About Me

Dinnertime with my family

My Interests

Motorcycle riding (and racing), Soccer, Rugby, Drinking Mate, Traveling South America, Dancing Badly, Chess, Capoeira, Mountain Biking, utilizing public transportation, and developing a life in common.

I'd like to meet:

Folks that know un altro mondo è possibile

Music:

Any music that is created from moments where people said "All right, fuck you. I’ll stomp on wood then"

Movies:

The brothers came with guns; they left with jobs. Oh, yes, whitey is very tricky.

Television:

..

Books:

Selya Benhabib - The Rights of Others: Aliens, Residents and CitizensImperialism, Slavery, Genocide, and Rum: One out of Four Ain't Bad. (It may also be known as "And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails" by Wayne Curtis).

Heroes:

All those who came down out of the mountains on Jan. 1st, 1994. Smilin' Sid Hatfield (Whose story convinced me that not all law enforcement is bad). I am not sure who one of my heroes is, but it might be Rafael Sebastián Guillén Vicente. Most of all, all the students I have ever worked with.

Thank you Marco, and RIP

In a world where politicians are often justifiably derided, we have lost one that did justice to the term "public servant."Marco Firebaugh, who passed away this morning, was a tireless advocate for ju...

Day laborer? I'm a Professor from UNAM!

Sadly, the end is near for the single most intelegent show ever to be produced for television.  The humor is layered like the dough for french pastry...I am so sad it is going off the air.  ...
