  • 2021 Off to a Horrible Start – Books Discounted, Books Promoted – Luminar Software Review

    Where have my days in 2021 gone?! I swear I already wrote a blog or two this year. Nope. Nothing. The end of 2020 changed nothing. Every day I wake up late and do fucking nothing. Every night I tell myself “tomorrow you are going to wake up early, workout, prepare some breakfast, and do…

  • Word Vomit Continues All 2021 – Fucking Life – Motivation to Nothingness

    I don’t know what I am doing… all I know is I really want to do it. Be productive. 2020 drain all my motivation and find it again it’s going to be a bitch. But I want it. I’ve been watching YouTube tips on how to sell more on Amazon, which makes me realize that…

  • X-Mas Set and Flying Around – Pay What You Can or Texas Time – Bye-Bye Fantasy Football and Books

    I woke up to the sounds of Transformers fucking outside my window. There are issues with the water pipes and drainage on my street. Trucks and other equipment are making a shit ton of mechanical sounds and rock/cement breaking. It sounds like Transformers fucking. I have been doing fucking nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. I have…

  • Insane Phone Call This Morning – Jeb Depression and Texas Back-up Fantasy – NFL Semana #11

    I just hung up from the most insane phone conversation I have ever had in my life. First of all. I hate the phone. So fuck that shit. I remember talking on the phone with a girl for the first time when I was in middle school. It was the most boring shit ever. I…

  • Whole Lot of Nothing and Everything – Cover Picture Out Today (Cover Love Story Out Soon) – NFL Fantasy Güiching Auer

    I sold one book all of November. And it wasn’t even my new book, it was the Tijuana Adventure book. You can buy that HERE. Or my new book, here! The Amazon rating for my books is the lowest it has ever been. Neither of them are on the top #100 of their category. How…

  • Drone Adventures – Flying is my New Favorite Thing – NFL Fantasía Semana #8

    I want to fly!!! That’s all I want to do. My friend Danny, a guy I toured a few years ago, lent me his DJI Mavic Mini. A nifty little drone that weighs 249 grams, making it legal to fly in most places in the United States. In Mexico, drone laws are a bit confusing…

  • No Line, Easy Gig – Back to Book Promoting – NFL Fantasy en Español (Semana 7)

    This is dumb. This year. This life. That’s how it feels. Probably because I lost in my NFL fantasy game and my parlay. Probably because I’m not sure where to go next. It feels like that way too often. I have two somewhat easy photo gigs. One is super simple. Go to multiple spots, take…

  • My Fan Died, Need Thousands More – Paperback and Digital Download Available – Buy the Book!

    My best and only fan died this morning. I woke up early to the smell of something burning. I drunkenly kicked the fan before going to bed. That kick might have killed the engine. The fan gets kicked around often and it’s filthy with cat hair. Maybe that also did it. It’s hot in my…

  • Paparazzi Daze Book Comes Out in a Week!!! – September is almost over – NFL Fantasy Football Season 3!

    Ugh… Amazon is taking forever. I’m trying to upload the latest cover design for my book but it’s not going through. Just stays in “processing your files…” I need to update the manuscript as well… The latest revision is being done by the sensei master himself, Chad. His book is also coming out soon! And…

  • Paparazzi Daze / Celebrity Encounters – Corona is Over? – Buy Buy BUY My Book(s)

    IT HAS BEEN DONE!!! My book about my paparazzi times is complete (sort of). This is not the official cover but one done by a friend of mine: The official cover will be similar, but different font and other different details. The back cover needs to be designed as well… and I’m not sure what…

  • Donatella Died, Valle de Guadalupe Trip – Sex Change – “Paparazzi Daze” Book 63.7% Done

    The longer I go without writing, the harder it gets to get back to it. It has happened to me before. It is happening to me again. You forget just how you do it. How do I just sit here and word vomit so much? How did I write a book about Tijuana in a…

  • Sneks and Cover Shots – Job Offer and Interview – Halfway Done with the Paparazzi Book

