Week 44 (2025) – Halloween 2025 A Flash That Flashes – Low Season to End the Year – First Paycheck… and It’s Gone
First Monday of the month. I paid rent. It makes me sad. It should make me happy. I have shelter for another month… but it just gives me big sad. Money comes, money goes. I got my first paycheck from my new job managing social media for two restaurants… and it’s gone. Rent and the…

Week 42 (2025) – Back to Food Photography – No Tours, No Money – 12K Followers on Insta
Instagram, as a photo application, is dead. It’s mostly video now (it has been for a while). Photos don’t look high-def. There is a need for a new platform that showcases high-quality pictures. What will it be? Patreon? Subscribe to my Patreon! I’ve been uploading A TON of photos for free. Spooky Season is here,…

Week 32 (2025) – Big Apple, 3 AM – Matingas Now on Substack – Bad Burger, Great Beer, and New Bar
New York in exactly a month. I’m excited. We’re excited. My girlfriend sends me dozens of TikToks about New York almost daily. I watch MOST of them. But there are too many. Many influencers have a whispery voice that I find annoying. I want to create my own content, not consume others. I have friends.…

Week 24 + 25 (2025) – Book Fair Closing – Wu Clan Ensenada and TJ Tour Adventure – Tijuana No! Live (concert photography)
Welp… I did it again. I got way too busy and I couldn’t blog last week. I had a tour early on Tuesday with a lovely couple with Disney tattoos. We weren’t suppose to drink. The husband had a tattoo appointment at 5 pm and you are not supposed to drink before getting a tattoo.…

Week 21 + 22 (2025) – Weird Shit Happens – So Much Content, So Much Work, So Many Tours – Ensenasty Adventure
Oooeee. I’m tired like a forty year old man. I had two tours in a row. They were both great clients like always. Yesterday’s tour was a couple from Riverside that are into Real Estate. We walked a lot. It was great, I love walking this city even though it’s not the most beautiful place…

Week 19 + 20 (2025) – Coffee Shrooms for 40th Birthday and GF Vacation – Viral Tours and Videos – Viral Virus, I’m Still Sick
It’s my birthday this week. In three days. I’m turning 39 but I tell people I’m turning 40. I don’t feel like I look forty. I got a haircute yesterday. The dude before me said he was turning 35. Fucker looked much older than me. Or perhaps I look much older and I just don’t…

Week 18 (2025) – Old Uncle Time – Two Tours and Random Shit – New Batch of Shirts!
New mouse! And… we lose even harder in DotA. Four games. Four losses. That’s the new mouse record. But… it’s SOOOO much better. This mouse is huge. And the right click works. And it has extra buttons because it’s a gaming mouse. I like it. Worth the $25 I paid for it. It’s Monday and…

Week 15 (2025) – April Got Better (and More to Come) – I Wore a MAGA Hat and Didn’t Like It – Full Moon 18
I’m on a TikTok live. I have much work to do. I can’t write and be on TikTok live at the same time. I get distracted. It’s hard to do. It was a helluva of a week. Yeah. That TikTok live consumed my time and I didn’t write my blog. I’ll be going on TikTok…

Week 14 (2025) – Shit April Continues – iMac Dies and Revives in Sonoma (OCLP) – Okayish DotA Team and TikTok Lives
Ooooeee shit! What a horrible start to April. I was going to write about how happy I am because I finally got an SSD external hard drive and I did Open Core Legacy Patcher and updated my iMac to Sonoma. DotA was running great. I downloaded the new Luminar “Neo” and it was working smoothly.…

Week 13 (2025) – AI Blog Posting (or Is It?) – Newish Camera GoPro 10 and a Ton of Content – Bad Start to April
It’s been shitty and depressing days… Ever since I lost my camera. But fear not, I got another camera now. It’s a GoPro 10. A friend gave it to me. A gift and a loan at the same time. He says he doesn’t use it, but if I get another camera, to give it back.…

Week 11 (2025) – Influencer Game and Rainy Tours – Taking Pictures and Sushi Spot Review
Chrome crapped out. My iMac can’t handle it. I’m using Safari and it’s working fine though it’s an outdated Safari. Things run smoothly. I can write here in my blog. I can browse standard websites and watch Netflix. I can still play DotA. Chrome has been my browser for years. It knows me. I deleted…

Week 9 (2025) – Sick Kitty and Dumb Comments – More Tours and Mochomos Review
Chimba is sick. She started puking on Friday. That’s normal. She pukes often. Like twice or so every two weeks. But the second puke looked different. Too much fluid. Then she puked again. Saturday, she did the same. Puked four or five times during the course of the day. Sunday I took her to the…

