  • Dear One

    Would it just be possible to somehow churn out something in English these days? Frankly speaking, I am at a loss, have I abandoned the I which speaketh the Bard’s tongue? And do tell, why is it that I harbor no animosity towards Shakespeare yet I do so towards el Manco de Lepanto? Isn’t there…

  • tenkius, denankius.

    While denankius can trace its origin to mockery of the imitation of saying de nada with an Anglo pronunciation thus producing the lexeme denankius its ramifications are yet to be explored. Denankius occurs because we southwestern peeps try to do a reduplication, a rhyme if you will. tenkius, denankius. Denankius arises as a silly imitation…

  • Useless

    With the English Only debate raging across the states of the US and a personal conclusion along the linguistic lines of learning a new language there is much to be said regards the topic at hand. English Only is one of those distracting issues which political Republicans in the dual political establishment of Washington tend…

  • alguna verdad

    In the business of brain development. Jode, that surely doesn’t pay off.

  • Nihilism

    Finally, I think I pretty much got rid of all the readers that I accumulated over the years. Intrinsic nihilism what not. Well, not entirely, I am afraid that I have to be more honest in my rudeness. Fact of the matter is that I am a trilingual writer. No if’s and’s or but’s, fair…

  • Faith based Lectores

    The power of the word never ceases to impress me. Especialmente cuando esas palabras conforman parte del lienzo donde se pinta al ser que supuestamente deberí­a corresponder a la imagen que las palabras muestran. This becomes moreso a truth on the internet where the word adquieres ready made power, so much is taken for granted…

  • The Metrosex in me

    When I go the market I look for fresh produce be it vegetables, fruits or, je! beer. Yet the brits somehow have a weird and twisted meaning to it that just baffles the living daylights out of my Xicano skull. Israel in fresh Lebanon strikes Fresh fighting on Lebanon border Fresh Lebanon bombing kills three…

  • Pinches monolingíües

    Otra vez me llegó la pregunta: ¿qué se siente escribir en tres idiomas?, esta vez de parte de un blog sueco al que, por alguna razón, le parece ardua la labor de poder escribir en tres idiomas. Se les hace mucho tener tres blogs cuando ellos si apenas se dan abasto con uno y hasta…

  • Inglés Xicano

    I can’t help notice the noise that the right wingnuts make regards Aztlán and Chicanos and the whole culture clash enchilada. Specially English. I still have a few problems with English. I grew up never feeling that English was part of me. It was a terrible atmosphere. Every vowel, every consonant got the third degree.…

  • Nihil est ab omni parete beatum

    Soy nihilista. Siempre lo he sido. In the end, no habrá nada. Por eso el optimismo de ciertos escritores me dan risa, mucha risa. Se preocupan por un legado que no durará. Algún dí­a este planeta terminará como otros planetas del universo, en un vil cometa que rondea en una órbita indeseable. Nadie sabrá lo…
