Smash Bros Morning – Sleeping Tons – Korean Tacos in Tijuana
I came home early yesterday. I’m still emoish. I’ve been sleeping tons. Sleep is good. Had really odd dreams. For some reason, the city got flooded, and when I woke up, my room turned into a taco shop. I didn’t like it. I hated it. Also a different dream involved me saving a barrel of…

Pizza Time – Don’t Disrespect Colbert – I Hate Everything
I’m not emo. Well maybe I am a bit. But I’m hating everyone and everything. Not sure why. Just feels like that. Whisky might fix that. It doesn’t feel like a Friday either. Feels like a Wednesday. And I’ll treat it as such. I have some work to finish and I’m still avoiding the fuck…

Woo Accepted! – On The Trolley OMW to a Cruise – Happy? Not Really
Yay! I got accepted for publication! Or so I think. I am getting paid, that’s what I know. When will I get published… Well… Time from now. Not sure how much. The story is pretty timeless, so there is no need to rush. Doubt much will change my to change the story. Not sure what…

Victim of 4 Hour Nap – Excited About Tacos – That Block Button
A few beers kick my ass now. This time it was just three IPAs. I mean, it’s not like a week without drinking lower my tolerance… or did it? Or maybe it’s the winter. Point is. I went out today at 3ish pm to meet up with a friend for an interview on an article,…

Monday Blues, Sniffles, and Cough – Crazy Fast Year – Jessica Alba
It’s Monday and I overslept this morning. Finally took a cold ass painful shower, and headed out to do my favorite thing… Laundry! /s I am typing this in the laundromat, headphones on my head, Hella playing, bored out of my mind and in a state of nothingness. I have work this week. I queried…

Story Sent – TJ Adventure Today – … Still Coughing
I absolutely fail at bucket showering. Again, the water ended just lukewarm because it started very hot, then I waited too long, and I should have just showered with cold water. But I’m still sick! It’s been a week! And I’m coughing and spewing bigger loogies! It’s fucking gross. But each huge loogie, makes me…

Pictures of the Rain (and How I Edit) – This is not Friday, Still Sick – Tour Tomorrow
I felt better yesterday, though still sick, I managed to get a lot of work done. I also went outside in the rain to get some pictures with my roommate’s fancy tripod (don’t worry, I was well covered). It was funny to see people wondering wtf I am doing. There’s a street fair setup by the…

Spanglish Obsession – HP Not Fully Recovered – Bucket Shower
At some point last night… I felt like I recovered all my HP. Suddenly, I wasn’t coughing, sneezing, or blowing my nose. Didn’t have a headache. I wasn’t ridiculously cold. I felt healthy. Just out of nowhere. Sometime after Jeopardy. I was coughing and sneezing and blowing my nose throughout the day (three TPs already).…

Freelance Sick Days – Knocking on Doors – Inspiring Meeting
Yesterday was another wasted day in which I accomplished nothing. I was too sick to work. All I did was watch Star Wars – Return of the Jedi, sleep, and then got depressed from my lack of productivity. Slept early. Way early. But I woke up feeling better, alas, still sick, but better. I remember…

Still Sick – The Year of No Guitar – WordPress Update
This week is not going at all as I would like. I’m still sick. Probably worse. I woke up around 4 am feeling like shit and couldn’t go back to bed. I watched Rick & Morty for more than a couple of hours until I forced myself back to bed. I feel weak and cold.…

Sick and Sore but Ready to Work – Shirtless Selfie in Bad Taste – Bristol Palin
I woke up Sunday very sore and somewhat sick. Coughing. Aching. Sneezing. Dying. I’m still sick and sore today. But it wasn’t all that horrible. I got to be lazy and watch NFL all day like I do on Sundays. I also ordered a pizza and ate it whole in less than 30 minutes. Saturday…

It Was Heartburn – Sober Thanksgiving – Weekend?
That’s basically how I felt when I was feeling my supposedly “heart attack.” Yep. It was only heartburn. But I don’t feel as a fool for confusing them. Thing is, I had heartburn before. Each time was after Buffalo Wild Wings and that delicious spicy garlic. I felt it in my chest, I felt it…

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…

Back to the Drawing Board – 2016 Mission Not Accomplished – If People Want Garbage, Might As Well
I was so close this summer to accomplish my goals. They offered me a gig that was pretty swell. I was happy. I was going to have constant work. Pretty easy work. And very well paid. Paid enough that if I wanted to move San Diego, I could have. But it never materialized. I underworked…

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…

Pepe Nacho Story Sent – Cross Border Redditor Meeting Soon
Welp! I did it again. I pitched a story for the news section which limits me to less than 1,000 words (should be less than 800 or 500 normally). But… I wrote 2,300+ words. Sent it this morning to the editor that had no idea about the story, but that handles the larger sections (and the…

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…
