  • The Adventures of Dani and Dani – A Childhood Friend and Memories – Random Picture of Billy Crystal

    Alright. Back at it. Fucking Monday. Yep. I skipped yesterday! I have guests! And I had to entertain! Guests are still here. One snoozes on the couch, the other in my roommate’s bedroom (sorry roommie). They are on their way to California to do a seasonal job. A job that I want to do. You…

  • Meeting Little Boy and Unexpected Adventures – Finally Inspired…? – Commercial Photography Talk

    My body is sore as if I had worked out. I didn’t. I just walked a lot under the hot sun it what has been one of the hottest days all year. And only did morning push-ups but didn’t come close to 100 (I think I did 40). And it feels good. Took pictures all…

  • Pocho Millenial Bukowski – Oysters, Tacos, Beers… a Lot of Beers – Look at me Go!

    David the neighbor is here. He left his apartment for a job interview and locked himself out. I threw him the keys to the apartment and now he hangs out on the couch internetting. We’re going to get tacos de birria in a while. He interrupted me when I was about to make some breakfast… I…

  • 121 Days and Counting – 150,000 Words of Epic Nothing – Bizarre Cheap Burger & Beer Town

    “We haven’t been in this bar for a while,” said my girlfriend last night…. Yep. It feels like it has been years… It’s been 121 days since we met. And consequentially, fallen in love, and moved in together. That’s like 4 months. 1/3 of the year. I’m still confused on how it happened. I feel…

  • Buda Burgers and the Elusive Nelson Red Star – In Search of Grunions – In Need of Lightroom

    I had weird dreams. So I woke up feeling weird. I have one photo mission that I’m sort of nervous about, though nothing happens if I don’t get it. Grunion run. There’s an upcoming cover story about it. Grunions are small fish that come to shore at midnight to reproduce on a new moon or…

  • Work Drama, TJ Adventure Day Tour, and First Concert of the Year – Delta Sleep (Math Rock) Were Amazing – Now, More Concerts and Camping

    It’s been a weird morning already and it’s not even 8 am. I got a call from a girl I barely know through Facebook messenger. She told me she was outside my apartment building and wanted to get in. WEIRD. Here’s the thing… apparently, she was getting a ride home, but her ride crashed the…

  • 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…

  • Vivid Nightmares Make for An Odd Morning (Reason Enough to Skip the Blog) – Ghetto Karaoke Party – Craft Beer Talk and Tijuana Adventure Update

    I skipped my blog yesterday. I woke up feeling weird, sad, and shitty. I had very intense, vibrant, weird, scary dreams. The only one I remember with somewhat of a detail. There was a shooting in some bar, a lot of people died, I watched hidden under a table. Then the guys… guys? I don’t…

  • Shit Post #297… Close to 300! – SD Photo Mission Complete and Getting Hit On By a Gay Black Guy – Beer Reviews Don’t Attract Visitors

    The number of visitors on my blog are down. It’s not like I care much. I will continue to word vomit until something makes me stop. I wonder when that will be. I’m trying to reach the end of the year word vomiting daily and then see how I feel (it’s been less than a…

  • My Awesome Girlfriend Cooks Awesomely (and Also Pounds Beers) – Santuario New Brewery Review – Rejecting a Contract And Feeling Like a Douche About It

    My girlfriend cooked dinner while I did office type work. The desk has always been like my office… but now with the whiteboard above me, it feels more real. I like it. It shows me clearly what I have to do. My schedule has always been pretty open to anything. With a couple of dates…

  • Drunken Grinch Birthday – Taco Issue is Out! Tons of Taco Pictures! – Letters About My Massage Article

    Of course I was a Grinch for my birthday. My mom told me not to grinch it. I grinched it. I mean… it was a fucking Tuesday. What did you expect? My birthday celebration was supposedly going to be Tacotopia on Saturday. But I had to work that weekend and I’m happy I did. Money…

  • Whiteboard Full of Missions – Early Hospital Photo Work (and Much More Work) – Birthday Depressed Word Vomit

    My girlfriend woke me up and surprised me with a cake and four lit candles. How cute. But I didn’t eat cake for breakfast. And those candles were the fuckers that light up by themselves after blowing on them. It looks delicious. I want some later on when I’m drunk and wanting some sweets. She…

  • Skipped My Blog For Two Days Because Work and Lazy – Birthday Boy Got To Work – B.J. Novak in Tijuana (Bonus: Mindy Kaling)

