Haven’t just
I seem to recall Bartleby, that old Melville character that so baffles many of us in this so called modern world, whenever I cherish the idea of entertaining thoughts on Chicanismo. I feel am so way beyond that that the mere thought entails and automatic I prefer not to. I believe I have lost my…

U.S.-Mexico Security Cooperation
I don’t think many mexicans care much about the aid but rather care about were that aid will end up. Many mexicans in my generation have known for years about the crookedness in the upper echelons of our society so it is not surprising that we tend to resist any help from the US. This…

One does after all feel as throwing the towel. I do feel that I am losing it. I never had trouble dealing with two languages. Yet being so far away from the center of gyration that rules my bilingualism has caused an atrophy of sorts. One can not complain after all, it has been little…

rantissimus annoyenius
I have come to the conclusion that I don’t like wordpress. IT makes it difficult for me to save and I find it too troublesome to do anything with it. For example, the tags I use for technorati disappear everytime I edit the post. Perhaps I should learn to wait for the tags until am…

I know that smile will shine upon the lips I once kissed or caressed the moment I caress the calaca. It pleases me to no end to see you satisfied you got the best of this life. Yes, that smile of yours, that repressed smirk, will have its day, it’s gaudy day: when I bite…

The I of the bilingual
Something is happening to my English. I am becoming more aware of it. Ever since I took on the job of learning Swedish this change has been brought upon me through a very surreptitious way that, sutil. Though I insistently argue that Spanglish is my first language due to ideological reasons, and more importantly because…

Dear One
Would it just be possible to somehow churn out something in English these days? Frankly speaking, I am at a loss, have I abandoned the I which speaketh the Bard’s tongue? And do tell, why is it that I harbor no animosity towards Shakespeare yet I do so towards el Manco de Lepanto? Isn’t there…

Just do it ese
I believe that Chicanos in general ought to stay clear out of politics. And if they must they should not use chicanismo as a tool to said enterprise. Chicanismo ought to be as American as American Pie. For example, no one questions white folk their background, do they now? Yes smart aleck, there is some…

Politically uncorrect: I’m an unaffiliated Xicano
“Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in” Michael Corleone in The Godfather III. According to Carlota Cardenas quoted by Alicia Gaspar de Alba in the book that reviews the CARA Exhibition named “Chicano Art†she says, that . [sic] to apply (the word chicana) [sic] to oneself is a…

Back of the Sagrario Matropolitano
Backside of the Sagrario Metropolitano in Mexico City, DF. This parish church, quite independent of the Cathedral, adjoins it on the east. Built to the design of Lorenzo Rodriguez and consecrated in 1768, the Sagrario Metropolitano is one of the finest examples of Mexican Churrigueresque.
