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…

Wrapping Up The Word Vomit – The End is Near and What a Ride – 2017 Tijuana, Love, and Life
I woke up at 5:30 am. Well… first I woke up at 2:30 am, but fuck that, went back to bed. I tried the same thing at 5:30 am, but couldn’t. Just tossed and turned thinking about the future and what to write. Yep. I pitched a long ass article and when it comes 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…

Great Night in SD with Chad – Finding TJ People in Unexpected Places – Midnight Light Painting and Trolley Generosity
Yes! Done editing. So many pictures… And a few extras for myself. Last night was great. I had Taco Bell. And it was glorious. Fast food guilty pleasure. Them bean burritos are cheap and necessary after the night I had. I mean… I wanted In N Out or something ‘Muricun, but Chad wanted Taco Bell.…

Talking Nerdy Music with Bobby at Mamut – Photo Gig Today with Chad – The End of the Blogging Year is Near
I saw Bobby again yesterday. We talked about music and other nerdy things. It reminded me how disconnected I’ve been from the scene. Luis. The guy from Los Yepa Yepa walked by. I always see him carrying instruments. On their way to rehearse. Young spirit with a young band having fun. I miss it. Not…

An Unhealthy Obsession with Tijuana – Not Sure if Inspired or Insane – Cover in my Mind and Covers Past
There she is again. Crazy meth head lady. Going car to car knocking on the driver’s window asking for money in an aggressive manner. How she survives. I have no idea. She probably gets twenty pesos in an hour or two. Then she is gone. Probably for more meth. She will appear again sometime. Do…

Never Met Rafa Saavedra – TJ Times and Existence – Tap Tuesday Helps to Ponder Writer’s Block
I don’t know much about Rafa Saavedra except what I’ve heard from people and the quotes that float around in la city. I’ve written snippets of his work here and there. I’m reading some right now. He died before my TJ times. He is considered a legend of Tijuana writing. A master of Spanglish. Somewhat…

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…

Bisho Santa – Lazy NFL Sunday After Sporadic Solo Tijuana Saturday Adventure – Mamut, Tacos Varios, Teorema, Cine Tonalá, and Chips
It’s lazy NFL Sunday. Yep. My fantasy team is doing horrible again. At least Derick Carr did something at the end of the game. Fucker almost left me with no points. Also. I got published. I wrote that yesterday because I treated my Saturday as a workday. And it paid off. I should treat more…

The Christmas Story That Never Was and a Canceled Tijuana Holiday Adventure – Santa Claus Photo Shoot Done
Bisho! He gets between my legs when walking into the kitchen, tripping me. Then he complains like “bro, why you tripping?” BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING IN BETWEEN MY LEGS. Fucking cats. I slept. I slept so fucking much. I was watching the Japanese movie Your Name (in Spanish, because there’s no English translation or subtitles,…

Bowling With the Bosses and My Mom – Back to Guitar and Random Great Wine – Work… ?
It’s so impossible to get out of the new bed. Especially when not truly inspired to work. I always want to send stuff that I didn’t pitch. The winds are fucking crazy. My plants are shuffling like crazy. I’m not sure if the basil plant is going to survive. I’m so fucking sore. My left…

Got a Present: New Bed – And A New NEW Roommate – Kool 52 and Tacon Veggie Reviewed – Holiday Party at TVRN Bowl Today!
Skipping the blog for a day always seems problematic. Like I lose the flow. Even for just one single day. I treated yesterday like the weekend. I shouldn’t have. But I still did. Sort of just happened. My rebound visited me. After going back and forth deciding if she would or not. I don’t know…

Wild Kitten Dreams and Missing Her Dearly – Hipster Paparazzo Disaster Avoided – Marco Antonio Solís
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…

Two Tijuana Adventures in a Row – Hipster as Fuck: Craft Beer, Tacos, Pop-Up Stores, Teléfonica, Crickets, Mezcal, Drag Queens and Street Tacos

Dragonforce at The Red Dragon – A Good Day to Adult – Torta with Tony Tee and Wine Tasting with El Profesor de Vinos
I should be leaving right now. But I’m not. Today. I adult. I haven’t adulted in a while. I tried to yesterday. I interviewed three people. In a very awkward manner. But I believe I got what I need. Not having a beard makes me a hundred times whiter. More people on the street offer…

Shave and a Haircute – Favorite Stranger Things – Boring Shit/Work Time
96% of the blog space is used. Another reason I’m almost done with it. It being the blog. And so I can wake up every morning and write books instead of word vomits. Or so is the idea. Hey. I’m back to a more normal schedule! Shit. It’s almost noon and I woke up not…

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…

Bye Nelson, Hi Chips – Deck 22 Not For Me – Slayer + Growls = Life
I haven’t been in this bar in years. I never took my ex here. My first true TJ self. I never took her to Nueva Pachanga. My other true self. Well…. just the night we met. Then Zacas. And we never went back. I never dared taking her to those places. True raw gross Tijuana. It…

Wasting Inconsistent Days – Drugs Are Bad Mmmkay – College Rebound
I woke up super hungover today. Bad. It hasn’t been that bad for a while. But I’ve nursed it good enough. Ordered Uber Eats. Two sandwiches from “Buendwich.” The first one was a breakfast sandwich. It was alright. Nothing spectacular. I could make a better breakfast sandwich. The second one awaits and I’m going to…

Balboa Trees Cover – Thanksgiving Vacation Equals Beers – Legoland and Rouleur Brewing
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…

Pink Sunsets and Interview at Norte – Hanging Out with Sophie (and More) – Full Circle of a Small Tj Life
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.…

My Truth About Hollywood Scandals – The First Chapter of a Book I Never Wrote – CTM: Talking to Elijah Wood
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.…

Lucha Libre with Rumble Girl and Chucuchu – Forced Myself to Party Until 3:30 a.m. – Back to Tacos and Beer
9:44 am on a Saturday and I wake up feeling great. Yesterday was a great day/night. I came home at 3:31 am after a long night of partying. I didn’t even want too. I got convinced to do so. And I am happy that I did. It feels like Sunday. But there’s no NFL. I’m…

Stranger Things Reviewed – Hanging Out with Other Writers – Happiness in Loneliness
I skipped the blog yesterday. Oops. Wednesday I didn’t do anything but work and be sick. And then at night time… I watched… STRANGER THINGS. For the first time ever. And holy shit. What a dumbfuck I have been for not watching it before. Yep. I just started season 1. And I binged watch the…

Taking Refuge in Music – Yoshi’s Ramen and Breakfast Croissant at La Marque – New NFL Cover, Went to San Diego for Another Cover!
Alrighty! Yep. I’m sick. I went through two rolls of toilet paper and dozens of napkins yesterday. Today is more of a sore throat. My nose already hurts. I should shave the mustache. I have to leave in like 30 minutes to go do a photo gig that I’m missing. I have to deliver by…
