Well… here we are. Somewhere between one misclick, one server hiccup, or the universe having a cheap laugh at my expense, the entire archive of my previous blog vanished. Years of posts, ranting, thinking, arguing, musing, poking at the world, and all those wonderfully chaotic comment threads — gone like they were never here. If…

The United States loves to claim its immigration system is principled, orderly, and fair. It isn’t. The reality is far more clinical and far less comforting: millions of people do the hardest, dirtiest, and most essential work in this country while being legally excluded, politically weaponized, and economically exploited.

Life teaches in the small things — the irritating moments, the quiet observations, the mistakes nobody else sees, and the tragedies you never asked for. That’s where the real curriculum sits. I’ve been through enough to know that…

Music has always been the one constant that never betrayed me, never talked back, never slammed a door in my face, and never told me I was imagining things. I’ve lived long enough, and through enough chaos, to know that when everything else falls apart, a melody can still hold you together. For the record,…

Reflections on the Universe: Cosmic Thoughts There are days when the universe feels too big, and other days when it feels uncomfortably close. You look up — or imagine the “up” that people talk about — and you start wondering whether any of this makes sense, or whether we’re all just improvising our way through…
