My petty pleasures of 2026

As we totter by .. into the first month of 2026 .. its good to reflect on another lap around the sun .. another year passes as we get older, none the wiser. Firstly, God help us. May he occasionally remember we exist and toss a few crumbs of mercy my way .. and yours too. As I look up to the stars, it amuses me and I can't help but whisper, "I'm just looking for small favours, sly favours, Show me that you have a great sense of humor". Most of us have heard multiple wellbeing

Tooth, Truth & Pain

I write this with the spiritual fortitude of a monk and the facial expression of someone being poked in the face with a hot screwdriver. I'm not throwing dramatic explosions .. there's no orchestra to mark tragedy. Just this slow burn. A smouldering, gnawing sort of suffering that sits somewhere between the back molar and my soul. And yesterday, was one of those days. My blessed tooth performing a one-man opera. Screeching, aching, protesting its very existence, while I cont

Whodunnit?

I saw a film the other day. A lovely piece of work. Emotive, poetic, made you want to hug your mother, call your therapist, and buy that wretched product .. all at once. But I wasn’t watching the film as much as I was reading the credits. But man .. the credits! What a scroll of honour! Or perhaps dishonour, depending on which side of the meeting room you sit. They rolled on like the Chinese dynasty, one grand title after another. The Supreme Creative Lord. The Emperor of Ima

WHO AM I

WhatsApp Image 2025-07-11 at 06.03_edited.jpg

Hello there, and before you get too comfortable, let me offer a fair warning wrapped in a warm welcome.

This blog of mine isn’t some sacred scroll that’ll lead you to moksha or help you unlock divine secrets of the universe. If you're looking for a guru with glowing skin and God on speed dial, you’ve knocked on the wrong digital door, my friend.

I’m Joey Mateuz.

I claim to be no prophet. What I offer is honesty.. brutally honest musings from a man who’s had a few run-ins with life, collected a few scars.. and still found a way to smile like a man who knows the joke but isn’t telling yet.

The stuff you’ll find here are the unfiltered, unedited, and often unintentionally comical ramblings from what I like to call: Confessions of a Working Man - a manuscript still being written, preferably with a cup of coffee in one hand and mild agnst in the other.

So.. if you’re still curious, slightly mad, or just procrastinating on something important, subscribe. But be warned, these words come at your own risk. Side effects may include laughter, introspection, and the occasional “What the hell did I just read?”

Welcome aboard. Fasten your seatbelt. This blog may cause mild turbulence.. and hopefully, a few moments of clarity.

#hotwheels #optimusprimecollection #optimusprime #hotwheelscollector #

As a kid, I used gawk at my friends who were blessed with parents fortunate enough to buy their kids special hotwheels and other collectibles.

You don't see it, but I'm grinning wide like an idiot. Especially when our collection has these new additions ..original 1969 Mattel Iro Gifords Twin mill replica, original '93 hot wheels Datsun collection and '03 Takara Tomy assembled transformer Nissan GTR in its original package.

@mancaveindia Waiting for the unboxing of your vintage OG redline collections. 😍

Notice, There’s always a chorus of voices:
"Walk this path."
"Buy this, not that."
"Live like a sensible soul."

But you and I were never built for cookie-cutters and assembly lines.

Even in the middle of the night, when most are locked in cages of their own making.

Into the night, into the stars ...motorbike, car, cycle or skates. Whatever is your mode of movement .. use it ..let it hurl you into that freedom of riding at your own terms. Let them presume you are stark mad.. remember, its our medicine to stay sane while the rest of the world busily loses its marbles.

In Short:
Help only those who come to you asking for help. Else it almost always backfires! #keralawisdom #oldsayings #dailywisdom

Friday Rains brings you the vibes.
