  • Week 49 (2025) – Bugonia and Back to the Movie Theater Review – NYC Tips – End the Year and Social Media Gig

    I’m going to the movies for the first time in almost a decade. My girlfriend likes to go to the movie theater. I don’t. We’ve been dating for two plus years. And this is my first time going with her. The last movie I saw in the theaters was Deadpool. Or The Great Wall with…

  • Week 5 (2025) – Slow February Start – Selling Gear, Going to Ensenada

    It’s hard to write when there isn’t much to write about. It’s not Monday. It’s Tuesday already. And I got nothing. I don’t have a tour this weekend (as of now). I have to create my own jobs. Ensenada Adventure: creating content for that soon. I have a lot of work. But it’s all tedious…

  • No Niche Photography – Drone, Journalism, Nalgas, Food & Drinks, Landscapes, Fantasies, Etc. – Best Thing I’ve Ever Written

    I don’t know what to do with my day. I don’t know what to do with my life. I say that a lot. This girl that I like and she likes me back always says the same “start writing.” I don’t know what to write anymore. I’m not a writer. I just have stories to…

  • 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…

    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…

  • 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…

  • 28 Weeks, 3 Days: The Daily Battle – Waking Up Sucks – Typing Away in a Bar

    28 Weeks, 3 Days. I haven’t been having the best of days. Waking up is the worst part of my day. I just feel heavy with no motivation to even get out of bed. And I still fight through it. Make some coffee. Drink a lot of coffee. Work out a bit. Have breakfast. Shower.…

    26 weeks, 5 days. Boy! Is hot out. It feels like I’ve been working non-stop. Last time I posted was my last break. I slept all of that Saturday. It felt like a waste of a day. But I rested. Sunday I went to Valle de Guadalupe to get some fancy dining on at Deckman’s…

    19 Weeks, 4 Days. I’m depressed to be back. It’s not Tijuana. It’s life. I guess that’s what I was trying to avoid. Because… Tijuana… Tijuana is still great. My last night in CDMX was a lazy one because it was a Monday. Not much to do on Mondays I guess. Much less when your…

  • May 2018: One of the Best Birthdays – Even More Work (and More Pics!) – Lost Phone/New Phone

    My birthday month is almost over. Traditionally, I hate my birthday. Even since I was a kid, I had bad birthdays. Awesome parties where friends had fun. But something always happened to me that it would ruined it. Like getting kicked out of a trampoline. Like literally “kicked out” while playing Power Rangers. I remember…

  • 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…

  • Reddit Morning (Shitposting and Karma) – Slow Saturday – Post #465, Five More to Go

    I woke up at 7 am for no reason. My brain was just like “wake up dude, it’s Saturday and you have nothing to do.” You are correct brain. I have nothing to do today. So why wake me up so early? I went to bed around midnight… Fell asleep after the Hobbits deal with…

  • Hibernating at Nelson – Life Has Been Reduced to Nothingness – Hiatus Done: Two Weeks Worth of Word Vomit

    It’s dark outside though it’s 1:20 pm. It’s also cold. It went from being 100°F plus and sunny to 65°F cloudy and cold. I know, 65°F is not that cold in many places. For me it is. For her, it would be. I spoke to her on the phone this morning. It was a better…

    Alright! I posted my breakfast on Reddit. Let’s see if it makes it to the front page. I doubt it. But let’s see. This was my breakfast yesterday: The Freiburger®: meat patty, white American cheese, fries, coleslaw, mayo, on King Hawaiian Rolls, and topped it off with an egg. I like The Hangover breakfast a…

    Alright. I just woke up a bit late. Girlfriend already left the apartment to do an errand and came back. I have nothing to write. It’s a slow Saturday. I don’t know how I do this every day. I’m sort of depressed. What’s new? Yesterday, we walked a lot. We went to Teléfonica for a…

    I have to go. Like right now. I barely sat down with some coffee to write this. Look at the hour. And I basically should go right now. My left ear is blocked. My right ear is fucked. I’m practically deaf. How did I do this every day? There’s not much to say. Yesterday, Yesenia came…

    Alright, dude, you can do this! My girlfriend said she was going to work for this half week that we have left before OAXACA! She lied. She woke up early this morning and said, “I don’t want to go.” Or something like that. It was 4 am. I didn’t take notes. Point is, she decided…

    I woke up at 5:02 am when I heard a very loud crash in the kitchen. CRASH!!!!! It was super fucking loud. Before getting up. I knew what it was. My girlfriend over tipped the ceramic base that holds the water jug too much. It was my fault. I didn’t buy water. There was no…

    I just posted a massive burger pic on Imgur and on /r/food. It pissed me off that a shitty picture of burgers was on the front page. Friday Reddit. Shitty Reddit. The picture on Imgur is doing great. Spoke too soon. It’s only been a minute and it already has two comments. It probably won’t…

    Well… that was fast. I finished the article I talked about yesterday. Woke up this morning and sent it. The editor responded right away. “Too busy right now, get back to me on Tuesday.” So I’ll have to wait till Tuesday. My roommate liked the story. But he said the same thing about a story…
