  • Published but Need More – Great Drunk Thursday – Sick Friday

    I finished the job I had to do. I wasn’t completely satisfied with it. I could have kept on writing. Make it long. Gamble more again. But I stopped myself and finished it short. I got published quicker than I thought. It usually takes a couple of days and sometimes even months to get published.…

  • I Applied for a Job – Tour This Weekend – This Is The End

    I watched the movie This Is The End yesterday. I rarely watch movies. And if I do, they are stupid ones. I also saw the comedy roast of James Franco, which I’ve seen before but barely remembered. I saw almost all the actors in that movie. I liked most of them in person. They were…

  • An Odd and Incredible Monday – Forced into Femininity – If Only ….

    If only …. If only I was always inspired to work, I would do so much more. But it is difficult. I have to finish an article today, not even sure where to start. And after that… I still don’t know where to go. Directions seem to always be a blur when freelancing everything and…

  • Weekend Was Amazing – Hating This Monday – Whitney Houston

    I used to loathe Sundays. They always made me feel so numb. But nah… now Sundays are alright. I enjoy them. They are a break. It has NFL. I can do whatever the fuck I want. Everyone hates Mondays. Very Garfieldesque. But I am hating this Monday. It’s so mundane. HARHARHARHAR After my awesome Thursday,…

  • Unexpected Thursday Night – Busy Friday – Quest for Enchilados

    I had an unexpected Thursday night. I went out with a friend to watch SPORTS. Yep. Football and Baseball. LA Dodgers vs Washington Nationals. My friend was sure the Nats were going to win. He was wrong. I hate the Dodgers, but oh well, don’t care much about baseball. On the other tv, SD Chargers…

  • Finally Laundry – Bisho the Contortionist – Getting Paid

    At the laundromat. I never used a public one in any city I have ever lived in, except Tijuana. This laundromat seems like it hasn’t changed in decades.   In college there was the basement laundry both Freshmen and Sophomore year. Not the same dynamic. Junior and Senior year housing came with washing/drying machine.  …

  • Day 5 of No Response – Photography Gig and Beer – Still Uncertain Thus is The Freelance Life

    It’s been 5 days since I sent the story and no reply. Yesterday I sent another email asking again. Today is that special Tuesday, and it’s not only because tap Tuesday, but because today I send pay requests. Uncertainty makes me not know how much money I’m making. But I guarantee myself a few hundred…

  • Reposting for Karma – Uncertainty Leads to Depression – Media Log 2011

    Welp. A weekend has passed and still no response. So my check for this week is uncertain and I am tired of that and it makes me sorta depressed. So I’m back to broke again. But I’m alright. I did some other work that will pay me alright. I can afford rent. And I still…

  • Hungover – Uncertainty Continues – Gansos

    I started drinking early yesterday. I needed to get out of my apartment. After sending an article, refreshing your inbox constantly is not healthy. I really wanted to avoid drinking, but Tijuana makes it difficult. Went out. Got some burritos. Then a healthy beet, celery, carrot, pineapple, and orange juice thingy drinky drink. I kicked…

  • Uncertainty Eats My Soul Away – Fried Chicken Friday – Writing Like a Maniac

    So… I’m basically posting in here everyday. And not only that. Working a lot everyday. This past two days I work in one article that was meant to be around 500-800 words long. But I got inspired and ended up writing 1,700. It is a different type of article too. I don’t think I ever…

  • Early Morning Jazz – Blogging Everyday – Haitian Chicken Fight Song

    Charles Mingus Haitian Fight Song loops in my head. I played this song on my sophomore year in college. In fact, I met with the Mingus Big Band for a master class. The song starts with a bass solo. I was the bassist. I wasn’t good. The whole class was mostly focus on the intro…

  • IAmA on Reddit was a Bust – Daily Existential Crisis – No Celebrity!

