  • Do Nothing and Write – IG Book Giveaway – New Cover Picture (and some Text), Will Work in my own Covers

    I am doing nothing. I didn’t sell any books through Amazon yesterday. None have been sold today. Two were sold two days ago (one Kindle, one Paperback). Three were sold the day before that (all Kindle). That’s about it for March… 15 books sold and it’s almost half the month. I’m giving up. I am…

  • 51 Weeks, 0 Days: Busy and Broke – Chef Trolling – TJ Adventure Tour Revivals and Book

    51 Weeks, 0 Days. I feel like I’ve been the busiest to earn the least amount of money. I expected three small paychecks that would equal my rent but received only one. I was prepared to spend the next two weeks broke. I could barely afford to pay rent. But then… I got paid for…

  • 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…

  • Never Met Rafa Saavedra – TJ Times and Existence – Tap Tuesday Helps to Ponder Writer’s Block

    I don’t know much about Rafa Saavedra except what I’ve heard from people and the quotes that float around in la city. I’ve written snippets of his work here and there. I’m reading some right now. He died before my TJ times. He is considered a legend of Tijuana writing. A master of Spanglish. Somewhat…

  • It’s My Mom’s Birthday! – Valle de Guadalupe Time! – No Time To Blog

    I don’t have time for this shit. I wished I had time for this shit. But I got to jump in the shower. Get ready. Go to my brother’s place. And head to Valle de Guadalupe. It’s my mom’s birthday! Say happy birthday to my mom everyone!!! Also. If anyone knows of a job in…

  • 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…

  • Sick and Out of Sync (with the GF) – Back to Playing Classical Guitar (Finally! My Nails Are Long For a Reason) – Pre-Approved Writing Missions Ahead

    You know what? Fuck my body. It’s being fucking weird lately. Two weeks ago I was super sick with a stomach flu that I was afraid to leave the house in case of an accident. It was fucking horrible. I was afraid of eating as well. Yesterday and the day before I had continuous mucus. I…

  • Sick Again or Perhaps I Developed Allergies? – Local Tj Photo Projects (and More) – ACHOOOOOO!!!

    Good morning word vomit of a blog! …. AND! …. I am fucking sick again. I got the sniffles all day yesterday. But I didn’t think much about it. It was just a bit of a nasal congestion. I felt okay. I did a longer and harder workout than what I’m used too (finally, 100…

  • Pics of Fishies (and others) Published – Missed Fireworks Opportunity – Fixed my Guitar, Fixing Camera Up Next (and More Work)

    Published! Well… what I wrote on Monday got published Tuesday afternoon. HERE! Also! Soon to be published. Some pictures I took this past Friday for another story. And maybe more pictures? I’m not sure at this point. I think so, but perhaps not. There are no photo missions on the horizon. So I should do…

  • Back to Taking Hundreds of Pictures Daily – Girlfriend Quit Her Job (She Couldn’t Be Happier) – I Have Two Whiteboards and Many Missions

    My girlfriend went to work this morning at her usual time. She went casual. No need to look super godínez. Before I woke up… she was already back. She quit her job. I haven’t seen her this happy in a while. She’s already looking for another job and I trust that she will get a…

  • Time Wasting Monday – Netflix, Rain, Cold, And Drunk – Telling Shitty Jokes to Bradley Cooper

    A gallon of coffee and pizza for breakfast. It seems like I drink coffee more and more for less of the effect. It feels like Sunday. Mostly because I “worked” on Saturday. And by worked, I mean I partied. But hey. I got paid for it so yes, it is work. I have another work/party…

  • My Word Vomit is Like Pringles – Some Bald Gringo Mother Fucker Threatened me – Business Cards, Zelda, and Guitar

    Alright! Let’s do this! I don’t really have nothing to say and it’s very gray outside. But I know once I start, I can’t stop. My word vomit is like Pringles. Once I pop, I can’t stop. Here’s an unrelated baby hippo. I’ve been browsing Imgur as much as Reddit lately. They are very similar…

