Hello!

Aprendí­.

de los 50’s.

Me convencí­a a mí­ mismo: they own me a living. Granted, me robé la frase de The Smiths.

Aún así­, impulsado por ese destino que impulsó a los del Manifest Destiny, mi destino era robarles una educación: lo confieso, la mitad de lo que soy me lo robé, granted, I had to the reading, pero pagar las cuotas para ser aceptado dentro del sistema en parte fue un mal subsidio. Unas palabras mal tergiversadas aseguraron continuidad, avance.

So sue me. I educated myself by whatever means necessary.

Realmente no suelo hacer este tipo de confesionestan abiertamentemente pero como esto trata de identidad requiero de ante todo un pizca de honestidad hacia mi mismo.

Antes me daba vergíüenza decirlo, mas ahora lo anuncio: me robé mi educación, por la mitad de ello o por lo menos, digamos, fui un inmigrante, un cerebro fugado, que estudió, para servir a su paí­s, darle impuestos, y aún así­, cual sacrificio azteca ante esos dioses, derramé sangre, sudor, penas y unas cuantas otras lastimas para poder sobrevivir el dí­a, bajo un salario que me dierá, el diario devenir, la comida, el techo y un fantasma de deportación cual látigo moderno.
