oda a la alcachofa-neruda

La alcachofa
de tierno corazón
se vistió de guerrero,
erecta, construyó
una pequeña cúpula,
se mantuvo
impermeable
bajo
sus escamas,
a su lado
los vegetales locos
se encresparon,
se hicieron
zarcillos, espadañas,
bulbos conmovedores,
en el subsuelo
durmió la zanahoria
de bigotes rojos,
la viña
resecó los sarmientos
por donde sube el vino,
la col
se dedicó
a probarse faldas,
el orégano
a perfumar el mundo,
y la dulce
alcachofa
allí en el huerto,
vestida de guerrero,
bruñida
como una granada,
orgullosa,
y un día
una con otra
en grandes cestos
de mimbre, caminó
por el mercado
a realizar su sueño:
la milicia.
En hileras
nunca fue tan marcial
como en la feria,
los hombres
entre las legumbres
con sus camisas blancas
eran
mariscales
de las alcachofas,
las filas apretadas,
las voces de comando,
y la detonación
de una caja que cae,
pero
entonces
viene
María
con su cesto,
escoge
una alcachofa,
no le teme,
la examina, la observa
contra la luz como si fuera un huevo,
la compra,
la confunde
en su bolsa
con un par de zapatos,
con un repollo y una
botella
de vinagre
hasta
que entrando a la cocina
la sumerge en la olla.
Así termina
en paz
esta carrera
del vegetal armado
que se llama alcachofa,
luego
escama por escama
desvestimos
la delicia
y comemos
la pacífica pasta
de su corazón verde.

chillin' & illin' w/ kim jong il, yo.

i have to go to the dentist tomorrow...to get a filling re-filled. this makes me sad and a bit anxious.

ohmygod...shoes

this SCREAMS class, elegance, sophistication...a lucite stripper shoe with FRENCH FRY HEELS
these are FIERCE...

deh sesame seed

i found these sweet sesame street clips on youtube(what can't you find on that thing?) and they put such a HUGE smile on my face...made me think of a kinder, gentler time, if you will.

its amazin' what you can do with the right size nozzle on a bottle of spray paint. i especially love the odes to britney(first image) and anna-nicole (last image). i can't think of any other way i would prefer to be immortalized.

the right stuff...

the ORIGINAL boyband, Boston's very own New Kids on the Block gave one of those free concert thingys on the TODAY show. man, i feel old. jordan knight was MY FIRST CRUSH EVER.

what caught my attention this week...

1. YAY FOR DEH GAYS IN CALIFORNIA- sosososo pleased that California has legalized gay marriage...at the same time, one has to step back, scratch their head, and ponder, what took so long for these people who happen to love someone of the same sex so long to get the same rights that we all have? love is love, and it deserves the same fair chance to be recognized for what it is. also, ellen degeneres can finally lockdown that hottie of a girlfriend of hers.

2. New Yorkers say "Fuck" alot- really? could have fooled me...read the article in the Times here...http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/nyregion/16nyc.html?_r=1&ref=nyregion&oref=slogin

3. women are the economic backbone of the new Rwanda- GO GIRLS. due to the years of hutu/tutsi genocide, Rwanda has been left with a population that is 60% female. combined with a law passed in 1999 that allows women to inherit property, the sisters in Rwanda are doin' it for themselves.

i can has...

for me...
for mamaz dragon & hustla... for sissy...

these don't ever get old...honestly.

pura vida y'all...

brit-brit's in costa rrrica with her paw and mel gibson...mel gibson? i don't get it either. maybe our paths will cross...one can only hope (crosses fingers)

updatez.....

remember that kid from Florida who stole his memaw's SUV because "he wanted to do hood rat stuff"? well...apparently he has been taken into custody for a psychological evaluation after he beat the crap of out previously mentioned memaw in a wal-mart over some chicken wings. how hood rat is that?

the things people will pay money for...

THIS PAINTING---->

just broke the world record for the most money paid for a work by a living artist at sotheby's. why? good question. it could be because it's done by sigmund freud's grandson...but other than that, i got NOTHING for you. i wonder what the artist's good ol' grandad would have to say about the subject matter.

CONJUGAL VISITS

ohmygodohmygodohmygod...

I BOUGHT MY TICKET TO COSTA RRRICA TODAY!!!
this is too much excitement.

they say that behind every good man is an even greater woman...i can't say i disagree. here is some hot stuff from nuria, who just happens to be the ladyfriend of el tono.

steampunk...

so, there's this thing...well, subculture/lifestyle is more accurate, called steampunk. its a hybrid between victorian era everything and the technology afforded by the 21st century and beyond...its hyper-stylized and super distinct. i dont know how i feel about it...but it should be making quite a splash, considering that the NYT has written a feature article about it and it has its own wikipedia entry.

read the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/08/fashion/08PUNK.html?_r=2&oref=slogin

and the wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk

i don't know if i get it. i mean, i can appreciate it, sure, but get it, like really really get it, im not sure, but their ascetic is pretty bad-ass...check out the watch at the top of the post.

a time travelling machine...how bon would it be to have one of these? where would you go?

street art has never looked so so so...lovable. but its good for a monday.
