Q and A
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.
So… I don’t know a lot of sports people. let’s start there. I know the big names 90% of the time. If I had to pick someone from all sports I would say my kiddo hero was Sunny Garcia. He was a pro Surfer.
Sunny was such a bad ass and as an Island person a huge deal. There were not a lot of brown people I could look up to in surfing for a long time. I loved to surf back then. I wanted to go pro. I loved the connection I felt to the oceans.

Sick as a dog
So I don’t know it I told you, but I am full of COVIDs again. Been bed ridden most of the week but drawing to keep my mind flowing.
I love little studies when I’m away from my studio.
Tom is keeping me company mostly.
Alec has thankfully been taking care of me. This round of COVID is hard but easier because we were prepared. My diet was changed because of my diabetes. Mostly no rice this time.
I think / hope I’ll be better soon. I’m not going to push it too fast this time. After the last time it took months to feel fully recovered. My breathing was harder and my strength came back later.
I’m walking around the room for a few minutes everyday to rebuild my strength and stretching. Lots of water.
A few good books have kept me company and movies.
- the grand budapest hotel
- Akira
- Mastering Diabtes by Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro
- Birdking vol 1
- Raizes do Amanha
I like the ideas they bring to me in dreams.
Hope to see you soon.
Q and A
What is a word you feel that too many people use?
I hate hearing people use the term “devil’s advocate”. People who normally say it is use it to say something awful. Has a very Ricky Bobbie feeling.
I just can’t take you seriously.
The definition is simple.
The advocatus diaboli (Latin for Devil’s advocate) is a former official position within the Catholic Church, the Promoter of the Faith: one who “argued against the canonization (sainthood) of a candidate in order to uncover any character flaws or misrepresentation of the evidence favoring canonization”.[1]
In common language, the phrase ‘playing devil’s advocate‘ describes a situation where someone, given a certain point of view, takes a position they do not necessarily agree with (or simply an alternative position from the accepted norm), for the sake of debate or to explore the thought further using valid reasoning that both disagrees with the subject at hand and proves their own point valid. Despite being medieval in origin, this idiomatic expression is one of the most popular present-day English idioms used to express the concept of arguing against something without actually being committed to the contrary view.[2] Playing devil’s advocate is considered a form of the Socratic method.[3]
For me they never make good points, just argue none sense. I just don’t have time in my life to argue to past time.
Reminds me of Neil Degrass Tyson wet blanketing Star Wars movies.

A check in
Hola Galeras,
I try to be as honest as I can with you about my life. So this is me telling you about my health. I’m diabetic and currently doing testing for a strange pain in my stomach. I didn’t have a show this Monday because the CT test made me very I’ll this morning and once I got home I couldn’t force myself to eat anything. Hopefully the test will come out fine. I’m not excited about having to use a blood sugar checker on my fingers. My fingers are part of me making art deeply. My stress is high right now but it will get better as I adjust.
I just wanted you too know.
The Painter’s Breakfast will return.
Just give me a minute.
