The UA: love it, live it or leave it

In comparison to much of the student population of the University of Arizona, my scholastic journey has been a little off the beaten path. From seventh through 12th grade I attended the same school: Northland Preparatory Academy in Flagstaff, AZ; a humble school that, for my first year, was housed in a building which used to be a strip club.  (And is now a church.) 
Imagine my surprise, no, my awe, when I walked into my first-ever collegiate class, a history lecture that was bigger than my entire high school. The sheer enormity of the teeming masses of bright-eyed students seeking the same scholasticism was as impressive as it was overwhelming.

A few weeks later, I then came to realize that approximately half of my fellow Wildcats sought inebriation instead of education, and were far more often red-eyed than bright-eyed.

Tucson Strip Clubs: Drowning Tucson by Aaron Michael Morales

Drowning Tucson is a series of vignettes, short stories, that serve to parse the life of its protagonist: the city of Tucson. Place is significant. It helps define an individual; we move to places that in some way highlight our virtues or vices — and this is often taken for granted in novels. New York becomes a default location that doesnt always carry much bearing on the story outside of that it is supposed to let the reader know that anything is possible. Morales takes location to a very specific ends, using it not to define his characters, but to reveal how characters define place. There are layers of meaning forcibly asserted on locations by the ways we interact with them, and Morales makes that painfully clear.
The strip clubs on Tucson’s Miracle Mile are simultaneously the envy of naïve high school boys, home of a frightening sexual awakening for another student on the run from a gang, the source of shame for an …

Tucson Strip Clubs: Hung – Tucson Is the Gateway to Dick or This Is Not Sexy (S02E02) – Episode review

Still, I’ve enjoyed the first two episodes, and I’m more than looking forward to the continuation of the season. The storytelling is subtle and if you don’t expect to be ROFLing at every bit of dialogue, it’ll be much more enjoyable. Trust me. Manage your expectations. Hung is not a comedy.
Selected quotes:
Ray’s neighbour: “You can fuck me, but you can’t take a mattress? Don’t be stupid, Ray.”
Jessica’s mother: “Teenagers hate everybody. Pent-up hormones. Once they have sex, they calm down. You were happy teenager because you were slut.”
Jessica’s mother: “Friends with first husband…goodbye second husband.”
Lenore: “Ok Ray, it’s my fault. I confused you with my talk on stripper theory. So, let me simplify. Your job is to take your penis and stick it in Claire’s vagina when she tells you to. And take it out when she tells you to. You’re not her shrink, you’re not her marriage counsellor, you’re not her priest.”

Tucson Strip Clubs: Border Governors Don’t Want To Party With ‘Nerd’ Jan Brewer

Traditionally, the governors of all the states on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border (did you know that Mexico has “states,” with “governors”?) get together once a year to “celebrate border bonhomie … issue proclamations and pledges to work together, air grievances and concerns behind closed doors.” In other words, they drink unseemly amounts of tequila and go to strip clubs. But this year the host was supposed to be Jan Brewer, and all the Mexican governors (plus Bill Richardson) are afraid she will personally deport them when they show up for the shindig, so they’re thinking about doing it somewhere else, or maybe not doing it at all, and Jan will cry at home by herself and tell herself that when she goes to college, people won’t be petty like this, they’ll recognize her as an interesting and unique person and want to hang out with her.
