  • My Awesome Girlfriend Cooks Awesomely (and Also Pounds Beers) – Santuario New Brewery Review – Rejecting a Contract And Feeling Like a Douche About It

    My girlfriend cooked dinner while I did office type work. The desk has always been like my office… but now with the whiteboard above me, it feels more real. I like it. It shows me clearly what I have to do. My schedule has always been pretty open to anything. With a couple of dates…

  • Strikes and Holes in One – Baseball Tour Time – Cover Photo and Amazing Breakfast

    After all the Grinchiness wash away with booze, it felt like a normal Wednesday. Except a number changed. I’m no longer 30. But 31. That’s the only real change. The rest is still the same. No desire to do writing work. Just want to take pictures. My photo missions aren’t until the weekend. Let’s see…

  • Drunken Grinch Birthday – Taco Issue is Out! Tons of Taco Pictures! – Letters About My Massage Article

    Of course I was a Grinch for my birthday. My mom told me not to grinch it. I grinched it. I mean… it was a fucking Tuesday. What did you expect? My birthday celebration was supposedly going to be Tacotopia on Saturday. But I had to work that weekend and I’m happy I did. Money…

  • Whiteboard Full of Missions – Early Hospital Photo Work (and Much More Work) – Birthday Depressed Word Vomit

    My girlfriend woke me up and surprised me with a cake and four lit candles. How cute. But I didn’t eat cake for breakfast. And those candles were the fuckers that light up by themselves after blowing on them. It looks delicious. I want some later on when I’m drunk and wanting some sweets. She…

  • Skipped My Blog For Two Days Because Work and Lazy – Birthday Boy Got To Work – B.J. Novak in Tijuana (Bonus: Mindy Kaling)

    I skipped my blog for two days. That’s the first time that I skipped two days in the same week. I skipped Friday (though I wrote it on Friday and published on Saturday morning). That makes it a total of 10 skips (I believe… let’s say 10). Saturday was understandably way busier than Friday (for…

  • Roles Reversed (I Work, She Sleeps) – Gator by The Bay Paid Event – Two Posts Today, Busy All Day

    Well… I’ve been sitting for more than an hour doing absolutely nothing and hoping I will get paid for this. Andy told me to be here between 9-10 am. I got here at 9 am. Nothing is happening. And I forgot my phone’s extra battery. Phone is already at 70%. Haven’t even opened Pokémon Go,…

  • Back to Taking Hundreds of Pictures Daily – Girlfriend Quit Her Job (She Couldn’t Be Happier) – I Have Two Whiteboards and Many Missions

    My girlfriend went to work this morning at her usual time. She went casual. No need to look super godínez. Before I woke up… she was already back. She quit her job. I haven’t seen her this happy in a while. She’s already looking for another job and I trust that she will get a…

  • Yep! It’s Mother’s Day! Everyone Post Pics of Your Mother! – Taking Pictures of Tacos Because It’s My Gig Now and I Got Published Three Times! – Bored Then Really Drunk, Didn’t See My Girlfriend At All Yesterday Which Made Me Sad

    There is too much in my mind. And when I have a lot in mind, the word vomit tends to be shitty. So beware, this is going to be shitty. It’s Mother’s Day. For starters, happy Mother’s day to all them mothers… BUT ESPECIALLY TO MINE BECAUSE SHE IS THE BEST MOM EVER (says everyone,…

  • Girlfriend Wakes Me Up And I Tell Her The Shittiest Joke – Shooting the Adventures of K-Wamo and Chris – Hipster Pictures with a 1960’s Seagull TLR Medium Format Film Camera

    I swear that my girlfriend’s favorite activity is to not let me sleep. She woke up at around 5 a.m. stressed because she is worried she is going to get fired. And bugged me. Didn’t let me sleep. The shittiest joke in the world occurred to me. She told me she couldn’t sleep because of…

  • Whores for Four and a Kid’s Birthday Party – Multiple Service Provider – Canelo vs Chavez and Melt-Banana!

    My life goes all crazy directions. One moment I’m at a kid’s birthday party, the next I’m in a brothel/strip club. My brother and his wife decided to have my little nephew’s party in a park in the middle of a fancy neighborhood far in Tijuana. Well… far for me. But it wasn’t really that…

  • My Word Vomit is Like Pringles – Some Bald Gringo Mother Fucker Threatened me – Business Cards, Zelda, and Guitar

    Alright! Let’s do this! I don’t really have nothing to say and it’s very gray outside. But I know once I start, I can’t stop. My word vomit is like Pringles. Once I pop, I can’t stop. Here’s an unrelated baby hippo. I’ve been browsing Imgur as much as Reddit lately. They are very similar…

  • 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…

  • 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…

    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…

    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…
