My years in review.
2009: Became a man. 2010: Still blurry. 2011: Traveled: D.C., NYC, Yale, Santiago, Lima, São Paulo, Salvador da Bahia, Rio de Janeiro. Public transportation. Dream jobs. Extracted all the poison and surrounded myself with people I love.

wecanbenew-deactivated20120105 asked: i guess my point, with regard to the suppression of salvadoran identity, was that it seemed (to me, of course) that was what you were getting at, in terms of what the mother's motives were for wanting her son to use "usted" and not "tú." but, i should clarify that i understand this suppression (as a common experience) as a mechanism for survival in a hostile world....

Kathleen Hanna's thoughts on Lady Gaga, Katy...
CNN: What do you make of singers like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Ke$ha who are seemingly touching on themes of gay empowerment in their music, but for some reason it doesn't quite resonate?
Hanna: I mean, is it really that different when it's a skinny white woman in a bathing suit singing these things? None of these women ever wear pants, first of all. Second of all, just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art. I mean, that's just my feeling about it. A lot of the music just sounds like bad Euro disco, though that first Ke$ha song "TiK ToK" was good. But (Katy Perry's) "I Kissed a Girl" was just straight-up offensive. The whole thing is like, I kissed a girl so my boyfriend could masturbate about it later. It's disgusting. It's exactly every male fantasy of fake lesbian porn. It's pathetic. And she's not a good singer. I don't want to trash other women. I mean, I think Jason Mraz is horrible. It's not just like I hate other women performers. Jason Mraz, and the new James Blunt song is the worst thing that has ever been created on the face of the Earth.

My Last Three Christmases
2010: Drinking beer and watching it’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with my cousins. 2009: Watched Avatar and afterwards date told me “I love you.” I was like “hold up, no, too soon.” 2008: Beer pong with my cousins. I won (duh). …. 2011: Texting my father as my niece opens up her presents, which I get to play with.

My Last Three Valentine's Daze
2011: Santa Barbara, CA. My roommate bought tons of candy, cupcakes, heart shaped things and a teddy bear. We burned all of it while playing Hole’s “Live Through This” album. It was for her art project, it was for my angst. 2010: Ventura, CA. I put out. 2009: San Salvador, SV. I had just arrived and was trying to figure out why tons of people were making out and rolling around...

danieldoubts:
Gay men can be pathetic. The fact that some gay men are attracted to the straight men, who will never give a damn about them or the “straight” men who end up hurting them in the end can be ridiculous. There is no such thing as “straight-acting”, if you like it up the ass, of course with men, or…
THANK YOU! I understand ever has preferences, but that line gets...
