Hasta La Victoria Siempre (the beginning)



Aprendimos a quererte,
Desde la histórica altura,
Donde el sol de tu bravura
Le puso cerco a la muerte.
Aquí se queda la clara,
La entrañable transparencia
De tu querida presencia,

Comandante Tranqui Yanqui.

Chetranqui

Where Che and Tranqui cross.
'How does it feel to be a symbol?'
'A symbol of what?', replied Tranqui.

'Of the revolution of course.'
'We are all symbols of this movement, I am merely a spokesperson with a tall hat.'
'You do realize what this all means, don't you?'
'I was unaware.'
'Well, of the significance of your actions- the symbolism vested in your contribution to what is before us.'
'As I said, I speak for something larger than myself for which I have no control over. I try to manipulate my perception of things by wearing glasses made of cardboard. Perception is manipulated quite drastically in this way.'
'Don't you think this revolution will be stopped by some force greater than yourself? That you, as an individual, are limited in your potential to change our perception?'
'Limitation sees no boundaries; I don't lose sleep.'

Imperativo.

Not just a name, a statement.
Not a brand, a lifestyle.
Yes escuchalo bien.
Tranqui... Yanqui.
Collapsing banks and plummeting markets, houses gone and jobs lost- is this our future? Do we panic by what we see and hear? The news doesn't look good; WWTD: What would Tranqui Do?
Maybe we need more people like Tranqui, keepin' it Trank- sin plata, sin comida, sin cosas. Solomente onda.

Listen up Yanquis, this is our cue.

"Es Mucho Trabajo"

"Work", he said, "It's a lot of work."
It was left at that, and I wondered what Work meant to him.
So when we don't work for money, what do we work for? What controls the way and to what extent we exert energy to get the job done.
Where does desire stop and habit begin?
Impulse ,Pressure or Inspired to do this thing.
Beyond that, who will tell me this is or isn't work? Who do I believe? More importantly, who do I care to believe?
Call it work, because Yes, it is a lot.















let's get this shit rollin.

Ahora, Si.













Aqui estamos. Si conoces mi barrio de Miami, donde las palmeras brillan en colores distantas, y el jugo de papaya y mango es más dulce que un alfajorcito- quizás sepas de donde viene el orgullo de Tranqui Yanqui por los momentos así.
Desde Miami Gringo hasta Porteño style, llegando por un colectivo.

Hoy estoy Orgulloso de ser Tranqui. Mucho amor por El Segundo Palacio de Los Jugos.

Here we are. If you know my hood in Miami, where the Palm Trees glow in a rainbow of colors, and the papaya and mango juice is sweeter than a little alfajor, then maybe you would know where Tranqui Yanqui's Pride comes from with moments like these.
From Miami Gringo to Porteño Style, arriving in a colectivo.
Today, I'm proud to be Tranqui. Much love for 'El Segundo Palacio de Los Jugos'.

tRaNqUi goes Play-Doh.












Mold me into something new.
I seek to be bought and sold, crafted, developed, marketed....
so here it comes.

Tranqui Money will purchase Tranqui goods, I will eat Tranqui food and play with Tranqui toys, pawn Tranqui trinkets, and sleep with Tranqui quilts. A pet Tranqui parrot will perch itself on my shoulder and tell me what to do, and I will listen.

ART is only a smart Business plan away, or Business a smart Art plan from here, so here Tranqui comes...

Pedos de Plata.

Verano, los Estilos










Styles of Summer.

The Molar of Judgement.

La muela del juicio//el diente de sabiduria.

Una muela menos, siempre más sabiduria.
Tranqui esta planeando su fin de año celebracíon, y todos están invitados. La idea es para celebrar la muela, el agujero que queda, y el Tranqui de 2008.
Vamos a festejar por el Tranqui que viene, nuevo, un hombre de la empresa, con tantas ideas y menos dinero cada dia.
Como puede ser tán intelectual? tan inteligente, y pues, tan pobre? Yo. Yo no sé.
Tienen que preguntar a Tranqui mismo.

One molar less, always more wisdom.
Tranqui is planning his end of the year celebrations, and everyone is invited. The idea is to celebrate the Molar, the hole that remains, and the Tranqui of 2008.
We are going to party for the Tranqui who is on his way in, a man of business, with so many ideas, and less money everyday.
How can he be so intelectual, so smart, and yet, so poor?
I. I do not know.
You have to ask Tranqui himself.
