Miami Matters

Miami is great. Great weather. Hot and muggy. Makes jogging and biking at night very pleasing. I just got back from biking from Richard’s apartment to mine. We walked to the beach because there was a full moon party. Not many people there, because of the Coronavirus. It reminded me of how it was like 8 or 10 years ago. It was always intimate, before. People dancing with fire. Families, even. But in the last few years the amount of revelers has swelled. Perhaps thousands of people there. Lot’s of vendors, too. People are setting up tables on the sand to sell their artesania. It becomes like a little outdoor bazaar. And nobody dancing with fire. It’s outlawed. The Coronavirus has thinned the herd of Full Moon party people. Most of them phoneys, fakers, players, and flunkys. Now it’s back to the originators. 

Peace Corps Again?

I applied for Peace Corps Response. It would be a year gig in Costa Rica working teaching/advising on digital communications with young folks. Adolescents it appears.

The Lease

Life continues. Our lease is almost up and I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my life. First visit family then to a foreign country, perhaps Mexico. It’s close, they allow visitors, and I do like it, even though I have to fight off a few muggers from time to time. I’m thinking of holing up in Hermosillo, just south of Tucson, Arizona, to save some bones before Spain opens up.  

Carpe Diem?

Life here in Miami has been boring, but mostly that’s my fault. I’m not being adventurous. I could be a lot more active. But I know I’m leaving so I’m just waiting to move on. Not investing in the present expecting the future to give me what I want. But this is a vicious cycle. Because once I’m in the next chapter then I mentally ‘check out’ and wait for the following chapter. I have to live in the present someday. 

Unemployed

Still not working so not trying to spend money too much. Been chillin. Pool side afternoonin’. Lazy days. Poolside. Beach excursions. Studying Adobe After Effects so as to get a job as a video editor.
