Cinco de Drinko

Well I hope everyone enjoyed this nice little holiday yesterday. I celebrated with my parents in Norfolk by going to fried chicken night at the Legion. Pretty sure there was not a single non white face in the place, let alone not a single Mexican, which is not too typical for Norfolk. We could have easily gone downtown to a number of very authentic places but I just couldn't tear my parents away from their Wednesday Legion night. Although, I can't see how eating at the legion doesn't make them feel exactly how I feel whenever I go out in Overland Park (about 25 years younger than everyone in the joint.) But, you just can't beat the fried chicken basket that comes not only with potato salad, potato wedges but also a nice piece of white Wonder bread and a packet of spread butter. While enjoying our din my dad brought up memories of Cinco De Mayo's past. One of the more memorable ones for myself involved a Mexican assembly we had in junior high in which a feisty 13 year old version of myself chose not to stand for the Mexican anthem. I wasn't doing it just to be naughty, I think I remember I was aggravated with a certain posse of Spanish speaking students and their lack or respect for the American anthem so I chose to stick it back to them. Well one thing leads to another, I get escorted from the assembly to the office, parents are called, blah blah blah. Come on people I'm not racist, my family owns a Mexican restaurant for God's sake, I love beans. But anywho, my dad comes in quite angry with the school for punishing me for standing up (or sitting) for something I believe in. Well it got a little heated, and all I can say is thank God I'm alive today what with the heavy presence of the Mexican mafia in Norfolk. I think I brought in tacos for the school or something and put it all to rest. Oh me, always causing an unnecessary fuss.
I did enjoy everyone's status's yesterday in honor of the holiday. Tequila, and sombreros and coronas, oh my. Made me just a tad sad I wasn't in the funness that is Lincoln. Although, I did find it kinda ironic because I don't recall ever having one Mexican American student in class from all my years at UNL? I'm surprised Linconians don't celebrate a big Asian drinking holiday, that seems a bit more appropriate. But back to status updates, I wish so badly I could devote a blog to one certain girls updates only. I'm too classy to name names, but if you are a frequent FB'r, I can only hope you are this girl's friend bc she is sooooo entertaining. I'm sure you all know her, at least via FB. Her page is always changing with new pouty lip, booby out prof pics. I'm especially a fan of the "I'm standing with my back to the camera but sticking my butt out and looking coyly/sexily off my shoulder toward the camera" look. Statuses almost always involve subjects such as cuddle partners wanted, pillow fight TBA, and new bikini purchased, ext, ext." And I don't mean any of this bad though, either, I don't know how I would spend countless bored minutes if not for her.
But one more thing. I decided I should prob attempt to do something half way meaningful with my summer so I'm taking an online comedy writing class through Second City- it's basically a comedy club that teaches smart asses how to tunnel their writing energy more positively.I have to submit online writing,(this blog) so if you've read this even only once, or twice, or a few times would you pleassse click follow on the right side. I don't care if I don't even know you and you just stumbled on this, or if I do, or if we met once. My only hope is that I can at least get a few more followers after this post so I don't feel like a complete ass for mentioning this. But if not, that's okay too, I've felt like an ass many times before.
