“So fresh n’ so clean/ clean,” quoth Outkast. But Jesus knew it would not last for long. It was Bear Trap at MJ’s, after all. 

It’s my last Bear party in L.A. for at least another month. Then, to Texas for a month of recovery.

It’s Taco Tuesday. Jasmine and I are serving up duck lips and West Coast attitudes. EAT IT!!!

Y’know, cuz it got me through graduate school.

“There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.” - Frida Kahlo

Ay mi queridisima Frida - cuantas veces nos arrancaremos nuestros propios corazones. Por una razon o otra. 

And to celebrate, a whole weekend with my family. We made pizza box swords last night. 

“Los Chicanos, how patient we seem, how very patient. There is the quiet of the Indian about us. We know how to survive. When other races have given up their togue, we’ve kept ours. We know what it is to live under the hammer blow of the dominant norteamericano culture. But more than we count the blows, we count the days the weeks the years the centuries the eons until the white laws and commerce and customs will rot in the deserts they’ve created, lie bleached. Humildes yet proud, quietos yet wild, nostros los Mexicanos Chicanos will walk by the crumbling ashes as we go about our business. Stubborn, persevering, impenetrable as stone, yet possessing a malleability that renders us unbreakable, we, the mestizas and mestizos, will remain.” - Gloria Anzaldua, “How To Tame a Wild Tongue”

Gracias, Gloria. Por tus consejos y sabiduria. Por asegurarme que no estoy solo en este mundo.
