The Red Boy and His Infinite Cube

Night after night, the same events, glimpses and snippets of the ineffable, repeat; gradually clinging into my conscious mind. A username and a password come to mind. Something starting with C-H and then two surnames. The first one of those starts with a Z; that much I’m sure of. The second one begins with an E, I think. Two twin accounts can, or rather could, be accessed with those credentials. I feel like I’ve logged in a thousand times, but I can only remember a few of those. I’m never sure which is which, but using the first name and the surnames in the correct fields grants access. Do it backwards and end up backwards, I guess. When I type the credentials in the wrong places I wake up facing the wrong side. It’s so unnerving, and yet completely necessary. I always sleep on my left side; I’ve heard it’s good for your GI tract or something like that, and I just feel more comfortable that way. I’ve been sleeping that way for decades, which is why I’m so annoyed every night I wake up ...

A Day of Being All Over the Place

I hope August has been kind to you so far. For me, August tends to arrive with a particular kind of quiet at work. It is usually a slow month, so slow in fact that it feels a little like torture. When there is less to do, my mind begins to drift through time. I flit between memories, plans, and scenarios. That restless wandering is probably the main reason I am all over the place , although it is certainly not the only reason. My interests are as wide as my ambitions, so there is always a new idea tugging at my attention. I have to say, though, give me an unimportant task over nothing at all and I will take it gladly. While the sun is up After a quick self care routine, I sit at my desk and boot up my PC. I work as a language acquisition specialist, a copywriter and editor, and a feedback consultant. In practice, that means most of my day is spent helping people find better ways to do what they do. Lately, there's been a lot of "First of all, I won't review AI-generated co...

Why Is Pablo All Over the Place?

I promise you that was the one and only time I referred to myself in the third person. So why add yet another blog to the already staggering ocean of online content? In short, because I need to sort my thoughts out loud, to give shape to ideas that otherwise would drift away in the noise. I want a place where I can confront both promising seeds and useless mindfarts and turn them into something coherent. Some of these ideas are simply for my own benefit; a written record that they were mine to claim. Others are calls to action, invitations to anyone who has the means that I am missing to them up and materialize them. If I don’t commit these thoughts to text, they will vanish, like mist in the morning sun. If I do, they might help us take one more step, however little, in the direction of the world I want to live in. You need to know that, for personal reasons that I may or may not reveal in due time, I only started truly living quite recently, and since then I have been in a race with ...
