El Ajedrez

Image
El Ajedrez es mi nuevo videojuego. Es mi nueva pasión y pasatiempo. Me siento súper bien después de ganar una partida difícil. (Empecé a redactar esta entrada a finales de octubre y quería publicarla en noviembre, pues en vez de escribirla, estaba jugando el juego). En estos meses del permiso parental, he estado volviendo a hacer actividades y pasatiempos de mi infancia, como ir a la biblioteca frecuentemente, jugar el Xbox (videojuegos como el Rockband, Guitar Hero, Skyrim, Zombies y NBA 2K), jugar la pelota y jugar el ajedrez. Ya llevo varios meses jugando el ajedrez nuevamente. Bueno, no es que haya jugado tanto el ajedrez cuando era niño, sino recuerdo haberlo jugado varias veces y que el alfil era mi pieza favorita, creo que por el videojuego de ajedrez que jugaba en la PC (deseo volver a jugar ese videojuego, pero me sería imposible encontrarlo porque creo que mi papá me lo compró o venía incluido en las cajas de avena). También, mi mamá me metió en clases de ajedrez en Killarney...

All of these conveniences meant that it was easier to access and discreetly play anywhere. This is where the job of the parent to monitor their kid's activities came into play. Although, this was so new that some parents didn't know how to react. I remember around this time was when peopl...

Twitter / X

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 ...
