    Default Cinco de Mayo

    I made this announcement last year, but I thought I might do it again for those of you who either forgot or weren't here.

    CINCO DE MAYO IS NOT MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY.

    And it's actually a bigger holiday here in the United States than it is in Mexico. Go figure. As if we needed an excuse to crack open Coronas, anyway.

    Carry on.

    Well, I don't, really. But I felt obligated to mention it because I'm half-Mexican.

    For some reason they celebrate it right here where I live.
    It's a LONG way from Mehico.

    I love America. We have not one, but two holidays where excessive drinking and partying is disguised as cultural unity.

    The problem is, St. Patty's day and Cinco de Mayo are so close together.

    Cinco De Mayo spelt backwards is Oyam Ed Ocnic. This means nothing.

    I've heard Corona tastes like urine. I've never tested this theory, and quite frankly, I don't think I want to. xD

    Happy 5th of May!