Week 6 (2025) – Things End and Selling Shit – Slow February Continues (Post 664)
This is post number 664. That’s a lot of blog posts about my life. And that’s also a very Tijuana number. February is slow. Not that many Tijuana Adventures this month. January was good, so I have enough money. Fuckkkkk DotA! Such a fucking addicting game that is also so shitty. Five losses in a…

Week 5 (2025) – Slow February Start – Selling Gear, Going to Ensenada
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…

Week 3 (2025) – Bring It 2025 (but be nice) – 6 Years of 2nd Life
My mom would have hated this day more than I do. She hated Trump. And his first hour as president for a second round is plenty dramatic. I hate this day not much because of that. Because it marks six years without my mom. The new life. And since then, shit got crazy. I’m used…

Writing Every Week for 2025 – Life Balance – Tijuana Adventure Shop
I’m sad over the stupidest thing… My fantasy football team lost on the quarterfinals. Third place overall to lose it all on the first playoff. I still have 6% chance to win and I depend on Sincere McCormick and Younghoe Koo… I’m not posting this until tomorrow. By then, I probably already lost. I’m holding…

November 2024: New Shirt, Chinese Food! – Tía Visits from Texas – Halloween 2024 and More
So much anger. Fucking Calimax on Calle Segunda. That’s all I wrote before having breakfast. Sometimes I have anger issues. But that fucking super market… 8 people waiting in line with only one cashier open. I’m on 7th place and I only need eggs, tortillas, and orange juice. I see a cashier moving to a…

May Again: Bye Donatella – Bye 37, Bye – Hi More Work and Tours
She packed her things to leave. She has a lot of things in my place. She didn’t leave. But was about to. And like always. It was my fault. It was I who yelled to get out of my apartment. Telling the story and reasoning about it here wouldn’t make sense. You would only hear…

March 2024: Photo & Beer Crash Course – Paparazzi en Español – Bye Tijuana… !
I finished the translation of my Paparazzi Book. It will be in Spanish coming soon! Hopefully, by the end of March. When Karlha finishes the edit. You can buy the English version on Amazon, here! It took me the month of February to translate it. Me tomó el mes de febrero acabar la traducción. You…

November Before CDMX: TJ Cover Story (again) – SAD – Infinity Content
I woke up before sunrise at 4 something a.m. It’s cold out. It’s cold in. My apartment is freezing. I’m SAD. Seasonal affective Disorder. It happens every winter and I fucking hate it. I hate daylight savings time. No reason for humans to do that anymore. And I miss her. I miss waking up next…

Birthday 36 – Astrophoto and Tennis in Anza Borrego – Exclusive Patreon and YouTube is Back
Hey!I’m 36 now!I’ve been saying that since the beginning of the month. Since the beginning of the year. As soon as the year turns, I assume the age I’m going to be. I assumed it so early, that I forgot and I thought I was turning 37. The math doesn’t check out. So yes. Thirty-six.…

Ensenada Adventure: Finding Vicmar the Shipwreck – DotA All the Time – Kim Shantal and Fame
It feels like all I do is play DotA and nothing else. But I saw the last blog and it reminded me that I did a shit ton that week. And looking back… I did a shit ton last week as well. I wish I made money doing all I did… but it was an…

I’m Fucking 35, Camping Adventure Time – Matingas the Character – Kim Shantal
This new wordpress layout still sucks. Perhaps that’s the reason I haven’t felt like writing anything here. Perhaps is because I’ve been busy as fuck (or so it feels, but then I realize I’m not). Perhaps I don’t have much to write… I’m fucking 35 now. I feel old as shit. Bahahaha! For a while,…

Bfsalfas -Fuck Everything, I’ve Got Work To Do – April Photoshoots
I FUCKING HATE LIFE TODAY! Starting with a fuck you to you fucking WordPress, my website host. I’m frustrated about other shit and now I can’t access the classic editor like I used too. I remember how frustrating last post was because I was forced to use this new blogging system, and somehow, I went…

42 Weeks, 2 Days: Eternal Sunshine the Toxicity – Frank West Halloween and Day of the Dead – Guest Room and Studio and Work
42 Weeks, 2 Days. I’ve been busy. Or so I tell myself. And that’s why I didn’t blog last week or did my NFL summary in Spanish, but I’m not sure what I’ve been doing. Just feels like I’ve been busy. So much happens in two weeks. Halloween. My aunt’s visit. A lot of work.…
