  • Week 1 (2025) – Houston Brewery Reviews and Family Xmas Love – Year Starts with a ton of Tours

    It’s the first Monday of the year. I said I would write every Monday. The year started heavy with work. Four tours in a row. I’ve never done four tours in a row… However, I’ve done tours for three or four days straight (bachelor parties). People are hitting me up for bachelor parties this year.…

  • December 2023: Mexicali Beer Fest (Photo Album) – SD Mag Published – No Real Job, Just a Lot of Work for 2024

    AHH!! It’s December already! I’ve been wanting to write my blog since weeks ago, yet I didn’t. I’ve been wanting to write to my tía in Houston since September, yet I haven’t. I’m leaving to Houston soon! December is here! I miraculously made it all work! I don’t like using the word miraculously or using…

  • Goth Kids Photoshoot and Puppies – Nett Nett Radio and Space – Upcoming Eater Contributor

    Pain fucking Mondays. But I feel alright. I cleaned the cats litter box. That was disgusting. Because I’m a lazy POS, I let it accumulate. Not the shit… the empty litter bags. There were over a dozen empty litter bags piled up. I crushed them all and put them inside one litter bag so I…

  • 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…

  • 11 Weeks, 2 Days: Busy Afterlife – Great Show at Mous Tache (PLEASURES) – Brunch of Photo Shoot (and Many More to Come)

    11 weeks, 2 days have gone by. It still feels like if I went out to college or just not living near my mom like I did for a long time. Then after 3 or 4 months of not seeing her. I would get home. That comfort of home. That’s gone forever. And that’s why…

  • End of November: Not the Ideal Way To End The Year – Waste of a Month, 2019 is Near – Venting (It’s Really Over With Bumble Girl Now)

    I was wrong. I thought we were going to end up as friends. She is great. She has a big heart. She’s good towards everyone. After the things she said almost two weeks ago, it should have ended there. She said nothing but friends. That’s where I should have stopped. But we kept talking. And…

  • The Unimpressive Last Word Vomit – Top 5 Music Influences of ALL TIME – THANKS FOR PLAYING…!!!

    Two really weird things happened last night: I cooked in my house instead of going out to eat. I did some shitty linguini with ground beef, mushrooms, and… Ragu. But hey… I don’t get to choose a lot of good ingredients from my vicinity… I didn’t go out to Nelson or to drink in general.…

  • A Myriad of Indecision – Early Drinking with Santa for Cover – The Finish Line is Near

    Life is a myriad of indecision and self-doubt. That is why people opt to believe in god(s). Life is much easier when higher powers decide for you. If you succeed, it was god’s plan. If you fail, it was gods’ plan. Nothing really matters. Metallica. The end of the blog is near. Mom was supposed to…

    Well….!!! That was a lot of day drinking with el Pinche Brallan. He got here with a 12 pack of Indio beer. I got a shrimp cocktail and mixed two beers in. That was breakfast. We watched Rick & Morty, but didn’t pay attention, and just started catching up. He’s been gone three months. It’s…

  • Amazing Weekend of Great Food, Drinks, Friends, Pictures, and Music – Beef Wellington from Caesar’s and New Teléfonica Review – Zigtebra and Lightworks Leave Much Love Behind (and They Are The Celebrity This Monday)

    It was a great weekend. On the top 10 of weekends of the year or so. That would be an interesting challenge to remember. Whenever friends join in to come and drink and do merry. It’s a great time. And friends visit from all over. But first. Some usual word vomit. Yep. I skipped Sunday’s…

  • Zigtebra and Lightworks Double Show at Mous Tache!!! – Party Time with Friends from El Paso and Chicago – Weekend Looks Promising as Fuck

    Woo! Friday pay day! And I got paid a bit more than I was excepting! Now, this should be my pay every two weeks and I’ll be happy. And it’s not enough. I wouldn’t be able to live in San Diego with this paycheck. But it is good in Tijuana and a good paycheck to…

    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…

  • Pictures of Food Exclusive to Tijuana Adventure – Fishy Grunion Hunt Tonight – Friday Night of a Boring Couple

    Saturday doesn’t feel like a Saturday when every day is a Saturday. My computer was running extra slow this morning. My brain is running slow as well. Before my girl got off from work, I went to buy her an iPhone protector yesterday. I also got her a SIM card so she can actually use…

  • Guilt Trip Feels – Stop Making Sense! – Damian, The Guitarist Space Cowboy

    “I should quit this (the blog),” I say to myself pretty often. But instead, I wake up fucking early and start typing non-sense. Guilt trip. I feel guilty for having a guilt trip about being guilty. Guilty is a funny word to say. I wrote King Creep as if it was my original idea. Alas,…

  • 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…

  • Photography is All I Want To Do – Writing is What I Should Do – Music is What I Studied

    I’ve spent my whole morning editing photos. Photos from Wednesday. Photos from yesterday. I took so many photos. I could have taken so many more. I want to only work in photography for now… But I know I must write to survive. That sounded shitty. Writing on my iPhone was fun yesterday. It was like…

  • Stinky But Great Going Adulting – Reddit Meetup and Stuff- Tons of Word Vomit Today and 600+ Pics to Edit

    “You didn’t write 1,000 words yesterday,” said Bryan yesterday at night. I know you fucker. I know. I said so. I was typing on my iPad in a cafe. It wasn’t the most comfortable way to word vomit. I typed faster than what my iPad processed, then I noticed there were tons of spelling mistakes…

  • Blog Stats – A Requiem for my Shirts – Back to Classical Guitar

    I almost completely forgot about my blog today. I basically forgot to think about what to write. Yesterday’s sushi rant took a lot of energy. And I did that for absolutely no reason. After that, I didn’t want to work anymore. But I did. I finish the story. I edited this morning and it’s already…

    Lightworks, aka, Erik Trejo, aka one of the few people that can make me dance is here from Austin. He has a show in Ensenada. Then one in San Diego. Then one in Tijuana. I would go to all three, but I have a tour tomorrow. And I am going to the one to Ensenada.…

    I got published today. Starting the year with a feature story about Haitian chicken and more. I wrote that story a few months back. Finally got published. Getting used to it. Cover story. Feature story. Next story. Shitty blog. Yesterday I finally started working on a story I did not query and I’m just writing for…

    If only …. If only I was always inspired to work, I would do so much more. But it is difficult. I have to finish an article today, not even sure where to start. And after that… I still don’t know where to go. Directions seem to always be a blur when freelancing everything and…

    This is getting posted on Monday right before midnight, at least I am complying with my deadline. Week three of my friend Drew visiting from college. Time went fast and I barely worked, but we did a lot of partying. This past weekend was one of the craziest I had. Friday was Noisefest in Tijuana and…

    New years resolution was a fail. The idea was to write more than ever before, but I have been avoiding my computer like if it wasn’t working. I was going to post more frequently in this blog and on Tijuana Adventure about all the tours I’ve been having. At least the San Diego Reader keeps…

  • Axl Rose is not on my Top 10 – Axl Attacks at LAX

    Everyone that writes about celebrity gossip were not on the scene when things went down. Every once in a while, paparazzi will get a call from a tabloid reporter to get some details. I got one call asking me about Maggie Gyllenhaal, her daughter Ramona and her husband Peter Sarsgaard. The reporter asked me if…
