    Gerardo San Diego / June 9, 2018

    One of my colleagues had a saying, “Finish it first, and then tell everyone else about it.” It goes against everything that my ego wants me to do, but in the long run…

    Why YouTube?

    Gerardo San Diego / March 31, 2017

    A client just asked me if it’s possible to keep their company videos within their own website, running it off their own web servers, instead of posting it on YouTube. He didn’t want…

HURRICANE

The littered ground

has a million gouges

from long gone collateral

that, wayward

left its bruise and damage

blame the wind

blame the storm 

blame the rain

blame yourself

no

blame the hurricane 

always, yes.

TEXAS Hundreds of cars snake their way through TEXAS 

Hundreds of cars snake

their way through the food line

to get tonight's dinner in the trunk

yes, shame

but less shame if a mile

of others are also doing it

someone on TV calls it "hope"

that billionaire pundit 

with the cuff links

and the pressed lapel

whose daughter, Hope,

has a trust fund that could

feed everyone in

this damn line

for a year

more like fifty years

lotsa square meals

fair and square.

He'd just finished my chop and it's on the bottom right of the pic. The characters are the phonetic pronunciation for ger-ar-do in chinese.
