You are here: Home » Same Ole Me Nico and Christopher marveling at the Catedral de la Almudena, Madrid, Spain. December 29, 2019. December 30, 2019 New year. New me. I’m sure you’ll see that from many online friends while scrolling through your timeline on Twitter or seeing it plastered on your Facebook wall leading up to the new year, 2020.  But I can honestly say that whatever inspirational quotes I see on a social media platform or Peloton ad shoved down my throat, you’ll always have the same ole me.   New day, new month, and new decade.

September 13, 2019 September 29, 2019 All my life, I have been enamored by the movie Jaws. I watched it as a child and into adulthood. Last year, on a trip to Cuba, I wrote a story about the town of Amity after the shark attacks. I hope to be okay with using the characters created by Peter Benchley. Still, I have expounded on their lives with new characters related to them. I enjoyed writing this story so much that I typed it on my notepad on my iPhone nonstop for days in Havana, Cuba. I would hate for this story to rot on my hard drive, so I decided this would be a series for my blog and thousands of readers. This is just the first one.
