Nightcrawling
by Cameron Bina
WELL! Two nights ago, three n half midgets drinking fruity flavored champagne came banging on my window sill, and I was busy making out with my pillow, so they threw an electric deer through the window, glass serenading me sweetly. We left my mattress soggy with blood and hit the streets. A first class tour of our grimy urban wildlife! Wino’s licking dirt puddles and cripples square dancing on Westhiemer. We had a moldy meal, a self serve buffet in one of Richmond’s famed diner dumpsters. Nightcrawling, I gotta remember to put that on my tax forms. Following that, we followed some desperate poker players down a city drain to the last card game of the night. Everyone folded and no one raised. It was pretty shitty, plus I forgot to flush.
Off the Top
by Alex Rutledge
I like to write mostly off the top. They say Cubans do it better, but Mexicans don’t like that. I am (yo soy) Yuma – a hyphen between two identities is the recipe for an identity crisis.
Yuma is Cuban for the United States of the Americas.
In Cuba, I have distant (black) kinfolk. I was raised ‘white’.
One thing I learned as an American is to not speak intimately, nor passionately to other (dumb) americans because you may eventually become microwaved by the CIA.
Andale.
I shouldn’t be speaking in English either. I prefer to think in Spanish. My shit is “bien oxidado” (really rusty), though.
Some Westerners say I should take some calm-me-down pills, but I cant do that because its western.
its weird, ever since I stopped believing in the west, I stopped getting colds, and other annoying sicknesses that others use to excuse themselves from school, or work (naturally).
Fucking racism – Lord Bacon never gets the proper credit he deserves for highlighting the importance of melanin levels.
Back in the day, the Irish and Africans used to communicate (mostly non-verbal) about how lame the boss can be.
The Irish and Africans didn’t care too much about how the sun treated their skin.
The Irish and Africans rebelled.
What? Who’s checking my emails?(!)
HPD doesn’t let their officers wear beards.
I am growing a beard.
At work they call me Taliban (when I have a beard).
When I wear a phat mustache, they call me Pancho Villa.
I respond, always with a fist raised, “VIVE!”
I was born in Houston.
I jam screw, even when in the ivory tower.
Fuck the ivory tower.
The academic industrial complex.
Facebook is also Facecrack.
facebook is either really cool (for artists, etc), or terrible (for sexual interactions, and dynamics)
A genius cyclist told me college is a scam for your parents money.
I dropped out of school with only 6 hours to graduate. No doubt, I am a creative genius, so don’t try me.
One time, I read the Houston Chronicle’s movie review on the film “W”, and couldn’t believe it – I sent the author an email, battled with him over some ideas (won), and told him to give me his job.
I don’t even want his job. I just like to take photos, ride my bike, learn to skateboard, talk with people, and cook food.
Say these words with a twist – vegan (me, no – I am not disciplined enough) and artiste
I don’t like to smoke weed that often, anymore.
I am a catholic school boy. I am Jesuitic.
I haven’t had sex since I last cut my hair.
Does it bother you that I have used “I” so much?
I despise scenesters, but depend on them for inspiration.
Have you ever seen a kid fucked up on cough syrup? Why the fuck do they advertise that unnecessary crap, everywhere? And why would marijuana be illegal, when blunt wraps are sold front and center at most convenient stores?
Barack Obama will be on pins and needles most of the time in office. He will mean well, but must perform the puppet dance in order to avoid being shot.
He is not the answer.
Remember 9-10
The United States system of government must change radically.
I hate guns, but aren’t some communists right?
Anarchists are, like Leo Tolstoy, Barack Obama?, definitely Bill Ayers and his honey.
Socialism is awesome. Did you notice how that word freaked a lot of people out in the “you decide” 2008 elections.
I want to go back to Cuba.
Try me.
I don’t even know what i am writing for anymore. Will I get paid to do this? On the occassion?
I once considered converting to Islam, but then I would have no friends.
Zro, the crooked, is a good role model
peace,
A-face
ps – RIP Selena
