Day One
I realized how weird it is for me to speak my native languages outside the restricted areas of my life. I for one seldom use Spanish as a means to communicate in Sweden. I have one, two at most, people where I tend to flush out the Old Cervantes and imposible bard out in full…

No nos cairía mal
The Hatch Act of 1939 is a United States federal law whose main provision is to prohibit federal employees (civil servants) from engaging in partisan political activity. Named after Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico, the law was officially known as An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities. De reciente me he visto admirando la…

Ni se las olieron
En los foros de política mexicana se cuenta que dicen las malas lenguas que Mario Villanueva Madrid, ex gobernador de Quintana Roo, era un as baja la manga del PRIAN para controlar al viejo dinosaurio del PRI. Y es que ese ejemplo mediático de seguro tiene más que asustado a dos que tres gober preciosos…

Omar Pimienta
We have a very nice snippet of a side of Aztlán we seldom get to hear. Yes, there are countless of stories about how we came to be in Aztlán but very seldom is there any picture or specific location that pin points the odyssey. A fellow conciudadano of mine, Omar Pimienta, he of the…

Fantastically Pontius Pilatus
Been sort of following the fuss that a candid outburst by Jessica Alba has created. I first read it here and then occasionally peek here for any further reactions to it. I don’t think Jessica Alba realizes how much rooted racism is there in her candid declaration that she ain’t no’mo Mexican. I don’t think…

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…

allá donde las águilas vuelan
Recuerdo mucho nuestras incursiones al Infonavit, o la Mesa allá por mi ciudad Tijuana. Los del terre del Maya 13 [Ave. Mutualismo entre 2nda y 3ra] siempre pensábamos que eso era uf! allá por donde las águilas vuelan, o si no por aquellos rumbos de aquel dicho mexicano que minimiza distancias con un mojo de…

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…
