Conan O’Brien Mark Twain Award special on Netflix. Hands down one of the best comedy specials I’ve seen in a long…

    Notebook Therapy

    This could easily be the name of a blog. Maybe it already is. But that’s beside the point. I’ve been trying to slow down for a long time — to break away from the chaos of daily life. To do that, I’ve forced myself to journal. It helps me clear my mind, organize my life,…

    Of Jazz and Whisky

    Ten years ago, I couldn’t stand either. Jazz sounded like a dissonant chaos. Whisky burned on the way down. Both felt like they belonged to someone older, wiser — someone else entirely, but not mine. I discovered the wonders of traditional wet shaving in 2017.This was how my grandfather used to shave — a double-edged…

    It has been almost 10 years since I stopped blogging. With the focus changing from blogging to social media, I lost the attention span, the time and motivation I usually dedicated to this… also, I found that my opinions and posts became mostly a drop in an ocean of echoes. When I and others started…

    Do you love Dune? I do. It’s one of my favorite books of all time. And the movie? David Lynch’s take on the story is the best we’ll have until someone comes along and shoots another Dune movie. Still, there are guys like this one that go beyond everything and make a cut from all the released…
