  • January Recovered – New Job, New Book, New Life – Tours, Photoshoots, and Presentations

    I’m doing nothing but waiting again. It sucks. I got offered the job. I accepted it. I’ve done all the paperwork and tests. I’m still not scheduled to work. They let you know ahead of time, but it’s almost February and I have no idea what days I’m working or not. I’ve gotten four emails…

  • 2023: Weird Start and a New Job – Of Houston and Houston Beer – Still a Writer, 50 Copies of Book in Español

    I need to write and I still don’t. I finished a Hunter S. Thompson book during my break. It inspired me to write. He repeats himself so much. I repeat myself so much. He made it seem easy. Just write. And that’s what I will do. But I have my new job in my mind.…

  • New Year, New Job (I Hope) – Houston for the Holidays – Chase money, Not Love

    I’m dipping into what little savings I have. I don’t like it. Broke as fuck. But I’ll be alright. Heartbroken as hell. But I’ll be alright. It’s Christmas time. December disappeared like I said it would. The first week didn’t count. I was sick the whole time and the weather was shit. The second week…

  • November 2022: Halloween Traditional Album – Podcast Goes TikTok Viral – CDMX Soon

    Here we go again. Post 621. Can you fucking believe that?! November 2022. The year is almost over. I go to Mexico City for the last week of November. I’m covering my friend’s wedding in San Joaquin, Querétaro. I bought the plane tickets months ago. I’m not sure where I’m staying. I’m not sure what…

  • July is Gone – All Instagram, Social Media Distortion – Photoshoots for Money Taco Paparazzo

    July is suddenly gone. I don’t know what the fuck happened to me. I feel like a mammoth stuck in tar. I feel like I should be big and roaming around. Alas, I am not. I’m stuck in the same space letting time go by. I had one great Saturday. That was this last Saturday.…

  • Goth Kids Photoshoot and Puppies – Nett Nett Radio and Space – Upcoming Eater Contributor

    Pain fucking Mondays. But I feel alright. I cleaned the cats litter box. That was disgusting. Because I’m a lazy POS, I let it accumulate. Not the shit… the empty litter bags. There were over a dozen empty litter bags piled up. I crushed them all and put them inside one litter bag so I…

  • X-Mas Set and Flying Around – Pay What You Can or Texas Time – Bye-Bye Fantasy Football and Books

    I woke up to the sounds of Transformers fucking outside my window. There are issues with the water pipes and drainage on my street. Trucks and other equipment are making a shit ton of mechanical sounds and rock/cement breaking. It sounds like Transformers fucking. I have been doing fucking nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. I have…

  • No Line, Easy Gig – Back to Book Promoting – NFL Fantasy en Español (Semana 7)

    This is dumb. This year. This life. That’s how it feels. Probably because I lost in my NFL fantasy game and my parlay. Probably because I’m not sure where to go next. It feels like that way too often. I have two somewhat easy photo gigs. One is super simple. Go to multiple spots, take…

  • Paparazzi Daze Book Comes Out in a Week!!! – September is almost over – NFL Fantasy Football Season 3!

    Ugh… Amazon is taking forever. I’m trying to upload the latest cover design for my book but it’s not going through. Just stays in “processing your files…” I need to update the manuscript as well… The latest revision is being done by the sensei master himself, Chad. His book is also coming out soon! And…

  • Donatella Died, Valle de Guadalupe Trip – Sex Change – “Paparazzi Daze” Book 63.7% Done

    The longer I go without writing, the harder it gets to get back to it. It has happened to me before. It is happening to me again. You forget just how you do it. How do I just sit here and word vomit so much? How did I write a book about Tijuana in a…

  • TJ Adventure is FREE FREE FREE (Digital Edition) – Life Seems Stretchy – Paparazzi Book is Coming Along Nicely!

    It’s 3:33 p.m. I woke up late. I just had breakfast. Not even halfway through my morning routine and the day is almost over… I slept all day yesterday. I wrote half a chapter of my next book. Then it was too damn hot to do anything. I laid down for a second. Next thing…

  • Chapter 23: CPT Canadian Progressive Tour – Digital Book is LIVE! – Print Version Soon

    It’s Monday after a crazy week and weekend that absorbed me and spat me out destroyed and more of an alcoholic than when I started… It’s Monday. I’m doing laundry and setting up my week. I only have one photo job this Wednesday. I have a writing gig that I need to deliver in a…

  • January 2020: Tijuana Adventure BOOK! – More Photoshoots – Buy My Book for $6.64 ! ! !

    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…

  • 34 Weeks, 3 Days: Published TJ Tour Guide Stories Book Here – Support me on Patreon (Hah) – NFL in Spanish Semana #2

    34 Weeks, 3 Days. I miss a good home-cooked meal. My diet is composed of tacos, burgers (no more please), pizza,  burritos, more tacos, different types of tacos, sometimes chicken wings, and beer. I also consume garbage Oxxo food from time to time. Their shitty sandwiches and whatnot. I like good sandwiches. There are no…

  • 31 Weeks, 2 Days: “The Achiever” according to Enneagram – NFL Fantasy Has Begun – Still Alive… I Guess

    31 Weeks, 2 Days. I just scheduled two payments on my student loans from North Dakota. Yes. My student loans come from North Dakota for some shitty reason. I still owe $5,500+ and I’m paying $105 per month. Which… really hurts. My other student loans are bothering me as well. I ignore it. I don’t…

  • My Truth About Hollywood Scandals – The First Chapter of a Book I Never Wrote – CTM: Talking to Elijah Wood

    Uhh… I should uhh… Write something. You know. For work. I haven’t done that since the last thing that got published. And I did one photo gig. And one special edition. I guess that’s enough. I have three to work on in the hopper. And character stories that come and go. I should write something.…
