  • Week 49 (2025) – Bugonia and Back to the Movie Theater Review – NYC Tips – End the Year and Social Media Gig

    I’m going to the movies for the first time in almost a decade. My girlfriend likes to go to the movie theater. I don’t. We’ve been dating for two plus years. And this is my first time going with her. The last movie I saw in the theaters was Deadpool. Or The Great Wall with…

  • Week 35 (2025) – Second Anniversary – The Critic – September is Here!

    This last week went by fast. And I don’t even remember what I did. I didn’t have a tour. I wasn’t that busy… but it went fast. I wrote this blog. I wrote my newsletter over at TijuanaAdventure.com, posted a couple of videos, went bowling, hung out with my friend’s dad, who is also a…

  • Week 30 (2025) – TJ News Food and Drink Review (Innato and Club Ocampo)- Toros de Tijuana Tours – Store Fantasy, Books, and Bookings

    I don’t have any upcoming tours. A few emails requesting September or October… but nothing for August. Although I don’t have tours, I still have a lot of work to do. The Tijuana Newsletter is a self-proclaimed success. I enjoy writing it. It gives me an outlet to voice my opinion the way I want.…

  • Week 28 (2025) – Changed Website and New About Me – San Diego Date Day – Tijuana Adventure Newsletters

    I changed my website. I changed my attitude. How does it look? Let me know. The start of July was slow. Well… it started with a great tour that paid me double, but then it slowed down. It was my girlfriend’s birthday, and I did nothing but make sure she was happy. And then I…

  • Letter to Mom – Farewell 2020 and Hi To The Uncertain 2021 – Flying to Texas

    Hi Mom, What a shit year. You would have hated it. Even though Trump is voted out and you would have loved that… it would have been a weird and confusing year. You hate hospitals. If your last year was this year… you would have hated it more. I miss you like crazy. That’s a…

  • X-Mas Set and Flying Around – Pay What You Can or Texas Time – Bye-Bye Fantasy Football and Books

    I woke up to the sounds of Transformers fucking outside my window. There are issues with the water pipes and drainage on my street. Trucks and other equipment are making a shit ton of mechanical sounds and rock/cement breaking. It sounds like Transformers fucking. I have been doing fucking nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. I have…

  • Whole Lot of Nothing and Everything – Cover Picture Out Today (Cover Love Story Out Soon) – NFL Fantasy Güiching Auer

    I sold one book all of November. And it wasn’t even my new book, it was the Tijuana Adventure book. You can buy that HERE. Or my new book, here! The Amazon rating for my books is the lowest it has ever been. Neither of them are on the top #100 of their category. How…

  • No Line, Easy Gig – Back to Book Promoting – NFL Fantasy en Español (Semana 7)

    This is dumb. This year. This life. That’s how it feels. Probably because I lost in my NFL fantasy game and my parlay. Probably because I’m not sure where to go next. It feels like that way too often. I have two somewhat easy photo gigs. One is super simple. Go to multiple spots, take…

  • The Final Point, Astro Photos in La Baja – Five-Star Reviews on Paparazzi Daze – Not Many Book Sales…

    I applied for a job this morning. I am not certain if it’s for me, but it might be. A few people ask me to do a podcast. It’s a podcast related type of job. If I get it, it will be a new life. It’s a serious job. And one that would benefit my…

  • My Fan Died, Need Thousands More – Paperback and Digital Download Available – Buy the Book!

    My best and only fan died this morning. I woke up early to the smell of something burning. I drunkenly kicked the fan before going to bed. That kick might have killed the engine. The fan gets kicked around often and it’s filthy with cat hair. Maybe that also did it. It’s hot in my…

  • Paparazzi Daze Book Comes Out in a Week!!! – September is almost over – NFL Fantasy Football Season 3!

    Ugh… Amazon is taking forever. I’m trying to upload the latest cover design for my book but it’s not going through. Just stays in “processing your files…” I need to update the manuscript as well… The latest revision is being done by the sensei master himself, Chad. His book is also coming out soon! And…

    IT HAS BEEN DONE!!! My book about my paparazzi times is complete (sort of). This is not the official cover but one done by a friend of mine: The official cover will be similar, but different font and other different details. The back cover needs to be designed as well… and I’m not sure what…

  • 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. 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…

  • 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, 5 (6) Days: First Blog of the Year, First Cover of the Year, and First Story Sent – Starting 2020 Alright – Almost a Full Year of Being Motherless

    49 Weeks, 5 Days. I did nothing for NYEs and that’s exactly what I wanted. I would actually not mind going partying or anything though I don’t care about celebrating NYEs. I was just tired. And I don’t feel like I deserve a party. I party almost every day… 2019 deserves a big fuck you.…

  • 44 Weeks, 3 Days: Past and Future Book to Read and Write – Life of a Paletero – NFL de Fantasía Semana 12

    44 Weeks, 2 Days. I’m typing this on Monday though I plan to publish on Tuesday. Life has slowed down… or so it feels. It’s Thanksgiving week which means a lot of people are not working. And my office seems to be one of them. I have no work. I have no work until mid-December.…

  • 11 Weeks, 4 Days: Juanster in Tijuana, Tequila, Sexo y no Marihuana – FB Memories – LiLo Because Why Not

    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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

    4:11 am and I’m at my desk. I woke up at 3:33 am and I tried to go back to bed but couldn’t. I have a sore throat and I’m awake! Yay! This fucking schedule is killing me. And I keep falling for it. Over. And over. And over again. Yep. I wake up super…

  • Girlfriend Leaves Tonight – I’m A Busy Bee For the Next Weeks – CTM: Katy Perry & Russell Brand

    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. That’s already this week and that magazine already printed. Shit. Then perfect for right after Halloween? It’s not meant…
