  • Week 50 (2025) – Wojtek and Lukaszk from Poland in Tijuana Tour – Music and Christmas – Busy End and 2026 Soon

    The end of 2025 is near. In five days, I fly to Texas. I’m spending a bit over a week over there. Too much time. But I don’t have anything to do in Tijuana, and those were the cheapest flights. I had an awesome tour with Polish guys yesterday. It wasn’t a tour, more like…

  • Week 32 (2025) – Big Apple, 3 AM – Matingas Now on Substack – Bad Burger, Great Beer, and New Bar

    New York in exactly a month. I’m excited. We’re excited. My girlfriend sends me dozens of TikToks about New York almost daily. I watch MOST of them. But there are too many. Many influencers have a whispery voice that I find annoying. I want to create my own content, not consume others. I have friends.…

  • Week 27 (2025) – Drunken Unbirthday DotA Depression – More Content, More Patreon – Next Half of the Year

    Ando sad. I’m the most depressed I’ve been in years. The worst day was Sunday. It stemmed from my girlfriend’s birthday. I usually get sad on my birthdays. But for the past few years, they’ve been alright. This time it was my girlfriend’s birthday that got me sad. She’s 35. The age is not the…

    It doesn’t feel like a Tuesday. It doesn’t feel like July already. It’s halfway through the year. It’s my girlfriend’s birthday. It will be our 2 year anniversary soon. Wild. She’s doing a baby shower style birthday (the day after) for her and her friends. They going to drink pink things and paint pink things.…

    Welp… I did it again. I got way too busy and I couldn’t blog last week. I had a tour early on Tuesday with a lovely couple with Disney tattoos. We weren’t suppose to drink. The husband had a tattoo appointment at 5 pm and you are not supposed to drink before getting a tattoo.…

    I’m busy as ffff. I snuck into the Feria del Libro Tijuana. And by snuck, I mean, I have a stand. Half a stand. Somewhat of a stand. Booth #26. It’s my brother’s booth. He did the screen printing for all their merch so they rewarded him with a booth. The book fair also used…

    Oooeee. I’m tired like a forty year old man. I had two tours in a row. They were both great clients like always. Yesterday’s tour was a couple from Riverside that are into Real Estate. We walked a lot. It was great, I love walking this city even though it’s not the most beautiful place…

    It’s my birthday this week. In three days. I’m turning 39 but I tell people I’m turning 40. I don’t feel like I look forty. I got a haircute yesterday. The dude before me said he was turning 35. Fucker looked much older than me. Or perhaps I look much older and I just don’t…

    New mouse! And… we lose even harder in DotA. Four games. Four losses. That’s the new mouse record. But… it’s SOOOO much better. This mouse is huge. And the right click works. And it has extra buttons because it’s a gaming mouse. I like it. Worth the $25 I paid for it. It’s Monday and…

    Ooooeee! What a Tijuana Adventure bachelor party tour! It was… legendary! Fucking Rick Bayless. What are the odds? What are the odds that a celebrity chef based in Chicago would be in a bar in Tijuana when I was touring Chicago boys around?! Seriously… the fucking odds… It was the cherry on the pie from…

    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…

    Ooooeee shit! What a horrible start to April. I was going to write about how happy I am because I finally got an SSD external hard drive and I did Open Core Legacy Patcher and updated my iMac to Sonoma. DotA was running great. I downloaded the new Luminar “Neo” and it was working smoothly.…

    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.…

    Chrome crapped out. My iMac can’t handle it. I’m using Safari and it’s working fine though it’s an outdated Safari. Things run smoothly. I can write here in my blog. I can browse standard websites and watch Netflix. I can still play DotA. Chrome has been my browser for years. It knows me. I deleted…

    Chimba is sick. She started puking on Friday. That’s normal. She pukes often. Like twice or so every two weeks. But the second puke looked different. Too much fluid. Then she puked again. Saturday, she did the same. Puked four or five times during the course of the day. Sunday I took her to the…

    It’s the end of February 2025. End of the short month that felt kind of long. Not that many tours but the month got rescued by a couple of tours by the end. I don’t have a tour this weekend. I got an email yesterday asking for a tour for today (very short noticed). I…

    This is post number 664. That’s a lot of blog posts about my life. And that’s also a very Tijuana number. February is slow. Not that many Tijuana Adventures this month. January was good, so I have enough money. Fuckkkkk DotA! Such a fucking addicting game that is also so shitty. Five losses in a…

  • Week 3 (2025) – Bring It 2025 (but be nice) – 6 Years of 2nd Life

    My mom would have hated this day more than I do. She hated Trump. And his first hour as president for a second round is plenty dramatic. I hate this day not much because of that. Because it marks six years without my mom. The new life. And since then, shit got crazy. I’m used…

    I’m sad over the stupidest thing… My fantasy football team lost on the quarterfinals. Third place overall to lose it all on the first playoff. I still have 6% chance to win and I depend on Sincere McCormick and Younghoe Koo… I’m not posting this until tomorrow. By then, I probably already lost. I’m holding…

    So much anger. Fucking Calimax on Calle Segunda. That’s all I wrote before having breakfast. Sometimes I have anger issues. But that fucking super market… 8 people waiting in line with only one cashier open. I’m on 7th place and I only need eggs, tortillas, and orange juice. I see a cashier moving to a…

    She packed her things to leave. She has a lot of things in my place. She didn’t leave. But was about to. And like always. It was my fault. It was I who yelled to get out of my apartment. Telling the story and reasoning about it here wouldn’t make sense. You would only hear…
