Dreamer is the deceased boyfriend of Sadgirl. He is the reason
for her heartache and tears. All his life dreamer used to daydream.
He would start doodling in school on his workbooks and soon be
lost in a dream. He would kick back at the park with the Homies or
just with his head in Sadgirls lap, and just start relaxing and
dreaming. He would dream with or without his eyes closed.
It wasn`that he had some kind of sleeping disorder or something...its just
that his imagination would take him places he enjoyed being. A lot of the
things he dreamed of surfaced in his painting. Dreamer was an awesome
muralist. He could take a beat up old graffiti covered wall in the Barrio and
together with his artist partner, "EL Painter" make it a work of art. His
murals told stories. He painted the story of the Aztecs and their prince
Cuactemoc. He painted the heroes of the Mexican revolution like Villa and
Zapata in scenes of victory. He painted scenes from Chicano History, like
Cesar Chavez leading the Raza during the United Farmworkers strike. He
painted scenes of cruising and lowriding on the Boulevard with all of the
Homies.
But most of all, Dreamer loved to paint his beloved Virgin de Gudalupe
and Jesucristo, the Lord Jesus. Sadly, Dreamer was killed at an early age by
some idiot with a gun in a drive by at a party. The Barrio of Quien sabe
will always have a piece of Dreamer in it, as he adorned so many walls. The
Homies pour a beer on the pavement for Dreamer, who now rests
with his beloved Virgen de Guadalupe and the Lord Jesucristo.
All violent loss of life is a sad thing, but dreamer was especially
a tough one on all the Homies. ..especially Sad Girl.
Big Dopey don`t trip cuz the Homies call him that...he figures it`s "con
carino"..tu sabes..."with Luv". Besides...if someone wants some...they can
come get some! Big Dopey reminds me of my primo Zack de Burque...you
veteranos de Alburquerque probably know him. He drives that show winning 64
Impala. But, if I told him I made him a Homie toy, and called it Big
Dopey...he might come to Cali lookin for me...and that could be dangerous.
Definately one of my favorites, with a special place in my heart...show your
luv for Big Dopey. |
