It’s hard to write when there isn’t much to write about.
It’s not Monday. It’s Tuesday already. And I got nothing. I don’t have a tour this weekend (as of now). I have to create my own jobs.
Ensenada Adventure: creating content for that soon.
I have a lot of work. But it’s all tedious work. And it’s unpaid. It’s more like an investment in my own business.
Take pictures of my merch. Post. Try to sell shit again.
Let’s see how that goes.
Volaris had crazy discounts again. Flights to select places in Mexico for a dollar (plus airport fees). I found a flight to Oaxaca roundtrip for less than $70. I almost bought it…
But then I went to Muricuh for some grocery shopping and cat necessities, and though I still have money to go to Oaxaca… I shouldn’t.
I need to invest in my business and brand. I should go to Ensenada.
If I went to Oaxaca, it was all about content creation. It wasn’t going to be a vacation. It was going to be work.
But that’s not needed right now. Right now I need Ensenada.
And I have a SHIT TON of material of Ensenada already. I’ve written about it. I’ve photographed it a bunch. I love Ensenada. This is the cover story I wrote in 2022. This post needs a picture. Let’s use that.
I have enough to start the brand. I will have video content to make it go viral. Maybe.

I said I was going to review the Osmo Action Pro 5 by DJI soon. This is the blog post to do it.
Four stars.
It’s an excellent small thingy that has amazing video quality. As a photo camera is barely usable. I took good long exposure pictures because I’m a good photographer. But it’s not good at low light. It’s not good at regular light (for photo). And the raw files are not truly available (or at least I can’t find them). It does not have the quality of other cameras or even some phones…
But video.
OOOOeee.
Video is fun. I can run with that fucker and it’s stable as fuck. I’m a sucker for stupid wide angle and it delivers. Most if not all my videos going forward are going to be filmed with this little thingy. When I update phones, it will get less usage. But for now, this little thingy is going to be my main recording device for content creating. I still need some of the accessories, more than anything the mic. So far, it’s great.
It won’t last long though. Cameras and gear evolves fast. I doubt that I will still use it by 2027.
I also need to update my iMac. I’m buying a SSD to try to make it better. Then perhaps I’ll be using hackintosh guide to update it to Big Sur.
Or…
Buy a new mac.
Those are my options.
Money is flowing.
I need to make more money.
Keep working Matingas. Keep fucking working.
Or keep playing DotA.
I have 8 more days of DotA before Steam stops working for Mac OS 10.5.
That’s what I have. And I need to hack it to update it. Without an SSD, I doubt it will run Big Sur or other updates smoothly. It barely runs smoothly as it is (though for a 12 year old computer I got for free, it’s most excellent).
I created some sort of media design for Ensenada Adventure. I need to finish that.
I counted stock on my merch. I have around $600 worth of shirts if I sell them right.
I crossed the border to send shirts and buy cat food. It was fast. I’ve barely been in America for a couple of hours this year. Later, I will be traveling to New York or somewhere else. I know it.
But now, I need to make more money. I’m making money, but my days are empty. January was jam packed with tours. February has a few, but not a ton. It’s when I think of getting a part time job.
Or doing photography gigs.
Or writing a cover story. I used to write those. How did I do it?
I’m not sure. The world is too crazy to focus on anything.
Back to DotA.
And cleaning and doing laundry and shit. I accomplished that a bit at least. Apartment looks clean and I got clean clothes. And I sent shirts.
People are so fucking stupid. I just woke up. Like always, I did social media sweep (check for notifications and whatnot). Reddit had nothing, but I scrolled for 10 seconds and saw a picture of disgusting looking tacos. And people defend them.
I got into an argument with idiots before drinking my coffee. I regret it. People are fucking stupid. Let them be fucking stupid. You can’t fix all the stupid people.
Fucking stupid people.
I had coffee. I had breakfast. I did a workout. I watched my morning shows. And the dude keeps replying to my comments defending his tacos and talking shit. Some people can’t just fucking stop. And I’m one of them.
I have no idea what this stranger looks like. I have no idea where he is from. I saw his profile and he seems to be obsessed with Reddit. Then talks shit about someone that goes on Reddit.
People are so weird.
But hey little buddy. You do you. I don’t have much to do today. So if you keep replying, I will do the same.
Pathetic. I’m aware. In the meantime, creating content for the sake of it. I got good at cooking rib eye at home:
I could eat that every day.
I’m selling my Canon 7D for cheap. Is VERY heavily used. I’m including the Sigma lens 18-35mm/1.8f. Both for $450 (or the lens for $400 and the camera for $50). That was my bread and butter for many years. I love that lens. I like that camera. It’s 2025. I barely use it. It deserves a new owner. A student or someone that needs an intro to a decent DSLR that’s old as fuck. It’s better than a shit Rebel. And the lens… I will miss that lens. It’s time to let it go.
I’ll keep my Sony camera and some lenses. Selling more other stuff for undecided. And eventually updating to a newer Sony if I want to keep shooting.
I rarely take pictures.
The studio Elinchrom lights are dying to almost dead. I need to figure out what to do with that.
It’s February, like I predicted, there weren’t going to be many tours. It’s Thursday. No tour this weekend. If nothing happens, Ensenada time. I have three booked tours on February. A few in March. And already a few in April and May. I’m sure soon my schedule is going to be busy as fuck.
But I hate the slow days. Nothing to write. No content to create. Just go on Reddit and troll a stranger with shit taste for tacos.
I’ll get to work. Work Matingas. Work.
Or at least play guitar.
