  • No Glamping but Mazunte, Oaxaca Soon – Astrophoto Workshop and Other Dreams – Shrimp/Octopus Tacos, Oysters, and Poke Delivery by Ancla Roja

    Waking up at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning sucks. It’s 9:41 a.m. and time has been still for those three hours. Coffee. TV. Internet. Coffee. Nothing else. Saturdays. You are not supposed to work. My girlfriend is at work. I don’t have much to do. The dude I want to interview is not there…

  • Visiting Camp Pendleton – Inside Full Spread Pictures Are My Favorite – Feast Next Week

    I wrote about the upcoming traffic hell and got published (here). I started the article with Spanglish. Then I suffered my own traffic hell of my own. Some people have it much worse.

  • Chile IPA, Vegan Sausage, Sunday Fight, Weird Dreams – Taking Pictures of Famous Rapper in Studio – Rob $tone

    Oh boy! I had a weird weekend! Also… woke up from really weird dreams. Seriously. One of my dreams was that my nutsack stretched to the ground… and suddenly, for no reason, it was cut from my body. And I had to leave it in the bathroom sink. Stretched nutsack filling the drain with blood…

  • Necromancer Time with Cousin – More Foodporn for Tijuana Adventure (but no tours) – Schedule Continues to be Fucky

    1:21 pm! I’m barely even starting my day. Oh yeah. I’m not working. So I can later complain about how I’m not working.

  • Talking About The Photo Game With Can Gato Ibiza (My Brother) – Tons of Pictures of Food, Friends, Family, and More (Mom’s Birthday!) – No Celebrity Monday

    It’s celebrity throwback Monday and I don’t give a fuck. I’m not posting a celebrity. Instead, here: I started clipping the magazines with my pictures.

  • Sunrise and Sunset iPhone Pics – Roommate is Home, Party Time! (Just Kidding, I Didn’t Do Much) – Mom’s Birthday Tomorrow

    I don’t know where to start today. Coffee coffee coffee. That new expensive coffee I’m trying is okay in flavor, but not really strong. Maybe it’s because I’ve been drinking that cheap muddy strong coffee for a while now. But nah. I threw in a bunch of coffee beans, more than usual, ground the fuck out…

    Good morning word vomit of a blog! …. AND! …. I am fucking sick again. I got the sniffles all day yesterday. But I didn’t think much about it. It was just a bit of a nasal congestion. I felt okay. I did a longer and harder workout than what I’m used too (finally, 100…

    Yay! I’m 80% done with the article. Or so it feels. Of course, I’m not happy with it. But I’m never happy with any of my articles. My girlfriend read the very rough draft and she likes it. The article still has a lot of parts that just read EXPAND or FIX THIS PART or…

    Hmmm… Let’s see. It’s Saturday. When I started the daily word vomit, I should have really thought about the weekend as resting time. But my days didn’t mean weekend back then.

    Saturday doesn’t feel like a Saturday when every day is a Saturday. My computer was running extra slow this morning. My brain is running slow as well. Before my girl got off from work, I went to buy her an iPhone protector yesterday. I also got her a SIM card so she can actually use…
