Hola amig(x)s,

My name is Vic. Welcome to my cyber space. Here's where I spill my brains, share weird music, computer programs and randomly accessed memories. Don't forget to visit the sitemap to begin your adventure, and here's a little bit more about me.

BORN AND RAISED IN THE DESERT

A mountain in a desert city.
Chihuahua, Chih. Mexico

I was born and raised in the state of Chihuahua, in the north of Mexico. It is desert region where water and plants are scarce. They say Xicuahua means "dry and sandy place". It's the birthplace of the burrito, and one of the areas of highest levels of violence and scorpions.

In the desert we're bred with a sense of scarcity that makes us loud, hardy, and intense. We go about the simple things like they are life or death.

I have fond memories of playing footy on the dusty streets with my neighbors, and vacant lots in flames and grafitti on the school walls, dusty sunsets and rojos with caguamas and rancheras in the evening.

MISLED YOUTH

I was a bit of a goblin (A small Shiba Inu dog, looking sad, smoking a cigarette and with a bottle of Corona beer resting in front of it) when young, Instead of praising Jesus, I was playing Zelda, smoking at school and watching MTV at night. My heroes were fiends like Jamie Thomas and Angus Young. I skipped school, hung out with the wrong gang, and was a generic pain in the a$$.

Some close calls led me to a better ways, but even tough I behave like an adult now, I think it's important to always keep a little of dumbfuckery alive to add a spice to life.

A taste for mischief and (mis)adventure helps one escape dogma and yields the courage to dive into the unknown...

My saying is Just Do Sh*t, which means don't stay there waiting for something to happen, you go and seek it, push it, smoke it. I may not be the smartest cat, but I'm easily bored and boredom breeds adventure.

I have had many jobs, I've been a sweeper, video store clerk, gardener, dishwasher, graphic designer, videographer, teacher, and an engineer. I've lived in the desert and near the hutongs and between the green mountains, near industrial wastelands and in the dystopic urban jungle.

TOKYO BOY

"What a strange thing! To be alive beneath ginkgo leaves."

I love Tokyo because it's mad in a fun way.

Swing through its streets like a jungle, eat at a new joint every time and never run out, break no laws and still feel like a villain.

A street with a cherry blossom tree and a convenience store in Tokyo.

Loiter by the conbini, watch blossoms bloom and booze by the river, find cyberpunk designs next to tenebrous shrines and between milk carton buildings, drink and smoke and eat sushi with the suits and friends standing up at night...

A "shotengai" or "street lined with small shops" at night, in Tokyo.

It's a meltdown, disturbed, loud, jammed, cold, hot but you can't say it's boring. I may get sick of it all someday... but I will always call it home.

THAT'S ALL, FOLKS!
