  • Photography is All I Want To Do – Writing is What I Should Do – Music is What I Studied

    I’ve spent my whole morning editing photos. Photos from Wednesday. Photos from yesterday. I took so many photos. I could have taken so many more. I want to only work in photography for now… But I know I must write to survive. That sounded shitty. Writing on my iPhone was fun yesterday. It was like…

  • Birthday and Baby – Full of San Diego Tacos and A Chamoy Beer – 3 out of 4 Missions Accomplished

    An old prostitute with a sculpted fake body wearing a tiny purple dress strolls Zona Norte at 7:35 am. I was sitting in the car with my brother on my way to the border when I noticed her. The strip clubs had their doors wide open, with bouncers ready at the door but no customers.…

  • It’s May – Nephew Turns 3 Today, I Turn 31 Soon – Busy The Next Three Days (and All of May)

    I woke up at 3ish am and couldn’t go back to sleep. So naturally, I played Zelda. Ran around everywhere for a while finding Korok Seeds and marking spots where Korok Seeds are, but I couldn’t figure out the riddle. There are many shrines and seeds to go still… and only one memory. I fell…

  • Astro Landscape Pictures And How To Take Them (Photo Lesson…?) – Sunday Glamping and More – Skipped Monday, Today is Monday.

    I skipped celebrity Monday because fuck it. Labor Day. A lot of Mexico was off. And so was my girlfriend. So I also took the day off. I also didn’t have a chance to sit on my computer almost at all. Today feels like Monday. But it’s Tuesday. So no celebrity this week. But tons…

  • I Met Jesus at Teléfonica – New Tijuana Museum (pics) – Valle Glamping Tonight

    Yesterday was full of twists and surprises. Girlfriend left early to go to work. I did the daily routine of word vomiting. At around noon I headed to the new Tijuana museum with my camera and the borrowed super wide angle lens. I bumped into Josh and his friend Marc right away. Haydee and Sylvia were…

  • Beauty and The Geek – Art Touring A Reality Show Winner – Music Not on My Radar, Photography Still Is

    “I’m am very Jewish looking.” I received a phone call at 4:30 pm from a guy named Josh who contacted me for some sort of Tijuana Adventure. Josh is a writer from Los Angeles and he is down in Tijuana interviewing artists. I thought I was going to meet him at around 1 pm but…

  • Open Wide, NO! Wider! – Dan Almosts Gets Me Arrested and Takes a Selfie – YEP YEP YEP

    Yesterday didn’t go quite as I expected. After having the expensive breakfast and coffee, I went to search for the owner of a restaurant that I needed to shoot. It was too early to find him. So I walked around Coronado for a while catching Pokémon waiting for the dude to arrive. Who knew rich…

  • In Coronado from Tj – Beat Gannon – Shitty Post

    From Tijuana to Coronado. So close yet a million years apart. Coronado is one of the most expensive places to live in California, Tijuana the cheapest. But I got sent to here for work. Simple pictures. Now I have so much time to kill until my next shoot which should be around lunch time. It’s…

  • Broken Gear – High School Drawings – Work, Write, Pictures!

    This is one of the most painful things I’ve seen in a while. That’s not my gear. It belongs to Ryan Fu who amazingly still works as a paparazzi. He is one of the few that keeps at it. We rarely shot together, but I hung out with him at some pap parties. He is…

  • A Ship In The Woods Full Album – Finishing Taco Mission – If The World Had Downvotes

    A girl recently told me, “I just want to be insta famous.” You are a hot young girl. A selfie garners more likes than any picture I’ll ever take (unless if I take pictures of hot girls). It sounds silly. But I get it. We (or maybe not everyone) cares about getting some likes on…

  • Emo Taxi – Secret Admirer? Nah, Troll. – Kim Zolciak

    I’m emotionally spent. I was in an emo taxi. As I was emotionally taxed. In a Dashboard Confessional mixed with Death Cab for Cutie kinda mood but in Mexico. If I had an emo band in Mexico, I would call it “El Taxi de Memo.” Yeah. After pouring out my feelings in a word vomit…

  • My Shit Barometer – VR California Trip Light Art Exhibit Night – Fucking Things Up

    Hah! You thought I was going to skip the Sunday blog? You were wrong. It’s time to word vomit. Honestly, I should really skip today’s blog. I was planning on writing it earlier, but I got distracted with my girlfriend because we didn’t spend the night together yesterday. And I should skip it because this…

  • She Missed Her Flight – I Did Nothing and Lost My Shit Sunglasses – Thwarted Plans, Now What?

