MARKA27 AND WERC

This time of year is a great reunion of Bajito Onda Old Schoolers coming together with some stand up new partners in the lucha (struggle). I don't feel like i'm alone in the struggle any longer. Don't get me wrong I still feel like and I still am struggling. Guess you could call us as my boy Raskal who is stationed for life without parole put it.... We are tha 'Strugglas' as opposed to 'hustlas'. I was a trial consultant at Raskal's capital murder trial out in Amarillo, Texas back in something like 1999. I wrote a story called 'Children Lost to Violence' for Raskal and his Mother, a broken illiterate non English speaking woman who had been handed nothing but bad hands in this life. Raskal is a product of some of those hands. He calls me affectionately "His Chingona" aka "His Guardian Angel" because even though I was paid a lot of money to consult with his attorney Kent Birdsong I pulled him out of death row and Texecution to a life without parole sentence. I guess I am a Chingona because his case was a horrible one and not only did his mother lose him to prison but the girl who was murdered was also lost forever to her parents and family. It was a bloody mess of a murder that culminated with her body being put on railroad tracks outside of town and being run over and decapitated five minutes later by a train. I will never forget those forensic and coroner's pictures - NEVER. Therefore I will never stop working in prevention and education and if i lose them to prison I will send love behind the bars and let them know that I am the Chingona for all of them - because when I was behind bars - there was no one out here to shine the light of hope and therefore I left prison a broke and angry violent person. No more. Tonite we give Thanks to God for having rescued me from the path of recidivism and further destruction. For that I give thanks that Marka27 came back into my life even though he no longer graces the walls of Dallas with his art and tagging. Because i held the first ever graffitifest here in Dallas way back around 1998 or so I met Marka27 as he goes by and I met Soutchay aka Chosen One. Marka now is in Boston living after he received a scholarship and graduated from Boston Art College, then he went on to work in California and created some wild projects. Now he's back in Boston and back here in Dallas for the weekend. We met and he is going to produce some of the art for the Official Bajito Onda Clothing Company Line soon to launch as soon as I am pleased with the art to be submitted to Changes who now holds the license I signed with them.

Yesterday we were sitting around the office here and UPS brought in a huge box. I asked our driver Marcus who it was from. He said Godiva Choclates. I said, 'come on now Marcus' who really is it from? It was our other licensee Bioworld Merchandise Corporation who now holds the license for the headwear. So pretty soon BOCC is gonna be on the racks of all your favorite stores. So start saving up now to represent the first ever Spanish name clothing company in Americas.

Our business here for the past month has been really slow, but we are praying that sales of the clothing line and sales directly to stores around the country will help us fund more projects to help more people around the world.

We are now establishing ties with other African countries in order to spread Bajito Onda Africa Foundation around to children who have known nothing in their lives except beatings and begging for their very existance. There are hundreds of thousands of children in this condition and I pray soon we will bring Senegal Director Mao Ndiaye here to train so we can take equipment back there and open training centers for women and children.

Well take care and know you are loved. We appreciate you coming here and reading about our lives and our struggle.

Keep on with yours and know if you ever need a friend - we are here.

Happy New Year! 2007

DECEMBER 27 - 1982 THE DAY I WENT TO PRISON

I find it interesting that after not writing in this blog for a long time except of course for the journal i just wrote below this post. I did not realize it was this date. I somehow knew when i entered prison that one day (did not figure it would be this long however) that things would somehow be all right. I feel this is finally the year that things will be all right. i hate to say it but i do have to agree with the folks who know me, i feel that i deserve a break after all this time of dedicated determination. i may not be the brightest bulb on the shelf but determined i am. i do not believe that all persons who go to prison are bad. i wasn't a bad person, i was a depressed person who got a bit too loose with my self-discipline that my Army Colonel Father Logan Brooks Hendrixson had beaten into me. What was i thinking anyway? When he died i think, well i know... a huge part of me died with him. i cried for two solid years for my dad. nothing would ever bring him back and i knew how final death finally was.

i did not realize just how good i had it being free with my depression until i got arrested with my depression and added to the paranoia, the guilt, the disbelief that it could and most definitely would happen to me .... prison.

entering prison this day in 1982 was the absolute killer. imagine two days after Christmas. well... that's enough. it just brings back memories every year that will never go away. not for me nor for anyone who ever goes through it.