    I skipped my blog for two days. That’s the first time that I skipped two days in the same week. I skipped Friday (though I wrote it on Friday and published on Saturday morning). That makes it a total of 10 skips (I believe… let’s say 10). Saturday was understandably way busier than Friday (for…

  • Girlfriend Wakes Me Up And I Tell Her The Shittiest Joke – Shooting the Adventures of K-Wamo and Chris – Hipster Pictures with a 1960’s Seagull TLR Medium Format Film Camera

    I swear that my girlfriend’s favorite activity is to not let me sleep. She woke up at around 5 a.m. stressed because she is worried she is going to get fired. And bugged me. Didn’t let me sleep. The shittiest joke in the world occurred to me. She told me she couldn’t sleep because of…

  • Time Wasting Monday – Netflix, Rain, Cold, And Drunk – Telling Shitty Jokes to Bradley Cooper

    A gallon of coffee and pizza for breakfast. It seems like I drink coffee more and more for less of the effect. It feels like Sunday. Mostly because I “worked” on Saturday. And by worked, I mean I partied. But hey. I got paid for it so yes, it is work. I have another work/party…

  • Whores for Four and a Kid’s Birthday Party – Multiple Service Provider – Canelo vs Chavez and Melt-Banana!

    My life goes all crazy directions. One moment I’m at a kid’s birthday party, the next I’m in a brothel/strip club. My brother and his wife decided to have my little nephew’s party in a park in the middle of a fancy neighborhood far in Tijuana. Well… far for me. But it wasn’t really that…

  • My Word Vomit is Like Pringles – Some Bald Gringo Mother Fucker Threatened me – Business Cards, Zelda, and Guitar

    Alright! Let’s do this! I don’t really have nothing to say and it’s very gray outside. But I know once I start, I can’t stop. My word vomit is like Pringles. Once I pop, I can’t stop. Here’s an unrelated baby hippo. I’ve been browsing Imgur as much as Reddit lately. They are very similar…

  • Birthday and Baby – Full of San Diego Tacos and A Chamoy Beer – 3 out of 4 Missions Accomplished

    An old prostitute with a sculpted fake body wearing a tiny purple dress strolls Zona Norte at 7:35 am. I was sitting in the car with my brother on my way to the border when I noticed her. The strip clubs had their doors wide open, with bouncers ready at the door but no customers.…

  • I Met Jesus at Teléfonica – New Tijuana Museum (pics) – Valle Glamping Tonight

    Yesterday was full of twists and surprises. Girlfriend left early to go to work. I did the daily routine of word vomiting. At around noon I headed to the new Tijuana museum with my camera and the borrowed super wide angle lens. I bumped into Josh and his friend Marc right away. Haydee and Sylvia were…

    Yesterday didn’t go quite as I expected. After having the expensive breakfast and coffee, I went to search for the owner of a restaurant that I needed to shoot. It was too early to find him. So I walked around Coronado for a while catching Pokémon waiting for the dude to arrive. Who knew rich…

  • Broken Gear – High School Drawings – Work, Write, Pictures!

    This is one of the most painful things I’ve seen in a while. That’s not my gear. It belongs to Ryan Fu who amazingly still works as a paparazzi. He is one of the few that keeps at it. We rarely shot together, but I hung out with him at some pap parties. He is…

  • She Missed Her Flight – I Did Nothing and Lost My Shit Sunglasses – Thwarted Plans, Now What?

    Well… Nothing went like planned. We went to try a new place by Pasaje Gomez that serves burgers and craft beer. She got a portobello burger, and I got the meat one with ham and bacon (and it was supposed to be a double, but I rather have just the single). They were both really…

  • My Life in Magazines (Again) – I Walked Shit Tons – And Tons and Tons and Tons of Pictures

    I had to edit yesterday’s post because posting on iPad sucks. I looked at the text and it looked all fucky. Dislike. Yesterday after Krakatoa cafe and breakfast sandwich, and abandoning the blog, the day was pretty fantastic. I did shit tons of walking. Probably like 8 miles of walking or more. Pokémon Go does…

  • Click Bait Title Work – Sorry, We Did Not Break Up – In San Diego Wasting My Day

    Well… Starting my day already in bad shape. I got on the wrong bus, sort of knew it and still did it. Now I am waiting for the trolley on Iris Station, typing on my iPad. It smells strongly of a cheap hot dog. The remnants of a 7-eleven big bite are nearby. The garbage…
