  • 12 Weeks, 3 Days: Mexico City/Querétaro Vacation Next Month – Lovely Suicidal Thoughts – Financial Woes

    12 Weeks, 3 Days. I just bought a ticket to Mexico City from May 22nd to June 4th. Before and after buying it, I was stressing out over financial concerns. I still fucking bought it. $150 was the total. I need tacos before I continue. I need to write for profit instead of writing to…

  • 12 Weeks, 2 Days: Tijuana Netflix Review – Good Days/Bad Days – Depression and Food Poisoning Weekend

    12 Weeks, 2 Days. There are good days. There are bad days. Good days can be great. Bad days are horrible. Good days are when I get to work and my job is fun and satisfying. Bad days are when little things happen and my brain goes to “fuck everyone.” And it was a wild…

  • 11 Weeks, 2 Days: Busy Afterlife – Great Show at Mous Tache (PLEASURES) – Brunch of Photo Shoot (and Many More to Come)

    11 weeks, 2 days have gone by. It still feels like if I went out to college or just not living near my mom like I did for a long time. Then after 3 or 4 months of not seeing her. I would get home. That comfort of home. That’s gone forever. And that’s why…

  • 10 Weeks, 3 Days: Still Miss Her, Still Sucks – There Are Good Days (and Tons of Work) – Addicted to Tetris 99 (and one victory!)

    I woke up at 4:35 a.m. to the sounds of “Estos Celos” by Vincente Fernández. It was playing loudly from a car idling on the red light on the corner of my building. That’s my old roommate’s go to song in karaoke. His Spanish gets worse as time goes by. Then it felt heavy. My…

  • After Life: 9 weeks, 3 days – Gay Partying – Depressed but Still Okay (There’s Good Days)

    9 weeks, 3 days. After Life. I spent all day yesterday destroyed from a massive hangover induced by heavy drinking since early and ending up in the gay bars with my gaybor and his friend. That’s my gay neighbor = gaybor. 2 caguamas at Dandys. My gaybor joined me then (it was around 2 pm).…

  • First Blog of 2019: The Most Painful Year – Going to Church, Work, and Therapy – My Mom Always Read This Stupid Stuff

    I knew 2019 was going to be shit. I never imagined it would begin in the most painful way… I haven’t blogged or written much for obvious reasons. Those who know me know what happened. The person that I love the most in my whole life is gone. It’s difficult to type or write anything…

  • The End of 2018 (A Pretty Good Year After All): Getting Over Depression and BG – First Hot Shower in Years – 22 and 1/2 Total Cover Pics to End the Year

    I woke up very depressed… The end of the year is not what it was supposed to be. And I want it to be 2020 already. Please. This last week felt more like a month. Or even longer. I had one photo gig. A fun one. I did it all mopey and depressed. I was…

    I’m blogging when I shouldn’t be blogging… I’ve had a weird week. And here I am… The year is about to end. I’m not sure what I’m doing next year except I have a new weekly distributing gig, so nice guaranteed money. And I still have the photo gig. And I’m still writing. And I…

  • Early December: NFL Fantasy Playoffs (en Español) – Back to Work – Back to Finding a Car to Buy

    I have to pull the trigger soon. Just be brave. And do it… Pull the effing trigger. And buy a car. It’s been around a year that I’ve been looking at cars. At some point, I almost got a 90s Bronco for free. That didn’t happen. Then there was some talk of a free Honda…

  • End of November: Not the Ideal Way To End The Year – Waste of a Month, 2019 is Near – Venting (It’s Really Over With Bumble Girl Now)

    I was wrong. I thought we were going to end up as friends. She is great. She has a big heart. She’s good towards everyone. After the things she said almost two weeks ago, it should have ended there. She said nothing but friends. That’s where I should have stopped. But we kept talking. And…

  • Sad End of the Year: Losing in Fantasy and Everything Else – Migrant and the Drama Llama

    It’s some sort of holiday in Mexico. It’s some sort of holiday in the US. It means nothing to me. I had a horrible Monday after having a great weekend. It all started to go downhill on Sunday… When she left. And I started missing her. Then, on Monday, I got that dreaded text. “Let’s…

    I got sucker punched on my face last night after exiting Nelson around 1 a.m. or so. That’s how this story begins. It was a crazy Monday. It was a crazy weekend. It has been some very interesting days since I met her. Yes. The Bumble girl I met and that I like. We are…

    Do you smell that? If you do. What a terrific sense of smell. Winter is here. I woke up at 3:33 a.m. after forcing myself to stay at least until past 11 p.m. watching the new House of Cards. No more… oh shit. I already forgot his name. KEVIN SPACEY! I had to google K-Pax…

    I am sad. So I am going to blog for a bit. I am sad for a stupid reason. And I should focus on the positive instead of on the negative. The negative. Something I wanted got delayed. Also, I lost in Fantasy Football (again). Not that bad. The positive. I’m getting paid. I have…

  • (Fast) September 2018: 3/4 Covers and a Photowalk – Depression, PoGo, and Fantasy NFL – Pointless Writing

    I just got back from a Pokémon special raid event to catch a Deoxy. It was disappointing. I expected a difficult battle… nope. It was easier than Mewtwo. I got there at 11:00 a.m. just like the game told me too. There were already 20+ people there and one of the leaders of the Whatsapp…

    How do I do this? I’m not sure. Life is so fucking weird. Just reading what happened last month… It was the World Cup. And that shit already feels like it happened forever ago. Nope. It was just a month ago. Move on. Liga MX time. I only watch Gallos game. And so far so…

    April was an incredibly busy month. And a very good one as well. I haven’t taken these many pictures since the ole’ paparazzi days. And only one cover picture… This one: That was on April 2nd. Where I also took some other pictures for the magazine, but the cover was something else. I also took…

    March ended in an angry tone. It took me more than two days to let my anger go. I’m still pretty angry. March was busy in general. I also got sick again. The weather has been weird. My memory sucks. I can barely remember what I did the whole month. Let’s see… I had another…

    February was a slow short month. I didn’t do nearly as much work as I should have. And I’ve been sick for the past three days. Still sick right now. My nose and lips are so fucking dry. My head still hurts a bit. And I get cough attacks. It’s near the end of it…

  • The Unimpressive Last Word Vomit – Top 5 Music Influences of ALL TIME – THANKS FOR PLAYING…!!!

    Two really weird things happened last night: I cooked in my house instead of going out to eat. I did some shitty linguini with ground beef, mushrooms, and… Ragu. But hey… I don’t get to choose a lot of good ingredients from my vicinity… I didn’t go out to Nelson or to drink in general.…

    Well… I was going to skip the word vomit today. The one before the very last. Not because I wasn’t feeling like it… but because I was busy. My brother picked me up at 8:00 a.m. to cross the border so I can borrow the car and do a simple gig. Pictures for a story…

  • A Myriad of Indecision – Early Drinking with Santa for Cover – The Finish Line is Near

    Life is a myriad of indecision and self-doubt. That is why people opt to believe in god(s). Life is much easier when higher powers decide for you. If you succeed, it was god’s plan. If you fail, it was gods’ plan. Nothing really matters. Metallica. The end of the blog is near. Mom was supposed to…
