The thing about Pete Davidson is his new Netflix special, Alive from New York, made me wish the streamer’s rating system would include an “It’s OK” button. Like, I thought that the special was fine, but also that it found its legs only toward the end, when the SNL-er’s stories got more deeply personal and […]

I am cultural writer from Lima, Peru. Now publishing from San Francisco. #KingofCups
Y2K didn't happen, but I did move to Florida in the year 2000. Miami was kind of the vibe for me during the '90s, so into the new millennium and the Magic City I went, for college and to find whatever life now could and would be. I graduated from Florida International University, then went to work in its in-house communications/marketing department, as a writer, video producer, and associate editor of "FIU Magazine," the university's flagship alumni publication.
By the time I got to work at FIU I'd already been working with and writing for the weekly "Wire Magazine" on the beach and the periodical "Miami Living" magazine, writing my Movie Martin blog, contributing to the occasional "Awful Truth" by Ted Casablanca once upon a time on E! Online. Later, I started stringing story for "Us Weekly." That was fun. It was all kinds of a heckuva lot of fun.
King of Cups is my new empirical, memoiristic non-linear independent writing exercise. (Independent: Rhymes with unpaid, as in this is free, so represent and support, OK. Amplify the shit.) I mince no words, I mean no harm, and I come in peace.

A Playlist ❌ King of Cups. Made in San Francisco for a night in San Francisco, ca. Halloween/11.1.19. Madame X was in town. I hear this and I see a musical. Click on it. I double-dare ya. 🎧⬇️
Alternative Acts
How about instead of allowing this condition to fester (this situation in which people in need have to steal from others to try and sell the loot out in the open and often in plain view of driving-by SFPD and passersby that include our elected and appointed city leadership), how ’bout we get it together […]
Campaña Escolar
Y ahora que el verano se acabó, se acordarán los amigos y las amigas del colegio que ahora tienen hijitos e hijitas, de los 15 años durante los cuales me mariconeaban a diario? O de cómo se jileaban a las chicas, o comentaban sobre su apariencia, o de cómo las puteaban? De cómo armaban las […]
Ouvre une Fenêtre
Je me trompe et je me trompe plutôt souvent. D’ailleurs je suis éloigné ma famille il y a déjà longtemps et comme un animal avec la capacité de comprendre, je comprends que c’est comme ça: nous quittons le nid. Mais comme un animal de cité, je comprends aussi que mes sentiments et mes souvenirs et […]
Postcard from Paris
From Paris, with love! My sister and niece were in Paris last week. They went to the Espace Lafayette-Drouot to get into and enjoy the “The World of Banksy: The Immersive Experience” that was recently extended until the end of June. My sister said it was pretty “génial.” Get. I’ll wait. Not that long. The […]

Everybody Comes to…
Y’ know: They wanna make it in the neighborhood. Coming soon to Netflix, just in time for summer, is Hollywood, the new “Ryan Murphy” show (his longtime collaborators, Ian Brennan and Alexis Martin Woodall, are also involved, as is Janet Mock from FX’s Pose). Described as a love letter to a day gone by, Hollywood […]
The DC Playlist
Opening date for No Time to Die, Daniel Craig’s Cary Joji Fukunaga-helmed swan song as James Bond, may be April 10, people, but today…tonight…right now you can listen to the latest entry in the Bond-theme song canon, an eponymously titled track by the Grammy darling of 2020, Billie Eilish, that serves the 007 mood of […]
The Thing About Maluma, Baby
The thing about Maluma is he made it OK to be a pretty boy. When I was kid, this tall freckled ginger monster one or two years older than me in school – who went on to become a teen mom (I’m pretty sure my memory serves…or rumor had it, at the very least) and […]
