one last time
I must confess that when I think of this blog its death is my wish. I want to do away with it yet somehow, it remains. This is due because all my ideas are channeled throught the spanish blog and by the time I near this blog I have emptied my soul unto…
Read MoreKnow thyself
Mi pecho grita por dentro la falta de ganas o el saciamento de algo muy bueno tornado malísimo. El vacio de afuera me llena la mirada de nada. No hay humor. Es tiempo de reflexión. Andar solo, pensar. Caminar por las calles y dejar que la vida corra su…
Read MoreChican@s and Wikipedia
Oh no you didn’t. Boy do I have bones to pick here. I shall be dishing out more than I bargained for but one can’t overstate the deliciousness of the subject. Right now I am about to do serious deconstructing over at Wikipedia and give them a…
