Mid-April 2023: KARma Quit my Job – Bachelor Party Tours – Zona Norte for the First Time in 4 Years

Tijuana I love you, but you are bringing me down. Tijuana I love you… but you are bringing me down. I feel so stuck and alone. With nowhere to go but to the same place. And that same place is never the same. Tijuana is never the same. I leave for a weekend and nothing…

I’m doing nothing but waiting and I hate it. It was a busy weekend of work training and I liked it. I rather be busy. I’m waiting on the e-mail with the job offer. Or the job rejection. They paid me to drive up to LA, they paid for my hotel, and they paid me…