God Bless you and I pray this will be a good year for you - after all you deserve it too!

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

LIVING FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS...

Many things have transpired since I last wrote. I am going to write a book this year - i feel i have to. I have aquired so much knowledge and interesting material i feel i must share it with others.

Blessings have finally landed at our doorstep and actually come inside. We now have a real board of directors - not a bored of directors - as i have seen for so many years in so many other organizations. People who say they will do everything and they do nothing. i will not support that type of behavior when our work and our movement is affecting so many lives. we cannot lose even one of them from being lazy or uncompassionate. we must care and we must do something.
I recently was awarded in September 'The Ambassador for Peace Award' - it is a very prestigious honor and it has brought me into a circle of caring loving friends that i never dreamed existed. Now that i know they live and breath and are kind and loving and they truly 'Live for the sake of others' they are helping Bajito Onda even more - and BO is helping them. Mark Hernandez, Esther Vasquez, John Halsey, Lola Somemoto and Pastor Shin I want to say thank you - They have a monthly breakfast and yesterday a woman from the UN came and presented her work with the movement that Rev. Sun Myung Moon founded many years ago. I was like so many others - I judged Rev. Moon for being a kook or a weird guy with weird beliefs. I can say that no more. The lives he has affected in this world must number into the millions. And those lives were touched and saved by unconditional love of a father on behalf of God the father. He was simply doing what he was called to do as a soldier of peace and of God. I too am often considered to be slightly 'off center' in my radical work of taking the word of peace into the worlds of violence and for giving hopeless peoples hope in a darkened maddening world. I am more comfortable now in that world since i have found the light and the light has warmed my center of love and wisdom. i am greatful to God and others who have come into my once horrible and lonely existance and touched and even accepted me and loved me when my own family have turned their backs on me - they live right here in Dallas yet I am no where in their hearts. Sadly - for them and equally for me. However i must do as God leads me and continue touching other hearts that will not be sour or angry as my family is - but who will in turn continue touching others. The Dallas Observer did a great story on me and Bajito Onda as a movement. We were all surprised we were not slammed. For the past i have lived - it was a miracle to be unscathed in their pages. We have received a donation in December and others are now looking to us for funding our wonderful programs. We have received the badly needed huge digital printer plotter cutter and it is also helping us to maintain our balance of existance. We have a clean bed to sleep on (3) now at the Quality Inn and there are no snakes or rats falling from the ceiling as there were in the old warehouse. Our new facility is beautiful and spacious and it even has windows!!!! how wonderful - light and clean after all those years in that warehouse. God has and is blessing us. I went into the Roach Unit Prison at christmas time and shared love and fellowship with our faithful men up there as well as with Chaplain Nino. What a great guy! Well that is all for now - just wanted to make a few notes for you. Give me a call if you read this - or please post your valuable comments. if it moves you to send a donation please do so. The more we receive the more we can do with it. Del Hendrixson Bajito Onda POB 270246 Dallas, TX 75227 USA - 214-275-6632

