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…

Front Page Because of Tacos – Redditing All Day – Stevie Wonder
It was a good week. I made it to the front page of Reddit on Thursday because I posted a picture of tacos. Reddit karma went from 6,000+ to almost 13,000. I received more than 250 messages and the thread has over 1,500 comments. I am not sure how I feel about my Reddit success.…

Drinking Early, Waking Up Earlier – Bachelor Party Tour – Angelina Jolie & Cyndi Lauper
Last week was pretty much out of control. Fortunately I made some money through Tijuana Adventure (and also had a blast). I am planning a lot of changes for Tijuana Adventure and it involves more and more writing. That website receives much more traffic than my blog and I haven’t posted anything in a long…

I’m Giving Up For Now – Broken Spirit – This is Not Magic (It’s Dikembe)
Surprise! I’m not posting on a Monday. Surprise!: I’m updating this post and I also never do that. I’m a drama queen. Things turned out to be way better than I originally assumed. Still a lot of stress and drama, but I’m not that fucked or I’m not that horrible as I thought! GO ME! (Now…

Broke, But Picking Up The Pieces – HoC is Shaking – Nobody Loves Mila Kunis
February was not a good month. I spent a good a bit over two weeks horribly sick, barely working and not going out. I spend a bunch of money in medicine, doctor consultation, homeopathic doctor (what a joke), and a dentist. I got lucky and got paid more than I thought for one article, but…

Still Sick, Still Sober and Now Depressed – Selena Gomez
I was sick all week. It was fucking horrible. I’m still sick right now, but nothing compared to how I felt. Monday was shit. Tuesday was shit and I couldn’t sleep that I wrote this: I can’t sleep. I feel like I am dying. I have really sharp stomach pains and I am coughing like a…

Lucky Streak Week Reddit Front Page – German Vegan Girl in Tijuana – Heidi Klum
Hey everyone! THIS IS NORA and she is traveling the world. She is a really cool vegan girl from Hannover, (she is 22 years old). Nora arrived in Tijuana on Tuesday and left Saturday after spending two months traveling/couchsurfing through the USA (her favorite city was Austin). We spend our days looking for vegan food…

Horrible Week Turns to Awesome Weekend – Olivia Munn
My week couldn’t have started any worse. At least last week I did publish on my blog on a Monday. But after writing in my blog, I went to a bar, took a tequila shot for courage, and I confessed my infatuation for a lesbian girl. It didn’t go well. Why would she care, she…

Tijuana Adventures are Going to Kill me, Star Wars, Harrison Ford.
I had an unproductive week, yet it was awesome. I managed to get one story published about Dia de Reyes after getting two rejections in a row. The stories that got rejected took me way longer to work on, the one that got published was an anecdote of how Mexican I am. I got paid…

New Camera – New Year – RIP Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead
I finally have a DSLR (a Canon 7D). A Christmas present from me to me. I won’t have to borrow my roommate’s Rebel anymore. After a five year hiatus, I am back to the photography world. I chose the worst day to go the beach and take pictures, but here are some of my shots:…

Happy/Sad Week – Border Matters – Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal
On Tuesday I woke up to great news that my article got accepted as a feature story (not yet published, but already paid). That night, friends from San Diego came over to do a photoshoot of Tropics bar. On Thursday a friend from my hometown arrived to Tijuana. Friday I woke up sad because my…

Cold is Gone – Tijuana Reader Adventure – Beyonce, Katherine McPhee, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Lautner
This post is going to be short on words but with a lot of pictures. Last week, I didn’t get much done because I was still hibernating. I managed to brave the cold for a limited time and worked on an article that got published: A baby was born on the San Ysidro/Tijuana border. But for the…

Worst Week is Followed by Best Week – Tijuana Rumble Fest 2 – Michael J Fox
I did not post on Monday. I am posting late again. It might seemed like I did it on purpose to go with the B2TF theme, but it was more because I was enjoying myself too much and procrastinating is my favorite activity. Last week, I felt miserable. I had worked a lot and didn’t…

Shitty Day, Shitty Week – Matt LeBlanc
Sharp pains in my stomach woke me up at 5 a.m. I got up, took some alka seltzer, and then immediately start puking. And puking a lot. It was horrible. I wasn’t hungover, though I did drink, it wasn’t as much as a normal weekend. I got food poisoning. This happened to me exactly a…

A pile of work, a pile of laundry – There is no justice like Victoria Justice
Though I work all of last week, it made no difference in my $$$$ situation. Of course I could have worked way more, but I can’t stop playing Diablo 3. I did work a lot, though cleaning your apartment doesn’t pay. And if it did pay, I am not that good of a cleaner. I…

Mehh Tolerance Break Sort of Fail – I am taller than Batman! Christian Bale
My tolerance break wasn’t much of a break. I didn’t really stop smoking, I did however slowed it down a lot and did go a couple of days without smoking at all. I noticed a few differences, both positive and negative, but more than anything, negative. Positive things: I was a tad more productive. I…

The Procrastination Station – Tommy Chong & Cheech Marin
It was going to happen eventually. Last blog post I was late a couple of days. Then I skipped posting for one week and I am finally posting now. I wasn’t that busy or anything, I haven’t been doing much but smoking, playing video games and watching Getting Doug With High. I actually started writing…

A thin line between work and hobby – Tijuana Adventure – Chevy Chase
I hate work, most people hate work and I am like most people. However, I am by far on the side of people that enjoy their work, except you know actors and rockstars, I still simply prefer doing nothing. When I lived with my uncle for my senior year in High School, he told me…

Success Makes Me Lazy. Classy Lady Crush = Julianne Moore
Following the previous week’s success, this last week I even had more success and not only in freelance writing. I didn’t get printed four times in a row, but I rescued an article from dying and it got published in local source the SanDiegoRed and got one more print with my usual magazine, the San Diego…

On Hold and The Douchiness of Kanye West
So… things aren’t going as great as they should be. Since I quit my job, I haven’t been published and no tours have happened (many emails, several cancellations). But everyone keeps posting “follow your dream” bullshit things on social media. We are supposedly a generation that does whatever we feel like and make a living out…

Tijuana Adventure with College Housemate, Poker, Maybe Feature Story and Alanis Morissette
Oops. I missed the Monday deadline. But hey, I was in San Diego all day enjoying the day and I wrote the blog post in my ipad. I just wasn’t home to publish it (and edit photos). Here it is: It’s been only a week since I quit my job. I should be working all…

New post every Monday! Today = Adam Levine
OHHHHH Yeaahhhhh!! I quit my job! It has been a really fast and weird year. My new years resolution to write more went nowhere, but like almost every year, I get shaken up more over my birthday than new years. I am almost thirty now (I turned 29 on May 16th). For that reason, I…

I have been avoiding my computer…
New years resolution was a fail. The idea was to write more than ever before, but I have been avoiding my computer like if it wasn’t working. I was going to post more frequently in this blog and on Tijuana Adventure about all the tours I’ve been having. At least the San Diego Reader keeps…

My Entire Adult Life I have been in Magazines and Blogs: 2014 Year Summary.
2015 is around the corner. My thirties are coming up soon. And I am still wondering what I am doing with my life. That’s what my life looked like on February 2011, a few months before quitting my job. That was the last month I had LAX duty and after that I relinquished to freelance…
