blog/vlogging , planning adventures , reading up, the northwest and the southwest (i'll just say The West), speaking spanish and spanglish, struggling to keep my idealism, couchsurfing, mi familia, movies (everything about them - all of them, good or bad), imagining my life narrated by Arundhati Roy, finding the xicanista inside me and bringing her out to change the world!
the succubus hunter! also, this kid .
Now me and Delia singin' every Sunday,
Watchin' the children in the garden grow.
We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
But the music ain't got no soul.
Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard.
They got money but they don't have Cash.
They got Junior but they don't have Hank.
I think, I think, I think the rest is
A long time gone...

"Harvey and I sit in the bars... have a drink or two... play the juke box. And soon the faces of all the other people, they turn toward mine and they smile. And they're saying, 'We don't know your name, mister, but you're a very nice fella.' Harvey and I warm ourselves in all these golden moments. We've entered as strangers - soon we have friends. And they come over... and they sit with us... and they drink with us... and they talk to us. They tell about the big terrible things they've done and the big wonderful things they'll do. Their hopes, and their regrets, and their loves, and their hates. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar. And then I introduce them to Harvey... and he's bigger and grander than anything they offer me. And when they leave, they leave impressed. The same people seldom come back; but that's envy, my dear. There's a little bit of envy in the best of us. "
