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…

Salecita
Can barely move a finger without causing a tsunami of sweat in me. Profusely alltsí¥. I suppose its to do with the mexican gene thang. Had I been in good ol’Califas this would not be so notorious. After all, one is by default a shadow seeker. We seek the fresh of the darkness. Either that…

Tajm
I like the swenglish version of the word time. They write it the way I titled this post, tajm. It occurred to me that I place a somewhat sentimental value to it inasmuch as it reminds me of the Spanglish word taimar, which means to tame, because tajm happens to have nearly the same phonological…

Thor and mua
Have had a weird headache today. Someone told me it was because thunder weather was in the air. I never realized that one could be influenced by the weather in such a fashion. I suppose I never thought about how the weather might affect the body. It reminds me a little about the crazy notion…

Sweden and a comment or two about the upcoming elections
Believe it or not Sweden is too having an election this year but you wouldn’t notice by the raucus the elections churn out in news pieces such of the likes as whether a politician can make noise at a local shopmall rather than the issues at hand, what issues Julio? Yeah, me and hundreds [of]…

Hot in cool Sweden
Blimey o’reilly! I actually felt a whiff of hot air run through my scarcely hairy arm yesterday. I know, it’s summer, finally, no, really, I mean finally. I can tell because my skin gets a glow on it and man does it look good. I love the alive look on it. No, am not a…

Y Abril un poco más …
My street, on this Swedish Spring day, painted relentlessly grey insists on a blue sky above grizzled hues, nordic winds caress my cheeks I feel blood rushing. last autumn’s now browned dried leafs leave brittled noises on the local thoroughfare where nordic winds rush at earshot speed crisply criss-crossed echos of a now hardened golden…
