  • April: Busy Month – Tons of Photography – Ensenada Wedding – Bachelor Tour

    April was an incredibly busy month. And a very good one as well. I haven’t taken these many pictures since the ole’ paparazzi days. And only one cover picture… This one: That was on April 2nd. Where I also took some other pictures for the magazine, but the cover was something else. I also took…

  • February: Slow Short Cold Month – Model, Cover, and Other Photography – Irish Visit, Xolos Game, and Work Ahead

    February was a slow short month. I didn’t do nearly as much work as I should have. And I’ve been sick for the past three days. Still sick right now. My nose and lips are so fucking dry. My head still hurts a bit. And I get cough attacks. It’s near the end of it…

  • The Unimpressive Last Word Vomit – Top 5 Music Influences of ALL TIME – THANKS FOR PLAYING…!!!

    Two really weird things happened last night: I cooked in my house instead of going out to eat. I did some shitty linguini with ground beef, mushrooms, and… Ragu. But hey… I don’t get to choose a lot of good ingredients from my vicinity… I didn’t go out to Nelson or to drink in general.…

  • Her Name Was Lola – More Work, More Interviews, and an Impromptu Tiny Tj Adventure – Only One More Word Vomit to Go

    Well… I was going to skip the word vomit today. The one before the very last. Not because I wasn’t feeling like it… but because I was busy. My brother picked me up at 8:00 a.m. to cross the border so I can borrow the car and do a simple gig. Pictures for a story…

  • A Myriad of Indecision – Early Drinking with Santa for Cover – The Finish Line is Near

    Life is a myriad of indecision and self-doubt. That is why people opt to believe in god(s). Life is much easier when higher powers decide for you. If you succeed, it was god’s plan. If you fail, it was gods’ plan. Nothing really matters. Metallica. The end of the blog is near. Mom was supposed to…

  • Great Night in SD with Chad – Finding TJ People in Unexpected Places – Midnight Light Painting and Trolley Generosity

    Yes! Done editing. So many pictures… And a few extras for myself. Last night was great. I had Taco Bell. And it was glorious. Fast food guilty pleasure. Them bean burritos are cheap and necessary after the night I had. I mean… I wanted In N Out or something ‘Muricun, but Chad wanted Taco Bell.…

  • Talking Nerdy Music with Bobby at Mamut – Photo Gig Today with Chad – The End of the Blogging Year is Near

    I saw Bobby again yesterday. We talked about music and other nerdy things. It reminded me how disconnected I’ve been from the scene. Luis. The guy from Los Yepa Yepa walked by. I always see him carrying instruments. On their way to rehearse. Young spirit with a young band having fun. I miss it. Not…

  • 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…

    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…

    I should be leaving right now. But I’m not. Today. I adult. I haven’t adulted in a while. I tried to yesterday. I interviewed three people. In a very awkward manner. But I believe I got what I need. Not having a beard makes me a hundred times whiter. More people on the street offer…

    I should have done laundry on Sunday. I should have bought coffee yesterday. I should have done this or that. But coffee… I need coffee right now. And laundry later. Yep.

  • 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.…

    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…

  • Oaxaca in 6 Hours – Horrible Phone Word Vomit -I Started a Book

    There is a dude singing about god in the trolley. He has headphones on. He just yelp completely out of tune “Cristo Salvador.” Now he is murmuring still out of tune “quédese señor,” repeatedly. I’m going to try to ignore him. Line. I need a music device and headphones. Haven’t gotten lost in my music…

    It’s odd to come back to this after skipping two days in a row. It’s like I forgot how to word vomit. I’m over thinking every sentence and I’m not sure how I manage to do it every day. I’m tired of it. That’s why I skipped it twice. It’s been almost the whole year…

  • Forced to Word Vomit by Choice – Marc’s Airbnb Pool Party – Getting Busier, Doing Nothing, Forcing Myself to Work

    It’s a gray day. And Bisho has a flea. He doesn’t have fleas. He has a single flea. A week ago I saw one and killed it. Didn’t see any fleas again. I just saw one and the fucker escaped my clutches. I checked Bisho’s stomach and couldn’t find more fleas (which is where they usually…

    My girlfriend is asleep right now and I’m wearing headphones and typing this stupid shit around 11:04 pm. She has been sleeping for over an hour, so I’m pretty sure she’s fast asleep. Or at least I hope. She begged me to go to bed with her though I wasn’t at all tired. So I…
