Sobremesa 🇪🇸
Pronounced: so-bre-MEH-sa

Meaning: “Time spent at the table after eating”

The lingering moments after a meal, when the food is finished but conversation flows freely. It reflects the warmth of connection and the unhurried joy of simply being together.

#WordsWithBorders

Four Spanish friends sit around a rustic wooden dining table, smiling and laughing together after a meal. Empty plates, a bottle of red wine, and glasses partially filled with wine remain on the table. The warm, golden light and simple decor create a cozy, intimate atmosphere that reflects the cultural tradition of sobremesa, lingering in conversation after eating.

I’m still working on the video, so this is the YT autoload. 🙏 TYSM. Please forgive any imperfections. I cherish them. I’ve always approached music like painting, where the valleys in each brushstroke make the peaks catch the light. #OriginalMusic

Such an unexpected summer, blue skies seem so much brighter after turbulent waters. I finally had an opportunity to work on a new track, it will be out soon. May your day be what you seek and may all be happy and healthy.

And now the driver. She was such an amazing and wonderful person. Two lights extinguished, two beautiful lights. Please 🙏 choose patience when the potential of others lives depend on your actions.

There are very exceptional, kind, nice, talented, forever helping people on this earth. We were lucky enough to have one in my extended family. I am deeply hurt, my soul hurts today to hear of their tragic departure due to another’s impatience. Folks, PLEASE 🙏 do not run red lights. 😢

I didn’t have a YouTube account years ago so I asked a friend if I could upload a video of mine. I have no way to access the account now but here I remain.

Uitwaaien 🇳🇱
Pronounced: OUT-vah-en

Meaning: “To walk in the wind”

The act of going out into the wind, often along a beach, a field, or a breezy urban street; not just for exercise or scenery, but to clear one’s mind.

#WordsWithBorders

A solitary figure in a hooded jacket walks along a windswept beach under a cloudy sky. Waves crash in the background, and the sand is dark and damp with visible footprints trailing behind. The mood is introspective and quiet, evoking a sense of peaceful solitude.

In case there are UA musicians that aren't aware of UA's Apollo + Satellite real-time operation capabilities, I put a video together to show the 2 ms latency I typically run at. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8Ue...

A gorgeous blue sky, riddled with stacks and wisps of clouds.

Thought I'd share this Feed 🎧📡 It feels like tuning into a secret frequency. I do enjoy shared posts, but they tend to dominate the feed, so I was genuinely delighted to find a way to see only original posts from the people I follow.

Maybe it is not a technical issue. In real life, use is not consent. But platforms act like it is. That shapes what gets built and what does not.

“Samar” (سمر) (Arabic) 🇸🇦🇪🇬🇱🇧
Pronunciation: sah-MAR

The act of staying up late, deep in conversation with friends or loved ones, sharing stories, laughter, and dreams under the stars.

#WordsWithBorders

A cozy nighttime scene of a small group of friends gathered around a softly lit outdoor table, engaged in deep conversation under a vast, starry sky. Warm lantern light casts a golden glow on their faces, highlighting expressions of laughter, thoughtfulness, and connection. The silhouettes of distant trees frame the peaceful setting, evoking the Arabic concept of Samar—the magic of late-night storytelling and shared moments.
