Happy Birthday Alexander Gabriel. 👼
This morning I had my two-year-old almost convinced to call my boss and tell him “Papa isn’t going to work today, he’s taking a Marley day”. That was until I pulled out my phone. Oh well, I did try. Maybe next time.
I don’t remember how I came across with this album but I am glad I did, it’s great! Life Is Eazi, Vol. 2 - Lagos to London
Well, we just finished watching THE MEG. And We enjoyed it, I’m a sucker for shark movies so I can’t help myself (except for the shark-nado ones, those shouldn’t exist at all). Anyway, funny thing about it though, we started watching this movie “last year”. Guess that’s what happens when you got kids. 😅

It’s actually a sour IPA. This one it’s from the 2016 badge, very different from its current production.
One of my goals for 2019 it’s to limit my social media presence, in some way. I am yet to decide whether to close both my Facebook or instagram accounts. Or to keep them and just don’t be so engaging in them. This morning i woke up, a new day and a new year, also very exhausted. And had this idea of revise my instagram account and figure out what is it about it, besides the obvious (another Facebook platform), that I can maybe fix to make it enjoyable again. I started by bringing down my following count to half. So many accounts of people I don’t know or their work doesn’t not inspire me anymore. People that I followed just because they followed me. Celebrities accounts, even other photography enthusiasts. Tryin to bring back my instagram to a much simpler timeline and the reason I enjoyed using it in the first place. And even after all, it’s still a little aggravating scrolling and see more adds that pictures I’d love to see. I don’t know how at one point I was able to ignored them, perhaps because they were static images but now are full on videos, at least on my timeline. So it feels very intrusive and takes away from the joy of seeing others people’s legit content. I really don’t if I want to delete it. But at the same time it’s something I’m having a hard time with.

It’s a new year, 2019, let’s make the best of it.
I figured my first coffee of 2019 had to be special. This is all I could come up with.
Now watching The MEG
I have been thinking for a few days how I wanted to do this. My 2018 end-year-review thing. And I had a hard time, too many things happened this year plus I am at putting my thoughts together sometimes. Also I did a poor job at documenting things, in an organized matter, this year. Jumping in between systems and note taking places and my changes on how to journal. Anyway, this my year-end review
2018 started a little out of wack in my personal life.
Unemployed, that wasn’t fun. I had lost my previous job late in 2017, therefore I found myself at the beginning of 2018 without a one.
Some hard life events involving some personal relationships and depression. But thanks to friends and professional help — and medication — things are looking much better now. With the occasional struggle, of course.
Finally sometime in April I found my current job.
Baby Luna, definitely the biggest event of the year.
As far as my technology, there wasn’t much in 2018. 2017, though, was more eventful.
This is probably the most chaotic year. As I said before I changed and jumped around many systems which got me to be a little unorganized.
I have recently changed the way I journal thus the systems I use too.
Games that have been acquired in 2018. Some I have either just installed or just played a little bit because, attention span I guess.
I listen to way too much music to remember everything but these are the ones I listened the most (I think) and quite describes my music tastes.

Last check up of the year for Baby Luna. Today she weighted 7.12 , an ounce and a half per day since her last check up.

Alright, this tweet made me laugh a little.
I guess this is the homescreen setup that made it to the end of 2018. 📱

This is happening.
Such a sweet gesture! Today we received a post card with good wishes from all the nurses and the nice people that took care of baby Luna while she was in the NICU.

I’ve found these questions to be a great launching point for a long-form journal entry looking at the prior year and considering the next.
Great year-end questions to reflect on. My thanks to @ronguest for sharing these.
Okay, here’s the pitch: delete all social media apps from my phone! (Except for Twitter because I am and awful person). Basically the idea is delete Facebook and Instagram off my device. I want to see if I miss any interaction with these apps, if I can resist the temptation of checking them out. Again to see if I can leave without these two apps and depending on that I may just close these two accounts for good. At this point I have no clear expectations on how it’s going to turn out but it’s a start. Also I’m aware that this is probably not a true test since in the back of my head I know they still exist and can be accessed in someway at anytime. Ultimately I think I would like to get rid of them and replace social media with this personal blog.
We will see.