    Well… Nothing went like planned. We went to try a new place by Pasaje Gomez that serves burgers and craft beer. She got a portobello burger, and I got the meat one with ham and bacon (and it was supposed to be a double, but I rather have just the single). They were both really…

  • Swell Time I’m Almost 31 – 4/20 Celebration Dumbfuckery – Too Many Car Options

    Here we go! Another day. Another word vomit. It feels like a Saturday. Alas, it is not. Ok. Getting way too distracted with Reddit, looking for cars, and reading articles. I have work to do…? Question mark? Haven’t had breakfast yet either. This day is going slow, and I’m doing nothing. Let’s change that. First…

  • My Life in Magazines (Again) – I Walked Shit Tons – And Tons and Tons and Tons of Pictures

    I had to edit yesterday’s post because posting on iPad sucks. I looked at the text and it looked all fucky. Dislike. Yesterday after Krakatoa cafe and breakfast sandwich, and abandoning the blog, the day was pretty fantastic. I did shit tons of walking. Probably like 8 miles of walking or more. Pokémon Go does…

  • Click Bait Title Work – Sorry, We Did Not Break Up – In San Diego Wasting My Day

    Well… Starting my day already in bad shape. I got on the wrong bus, sort of knew it and still did it. Now I am waiting for the trolley on Iris Station, typing on my iPad. It smells strongly of a cheap hot dog. The remnants of a 7-eleven big bite are nearby. The garbage…

  • My Girlfriend Broke Up With Me – Slow Morning – And No Car

    I don’t know what happened. I thought we were fine. Yesterday she woke up to go to work. Like always we cuddled a bit before she jumped in the shower. Then she kissed me goodbye, and I passed out for an extra hour or two like I always do. I didn’t hear from her all…

  • Pretty People and Creepy Twins at a Throwback LA Party – World is a Real Shit – Mila Jovovich

    We both woke up thinking the same thing. Board games. I had dreams about controlling the yellow army on Risk. We couldn’t even finish the game of Risk. It was getting too long and ridiculous. The yellow army basically was left untouched, and I guess that carried into my dreams of world domination by controlling…

  • Scrabble, Jenga, Risk, and even Magic the Gathering – Gallos Lost, I lost – Oysters Time

    She became Scrabble obsessed. I created a monster. Yesterday she didn’t want to stop playing. I had to drag her out of the house. Mostly because I wanted to place a bet on Gallos winning against America. Odds were paying well. But I made it a minute late and couldn’t place a bet. We went…

  • Scrabble and Board Games – Everyone is in Either Coachella or Ensenada – Pinche Paco Bought a Camera

    My girlfriend takes for eternity to play a word in scrabble. I have played a lot of scrabble in my life, I believe I am pretty decent at it. So I am obviously kicking her ass. I started playing a lot during my college years. Before word with friends was a thing, it existed on…

  • I Need My Own Car – Press Pass Mother Fucker! – Swearing for Fuck’s Sake

    The more I work, the less time I have to write stupid shit on this blog. I woke up early today again to go to UCSD. I borrowed my brother’s car again and this time drove across the border by myself. For some reason I was nervous. First time crossing the border while driving a…

  • Back to School … and I’m Old – Fucking Parking Ticket – Late Night Word Vomit

    That’s Bisho at 7:14 am. This is a weird word vomit. I started with a picture. Because why not. It’s also 10:23 pm as I start this, not the usual 10:23 am. I don’t have coffee. I have sweet and salty trail mix from Trader Joe’s and water. I wished I had coffee. But it’s…

  • I’m Moving to Riverside to MAGA – Got the Master Sword – UCSD All Day Tomorrow

    I woke up with an itch to rant. So… sit back, fasten your seatbelts, and relax baby. This is going to get stupid (like always). It’s Wednesday. That means the new cover story comes out on the Reader. It also means that Letters to the Reader come in. And it is one of my favorite…

  • Lasagna for Breakfast – Paid Photo Mission #2 – Getting More Busy (Duh… Busier!)

    I don’t have much time to word vomit this morning. Adulting is getting serious and my calendar starts to get more packed. I have to run in less than 30 minutes to meet another writer to do some photographs for his story. It’s pay request Tuesday. And pay request I did. I woke up before…

  • iPhone Went for a Swim – Sunday Cocktails and Cheese – Harold Ramis

    iPhone got water damaged. Not my iPhone. I am usually really good at taking care of my stuff. My girlfriend, again, broke her iPhone. It’s not even hers. It’s from work. She might get fired for this, but I doubt it. She woke up very worried about it at around 4:45 am. Her iPhone went…
