I'm Back!

The title says that! I'm back! 
Back from what? 
Well, back to writing that's a first. To going back to sleep at decent hours and waking up at 4 in the morning! Trying to be productive and jump-start the day! That's what the pundits say that we should do to be successful 
To try and make some sense out of what's going on. Not knowing what the future holds. 
To starting doing exercise and feel better about myself in a while. 
My last post was on March 25th and ever since I've become more numb to the current situation. Going through different emotional stages, from anger to tiredness, frustration, to little moments of happiness and joy. 
People have been struggling out there, there are people losing their jobs, starving and I'm complaining that I'm going through different stages of grief. Well, suck it up! Because I'm actually pretty fortunate. There is food on my table every day. I have a beautiful daughter that lights me up every day. I can go out now and exercise and go on walks every day.
So, where am I back to?
Back to where I was in November? When I quit my job because I couldn't handle it anymore? To starting my personal journey and redefine what I want to do for the next 20 years? 
We are living in strange times. For the first time in my existence, we're going through a pandemic that is having dramatic consequences to our lives, more than we think. Damages to our physique, to the way we interact with each other, to the economy. I see hate and division and radicalism growing inside of us humans. Confinement is causing this and we've started to realize that this might be our new reality. Wearing masks, keeping distance from one another. What will happen to our jobs? Our way of life. 
Businesses slowly have started to reopen, but at what cost? Some people still don't believe it's safe out there and are scared to go out. I guess nobody will ever agree on anything. Science is not bringing much to the table at the moment. We only know that we have to wash our hands and stay away from each other. they're working on a vaccine oh that's great! But can we trust that? Can we really trust that these organizations that supposedly should be working for us, will take care of us? 
Yeah, now I know what I'm back to. I'm back to being skeptical and suspicious and not trusting anyone. 
The governments are struggling with something that they don't want to face. Nowadays countries only think about progress and economical growth. Where are the people that think for the people? Diseases and outbreaks will keep coming at us! And we should learn from the mistakes of the present. Please learn something out of this! Please! 
There is so much noise and nobody seems to care to silence it! 
I'm tired and it's too early in the morning! Go back to sleep!

Do We Really Need Another Upgrade?

Hello again, it's me! Thanks for being here. Today, I'm reflecting on a topic that's currently hot in the tech community, inspired by the latest Snazzy Labs video. The narrative that Apple's silicon magic is over is gaining traction. What does this mean? It appears that other chip manufacturers are stepping up to challenge Apple by creating new chips that promise better performance while maintaining low power consumption. Over my eight years working at an Apple store, I've witnessed firsthand how tech companies prioritize return on investment over consumer needs. Apple, for instance, has notoriously removed ports from its devices, forcing users to buy expensive dongles. This disregard for user convenience and the push for sleek design over functional performance—like removing SD card slots crucial for photographers and videographers—shows a lack of care for the end user. Moreover, these engineering choices have practical implications. Technicians inside the stores h...

The Big Shift: How I Embraced a New Reality Part I

In 1996, school was over for me and I desperately needed a job. I didn’t want to live under my parents’ roof anymore and was feeling a bit lost. I worked in construction for a while, but it wasn’t for me. I needed something else. At the time, I was in a relationship with my girlfriend. We’d been together for almost 8 years and hadn’t talked about getting married or anything, but it seemed like the natural next step. However, it still didn’t feel quite right to me. A long-time friend of mine managed to get me a job at the airport working for a security company with TWA as its client. It was great! For the first time in many years, I felt like I had found the right job for me. Little me, who had barely left my hometown, was now dealing with passengers and people from all over the world. It felt right. It didn’t matter what time I started work. I was pulling 6 am shifts and coming home a few hours later with the rest of the afternoon to myself. Living at my parents’ house and earning my o...

Absent

  Hello Hugo, it's been a while. How are you? I've been grappling with loneliness lately. Despite living in a bustling city with a home, a car, and a motorcycle, I find myself with only a handful of true friends. It feels like everyone is distant, and I struggle to connect with others. Starting conversations often leads to disinterest, and it seems like nobody cares about my problems. My current job demands focus and top-notch customer service. Resolving on-site issues is crucial, impacting lives, jobs, meetings, and holidays. Ironically, it keeps me distracted, but the loneliness persists. Reflecting on dismissive attitudes in the past, I realize I may have made others feel the way I do now – irrelevant to their future. The prevalence of online posts showcasing perfect lives exacerbates this sense of isolation. I seldom contribute, only capturing special moments with my daughter. Navigating life alone, I experience both sadness and joy. The loneliness is palpable, especially w...
