Things Marley say (to grandma edition)
“I need me time like mama when she takes a bath so keep Luna (her 1yo sis) far away.”
As she walked away to the room, with the iPad.
I kinda like these “features photo” widget on iOS 14. And here’s is that photo. Probably from last year’s Father’s Day car show event.
Across the United States, more than 36,000 new infections were reported by state health departments on Wednesday — surpassing the previous single-day record of 34,203 set on April 25. Texas, Florida and California led the way, with all three states reporting more than 5,000 new cases apiece.
Doing great guys! 😒
I have started to play: Sekiro Shadows Die Twice — again. I first got this game when it first came out, I even pre-ordered it. Dropped the game not too long after. The game it’s a little difficult. It kinda reminds me of NIOH, another game that I love everything about it but suck at the gameplay. These games require patience and strategy, something I sorely lack of. I’m more of a guns blazing, hack and slash type of guy. Me against a thousand solders, overpowered weapons and magic! 😅
Either way, I want to give it another go and see. So far I have just played the first 10-15 min of it and died at least 5 times already.
That’s a hell of a start!
Potato chips, the devil’s fried vegetable! Once you eat one, your soul is doomed.
I am wondering if anybody has figured out a way to make the Hello’s theme to change the color scheme based on the system’s settings instead of just manually.
Olympus Is Selling Its Camera Business to Japan Industrial Partners - Technology News
Olympus has announced that it is selling its camera division to Japan Industrial Partners (JIP). This is the same company that acquired Sony’s Vaio computer division, and it is now looking to absorb popular Olympus brands like Zuiko and OM-D.
Oh wow, this is kind of a big deal. What does this means to me, I am not sure. I currently own an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III and a few prime lenses. I do enjoy the camera and always had a desire for other products in the Olympus line. Of course I have picked at other camera manufacturers but the ones that attracts me the most are far over my budget (looking at you Leica).
At the end of the day this probably won’t change anything for me but we shall see.

In honor of Jaws' 45th birthday here’s an image from the Alex Kintner attack sequence that was cut from the film.
Something I’ve noticed recently it’s a slight change in when I am “writing”. Let me explain, usually, every time I am writing or composing a blog post I hear my own voice in my head as I am typing. Lately I hear someone else’s, and the pace and rhythm , for lack of a better word, it’s also different. As if Ray Porter, was in my head! I guess this is what happens when you spend too many hours listening to audiobooks narrated by him. 😅
I need to hide all the Twitter apps I have, not opening them unless I am mentioned. As much as I try to avoid political stuff, it’s hard to escape them there. I get angry and frustrated and thus, depressed. I may see a thing or two here in the Micro.blogs but it is not as “in my face” like in the Twitterverse.

Back in the day, I want to say mid 90’s, there used to be this reggaeton (Puerto Rican rap thing) duo called Las Güanabanas Podridas (The Rotten Soursops). They had a famous song that would go something like,
Y pal carajo la mente sana, yo lo que quiero es marigüana
Meaning, “screw healthy/sane mind, I just want marijuana”. Mostly making fun of the propaganda that we had a the time against drugs. Healthy body, healthy mind kind of thing.
Well, turns out, these days, if you want to maintain your sanity and mental health in check. Some may argue that a little bit of marijuana goes a long way 😅, plus it’s legal in several states.
That being said, I do not smoke/consume marijuana or anything of the sorts. I just happened to be listening to the song a minute ago and made me think. 😁
🙌🏼🎵 Drive (Orchestral Studio Version) by Incubus
Never have I ever, listened to this version of the song before. 😁
Day two post leg workout. Walking hurts, sitting hurts, any movement hurts. Yet, no reason to stop. No le bajamos!
Just realized, my late 2017 MacBook Pro’s Apple Care Plus has expired. If my keyboard ever breaks and I cannot fix it myself well… I’ll have a new paper weight.
Watching Frozen II by the 1,500th time. How’s your evening?

On my road to getting back into staying active and exercising more regularly, there are hard days like today. Yesterday was leg day and I haven’t worked out as I did in a long while. It was a decent kettlebell leg sesh. The usual workout goes like this:
5x
10 min EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute)
I modified the second part of the sesh. I quickly realized that I currently don’t have the “stamina” of doing this on EMOM. I noticed I was been too slow and only had about 12 seconds of rest in between rounds. So instead I would complete the 8 lounges and the 8 double-handed swings and rest 30-45 seconds in between rounds, sometime seven 60 seconds for good quality rounds.
Today, well, I am sore, very very sore! Also, I feel exhausted, usually, leg days do kick my butt and I need a good night rest which I didn’t have last night. My fault though, I stayed up too late playing Halo. I had finished Halo 4 and quickly moved on to Halo 5. SO today I am having a hard time focusing a little bit due to the lack of rest.
After reading the James Reece series (not sure that’s how it’s called but that’s how Goodreads called it, I think), well the three books that are out so far:
I went back and listen to episode #1467 - Jack Carr — of The Joe Rogan Experience and it was kind of cool to listen to the author of these books talking after having read his books (by read I mean listened 😉)
I can’t wait for the fourth book.
