Although I am not Mexican, I did grow up around the Mexican culture, it’s very similar to my Guatemalan culture. Growing up in California, I was exposed to this celebration yearly. I really enjoyed it, it had always been a very festive holiday. You would see colorful decorations all around, in school, shops, just about everywhere. There was music, dancing, costumes, parades, and a lot of tequila and beer hehe, the same in Los Angeles just on a much larger scale, specifically on Olvera Street in Los Angeles. Olvera Street get’s really packed on weekends if Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekend, during the week it’s a bit slower as any other major holiday. The food has always been so good. It’s one of my favorites! Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all over the United States, outside of the US apart from Mexico, I don’t know. I’ll leave you with a video, with some celebrating going on from a past Cinco de Mayo.
As for myself, the only celebrating I’ll be doing is at home. As it’s a weekday, and I don’t know anyone in Massachusetts apart from William and his family. So it’ll be us doing a little Cinco de Mayo celebrating here. Not much, but it’ll be fun. Mexican food and corona’s tonight woohoo!!! Anyway this is short and sweet, Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone, be safe and don’t drink/text and drive. I’ll leave you with another Cinco de Mayo video.
Well I have been gone a few days, sorry I meant to blog sooner. So today is my sister Jackie’s birthday. She is living in California, and I am missing her very much today. I sent her a birthday text early in the morning so hopefully mine was the first yay lol. So today, we watched part of the Bruins hockey game, it was great, they went into overtime and then shoot out, that was fantastic, in the end we had a victory yay. The Boston Red Sox play today as well, last I seen we are winning. Unfortunately it’s an away game, so I can’t hear it on the radio, and I don’t have a TV in the room I am in, and I like to keep the door closed. I would turn the TV on in the other room, so I can hear it, but I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I’ll pop over there, turn it on and see what the score is as of 4:41 pm. They are a the top of the 8th, Red Sox are winning 8 – 3 against the Kansas City Royals! Gooo Red Sox!
I have been doing pretty good on eBay I’m proud of that. I try to list something every day, but it does take a lot of time to get together the information you want, and photos and such. When another item didn’t sell, I need to go back in there and relist again. Eventually I feel all my items will sell
I need to have a positive out look on something like that.
This weekend we seen a few films, let me see *thinks* oh yeah we seen Leatherheads, that was a silly film but I really enjoyed it. I’ve seen it before, but always liked it, so thought why not! Last night we seen Bad Lieutenant, omgosh that was just a weird film, seriously weird! They had a lot of great actors in it, Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk (always felt she had a creepy look)
Ahh well it’s probably just me. Oh yeah the Red Sox won 8-6, that was a close game, but I’m glad my Red Sox won yippie! Ahh I think I’ll go now, I’m trying to list a few items. Hope you all had a great Sunday, have a wonderful week.
Grouchy People ...
On occasion I get grouchy, and I let people know that I am a bit on the grouchy side. So that they don’t interact with me lol. So when I ask someone are they annoyed, am I annoying them, and they say no but it’s plainly obvious to me that they are! Then what am I suppose to do? Continue talking to them and allow them to get grouchier to the point they finally snap at me? FFS!! As soon as I know someone is grouchy I GTFO lol. Seriously, I don’t want to be around people that are annoyed, grouchy, having a bad day, because by talking to them I feel that feeling intensifies. So, like myself, I think it’s best to just be left alone for awhile, until their mood changes. My rant for the day hehe. Notice I did not include any names.
Last week watched Edge of Darkness, wow that was a good film, the start was a bit of a shock, wow! lol. If you haven’t seen it you should, Mel Gibson is always awesome in his films, I would talk about the film but I feel it will ruin it for some people, so thats how I am with the films I include in my post. Perhaps I’ll leave a trailer video at the end of the post. I had a distraction as usual when I’m writing up a post. I have returned after approximately an hour or so. Went to watch William play a PS3 game. He’s a good shooter I have to say, I’m jealous lol. I want to be a good shooter like he is. I guess practice makes better hey? Last night we watched Sherlock Holmes, it was good, I enjoyed it, he is portrayed very different from what I remember reading.
Ever since I was in California, I have wanted to see this film called Transsiberian it came out in like 2008, it stars Woody Harrelson, he’s an awesome actor as well (check out the trailer here if you like). I haven’t yet watched it. This weekend showtime has been having a free weekend, so yeah I’m taking advantage of it by watching this film. Actually I’m going to let it record and watch it at a later time, because tonight is The Amazing Race and I really enjoy watching that. Off topic, I was looking at my post and I don’t like how it changed my sexy bookmarks *grumbles* lol. So I may change the theme again lol. Anyway I think I will leave you with the Edge of Darkness trailer. Before I leave I wanted to say Happy belated birthday to my niece Vanessa, and a Happy Birthday to my brother Nelson, with that said, have a fantastical week.
