ITS BEEN TOO LONG A TIME SINCE I HAVE WRITTEN IN HERE
Its really too late and I'm too tired to write very much of what has been going on over this entire year but I will highlight just a few of the mighty miracles that can and do happen if you stay focused (is twenty years too long to stay focused?) I realize I haven't been all that faithful sometimes to Bajito Onda. Sometimes I actually used to think I could turn away and focus on something else - but I was wrong. It has cost me many worldly luxuries such as a place to call home (for the past two years its been motel was home) cheap only $80 a month actual cash and the rest paid in printing. Thank God for my printing talents and skills. Also thank God for teaching me to barter skill for everything. Well at least we are not any longer living in the old metal building warehouse where someone was getting killed out front every few days or so - not to mention the nite I woke to flames 30 feet in the air across the street at the neighbor business place. I saved the whole block because I was living inside there then by calling the fire department.
well anyway... So this year... Wow its been a wild and woolly ride I'll tell you.
Beth has been the only constant support I have had this entire years. Armando has done a great job keeping the work flowing in and out of here as we have just tried to keep the rent paid on our new and very fancy offices up and off of the deadly and wreckless streets of Dallas in Denial Big Time Texas. Oh there's no crime here - the police chief has a rather noble goal for crime in 2007. For murders to go down 10%. With the body count rising here they will be using bulldozers to clear them pretty soon if we don't get some real help here or bullet proof vests one.
But as long as opulence and vulgar wealth rule our world here the bodies just go unnoticed unless that is - they begin piling up in the rich sides of town. Oh well, i'm not a magician so i can only do what i do and love those who are still amongst us while we got them here.
I want to say that a once very violent Aryan Circle gang member who was practically raised in prison since he was 13 has now been out about a year and a half and he's still out here - hasn't assaulted anyone lately and i think there is hope he can finally make it. he came by here and we covered up some of his swastika tattoos with crosses and he is almost acceptable to look at. Jason Sandoval. I'm proud of him and he knows i love him - no matter what.
Last year the Dallas Observer finally Observed what i was doing over here on the south side of Dallas and Rick Kennedy wrote a very good article about me. Coulda been a whole lot worse - if you know how they can blast people. I made it out pretty clean and the article actually helped my struggle a lot. Now a whole more people know who Bajito Onda and street soldier Del Hendrixson is. Since i refuse to lay down to society they better get used to looking at me and all the hundreds of thousands we now have in Bajito Onda.... around half a million strong and growing each day.
Brown and Proud records - look them up on myspace.com or go to our main site and hit the link to their page - its a little wild and i've been catching some flack about some of their records and videos.. what people gotta understand is that while i don't condone other people's actions, i will allow them to represent Bajito Onda in their world so that no matter where we are we are there for those souls lost in the madness of the violence of the world today. and i can't think of a better or safer place to be than on a webpage reaching out to all the homies in gangs, on drugs, or involved in whatever they are into nowadays. What i'm most impressed about BNP is they are producing a music video about Bajito Onda starring (not me certainly) but Mr. Pato (as in quack quack) he is cool, sounds great, dreamy looking and got none o that attitude about him. of course he's served his time in TDCJ as well so he's out here makin it in the music scene and for that i support him and BNP. Our common friend Breed as in Half-Breed introduced us and also the other boy Chucky as in Cheese - who is firing up Bajito Onda Community Car club which will be organized very quick.
SCARFACE CLOTHING COMPANY OUTTA NY has officially licensed BAJITO ONDA CLOTHING COMPANY ( www.shop.bajitoondaclothingcompany.com ) as the first ever SPANISH NAMED clothing company in the USA. My long time boy MARKA27 who used to graff on the walls of east dallas - got a scholarship to Boston Art College then graduated and headed for work in Los Angeles is working on the designs with his partner Werc of LA. Also got Chuco working on some designs and Soutchay. All have been down with BO for many years. However if you know somebody who is super bad with urban art have them hit me up at del@bajitoonda.org right away. I want to see all i can see in art for the line. Thanks to Russell Holt of the World Trade Center Dallas for discovering us one day when I walked into his showroom to ask if maybe he might want to just sell some of our shirts for us - he did us a whole lot better - he put us right in touch with Changes of NY who produces Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and all the Universal Studio shirts like Batman, Spiderman, Barney, Bart, Godfather, Superman, etc) from there it has been a very quick rise to the top - the only thing holding me back is now i want us to come up with art just for the launch of the clothing line - at all the world trade centers - miami, new york, dallas, los angeles and chicago. Seems the whole merchandise industry has been going crazy looking for a Spanish Named clothing line to sell to the raza in tha ranflas...
BIOWORLD has also signed us up to produce our lines of headwear, belts, bags, buckles, etc. all for worldwide mass market distribution. they are the ones who produce and distribute worldwide all the gear for Orange County Choppers, Miami Ink, hart & hunnington, and on and on ...corona, misfits, coke, etc. etc. so that's great news for us - just gotta get the art fitting up on each silouette of the hats. we want to launch beanies, velvet fedora, fidel castro, and baseball flatbill. thanks to bioworld and jennifer, kevin, raj, eric and dave.
In August 2006 I was invited to speak to a conference in Monterrey Mexico. it was called Encuentro Mundial Joven - World youth encounter. Wow was that a production and a half. I found out later they spent $1,500,000 - a million and a half dollars for a three day international conference. We had dinner every nite with the governor of Nuevo Leon, Gov. Natividad Paras. I told him that i can meet with him easier and more frequently than with the mayor (her goddess) of Dallas .. Laura what's her name. i've never been able to meet with her - even when i'm standing in front of her at a photo op. no access here in dallas - what a shame. the conference in Mexico was very productive and once more i met with persons from 32 different nations who all expressed great interest in Bajito Onda Educational Programs. Carlos Castresana of Spain with the United Nations office of Crime an drug prevention was on a panel with me along with my appointed director of Bajito ONda Mexico and Latina Americas, Antonio Melin were very supportive of Bajito Ondas pioneering work in the field of gang prevention and intervention.
While in Mexico i Met movie producer Adolfo Franco of Kenio Films based in Monterrey Mexico and Hollywood Cali. After sharing some conversation I was asked if i would like to sign the rights to my life story. Hmmmm, i thought about it for half a second and said sure, why not? I signed the movie deal in September and they should begin putting it together after the first of 2007. They are somehow related to Lionsgate, Mel Gibson / Apocolypto etc. Seems Hollywood is doing a lot in Mexico now and with most of my life revolving around some sort of latin something or other somehow it seems appropriate. I have to say Orale! Vamos hacerlo!
Well anyway... that is about it for now...
i'm even tireder now - and oh i completely forgot about Bajito Onda Africa - as strange as this may seem I have appointed a new Director For our Africa Educational Centers Programmes - and I am currently working with an office of Congress to bring him here to the world headquarters (yes that's what we call it now) for trainings so we can then go back to Africa and open high tech computer graphics production traiNING CENTERS IN SENEGAL / DAKAR to begin with. His name is MAO NDIAYE and for the past year and a half he has been travelling around the Continent under my direction so we could study the atrocities of African Children, in Liberia it was the child soldiers, in the Gambia it is the abused girls, and in Sierra Leonne it is the orphans of war, and in Senegal it is the beggar children like Mao used to be when he was a young boy. ... read the African Blog and you will read all about his wonderful findings and work. I pray he is here with us in the next couple months before february.
God Bless, and if i forgot it - i'll just have to come back later and write some more. I am also planning to begin writing books.... what should i call them? where should i begin?
Good Nite,
Hugs of Hope,
Del
