Feel like giving up: Justin Bieber and the hate culture
It’s been a confusing month. It’s been a confusing year. These are very confusing times. It was only a couple of years back when Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber and more where just little rich kids running around Hollywood and I was chasing behind them (weird…) Now they do crazy different shit and people…

I pulled a Britney: the freelance rollercoaster is pretty wild
When you freelance all your life, it is bound to have some ups and downs. My birthday month was definitely an up. I dedicated all my time and energy on a project (TRF) that when it ended, it felt like going down on the Dragster (Cedar Pointe) reaching top speed and in an instant, it…

TRF: Basking in the glory of nothingness
I have no idea what is going to happen to Tijuana Rumble Fest, all I know is that it happened and it changed me forever. Yes, I am is in serious debt and no profits were made. But there was some success. There was never an accurate count of people that went to the festival, but…

From Paparazzo to Festival Organizer and More: Henry Rollins + TRF
I had a great birthday. One of the best I ever had. The most memorable birthdays I ever had was when I got Super Smash Bros. for the N-64 when I was 13. The other was three years ago when I turned 25, quit my job and went on a road trip. Then this last one…

Happy Birthday Megan Fox! Thanks for destroying my childhood
I don’t give a shit about Megan Fox, much less now that fucking Michael Bay cast her as April O’Neil. I know, I know…Megan Fox is hot, but there are a lot of better looking women with much more talent than her. And for TMNT they didn’t even try to make her look similar to…

The last day as a paparazzo: Going full freelance
It seems forever ago when I decided to quit my job as a staff writer for Soccerly and went full freelance, but that was only 8 months ago. The idea was to combine all my talents and work many different jobs. Many said it would be impossible to do all of them at once, now I’m…

Celebrity is a state of mind: Macaulay Culkin in Tijuana again
Fame is in the eye of the beholder. There are so many celebrities now a days and so much information online that we can give ourselves the luxury to love or hate as many we want. You know how many fucks I ever gave for the kids of Gossip Girl? I saw all of them,…

I’m so busy but all I want to do is watch House of Cards: Robin Wright at LAX.
So much work, so little time. Or maybe I’m just lazy. 2014 started out slow with my articles getting rejected so I started to look for more gigs everywhere. But after many rejections, sources started publishing me again and work started to pour in. Suddenly, it was February and I found myself overwhelmed by work…

Shia LaBeouf announces retirement from public life: Are we supposed to cry?
I had no idea about his plagiarized scandal, but you can tell that Shia doesn’t take criticism like a man. Some artists fall into a plagiarized scandal but they don’t act like he did. For example, when Coldplay plagiarized Joe Satriani. They settle that scandal like grown men with an out-of-court settlement, instead of whining…

Much More Than a Paparazzo: I’m Ted Danson
So much has changed since I was let go from my staff job as a paparazzo back in March of 2011. I wrote a story that same day that I got “fired” and thought about writing a book re-telling my celebrity encounters as I continued to work for the same agency as a freelance photographer.…
