What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
My favorite hobby has always been watching and collecting movies.
It started in childhood, when asthma kept me home for months at a time.
While other kids played outside, I lived through screens — mostly Disney and action movies, the kind my dad loved.
Movies became my time machine.
When I was nine, I watched the Rocky films with my grandmother, who’s gone now. She was one of my favorite humans.
So every time I hear the theme, or see those training scenes, I feel her presence — that quiet strength, that old warmth.
To me, movies aren’t just entertainment.
They’re memories with light and sound.
A way to visit the people I miss, and the kid I used to be.

I write from the garage—ghosts, streets, and quiet revolutions.
