| My name is Opalina. I was born in the great big valley of texas, where there is nothing to do but dream about getting away from there. When i was 1 i was moved to a small suburb of Dallas, Tx called Lancaster. It was pretty much the same way. Then when i was 18 I went to Commerce, TX to drink and taste boys and girls.. (not necessarily in that order) But all in all it was really a place i drempt to get away from. So i left and moved to the desert and had to run away from there for lots of fucked up reasons. Now I'm In Dallas. Now I am Home. I have been writing most all of my life, but i'm lazy so that doesn't account for much volume. I have been performing at open mic poetry in Dallas since 1995. I have hosted and featured at many places, all great and sincere places that are mostly defunct now. ( the green room, the dogstar, rockin' java, the donut lady) i have seen lots of friends come and go to various addictions and ennui, and I have made some life long friends. My interests are jukeboxes, (listening to, not collecting!) beat writers, red wine, nick drake, morrissey, billy corgan, b&w pictures, going out all night, laughing, talking , Frida kahlo, Sandra Cisneros, punk rock grrls, big fro smiley guys, my daughter, finding old love letters that belong to someone elese, the clouds, JACK KEROAUC, and high drama (not in that particular order) |
