11 November - 17 November 2024 I reached 6,000 followers on Instagram, thanks to Instagram Reels being posted every Monday and Firday. Not wildly important, but APEC was being hosted in Lima this week. I managed to sneak through the police blockades and be in the 'secured' area. They closed off entire city blocks and streets, and so I found myself behind police lines of hundreds of riot shields, casually eating ice cream from Burger King as I look around for Xi Jinping and Joe Biden. There was a situation at a hotel resort I was staying in at the start of the week. So I negotiated with the staff to see what I can get. The first guy passed me to a second guy. The second guy passed me to the final boss. I was asked what I wanted. I started high, with a voucher to stay for 5 nights at the exclusive resort. I knew it was going to be a big stretch, but worth a shot. They would not accept, but offered complimentary massages. They wouldn't budge after that, but I took it. It wasn't about the massages, or a free stay for 5 nights. It was about practice. I conducted the negotiation using Google Translate, passing the phone with every demand/offer/counter-offer. My wife managed to pull off a reservation at an exclusive restaurant which is notoriously hard to book. They have the best chefs in Northern Peru.

4 November - 10 November 2024 I made an appearance on JustPearlyThings with Michael Lee. I was only there to support Michael Lee's first appearance, but should be able to generate some nice clips. My sister-in-law got me an exclusive tour of the Palacio De La Municipalidad of Lima. I was able to go behind the police blockades and be escorted into the building like I was the FBI or some shit. I got to see the Mayor's office and various other rooms, as well as access the national library... The most awesome part is that I also got to go on the balcony of the Plaza De Armas (Main square) and look down on the peasants below who couldn't even come anywhere near the building. I went to the barber, and the barber asked if he could film and take photos for the business. Gave me some kind of VIP treatment (This wasn't my first time at this place, so I knew the difference), and as part of a value exchange I asked to receive the files for my own use too, should I feel the need to use them in whatever way. Immediately after the haircut, I had my wedding photoshoot. It then turned out that this day would bring me two photoshoots, rather than just one. We hired several photographers and videographers, including a drone guy, and a limo to drive us around. While we paid money for this, it's still worth mentioning because it's relevant to the previous paragraph. The next day, me and my wife had our second wedding. If you're wondering why the fuck we have a second wedding, it's because in Peru there are two wedding ceremonies; legal and religious. As an atheist, I didn't give a shit about the religious one. And as a gringo, I didn't know how the rest of it worked anyway. Either way, on our 5th anniversary of marriage, we had the religious ceremony, because my wife is a Catholic. Nothing exciting, but we immediately went to the airport and flew North, close to the equator, and close to Ecuador.

What up guys! I have been pondering about this. Should you unfollow women that don’t interact with you on Instagram but they still follow you?

Why do you guys think it’s important not to have nicknames as usernames on Instagram?
