📓 Sunday, October 5, 2025 – 3:34 p.m.

Half-asleep from watching UFC fights with my brother last night.

Did some sales today and ate birria.

Now I’m parked on Denker Avenue in South Central, taking a break after that heavy meal.

I usually carry my laptop and iPad in my backpack — just in case I find a pocket of time to work.

The breeze cuts through, cool and restless, making the leaves sound like they’re screaming.

My eyes feel warm and tired.

I took a quick nap under that same cool, screaming wind.

My laptop rests on a metal basket that serves as my center console between the driver’s and passenger’s seats.

Inside it sits my Phomemo portable thermal printer — inkless, efficient, practical. Just how I like it.

Sometimes, it’s good to rest beneath screaming leaves.
