What's ironic is that Cinco De Mayo is celebrated more in the US than in Mexico. Cinco de Mayo means jack in Mexico (although it is starting to be celebrated by some, it is not a holiday). The big holiday in Mexico is September 16th, their independance day (El Grito De Independencia).

That being said, the wife and I will be headed to El Vaquero for some margaritas and fajitas.

Considering taking a bottle of Patron and a bottle of some cheap shit like Carlos to my golf league tomorrow night. A shot of Patron for par or better, shot of Carlos for bogey or worse.

Considering I don't drink, it's a non "holiday" for me.

I'm at work at the moment. I call that my prelude to drunkenness.

I have to work until midnight or so. After that, hopefully going to hang out with people from work. Cinco De Mayo is kind of a big deal here in San Diego.

Bought more Landshark and Coronas today. Done with classes, I think it's time to spend the rest of the day out on the front porch.

I made that my Facebook status first thing this morning and its unanimous that everyone now considers me an asshole. I thought it was funny. Oh well.

Totally reminds me of this father-son moment from "Don't be Menace to South Central while Drinking your Juice in the Hood"

Gonna have a few margaritas in honor of the Mexicans. I'm betting Don Patron's will be packed.
