fracaso, pero no a los refranes

"Failure but not to the sayings." I have been staying up late, fueled by candy and tea, the studio a mass of color and paper, in the background a soundtrack of Reggaeton and rock en español. My interest has been piqued and peaked with refranes y dichos español - proverbs in Spanish (many from Mexico) which have been passed down for years. Some have literal meaning but most are symbolic or proverbial in wisdom or a thought-provoking idea.

Espanol es mi corazon y mi pasion. I can't crank this stuff out fast enough.

With the recent "improvements" to Facebook, I am now left questioning where all of my art will go. It used to be a fun site to connect with friends, keep up on shows, find out about events, but for me lately it has just become too complicated. I hail from the Deep South, where we like to say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." We all know Facebook has plenty of funds so that's not the broke here. The fixin' however, leaves much to be desired. I know, it's free right? Yep. You get what you pay for. :)
