  • Week 29 (2025) – Ozzy Gone, Lens Sold – Viral Video Work, Sushi, and Tours – New Yorkjuana Plane Tickets Bought

    Two tours in a row last weekend. And what a week I had. What a week for 2025. What a week for Trump. All the Epstein shit! Millenials! The world seems to end again. And I’m here doing tours and having fun times in Tijuana and getting paid to do it. July ends more than…

  • Week 15 (2025) – April Got Better (and More to Come) – I Wore a MAGA Hat and Didn’t Like It – Full Moon 18

    I’m on a TikTok live. I have much work to do. I can’t write and be on TikTok live at the same time. I get distracted. It’s hard to do. It was a helluva of a week. Yeah. That TikTok live consumed my time and I didn’t write my blog. I’ll be going on TikTok…

  • Week 13 (2025) – AI Blog Posting (or Is It?) – Newish Camera GoPro 10 and a Ton of Content – Bad Start to April

    It’s been shitty and depressing days… Ever since I lost my camera. But fear not, I got another camera now. It’s a GoPro 10. A friend gave it to me. A gift and a loan at the same time. He says he doesn’t use it, but if I get another camera, to give it back.…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 49 Weeks, 2 Days: Texas Xmas and MJ of TJ- Fuck You 2019! – NFL Fantasy Champion at Least

    49 Weeks, 2 Days. It’s dumb to count because I really lost count forever ago. But I miss my mom so much… I can’t believe it’s going to be a full year without her. It still feels like I’m going to see her on a holiday thing. But no. 2020 is around the corner. I…

    I got sucker punched on my face last night after exiting Nelson around 1 a.m. or so. That’s how this story begins. It was a crazy Monday. It was a crazy weekend. It has been some very interesting days since I met her. Yes. The Bumble girl I met and that I like. We are…

    I’m conflicted about today. And yes. I skipped the blog yesterday for a good reason. Right now, I wait for a journalist from NYC to call me to talk about a story she is looking to work on in late September. Let’s see what that is about. I fucking hate the phone. Alright. Emailed her…

  • Fuck You, Pay Me – Oh Shit. Work! – Paparazzi Magazines Cropped and Ready for Garbage

    Fuck you. Pay me. That should be my attitude. I’m listening to this Creative Mornings from San Francisco by Mike Monteiro after reading the blog of Max Dubler about stealing photos. This is the video. Coffee coffee coffee! This coffee is WEAK! And it was expensive. It’s not bad in flavor, but it’s just really…

  • Sunrise and Sunset iPhone Pics – Roommate is Home, Party Time! (Just Kidding, I Didn’t Do Much) – Mom’s Birthday Tomorrow

    I don’t know where to start today. Coffee coffee coffee. That new expensive coffee I’m trying is okay in flavor, but not really strong. Maybe it’s because I’ve been drinking that cheap muddy strong coffee for a while now. But nah. I threw in a bunch of coffee beans, more than usual, ground the fuck out…

    Soccer soccer soccer! Did you guys watch that Mexico vs New Zealand yesterday?! Circus circus circus! What a fucking shit show. It was as if a cocky teenager was about to play FIFA (or insert soccer game here) against a kid that has barely played a video game in their life. The teenager, full of…

  • Buda Burgers and the Elusive Nelson Red Star – In Search of Grunions – In Need of Lightroom

    I had weird dreams. So I woke up feeling weird. I have one photo mission that I’m sort of nervous about, though nothing happens if I don’t get it. Grunion run. There’s an upcoming cover story about it. Grunions are small fish that come to shore at midnight to reproduce on a new moon or…

    Alright! Word vomit time. I have absolutely no plans or have no idea what I’m about to type. Let’s see how this goes. Yesterday my girlfriend and I hung out with Bryan. Bryan only reads this blog after we hung out because he likes to read that he got mentioned. Hey, Bryan. You made it…

  • My Awesome Girlfriend Cooks Awesomely (and Also Pounds Beers) – Santuario New Brewery Review – Rejecting a Contract And Feeling Like a Douche About It

    My girlfriend cooked dinner while I did office type work. The desk has always been like my office… but now with the whiteboard above me, it feels more real. I like it. It shows me clearly what I have to do. My schedule has always been pretty open to anything. With a couple of dates…

    I don’t know what happened. I thought we were fine. Yesterday she woke up to go to work. Like always we cuddled a bit before she jumped in the shower. Then she kissed me goodbye, and I passed out for an extra hour or two like I always do. I didn’t hear from her all…

  • Pretty People and Creepy Twins at a Throwback LA Party – World is a Real Shit – Mila Jovovich

    We both woke up thinking the same thing. Board games. I had dreams about controlling the yellow army on Risk. We couldn’t even finish the game of Risk. It was getting too long and ridiculous. The yellow army basically was left untouched, and I guess that carried into my dreams of world domination by controlling…

    I woke up with an itch to rant. So… sit back, fasten your seatbelts, and relax baby. This is going to get stupid (like always). It’s Wednesday. That means the new cover story comes out on the Reader. It also means that Letters to the Reader come in. And it is one of my favorite…

  • Zona Norte Drama This Lovely Morning – Catching Up At Nelson – USA Today

    A lovely morning sun shined heavily through my large balcony windows in my cheap Tijuana apartment. Roommate is gone. Girlfriend is gone. Bisho was sunbathing and stretching happily on the foot of my bed. California weather is back. I don’t mind the cold showers again. I opened the sliding doors to enjoy some morning sun, and…

    She’s up in the air right now. Flying to Mexico City. Well… actually towards Morelia first and then connecting to Mexico City. Fucking Volaris canceled her 7:00 am flight after waking up at 5 am and rushing her out the door so she didn’t miss her flight. We had a fight last night. The worst…

  • 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.…
