I have the flu and feel like crud. Yesterday, feeling really bad, I was driving to the student health center with Miles and Zach Starkey. These two are the loudest craziest people I know. To top it off Miles found in my car (I am not saying how it got there) a Kris Kross: Totally Krossed Out cassette tape. I felt so sick but those boys make me laugh hard, it was good for the soul.
I have a story for all you. There is this guy I like, mostly I thought for his entertainment value. I was up front with him about using him for comic relief. But, I think I may be getting a tiny little crush! And the weirdest thing made me get a crush. His daughter. Maybe that is what it really is, I have a crush on his daughter. I heard her in the background and my uterus pulsated. Actually, I know the moment my crush happened. It was when I heard him call her “mi’ja”. It is such an endearing term, such a loving term, such a simple term. It is something I culturally am missing. ¿Con quien voy a hablar en español? Or when he told me how he practically had a shrine set up for his daughter when he was working out of state, who understands that? I never realized until very recently that Alexi never saw a family-home-alter when we were in Mexico. Never saw a shrine set up for anyone. (I set one up for him when he was China. Never told him. I lit candles, put pictures of him, drawings of la virgen, Greek evil eye, Greek coins, a komboloi.)
Anyway, maybe it really isn’t a crush I am developing but rather acknowledgement of two things I want, children and other Chicanos.
The blogosphere has helped me connect with other politically aware Chicanos. I’ll be going home to Mexico soon and see my friends that will help too. As for Children I just need to wait a little more until med school, now is not the time.
El Oso will be proud. I think I am going to ask the Jock Desi to work out with me. Since he enjoys lifting weights so much maybe I can get him to lift weights with me on Saturday’s the only day I don’t work out.