  • Photography is All I Want To Do – Writing is What I Should Do – Music is What I Studied

    I’ve spent my whole morning editing photos. Photos from Wednesday. Photos from yesterday. I took so many photos. I could have taken so many more. I want to only work in photography for now… But I know I must write to survive. That sounded shitty. Writing on my iPhone was fun yesterday. It was like…

  • It’s May – Nephew Turns 3 Today, I Turn 31 Soon – Busy The Next Three Days (and All of May)

    I woke up at 3ish am and couldn’t go back to sleep. So naturally, I played Zelda. Ran around everywhere for a while finding Korok Seeds and marking spots where Korok Seeds are, but I couldn’t figure out the riddle. There are many shrines and seeds to go still… and only one memory. I fell…

  • In Coronado from Tj – Beat Gannon – Shitty Post

    From Tijuana to Coronado. So close yet a million years apart. Coronado is one of the most expensive places to live in California, Tijuana the cheapest. But I got sent to here for work. Simple pictures. Now I have so much time to kill until my next shoot which should be around lunch time. It’s…

  • Broken Gear – High School Drawings – Work, Write, Pictures!

    This is one of the most painful things I’ve seen in a while. That’s not my gear. It belongs to Ryan Fu who amazingly still works as a paparazzi. He is one of the few that keeps at it. We rarely shot together, but I hung out with him at some pap parties. He is…

  • A Ship In The Woods Full Album – Finishing Taco Mission – If The World Had Downvotes

    A girl recently told me, “I just want to be insta famous.” You are a hot young girl. A selfie garners more likes than any picture I’ll ever take (unless if I take pictures of hot girls). It sounds silly. But I get it. We (or maybe not everyone) cares about getting some likes on…

  • She Missed Her Flight – I Did Nothing and Lost My Shit Sunglasses – Thwarted Plans, Now What?

    Well… Nothing went like planned. We went to try a new place by Pasaje Gomez that serves burgers and craft beer. She got a portobello burger, and I got the meat one with ham and bacon (and it was supposed to be a double, but I rather have just the single). They were both really…

  • Swell Time I’m Almost 31 – 4/20 Celebration Dumbfuckery – Too Many Car Options

    Here we go! Another day. Another word vomit. It feels like a Saturday. Alas, it is not. Ok. Getting way too distracted with Reddit, looking for cars, and reading articles. I have work to do…? Question mark? Haven’t had breakfast yet either. This day is going slow, and I’m doing nothing. Let’s change that. First…

  • My Life in Magazines (Again) – I Walked Shit Tons – And Tons and Tons and Tons of Pictures

    I had to edit yesterday’s post because posting on iPad sucks. I looked at the text and it looked all fucky. Dislike. Yesterday after Krakatoa cafe and breakfast sandwich, and abandoning the blog, the day was pretty fantastic. I did shit tons of walking. Probably like 8 miles of walking or more. Pokémon Go does…

  • My Girlfriend Broke Up With Me – Slow Morning – And No Car

    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’m Moving to Riverside to MAGA – Got the Master Sword – UCSD All Day Tomorrow

    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…

  • Lasagna for Breakfast – Paid Photo Mission #2 – Getting More Busy (Duh… Busier!)

    I don’t have much time to word vomit this morning. Adulting is getting serious and my calendar starts to get more packed. I have to run in less than 30 minutes to meet another writer to do some photographs for his story. It’s pay request Tuesday. And pay request I did. I woke up before…

  • Eating Meatsies for David’s Birthday – Stupid Thoughts About Men and Women – Start Already Sunday!

    My computer is running extra slow today. It got restarted yesterday over some stuff that had to be installed. I just said, “do it at night computer.” Wake up, and it is painstakingly slow. It’s getting there. It’s like still waking up. I need to dump everything in my hard-drive and clean this fucker. It’s…
