A note on Changoses.

Minding my own business at the tambor today, I had a close encounter of the Chango kind. I had Chango ripping a chunk of hair from my head. Now on its face, this could merely be an isolated incident, but keep in mind, this is Chulo we're talking about.

This sounds like another tale of lore that was once told by a puerto rican who's currently living in a corner in the apartment. He came home telling tales of a savage Chango who came down and ripped one of his braids out of his head. I laughed at him and told him he shouldn't get in the way of Chango and his food.

He didn't find it as entertaining as I did, but I now know why.

Keep in mind one important thing -- that puerto rican is now... yes folks, it's none other than... the Iyawó.

What does this mean? One could say that it means that this Chango is the same, and he likes to rip people's hair out they head with his teeth. Unfortunately that is not that case people -- this is two different Changoses, in two different locales, one a man and one a woman. Why is it that we have the same result?

Needless to say, I have a strange feeling that this is more significant than me having a bad hair day. Tomorrow we will continue our miniseries, Chulo and the Iyawó. Don't change that dial -- we'll be back soon.

Chango, the invincible warrior chief, the whoring god of storm and lightning...
