Never Met Rafa Saavedra – TJ Times and Existence – Tap Tuesday Helps to Ponder Writer’s Block
I don’t know much about Rafa Saavedra except what I’ve heard from people and the quotes that float around in la city. I’ve written snippets of his work here and there. I’m reading some right now. He died before my TJ times. He is considered a legend of Tijuana writing. A master of Spanglish. Somewhat…

Bisho Santa – Lazy NFL Sunday After Sporadic Solo Tijuana Saturday Adventure – Mamut, Tacos Varios, Teorema, Cine Tonalá, and Chips
It’s lazy NFL Sunday. Yep. My fantasy team is doing horrible again. At least Derick Carr did something at the end of the game. Fucker almost left me with no points. Also. I got published. I wrote that yesterday because I treated my Saturday as a workday. And it paid off. I should treat more…

Fire Next Door, This is Fine – Brewery Shoot, Bar Shoot – 2:20 AM Anxiety, Depression, Lack of Motivation, You Know It
5:33 am. Woke up at around 2:20 am. I don’t know how shit got weird if it felt like I was doing really fine. I went back to feeling like this: And literal in California right now… After I posted the word vomit… I was ready to go for breakfast. And then I realized I…

Bowling With the Bosses and My Mom – Back to Guitar and Random Great Wine – Work… ?
It’s so impossible to get out of the new bed. Especially when not truly inspired to work. I always want to send stuff that I didn’t pitch. The winds are fucking crazy. My plants are shuffling like crazy. I’m not sure if the basil plant is going to survive. I’m so fucking sore. My left…

Got a Present: New Bed – And A New NEW Roommate – Kool 52 and Tacon Veggie Reviewed – Holiday Party at TVRN Bowl Today!
Skipping the blog for a day always seems problematic. Like I lose the flow. Even for just one single day. I treated yesterday like the weekend. I shouldn’t have. But I still did. Sort of just happened. My rebound visited me. After going back and forth deciding if she would or not. I don’t know…

Wild Kitten Dreams and Missing Her Dearly – Hipster Paparazzo Disaster Avoided – Marco Antonio Solís
It’s almost noon and I just got out of bed… And just remembered… I had a very wild dream. Woke up at 8 am. Thought about writing about it. Fell back asleep and barely remember what it was. It involved my ex. I remember we told each other that we miss each other. And that…

Two Tijuana Adventures in a Row – Hipster as Fuck: Craft Beer, Tacos, Pop-Up Stores, Teléfonica, Crickets, Mezcal, Drag Queens and Street Tacos

Menudo and Depression – Reading DT’s Tweets at 4 A.M. – Cover Photo Need to Work on Cover Text
Menudo and depression is what’s for breakfast. Not Menudo the band. That would actually be more depressing. Maybe. I posted yesterday that I’m happy I’m on a new schedule that I’m not waking up at dawn anymore. Guess who woke up way before dawn with all those beautiful thoughts of “life is shit you should…

Shave and a Haircute – Favorite Stranger Things – Boring Shit/Work Time
96% of the blog space is used. Another reason I’m almost done with it. It being the blog. And so I can wake up every morning and write books instead of word vomits. Or so is the idea. Hey. I’m back to a more normal schedule! Shit. It’s almost noon and I woke up not…

Don’t Be An Asshole – December is Coming, Last Month of Blogging – Emmy Rossum (and Adam Duritz)
Don’t be an asshole. That’s the life lesson from Dr. John Kitchin, aka, the Slomo dude that rollerblades along the boardwalk at Pacific Beach. Great reporting by the New York Times. I’ve seen the dude multiple times. I’ve heard the rumors that he can’t see faces and that he has a nice house by the…

Bye Nelson, Hi Chips – Deck 22 Not For Me – Slayer + Growls = Life
I haven’t been in this bar in years. I never took my ex here. My first true TJ self. I never took her to Nueva Pachanga. My other true self. Well…. just the night we met. Then Zacas. And we never went back. I never dared taking her to those places. True raw gross Tijuana. It…

Wasting Inconsistent Days – Drugs Are Bad Mmmkay – College Rebound
I woke up super hungover today. Bad. It hasn’t been that bad for a while. But I’ve nursed it good enough. Ordered Uber Eats. Two sandwiches from “Buendwich.” The first one was a breakfast sandwich. It was alright. Nothing spectacular. I could make a better breakfast sandwich. The second one awaits and I’m going to…

Pink Sunsets and Interview at Norte – Hanging Out with Sophie (and More) – Full Circle of a Small Tj Life
I have to go to a place I’ve never been today to take pictures for the special issue. I’m sort of nervous I’m not sure why. A new cover comes out tomorrow. And I think it’s going to be my favorite cover so far. You’ll have to wait and see. I’m excited for this one.…

My Truth About Hollywood Scandals – The First Chapter of a Book I Never Wrote – CTM: Talking to Elijah Wood
Uhh… I should uhh… Write something. You know. For work. I haven’t done that since the last thing that got published. And I did one photo gig. And one special edition. I guess that’s enough. I have three to work on in the hopper. And character stories that come and go. I should write something.…

Beer Beer Beer and NFL – Video Games Like a Little Kid – A Good Roommate to Have
It’s NFL Sunday. I’m an idiot and I’ve been waiting for this. Again, I’m last in my Fantasy league. And this round is no different. I’m going to lose the week. At least it seems like I won’t be the worst one of them all. It still does me no good. I had messages from…

Lucha Libre with Rumble Girl and Chucuchu – Forced Myself to Party Until 3:30 a.m. – Back to Tacos and Beer
9:44 am on a Saturday and I wake up feeling great. Yesterday was a great day/night. I came home at 3:31 am after a long night of partying. I didn’t even want too. I got convinced to do so. And I am happy that I did. It feels like Sunday. But there’s no NFL. I’m…

Stranger Things Reviewed – Hanging Out with Other Writers – Happiness in Loneliness
I skipped the blog yesterday. Oops. Wednesday I didn’t do anything but work and be sick. And then at night time… I watched… STRANGER THINGS. For the first time ever. And holy shit. What a dumbfuck I have been for not watching it before. Yep. I just started season 1. And I binged watch the…

Taking Refuge in Music – Yoshi’s Ramen and Breakfast Croissant at La Marque – New NFL Cover, Went to San Diego for Another Cover!
Alrighty! Yep. I’m sick. I went through two rolls of toilet paper and dozens of napkins yesterday. Today is more of a sore throat. My nose already hurts. I should shave the mustache. I have to leave in like 30 minutes to go do a photo gig that I’m missing. I have to deliver by…

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…
