Twitter / X

Image
A man of few words... on Twitter... or X? Seems like a decent combination. I created my Twitter account in January of 2013, so more than 10 years ago now. I probably made it to fit in with the crowd and follow the birth of the social media trends. I don't remember all my usernames, but the few that I remember are "micfreshh", "iancruz" , "midoublec" and finally, "saboramic." In fact, this may be my second Twitter account - I might have deleted my first account for the same reasons that I am choosing to delete this account. I know I did that with my original Instagram account. I've had my current Instagram account deactivated for about a year now. I never was one to try to too hard to accumulate followers. I also never understood how some people could follow so many other people. Though I did unfollow a lot of people who I found not beneficial to follow. There were a lot of "subtweets" that occurred during highschool. These were ...

Los hombres construimos

"Aquellos que no aprenden de la historia tarde o temprano la repetirá" Dios nos construyó para que construyamos. ¿Y qué es lo que construimos...? Tradicionalmente el hombre construía la casa. Construía cada puerta, y en cada puerta había tornillos, pernos, manillas y varias otras partes juntadas para tener una puerta sólida que abría y cerraba, que tenía un propósito.

Rap Dad

 If you've been keeping up with my blog, fatherhood is a new and prominent theme in my life now. One day, recently, I was strolling in the library after having been to the gym. This has become a new hobby of mine as I've been wanting to get out of the house more. A book caught my attention with its title, "Rap Dad." I didn't think much of it, but as I do with any other book that interests me, I started to read the back cover and the front and back inner flaps. I was surprisingly intrigued to read this book as it mentioned themes relevant to my life such as being a contemporary, young father and the difficulties that one faces, the rap/hip hop culture, and the author being from Colombia. Yes, there was some Spanish in the book but it was mainly in English as the author is Colombian American (born in the USA and mostly raised there as well). Interestingly enough, he mentions chess as well! I read this book fast (in my standards). There are about 220 pages in total. ...