MARA SALVATRUCHA - MS 13 - SALVADORAN GANGS

WITH ALL THE PRESS ABOUT THEM - I JUST WANT TO GET THEIR REAL STORY TO THE MEDIA -

WHY SHOULD WE CALL THEM TERRORISTS IF THEY COME FROM A COUNTRY RAVAGED BY A WAR THAT THE US STARTED IN THEIR COUNTRY - AND AFTER THEY SURVIVE THE ATROCITIES THERE BE PERSECUTED BY THE US WHEN THEY COME HERE TO BEGIN THEIR LIFE IN SO CALLED FREEDOM AND HAVE THEIR CHILDREN BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE GANG VIOLENCE IN LA - LEARN FROM THE GANGS IN LA HOW TO BE PROFICIENT GANG MEMBERS AND THEN OUT OF DEFENSE FOR THEIR COUNTRY FORM A GANG AGAINST THE LA GANGS - THE MARA (MEANING GANG) SALVA (FOR SALVADOR) AND TRUCHA (WATCH OUT - TAKE COVER) - THEY KNOW THEY ARE THE MOST VIOLENT GUERRILA WARRIORS OF ALL SPANISH SPEAKING NATIONS. THEY HAD TO BE TO SURVIVE! WHY DO THEY THEN ASSASINATE THEIR VICTIMS WITH MACHETES? AND LEAVE THEIR HEADS ON PARK BENCHES? WELL FOR THEM ITS NORMAL - THEY USE MACHETES TO CLEAR THE DENSE JUNGLES IN EL SALVADOR - SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY USE THEM HERE TO KILL PEOPLE? NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD ASSAULT RIFLES LIKE THE THUGS IN AMERICA CAN. BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THE MACHETE MADNESS HAS REALLY PUT A FOCUS ON THE GANG PROBLEM AND THE DESPERATE AND DEADLY NEED TO HAVE POLICE FORCES GET OFF THEIR PEDASTELS AND GET OUT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND DO SOMETHING THEY'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT - COMMUNITY NETWORKING - LIASIONS - HELPING - AND PROTECTING AND SERVING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING ANYWAY!

IF I WANT PROTECTION HERE IN DALLAS - I CALL THE GANGS TO HELP ME - NOT THE COPS - BECAUSE THE GANG UNIT HERE WON'T EVEN RETURN MY CALLS - AND NPR RECENTLY HERE TO DO A STORY ON ME AND BAJITO ONDA - SAID THEY TOLD THEM THEY ARE OFF ON THE WEEKEND - WELL I FEEL SAFER IN DALLAS KNOWING THERE IS NOBODY OF A MEASELY TEN MEMBER GANG UNIT ON DUTY TO PROTECT AND SERVE THE CITIZENS HERE - NO WONDER OUR CITY HALL IS GETTING RAIDED BY THE FBI - AND OUR CITY COUNCILI MEMBERS ARE DOING THE I NEED TO LOOK INNOCENT SHUFFLE - TILL FOUND GUILTY -

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF DALLAS IN DENIAL OF HELPING US STAY ALIVE.

IN THE FIGHT TO SAVE LIVES THE OLD FASHIONED WAY - ONE AT A TIME!

COMPLICATED TECHNIQUES OF WORKING WITH PRISONERS

a note about last nite. i was very pleased although you may not have picked up on my 'style of working with those guys' - but it did work perfectly - very very hard fast beginning results. i'm very pleased that my 'techniques are perfecting themselves'.

the reason i wanted to 'continue my session' i started with them was to see if i could multitask with all of them - and bring them through a partial beginning 'cleansing stage'. i was amazed at how easily they took the bait and began to open up. all of them did great. if you notice i skipped around with all kinds of questions to all of them not dwelling on anything - just looking for 'mind clues' as to how i can grab onto a 'thread of commonality' - once i grab a thread i begin to 'unravel it - and getting them to talk more and more' - once they begin to talk as did robert next to you -

we got into an area he would not talk about - at least in front of others - that is a button with him - it means i need to dig into it in private with him - it is a pain button - what shifts his life back into darkness. like a button on an elevator down to the basement.

he doesn't want to go there - but i can take him there - and then that is what i call

going into their soul and looking around where their damage and pain is - and what was the key to their demise - and how to turn that key around to unlock their freedom.

he has made some inner soul discoveries himself - his lung - the ambulance - not wanting to die claustrophobically in prison - just being outside the gates is not in prison - custody is not in prison.

