  • 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…

  • June is Finally Here – Sexy Misty Cosplay Shoot (I Do Not Sleep With My Models) – Hollywood is Racist (Duh) and My Next Book

    June is Finally Here is a great song by Don Caballero. Hella, Don Caballero, and Tera Melos (and some Lightning Bolt). I listened to them a lot in 2007. Ever since then I listen to a shit ton of math rock. The book I’m writing is going great! The other book… I get one sale…

  • Post 556: Paparazzo Daze Book – Looking For Roommate (Again) – I’m Getting Older and Drunker

    Post 556. That’s a lot of posts. Been blogging for almost 10 years now. I wish I thought about book writing through Amazon years ago… My really old blog posts still get a ton of visitors, like the Britney Spears one. I just wrote that chapter for my second book. Turns out, I didn’t need…

  • New Studio Lights (Thanks, Andy) – Beer Reviews on the YouTube – Motivation Manifest Yourself Please

    I should blog and do some work… but let me smoke and play some Starcraft. And then… I don’t do anything. I wake up late because most of us wake up late in these weird times. It’s May. Mother’s Day was yesterday and I cried a bunch. By myself. Because we are all alone. Speaking…

  • Chapter 24: Tecate Virus – Uncertainty for All – Tits Out at Dandy’s

    Chapter 24. Fucking Tijuana. I woke up feeling sick. My head hurts. It feels hollow. I have a bit of a cough. Not much mucus though I am spitting more often than normal. I got that Tecate Virus. Except, I didn’t drink Tecate yesterday. It might be the Corona, but I really doubt it. I…

  • Drinking my Earnings – Done Spamming the Book (Working on the Next One) – LOTR Paparazzo Times (That One Time I Talked to Frodo Baggins)

    I woke up at 3:00 a.m. today. I couldn’t go back to bed, so I started watching LOTR The Two Towers for the millionth time. It’s an odd concept to think of this movie as old. And Christopher Lee is gone. I saw a lot of the people in LOTR back in the paparazzo days.…

  • 49 Weeks, 2 Days: Texas Xmas and MJ of TJ- Fuck You 2019! – NFL Fantasy Champion at Least

    49 Weeks, 2 Days. It’s dumb to count because I really lost count forever ago. But I miss my mom so much… I can’t believe it’s going to be a full year without her. It still feels like I’m going to see her on a holiday thing. But no. 2020 is around the corner. I…

  • 33 Weeks, 3 Days: Slow Down September – NFL Fantasía BEGINS – Conclusions of Spending Some Sober Time

    33 Weeks, 3 Days. I’ve been getting some anxiety when I go out to my favorite places in town… I’m afraid I’m going to bump into her and all the depression and feelings will come out. After all, my favorite bar is one of her favorite bars. But at least is slow down September. Not…

    22 Weeks, 1 Day. I originally was going to write at 21 weeks, 4 days. Procrastination and the willingness to do absolutely nothing got the best of me. I do nothing but play video games and… then play more video games. Ok. I did something yesterday. And something the day before. So at least something.…

  • 19 Weeks, 4 Days: Post Vacation Depression – CDMX In Tons Of Pictures Through IMGUR – DMV Tomorrow, Tons of Work Next

    19 Weeks, 4 Days. I’m depressed to be back. It’s not Tijuana. It’s life. I guess that’s what I was trying to avoid. Because… Tijuana… Tijuana is still great. My last night in CDMX was a lazy one because it was a Monday. Not much to do on Mondays I guess. Much less when your…

    19 Weeks, 2 Days. Last day of vacation. CDMX has been a wild and entertaining ride. I do not want to go back to border crossing life reality. I’ve been so distracted that thinking about mom all the time has diminished. I almost lost count again… it’s weird. Life still feels weird. This city has…

    14 Weeks, 2 Days. Waking up still sucks. I don’t think I’ve had a decent night sleep all of 2019. I usually wake up at 3 or 4 a.m., drink some water, then I try to go back to bed. And. I never do. I just lay there. My brain constantly attacking me with depressive…

    13 Weeks exactly. Mom left this world 13 Saturdays ago. I think about her from the moment I wake up. I think about her through the rest of the day. Always holding back some tears… I miss you so fucking much mom… It’s still not real. It still feels like I’m going to see you…

    12 Weeks, 2 Days. There are good days. There are bad days. Good days can be great. Bad days are horrible. Good days are when I get to work and my job is fun and satisfying. Bad days are when little things happen and my brain goes to “fuck everyone.” And it was a wild…

    Juanster is asleep on the couch after two nights of Tijuana Adventures. It’s been many moons since I ventured down to Zona Norte and the brothels. I spent a lot of money that I really shouldn’t be spending. Ok. It wasn’t that much. But it was still money that disappeared for falling in love and…

    Oh. Look. I’m writing in my blog for the first time in more than a month. A lot has happened since then. It’s a nice Sunday morning out. A bit cold, but Bisho enjoys the sun that comes through the balcony. My basil plants are looking great and tasty. I should chop some soon and…

  • Define Tijuana – Rebound Gets Promoted – Last Celebrity: Juliette Lewis

    I skipped Sunday. I was feeling sick. Way too hungover. My Saturday was not what I expected and I kind of went overboard. TJ adventure solo to my limits. It was a bad idea. All of Sunday I laid on the couch nursing my headache and watching NFL. And hey. My fantasy team didn’t do…

    I do not want to get this day started at all. I’ve been avoiding the blog. I woke up early. But bed is so comfy, I just stayed in for a couple of hours. Then the phone rang. Who the fuck is calling me at 8:22 am? Answered. Didn’t say anything. Didn’t hear anything. I…

    It’s almost noon and I just got out of bed… And just remembered… I had a very wild dream. Woke up at 8 am. Thought about writing about it. Fell back asleep and barely remember what it was. It involved my ex. I remember we told each other that we miss each other. And that…

    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.…

    Done with the first article out of four! Should have done this last week but only did half of it. Sort of. It’s an old story. A spooky story. Perfect to run around Halloween time. Fuck.

    SWOOP! Big swoop! Back to Tijuana and real life. Woke up to a million notifications after dreaming about Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky. They were running away from the paparazzi at LAX. I was just there returning for a flight but I also had my camera. So I started shooting her (Paris, Nicky who…

    Alright, dude, you can do this! My girlfriend said she was going to work for this half week that we have left before OAXACA! She lied. She woke up early this morning and said, “I don’t want to go.” Or something like that. It was 4 am. I didn’t take notes. Point is, she decided…
