Watchice skating makes me happy.
Capitalism kills. Excuse my poor grammar.
In the midst of the nauseating stench of perfume and the “free market”, a distant beat of a hip, modern techno remix of a classic Christmas song, my eyes watered. As I dodged people who were looking for meaning in mass consumption, I passed by a cutco knife kiosk and time slowed down as I passed by and carefully studied the knives on display and in a strobe light flash thought about...

BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE!!!
I will now begin a weekly segment on my tumblr titled “BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE!!!” Normally, I try to remember a good brew, vino and sometimes cocktail (but very rarely) so I take notes on my iPhone so I don’t break my head the following morning trying to remember the name.
This week I will talk about Russian River’s Blind Pig IPA from Santa Rosa, CA. It’s a 6.10% ABV...

I’m outspoken. Always have been. According to my mama I began speaking at the age of one. In kinder, I earned the nickname of “perica” (parrot). I have been one outspoken girl, teen, womyn since as far as I can remember.
After a thorough self analysis I realized that that partially stems from having difficulty with authority and shallow people/interactions. When backed into a...
Quarter of a century sounds more fucked up than 25...
It’s 25 minutes past midnight. 25 minutes past holy fuck I just turned 25.
I pause and take a sip of leftover Dead Guy Ale. I may be out of tortillas but at least I am not out of coffee or beer. Phew! I didn’t want to have to walk a few blocks to Hamilton’s to drink a pint by my lonesome. Not that I mind, there’s nothing wrong with some alone time.
I planned on going in...

I have learned that many boys and men are two-faced mothafuckaz. Before you strike my statement down with the common fallacy of generalization or call me a man-hater, I have found this to be very true.
When I experience general disrespect from a fella whether it is somebody I know or some rando out on the street who needs lessons in back the fuck up mothafucka I don’t know you manners, I...

This time I actually meant it and it felt good
Manny: how are you feeling, baby?
Me: I'm good.
This time I actually meant it.
Sexy sex, men, heteronormativity, consumerism
Fuck that noise.
The other day I was a the checkout line at my local grocery store and I died a little when I saw a Cosmopolitan magazine cover.
“sex. sexy. flat. bitchy. words to reference ‘penis’ other than the scientific anatomical name: ‘penis’. secrets. flawless.”
It has been pointed out to me that I never really learned how to flirt. As I reflect on...

I hate it when people don't laugh at my jokes
Claudia (upon seeing phlebotomist insert a 4th tube for blood being drawn): "I'm gonna have to start charging you for that, hehe."
Phlebotomist: (blinks unamused)
Claudia: (GULP)
Phlebotomist: all done, you're free to go.
“I love me a strong woman that’s not afraid to speak her mind”
– Manuel Baeza
“Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of your time....”
– Dream for an Insomniac
I still remember the rainy day I was driving home from work sometime last year. I was listening to a Patti Smith interview on NPR and she spoke on the topic of losing loved ones and I cried as hard as the rain outside.
If nobody has told you “I love you” today, I love you.
That one pervert
“How my I help you, sir?” Sir looks at me inappropriately, “Oh, let me count the ways.” I’m at work and I can’t offer a proper Claudia-esque rebuttal. I stare back. “You never read Shakespeare in high school?” he asked condescendingly. “Yes,” I responded, “I know Shakespeare, I’m not a fan of his hyperpatriarchal...

who you callin' a bitch?
I’m still processing what happened last night when some random got in my face and unprovoked, began disrespecting me. I lost it when he called me a bitch.
I wasn’t going to throw down with that guy, but I was also not gonna let his disrespect go unchecked.
As a woman of color I am through with not feeling safe, feeling like I am inferior and must endure physical and verbal abuse....
