From Heartbroken to Heart Attack – Pizza and Beer to Fight Depression – Thanksgiving?
Recipe to battle disillusioned depression. Full pizza. Beer. Bottle of tequila. I passed out before 10 pm while watching Rick and Morty after downloading the first Legend of Zelda game for $5. I already had money on my Wii U account. It’s not like I spend any money to get it. Secret. Pizza al Volo…

Heartbroken </3
You know that feel when your heart seems to sink down to your stomach, creating a knot, and then you are not able to eat? I just got that. I was on my way out for fish tacos when I received a rejection email. It felt like that immediately. I’m completely disillusioned. I had high…

Reddit Meet Success! – Great Saturday, NFL Lazy Sunday – Fergie, LiLo, Paris
Saturday was great. After doing work, sending emails, and other stuff, I headed to the border to meetup with Reddit people. Reddit people. Reddit people. You never know what to expect with Reddit people. First guy was there before me. Brett was his name. He was cool. Basically what I expected. Someone around my age…

Reddit Gold, Reddit Meeting, Much Delicious Karma mmm Yes – Stack of Covers
I grabbed a big stack of covers. I’m not really sure what for. It is nice to see the cover outside 7-elevens and such, but it is also fruitless. I wanna be like “hey! look, that’s my picture,” but people would just be like… “uhh so?” Yesterday in San Diego was great though. I haven’t…

Drinking, Sleeping, Waking Up Early – Reddit Addiction – Physical Cover Today
Yesterday was a very productive day. Besides the cover coming out, I got a lot of material from Pepe Nacho and I have an awesome way to write the story brewing in my mind. I guess my brain is like a brewery, it takes beer and ideas come up. Then I wake up early, very…

Crappy Job Offer – Cover is Out!!! – Pepe Nacho Interviewed
I received an email early with the title “Blogging Opportunity.” They invited me to write for a webpage called “MyTrendingStories.” They complimented my blog, told me about their project, and invited me to be a part of it. If you type on a google search “my trending stories” the second option is “my trending stories…

I Suck at Photoshop – Super Moon – My Cover Tomorrow
Since years ago that I left the paparazzi agencies, I haven’t used Photoshopped. My agency licensed my PS use, as well as Photo Mechanic, and a few nice other paid applications. When the licensing got canceled, I stopped caring. I also stopped shooting. Photography was dead to me. I had a revival in photography just last…

Tijuana Never Disappoints – Shooting Video for Cash – Marisa Tomei
A friend from central Mexico said that “Tijuana nunca decepciona.” She’s been here for a few months and she is always amazed in how any night in Tijuana can turn into a crazy party. Tijuana never disappoints. There is always something to do. Something to see… eat.. drink… meet… listen…. Often I walk the streets…

Tijuana on Fire – I am Handsome :D – Rent Paid
Revolución was on fire Wednesday/Thursday midnight hours. I poke my head around, took shitty cellphone pics, and wrote a quick article without pitching it to my editor. I got rejected. “We don’t do fire stories,” was the answer. So no fire stories. I guess they are too mainstream and happen way too often. But this…

Trump Supporter in Tijuana – Reddit Meetup Next Saturday – Sigh
It’s dark by 5 pm. Which means my organic clock wants to drink earlier. Burgers, beer, tacos. That seems to be my diet. Yesterday was good, though slow. This morning is even slower. I went to Colectivo 9 for a burger and beer. A beer turned into beers because pretty girl was there. Pretty girl…

President Trump – Used to Uncertainty, but Not This Kind
As a freelancer, I have been very used to uncertainty. Of waking up and not being sure what I was doing with my day. Of waiting until something comes up, either inspiration, work, or something else. I spent all of Wednesday in a dreamlike state of mind. Still not believing Trump is president. Before the…

In the Wrong Dimension – Let’s Get Political – Trump
Welp. Yesterday was a great day. I woke up to start working (kinda like today and everyday). Mornings are good for me. I finished and sent an article. It got published right away. Here it is! Shrek de Tijuana. Besides that, I got an email from the US consulate because apparently they want my opinion…

Busy Week, Elections and Crap – Perfect Saturday – Jeff Goldblum
I had one of the best Saturdays I had in a long long time. I was productive, I got material, I got photos, I garnered all I needed for this next week. Now this week I have to shape all that material into articles, work my ass off and get $$$. And I basically have…