    Hey! I feel like writing a lot. Like I always do. But this time I can spew my non-sense freely without digging through my hard drive to post old pictures of celebrities that I took. I’ll keep doing that when the right person pops in my head. Or I’ll most likely continue the Monday tradition to…

  • Post #100! – Let’s Party – Kim Fucking Kardashian

    YAY! I made it! Post #100. Incredible. I feel accomplished. And like I need to rest for such shitty accomplishment as narrate my weekly life and post pictures of celebrities that I took years ago. But I have so much work to do after I am done with this post. I didn’t do much writing…

  • Sick Sweaty Good Week – Uncancellations – Lady Gaga

    It was a good week. Even though I was sick for half of it. It was more than a good week. Last week… my beer gig thing for San Diego Beer Week got canceled. Then this week… it got uncanceled. So now it’s back! I am the curator of Baja Beer day in San Diego’s…

  • Job Cancellations on Post 98 – Toros de Tijuana Beisbol – Adriana Lima

    It’s cloudy. There might be rainstorms. I already missed it a bit yesterday, but I might get one of those awesome lightning pictures. It’s been quite some time that I’ve desired this. Probably my whole life. I had an inspired week. A weird week (like always). A meaningless and meaningful week. A lot of action.…

  • Canceled Week – Cheeseburger Picnic Party – Lauren Bacall

    Last week was supposed to be amazing. I had this three day beer tour event invitation to just enjoy beer everything paid. It got canceled. Plans fell through, and I fell with them. My week was wasted in absolute nothingness. When I said I was going to work, I ended up frozen in time, procrastination…

  • Survived Being Broke – Time to Work on Drinking More Beer – Alessandra Ambrosio

    Being broke wasn’t that horrible. Like I said… I’m used to it. At least this time I was broke by choice: I went on a long vacation trip and spent over $1,000 in a couple of weeks. Mea culpa. All of last year I was broke barely making enough to live, but that wasn’t much…

  • Yes, People Die – Juan Gabriel Made Me a Paparazzo – Sly Stone

    Yes. People die. Juan Gabriel yesterday, and now Gene Wilder. The flood of posts on social media is outstanding. I feel like this trend generated a couple of years ago. I remember 2014 as many people posting dead celebrity news and the world weeping. That year everyone was like “how many 2014?” It was the…

  • Home is Weird and I am Broke – Fuck Zion Ntl’ Park (Vegas & Road Trip) – Julia Stiles

    It’s been a week since I came back home. Tijuana is weird. I ended up walking around yesterday and shouting inside my head “Weird people doing weird shit all the time! WEIRD PEOPLE DOING WEIRD SHIT ALL THE TIME!” I miss the road a lot. But now that a week has passed, I’m getting used…

  • Back to Reality – Road Trip Over – Vin Diesel

    The contrasts of what we see on the road are amazing. Especially when you camp for three nights in the middle of nowhere in Utah then stay in a 5-star hotel in the middle of the strip in Las Vegas and to finish it up in Tijuana. Road trip is over. I’m back in Tijuana.…

    Hey United States! I’m going to be traveling through you. Flying to Minneapolis then driving down back. With my camera. And my friends! Here is what the itinerary looks like so far: I’m leaving Tijuana on Tuesday to arrive to LA at some point in the late afternoon. Spending the night with my best friend in…

  • I’m Leaving Tijuana – Need a Catsitter for Bisho – Tim Curry

    It feels like I didn’t delete my Facebook at all. I already kinda want to have another break. At least I try not to comment on anything and limit my FB use to messenger and sometimes randomly scrolling around. I don’t have the FB app in either my phone or iPad (messenger I do), but…

  • Facebookless for a Week – I’m Busy – Anthony Kiedis

    The grumpiness got the best of me. I started fighting with everyone, blocking, and deleting people. I am always saying I need a vacation, but that’s not going to happen any time soon (or is it…?) A friend invited me on a road trip, but not about timeline. But it might be done. What I…

  • Grumpmaster Matt – Starfox is AWESOME – Paul Rudd

    It was a weird week. I feel like I say that every single week. I just can’t help it. Tijuana is a weird place and it makes weird days and nights. Last week I said I was pretty down, well, this week I was a grumpmaster. Monday that I was a bit down, I decided…

  • Not Loving This Monday, Sorta Down & Much Work – Reddit Meetup – Isabel Lucas

    Last blog post I left in a rush because I had a photography mission with Andy. Unfortunately, we failed. We waited for hours in two dive bars in Tijuana for the electric shocks salesman, but he never appeared. I still have that mission… That’s me drinking in a bar waiting for something to happen. Andy…
