De pisa y corre

Parece ser que Dios me dió dos semanas tan buenas a compensación por lo que me espera: tres semanas de "verga tu pipí" -frase de Luis Vargas, no roben-. No, carajo, en verdad. Pero bueno. Ya empezó esta semana: tengo que hacer tesis (terminar el primer capítulo MÍNIMO), mi cortometraje para cine, presentar reportaje de Audiovisuales, Proyecto de Tele II, Proyecto de comunicación administrativa con planificación de mínimo 5 años y, además, mi nueva chamba. Suputamadre. Jajajaja, pero bueeeeno...ya ni recordar.

Me voy mañana a Querétaro, a Sierra Gorda, aprovecharé para tomar fotos y "relajarme" nada más para hacer mi tesis. Voy con mi familia, incluyendo abuelos y tíos. Se ve que va a estar "nice" (jajaja, noten hasta mi forma de hablar) desde el lugar. Pero bueno, ya les estaré contando. Hoy sólo me metí porque tenía que poner el santoral de hoy: santa Silvia, felicidades!! (yo si me acueeerdooo jajajaja).

También aprovecho para ponerles una columna que me encontré en otra página, ahí se las dejo para que la revisen, está super cagada, también adjunto el link. Revisen las fotos. Bye bye....





You Know You're Mexican When....


You have ever been hit by a chancla.

Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if it's a one bedroom apartment.

You can dance ranchera, cumbia or salsa without music.

You use "manteca" (lard) instead of olive oil and can't figure out why your butt is getting bigger.

You call your sneakers "tenees".

You have at least thirty cousins.

You can't imagine anyone not liking spicy food.

You are in a 5-passenger car with 7 people in it and a person shouting "subanse, todavia caben".

Whenever you feel under the weather, you compulsively dab on some "Vics" vapor rub all over your chest and inside your nostrils.

Your mom packs your "lonchera" everyday.

You or someone you know uses "Tres Flores" in their hair.


Tamales, champurrado, posole and menudo are must haves on Thanksgiving.

There is more Budweiser than punch at little Juanito's birthday party.

There is at least one member in your family name Maria, Guadalupe, Juan, Jose, or Jesus.

Everyone still thinks Cesar Chavez is the best boxer even if he lost against Oscar De La Hoya.

You've gone to the Pulgamarket every weekend for years.

You step into a house that has all those little figurines taking up every inch of space on/under the TV.

You have a porcelain cat, dog, Buddha, or elephant in your living room.

You have plastic slipcovers on your sofas.

You swear "Choco Mil" is the same as Slim Fast and try to lose weight by drinking it.

You have a drunk uncle/aunt.

You're still afraid to open that umbrella in your house.

You not only know who Don Francisco from Sabado Gigante is, but you tell people he's your tio.

Your mother, tia or hermana's hair is blackcherry, "Sun in" red or a burgundy that would make Celia Cruz jealous.

You always try to find out what town another fellow Latino's family is from.

You have ever had to "beepiar" a friend on their pager.

You wear your Sunday best to do laundry at the laundrymat and go grocery shopping.

You have told your kid not to walk the floor barefoot or they'll catch a cold.

You go to a wedding or Quiencienera, gossip about how bad the comida is, but be the first to take a plato to go.

You have a bottle of Tapatio in your purse.

Your cousins are delinquents / hootchies.


You have a chola in your barrio named "La Flaca" who's bigger than a house.

You think Cristina trumps Oprah any day.

You have a cousin named "Guero" who's darker than night.

You know a chola named "La Shy Girl" who is loud and obnoxious.

You need to point out how much something you just bought cost.

You go to a white friends house for dinner and don't understand the concept of sitting at a table.

You've tried to bring a mango back to the US from Mexico, and a bonus point if you actually made it all the way home with it.

You have a bottle of Bacardi or Tequila in your house right now.

You drive a "Cheby", an "Ohsmobeel" or a "Bolswahgon"

You're proud to be Mexican - and you pass these jokes on to all your Mexican friends!

Varias cosas hay que decir: uno, por audiovisuales no te preocupes, chava y yo nos vamos a aventar todo el pedo (casi) para que tu no te estreses tanto, el lunes te explico con calma como va a estar la cosa (de hecho está casi terminada JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA).

Por otro lado, y te lo digo porque en 6 meses en Ohio me di cuenta de esto: tu columna me pareció graciosa, pero vieras que para los pinches gringos esos comentarios no son ninguna broma... Most of the fucking white trash assholes think that we still use "burros" as our transportation, that we love "ranchera" music &...blah blah blah, en lo personal a mi no me causó tanta gracia porque algunas de las anotaciones me las llegaron a comentar personalmente y pues, no se siente tan padre, de inútil no te bajan pero bueno, que se pudran!!!! al menos me consta que pude cambiar un poco esa imagen en varias personas que conocí alla pero bueno, es otra historia...pero para reirse un rato esta coqueta!!!!

DE HUEVOS WEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
