Semester 11 Chapter XXV: Pumping Them Brakes

Yo, what’s good, what’s bad, whose fault, who cares… Another week has passed and I’m back on my bullshit. Matterfact, I’ve been real deep on my shit this past week. After like a month of constant social activity, I dived deep into solitude and did some proper recharging. Since I felt like dipping into some H-town underground hip-hop, this blog’s soundtrack is the new Jay’ton and his album Houstonathon. Shit slaps.


Okay so last week. I did quite a lot of diving which was extremely enjoyable. On Tuesday we went to Alcala and shit was fucking awesome. Alcala is a lovely site but the visibility can be a bitch up there. We were in luck tho. One of the dives when you see clearly and you just enjoy shit. The next two days was first boat diving I had done with the center I dive for the most these days. They do have their own boat so I drove the squad to the port in Las Galletas and we took it from there. I was new at some of these sites but I totally nailed it. Great dives, great vibes… Looking forwards to some more open ocean days. On Saturday, I did a fun dive at Montana Amarilla with this Venezuelan dude. Since he was a decent diver and it was only the two of us, we took it real slow, spent almost an hour down there and exited the water smiling. Good stuff. And then we got today. I took all the interns and one more guy to Tabaiba to do the first half of wreck specialty course. And again… Shit went beautiful. I’m pretty sure I’ve said it before but I fucking love this shit. I love diving on the regular, I love the energy, it does feel like I have found the sweet spot for the time being.


Outside of diving, I retreated back into my zone tho. I watched the whole Euphoria TV series which is so fucking good, it sometimes took me a minute to digest it. Some real heavy shit right there. And it hits quite close to home too. I also finished a book I’d been reading for ages and checked the first episode of the Kayne documentary. The guy is a piece of shit (and his ongoing divorce only underscores that) but you got give it to him… He always knew he’s gonna be this big… Even when nobody really followed. Watching fucking execs ignoring him while that motherfucker plays All Falls Down right into their face is just crazy.


I got back into the world on Friday when I met with my diver friend for some wine in 33 Vueltas. On Saturday, I drove to San Eugenio to do a beer with another friend of mine. Nice hangouts. Outside of that it’s been really just workouts, music, walks by myself and figuring out my next tattoos. And teaching. Yeah, a lot of that. Good amount of busy. And I totally didn’t do any pictures. Shit happens, right? Gonna do some next week for sure. One!

  • Diving.
