  • Ensenada Adventure – New Baby! – And More Lightworks!

    Shit! Just got back from Ensenada a couple hours ago. I thought I had a tour today. So I bucket showered in a rush and was about to go out when my client said “uhh… I think we didn’t communicate right, the tour is tomorrow.” Dumbass me. So I have time to rest. Tomorrow I…

  • Korean Tacos and Craft Beer – I Love Tijuana – I Love My TV

    It was like my dream came true. I dreamt of the Cherry Bomb Sour by Strange Craft Beer Company, and I got something similar. A Sour IPA by Lúdica/Kaminari. It’s not nearly as good, but it was surprisingly well done. I had to message the brewer to ask him about hops and other ingredients. It…

  • I Had a Dream, That I Was Drinking Beer – Tacotopia Invites!!! – Marylin Manson

    I’ve been sleeping weird and having weird dreams. Today I woke up again at 5 am. Couldn’t go back to bed…. YEP I DID! I forced myself to it. But I remember waking up and thinking “ohhhh shit, here we go again, no sleep again!” I also remember a weird dream very very briefly. I’ve…

  • Headache, Backache, and No Sleep… – But Great TJ Adventure – Skipped a Day

    I skipped my blog yesterday for the first time all year! Also… didn’t do a single push-up! And I feel bad about it. How silly of me. Like I need to inform the internet of what I do everyday. But maybe someday, I’ll go back and read at all the idiotic shit I wrote. I…

  • Korean Tacos is Last Food Article – Out All Day and Sleep All Day – Help Me! Weird Letter!

    THIS is my last food article with the Reader for now… It’s about KoMe, Korean tacos that are great! Obviously, that wasn’t my title. I actually dislike using question marks in any titles. The answer is usually a simple YES or NO. So the title of the article is Korean Tacos? The answer is YES. Korean…

  • Trolly to UC La Jolla – San Diego Hangin’ – Weird Letter

    Yesterday was better. Hung out with my San Diego buddies. Had some In N’ Out, talked about work, played videogames, and dicked around. I had a main goal, to pick up my mail. There was some mail at the office. Some at my friend Brozo’s place. Brozo had to go to the office, so I…

  • The End of An Era – Two Constants in My Life – San Diego For Two Days

    ANDDDDD I woke up really early and couldn’t go back to bed. Nope. Not this time. Bisho cuddles weren’t enough to make sleep happen again. Yesterday was a bad day. Just before going to do laundry I got a couple of emails from an editor. I worked with many editors. I have been an editor myself.…

  • Hate Today Sucks – Beer and Stand Up Talk – Of Osiris and Bisho

    I woke up today before dawn. Waking up real early is already a sign of fuck today. Hate today. Today Sucks. Then watched Netflix. The end of Rick & Morty for the 10th time. And Jim Gaffigan’s new special. OHHH Gaffigan. So predictable. I have his DVD King Baby. I bought over a decade ago.…

  • Rainy Monday Future Studies- Hello New People – Meryl Streep

    Wow. Can I oversleep or what?! I slept super early. Around midnight. I woke up way past 1 pm. I wouldn’t do this if I had much to do. But right now I still don’t know what I’m doing. Working I guess. I have a few things going on this week. Got to cross at…

  • I Don’t Like It, Mexico Should Get Violent – My Peace Studies Major – NFL To Ignore

    I… uh…. don’t like writing about shitty news. For the first time in 5 years I am telling people not to come visit. Shit is weird right now. And I don’t like it. I don’t like writing shit that is negative. But it is the truth. Though I don’t like it. Shit is fucked. People…

  • MarioKart and a Car – Gasolinazo Protests – Mad Max Mexico

    Well.. Yesterday I woke up earlier than usual. Then I said fuck it. And overslept again. But my mind was still active. I kept thinking about writing about what Mexico is going through right now. And so I did. I told my editor, he said ASAP, and 2 hours later I sent him an article.…

  • Uber/Lyft Driving – Writing Hiatus – Friday Already! And Mexico is Going to Shit!

    Friday already! Shit! Week went by and I did…. nothing! At least I’m getting paid for a story I wrote. The story is about eating these: It’s a good story. I have no idea when it’s coming out. Speaking about stories, I’m taking a writing hiatus. Not here. I love my word vomit. It feels…

  • Lost at Risk – Procrastination Nation – Oversleeping

    The roommate finally came home yesterday. I used his homecoming (after almost a month) as an excuse to just sit on the couch, not touch my computer and not work. We had Risk later that night. Chad barely even paid attention to the board. He was the one with the least experience. He ended up…

    It’s day 3 of 2017. We have suffered an internet Timequake. And we went back to the year 2007. Reddit’s front page posts are as old as the internet themselves.

    I’m not big on planning. Plans never go the way I want them too. But I need a plan to fix my life. I woke up to a few emails I didn’t like. And yep yep yep. I’m going to complain and say I want to give up. It feels like when you are taking…

    I’m not big on New Years. I gave up on it ages ago. It’s just not worth the hype of anything. Last year’s NYE was pretty damn good. My brother organized a family reunion with amazing food. Before midnight I was back home and on top of my roof to take pictures of fireworks. After…

    It had to happen eventually, right? Gorgeous girl walks into my favorite bar. Doesn’t look at me, but orders a caguama, and goes straight to the jukebox. Plays my favorite Beatles song (Happiness is a Warm Gun)… and three others. She sits a couple of stools next to me at the bar. Next song is…

    I woke up early with a sharp headache. I couldn’t concentrate. Water, aspirin, shrimp tacos, coffee, more water… nothing helps it. It’s almost gone now, but it’s still there. I didn’t even drink much yesterday (4 beers and an especial). But it’s like all that I drank on Sunday hit me like a train way…
