Jose dives tongue first into
everything...yes everything. There is no man, no woman, no other that
could touch the individuality, the madness, the
beauty, or perfection that is Jose. He is the
alter ego to everyone. He is all of our
fantacies, desires, and darkest secerets come
to life and living more feverishly than I could
ever hope to.
know this: Jose is smarter, prettier, better
dressed, and more fun than you. All of you.
There, I've said it.
jose often has a devilish sparkle in
his eyes that i love.
Bleeding roses, w/chocolate and
cheese......and vodka.
Jose is truely lovely. And has a
lovely bed room in San Fransisco in
which we took some of the new
promotional photos.
His films are awesome and I love his
friends... so that in itself is a
testimonial. What a lovely lovely boy.
i got a real ting for drawing hearts on my
arms and hands shoes and ankles too.
thought you should know about that. oh by
the way, i felt that too...dot dot dot
Jose is like a honeysuckle in fall, and
most of his friends are like a a dodge
dakota in reverse. You heard it first
here.
beautiful in every way crashing and
flying and love song and on the
veryvery steep edge and so so lovely
there too..
Jose is like an M-80, dynamic and
explosive, and those standing too close
are likely to lose a hand or suffer some
other bodily injury or maiming that is
likely to haunt them the rest of their lives.
hunted by lions in wolves clothing,
jose has outrun the pack. looking back
over his shoulder at the rest of us
struggling to maintain composure, he
cackles with glee, baring his teeth,
his heart exposed. oh how i ache for
you.
Jose is one of those people who could
rest on their laurels easily and feel
like they have done enough good work
already to give it up and become a
stockbroker or a transamerican
trucker. but he still has ideas and
saints that rest unborn.
just when you thought your night couldn't get
any more festive, you find yourself amidst a
snow flurry in some white dungeon below
arrowbar. why? jose lead you there. jose will
always lead you there. fuck the leader,
follow jose.
My most handsome friend. I regret
turning down his advances on me.
he made my mouth bleed once :)
Jose is amazing.
I actually LOVE Jose.
In fact, I want to BE Jose.
@>--`-------
did you mention that you're my heart my
soul.... my fucking revitrol.
GOOD GOD I have phantom limb syndrome.
Hey soul mate, what would you like for
dinner tonight.
pasta w/ red sauce, I THOUGHT SO!!
i FUKKIN HEART YOU
fresno can eat a bowl of dicks.
JOSE! I'M SOOO IN LOVE WITH YOU!!! oh,
shit, I dropped my fucking wine bottle...
Jose is so beatiful, just his voice can
make a beatiful girl drop her bottle of
wine! (TRUE DAT)
love
ALOYSIUS
IV
there is no greater void than that of the vast
emptiness felt when I look across the sea of
indie rockers, fashionesta's, hipsters, and
fellow san franciscan's and not see the crattle
of their existance in their midsts...where are
you Jose!!!!!!! Please come home!
Jose deals with everyday situation in
original ways. For all his scheming
and fascination with the hidden and
dangerous side of life, Jose is
probably the most punctual and
dependable person. When you are sad,
Jose might buy you a hamburger and
convince you to dance with people you
have never met. the interesting
sections of being young.
Jose, you are a true original in a sea
of poseurs. I love you dearly and
miss you so much it hurts.
Jose's one of those people you want to
show off. He also has no respect for trees
and street signs.
--Everyone who's anyone.
Jose Rodriguez conjures epiphanies.

This soft-spoken Mexican filmmaker's Super-8 films were too extreme for art school. What's on his mind?

Your Name: Lisa Montagne >>>Where did we meet?
b dorm vicinity, merrill, ucscruz. you were either bugging me about
borrowing
a pencil for some placement exam we were both late for or you were
following me
around at orientation, heedlessly abandoning your assigned group. (i
think
that's why you never knew where the library was.) i remember both
happening
shortly before you blew icecream sprinkles into my hair.
>>>Take a stab at my middle name:
virginia. no stab needed, virgie.
>>>How long have you known me?
we may be friends, but i won't do math for you.
>>>Do I smoke?
as a matter of course. and why not? you're really good with a
lighter.
