So I got all the races covered. If a white friend is upset with the hispanics I can say "yeah, damn mexicans" and if a mexican friend is upset with the whites I can say "stupid gringos" and if an indian friend is upset with both the whites and mexicans I can say "me too... pass the bong...I mean 'sacred ancestral smoking aparatus'." No actually I'm not that "in" with the NA.
This post and the one underneath it were not here when I read the others that came after...about Hobby Lobby and so on!
Yuku is sketchy...and it seems that it might be more of a character trait than the occasional bad day! Playing hide and seek-writ with these posts has been happening about once a week...here and there in the various forums about which I loiter and lurk...and so I just now had this new thought that perhaps Yuku is Coyote...and those were really enjoyable posts to read, too...the ones that had been hidden from view!
You know, I thought your name was something like a stylized code for "new language" or something like that. LOL
Nu Lang(uage)...I will have to explain why on another afternoon because it is a story unto itself...but I was *hearing* it instead of seeing it (as it is spelled)....I was thinking it was a cool shaman flavored name! It is almost an anagram of Nagual...except one of the a's should be an "n"...but probably you know this already!
I'm Scotch Irish but I was married almost ten years to a "damn Mexican"...LOL...actually he and his family are really good people and I gained from my subsequent immersion into the Hispanic culture...in which I had been dog-paddling all my life, already...I am definitely the minority here with my blue eyes and freckles! But I can speak Spanish fair to middling and can understand it even better...but I'm even more fluent in the cuisine...and that's what REALLY matters (imo!!)..I think most New Mexicans can understand "Red or green chile?" in either Spanish or English just by osmosis...my mother-in-law didn't speak English to me although she did speak it...but that is how she taught me Spanish! Like a baby learns it!
And truly everybody gets along there famously anyway. If they would just all stop shooting at each other...but I digress. Plus... its the wild west so pretty much expect that.
Yes...we are eccentric and wild yet warm and friendly...and it is still very much the wild west in a very real sense...the energies have not diminished much, especially away from the concentrated dwellings and activities of people...out in the desert, there is no sense of time...because it is the space part that dominates!
I truly don't see how any other state in the union could ever lure me away from New Mexico! I lived in Texas for a couple of months in two or three instances...it sucked so bad in all ways just because it was not NM...even when I lived right in the heart of Denton in DFW...right in the middle of all the colleges around there...and something was always going on...but I didn't have any fun...even though I did try.
Speaking
of comedy..I'll never forget when Howie Mandel came and did a show at
Isleta Casino...what a crazy night that was. He interacted with the
audience a lot and it was hilarious. He is hilarious! Did he do the little kid thingie?
Good thing he didn't shave his head back then...he's more menacing than funny without hair, imo!
