I Didn’t Do Any of The Work I Said I Was Going To Do – Jocelyn Wildenstein (Cat Lady)
I didn’t do any work last week. Well… ok. I did some. But for the most part, I WAS CELEBRATING. My first cover on the Reader came out last week and it’s about beer. And since I love beer. I drank beer a lot. Click on the image to read: This is my second cover…

Front Page Because of Tacos – Redditing All Day – Stevie Wonder
It was a good week. I made it to the front page of Reddit on Thursday because I posted a picture of tacos. Reddit karma went from 6,000+ to almost 13,000. I received more than 250 messages and the thread has over 1,500 comments. I am not sure how I feel about my Reddit success.…

It Smells Like Summer – Stopping the Party, Getting To Work – George Clooney
The Tijuana party lifestyle can easily absorb you. It’s so cheap to eat and drink that whenever I have some cash in the bank I feel entitled to not work and just party. It goes against my goals for the year, since I want to be working more and making much more money, but it’s…

Drinking Early, Waking Up Earlier – Bachelor Party Tour – Angelina Jolie & Cyndi Lauper
Last week was pretty much out of control. Fortunately I made some money through Tijuana Adventure (and also had a blast). I am planning a lot of changes for Tijuana Adventure and it involves more and more writing. That website receives much more traffic than my blog and I haven’t posted anything in a long…

Casino Money = Fun Weekend – Jamie Chung
Work more work and more work is still my plan. I started to get sick again last Tuesday, I am still somewhat sick today. So it’s been a week of congested nose and coughing mucus. It doesn’t affect me much, I feel great and I went out partying on the weekend, woke up each time…

April Looks Promising – Work & Money – Brad Pitt
I feel like a senior in college the night before he has to turn in his last thesis. Except this time I’m not turning in 50+ pages of random liberal crap like I used to spout for my Resolution of Conflicts minor… I wished I saved my senior theses, I bet they were horrendous. I…

From Hopeless to Hopeful – Still Broke – Will Arnett
I’m an emo drama queen and I’m sorry. Last week I did something I felt like doing before, but always held off. I posted in my blog in another day that wasn’t Monday. Most the time I want to post in the middle of the week is just because I had a thought that was…

I’m Giving Up For Now – Broken Spirit – This is Not Magic (It’s Dikembe)
Surprise! I’m not posting on a Monday. Surprise!: I’m updating this post and I also never do that. I’m a drama queen. Things turned out to be way better than I originally assumed. Still a lot of stress and drama, but I’m not that fucked or I’m not that horrible as I thought! GO ME! (Now…

Working for Nothing – Partying with No Money – Nina Dobrev and her In & Out
I’m still broke and I didn’t even pay the rent in full. I don’t get paid until the weekend and I am not sure how much I am getting. Because I am broke, I WORKED MY ASS OFF this past week. But it was for nothing. Editors have me on hold and my hopes lessen…

Broke, But Picking Up The Pieces – HoC is Shaking – Nobody Loves Mila Kunis
February was not a good month. I spent a good a bit over two weeks horribly sick, barely working and not going out. I spend a bunch of money in medicine, doctor consultation, homeopathic doctor (what a joke), and a dentist. I got lucky and got paid more than I thought for one article, but…

Looking for a Job – Netflix – Phoebe Price
I got kinda lucky at work this past week. Because of being sick, I barely worked. Also, they rejected two stories :( sad face. So I was worried I had no money coming in and I was on the verge of broke, spending a lot of money in doctors and dentists. I ended up doing…

Still Sick, Still Sober and Now Depressed – Selena Gomez
I was sick all week. It was fucking horrible. I’m still sick right now, but nothing compared to how I felt. Monday was shit. Tuesday was shit and I couldn’t sleep that I wrote this: I can’t sleep. I feel like I am dying. I have really sharp stomach pains and I am coughing like a…

First Published Feature Story – More Tj Adventures – Camilla Belle & Minka Kelly
There wasn’t much action this week, just a bunch of cold weather. Monday I barely remember. I lost at the casino to prove my lucky streak was over, so I forgot about that day. Tuesday I know I didn’t go out and barely worked. Wednesday I finally got published on a story I sent on…

Tijuana Adventures are Going to Kill me, Star Wars, Harrison Ford.
I had an unproductive week, yet it was awesome. I managed to get one story published about Dia de Reyes after getting two rejections in a row. The stories that got rejected took me way longer to work on, the one that got published was an anecdote of how Mexican I am. I got paid…

Awesome New Years, Endless Sunday, Carrot Top
I usually have a shitty time during New Year’s. Not this year. My brother hosted a dinner party in his house with food by his father-in-law, it was amazing. That party disheveled before midnight, which was excellent because I had planned to take pictures of the fireworks from my rooftop. Here are a couple pics:…

Happy/Sad Week – Border Matters – Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal
On Tuesday I woke up to great news that my article got accepted as a feature story (not yet published, but already paid). That night, friends from San Diego came over to do a photoshoot of Tropics bar. On Thursday a friend from my hometown arrived to Tijuana. Friday I woke up sad because my…

Tour Advertisements – Subbing as a Bass Player for SKOL – Salma Hayek
I was supposed to have a beer tour on Saturday, but it ended up getting canceled. The San Diego Reader not only announced my tours, but it also got printed in the magazine. This is my chance to make TijuanaAdvenrture grow and to further my career as a writer. -Blurry picture by my roommate. I…

Cold is Gone – Tijuana Reader Adventure – Beyonce, Katherine McPhee, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Lautner
This post is going to be short on words but with a lot of pictures. Last week, I didn’t get much done because I was still hibernating. I managed to brave the cold for a limited time and worked on an article that got published: A baby was born on the San Ysidro/Tijuana border. But for the…

Two Years of Cold Showers, Two Years with the SD Reader – Jane Krakowski
And just like that…. glorious summer days abruptly ended and the cold got here. Given, it is not as cold as it was when I lived in Minnesota, but it is fucking cold for California. The worst part about it is that I DO NOT HAVE HOT WATER. I have been showering with cold water…

October Starts The Right Way – Shit Tons of Pictures of Demi Lovato and Look! COLOR!
October started the right way. I got published three times already and it’s only the 5th. I am also writing this on early afternoon on a Monday instead of my drunken ramble at midnight of how things are going. Also, instead of keeping it simple and choosing a celebrity that I only saw once or twice,…

Mehh Tolerance Break Sort of Fail – I am taller than Batman! Christian Bale
My tolerance break wasn’t much of a break. I didn’t really stop smoking, I did however slowed it down a lot and did go a couple of days without smoking at all. I noticed a few differences, both positive and negative, but more than anything, negative. Positive things: I was a tad more productive. I…

Tolerance Break Cuz I am Broke – James Franco Thinks I am Awesome – Chapter 19 and non-sense
Summer is over, though the weather doesn’t show it. It’s been hot as fuck. And it is time to slow down my vices. There is nothing that I enjoy more than great food, coffee, beer (whisky) and marihuana. But all those things besides being awesome, are expensive and make me lazy. At least I got…
