Today, it has been a decade, a dime, ten years, time dissolved, melted, some kind of marker, a point for reflection. It was one of the most traumatic and life-changing moments of my life, both for the worse and the better. My brother. He was a man. And I still call him, think of him as, my older brother, even though now I am seven years older than he ever was. A street warrior who fist-fought and actioned the most daring ridiculous feats, he hit his last angel dust maton today, ten years ago. Now he snores with the angels … Continue reading Death Is The Only Proof You Are An O.G.

  Enjoy and share my latest manuscript of fiction, a novel The Revolt of Los Locos, pages 117-120: I was working all the time, sleeping, dreaming, nightmaring to what needed to get done, then waking up by five a.m. every day, so I could organize and write and connect people together, and it was me against the world, and I was like fuck it, I can do this, we can do this.

Overall this “neo”-racism is triviality. People, gente, who know and understand vida loca know racism has always been the reality: there is no old racism or new racism. Racism has been a perpetual state of being here in this place. Anyone who thinks they can school a vida loca homeboy or homegirl is speaking gibberish and blasphemy. It seems like only the vatos locos y locas know essential truths: There is only one life: vida loca. There is only one goal: death. Now, what has changed, but is not entirely new, is the boldness of white racists; however, let’s not … Continue reading A Response to Racism
