  • The neighbours

    I just tweeted that Sweden needs an ”American Dream” of sorts. Something that says that you can make it here no matter where you come from. Not because everyone needs to make it but to make sure that there isn’t one race that feels that it’s better above than the rest. They can think whatever…

  • This sojourn

    I guess I can call it a sojourn. My stay in this place of the world. But the more I think of it the more it seems I am not leaving. Where would I go? I am afraid of my economic situation and I ain’t getting younger. On the other hand I also feel the…

  • Eels

    Estoy enamorado. Y los Eels son la perfecta banda para ello. So am in love. Solo falta que ella lo sepa también. How do you declare love to a goddess? Ever seen that Scrubs episode were guys are like babies because the women are in charge? That’s me. This woman is, wow to the nth…

    Me he imaginado mil conversaciones contigo, mil momentos en que tu sonrisa me corresponde y aún así­ persisto, en esta ilusión que se llama tú.

    Ever wonder why? People don’t approach, the stench of death scares them off I believe. I wonder, how I survived to this day Alone, even before birth or death in a bar drinking alone in a room full of people scared to approach they smell, I think, the stench of death. Or maybe am repeating…

  • The sham of the 16th

    I understand my compatriots abroad, the ones who can’t even sum up a good word for mexicanos en el exterior in English so as to sound exotic or romantic, at least half way decent and unbureaucratic, nope, they call themselves, expats, like gringos do. I suppose the whole ethos of the Hispanic is always rooted…

  • Competing languages

    I feel comfortable to say am a trilingual. Having said that I can proceed with a phenomenon that I have experienced as a trilingual, newly at that if one wills. I get stuck at times. Allow me to expand. I suppose imagery ought to come handy in these sort of explanations. Imagine three people trying…

  • Se nos acerca el 2/11

    El extranjero. La muerte. Sus costumbres; aquí­, allá. Qué más da. Tiempos de sentir – así­ ese alguien fuese tu madre quien feneció. Ahora morir es un mero proceso protocolario. Una serie de procesiones documentadas. Siempre sorprende la reacción Luterana. Esa reacción Utilitarania irresistible. En sueco dicen que alguien har gí¥tt ur tiden, es decir,…
