Buenos Nachos!


My Afro-Cuban groove does have some elements of African drums, but I was mainly thinking of Mexican music. I wanted it to sound like a Mexican restaurant, a little like Mariachis strumming their guitars and blasting their trumpets in the streets while people eat nachos.

How I Think Our World Has Become Like "Fahrenheit 451"

                                                                                                                Adonyi Gabor from Pexels  I'm going to be honest, reading is not my favorite. It has to be a topic that really grabs me for me to get into the book. But with the current times I stumbled upon a book that my sister had read as a kid and enjoyed, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. She loved that book so much, she even did a book re...

The 2000s Mall

 Our world has gotten more and more depersonalized by the minute. Adults throwing temper tantrums, not being able to log into a computer without it tracking your account to a certain device, and robots making decisions for us have become the norm. And this is the world that I graduated into to work in. Particularly in the last four years, I have seen people behave in ways that they should be ashamed of.

 Facebook in the 2000s was fun. It was much better than the politics, serious-matter-laden social media platform of today. Back then, it was all about posting random things to make people laugh, listen to music, and play games. There was no pressure to post major accomplishments in your life to compare yourself to, just mindless entertainment. Here are a few of the things I remember seeing when I first got a Facebook in middle school:  Pieces of Flair-online "buttons" with pictures of your interests, such as cats, clarinets, or mountains, sometimes with funny sayings on them.  Classic Memes, Goth and Emo Memes. The pictures were not perfect. Once, a schoolmate posted a video of herself and a friend at home, in their pajamas, (with messy ponytails and no makeup ) making pancakes and tossing them across the kitchen from pan to plate. "The Ultimate Flapjack!" the girl said as she laughed.  Another friend in early high school (early 2010 by this point) posted pictures o...
