  • the reinvention of zero

    Para cuando me acordé de él y su Mezzotint ya habí­an pasado varias imágenes en my mind. Estaba buscando un nombre para ponerle a la barrita de messenger que pide hacerlo: el mio lo pide en sueco, klicka hí¤r fí¶r blah, blah. Fue entonces que me acordé de este escritor inglés. Escribí­: Hay una pintura…

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson: voz de Aztlán

    Me causó sorpresa ver que BR sabe de Ralph Waldo Emerson. Me sorprendió porque no sé si sabe que Ralph Waldo Emerson es un héroe Xicano. Ralph Waldo Emerson se opusó a la guerra contra México y es uno de los pocos intelectuales de aquellos tiempos que declararon su clara oposición a la guerra entre…

  • yupi!

    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…

  • Tejaztlán

    I’ve seen Califas. Writing Califas in a piece of paper or anywhere else, your left buttock, for example, means that Aztlán is not too far from you. Usually the address is Califas, Aztlán. I suppose that Tejas would be the one to drape it self with the word Aztlán all over. Like a sarape from…

  • Tifton: my kind of heroes

    TIFTON — Saddened by the killings of six Mexican immigrants in his town, Mayor Paul Johnson flew their country’s flag outside his City Hall in their honor. Foreign flags weren’t a first for the south Georgia city — Canadian flags routinely fly outside motels there in honor of snowbirds who drive through to spend their…