>>>Do I believe in God?
nah. or second thought, maybe. depends on your mood and present
reality. (do
i win or do i just get doorprize?)
>>>What was your first impression of me upon meeting?
my first impression came before meeting you. you were kind of like a
dwarf
star on supernova. after i met you, i realized that you also had your
share of
gravitational pull. you were challenging and full of life.
ultimately, all of
that was the perfect draw.
>>>And my birthday?
5 mos from mine: june 5, 1975
>>>What color hair do I have?:
blue, when you still loved pearl jam and were broadcasting that far and
wide
not so very long ago. i made fun of you then, and as luck would have
it, i can
still do it now. i have the photographic proof. ...is this one of
those
responses that hurts?
>>>And color eyes?
a really beautiful shade of red brown.
>>>Do I have any siblings?
duh. the pumpkin bandit. and maybe a 1/4-sibling little kid by now.
>>>Have you ever had a crush on me?
yes. or else i was just a masochist. your call.
>>>What's one of my favorite things to do?
self-expression, using anything as ideal media. you're pretty good at
it, too,
even when it materializes in the form of nasty umbrella notes stabbed
into my
front lawn.
>>>Do you remember one of the first things I said to
>you?
no. do you?
>>>What's my favorite type of music?
ew. this kind of question begs idol worship or tacky glee club
reinforcement.
>>>What is the best feature about me?
the way you serve up humor, hot and cold. and your real laugh. & your
guts.
yeah, that's 3, but i thought i ought to name all of your good features
since
the list is not overly lengthy.
>>>Am I shy or outgoing?
both is the only true answer.
>>>Would you say I am funny?
I am funny.
(i said that out loud, but you won't hear it unless you're
clairaudient, too.
are you, and i never knew?)
>>>Am I a rebel or do follow all the rules?
neither. you have to be aware of all the rules in order either to
follow them
or to rebel against them. i don't think you were concerned about it
either
way, and that is what i found really bewitching about you; you knew
that
following your heart was the only thing. i don't really know how you
deal with
things these days. god, i hope you didn't want me to say 'rebel,' did
you?
dirty. & really icky.
>>>Any special talents?
lots. plus, you can throw jokes like dandelion spores, and i know you
were
also working on developing the talent to take a joke well. how's it
going with
that, by the way?
>>>Would you consider me a friend?
yes. always. even though it's not in the classic sense.
>>>Have you ever seen me cry?
yes.
>>>If there was one good nickname for me, what would it
>>>be?
catisfaction circumlocution (that came to me in 2 seconds flat.
really.)
>>>What's your favorite memory of me?
no favorite. a few memories come to mind: playing speed with you on
the myrtle
house floor to an unending flow of your distracting remarks. i
remember you
coming through the front door of the lezmotel with gus in a box. i
remember
you joking around in a certain way with a look on your face that makes
me lose
it every time (no better way to phrase it, but your nostrils flare).
finding
your little notes. the gentle way you handled your g'ma when i sat on
the bunk
bed and crushed like 2,005 hidden plastic forks. taking notes for you
while
sitting in on your sociology class because you were such a flake. i
remember
you velcro-ing all my stuff to the walls. i remember seeing evil
walkman
alienrobot of hatred and laughing but at the same time really feeling
where you
were coming from. i remember me driving back from your parents' house
to mine
at three a.m. with the windows all the way down in that funny
hondamatic that
you absolutely 'have to shift'. or bixby fighting on a grand scale,
laying
side by side, and since we were not speaking to each other, i put on
thich nhat
hanh to handle the thick barometric pressure. you broke the silence by
mocking
his zen-flower meditation and made me laugh for hours despite
everything else.
>>>What single trait about me annoys you the most?
that you victimize yourself and don't recognize the cost to you.
>>>If you and I were stranded on a desert island, what
>>>one thing would
>>>you want to take with us?
a lifetime supply of duct tape. it would keep you well occupied or
fully
gagged, depending on what the situation called for. and it would be
good to
chew on as a snack while we were still arguing about which palm tree to
shimmy
for the best coconuts.
