Marijuana

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. Its main active compounds, cannabinoids like THC and CBD, interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, affecting mood, cognition, and physical sensations. Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including smoking, vaping, or ingesting edibles. It's known for its recreational and medicinal uses, with effects ranging from relaxation and euphoria to pain relief and appetite stimulation. However, its legality and social acceptance vary widely across different regions and cultures. As of April 2024, recreational marijuana has been legalized in a significant number of states and territories in the United States. These include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D.C.

PESTILENT (done)

  There is no doubt that these creatures have met their demise, lacking any sense of feeling, including fear, just the virus with the sole purpose of horrifying the living; the only actual death lies in what has taken over their bodies—demonic entities with no heavenly paradise awaiting them, as warned by Father Fernando.   That was just a segment from the final chapter of PESTILENT, titled 'The Freeway.' Originally, the book consisted of 28 chapters, but I later revised it down to 27. However, Chapter 27 became overly lengthy. Then, inspiration struck. It seemed only logical, right? So, I made the decision to split the chapter, ultimately reverting back to 28 chapters. Surprisingly, the outcome of this division took me by surprise. It's like playing Tetris, where you must swiftly decide where to place each piece. Thus far, I'm content with where this particular piece has landed—something along those lines. I started writing PESTILENT last year, which was 2023, in Septe

50th Birthday Resolution.

  I just turned 50 this year under the Aquarius Astrological sign and a Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac. My beautiful family is celebrating my 50th birthday, and there's no denying it; besides my laid-back job for the dollar and laid-back hobbies, I need to get in shape. Not only to look better in my suit but also for my health issues. I had already survived a stroke in 2016, and I thank God I made it to 50 with a slight limp in my walk. I'll write more about my health plan later. For now, let's focus on what I've been planning this year and beyond regarding the projects I am trying to prioritize. I am testing my Canon Rebel T2i with a Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle lens. I've been into Photography since my late teens, although it's been an on-and-off hobby. I've taken a few decent pictures that still inspire me to continue today. Unfortunately, due to my other passions in music and storytelling, photography has remained a last hobby for me. I used to have a photog
