  • 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…

  • May 2018: One of the Best Birthdays – Even More Work (and More Pics!) – Lost Phone/New Phone

    My birthday month is almost over. Traditionally, I hate my birthday. Even since I was a kid, I had bad birthdays. Awesome parties where friends had fun. But something always happened to me that it would ruined it. Like getting kicked out of a trampoline. Like literally “kicked out” while playing Power Rangers. I remember…

  • March: Music (and Other) Covers – White Boys Visit the Border (Pete, Code, Wood Adventure) – Reality/Other TV Tours and Fuck Chili’s

    March ended in an angry tone. It took me more than two days to let my anger go. I’m still pretty angry. March was busy in general. I also got sick again. The weather has been weird. My memory sucks. I can barely remember what I did the whole month. Let’s see… I had another…

  • January: Monthly Update – Wedding Photographer SEO – Reader Work and Covers – Music and Love

    Oh. Look. I’m writing in my blog for the first time in more than a month. A lot has happened since then. It’s a nice Sunday morning out. A bit cold, but Bisho enjoys the sun that comes through the balcony. My basil plants are looking great and tasty. I should chop some soon and…

  • 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…

  • 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…

    I should have done laundry on Sunday. I should have bought coffee yesterday. I should have done this or that. But coffee… I need coffee right now. And laundry later. Yep. I made coffee with the beans from yesterday and it just tastes like shitty water. There goes the Oaxacan coffee. One month and some…

    I have to go to a place I’ve never been today to take pictures for the special issue. I’m sort of nervous I’m not sure why. A new cover comes out tomorrow. And I think it’s going to be my favorite cover so far. You’ll have to wait and see. I’m excited for this one.…

    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.…

    Done with the first article out of four! Should have done this last week but only did half of it. Sort of. It’s an old story. A spooky story. Perfect to run around Halloween time. Fuck. That’s already this week and that magazine already printed. Shit. Then perfect for right after Halloween? It’s not meant…

  • 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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Sorry Bryan. I fell asleep. Bryan’s flight got delayed. I didn’t know how delayed but I assumed it was going to be after midnight. Right before midnight, I couldn’t help it and I fell asleep on the couch holding my phone around my head in case Bryan calls that he got there. I didn’t hear…

    Muddy shitty coffee after a slow shitty morning. I couldn’t get out of bed… And I didn’t have coffee. Got an email about not getting a job that I don’t even remember applying too. Well… that’s nice. Made my walk to Calimax bought coffee and some yogurt. And then watched Wet Hot American Summer for a…

  • Pot Brownies and Vodka Pasta – Jurassic World Movie Review – Celebrity Throwback: Bryce Dallas Howard

    Monday, the middle of August and two-thirds done with the year. I wake up a little bit depressed and not sure why. It is probably my lack of productivity and the lack of desire to do anything about it. I was supposed to work on the weekend and I forgot about it. Didn’t get the…

    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…
