The trials and tribulations of a man that just wanted to play vidya gaems.
Note: This post was meant to go online before the two long blackouts that took place in Venezuela, so with that in mind I suppose that it didn’t aged well lmao. March of 2019 is upon us; I don’t know if it’s just me but this year is certainly going Read more…
Venezuela has been going through a bizarre and excruciatingly long “calm before the storm” period all throughout February. All of the actors (be it internal or external) have continued to move their pieces in the latest chapter of the Venezuelan crisis. I find it opportune to once more bring up Read more…
And thus 2018 comes to an end. Without a doubt, this was the longest and most complex year of my life. I lost my mother and my life was turned upside down, everything just fell apart. Venezuela continued its rapid descent into madness with each passing day; everyone just keeps Read more…
Here we are, December at last! Deck the halls with boughs of holly, t’is the season to be jolly; I wish I could say that without sarcasm. I really wish from the bottom of my heart that we could exclaim that out loud in this small corner of the world—you Read more…

We’re approaching the twentieth anniversary of the rise to power of the Bolivarian Revolution. Twenty years, something that’s easy to say, but those words convey a heavy toll on every Venezuelan. I can’t believe two whole decades have come and gone like a snap, and boy let me tell ya—it’s Read more…
