It's finally getting warmer so I rode my skateboard down to the HafenCity neighborhood. Skateboarding at night is my new favorite activity. 🛹

Repost because the one I posted last night was too dark.

New username, who dis?

Finally got rid of my old username. Now I just need to figure out how to change my blog's URL without losing my google ranking but after that Between Distances will officially be history (haha).

Stay healthy, friends!

Today is Día de Muertos. The holiday, which is basically the Mexican way to celebrate All Saints' Day, mixes Catholic and pre-Hispanic elements.
Given the current state of the world, today is a good day to think of all those people who have died senselessly due to the negligence of governments or even individual politicians and remember how lucky we are to still be around.

I found these two skulls by a grave in the municipal cemetery of Orizaba, in the Mexican state of Veracruz, while strolling around there on a foggy morning in March of last year.

So I don't know if anyone noticed but my website was offline for about a week. Basically I gave up on the blog for a number of reasons and let my subscription expire. That mostly had to do with the fact that my blog hit a plateau and stopped growing. Those of you who have blogs know just how much work goes into every article: writing, editing pics, optimizing the text for SEO, etc... So it can be pretty frustrating to reach only a small part of your readership after putting in the time. Oh, and it obviously costs money too so that sucks.
Things were already discouraging, but then the pandemic hit and my traffic took a nose dive, so that kinda killed my motivation. I wasn't even able to travel anyway so I guess that didn't matter.
So when it was time to fork out 200 euros to keep the site running for another year I was like “Fuck it, I'm just going to let it die and build something new.” I wanted to buy a banjo with that money, too. Plus, lately I've been dedicating my free time to other interests such as boxing, playing guitar and skateboarding. So I let the subscription expired. But today, a day before my content would be deleted forever, I decided to just renew it and rebuild it from the ground up, starting with the name.
Why? Because even though I kind of abandoned my blog, I love writing. Plus, the blog has given me lots of satisfactions—especially meeting and befriending fellow bloggers in real life. So yeah, Between Distances officially died and was taken offline for about a week but today I brought it back from the dead. And you know what the funny thing is? After I renewed it I didn't think about the money at all; I was just so happy that I rescued it that I went on the website and read my two latest articles like I had just discovered an old diary. If you're a frequent reader thanks so much for your interest and support!
And you know what? I'm buying the banjo anyway, fuck it. Not like I'm going to be traveling anytime soon anyway, right?

As you may or may not know, I used to live in Port

As you may or may not know, I used to live in Portland and have countless fond memories of Stumptown and the Pacific Northwest, so needless to say that getting my mail-in ballot from Multnonah County the other day and then seeing this while out and about today in Leipzig-Connewitz made me a bit nostalgic.
