Cancer's a Bitch OR "why is it so hard to die?"
Cancer has been a part of my life, since I was a child. I have always known and lived with cancer. Never in my body, but always in close proximity to my body. In fact, it is my worst nightmare. Today 2010 is no different. In the 1980s, I was just getting to know all [...]
Coche
I have found some wheels. A 1997 Volkswagen Jetta. It is a 5-speed Manual Transmission, and I trust it to get me to where I need to be! This will certainly add some color to my life! I will likely have to think of a name for this coche!

I Am Joaquin
I have been drawn to this poem for some time. There is spirit to Corky Gonzales’ poem, a spirit for which I am searching and desperately trying to hang onto. I feel like I have a white knuckle grip on life sometimes. I list Judith Baca’s painting (my favorite) to give visibility to women of [...]
As Is
Sometimes all I need is some Ani DiFranco to give me some rhythmic poetry and perspective. Thanks to la persona who reminded me of this piece! “AS IS” you can’t hide behind social graces so don’t try to be all touchy feely cuz you lie in my face of all places but i’ve got no [...]
Being Compelled to Write…
Some make fun of my use of the word “compel.” But, my guess is that they do not know from where it comes. It comes from G. Anzaldúa, the one person I think that makes sense to me. Oh, there is that other one… Here’s some great Anzaldúa quotes: “Why am I compelled to write?… [...]
Lunching in El Salvador
Today I had lunch at El Chalate on Colfax. If you live in or near Denver, CO, you should check it out! I’d be happy to go with you! It is one of my more favorite places to get Latin American food. I went w/ un amigo de La Comunidad. The food is great at [...]
Visiting your Grave
I am attempting to work up the courage to visit your grave. This is the first step of my process. I think about you often. In fact, as as summer approaches and with a pending rafting trip this week down the Arkansas river, you are ever present in and on my mind. It is as [...]
Deep in Thought | Profundo/a en el Pensamiento
Limited blogging until the Spring quarter is over (June 4th). I am deep in thought about all things related to bodies, space, and epistemic authority.
Politics & Choice OR The Politics of Choice
I have recently been thinking about choice and the politics of my own choices. I have also been thinking a lot about race, and the politics of race and the choices raced people make, specifically, though, my choices as a raced (ambiguously) person. I went to see Ira Glass last night at the Paramount Theater [...]

- Homophobia September 3, 2010Unfortunately, we live in a world of hate. And, sometimes that hatred, whether we recognize it as such or not, lives close to us. This is my response to your hatred!
