  • Girlfriend Packed Her Bags, Soon to Monterrey – Decision Made on Moving – Walked a Lot, Tacos, Beer, Pizza, Chess, Netflix, and Upstairs Party

    My girlfriend is packing her bags. She’s leaving. On a jet plane. Should be back again, around the new year. I probably will go to Monterrey to visit her. And then come back with her together. To our new apartment. To a new year. Yesterday was that. A lot of walking while apartment hunting. Breakfast…

  • Looking for Apartments Got me Down – Girlfriend’s Last Saturday (and Oli’s Birthday) – Pictures of Punta Cometa

    Alright. I just woke up a bit late. Girlfriend already left the apartment to do an errand and came back. I have nothing to write. It’s a slow Saturday. I don’t know how I do this every day. I’m sort of depressed. What’s new? Yesterday, we walked a lot. We went to Teléfonica for a…

  • Weird Dreams of a Mountain Top Waterpark – New Roommate, Moving Out Soon – My Uber Driver Hated Gays, Tongue Taco Not Related

    I had a really weird dream that I was in a small mountain town that was also a water park and it also somehow had snow and acted like a ski-lodge. It was so remote that it had no cell phone signal. And to get there, you had to fly on a shitty plane that…

  • Beer for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner! – New Favorite San Diego Brewery – More Mazunte Vacation Pics

    I just listened to the new Weezer. And I’m really sad for it. WTF? This doesn’t even sound like Weezer. Sounds like Katy Perry or some shit like that. Thanks Justin for forcing me to listen to this bullshit. Seriously. If this came up on the radio and wasn’t aware it was Weezer, I would…

  • Picture Work Time: San Diego Breweries All Day – Craving Hot Wings Thanks to Sean Evans – Writing Time Next

    I have to go. Like right now. I barely sat down with some coffee to write this. Look at the hour. And I basically should go right now. My left ear is blocked. My right ear is fucked. I’m practically deaf. How did I do this every day? There’s not much to say. Yesterday, Yesenia came…

  • Listening to Old Music: Chim Charoo Review – Craft Beer Photo Shoots! – Vacation/Wedding Edit Done

    I’m listening to Chim Charoo. The old band from Houston, Texas that my cousin had. I love this album. I love that band. They were way ahead of their times. I don’t think you can stream or listen to any of it online. You can only do it if you have the album. I’m listening…

  • 250 Days Together Come to an End: Last Week Together – NFL, Vacation Pictures, Much Work – Dreams of Paris Hilton

    SWOOP! Big swoop! Back to Tijuana and real life. Woke up to a million notifications after dreaming about Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky. They were running away from the paparazzi at LAX. I was just there returning for a flight but I also had my camera. So I started shooting her (Paris, Nicky who…

  • Word Vomiting Up in the Air – Goodbye Beautiful Mosquito World, Hello Again Bizzarro Border Town – Thousands of Pictures to Edit

    Goodbye mosquito world. I type this on Aeromexico Flight 718 destined to Mexico City while I scratch the red swollen mosquito bites of my left ankle. Picking the dried up pus and blood from the scabs. So many mosquito bites. Memories that fade. Mosquito bites that will go away. Can’t help but think that I…

  • Two More Days in Paradise – Baby Turtle Release Party – French Cuisine and Out of Money

    Today is day 8. Only two more days and then we fly back… Which would be day 10, but we only have that morning. And now that we are in the last of it… It starts to feel heavy. As if we didn’t take enough advantage of it. Day 6 was pretty uneventful and the…

  • Day 6, Weather Has Turned Shitty – Intense Mezcal Dreams of Horny Nicotine Vampires – Roommate Breaks Up with Tijuana

    We both woke up real late again. It’s noon. But it feels like early morning. It’s cloudy and shitty outside. Like it was supposed to be the whole week. But it’s finally that five days later. I woke up first at around 7 am. After some very intense dreams. Some really dumb dreams. That included…

    Day 2 of Oaxaca. We walked from Mazunte to San Agustinillo. It’s like a 20 minute walk. The sun and humidity are heavy. But we didnt’ care. Before getting to San Agustinillo, we bumped into my brother, his wife, and family, and my friend from childhood “El Killer.” They were headed our way. We were…

    WiFi is very limited. I’m barely even going to write on my blog during this trip. Or well… that depends. I’m also typing on my girlfriend’s computer. She’s showing me how her pinky toe got swollen because she hit herself last night. She claims she bumped into me. I don’t remember. I just say yes.…

  • 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…

  • Everything is Hazy After Oaxaca – Feels Like Saturday and Gringo Friends are Coming to Tj Adventure – “El Bar” Spanish Movie Review

    Now there are only two days left for Oaxaca. And I’m nervous. Traveling always makes me a bit nervous. Last big travel I had was to Minneapolis and then a road trip to Tijuana with my college friends. Before that… nothing. I’ve been stuck in Tijuana far too long. Getting out for at least once…

    Alright, dude, you can do this! My girlfriend said she was going to work for this half week that we have left before OAXACA! She lied. She woke up early this morning and said, “I don’t want to go.” Or something like that. It was 4 am. I didn’t take notes. Point is, she decided…

    I’m supposed to be at my brother’s house right now doing him a favor. One of his clients needed to pick-up shirts. I woke up late for it, but I got dressed in a jiffy and wanted to go to the house and do him the favor. But… I suspect my girlfriend took the keys…

  • My Girlfriend The Destroyer – Missed the Secret Reddit Party (I Felt Sick) – Work Friday, Oaxaca Very Soon

    I woke up at 5:02 am when I heard a very loud crash in the kitchen. CRASH!!!!! It was super fucking loud. Before getting up. I knew what it was. My girlfriend over tipped the ceramic base that holds the water jug too much. It was my fault. I didn’t buy water. There was no…

    An unexpected party! That’s a chapter of The Hobbit if you didn’t know… It happened yesterday. Not like in The Hobbit. But there was a very unexpected Wednesday party. I did some splash photography for fun (and for an article, but mostly for fun). I should have used the flash. That picture originally was way…

    I beat the fuck out of my mint plant… I hope it recovers. It already looks like it is recovering. The expensive soil I bought is much better than the shitty soil that I got in Mexico. The basil plant also looks much nicer. It looks like a little basil tree. The leaves are short…

    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…

    I just posted a massive burger pic on Imgur and on /r/food. It pissed me off that a shitty picture of burgers was on the front page. Friday Reddit. Shitty Reddit. The picture on Imgur is doing great. Spoke too soon. It’s only been a minute and it already has two comments. It probably won’t…

    I’m sitting outside a Dunkin’ Donuts in downtown San Diego, drinking coffee and eating a granola bar. Neither are from DD (not Dungeons & Dragons). The establishment is packed with people. I wanted a breakfast sandwich. But granola and coffee from my brother’s office will suffice for now. I didn’t have time to word vomit…

    Marital issues. How dramatic. Mexico City trembles and so did my marriage. How fucking dramatic. I’m not even married. Mexico City. 32 years later decides to shake again. My parents moved from there after the earthquake in ’85. Well… a year later. I was born, and they decided to move because Mexico City was too…
