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 I’m using Safari and it’s working fine though it’s an outdated Safari.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 10 (2025) – Rainy Party Tours – Ensenada Baby Shower Photoshoot
It’s rainy and shitty again. It seems to be like that every time I write. The street still smells like shit. I wonder if Tijuana will ever fix it. A river of sewer water is running four floors beneath me. My downstairs neighbor has it worse. The people that live near street level… Yeah. The…

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 8 (2025) – Tijuana Party Tours and Deep Tissue Massage – Ensenada Beer Fest Package Tour!
It’s the end of February 2025. End of the short month that felt kind of long. Not that many tours but the month got rescued by a couple of tours by the end. I don’t have a tour this weekend. I got an email yesterday asking for a tour for today (very short noticed). I…

Week 7 (2025) – Sad Days but Great Valentine’s – No More San Diego Reader – Influencer And Tour Guide Keeps Growing
What a wild and sad Monday I had. It started with a classic tour with two lovely people from Northern California. Both school teachers. Both spoke Spanglish.

Week 4 (2025) – Long January – Fuckiness but Financially Fine
It’s still January. What a long January. It’s been a good January so far. A lot of work. It was a busy week. A crazy week. After the hospital craze, I had a couple tours. One on Friday, it went wild. One on Saturday, it went wild. I have to do the social media video…

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…

Week 2 (2025) – Of Sadness and Love -Ensenada Adventure Business Venture
I feel empty. Sort of incomplete. Like I lost a limb. An extension of myself. My girlfriend broke up with me. Or I broke up with her. I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend for 2025. Not beyond that. Another year. The first one went fast. I love being with her. She…

So much anger. Fucking Calimax on Calle Segunda. That’s all I wrote before having breakfast. Sometimes I have anger issues.

It didn’t rain one single day we were in Seattle. It drizzled one morning but we were snoozing. We slept until late and still manage to squeeze so many things in our Seattle visit. It went great. I’ve been video blogging it on all my medias. It barely gets views. But that’s okay. I like…

I was walking in downtown Tijuana yesterday with my girlfriend when from behind me I heard: “Oh! It’s Matingas!” I turned around after hearing my name. It was an older gentleman I didn’t recognize.

I’m on TikTok live. That’s what I was doing when I started this blog. It went poorly. I got distracted and didn’t write what I wanted to write. I just went on TikTok live and talked to myself for a bit. Two people stayed for a while and asked about celebrities, and I showed them…
