Okay, yep...I have reeeeeeeally fallen off. I can admit that. It's been a hot minute since I've posted. My bad, y'all. I haven't even been all that busy...I just didn't feel like posting. I kept putting it off. Now...? It's been almost 2 months since I posted. Oooooops!!! 😲😲😲😲😲😲
September was the celebration of Latino Heritage Month. Didn't really do anything for it. I was planning on doing an eBook sale on Smashwords to celebrate it, but thought better of it. Nobody seems to be supporting any of my eBook sales, so why fucking bother...? Going into Labor Day weekend, I was able to attend a local event out here in Raleigh; the African American Cultural Festival of Raleigh & Wake County. I was lucky enough to get to attend it last year, at least for one day. Went down there, bought some items, then jetted back home. It was hot af out there, and I didn't like the vibe. Didn't really feel any level of Black solidarity from the people that attended. Plus, you saw a lot of white people out there. Not my type of scene. Just glad that I was able to get my hands on some shea butter, and body oils. I can't seem to find none of that shit out here. Bama ass town...
There was also a Latino festival out here called La Fiesta Del Pueblo, to kick off Latino Heritage Month. I was actually off for that weekend, but decided not to go. I don't have any of my paraphernalia out here, save for my blue Honduras soccer jersey. I usually like to wear my wristbands and hats to shit like that. It usually helps to lessen any stares or dirty looks that I get when I attend things like that, since moving out of NY. I could've worn a face mask that I'd painted of the Honduran flag, but naaaaah.
So, my birthday passed in October. I am now an official member of the 50+ club. I'm actually fucking FIFTY!!! 😲😲😲😲
Not to mention, my oldest nephew just turned 26. My ass is starting to feel really, really old now...
Didn't do anything for my birthday. Firstly, I had to work on the actual day. Secondly, I did have the weekend after it off, but still chose not to do anything. I did buy myself some books for my own reading pleasure. They were books on African martial arts. Hopefully, reading them will inspire me to finally finish some of my unfinished manuscripts. I haven't published in a little over 2 years. Considering how poorly my sales have been, my motivation factor is pretty nonexistent.
The year is flying by. Hopefully, I'll be a little more consistent with my blog posts. Hoping to end the year on a strong note.
Uhuru sasa, y paz!! Keep the fist raised!!!