white boy michael was a beginning stages of robert just give him a few more years. he had the potential to ruin his life in prison.

i see inside them through their eyes - they were talking to me - the first guy who left - he was really talking to me but had to go. horrible abuse and pain in his life - drugs, you name it - most of them had killed someone - hurt many people - wrecked many lives.

but it is not a casual thing to dig that deep into them this fast - it may take weeks or months to get into their deepest core - but to soften them up was the first step.

if they walk through my doors now - once will be another step for them - emotionaly and mentally -

now they are all doubting it was really true that someone had come into their world with them and 'connected with them' - as i did.

another 'OBSERVATION' if you will was another form of technique i performed was the instant introduction of 'foreign matter' (eva) into our beginning meeting - i purposely make the setting unlike prison or structure so their defenses are temporarily down. their balance and order is knocked off center - they were not being controlled or in control - so their 'doors were cracked open' to getting to know them.

but to have you - a reporter come in and sit in on a beginning session was really a feat - i have to think about this stuff all nite to evaluate it to analyze it to carry it further.

no as i told you - i am not about programs - i'm about rescuing lost and violent persons from themselves, prison and from society and cleansing them and sending them out to live normal healthy productive happy lives with love and hope in their hearts instead of anger and violence. the reason i know - i used to be one of them.

bajito onda is a portal into their / my past world. it allows 'foreigners' to their world to enter in a non threatening, non judgemental, non confrontational manner and sort of reach out our hand and say - welcome to the other side of your life you never realized existed until now. and not to abandon or abuse them afterwards. to actually have them trust and be trusted.

although last nite was very typical of my 'style' rambling, talking, probing, retreating, finding humor, giving hope, feeding them good food - i'm sure they wondered if i was going to pray with them - not yet - still need to keep them off center - it is the beginning of a path of transitional journey for them as well as me beside me.

if you notice the hispanic guy roland - put the shirt on when he got out of the car. he immediatly associated with it - when they put that shirt on - it is as if someone 'has their back' and it comforts them.

i bet they all are wearing them today. it is like a 'rag of love' woven with the past and the future with a message from and next to their hearts from my heart. designed with love from prisoners made with love from bajito onda (all types of past lives) and given in friendship.

gotta go.

one of my guys (ramon salcido) said i write like a journalist -

actually i am a life writer from within the world in which we live and exist.

MS13 - WHY DOES THE USA BLAME THEM FOR SOMETHING WE DID?

THIS WEEKEND I MADE A UNION WITH THE CONSUL GENERAL OF EL SALVADOR'S OFFICE. HOPEFULLY WE FORMALIZE IT SO THAT SOMEONE 'ME' WHO IS WHITE 'ME' CAN SPEAK UP AND OUT FOR THE PEOPLE OF EL SALVADOR. IT IS AS IF THEY ARE ALL BEING JUDGED FOR A HORRIFIC PROBLEM THAT BEGAN IN THE U.S. IT IS AS IF ALL AMERICANS ARE JUDGE BY THE BEHAVIOR OF HOWARD STERN.

I WANT TO THANK THE YOUNG BROTHER MS13 WHO WROTE TO ME AND TOLD ME THANK YOU FOR WRITING ABOUT E.S. IN A POSITIVE MANNER. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO STAND UP FOR YOU MIJO....BAJITO ONDA WILL NEVER JUDGE YOU OR ANYONE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN JUDGED ENDLESSLY BY AN UNCARING SOCIETY WITH A BLANKET OVER THEIR HEADS AND THEIR UNDERWEAR AROUND THEIR ANKLES.

NO BLANKET HERE AND MY UNDERWEAR ARE STILL IN TACT AND STILL WHERE THEY BELONG.

PEACE TO THE KIDS, THE GANGS, AND THE PRISONERS - HOPE AND LOVE TO ALL OF YOU FROM THE MERA MERA DE BAJITO ONDA. WE ALL IN IT TAGETHA HOMIES! :0
