about me

Grew up in Hayward during a time that may never be duplicated in it's absurdity, creativity, energy, violence and tragedy. Words are sometimes hard to find to describe this time in my history, but for sure, I wouldn't trade it for all of the money in the world.
My life... It almost killed me but it ultimately saved me.

Mi Vida, Locura y Muerte....

A Hayward KJ Story.

Me and a friend of mine walked down to another buddies house on a warm summer afternoon in Hayward, 1982. We walked in the house unanounced because that was the way we always arrived. We came over to play Frogger on the stolen video game our friend Carlos had. This day we couldn't beacause the TV was already being used.
In the front room one of the home boys, Ghost, was down in the push-up position, just going to town, full on military fashion.

Vida Pesada

I will be the first one to acknowledge that my wife had a hard life when she was young. She only gives me bits and pieces of what it was like for her, usually funny little stories involving her and the huge extended family she is a member of. Her mother had 16 brothers and sisters and they all worked in the fields at one time or another. My wife is the oldest grandchild and some of her Tio’s and Tia’s are very close in age to her. She’s spoken about how hot it was working in the fields and h... read more

Thanksgiving

Spent the weekend with some of the imediate family and had a nice time watching football, eating good food and talking story. Very thankful that me and the folks get along well now and have for quite awhile. We were all spread out across the country for a number of years and now that we all live closer together more effort is made to do things such as this on a more regular basis. I never realized how important they were to me till they were all miles and miles away.

Greenway

Eden Greenway was a 100 yard wide by 3 1/2 block long section of grass, trees, one empty playground and a graffiti covered sidewalk that snaked it's way down the center. It's purpose was to facilitate the power lines that ran through our neighborhood. Those lines hissed and cracked as we stood underneath them getting high. After a while you wouldn't notice the noise that they made and it became the soundtrack to our little corner of paradise.
One of the first things that I remember happenin... read more

Mindless violence 1

It was 1980 and it happened at a party somewhere in Hayward. I was in the kitchen getting high with some friends when a huge commotion developed from over near the garage. Girls screaming, guys shouting and the sound of shit breaking. Me and a friend of mine pushed our way towards the garage and then down the stairs into it. On the floor on his hands and knees was some guy, face a bloody mess, 2 white boys I knew standing over him just kicking his head into the dry wall hard enough to leave ... read more
