    Monday, September 11th, 2023. Never forget. It’s been 22 years. Where were you? I was in Middle School in Querétaro. No one in the classroom found out what happened until they went home later that day. I was pulled out of the classroom. My mom was in tears. My brother lived in New Jersey and…

    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…

    My girlfriend broke up with me on Sunday via text. She said she didn’t want to see me anymore… And then she showed up Monday morning in my apartment. I was in the bathroom when I got her text message if I was up. I said I was. She said she was outside… She tries…

  • March: Music (and Other) Covers – White Boys Visit the Border (Pete, Code, Wood Adventure) – Reality/Other TV Tours and Fuck Chili’s

    March ended in an angry tone. It took me more than two days to let my anger go. I’m still pretty angry. March was busy in general. I also got sick again. The weather has been weird. My memory sucks. I can barely remember what I did the whole month. Let’s see… I had another…

  • Balboa Trees Cover – Thanksgiving Vacation Equals Beers – Legoland and Rouleur Brewing

    I should have done laundry on Sunday. I should have bought coffee yesterday. I should have done this or that. But coffee… I need coffee right now. And laundry later. Yep.

    I’m conflicted about today. And yes. I skipped the blog yesterday for a good reason. Right now, I wait for a journalist from NYC to call me to talk about a story she is looking to work on in late September. Let’s see what that is about. I fucking hate the phone. Alright. Emailed her…

  • Taking Tons of Burger Pictures for a Cover – Good Productive Photo Day and More to Come – Brewers Can Pay Me With Beer

    Alrighty! I’m in a good mood despite being almost broke. It’s because I’m finally being productive. On Monday I did one thing that perhaps will make me some money… and not much. Shit.

  • Back to Health – Cover Shoot Now and Next – Ranting About Veganism Because Dumb Documentary

    WOO!!!! Coffee! I haven’t been excited about coffee in a while. And I won’t be able to drink my usual 3 to 5 cups a morning. I’ll just keep it at one. My girlfriend doesn’t even want me to drink coffee because she is so worried. She’s extremely worried. She got paranoid and started thinking…

  • Star Bar Cover Celebration – I Lied at Subway – Defeated the Second Divine Beast, Vah Rudania

    I got out of bed at 4:55 am to play Zelda. I didn’t just wake up for Zelda. It’s not like I set-up the alarm and I was like, it’s ZELDA TIME! I woke up around 4:40 am and just laid awake thinking about the cover. There were (and are) only two comments on the…

  • Reddit Gold, Reddit Meeting, Much Delicious Karma mmm Yes – Stack of Covers

    I grabbed a big stack of covers. I’m not really sure what for. It is nice to see the cover outside 7-elevens and such, but it is also fruitless. I wanna be like “hey! look, that’s my picture,” but people would just be like… “uhh so?” Yesterday in San Diego was great though. I haven’t…