Article Sent – I Didn’t Find Shrek – Work Weekend
I already lived my weekend this week with my friend el Pelón. Two days and nights of consecutive party on a Monday and Tuesday. Insane that we pulled it off. Only in Tijuana can you just party until the wee hours in the morning during weekdays. Wednesday felt like Monday, but it was slow day,…

Good News and Too Much in My Head – Looking for Shrek – Blocked
Yep. I did nothing yesterday except play Meat Boy. I played it all night as well. I’m actually a ranked player in many of those things. My highest ranking is 12… (this probably means nothing, but I like it). I tried working. I did. I wrote the intro paragraph 5 times. And deleted it each…

Underdog Champions Cubs and Gallos – Fuck Me, It’s November Already – White Beard
I’m missing Halloween already. Got to wait till next year :( It’s NoShave November and I forgot to shave in October and my beard is getting thick and white. I’m getting several white hairs in my beard that when playing the “guess my age” game, I lost and keep getting an older age than I…

El Pelón – The Tijuana Life, Is A Good Life – Halloween #2 Too Much Party
AHHH SIGHHHH What crazy last couple of days. My childhood friend and nearby neighbor, Andrei, aka El Pelón, visited me in Tijuana. I just dropped him off. Time to get back to reality. This is us at the border: Gallos Blancos plays the final against Chivas today. We both wore our Gallos shirt. El Pelón…

Halloween/Jalogüin – Forever a Cow – Courtney Love
Oh boy! What a week I had! The shitty part of the week. I’ve only written one article which = I’m not making much money. Especially because it was a food article and that’s almost no money. The best part… FUCKING HALLOWEEN. It’s so much fun. Pictures narrate my night better than I can with…

My Earliest and Healthiest Tour – Especiales While Sick – Verne Troyer
I had my earliest tour yet this Saturday at 11 a.m. I met with Michael, his fiancee, and his mom to get to know as many neighborhoods of Tijuana as we possibly can, since Michael is thinking about moving into town. We started with Playas, ate in Telefonica, went around Cacho and Chapu, far to…

Published but Need More – Great Drunk Thursday – Sick Friday
I finished the job I had to do. I wasn’t completely satisfied with it. I could have kept on writing. Make it long. Gamble more again. But I stopped myself and finished it short. I got published quicker than I thought. It usually takes a couple of days and sometimes even months to get published.…

An Odd and Incredible Monday – Forced into Femininity – If Only ….
If only …. If only I was always inspired to work, I would do so much more. But it is difficult. I have to finish an article today, not even sure where to start. And after that… I still don’t know where to go. Directions seem to always be a blur when freelancing everything and…

Weekend Was Amazing – Hating This Monday – Whitney Houston
I used to loathe Sundays. They always made me feel so numb. But nah… now Sundays are alright. I enjoy them. They are a break. It has NFL. I can do whatever the fuck I want. Everyone hates Mondays. Very Garfieldesque. But I am hating this Monday. It’s so mundane. HARHARHARHAR After my awesome Thursday,…

Unexpected Thursday Night – Busy Friday – Quest for Enchilados
I had an unexpected Thursday night. I went out with a friend to watch SPORTS. Yep. Football and Baseball. LA Dodgers vs Washington Nationals. My friend was sure the Nats were going to win. He was wrong. I hate the Dodgers, but oh well, don’t care much about baseball. On the other tv, SD Chargers…

Finally Laundry – Bisho the Contortionist – Getting Paid
At the laundromat. I never used a public one in any city I have ever lived in, except Tijuana. This laundromat seems like it hasn’t changed in decades. In college there was the basement laundry both Freshmen and Sophomore year. Not the same dynamic. Junior and Senior year housing came with washing/drying machine. …

Day 5 of No Response – Photography Gig and Beer – Still Uncertain Thus is The Freelance Life
It’s been 5 days since I sent the story and no reply. Yesterday I sent another email asking again. Today is that special Tuesday, and it’s not only because tap Tuesday, but because today I send pay requests. Uncertainty makes me not know how much money I’m making. But I guarantee myself a few hundred…
