Back to the Drawing Board – 2016 Mission Not Accomplished – If People Want Garbage, Might As Well
I was so close this summer to accomplish my goals. They offered me a gig that was pretty swell. I was happy. I was going to have constant work. Pretty easy work. And very well paid. Paid enough that if I wanted to move San Diego, I could have. But it never materialized. I underworked…

Heartbroken </3
You know that feel when your heart seems to sink down to your stomach, creating a knot, and then you are not able to eat? I just got that. I was on my way out for fish tacos when I received a rejection email. It felt like that immediately. I’m completely disillusioned. I had high…

Reddit Gold, Reddit Meeting, Much Delicious Karma mmm Yes – Stack of Covers
I grabbed a big stack of covers. I’m not really sure what for. It is nice to see the cover outside 7-elevens and such, but it is also fruitless. I wanna be like “hey! look, that’s my picture,” but people would just be like… “uhh so?” Yesterday in San Diego was great though. I haven’t…

Drinking, Sleeping, Waking Up Early – Reddit Addiction – Physical Cover Today
Yesterday was a very productive day. Besides the cover coming out, I got a lot of material from Pepe Nacho and I have an awesome way to write the story brewing in my mind. I guess my brain is like a brewery, it takes beer and ideas come up. Then I wake up early, very…

Crappy Job Offer – Cover is Out!!! – Pepe Nacho Interviewed
I received an email early with the title “Blogging Opportunity.” They invited me to write for a webpage called “MyTrendingStories.” They complimented my blog, told me about their project, and invited me to be a part of it. If you type on a google search “my trending stories” the second option is “my trending stories…

I Suck at Photoshop – Super Moon – My Cover Tomorrow
Since years ago that I left the paparazzi agencies, I haven’t used Photoshopped. My agency licensed my PS use, as well as Photo Mechanic, and a few nice other paid applications. When the licensing got canceled, I stopped caring. I also stopped shooting. Photography was dead to me. I had a revival in photography just last…

Trump Supporter in Tijuana – Reddit Meetup Next Saturday – Sigh
It’s dark by 5 pm. Which means my organic clock wants to drink earlier. Burgers, beer, tacos. That seems to be my diet. Yesterday was good, though slow. This morning is even slower. I went to Colectivo 9 for a burger and beer. A beer turned into beers because pretty girl was there. Pretty girl…

Busy Week, Elections and Crap – Perfect Saturday – Jeff Goldblum
I had one of the best Saturdays I had in a long long time. I was productive, I got material, I got photos, I garnered all I needed for this next week. Now this week I have to shape all that material into articles, work my ass off and get $$$. And I basically have…

Article Sent – I Didn’t Find Shrek – Work Weekend
I already lived my weekend this week with my friend el Pelón. Two days and nights of consecutive party on a Monday and Tuesday. Insane that we pulled it off. Only in Tijuana can you just party until the wee hours in the morning during weekdays. Wednesday felt like Monday, but it was slow day,…

Good News and Too Much in My Head – Looking for Shrek – Blocked
Yep. I did nothing yesterday except play Meat Boy. I played it all night as well. I’m actually a ranked player in many of those things. My highest ranking is 12… (this probably means nothing, but I like it). I tried working. I did. I wrote the intro paragraph 5 times. And deleted it each…

Halloween/Jalogüin – Forever a Cow – Courtney Love
Oh boy! What a week I had! The shitty part of the week. I’ve only written one article which = I’m not making much money. Especially because it was a food article and that’s almost no money. The best part… FUCKING HALLOWEEN. It’s so much fun. Pictures narrate my night better than I can with…

My Earliest and Healthiest Tour – Especiales While Sick – Verne Troyer
I had my earliest tour yet this Saturday at 11 a.m. I met with Michael, his fiancee, and his mom to get to know as many neighborhoods of Tijuana as we possibly can, since Michael is thinking about moving into town. We started with Playas, ate in Telefonica, went around Cacho and Chapu, far to…

Published but Need More – Great Drunk Thursday – Sick Friday
I finished the job I had to do. I wasn’t completely satisfied with it. I could have kept on writing. Make it long. Gamble more again. But I stopped myself and finished it short. I got published quicker than I thought. It usually takes a couple of days and sometimes even months to get published.…

