Writings and meditations by Chema Hernández Gil – organizer, foiled engineer, and media activist based in San Francisco.
Le lundi passé, Jon Stewart, l’animateur de l’émission américaine satirique The Daily Show, a interviewé l’ancien président mexicain Vicente Fox. Pendant cet entretien, Stewart évoqua certains présidents sud-américains, en particulier Evo Morales, le président de la Bolivie, et demanda à Fox s’il croyait que Morales parlait l’anglais. Fox répondit:
Evo, non, il parle son dialecte, parce qu’il es indigèniste.
Le mot clé dans sa réponse était “dialecte”.
I keep having all these ideas about what my next entries will be about, but I always forget them. I wish I had more motivation to write, sometimes I feel like I’m having a particularly lucid day and it seems like I’m really progressing on some thread, and then it just disappears. A real shame.
I went to see a studio this morning near the university. It was nice, and cheap, so I decided to take it. It will be nice to move in in a couple of weeks time. It’s been a while since I’ve had a place to my own not squatted. And it was that thought that made me feel guilty earlier about just squatting LC’s place. I didn’t really plan it, but I felt so comfortable there after a while it just happened. I need to remember to make it up to her one day.
I was reading the few entries I made before and they seem so unlike my life. I am reserving judgement on that being good or bad for the moment, but the suddeness of how my life has changed in the past nine months surprises me. I was aware things would change, they had to. I needed to continue with my education, which I did. I new LC would finish hers, which she also did. And I also knew that the Chemistry School would be no more by the end of the year, and that it most surely did. The only real “surprises” are my parents returning to Mēxihco and this deep funk I find myself in. Life changes, it always does, but it’s the emotions that really impact us in the end. Not really wise as thoughts go, quite obvious really but these past few months have really demonstrated that emotions are not to be fucked with.
