  • 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…

  • This is the End – Undetermined Hiatus from Blog – No Halloween

    I have come to the conclusion that I am taking a hiatus from this blog. Stranger commented again and apologized for his previous comment while I was on the phone with my girlfriend. A conversation that continues until this point except via text instead of the phone. It was over two hours of a sad…

  • Benjamin Button Relationship – Friends Are Appreciated – Nothing is Copacetic

    I slept on the couch once more. I got home at around 3 am. I haven’t done a long night in Tijuana like that in a long long time. I’m waiting for my girlfriend to call me, so I’m not sure if I should start word vomiting. … there. Well. Nevermind. She is restarting her…

  • Drinking and Promoting Colimita IPA with the New Roommate – In Teléfonica Without Her – Long Distance Dawns on Me

    I treated Thursday like Friday. I thought it was Friday since early morning. It felt like Friday. I even told Los Compadres to have a good weekend! Those are the guys that make that super great shrimp enchilado tacos. It was not Friday. I realized it as I was walking away. I guess telling someone…

  • I Bought Beers for My Girlfriend Forgetting She’s Not Here – Taking Pictures of Old Guys – Responding to Stranger’s Comment

    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…

  • Reader Beer Guide Cover Picture (and More) – Day 1/Night 2 in a Long Distance Relationship – World Series and Still Sucking at NFL Fantasy

    Day 1 without her went totally fine. It was more like a regular day like when she went to work and I stayed behind and worked. I finished and sent an article. The other got published. I sent pay requests. I did the phone calls I needed to do. … sort of. Apparently, the people…

  • Juan Soldado with Amy (Ghost Story) – Night 1 and Day 1 Without Her – Countdown to the End of The Word Vomit

    Day 1 without her. Day 1 started pretty well. I woke up to see my piece on Juan Soldado getting published. Here it is! CLICK! It’s about my visit to Juan Soldado’s grave with Amy Venezia a medium psychic from Oregon. Here’s the Imgur gallery. It got downvoted to hell immediately on the page. Imgur galleries used…

  • Girlfriend Leaves Tonight – I’m A Busy Bee For the Next Weeks – CTM: Katy Perry & Russell Brand

    Done with the first article out of four! Should have done this last week but only did half of it. Sort of. It’s an old story. A spooky story. Perfect to run around Halloween time. Fuck. That’s already this week and that magazine already printed. Shit. Then perfect for right after Halloween? It’s not meant…

  • Girlfriend Packed Her Bags, Soon to Monterrey – Decision Made on Moving – Walked a Lot, Tacos, Beer, Pizza, Chess, Netflix, and Upstairs Party

    My girlfriend is packing her bags. She’s leaving. On a jet plane. Should be back again, around the new year. I probably will go to Monterrey to visit her. And then come back with her together. To our new apartment. To a new year. Yesterday was that. A lot of walking while apartment hunting. Breakfast…

  • Beer for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner! – New Favorite San Diego Brewery – More Mazunte Vacation Pics

    I just listened to the new Weezer. And I’m really sad for it. WTF? This doesn’t even sound like Weezer. Sounds like Katy Perry or some shit like that. Thanks Justin for forcing me to listen to this bullshit. Seriously. If this came up on the radio and wasn’t aware it was Weezer, I would…

    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…

  • 250 Days Together Come to an End: Last Week Together – NFL, Vacation Pictures, Much Work – Dreams of Paris Hilton

    SWOOP! Big swoop! Back to Tijuana and real life. Woke up to a million notifications after dreaming about Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky. They were running away from the paparazzi at LAX. I was just there returning for a flight but I also had my camera. So I started shooting her (Paris, Nicky who…

  • 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…

  • Day 6, Weather Has Turned Shitty – Intense Mezcal Dreams of Horny Nicotine Vampires – Roommate Breaks Up with Tijuana

    We both woke up real late again. It’s noon. But it feels like early morning. It’s cloudy and shitty outside. Like it was supposed to be the whole week. But it’s finally that five days later. I woke up first at around 7 am. After some very intense dreams. Some really dumb dreams. That included…

  • Day 2 to Day 5 in Oaxaca – Wedding, Mezcal, Beer, Random Food, Rinse, Repeat – 1250+ Pictures, No Way to Edit

    Day 2 of Oaxaca. We walked from Mazunte to San Agustinillo. It’s like a 20 minute walk. The sun and humidity are heavy. But we didnt’ care. Before getting to San Agustinillo, we bumped into my brother, his wife, and family, and my friend from childhood “El Killer.” They were headed our way. We were…

  • Oaxaca Day One, Almost No WiFi – Mosquitoes are Killing Me – Beach, Family, and Friends

    WiFi is very limited. I’m barely even going to write on my blog during this trip. Or well… that depends. I’m also typing on my girlfriend’s computer. She’s showing me how her pinky toe got swollen because she hit herself last night. She claims she bumped into me. I don’t remember. I just say yes.…

  • 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…

    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…

    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…
