  • Week 26 (2025) – Mom’s Birthday/Girlfriend’s Birthday – Halfway Through the Year – Ensenada Adventure Tours Text

    It doesn’t feel like a Tuesday. It doesn’t feel like July already. It’s halfway through the year. It’s my girlfriend’s birthday. It will be our 2 year anniversary soon. Wild. She’s doing a baby shower style birthday (the day after) for her and her friends. They going to drink pink things and paint pink things.…

  • Week 24 + 25 (2025) – Book Fair Closing – Wu Clan Ensenada and TJ Tour Adventure – Tijuana No! Live (concert photography)

    Welp… I did it again. I got way too busy and I couldn’t blog last week. I had a tour early on Tuesday with a lovely couple with Disney tattoos. We weren’t suppose to drink. The husband had a tattoo appointment at 5 pm and you are not supposed to drink before getting a tattoo.…

  • Week 19 + 20 (2025) – Coffee Shrooms for 40th Birthday and GF Vacation – Viral Tours and Videos – Viral Virus, I’m Still Sick

    It’s my birthday this week. In three days. I’m turning 39 but I tell people I’m turning 40. I don’t feel like I look forty. I got a haircute yesterday. The dude before me said he was turning 35. Fucker looked much older than me. Or perhaps I look much older and I just don’t…

  • Week 12 (2025) – DJI Camera Lost/Stolen – Ensenada Beer Fest Adventure – Australian Paparazzo Interview – Swagyu and Tours

    Sad fucking Monday. Today is Tuesday. But it was a sad fucking Monday. What a great weekend… and woke up on Monday to sadness. I lost my camera. Or it was stolen… I didn’t have a tour this weekend. I didn’t have much this weekend. And two last minute things happened. I went to San…

  • Week 9 (2025) – Sick Kitty and Dumb Comments – More Tours and Mochomos Review

    Chimba is sick. She started puking on Friday. That’s normal. She pukes often. Like twice or so every two weeks. But the second puke looked different. Too much fluid. Then she puked again. Saturday, she did the same. Puked four or five times during the course of the day. Sunday I took her to the…

  • Week 7 (2025) – Sad Days but Great Valentine’s – No More San Diego Reader – Influencer And Tour Guide Keeps Growing

    What a wild and sad Monday I had. It started with a classic tour with two lovely people from Northern California. Both school teachers. Both spoke Spanglish. Both have been to Tijuana before, but they’ve never seen my Tijuana. It was a classic tour. From the arch to the oldest streets, to the dives, the…

  • Week 6 (2025) – Things End and Selling Shit – Slow February Continues (Post 664)

    This is post number 664. That’s a lot of blog posts about my life. And that’s also a very Tijuana number. February is slow. Not that many Tijuana Adventures this month. January was good, so I have enough money. Fuckkkkk DotA! Such a fucking addicting game that is also so shitty. Five losses in a…

  • Week 4 (2025) – Long January – Fuckiness but Financially Fine

    It’s still January. What a long January. It’s been a good January so far. A lot of work. It was a busy week. A crazy week. After the hospital craze, I had a couple tours. One on Friday, it went wild. One on Saturday, it went wild. I have to do the social media video…

  • Week 3 (2025) – Bring It 2025 (but be nice) – 6 Years of 2nd Life

    My mom would have hated this day more than I do. She hated Trump. And his first hour as president for a second round is plenty dramatic. I hate this day not much because of that. Because it marks six years without my mom. The new life. And since then, shit got crazy. I’m used…

  • Week 1 (2025) – Houston Brewery Reviews and Family Xmas Love – Year Starts with a ton of Tours

    It’s the first Monday of the year. I said I would write every Monday. The year started heavy with work. Four tours in a row. I’ve never done four tours in a row… However, I’ve done tours for three or four days straight (bachelor parties). People are hitting me up for bachelor parties this year.…

  • November 2024: New Shirt, Chinese Food! – Tía Visits from Texas – Halloween 2024 and More

    So much anger. Fucking Calimax on Calle Segunda. That’s all I wrote before having breakfast. Sometimes I have anger issues. But that fucking super market… 8 people waiting in line with only one cashier open. I’m on 7th place and I only need eggs, tortillas, and orange juice. I see a cashier moving to a…

    I have a new patron and I’m not sure who he is. That’s new. Thank you, stranger. I should believe in myself. Jackie Bryant’s blog is back after maternity leave. She is a fantastic cannabis writer and now, a motherhood writer.  I miss my mom. Jackie inspired me. Not only is her blog fantastic, but…

  • Late August 2023: Tinder 1500 Pesos Drama – Tours and Photoshoots – Muay Thai Training

    Typical of me. I’m waiting for the cover to drop. All the beers in hell is getting published next week. I already got paid. I already spent the money. And I’m just waiting for it. Instead of writing more. I have several articles in mind. The ideas are written on my whiteboard. I do nothing.…

  • Mid-April 2023: KARma Quit my Job – Bachelor Party Tours – Zona Norte for the First Time in 4 Years

    It was snowing in the Chicago airport during my connecting flight back from Columbus, Ohio. Snowing in fucking April. That’s the title of a math rock song I wrote in college. Here it is. It’s one of my oldest YouTube videos. 14 years ago. Shit. In the airport I was thinking over and over: “I…

    Oooeee. October has gone very fast. I got a bunch of gigs. Mostly doing tours. But some photos. And more. I got popular on TikTok. I’m still with my girl and sometimes, the sun or light hits her in such a way, that I look at her and fall in love a bit more. My…

    52 Weeks, 1 Day. I am one year old now. It was the worst year of my life. I cried a lot last year. The most I have ever cried as a grown man… Grown man… Probably when I was on my emo phase as a teenager I cried more. I probably cried more when…

  • I’m Cletus From the Simpsons… According To The Baseball Stadium’s Giant Screen – Another Great and Successful Tour

    Woke up hungover. It’s sort of fixed. Yesterday was a blast. My legs were hurting real bad from bowling. They still hurt. The clients arrived earlier than the hour they said. We were supposed to meet at 10 am. I messaged them at 9:30 am to see where they were at… they were already at…

  • Touring Minnesotans – Casa del Túnel, Cevicheria Nais, Teorema, Mezcalera, and (Zona)Norte – Sunday Brunch

    Like always. Super fun tour. I should be posting all of this in Tijuana Adventure instead of here. In fact, I should be posting over there more often. After every tour. And upload a couple pictures. This were my tourists: And here they are at La Casa del Túnel: Yep. 8 white guys from Minnesota.…

  • Headache, Backache, and No Sleep… – But Great TJ Adventure – Skipped a Day

    I skipped my blog yesterday for the first time all year! Also… didn’t do a single push-up! And I feel bad about it. How silly of me. Like I need to inform the internet of what I do everyday. But maybe someday, I’ll go back and read at all the idiotic shit I wrote. I…

  • A thin line between work and hobby – Tijuana Adventure – Chevy Chase

    I hate work, most people hate work and I am like most people. However, I am by far on the side of people that enjoy their work, except you know actors and rockstars, I still simply prefer doing nothing. When I lived with my uncle for my senior year in High School, he told me…
