An Unhealthy Obsession with Tijuana – Not Sure if Inspired or Insane – Cover in my Mind and Covers Past
There she is again. Crazy meth head lady. Going car to car knocking on the driver’s window asking for money in an aggressive manner. How she survives. I have no idea. She probably gets twenty pesos in an hour or two. Then she is gone. Probably for more meth. She will appear again sometime. Do…

Never Met Rafa Saavedra – TJ Times and Existence – Tap Tuesday Helps to Ponder Writer’s Block
I don’t know much about Rafa Saavedra except what I’ve heard from people and the quotes that float around in la city. I’ve written snippets of his work here and there. I’m reading some right now.

It’s so impossible to get out of the new bed. Especially when not truly inspired to work. I always want to send stuff that I didn’t pitch. The winds are fucking crazy. My plants are shuffling like crazy. I’m not sure if the basil plant is going to survive. I’m so fucking sore. My left…

It’s NFL Sunday. I’m an idiot and I’ve been waiting for this. Again, I’m last in my Fantasy league. And this round is no different. I’m going to lose the week. At least it seems like I won’t be the worst one of them all. It still does me no good. I had messages from…

I treated Thursday like Friday. I thought it was Friday since early morning. It felt like Friday. I even told Los Compadres to have a good weekend! Those are the guys that make that super great shrimp enchilado tacos. It was not Friday. I realized it as I was walking away. I guess telling someone…
