  • Word Vomiting Up in the Air – Goodbye Beautiful Mosquito World, Hello Again Bizzarro Border Town – Thousands of Pictures to Edit

    Goodbye mosquito world. I type this on Aeromexico Flight 718 destined to Mexico City while I scratch the red swollen mosquito bites of my left ankle. Picking the dried up pus and blood from the scabs. So many mosquito bites. Memories that fade. Mosquito bites that will go away. Can’t help but think that I…

  • Oaxaca in 6 Hours – Horrible Phone Word Vomit -I Started a Book

    There is a dude singing about god in the trolley. He has headphones on. He just yelp completely out of tune “Cristo Salvador.” Now he is murmuring still out of tune “quédese señor,” repeatedly. I’m going to try to ignore him. Line. I need a music device and headphones. Haven’t gotten lost in my music…

  • Everything is Hazy After Oaxaca – Feels Like Saturday and Gringo Friends are Coming to Tj Adventure – “El Bar” Spanish Movie Review

    Now there are only two days left for Oaxaca. And I’m nervous. Traveling always makes me a bit nervous. Last big travel I had was to Minneapolis and then a road trip to Tijuana with my college friends. Before that… nothing. I’ve been stuck in Tijuana far too long. Getting out for at least once…

  • Half Week Left, Vacation Mode Already On! – Word Vomit Coming to an End – CTM: Cindy Crawford

    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…

  • Last Day At Work for my Girlfriend (Party Tonight) – First Experience with Uber Eats (Order Incomplete) – Working on Organ Grinders, Looking for Comments!

    I’m supposed to be at my brother’s house right now doing him a favor. One of his clients needed to pick-up shirts. I woke up late for it, but I got dressed in a jiffy and wanted to go to the house and do him the favor. But… I suspect my girlfriend took the keys…

  • My Girlfriend The Destroyer – Missed the Secret Reddit Party (I Felt Sick) – Work Friday, Oaxaca Very Soon

    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…

  • Liquid Meth and an Unexpected Party – Be My Guinea Pig, Drink This 7-Up – Late Night Risk

    An unexpected party! That’s a chapter of The Hobbit if you didn’t know… It happened yesterday. Not like in The Hobbit. But there was a very unexpected Wednesday party. I did some splash photography for fun (and for an article, but mostly for fun). I should have used the flash. That picture originally was way…

  • Gardening 101: Killing my Mint Plant – Material Luckily Gathered – Not My Cover: Burt Reynolds (Ryan Reynolds Instead)

    I beat the fuck out of my mint plant… I hope it recovers. It already looks like it is recovering. The expensive soil I bought is much better than the shitty soil that I got in Mexico. The basil plant also looks much nicer. It looks like a little basil tree. The leaves are short…

    It’s odd to come back to this after skipping two days in a row. It’s like I forgot how to word vomit. I’m over thinking every sentence and I’m not sure how I manage to do it every day. I’m tired of it. That’s why I skipped it twice. It’s been almost the whole year…

  • Front Page Attempt Flops – Kimby TJ Adventure Time – Visiting the New House, Spending the Night in SD

    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…

  • Confusing Word Vomit in Two Far Farm Countries – Shooting Macro: The Gig is Fun, Is Not Often Enough – Ramona Ribs

    I’m sitting outside a Dunkin’ Donuts in downtown San Diego, drinking coffee and eating a granola bar. Neither are from DD (not Dungeons & Dragons). The establishment is packed with people. I wanted a breakfast sandwich. But granola and coffee from my brother’s office will suffice for now. I didn’t have time to word vomit…

    Marital issues. How dramatic. Mexico City trembles and so did my marriage. How fucking dramatic. I’m not even married. Mexico City. 32 years later decides to shake again.

    It’s 4:32 am and I’m depressed… My girlfriend just left for work in an Uber. She says she likes her job because she gets off work at 1 pm. But will get off work to come directly to bed and sleep…. She works so much… for so little. Oh well.. She’s quitting soon. I wished…

    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…

    I don’t have much to say and I’m hungry. Here’s the cover picture from yesterday. I’m not entirely thrilled with how everything turned out. But I got paid. So who cares. I don’t have much to say and I’m hungry. Coffee is weak. I should have thrown all in. I didn’t leave the house yesterday.…

    Yesterday was shit. I shaved my face and left only a mustache. A bad luck mustache. I left the house craving tacos varios from Tupidos. I got there and it was pretty packed, but the line seemed to be diminishing. So I said fuck it, how bad can it be? I waited for 10 minutes…

  • Monterrey Girls Tour Tijuana – Oaxaca Shakes and the World Worlds – Character Stories and Work (Getting Published)

    It’s weird to word vomit with guests in the house. More because they aren’t my guests, but my girlfriend’s. I don’t have the trust/confidence I usually do. And I can’t coffee coffee coffee workout. And it’s really early. Well… 9 am now. I woke up to an email canceling the one gig I had to…

    This is post 395. I’m close to posting 400 entries. Crazy stuff. It has been confirmed. Chad is no longer Tijuana Chad. His stint in this city has come to an end. I’m sure he would still visit. But it will never be the same. The Rumble Fest kids are all married. Well, not technically.…

    There was a dead body outside my apartment around midnight yesterday. I was about to go to bed after watching somewhat shitty stand-up comedy brought to you by Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias. Two Latinos. Gerry something and Rick something. I couldn’t make it all the way through in either of their specials. Both of them gave…
