  • Goth Kids Photoshoot and Puppies – Nett Nett Radio and Space – Upcoming Eater Contributor

    Pain fucking Mondays. But I feel alright. I cleaned the cats litter box. That was disgusting. Because I’m a lazy POS, I let it accumulate. Not the shit… the empty litter bags. There were over a dozen empty litter bags piled up. I crushed them all and put them inside one litter bag so I…

  • Bills, Taxes, Adulting – More Shoots, More Covers – Pop-up Store, Showroom, Photo Sessions (at Nett Nett)

    Holy fuck… I’m exhausted. And I haven’t even had breakfast. I just filed my 2020 taxes. And fuck. Taxes are scary. Especially when you are not sure what you are doing and you have to file freelance taxes from three different sources. And I paid for my car insurance. And I paid for some more…

  • Shooting from the Air, Shooting from the Ground – Moody Monday – Babe + Sunset + Studio Lights

    Dark have been my dreams of late. Not really dark. Weird. Weird dreams. Weird days. This last dream involved my friend Mora and Pablo. Not sure why those two were there. But they were. And in that dream, we were trekking a snowy mountainside that had ocean waves crashing on the side. A mix of…

  • March 2021: Haircute and a Busted Lip – Bars Reopened in TJ – Future Photo Showroom

    AHH!! I skipped my blog last week. And today… I was thinking of skipping today as well. There are too many things in my mind. Work things. Many work things. I think I just book a wedding. A paid wedding. A nicely priced wedding (at a discount because she’s a friend). And trying to do…

  • Super Bowl Shit – Steady Cover Photo Life – Prints Are Expensive As F

    Well… That Super Bowl game was shit. I wanted the Bills to win it since I got Diggs as my wide receiver and I was loving what I saw from the team. I never really liked the Bills or their fans, but I was digging this team. And my cousin Dennis is a huge fan…

  • February 2021: María’s Cover Story – Patreon is Activated – Prints for Sale

    I don’t have hot water, so fuck showering today. It’s cold and cloudy out anyway. I just came back from a long walk. It was fruitless. Yesterday I walked for a long ass time as well. It was good. I did some drone photography and printed my most popular picture as of yet, the Tormenta…

  • 2 Years of Afterlife – Where Am I Headed? – All Sorts of Photoshoots

    I don’t know where I’m headed, but I’m going straight there. It’s my niece’s birthday tomorrow. It’s been exactly two years since my mom died. It feels like it was forever ago. Maybe it was because of the non-existent 2020. The eternal bond of mother and child broke. My mom and I had a strong…

  • 2021 Off to a Horrible Start – Books Discounted, Books Promoted – Luminar Software Review

    Where have my days in 2021 gone?! I swear I already wrote a blog or two this year. Nope. Nothing. The end of 2020 changed nothing. Every day I wake up late and do fucking nothing. Every night I tell myself “tomorrow you are going to wake up early, workout, prepare some breakfast, and do…

  • Word Vomit Continues All 2021 – Fucking Life – Motivation to Nothingness

    I don’t know what I am doing… all I know is I really want to do it. Be productive. 2020 drain all my motivation and find it again it’s going to be a bitch. But I want it. I’ve been watching YouTube tips on how to sell more on Amazon, which makes me realize that…

  • Letter to Mom – Farewell 2020 and Hi To The Uncertain 2021 – Flying to Texas

    Hi Mom, What a shit year. You would have hated it. Even though Trump is voted out and you would have loved that… it would have been a weird and confusing year. You hate hospitals. If your last year was this year… you would have hated it more. I miss you like crazy. That’s a…

  • X-Mas Set and Flying Around – Pay What You Can or Texas Time – Bye-Bye Fantasy Football and Books

    I woke up to the sounds of Transformers fucking outside my window. There are issues with the water pipes and drainage on my street. Trucks and other equipment are making a shit ton of mechanical sounds and rock/cement breaking. It sounds like Transformers fucking. I have been doing fucking nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. I have…

    I sold one book all of November. And it wasn’t even my new book, it was the Tijuana Adventure book. You can buy that HERE. Or my new book, here! The Amazon rating for my books is the lowest it has ever been. Neither of them are on the top #100 of their category. How…

