How do you manage screen time for yourself?

I see myself in the third person after being on my phone too long. Like the universe has given me a tv show about me, staring me and how I did nothing for an hour. 😂😂

Most of the time I’m reading articles and books on my phone or iPad and I still wish I was outside in a chair with a real physical book. It’s all just a balance in a lot of ways.

It’s like being on a boat and only seeing the ocean from a window. You watch the world from your phone while being in the world. I have the same problem with my camera. Being present can be difficult. All you can do is try to be present.

Sometimes it’s all that really matters to me.

Q and a

What historical event fascinates you the most?

Hola galeras,

What a entertaining question. I’m so tempted too say something fictional but I’ll be on it. Hmmm… I always found age of the Mayan. They have this amazing story telling that is unmatched. The Mayan believed that the world was remade four times and we are living in the new world. The concept is very interesting to me.

Q and a

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

My first cold living with a roommate hit me like a bullet. Not a soul really cared if I was ok. I had to pick myself up and drive to the store and buy medicine. This is twenty years before the pandemic but it felt like I was done for. I must of had a 103 fever and crawled out of bed into clothes. By the time I got out of the car I was covered in swet. To this day I think about that feeling.

I knew I was in full adult and I kind of hated it but knew I couldn’t go back.

It all worked out but a big wake up call.

Q and A

What are you most excited about for the future?

What a loaded question. Silly.

I imagine my future as legendary. Impossible would be fun. Being fearless 100ft in the air painting mountain sized paintings on buildings. Remaking old towns into new destinations. The future has wings and shoes to travel anywhere. I see it more as a what if rather then a will be.

Deep untethered remade worlds.

I see my self like Ms Birdy. Untamed and wild.

Or Osgemeos. They are a heartbeat of paint and emotion.

I love it but want it made in my way.

Q and a

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

Funny answer, I do this all the time. I’m very much a Dickies and a t shirt guy. So I’m basically do this by accident. They are just comfortable and easy to wear. I rip my jeans all the time so I can’t wear them outside with holes in the crotch. I do sometimes but it can be awkward on a ladder. It might look like a uniform in a way but I made it.

It works for being a mechanic and a painter.

She gets me.

Q and a

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

There is this dish called Roti. It’s a beautiful West Indian burrito like food. It’s filled with curry and if you like it has meat, fish or veggies. It it one of the great loves of my life. My Abuela used to make it for me. One of the fond memories of growing up. It’s very different but the concept is tangible.

The thought of it brings me joy.
