Unfortunate Self

GrifaRant

In the mornings I take my daily mob and enjoy the Yakima Valley rolling hills and beautiful Valley. Im so luck to live here. Well, the fact that I have a son here excited me and it scares me.  I love the 509 Yakima Valley and throughout central washington... okay... just the state and region are beautiful :) but anyways like I was saying....

Im trippin on the bullets in the air,
the way motherfuckas stare,
touch me if you dare,
dope and snitches everywhere...
cellblocks mumbing prayers...
uncover internal layer...
disciplined players-
The 509 so unaware-
of  dusty roads and torn up body
left from outlook tweeker parties-
In Loving Memory of Kika-
Miklo and Angel will always know their tia-
And let me tell you mija, they can't wait to meet you...
but that all when the time blesses us
cant live life to dangerous
but sometimes that not intentional
its what the hynas around her consider presidential
dressing lil babies like homies all peloncitos
and the system, how they treat us
can't understand us and can't delete us
Its not my sons fault he was a chicano fetus
his crime was his skin
to brown to fit in
aimed for by the haters
so I oppose all  clan demonstrators
Networking with firme hynas
treat the issue with the worst behind us :)

all smiles

damn, Im super excited about all the wonderful things happening right now in my life... in two weeks I will be in LA with the homegirl Mona and I will have the opportunity to document chicano rap music and barrio culture! to think this started for me a year ago and here I am today.... feeling proud that through my efforts others are benefiting :) I guess thats what its all about "everyone coming up together" :)

session 1

Im excited to see what the fuck it gonna happen in my life next. 

Two years ago I wrote something on my wall..."FAMOUS FAMILY FROM THE 509" and the other day someone I admire... who lives no where near me not only extended his love and support my way, but he asked me bout the 509 in general... about my sisters work... :) I geeked out on that.  I love that feeling... feeling of excitement :) I know that when you are thankful for what you have, you get blessed with more and more...

In the past, I'd fuck up and give a fuck about stupid ass vatos... I'd loose my identity trying to help them find theirs... Something I fight within myself... I throw myself in things... (with all my heart). I learned  long time ago not to trust motherfuckers, because they hustle... thats what I learned from the streets... but fuck, I wanna trust... I wanna find a bad ass vato... an artist that tokes and paints... gets lost with me... we discuss friday, los 3 grandes de mexico, what it is to be xican@s... he lights sage and knows how to please me in every way... not only feeding me knowledge, but nourishing my soul with his words and tounge... (Oh yes, He is sooooo attracted to me... loves my scent, my eyes, my voice, my words... y ideas...) all I want to do is love us :)

From a G to a Leva

Damn the homegirl broke my heart...

Call her a leva.
Call her a bitch.
Never thought that could happen...

But when vatos are involved, somehow it brings out the worst in ppl...

So now she aint my sunshine...
now she aint my Lil' G :(

She's a slobb like the rest of them...
Fuck it...
In the end she prolly would have left me hanging in a worst way...

It was pretty bad this time around...

Just going on,...

I havent used this the way that I should... the way I had envisioned... I wanted an outlet of some sort... so here I am again... scratching at my bones trying to awaken something deep within.  Ive been on a "body for life challenge" with my lil sis Bashi and so far Ive lost 14 pounds.  Damn, that shit is amazing to me.  The food I eat is bomb and workouts with my carnalita are fun and engaging :)  I know that this consciousness in what I eat had also affected those around me... Beva and Lala are now taking the challenge too and just today I found out that another homegirl of ours up north is doing the challenge as well.  Simon, so its setting off a chain-reaction :)  All good! All good because this summer is gonna be the best ever... this Spring, I get to work with so many amazing people doing so much creatively that it inspires me and dares me to want and reach for more and more...

Im thinking... fuck it, do it up like you thought I would :)

Neta, it makes me feel good to have gente recognize me for the work I do.  I dont think it's bad or egotistical to enjoy that appreciation :) Thank you for the love and support for those of you who show it.  Haha, I was having a session with the homegirl and some of her girls came through the pad... all of a sudden they are talking about taking flickas and that they see my sister Beva all over the internet... finally, homegirl just says "I didn't know if it was you.... how much would you charge me?" lol Damn why does everyone have a worried for on their face when they ask me how much I charge for a session... Typically, I charge $100 a session... and that involves me meeting up with the client, custom editing and enhancements... my pieces are like art to me and I "polish them" :) Sometimes (like now) I have "sales" I hold with Lala... promotional type work to expand our clientele. If homegirls get together I can do "picture parties" and its great for ladies nights out and purse parties even passion parties... we'd set up a scene and everyone gets a photoprint package... let's say someone had a "pin-up theme" all the invited would dress accordingly and we'd do a shoot :) Also, babyshower... and well, you get the picture :) Picture Parties with firme509.com start at $150 and if you're interested hit me up on the side :)

Agh... aver, que mas?  Oh' yeah, I really need to work on changing my ideas of Chicano men.  I believe that I am on the verge of loosing all hope.  I thinking that most of them are babies and all of them are just idiots.  I love them to death anyway, but nevertheless... yeah' I gotta do something about that.....

(thats my Washingtonero right there :) I love you Noah Andre Capone.
