Spontaneous Combustion

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/18/2010 - 14:00 | 1 Comment

When it comes to matters of the heart, my life is pretty predictable. From only dating Latino men to the abrupt manner in which my relationships end, everything is always the same. Unfortunately, the same hasn’t led too much. It never does, does it?

Now, I’m taking the steps to break out of my love routine. I emailed Zeus, the 30-something that emailed me on the...

Crazy Stuff Racists Say: Special Jan Brewer Edition

By Mariela Rosario | 05/14/2010 - 16:45 | 18 Comments

What can we say about Arizona Governor Jan Brewer? We must admit, we had no idea who she was until she upped and signed that crazy new immigration law into effect in Arizona. But since that fateful day a few weeks ago, it seems like there is no escaping her, or her insistence on passing insane laws that demonize Latinos in a state where 30...

Let the Past Be the Past

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/14/2010 - 14:00 | 2 Comments

Leaving the past in the past has always been quiet difficult for me. I am a woman who, when vulnerable and in love, attaches herself for life—whether the man is reciprocating or not. Luckily, I am slowly shedding that aspect of my persona, attempting to experience something new and different. And that’s why I decided to reply to Zeus.

Zeus was another possible date...

Dolores dice...¿Es mentiroso ese hombre?

Dear Dolores:

I’m 22 and have been seeing this handsome 25-year-old hombre who really cares about me. He’s great except for one thing: He’s married to a 33-year-old woman with two kids. According to him, they’re having all sorts of problems. She’s horrible, never wants to spend time with him, goes off on vacation to Cancun by herself—the list goes...

On the Ground in Arizona

By Marlene Montanez | 05/13/2010 - 17:00 | 4 Comments

I often forget that I'm brown.

"How can this be?" you're probably asking.

It's pretty simple: I've lived in Scottsdale, Arizona, most of my life and have a mix of Hispanic and non-Hispanic friends. I don't feel different from them—which is how it should be when you have a great group of friends. I don't really listen to Spanish music, and although I love a...

No Chaser

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 05/13/2010 - 11:00 | 1 Comment

I've never been the type of woman to chase a man...at least not in the beginning of a relationship. Sure, I've called a man while drinking at 4am because the relationship has gone awry. And yes, I have even written numerous emails to "express myself" when the man in question runs into his cave, refusing to return my late night phone calls and texts. But I’ve only yelled “...