  • Story Sold, Books Not So Much – Baja Adventure Travels – NFL and Other Fantasías

    I sold the story. Fear and Loathing in La Baja sold to the regular bidder and the only place I submit my stories, the San Diego Reader. It should be a cover or a feature story in the near future. There are only 10 weeks left to 2020. It should be one of those 10 weeks.…

  • The Final Point, Astro Photos in La Baja – Five-Star Reviews on Paparazzi Daze – Not Many Book Sales…

    I applied for a job this morning. I am not certain if it’s for me, but it might be. A few people ask me to do a podcast. It’s a podcast related type of job. If I get it, it will be a new life. It’s a serious job. And one that would benefit my…

  • My Fan Died, Need Thousands More – Paperback and Digital Download Available – Buy the Book!

    My best and only fan died this morning. I woke up early to the smell of something burning. I drunkenly kicked the fan before going to bed. That kick might have killed the engine. The fan gets kicked around often and it’s filthy with cat hair. Maybe that also did it. It’s hot in my…

  • Paparazzi Daze / Celebrity Encounters – Corona is Over? – Buy Buy BUY My Book(s)

    IT HAS BEEN DONE!!! My book about my paparazzi times is complete (sort of). This is not the official cover but one done by a friend of mine: The official cover will be similar, but different font and other different details. The back cover needs to be designed as well… and I’m not sure what…

  • Sneks and Cover Shots – Job Offer and Interview – Halfway Done with the Paparazzi Book

    I woke up at 7:17 a.m. I was waiting for an email for the one gig I have. Two emails really. A gig I wanted to take care of last week but the people in the story are not making it easy to meet them. It’s set for tomorrow. One gig. Three photo things. It…

  • It’s Mom’s Birthday and 2020 Still Sucks – More Covers, More Word Vomit – Unboxing a Case of Mystery Beer

    It’s my mom’s birthday. She would’ve been 63. And she would have been hating this year. This year fucking sucks. She would have enjoyed yesterday though. Yesterday was a good day. And if she was around, she would be with us. I went with my brother, his wife, and his kids to pick strawberries in…

    It’s 3:33 p.m. I woke up late. I just had breakfast. Not even halfway through my morning routine and the day is almost over… I slept all day yesterday. I wrote half a chapter of my next book. Then it was too damn hot to do anything. I laid down for a second. Next thing…

  • June is Finally Here – Sexy Misty Cosplay Shoot (I Do Not Sleep With My Models) – Hollywood is Racist (Duh) and My Next Book

    June is Finally Here is a great song by Don Caballero. Hella, Don Caballero, and Tera Melos (and some Lightning Bolt). I listened to them a lot in 2007. Ever since then I listen to a shit ton of math rock. The book I’m writing is going great! The other book… I get one sale…

    My car didn’t pass smog on the first attempt. I went to a place called “Smog Centro” in National City after a gig taking pictures of a chef who was delivering craft meals to senior citizens. It was late afternoon and a quick google search told me most smog places were closing, so I went…

  • Post 556: Paparazzo Daze Book – Looking For Roommate (Again) – I’m Getting Older and Drunker

    Post 556. That’s a lot of posts. Been blogging for almost 10 years now. I wish I thought about book writing through Amazon years ago… My really old blog posts still get a ton of visitors, like the Britney Spears one. I just wrote that chapter for my second book. Turns out, I didn’t need…

  • New Studio Lights (Thanks, Andy) – Beer Reviews on the YouTube – Motivation Manifest Yourself Please

    I should blog and do some work… but let me smoke and play some Starcraft. And then… I don’t do anything. I wake up late because most of us wake up late in these weird times. It’s May. Mother’s Day was yesterday and I cried a bunch. By myself. Because we are all alone. Speaking…

  • YouTube Beer Reviews and Sexy Photo Shoots – Controversial Cover – Starcraft with Friends

    It feels like I haven’t written anything in a long time. I guess two weeks is a long time. I remember I got busy. I’m not sure how or when or what I did. But I got busy. I did one photoshoot for the magazine, I haven’t done that in what feels like years. It…
