    Welp shit. I’m 37. For years, my birthdays have brought misery with them. It doesn’t feel that way anymore. May is always money. It’s been like that for a while. Before the pandemic, I covered Gator by the Bay and made good money during May. There are a lot of events. I get busy in…

  • Long Exposure Selfie on the Cover (Again) -July is Over – OnlyFans Photoshoot

    I feel the need to be productive because it’s Monday, so I type and type. Otherwise, I would be playing DotA or Fall Guys. I just lost a ranked match. Waste of time. I just won a crown. Waste of time. Same thing. Win or lose. Waste of time. But hey, it’s entertainment. This week…

    Hey!I’m 36 now!I’ve been saying that since the beginning of the month. Since the beginning of the year. As soon as the year turns, I assume the age I’m going to be. I assumed it so early, that I forgot and I thought I was turning 37. The math doesn’t check out. So yes. Thirty-six.…

    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…

  • Saraby and Abril – Prints and Sexy Shoots – Tijuana Beer Tours 2021

    My therapist says that I am doing better. I guess I only told her all the good shit that has been happening and skipped all the horrible shit. Horrible shit.

  • A Dramatic Word Vomit – Girlfriend Rocky Future But Could be Wife – Editor Talks Shit About Me

    There is a foul smell coming in through my balcony windows. My street in Tijuana is again filled with sewer water. It’s not horrible this time. It’s just smelly. Tijuana is always a mess.