An Odd and Incredible Monday – Forced into Femininity – If Only ….
If only …. If only I was always inspired to work, I would do so much more. But it is difficult. I have to finish an article today, not even sure where to start. And after that… I still don’t know where to go. Directions seem to always be a blur when freelancing everything and…

Weekend Was Amazing – Hating This Monday – Whitney Houston
I used to loathe Sundays. They always made me feel so numb. But nah… now Sundays are alright. I enjoy them. They are a break. It has NFL. I can do whatever the fuck I want. Everyone hates Mondays. Very Garfieldesque. But I am hating this Monday. It’s so mundane. HARHARHARHAR After my awesome Thursday,…

Finally Laundry – Bisho the Contortionist – Getting Paid
At the laundromat. I never used a public one in any city I have ever lived in, except Tijuana. This laundromat seems like it hasn’t changed in decades. In college there was the basement laundry both Freshmen and Sophomore year. Not the same dynamic. Junior and Senior year housing came with washing/drying machine. …

Day 5 of No Response – Photography Gig and Beer – Still Uncertain Thus is The Freelance Life
It’s been 5 days since I sent the story and no reply. Yesterday I sent another email asking again. Today is that special Tuesday, and it’s not only because tap Tuesday, but because today I send pay requests. Uncertainty makes me not know how much money I’m making. But I guarantee myself a few hundred…

Reposting for Karma – Uncertainty Leads to Depression – Media Log 2011
Welp. A weekend has passed and still no response. So my check for this week is uncertain and I am tired of that and it makes me sorta depressed. So I’m back to broke again. But I’m alright. I did some other work that will pay me alright. I can afford rent. And I still…

Uncertainty Eats My Soul Away – Fried Chicken Friday – Writing Like a Maniac
So… I’m basically posting in here everyday. And not only that. Working a lot everyday. This past two days I work in one article that was meant to be around 500-800 words long. But I got inspired and ended up writing 1,700. It is a different type of article too. I don’t think I ever…

Early Morning Jazz – Blogging Everyday – Haitian Chicken Fight Song
Charles Mingus Haitian Fight Song loops in my head. I played this song on my sophomore year in college. In fact, I met with the Mingus Big Band for a master class. The song starts with a bass solo. I was the bassist. I wasn’t good. The whole class was mostly focus on the intro…

IAmA on Reddit was a Bust – Daily Existential Crisis – No Celebrity!
Hey! I feel like writing a lot. Like I always do. But this time I can spew my non-sense freely without digging through my hard drive to post old pictures of celebrities that I took. I’ll keep doing that when the right person pops in my head. Or I’ll most likely continue the Monday tradition to…

Sick Sweaty Good Week – Uncancellations – Lady Gaga
It was a good week. Even though I was sick for half of it. It was more than a good week. Last week… my beer gig thing for San Diego Beer Week got canceled. Then this week… it got uncanceled. So now it’s back! I am the curator of Baja Beer day in San Diego’s…

Job Cancellations on Post 98 – Toros de Tijuana Beisbol – Adriana Lima
It’s cloudy. There might be rainstorms. I already missed it a bit yesterday, but I might get one of those awesome lightning pictures. It’s been quite some time that I’ve desired this. Probably my whole life. I had an inspired week. A weird week (like always). A meaningless and meaningful week. A lot of action.…

Canceled Week – Cheeseburger Picnic Party – Lauren Bacall
Last week was supposed to be amazing. I had this three day beer tour event invitation to just enjoy beer everything paid. It got canceled. Plans fell through, and I fell with them. My week was wasted in absolute nothingness. When I said I was going to work, I ended up frozen in time, procrastination…

Yes, People Die – Juan Gabriel Made Me a Paparazzo – Sly Stone
Yes. People die. Juan Gabriel yesterday, and now Gene Wilder. The flood of posts on social media is outstanding. I feel like this trend generated a couple of years ago. I remember 2014 as many people posting dead celebrity news and the world weeping. That year everyone was like “how many 2014?” It was the…