    I woke up at 7:17 a.m. I was waiting for an email for the one gig I have. Two emails really. A gig I wanted to take care of last week but the people in the story are not making it easy to meet them. It’s set for tomorrow. One gig. Three photo things. It…

  • It’s Mom’s Birthday and 2020 Still Sucks – More Covers, More Word Vomit – Unboxing a Case of Mystery Beer

    It’s my mom’s birthday. She would’ve been 63. And she would have been hating this year. This year fucking sucks. She would have enjoyed yesterday though. Yesterday was a good day. And if she was around, she would be with us. I went with my brother, his wife, and his kids to pick strawberries in…

  • June is Finally Here – Sexy Misty Cosplay Shoot (I Do Not Sleep With My Models) – Hollywood is Racist (Duh) and My Next Book

    June is Finally Here is a great song by Don Caballero. Hella, Don Caballero, and Tera Melos (and some Lightning Bolt). I listened to them a lot in 2007. Ever since then I listen to a shit ton of math rock. The book I’m writing is going great! The other book… I get one sale…

  • Donatella is in Danger – Did Some Gigs, Reviewed Some Beers – Sexy / Nerdy Photoshoot

    My car didn’t pass smog on the first attempt. I went to a place called “Smog Centro” in National City after a gig taking pictures of a chef who was delivering craft meals to senior citizens. It was late afternoon and a quick google search told me most smog places were closing, so I went…

  • YouTube Beer Reviews and Sexy Photo Shoots – Controversial Cover – Starcraft with Friends

    It feels like I haven’t written anything in a long time. I guess two weeks is a long time. I remember I got busy. I’m not sure how or when or what I did. But I got busy. I did one photoshoot for the magazine, I haven’t done that in what feels like years. It…

  • Deleted Instagram – Depressed From Doing Nothing, Doing Nothing Because Depressed – Purgatory on Earth

    I woke up more depressed than I usually am. More than I have been in a year. My heart feels heavy and everything annoys me. Like my own life. I deleted Instagram because I check it every 10 seconds. After all, there is nothing to do. It is probably not healthy to be on that…

    I just hung up the phone with my fisherman buddy from Alaska. Who the fuck uses the phone? Him. And my brother. And Szavio the wise man. There are just a few people that do. I love texting, but that phone call was nice. The call was about job prospects. And he also wanted to…

    Chapter 24. Fucking Tijuana. I woke up feeling sick. My head hurts. It feels hollow. I have a bit of a cough. Not much mucus though I am spitting more often than normal. I got that Tecate Virus. Except, I didn’t drink Tecate yesterday. It might be the Corona, but I really doubt it. I…

  • Drinking my Earnings – Done Spamming the Book (Working on the Next One) – LOTR Paparazzo Times (That One Time I Talked to Frodo Baggins)

    I woke up at 3:00 a.m. today. I couldn’t go back to bed, so I started watching LOTR The Two Towers for the millionth time. It’s an odd concept to think of this movie as old. And Christopher Lee is gone. I saw a lot of the people in LOTR back in the paparazzo days.…

  • March 2020: Year is Going Fast – Keep Spamming my Book (Sorry) – Tijuana is Still Consuming Me

    My neighbor just grabbed my butt a minute ago. I went out to grab coffee beans because I have none. Shitty Oxxo coffee and some yogurt. And on my way back, she was opening the gate. I told her I would open it for her. And she grabbed my butt. SEXUAL HARASSMENT YO!!! She said…

    That year is over. No need to keep counting. I lost count in week 22 or so. I still wake up daily and think of her. And lately, I’ve been having dreams about my mom. It’s weird in the sense that I think my dream is a reality and my reality is a dream. My…

    52 Weeks, 1 Day. I am one year old now. It was the worst year of my life. I cried a lot last year. The most I have ever cried as a grown man… Grown man… Probably when I was on my emo phase as a teenager I cried more. I probably cried more when…

    51 Weeks, 0 Days. I feel like I’ve been the busiest to earn the least amount of money. I expected three small paychecks that would equal my rent but received only one. I was prepared to spend the next two weeks broke. I could barely afford to pay rent. But then… I got paid for…
