thats right. tina came on the radio today @ work.
theres rumor of an impending protest against don pryor @ KLBJ. ill keep yall updated on that.
i read an article on how homeless are being paid to stand in line for lobbyists. i wonder if they would stand in line for me @ the harry potter premiere @ the IMAX?
paying homeless people to stand in your place.... indeed.
i think hannah described my post latin american look as beach bum chic. its true. i like tshirts, flip flops, and jeans. fashion interests me little. which is strange, considering that my exes have all been fashionistas of some sort.
sometimes i wonder what it is that attracted them to me in the first place. aside from the fact that im semi-intelligent, inarticulate, and have nice cheekbones. ive been told that so many times i do believe it.
marlon brando was certifiably crazy. i want to find an apollonia. what a beauty.
so anyway, get it together.

human resources
im pretty sure the word 'wetback' is not making a comeback.
local radio host don pryor tries to bring back americana to replace 'illegal aliens' and 'illegal immigrants' with the word 'wetback' or in spanish, 'mojado.' my mom was a 'wetback' and so are my abuelitos. know what else they are? hard working tax paying citizens. my grandfather can barely walk after 40 years of working as a farmer in north texas. he did that so his kids could have better lives. and he came to texas in a dusty old chevy pickup, with a black duffel bag. he did not swim across the rio grande. so no actually, lets remember exactly who uses that word.
so are the people who work in restaurants, construction, and probably in your building. im pretty sure that people who complain about the 'wetbacks' dont complain when they eat the food they make, or live in the buildings they built, or eat the produce theyve grown.
im going to repost something i wrote about a year ago. because this issue does make me mad. i do believe firmly that words have as much power as you give them. as a writer, i understand this. the word 'wetback' makes me furious. thats why sometimes i do pick up on political moments, even if i avoid politics. because sometimes, we have to use the things we are good at to make a point.
if it werent for the pain and suffering of others, i and many others, would have nothing to write about. i wish i had nothing to write about. id be happy if the word undocumented didnt even exist. so thank you javy (the debate between who is a better poet should rage on - for i could never master the 5 minute poem as you could) for the shout out, but i want everyone to read the poem and realize that we live in a time of paid slavery, where the people doing the hard labor are the ones making this country go, and not the ones holding it hostage.
after all, we are just human resources

teen falls into manhole... while texting.
"there was like... no sudden warning of a big empty hole in the ground."
yes. there should most definitely have been a big red flag or a man jumping up and down telling you not to fall in the hole. anything to not interrupt your texting.
