Correle, pero si ya
I got a hold of this post on Shovelware. Go read it, it’s full of godies from the San Diego-Tijuana border area, my area. And more text related theories on Xicanismo, links and what not. It’s an update, I know, am munching it as we speak, qué esperas, órale! I may spit out a few…

untitled yu-7
Writing in blogs has given me a distaste for much of what I deem cultural ideologies. For me, this means the one that says we are descendents of spaniards and aztecs. I now laugh when I hear people in my surroundings expressing admiration at this ‘fact’. I generally feel repulse at what europeans have done…

The ultra rich hitman
El fact of the matter es que el mundo is just ripe enough para algo. Qué algo no sé. Mas el sistema que cunde por el mundo doesn’t necessarily apply to the structures that govern us. Governments try to play the ethics rule for the majority pero la minority that rules the world no juega…

Our heroes are your criminals

The most humane headline can be found at the above link. The rest is just gíüero dribble gore about law and order rethoric that they have been pushing…

La Jade
Go read a mi conciudadana Jade at Te darí¬a mi vida pero la estoy usando… Her acculturation just rips my guts apart pero that’s what the process indicates. Para empezar, I`m in a new school in the US. I studied there before, a long time ago, and I missed being foreign because gringos think you…

He descubierto que el Mezcal no sirve para las actividades mentales. Es una bebida bruta. Si tomo whisky eso ayuda, no sé porque, ni me pregunten porqué. Sólo sé que Mezcal no sirve para disfrutar un rato la computadora. Or at the very least it takes a while before one can enjoy the effects of…

Smell it like it is: Sabotage
The president’s office said Thursday that all available evidence suggested bad weather led to a helicopter crash that killed Public Safety Secretary Ramón Martín Huerta, Federal Preventive Police Commissioner Tomás Valencia, five other passengers and a crew of two. The fact of the matter is that arms smuggling from the US into México has increased…

¡Gracias Aztlán!
Ok, first and foremost my deepest apoligies to Pachuco, who surprisilingly enough, agrees with me that returning territories to proper México contravenes the very fabric of the Xicano ens But señot Martínez, what are you apoligizing for? Sí, that is correct, forget my digressions. It is a custom I drag over from spanish. It is…

for those not in the know
Ana Castillo is blogging, seemingly, full time. Viva Chicago ese! While you are at it go watch a video that my conciudadano Ilich Sabotage made. It’s a fictional account of middle class drug dealers in Tijuana, it’s just as if it were the bare truth ese.
