On Hold and The Douchiness of Kanye West
So… things aren’t going as great as they should be. Since I quit my job, I haven’t been published and no tours have happened (many emails, several cancellations). But everyone keeps posting “follow your dream” bullshit things on social media. We are supposedly a generation that does whatever we feel like and make a living out…

Tijuana Adventure with College Housemate, Poker, Maybe Feature Story and Alanis Morissette
Oops. I missed the Monday deadline. But hey, I was in San Diego all day enjoying the day and I wrote the blog post in my ipad. I just wasn’t home to publish it (and edit photos). Here it is: It’s been only a week since I quit my job. I should be working all…

New post every Monday! Today = Adam Levine
OHHHHH Yeaahhhhh!! I quit my job! It has been a really fast and weird year. My new years resolution to write more went nowhere, but like almost every year, I get shaken up more over my birthday than new years. I am almost thirty now (I turned 29 on May 16th). For that reason, I…

I have been avoiding my computer…
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…

My Entire Adult Life I have been in Magazines and Blogs: 2014 Year Summary.
2015 is around the corner. My thirties are coming up soon. And I am still wondering what I am doing with my life. That’s what my life looked like on February 2011, a few months before quitting my job. That was the last month I had LAX duty and after that I relinquished to freelance…

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…

From West LA to Tijuana – From West Philly to Bel Air (Alfonso Ribeiro)
I’m still not sure how I ended up in Tijuana, I’m still not sure how I ended up being a writer. My days in Tijuana are mostly a blur and just like that, it’s been 2 years and a half in this city. TijuanaAdventure is about to become 1 year old. It’s been a year since…

Feel like giving up: Justin Bieber and the hate culture
It’s been a confusing month. It’s been a confusing year. These are very confusing times. It was only a couple of years back when Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber and more where just little rich kids running around Hollywood and I was chasing behind them (weird…) Now they do crazy different shit and people…

I pulled a Britney: the freelance rollercoaster is pretty wild
When you freelance all your life, it is bound to have some ups and downs. My birthday month was definitely an up. I dedicated all my time and energy on a project (TRF) that when it ended, it felt like going down on the Dragster (Cedar Pointe) reaching top speed and in an instant, it…

TRF: Basking in the glory of nothingness
I have no idea what is going to happen to Tijuana Rumble Fest, all I know is that it happened and it changed me forever. Yes, I am is in serious debt and no profits were made. But there was some success. There was never an accurate count of people that went to the festival, but…

From Paparazzo to Festival Organizer and More: Henry Rollins + TRF
I had a great birthday. One of the best I ever had. The most memorable birthdays I ever had was when I got Super Smash Bros. for the N-64 when I was 13. The other was three years ago when I turned 25, quit my job and went on a road trip. Then this last one…

Happy Birthday Megan Fox! Thanks for destroying my childhood
I don’t give a shit about Megan Fox, much less now that fucking Michael Bay cast her as April O’Neil. I know, I know…Megan Fox is hot, but there are a lot of better looking women with much more talent than her. And for TMNT they didn’t even try to make her look similar to…

Celebrity is a state of mind: Macaulay Culkin in Tijuana again
Fame is in the eye of the beholder. There are so many celebrities now a days and so much information online that we can give ourselves the luxury to love or hate as many we want. You know how many fucks I ever gave for the kids of Gossip Girl? I saw all of them,…

I’m so busy but all I want to do is watch House of Cards: Robin Wright at LAX.
So much work, so little time. Or maybe I’m just lazy. 2014 started out slow with my articles getting rejected so I started to look for more gigs everywhere. But after many rejections, sources started publishing me again and work started to pour in. Suddenly, it was February and I found myself overwhelmed by work…

Shia LaBeouf announces retirement from public life: Are we supposed to cry?
I had no idea about his plagiarized scandal, but you can tell that Shia doesn’t take criticism like a man. Some artists fall into a plagiarized scandal but they don’t act like he did. For example, when Coldplay plagiarized Joe Satriani. They settle that scandal like grown men with an out-of-court settlement, instead of whining…

Much More Than a Paparazzo: I’m Ted Danson
So much has changed since I was let go from my staff job as a paparazzo back in March of 2011. I wrote a story that same day that I got “fired” and thought about writing a book re-telling my celebrity encounters as I continued to work for the same agency as a freelance photographer.…

A Poem for Snoop; Here_Comes_The_King is on Reddit once more
Originally posted on Poem_for_your_sprog: Snoop Whilst wandering a Christmas day (Adrift in dreams of far away), I came across a man who wore A dozen hats, or maybe more – ‘Good morrow, friend!’ I called and tipped My cap to which the other dipped His own in some distinguished stoop, And said…

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr Broke Up! Sad Face :(
And I found out about it because Orlando Bloom was on the Colbert Report. That’s how out of the loop I am and how bad I can be with catchy celebrity news titles. But hey, this is not about the celebrity, is about the experiences I had with them, so yeah, it’s about me. As…

Macaulay Fuckin’ Culkin was in Tijuana!
A serious WTF?!?!?! Culkin was in motherfucking TJ! This guy is an elusive creature. Almost all child stars are, except Elijah Wood, that guy is the nicest guy ever. There’s probably more, but I can’t think of any child Hollywood star that is sane beside Elijah. Can’t wait until Suri Cruise grows up into a…

Apparently Innocent Miley Cyrus Did Some Controversial Shit
It’s so weird to see everyone talking about Miley on the VMAs and what she did during her live show. Everyone on my facebook, reddit and other internet sites I frequent can’t stop talking about it. I haven’t seen the video, but the screen caps are enough to tell me what she did. But how…

Who the Fuck is Lake Bell?
That’s exactly what I asked my boss when he told me to go to LAX to cover Lake Bell. I also asked him what kind of name is Lake Bell? He said that he had a hunch she would be famous sometime soon. And here I am 4 years later watching her go on The…

(Donald Faison, Zach Braff and Bob Saget) He Sucks Dick for Coke
Hey, remember how in my last post I said I was going post about a real celebrity…. Well, I lied. Two days after I saw Ashley Tisdale and got excited over nothing, I saw some girls getting excited over someone worse. It was after shooting the guys from Scrubs that I walked back to terminal…

(Ashley Tisdale) Getting Excited Over Nothing
Well, what can I say about Ashley Tisdale? Like I mentioned before, I had no idea which celebrity was who when I started this job, and I guess I still have no idea who Ashley Tisdale is, besides her work on High School Musical. I have never seen High School Musical either. I’ve watched one…
