Week 43 (2025) – One Month in New Gig – Busy Social Media Weeks – Halloween 2025 Thwarted Plans
I rarely write my blog at night. It’s usually on Monday mornings with my second cup of coffee after reading emails and social media notifications. I’ve been busy this week, and it’s only Tuesday. I wasn’t that busy last week. But today I was (still am, hence writing at night). And yesterday I was busy.…

Week 42 (2025) – Back to Food Photography – No Tours, No Money – 12K Followers on Insta
Instagram, as a photo application, is dead. It’s mostly video now (it has been for a while). Photos don’t look high-def. There is a need for a new platform that showcases high-quality pictures. What will it be? Patreon? Subscribe to my Patreon! I’ve been uploading A TON of photos for free. Spooky Season is here,…

September 2024: NFL Fantasía is BACK – Reaching A Million People with Videos – Aloha Shirt Coming Soon
OH YES! Start writing soon. I haven’t written as much as I said I would. I only have 4 stories in the San Diego Reader published this year. One of them was a cover. I like that cover. I like almost all my cover stories. There is another story credited to this year, but I…

Super Bowl Shit – Steady Cover Photo Life – Prints Are Expensive As F
Well… That Super Bowl game was shit. I wanted the Bills to win it since I got Diggs as my wide receiver and I was loving what I saw from the team. I never really liked the Bills or their fans, but I was digging this team. And my cousin Dennis is a huge fan…

Insane Phone Call This Morning – Jeb Depression and Texas Back-up Fantasy – NFL Semana #11
I just hung up from the most insane phone conversation I have ever had in my life. First of all. I hate the phone. So fuck that shit. I remember talking on the phone with a girl for the first time when I was in middle school. It was the most boring shit ever. I…

I sold one book all of November. And it wasn’t even my new book, it was the Tijuana Adventure book. You can buy that HERE. Or my new book, here! The Amazon rating for my books is the lowest it has ever been. Neither of them are on the top #100 of their category. How…

Drone Adventures – Flying is my New Favorite Thing – NFL Fantasía Semana #8
I want to fly!!! That’s all I want to do. My friend Danny, a guy I toured a few years ago, lent me his DJI Mavic Mini. A nifty little drone that weighs 249 grams, making it legal to fly in most places in the United States. In Mexico, drone laws are a bit confusing…

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…

Story Sold, Books Not So Much – Baja Adventure Travels – NFL and Other Fantasías
I sold the story. Fear and Loathing in La Baja sold to the regular bidder and the only place I submit my stories, the San Diego Reader. It should be a cover or a feature story in the near future. There are only 10 weeks left to 2020. It should be one of those 10 weeks.…

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…

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…

49 Weeks, 2 Days: Texas Xmas and MJ of TJ- Fuck You 2019! – NFL Fantasy Champion at Least
49 Weeks, 2 Days. It’s dumb to count because I really lost count forever ago. But I miss my mom so much… I can’t believe it’s going to be a full year without her. It still feels like I’m going to see her on a holiday thing. But no. 2020 is around the corner. I…

44 Weeks, 2 Days. I’m typing this on Monday though I plan to publish on Tuesday. Life has slowed down… or so it feels. It’s Thanksgiving week which means a lot of people are not working. And my office seems to be one of them. I have no work. I have no work until mid-December.…

40 Weeks, 3 Days: Beer Cover! – Great Stories to Tell, Yet Can’t Tell Them – NFL in Español #8 (yeahhh more of that)
40 Weeks, 3 Days. It’s going to be a year soon. It is still the weirdest thing ever… I told my therapist about it. How it is still difficult to say it out loud. My mom died. It’s still difficult to type without choking up, but I’m getting better. And it’s very difficult to tell…

39 Weeks, 3 Days: Skipped Last Week Cuz Busy, Welcoming Travelers Again – 1st Year Without Mom Almost Done, Keep Moving On – NFL Fantasy en Español (Semana 6 y 7)
39 Weeks, 3 Days. I skipped last week. The blog and the NFL fantasy summary (like anyone cares except my fantasy group). Pablo, a friend from childhood, wrote the review and did a pretty good job about it. I lost my match. I lost my bet. This week. Some of the same… but not as…

37 Weeks, 3 Days: Writers Gamble, Right? – Uneasy Days and Most Important Day Tomorrow – More NFL in Spanish, Get Used to It
37 Weeks, 3 Days. I’ve been having really weird days since last week… Nothing exciting. Nothing really that odd. I just don’t feel like myself and then suddenly the day disappears.

36 Weeks, 3 Days: October is here: Christmas Decisions to Make it Less Shitty – Comedy Stand-Up Cover – NFL In Spanish Week 4 and A Lot of Word Vomit
36 Weeks, 3 Days. Like I mentioned before, I actually lost count. I just know by looking back at the blog that it’s been in fact 36 weeks, 3 days. It’s a weird feeling because it feels long ago but at the same time very recent. Long ago, because I am already sort of used…

35 Weeks, 3 Days. Another cover last week, another cover tomorrow, another cover the week after. Then probably an illustration. And after that, probably another cover.

34 Weeks, 3 Days: Published TJ Tour Guide Stories Book Here – Support me on Patreon (Hah) – NFL in Spanish Semana #2
34 Weeks, 3 Days. I miss a good home-cooked meal. My diet is composed of tacos, burgers (no more please), pizza, burritos, more tacos, different types of tacos, sometimes chicken wings, and beer. I also consume garbage Oxxo food from time to time. Their shitty sandwiches and whatnot. I like good sandwiches. There are no…

33 Weeks, 3 Days. I’ve been getting some anxiety when I go out to my favorite places in town… I’m afraid I’m going to bump into her and all the depression and feelings will come out. After all, my favorite bar is one of her favorite bars. But at least is slow down September. Not…

I woke up very depressed… The end of the year is not what it was supposed to be. And I want it to be 2020 already. Please. This last week felt more like a month. Or even longer. I had one photo gig. A fun one. I did it all mopey and depressed. I was…

Early December: NFL Fantasy Playoffs (en Español) – Back to Work – Back to Finding a Car to Buy
I have to pull the trigger soon. Just be brave. And do it… Pull the effing trigger. And buy a car. It’s been around a year that I’ve been looking at cars. At some point, I almost got a 90s Bronco for free. That didn’t happen. Then there was some talk of a free Honda…
