Mindefusement Review

Leave a Comment / Reviews / By Ronald Huereca

Mindefusement was published in March of 2019. To be honest, it hasn’t been well-received (meaning lack of sales and reviews). I decided recently to re-read the book as a reader to see if it has any merit. I admit, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Here’s my review below (warning: spoilers ahead).

Introducing the Characters

The first half of the book is introducing the characters, going headfirst into torture templates (the ideas that clients want to bring to life), and a history of the company.

How My Friend Came Back From Death

Leave a Comment / Life / By Ronald Huereca

“You’re so stupid!” I said in almost a yell. My friend Pauli couldn’t operate the Roku remote. I was frustrated. She had been short and crabby with me all night. Little did I know the bed she was sleeping on was almost her death bed.

Let’s go back in time for a second. The year was 2011 and I moved to Oklahoma City.

Anxiety Sucks

2 Comments / Life / By Ronald Huereca

I’ve been struggling with anxiety for decades. It’s painful. It affects my mood. It’s probably one of the main factors that ended my first marriage in hindsight. It’s very likely it’s what caused me to drink heavily, resulting in horrible liver factors and possibly the cause of my diabetes.

What is Anxiety For Me?

For me, anxiety has me on edge 24/7.

Should Karaoke be a Judgment Free Zone?

Leave a Comment / Rants / By Ronald Huereca

I have written about Karaoke a lot on this site. I have opinions. You have opinions. So be it. The posts are just from my own personal experiences with Karaoke.

Here’s what may be an unpopular opinion: Karaoke should be a judgment-free zone. Hear me out.

When someone is brand new to Karaoke, they’re putting themselves on the line. It’s scary!

Going Off Xanax – My Experience

4 Comments / Life / By Ronald Huereca

Going off of Xanax has been a life-changing experience. My psychiatrist prescribed it for anxiety, and I mostly used it at nighttime to help me sleep. I wasn’t abusing it per se, but I took it nightly. I was on the 2MG tablets, which is the highest dose.

Why Were You Taken Off Xanax?

For starters, let’s get into why I was taken off Xanax in the first place.

Life as a Diabetic

2 Comments / Rants / By Ronald Huereca

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 2 years ago. It runs in my family, and I was an alcoholic, so that may have had a lot to do with it.

I have since quit drinking, which helped my liver recover, but my blood sugar A1C was hovering around 15%, which is incredibly bad. I would go on sugar binges, sneak snacks into my friend’s house, and go for snacks after I would leave my friend’s house.

Everybody wants to be a rockstar, correct? Well, karaoke is a good outlet. Here are ten ways you can be a rockstar at karaoke.

You Know Your Song Inside and out

Let’s face it. Karaoke is hard. But you’ve researched your song, listened to a karaoke version on YouTube, or perhaps you’ve tried it on Smule.

You’ve got the lyric timing, and highs, the lows, and maybe practice your fake guitar skills during guitar solos.

In my previous post, I highlighted the ten ways a KJ is a douche at karaoke.

I was asked to follow-up with ways a patron could be a douche and the response was overwhelming.

It’s definitely possible to be a douche at karaoke towards the KJ, whether it’s mic grabbing or being disrespectful to the singers. Here are 17 signs you’re a douche at karaoke.
