Insane Phone Call This Morning – Jeb Depression and Texas Back-up Fantasy – NFL Semana #11
I just hung up from the most insane phone conversation I have ever had in my life. First of all. I hate the phone. So fuck that shit. I remember talking on the phone with a girl for the first time when I was in middle school. It was the most boring shit ever. I…

Whole Lot of Nothing and Everything – Cover Picture Out Today (Cover Love Story Out Soon) – NFL Fantasy Güiching Auer
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…

Drone Adventures – Flying is my New Favorite Thing – NFL Fantasía Semana #8
I want to fly!!! That’s all I want to do. My friend Danny, a guy I toured a few years ago, lent me his DJI Mavic Mini. A nifty little drone that weighs 249 grams, making it legal to fly in most places in the United States. In Mexico, drone laws are a bit confusing…

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…

Ugh… Amazon is taking forever. I’m trying to upload the latest cover design for my book but it’s not going through. Just stays in “processing your files…” I need to update the manuscript as well… The latest revision is being done by the sensei master himself, Chad. His book is also coming out soon! And…

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…

Donatella Died, Valle de Guadalupe Trip – Sex Change – “Paparazzi Daze” Book 63.7% Done
The longer I go without writing, the harder it gets to get back to it. It has happened to me before. It is happening to me again. You forget just how you do it. How do I just sit here and word vomit so much? How did I write a book about Tijuana in a…

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…

TJ Adventure is FREE FREE FREE (Digital Edition) – Life Seems Stretchy – Paparazzi Book is Coming Along Nicely!
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…

Donatella is in Danger – Did Some Gigs, Reviewed Some Beers – Sexy / Nerdy Photoshoot
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…

Deleted Instagram – Depressed From Doing Nothing, Doing Nothing Because Depressed – Purgatory on Earth
I woke up more depressed than I usually am. More than I have been in a year. My heart feels heavy and everything annoys me. Like my own life. I deleted Instagram because I check it every 10 seconds. After all, there is nothing to do. It is probably not healthy to be on that…

Moving to Alaska to be a Fisherman – I Bought a Corona Virus Piñata – La Catedral
I just hung up the phone with my fisherman buddy from Alaska. Who the fuck uses the phone? Him. And my brother. And Szavio the wise man. There are just a few people that do. I love texting, but that phone call was nice. The call was about job prospects. And he also wanted to…

Chapter 24: Tecate Virus – Uncertainty for All – Tits Out at Dandy’s
Chapter 24. Fucking Tijuana. I woke up feeling sick. My head hurts. It feels hollow. I have a bit of a cough. Not much mucus though I am spitting more often than normal. I got that Tecate Virus. Except, I didn’t drink Tecate yesterday. It might be the Corona, but I really doubt it. I…

Do Nothing and Write – IG Book Giveaway – New Cover Picture (and some Text), Will Work in my own Covers
I am doing nothing. I didn’t sell any books through Amazon yesterday. None have been sold today. Two were sold two days ago (one Kindle, one Paperback). Three were sold the day before that (all Kindle). That’s about it for March… 15 books sold and it’s almost half the month. I’m giving up. I am…

Drinking my Earnings – Done Spamming the Book (Working on the Next One) – LOTR Paparazzo Times (That One Time I Talked to Frodo Baggins)
I woke up at 3:00 a.m. today. I couldn’t go back to bed, so I started watching LOTR The Two Towers for the millionth time. It’s an odd concept to think of this movie as old. And Christopher Lee is gone. I saw a lot of the people in LOTR back in the paparazzo days.…

March 2020: Year is Going Fast – Keep Spamming my Book (Sorry) – Tijuana is Still Consuming Me
My neighbor just grabbed my butt a minute ago. I went out to grab coffee beans because I have none. Shitty Oxxo coffee and some yogurt. And on my way back, she was opening the gate. I told her I would open it for her. And she grabbed my butt. SEXUAL HARASSMENT YO!!! She said…

Post 543: Book Report Print and Digital – I Don’t Want to Work Ever Again Though My Work is Awesome – Selling Books is Not Easy
This is post 543. That’s a lot of fucking posts. Selling a book is hard yo. I should have done something else that I can sell. Like cookies. People like cookies. Selling cookies is probably easier. Or burgers. Or brewed my own beer. You know… things people buy. People don’t buy books. I just get…
