"If you are going to be late, enjoy being late."  - Jude Law That's from this wonderful book: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/if-i-could-tell-you-just-one-thing_richard-reed/   "A bunch of soldiers Young and decieved Took their Anger to Downtown LA Against the Pachucos, without knowing why"  Onja Callejera - Ry Cooder from Chavez Ravine a record by Ry Cooder: Lyrics Era la medianoche, when oímos the scream "Se requieren cien taxis en el almería de Chavez Ravine" Un montón de soldados, jóvenes y engañados Llevaron su bronca to Downtown L.A. Contra Los Pachucos, sin saber porqué Brotó un desmadre, por tipo acomodado Sobre un pedazo de tierra injustamente robado El precio en sangre que se sacó de mi gente Hasta tal día mancha La Loma y el Palo Verde Como duele el recuerdo si me pongo a pensar En el mal gusto de vida y tración dineral Una bola de pinches, sin corazón y falso piedad Por llenarse las bolsas se van a quemar Onda callejera, onda sin honor Maldita onda, onda de lo peor Onda de lo peor  

Try new things, be multifaceted, be you, be kind.
