Yonder Lies It

Månad: mars 2003

  • La verdad sea dicha estoy feliz de no estar en Aztlán, la verdad, sufrí­ mucho bajo el regimen de Pete Wilson, las persecusiones psicologicas no se hicieron esperar en aquel entonces. Me imagino vivir allí­ hoy insoportable, bajo la tensión en que se encuentra el mundo de los gabacho en este momento. La comunidad Chicana…

  • When it comes to languages it seems to me rather curious the stance some people take. I remember as a child how embarrassed I was to speak Spanish. I recall how one day we came to my grandmother’s in TJ and how, in spite of being raised by her, and just only two years before…

  • What is it about two people that just want each other? There are two things I loathe, hunger and sex, they distract me from my studies, they do, they really do. – Wanna drink coffee? – No thanks, am bored, I don’t know where am going, what I want nor a purpose; I am already…

  • Since last monday Jean Paul Marat has been in my head. In particular the painting Jaque Louis David did of him titled Marat Assasiné . I first came across him through a book by Peter Weiss that I must of surely found in a second hand bookshop back in the states. I must of liked…

  • Act one: Drama out of proportions Anton: It will go fast, the remorse and qualms ails us, I promise it will go quickly. Cleops: We can not stand idle and do nothing. In history we will go down as the most cowards of all generations. Having power, we did not use it. Instead, we remain,…

  • Bueno, la guerra esta puesta a empezar. No hay nada en el mundo que lo impida. Historicamente los mandos militares tienen su propia manera de pensar. Nunca le hacen caso al pueblo, aun como un paí­s que se jacta de democrata como los EEUU. ¿Y quién puede con un ejercito de risas? dice Chomsky, casi…

  • I find it interesting to find interesting people. But these dark glasses season has got to stop, a little sunlight and suddenly non-vampires turn vampires, the sun turns into an anathema and the curses begin. Maybe it’s all in the squinting. Sweden is funny in that way. They curse the winter and they curse the…

  • La verdad sea dicha, y conste que no digo que la diga, me gusta ver a las mujeres. No, me encanta. Son hermosas, me gusta, y siempre veo algo hermoso en ellas. Aquí­ en Escandinavia me llaman la atención por la frialdad esa que muestran, parece que no, pero, se arreglan. Yo no sé como…

  • Well, being a writer is far more difficult than expected, and this at the Creative Writing level. It occurred to me the reason, the possible raison d’íªtre, that many writers lead a life that is tumultuous is because to many this is the only source of inspiration, they love so much what they do, that…

  • Went out for a stroll and decided to take a book with me, so I took David Lodge along. I started reading Consciousness and the Novel (2002) in the beginning of the term. I found it in the New Books section of Stockholms Library. Of eleven essays, two I totally skipped, of which the remaining…
