  • Week 41 (2025) – Real Influencer Oxymoron – Diane Keaton Another RIP – Not Much 2025, Not Much Progress

    My Instagram following inches towards 12k. I woke up to a lot of people adding me. It’s normal now. Same on TikTok. It’s inching towards my favorite number. 22.5k. Twenty-two and a half is my favorite number. I don’t think that number of followers is that amazing. But it is. And it’s only going to…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Paparazzi Daze / Celebrity Encounters – Corona is Over? – Buy Buy BUY My Book(s)

    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…

  • 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.…

  • 27 Weeks, 3 Days: Drinking El Segundo – Jamming with Hudson – Driving Donatella Far

    27 Weeks, 3 Days. More than half a year. It still feels so weird. It still feels like I’m going to see her on some holiday break. It still makes me cry when I realize I’m not going too. I didn’t do much yesterday. I’m not doing much today. I don’t like it when I…

  • 12 Weeks, 3 Days: Mexico City/Querétaro Vacation Next Month – Lovely Suicidal Thoughts – Financial Woes

    12 Weeks, 3 Days. I just bought a ticket to Mexico City from May 22nd to June 4th. Before and after buying it, I was stressing out over financial concerns. I still fucking bought it. $150 was the total. I need tacos before I continue. I need to write for profit instead of writing to…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 100s of Celebrities Posted as the Blog Nears the End – Unreleased: Paparazzi Pay Stubs – CTM: Jason Segel

    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…

  • Don’t Be An Asshole – December is Coming, Last Month of Blogging – Emmy Rossum (and Adam Duritz)

    Don’t be an asshole. That’s the life lesson from Dr. John Kitchin, aka, the Slomo dude that rollerblades along the boardwalk at Pacific Beach. Great reporting by the New York Times. I’ve seen the dude multiple times. I’ve heard the rumors that he can’t see faces and that he has a nice house by the…

    Uhh… I should uhh… Write something. You know. For work. I haven’t done that since the last thing that got published. And I did one photo gig. And one special edition. I guess that’s enough. I have three to work on in the hopper. And character stories that come and go. I should write something.…

  • 250 Days Together Come to an End: Last Week Together – NFL, Vacation Pictures, Much Work – Dreams of Paris Hilton

    SWOOP! Big swoop! Back to Tijuana and real life. Woke up to a million notifications after dreaming about Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky. They were running away from the paparazzi at LAX. I was just there returning for a flight but I also had my camera. So I started shooting her (Paris, Nicky who…

  • Oaxaca in 6 Hours – Horrible Phone Word Vomit -I Started a Book

    There is a dude singing about god in the trolley. He has headphones on. He just yelp completely out of tune “Cristo Salvador.” Now he is murmuring still out of tune “quédese señor,” repeatedly. I’m going to try to ignore him. Line. I need a music device and headphones. Haven’t gotten lost in my music…

    Alright, dude, you can do this! My girlfriend said she was going to work for this half week that we have left before OAXACA! She lied. She woke up early this morning and said, “I don’t want to go.” Or something like that. It was 4 am. I didn’t take notes. Point is, she decided…

  • Gardening 101: Killing my Mint Plant – Material Luckily Gathered – Not My Cover: Burt Reynolds (Ryan Reynolds Instead)

    I beat the fuck out of my mint plant… I hope it recovers. It already looks like it is recovering. The expensive soil I bought is much better than the shitty soil that I got in Mexico. The basil plant also looks much nicer. It looks like a little basil tree. The leaves are short…

  • Sports Sunday and My Shitty NFL Fantasy Team – Weird 3 Bedroom Apartment in Playas for $560 – CTM: Anna Kendrick

    Morning! Monday. September 18th. I skipped Sunday because I felt like it. I was busy watching sports. I’m trying to find the chart which shows me which days I have skipped in the year but I can’t find it. It’s been less than a dozen though. I think yesterday was skip #10. But in trying…
