Bill Richardson, Ruben Salazar, Pedro J. Gonzales, & Henry Gonzales
Curiosly enough I had built high expectations regards these past few days. I was particularly enthused by the announcement of the Democratic party declaring that the response to President Bush State of the Union address would be retorted in spanish by the Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson, he is Mexican American I’ll have you…

California, Bustamante and MeCHA
Citizens against citizens, a view of the blog world led me to interesting commentary on this as they avalanched Cruz Bustamante on his allegiances to MeCHA. There was a conserted effort to question Bustamantes real intentions to get to power as if becoming governor of California would entail the power to return California back to…

Proto-spanglish
Curiously, as we drove down from Sweden’s Highlands to Paris back in July of this year, I noticed along the German Autobahn and other less known roads to Liege to Paris, that trailers from Portugal carried a legend in their back of their trucks that said: VEHICULO LONGO. I loved it, and I would have…

Long for the soul
Upon the mountain sits young Ximenez Looking at the sunset, thinking about Icarus Wondering Icarus goal, seeing the sun’s rings Staring at the albino white display of the disc as a cloud of a menacing storm whizzes by in late formation He wanted to rip the curtains of the charade That which is between the…

I had a dream last night
We, the Xikano raza, have become inheritors of Adam, Jefferson, Franklin and Washington’s democratic principles. They understood we would understand as soon as their heirs lost all sight of all the goals of the American Dream due to their stupid blinding patriotism. Off course, I know they were all dead before we were even born,…

Anna Lindh
Funny how things work out in the day-to-day basis. As I sat in the kitchen absorbing the days events I pensively mourned Anna Lindh’s death, I didn’t think too much, only a few conspiracies crept up in me, and I began to wonder how is it that I am so affected by the death of…

The horror, the horror
Some crazy ass shit, white man’s preoccupations and the plight Africa underwent. So here at the university of Stockholm English Institute one of their favorite texts is Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. The idea is to dissect the text and look at it through the prism of many researchers eye and even to shed some…

Raza Cosmica
It has occurred to me that Xicanos are a new sort of mestizo, a raza in itself. While our ancestors are for the most part mestizo in as far as they are of two races, one combining aspects of the more European traits and another one and perhaps the raison de etre for the most…

Pochismo
It seems as though Pochismo is hailing a revival unprecedented in the history of our young culture. Just as chicano was once a denigrating term and later spoused as a badge of honor so is pochismo doing that as well and with what a bang! Curiously enough, pochismo is embracing that which many chicanos are…

Such a decade ago
Yesterday I was such the decade ago, I swear to god, I was deep in a contorted repressed laughter and in awe at the things I did. So what did I ever do that threw me back not only a decade but nearly a decade and a half back? Well for the first I peeled…

Husserlian Theory
Ok, now this is really something that makes you definitely scratch your head, I mean, this is amazing stuff in that if you thought of talking pointlessly in very fashionable manner then Husserlian thinking is the answer for you. Who is Husserl anyways? just click away but don’t blame me later if you just shake…

England o England
I lived in England once in 1998, Bournemouth, in Dorset, and while that coast town brought nice memories, far more than Paris ever did, believe me, the biggest impression left on me wasn’t the quaint seaside lifestyles nor the fact that Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is buried there but rather England’s immigration and customs services. At…
