  • fraidy cat

    For all intents and purposes am a shit little fraidy cat when it comes to religion. Last night I dreamt I saw the universe riddled with letters and numbers. This would on other occasions be a rich source of inspiration but not this time nor when I was dreaming my dream. I remember seeing the…

  • The whip

    Every since I started my English studies my white professors usually tend to lash their structure whip at my writing. Here in Sweden, both at Stockholm University and Karlstad University I have come across the critique that my writing is erratic. I lack focus, there is no structure and they generally nag once they finally…

  • Charlie: real stories del Dandy del Sur

    Aquí­ en este blog y en el otro hemos hecho alarde de la negligencia que existe en la cultura tijuanense por nuestro lado anglo. En otras partes hemos escrito raudales por ese lado gringo nuestro. Atreverze a cruzar la lí­nea, Was heisst Aufklí¤rung?, Impasse, Culture Shifters and Tack Federico en donde Federico Campbell hace mención…

  • state of chicano research in Sweden

    Update: For those of you that know Swedish Eva Zetterman has placed on the web a little bit on art and media related to chicanos: Att skapa ett vi – gatukonst i Kalifornien She has also done it in English, so there is no need to panic: Signs of Identity Processes – Street Art in…

  • Absolut Aztlán

    Absolut Vodka pays homage to Aztlán, although not without ruffling some white feathers, off course. And then they say tin hat folk are nuts.

  • liberty of the press?

    Boy, one can’t really go by all the propaganda that spews out from the internet. Worst of all is that I use mostly official mouthspeaks as a news source. Dang, do they tend to be lopsided; everything to fit their customer: government and their ideological minions. Is there any real reporting going on in the…

  • Imported Cerveza

    This morning I am drawn to a particular memory that I cherish very much. It is its poignancy that made it last in my neurons. The event in question took place last year, 2007, during the month of July. I was off in Tijuana on a vacation that I had long awaited to take. During…

  • religious kerfuffle

    I believe I just shook the living lights and faith foundations out of a European or Scandinavian as they prefer themselves to be known. I don’t normally like to engage in this sort of intellectual bouts with any human being beside the blank pages that the Internet offer at the disposal of those who are…

  • Haven’t just

    I seem to recall Bartleby, that old Melville character that so baffles many of us in this so called modern world, whenever I cherish the idea of entertaining thoughts on Chicanismo. I feel am so way beyond that that the mere thought entails and automatic I prefer not to. I believe I have lost my…

  • U.S.-Mexico Security Cooperation

    I don’t think many mexicans care much about the aid but rather care about were that aid will end up. Many mexicans in my generation have known for years about the crookedness in the upper echelons of our society so it is not surprising that we tend to resist any help from the US. This…
