Extreme Casual
Alright, I’ll spill the frijoles de la olla. I have always desired to look more gentlemanly like. You know, GQ like. Tux, cigarr, style and all that. Sometimes I feel I was born into it, damn if I don’t feel like a mill bucks on any damn afternoon in May along the park. It’s like…

To the legions of my reader fans who await not a minute before I clamp down the keyword with whatever oozez down my brain, I say no x-mas to you. Alas! I am desillusioned with the lot of humanity so seek not the jule tides with jingles in every pimple million of innocent smirks cause.…

Something the Lord Made
Even the title of the movie is ambiguous: Something the Lord Made, with Alan Rickman and Mos Def, both, without doubt, astounding actors who contribute to their art in many ways. The movie is set in the Jim Crow era when blacks had to seat at the back of the buses and when blacks had…

Damn, I just had my time confiscated by gringos. I was reading over at the Agonist chunky bits of wisdom that, alas! goes unheeded by most and, as Dr. House points out, the White House ain’t so cause of the facade. (forget what episode). Either way, just grab a wad of these as we are…

The Woman by the Laguna de Chicabal
Este gabacho gives the Maya Culture a new cultural twist In fact, I liked the story so much that I hijacked the entire narrative and placed it here, where it might get a chance to stand on itself through your Xican@ eyes. … A young Mayan woman walks along the Laguna de Chicabal. The lake…

I got my first anti-aztlán comment in like eons or shoud I say first one at all? Come to pappa baby, let me see you walk … I think that this “Aztlan†bull-s**t needs to end NOW! The Government claims that it is finally going to do something about it, but until I see bus…

Can you see a smile in my face? It’s right here, next to my dimple … Tijuana is a city that goes above “violent & chaotic”. Is volatile like the souls that utilize it as a springboard to jump accross to the other side, thru the river or the desert. It is a mixing bowl…

Tijuana is Aztlán too
Dios mio, like finding the Holy Grail: LV: The problem is very deep here. And I hope that in this interplay, as we get cultural exchanges and we get more aware, that Mexico will begin to see it’s own reflection in Chicano works like we see ourselves in Mexican works. VP: And is that already…

The query at hand is what is a Xican@? I readily admit that this frase in itself is a rather ambiguos one at that. I may apoligize for that at some time in the future, though that future escapes las yemas de mis dedos in this moment. Now, I wrote at la Bloga a discourse…

I shall defend thee, gente Xicana
I usually don’t mingle my Spanish and English though am known by my most fervent reader, editor, proofreader, slacker, gíüevón, patron (that is, me) to occasionally indulge in doing so. So far I have managed to mesh the prime philosophy behind my chicanismo, that is, Xicanismo from Tijuana. I am from two nations albeit my…

help, I can’t figure out a title for this post
The good xente over at la bloga have a good discussion going on. Not because the comments of the offices at Yonder Lies It received an answer but because it is clear to the xente del más allá, who for an odd reason of sorts, frecuent the offices, seem to be in agreement (though Geronimo…

Apá cierre las ventanas, the Swedish winter days with their cold winds are sneaking in, there is a draft. Txale m’ijo, don’t give me any of that military jingoism in the weather nor that Father Winter caca, fuchila. The only winds allowed here are the Santa Ana winds. Traitor to proper Mexicans and an unholy…
