I know just enough Spanish to get myself laid, stoned, or beat all to hell - more often as not, the latter. I can also get myself fed relatively well at any decent hole-in-the-wall cantina in East Dallas. However, I reserve the right to butcher it or any other language at my discretion and risk without any lip from the descendants of those who were the other party to the signing of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. They coulda just kept on fightin, and they mighta won - though I doubt it. We got the real estate, and we'll have our way with the culture as well. Though I doubt if we'll prevail on that front - and I don't bitch about that capitulation on our part. One thing I've figgered out since I got up here to the frozen north is that you can get way too white in some places - Minnesota, for instance; and it gets really weird - for me, at least. Minneapolis really loves me, but I think it's just because of the novelty of me comin from another country - like Texas. It's startin to dawn on em that this ain't an act. Man, did I get off on a tangent or what... Anyway, all I mean to say is that if ya like taco lengua and good, inexpensive smoke, then nobody's gotta right to question yer claim to Tejano roots. My folks have been around God's Country since 1840, and while that ain't near as long as some, it's good enough to hold against any questions of my rights as a native, dubious as they may be.
Course the smoke up here is perfectlly righteous; it just costs out the ass, and nobody rolls joints up here because of that. Kinda sucks. I forget now what it was I was writin about. later...
