  • Looking for Apartments Got me Down – Girlfriend’s Last Saturday (and Oli’s Birthday) – Pictures of Punta Cometa

    Alright. I just woke up a bit late. Girlfriend already left the apartment to do an errand and came back. I have nothing to write. It’s a slow Saturday. I don’t know how I do this every day. I’m sort of depressed. What’s new? Yesterday, we walked a lot. We went to Teléfonica for a…

  • Listening to Old Music: Chim Charoo Review – Craft Beer Photo Shoots! – Vacation/Wedding Edit Done

    I’m listening to Chim Charoo. The old band from Houston, Texas that my cousin had. I love this album. I love that band. They were way ahead of their times. I don’t think you can stream or listen to any of it online. You can only do it if you have the album. I’m listening…

  • 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…

  • Word Vomiting Up in the Air – Goodbye Beautiful Mosquito World, Hello Again Bizzarro Border Town – Thousands of Pictures to Edit

    Goodbye mosquito world. I type this on Aeromexico Flight 718 destined to Mexico City while I scratch the red swollen mosquito bites of my left ankle. Picking the dried up pus and blood from the scabs. So many mosquito bites. Memories that fade. Mosquito bites that will go away. Can’t help but think that I…

  • Two More Days in Paradise – Baby Turtle Release Party – French Cuisine and Out of Money

    Today is day 8. Only two more days and then we fly back… Which would be day 10, but we only have that morning. And now that we are in the last of it… It starts to feel heavy. As if we didn’t take enough advantage of it. Day 6 was pretty uneventful and the…

  • Day 6, Weather Has Turned Shitty – Intense Mezcal Dreams of Horny Nicotine Vampires – Roommate Breaks Up with Tijuana

    We both woke up real late again. It’s noon. But it feels like early morning. It’s cloudy and shitty outside. Like it was supposed to be the whole week. But it’s finally that five days later. I woke up first at around 7 am. After some very intense dreams. Some really dumb dreams. That included…

  • Day 2 to Day 5 in Oaxaca – Wedding, Mezcal, Beer, Random Food, Rinse, Repeat – 1250+ Pictures, No Way to Edit

    Day 2 of Oaxaca. We walked from Mazunte to San Agustinillo. It’s like a 20 minute walk. The sun and humidity are heavy. But we didnt’ care. Before getting to San Agustinillo, we bumped into my brother, his wife, and family, and my friend from childhood “El Killer.” They were headed our way. We were…

  • Oaxaca Day One, Almost No WiFi – Mosquitoes are Killing Me – Beach, Family, and Friends

    WiFi is very limited. I’m barely even going to write on my blog during this trip. Or well… that depends. I’m also typing on my girlfriend’s computer. She’s showing me how her pinky toe got swollen because she hit herself last night. She claims she bumped into me. I don’t remember. I just say yes.…

  • Everything is Hazy After Oaxaca – Feels Like Saturday and Gringo Friends are Coming to Tj Adventure – “El Bar” Spanish Movie Review

    Now there are only two days left for Oaxaca. And I’m nervous. Traveling always makes me a bit nervous. Last big travel I had was to Minneapolis and then a road trip to Tijuana with my college friends. Before that… nothing. I’ve been stuck in Tijuana far too long. Getting out for at least once…

  • Confusing Word Vomit in Two Far Farm Countries – Shooting Macro: The Gig is Fun, Is Not Often Enough – Ramona Ribs

    I’m sitting outside a Dunkin’ Donuts in downtown San Diego, drinking coffee and eating a granola bar. Neither are from DD (not Dungeons & Dragons). The establishment is packed with people. I wanted a breakfast sandwich. But granola and coffee from my brother’s office will suffice for now. I didn’t have time to word vomit…

  • Monterrey Girls Tour Tijuana – Oaxaca Shakes and the World Worlds – Character Stories and Work (Getting Published)

    It’s weird to word vomit with guests in the house. More because they aren’t my guests, but my girlfriend’s. I don’t have the trust/confidence I usually do. And I can’t coffee coffee coffee workout. And it’s really early. Well… 9 am now. I woke up to an email canceling the one gig I had to…

  • Dead Body Outside the Apartment at Midnight – September Plans – Oaxaca in Exactly One Month (Still Need Bisho Sitter)

    There was a dead body outside my apartment around midnight yesterday. I was about to go to bed after watching somewhat shitty stand-up comedy brought to you by Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias. Two Latinos. Gerry something and Rick something. I couldn’t make it all the way through in either of their specials. Both of them gave…

  • No Glamping but Mazunte, Oaxaca Soon – Astrophoto Workshop and Other Dreams – Shrimp/Octopus Tacos, Oysters, and Poke Delivery by Ancla Roja

    Waking up at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning sucks. It’s 9:41 a.m. and time has been still for those three hours. Coffee. TV. Internet. Coffee. Nothing else. Saturdays. You are not supposed to work. My girlfriend is at work. I don’t have much to do. The dude I want to interview is not there…
