Week 31 (2025) – McMorris Burger Viral Success – 10k Followers on Insta, 20k on TikTok – I eat, I drink, I write, I am
At the beginning of last month, I was pretty depressed. A mixture of birthdays, sadness, life going by, and also finances. It seems like I do great, then the month ends, I gotta pay my bills and more… and it’s like I didn’t make any money. I drink too much and eat outside too often.…

Late August 2023: Tinder 1500 Pesos Drama – Tours and Photoshoots – Muay Thai Training
Typical of me. I’m waiting for the cover to drop. All the beers in hell is getting published next week. I already got paid. I already spent the money. And I’m just waiting for it. Instead of writing more. I have several articles in mind. The ideas are written on my whiteboard. I do nothing.…

Romantic Ensenada Getaway – Cover Shoots, Tons of Shoots – New Website (Still Under Construction)
I did an awesome tennis photo shoot yesterday with a tennis professional and professor. My friend Yesenia took some of me playing tennis as she fervently gazed at the tennis pro. Here are some shots she took of me on my main Instagram: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Matingas (@matingas_) The…

July is Gone – All Instagram, Social Media Distortion – Photoshoots for Money Taco Paparazzo
July is suddenly gone. I don’t know what the fuck happened to me. I feel like a mammoth stuck in tar. I feel like I should be big and roaming around. Alas, I am not. I’m stuck in the same space letting time go by. I had one great Saturday. That was this last Saturday.…

I’m Fucking 35, Camping Adventure Time – Matingas the Character – Kim Shantal
This new wordpress layout still sucks. Perhaps that’s the reason I haven’t felt like writing anything here. Perhaps is because I’ve been busy as fuck (or so it feels, but then I realize I’m not). Perhaps I don’t have much to write… I’m fucking 35 now. I feel old as shit. Bahahaha! For a while,…

6.5% of the Dream on Patreon – Day Drinking for a Week – Droning the City
Woo!!! I was playing Dota 2 last night with my friends Edu and Sanchez and I received an email. Emails late on a Sunday night are rare and they usually mean crap. It wasn’t crap. I got a new Patron! I just checked my Patreon managing site and he isn’t even new! He was one…

Do Nothing and Write – IG Book Giveaway – New Cover Picture (and some Text), Will Work in my own Covers
I am doing nothing. I didn’t sell any books through Amazon yesterday. None have been sold today. Two were sold two days ago (one Kindle, one Paperback). Three were sold the day before that (all Kindle). That’s about it for March… 15 books sold and it’s almost half the month. I’m giving up. I am…

26 Weeks, 5 Days: Bracketed and Blended Photography – Starting to Shoot for Getty (iStock)- LA Weekend Coming Up
26 weeks, 5 days. Boy! Is hot out. It feels like I’ve been working non-stop. Last time I posted was my last break. I slept all of that Saturday. It felt like a waste of a day. But I rested. Sunday I went to Valle de Guadalupe to get some fancy dining on at Deckman’s…

10 Weeks, 3 Days: Still Miss Her, Still Sucks – There Are Good Days (and Tons of Work) – Addicted to Tetris 99 (and one victory!)
I woke up at 4:35 a.m. to the sounds of “Estos Celos” by Vincente Fernández. It was playing loudly from a car idling on the red light on the corner of my building. That’s my old roommate’s go to song in karaoke. His Spanish gets worse as time goes by. Then it felt heavy. My…

February: Slow Short Cold Month – Model, Cover, and Other Photography – Irish Visit, Xolos Game, and Work Ahead
February was a slow short month. I didn’t do nearly as much work as I should have. And I’ve been sick for the past three days. Still sick right now. My nose and lips are so fucking dry. My head still hurts a bit. And I get cough attacks. It’s near the end of it…

Talking Nerdy Music with Bobby at Mamut – Photo Gig Today with Chad – The End of the Blogging Year is Near
I saw Bobby again yesterday. We talked about music and other nerdy things. It reminded me how disconnected I’ve been from the scene. Luis. The guy from Los Yepa Yepa walked by. I always see him carrying instruments. On their way to rehearse. Young spirit with a young band having fun. I miss it. Not…

Burger Porn Preview, Last One Today! – Time to Hang Out with “El Brallan” – North Dakota Has Beef With Me (Student Loans)
Sorry Bryan. I fell asleep. Bryan’s flight got delayed. I didn’t know how delayed but I assumed it was going to be after midnight. Right before midnight, I couldn’t help it and I fell asleep on the couch holding my phone around my head in case Bryan calls that he got there. I didn’t hear…

More Than 500 Likes on a Picture of Chicken – Gorditas Doña Toña, Yet Another Place I Could Review – Not Skipping This Sunday
Day two of the street smelling like shit because the sewers are open. The shit smell filters into the apartment and into my nose. “It’s the weekend, let the shit run free!” That should be the CESPT’s slogan (the water commission). Who knows how long it will take for them to fix it. But for…

No Glamping but Mazunte, Oaxaca Soon – Astrophoto Workshop and Other Dreams – Shrimp/Octopus Tacos, Oysters, and Poke Delivery by Ancla Roja
Waking up at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning sucks. It’s 9:41 a.m. and time has been still for those three hours. Coffee. TV. Internet. Coffee. Nothing else. Saturdays. You are not supposed to work. My girlfriend is at work. I don’t have much to do. The dude I want to interview is not there…

Mexico to the Semis and This is a Gross Post – Octopus Tacos and Mamut Beers – Almost Done With Work (word!)
Yay! I’m 80% done with the article. Or so it feels. Of course, I’m not happy with it. But I’m never happy with any of my articles. My girlfriend read the very rough draft and she likes it. The article still has a lot of parts that just read EXPAND or FIX THIS PART or…

Confederations Cup Mornings – From Sushi to Pesto Pasta and a Shitty Movie – Parents
Soccer soccer soccer! Did you guys watch that Mexico vs New Zealand yesterday?! Circus circus circus! What a fucking shit show. It was as if a cocky teenager was about to play FIFA (or insert soccer game here) against a kid that has barely played a video game in their life. The teenager, full of…

My Instagram Boyfriend (Man Date) – Shooting with Housewrecker – A Day In The Border City and a Long Photography Rant
Bryan beware. I’m going to talk a bunch about photography in this post. Amateurs beware. It’s going to be a lot of ranting about photography and you won’t learn much because I’m just an okay photographer. Alright. Let’s get to it. Bam! Album starts with pictures of food. There is a reason for that. I’m…

Meeting the Housewrecker – Babe Got Drunk – And Gallos Won
I went to have brunch with my babe. Yep. I call her babe most of the time. It came natural. I never really called anyone babe since my girlfriend in college. It’s a simple shitty horrible couple nickname. But that’s what came natural. So she’s my babe. We went to Teléfonica Gastro Park. We were…
