When death creeps around the corner part 2
last night i found out that a dear friend of mine past on to the next world, brother Lalo passed away july 14th while coming back home from Lakota territory. He was involved in a vehicle accident which claimed his life and that of his daughter. He will not be alone in his journey to the next life, he will met up with all our ancestors and warriors before us. He will be were my mama jovita is at and my primo tavo. Ill will miss my friend, it hurts me very much that he is gone and that i couldnt say good by. I guess when you die you dont have much of a choice to say anything because when death comes it creeps around the corner...

I challenge myself to see beyond the rhetoric that many of us surround ourselves with as activist,
I have already made my mind up brothers and sisters,
I chose not live behind false curtains of words that describe my life and what I believe in
As some do,
But I choose to show you with my life, sacrificing to this movement that history is yet to be written,
That the hungry shall have food,
That the sick shall have health care,
That the ignorant shall be enlightened,
That the worker shall have the right to work,
And that all people regardless of color, religion, sexual orientation shall have a home to live in and justice for all.

Keep moving keep running don’t look back you can’t stop you wont stop I wont let you stop I know your tired, so am I but we must move on.
As I hold your hand before we jump I take a deep breath in hailing the negativity of your life to consume it for myself attempting to lesson the burden.
I fall back hit the concrete head first and awake from the deep sleep. You lay next to me with that beautiful smile that I love to look at.
Nirvana.

Honduras
So it has happend again, Central America is being held hostage once again by the tenticles of fascist. After so many years of struggle so many years of death squades we have arrived at this point in which the people of honduras are fighting to stay afloat. We must be clear that these acts of tyranny must not be supported we must resist and stand in solidarity with the poeple of honduras. If we as the people of this continent are to build a better world, one where many worlds fit we must unite and struggle against all tyranny. I stress these points...against all tyranny!

When death Creeps around the corner
It’s like we don’t know or can’t figure out the mysteries of dying or living, we live a life then we die that’s life. Sometimes you go out unexpectedly God catches you off guard. God?. It’s funny that I think about him or she right now or maybe it’s appropriate to think of God when you think of passing to the next life. I met this nice man on Monday and it’s interesting because we began talking about God or better yet the search for him. We had a good discussion about religion and church how many ministers now a day’s only seek the profits that come with the business of church and religion. Anyway I say this because im going to miss my cousin Tavo I remember the last time I saw him in 2006 when my grandmother passed away I guess it only seems strange that the next time I come around to this side of the world is to come and see him go off to the next life, if there is such a thing. This some hell of a way to spend my birthday, oh yeah happy birthday to me, 23.
May 7th 2009
It was hot, my stomach was twisting and turning I got to Mexico city at around 5am picked me up a cup of coffee trying to catch my other flight I wasn’t aloud to go in with my drink. I made the mistake of drinking it fast, and not being such a big coffee drinker that’s when my stomach started felling like shit. I took my other flight at around 9:50am waiting for three hours the flight was ok better then the five hour sardine tight ass flight I took to get to Mexico. I finally got to Aguascalientes at around ten and was picked up by my cousins I got San Juan at around twelve and I was met with broken hearted mothers and fathers sobbing for their dead children. I saw my cousin lying in his casket his face purple and a little disfigured form the impact of the truck that hit them. I feel sad for my uncle and my auntie the pain that they expressed was felt in my heart. Im going to miss my cousin Tavo even though we weren’t the closest of cousins but still familiy is family and my primo is gone never to be seen again.

Roaming the main plaza in San Juan de los Lagos takes me to another world, a world in which I’m not accustoming too. Elders that can barely walk attempt to make their way to the cathedral where in one glance their legs have given up on them but their faith maintains them up. The town is one of the oldest in the region, it’s known for their virgin in which every august the streets are filled with people coming to worship her. We finally left at around 11:30 am heading back to Mexico City leaving behind my grieving uncles who had lost their son, my cousin, the night before. We first arrived to San Juan Del Rio Queretaro at around 4pm and spent the night there before headed of the next day arriving here in Mexico at around 3:30pm. The city never seems to surprise me with its congested streets and smog filled air I get the chills being here. I hope to go to El Zocalo tomorrow for my birthday.
The real swine is the capitalist!
Since I’ve gotten to Mexico there’s been this non stop talk about the “epidemic” that is hitting the nation. The epidemic flu that is running ramped through the dirty filthy streets of Mexico. An epidemic that has claimed 40 lives in a population of 26 million! …An epidemic that has claimed 40 lives in a population of 26 million (wtf?). Its interesting how people become manipulated by the media and have been forced to shut down their businesses, schools, everything but the giants like walmart remain open. Its seems like to me that the real swine is the capitalist who only puts the people through harder economic turmoil more then it already is. I mean you put them through this and then here come the world health organization and loans you a few million dollars to help fight this wide spread epidemic. My only question is where’s the struggle to fight AIDS? Cancer? Or other more serious diseases that claim multiple lives on a daily bases here in Mexico and around the world. What is the reason behind these last couple of weeks events? I guess only time will tell but, until then life here in Mexico is some what getting back to normal and people are going back to work. Kids are going back to school but, im pretty sure somebody came up on this deal. Who?
My departure May 10, 2009
I spent my birthday in Mexico yesterday which was pretty cool, we ate posolle and I went to the zocalo which is always a spiritual experience. I met a couple of cool brothers one that broke down some history to me and another who was a danzante. Although not the best of circumstances to come to Mexico but I made to best of it I leave it behind once again. 23, I’m twenty three years old now and im only getting older, shit where does life go? I bet my cousin tavo can answer that since his life has come and gone just like that. I miss Sumi and the baby I cant wait to see them tomorrow after work its been ruff these last two weeks and I;ve haven’t really given them the time that they deserve so hopefully
I can do that when I get back to Los.

Ive been jobless for a couple of weeks now and im starting to feel the pintch. it doesnt help either when you have people going blah blah blah blah get a job blah. Get a job? now? shit tell that to the millions of people who are also unemployed looking for some labour. Maybe i should stand on the street with those big signs advertising pizza...thats not a bad idea.
