BAJITOBLOG

BajitoBlog is a collection of writings from within my personal life and my work to build a better underground society for all members of the community who do not necessarily fit in with mainstream standards, lifestyles, behavior, etc. I believe we can be our own person, a good and peaceful person without having to conform to mainstream society. In the words of Albert Einstein, my cerebral hero, 'Del you are on the right track' - don't ever let nobody get you down...'

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Dallas, Texas, United States

Some people think i live a fascinating life although i strive to be as humble as i can. but i found that if i ever give it all up - many people would be let down and many people would give up their own personal struggle if they ever see me give up or quit. believe me i have wanted to quit my work a million times and secretly i did. i would say 'no more of this' i'm going to sneak away and start myself a new life like other people have in the real world. then i would get a letter from a kid i never even met or an inmate somewhere i didn't even know and they would tell me how wonderful it was that i was doing so much for others and because of my struggle they had turned their lives around. man i hated those letters i would say to myself MAN! I hate it! i have not gotten five minutes into my new free from the struggle life and yet if i ever did leave it - these two lives may not have ever felt some love in their lives. life is so good when you let go and let God. it took me so many years of fighting to let go and let God rule in my world. Now i just follow Him and my life is so simple i can actually say i enjoy it! :)

NEWSWEEK

This week i was contacted by Newsweek for an article they are doing about the Marasalvatrucha or MS13 Salvadoran Gangs. I would never disrespect the gangs because all gangs are made up of human beings. I am more of a modern day anthropological socio behavioral scientist and researcher working in the field of prevention and intervention as well as rehabilitataion than I am a judge of anyone. However I am looking forward to any mention Newsweek will give Bajito Onda and my work. I think the article comes out this week. They had seen the article that came out in the NY TIMES MAGAZINE back in August so that is why i was contacted. Thanks Newsweek reporter Jennifer Ordonez of Los Angeles.
