....signing off✌

I know, it's been a minute since I posted on this. While I could make up a ton of excuses like life, work, relationships, drama, the inevitable and endless trips to the bathroom, the countless hours spent watching everything that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has to offer, and so on, I'm sure we both know that's crap. 

Truth be told, I've been off. Not off my game, but just off-focus. In hindsight, I've come to realize that after 9 years, on and off, of posting my mad ramblings and personal insights, it's time to end this. 

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a cry for help or some need for attention (though I always appreciate whatever I can get haha). When this whole thing started, it began as part of a journey towards self-discovery. It was a journey that I hadn't really taken seriously until I was years into it. This blog has taught me a lot about myself (don't worry, I won't bore you with the revelations that I've gained from this experience) and how far I've come. 

In retrospect, me not finding the motivation (yes, MOTIVATION) to keep posting had been something that I've been struggling with for over a year. Plus, a global pandemic doesn't really help. And no, I will not launch into some tirade on vaccines and mask mandates and hand sanitizer, and what have you, simply because, again, I don't have the motivation. 

But, what I've realized is that I'm not the same guy that started this thing all those years ago. Granted, I'm older and wiser, but it's more than that. I've grown, and with that growth, my outlook on life has changed. 
(Again, this isn't a cry for help, so whoever is feeling the need to call me just to check if I'm still breathing,  yes, I still am, so please don't).

While "Man, Under Destruction" was fun, it has served its purpose. It's brought me to the next chapter. I feel fortunate to have found my own little corner of the web to share my thoughts and the loyal few that actually want to read them. 

As for what I'll be doing...I'll be writing. But, with this new outlook, I'll need a new voice. 

I'll find it. Until then, stay tuned. 

So, thanks for the memories. Thanks for letting me share. Thanks for reading. 

As of now, I am no longer "under destruction".

Reflections after 3 decades

 I have a bit of a confession to make. Certain icons of pop culture, such as in music and film, I've stumbled upon by accident. Had it not been for these accidents, I probably would never have known of the greats of music and film that I've come to know, love and respect. Case in point, Jimi Hendrix. Most people learn of this pioneer through his countless records and apperances, but I personally learned of him through an episode of Dinosaurs (which was a T.V. show from the '90s about domesticated suburban dinosaurs) or Redman, who I discovered by playing one of my favorite videogames "Def Jam; Fight for New York" (which lists as one of my all-time favorite games....yes, I'm a gamer...feel free to judge). The specifics I will not mention for the purpose of maintaining some dignity and "cool"-ness, but I will simply stick to the aforementioned confession that I did not learn of these people through conventional channels.  I share one common trait with

 I have the utmost respect for Wile E. Coyote. Sure, he's a bumbling, accident prone, over-ambitious, theoretically-careless mammal, but you gotta admit, he's got spunk. Although, after having seen my umpteenth roadrunner cartoon, "rooting for the underdog" suddenly loses its appeal. But, even this poor, pathetic fool has bits to teach. No, not that explosives are dangerous, nor that he shouldn't keep buying them from the same manufactures, considering that their products "redefine" the term "faulty and dangerous". No, he teaches that despite the risk, one must always be willing to take chances, through which their persistence can and shall be rewarded. It was an epiphany I had. Epiphanies are interesting. Not just the fact that you have them, but that you can have them anywhere. I had mine very recently, while dangling by my ankles, like a fish on a hook, 275 feet above a raging river ( no, I don't owe anybody money nor was this a cruel an
