  • Deleted Instagram – Depressed From Doing Nothing, Doing Nothing Because Depressed – Purgatory on Earth

    I woke up more depressed than I usually am. More than I have been in a year. My heart feels heavy and everything annoys me. Like my own life. I deleted Instagram because I check it every 10 seconds. After all, there is nothing to do. It is probably not healthy to be on that…

  • I Am Looking for a Roommate – My Book is Only 99 Cents (Kindle Edition) – Getting Published (Michael Jackson and Coronavirus)

    I’ve been dating 4 girls at the same time. That’s a lie. I haven’t been dating anyone. I’ve met a pretty girl a few weeks ago and I started talking to that younger girl as well. They are both bipolar. I like them both, but at the same time, I can’t stand them both. I’m…

  • Moving to Alaska to be a Fisherman – I Bought a Corona Virus Piñata – La Catedral

    I just hung up the phone with my fisherman buddy from Alaska. Who the fuck uses the phone? Him. And my brother. And Szavio the wise man. There are just a few people that do. I love texting, but that phone call was nice. The call was about job prospects. And he also wanted to…

  • Chapter 24: Tecate Virus – Uncertainty for All – Tits Out at Dandy’s

    Chapter 24. Fucking Tijuana. I woke up feeling sick. My head hurts. It feels hollow. I have a bit of a cough. Not much mucus though I am spitting more often than normal. I got that Tecate Virus. Except, I didn’t drink Tecate yesterday. It might be the Corona, but I really doubt it. I…

  • Do Nothing and Write – IG Book Giveaway – New Cover Picture (and some Text), Will Work in my own Covers

    I am doing nothing. I didn’t sell any books through Amazon yesterday. None have been sold today. Two were sold two days ago (one Kindle, one Paperback). Three were sold the day before that (all Kindle). That’s about it for March… 15 books sold and it’s almost half the month. I’m giving up. I am…

  • Drinking my Earnings – Done Spamming the Book (Working on the Next One) – LOTR Paparazzo Times (That One Time I Talked to Frodo Baggins)

    I woke up at 3:00 a.m. today. I couldn’t go back to bed, so I started watching LOTR The Two Towers for the millionth time. It’s an odd concept to think of this movie as old. And Christopher Lee is gone. I saw a lot of the people in LOTR back in the paparazzo days.…

    My neighbor just grabbed my butt a minute ago. I went out to grab coffee beans because I have none. Shitty Oxxo coffee and some yogurt. And on my way back, she was opening the gate. I told her I would open it for her. And she grabbed my butt. SEXUAL HARASSMENT YO!!! She said…

    This is post 543. That’s a lot of fucking posts. Selling a book is hard yo. I should have done something else that I can sell. Like cookies. People like cookies. Selling cookies is probably easier. Or burgers. Or brewed my own beer. You know… things people buy. People don’t buy books. I just get…

    That year is over. No need to keep counting. I lost count in week 22 or so. I still wake up daily and think of her. And lately, I’ve been having dreams about my mom. It’s weird in the sense that I think my dream is a reality and my reality is a dream. My…

    43 Weeks, 3 Days. I was depressed yesterday. For the usual reasons. And because I suffer from writer’s block in stuff that actually pays me (not this shit). I have half a dozen articles that I started and go nowhere. I want to keep it simple. Start with a simple article, send it, get it…
