  • 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…

  • May 16, 2023: 37th Birthday – So Many Tours, So Much Work – BorderKid Podcast and New Cover Coming Soon!

    Welp shit. I’m 37. For years, my birthdays have brought misery with them. It doesn’t feel that way anymore. May is always money. It’s been like that for a while. Before the pandemic, I covered Gator by the Bay and made good money during May. There are a lot of events. I get busy in…

  • Eternal March: Influencer Sellout – Book Presentation and More Travel – Warren, Ohio

    I’m good with words. I’m not very imaginative, I can’t create a new world. But I’m good with words and storytelling. I have friends who are horrible at this shit. They will tell you a story for more ten minutes that could be summarized in a few words. And the whole fucking story is that…

  • 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…

  • July 2022: Puppy Studio Cover – Thinking of Her – Food Influencer Gone Wrong

    I’m happy but also feeling sad. I got sunshine but also debt in a bag. More gigs coming my way, more expenses to spend. It’s coming on. Everything seems to be going great for me. It’s so good, that I got that feeling of impostor syndrome. I work at a taco truck serving and sometimes…

  • Mid-September Already – Food Photography Is Life – New Roommate, Blast from the Past

    And holy shit! Just like that, it’s September. I didn’t post shit in August, and already halfway through the month and I haven’t written much. I had another cover in the San Diego Reader, here: https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2021/aug/25/cover-unintended-baja-med-escapade/ In the beginning of the story, I tout myself as a food photographer. And that’s what I want to…

  • February: Slow Short Cold Month – Model, Cover, and Other Photography – Irish Visit, Xolos Game, and Work Ahead

    February was a slow short month. I didn’t do nearly as much work as I should have. And I’ve been sick for the past three days. Still sick right now. My nose and lips are so fucking dry. My head still hurts a bit. And I get cough attacks. It’s near the end of it…

  • Her Name Was Lola – More Work, More Interviews, and an Impromptu Tiny Tj Adventure – Only One More Word Vomit to Go

    Well… I was going to skip the word vomit today. The one before the very last. Not because I wasn’t feeling like it… but because I was busy. My brother picked me up at 8:00 a.m. to cross the border so I can borrow the car and do a simple gig. Pictures for a story…

  • Never Met Rafa Saavedra – TJ Times and Existence – Tap Tuesday Helps to Ponder Writer’s Block

    I don’t know much about Rafa Saavedra except what I’ve heard from people and the quotes that float around in la city. I’ve written snippets of his work here and there. I’m reading some right now. He died before my TJ times. He is considered a legend of Tijuana writing. A master of Spanglish. Somewhat…
