Cinco De Hold The Mayo

Hey guess what? It is still raining...fuck.

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Ugh, wait a second, I'm not Mexican. Does this work the same as St. Patricks Day? Can I be Mexican for the day? That'd be pretty awesome. Well yes, today is the 5th fo May, and yes, it is another drinking holiday in America. I love these drinking holidays, they give people great reasons to go out and get super intoxicated on a Tuesday, without feeling like a drunk, and hey, I'm all for it. I just hate how some people try and pull pride into the day. I mean, listen, I'm party irish, and yes, I like drinking on St. Patricks Day, but when you get way to into your background on these "holidays" you are just another douche bag. If you are from fucking New Jersey, St. Patricks Day does not make you any more Irish one day a year, you are still just another Jersey mook. ANYWAY, today is Cinco De Mayo, which people usually think is some great holiday. In reality May 5th is not Mexico's independence day, that is September 16th (yeah, I read about holidays to dig out what people should actually be celebrating). May 5th was the day that the Mexican army won a huge battle against the French forces, and hey, I think that is cause for celebration anyway! Fucking Frenchy's.

Either way, I'm going out after work for a drink with my good friend Mike. I mean, I'm probably the furthest thing from Mexican, but they have $2 beers all night, and I'm not one to miss a deal. Also the Yanks are playing Boston and tonight, maybe they can pull a win out of their ass. That would only make my night of Tequila drinking better. I also find it pretty funny that I will soon be in a bar, full of people with Mexican garb on, drinking Corona, and shooting Tequila, while it is dark, shitty, and rainy outside. God Bless New York and it's year round amazing weather.

Besides all the Mexican jazz tonight, nothing else is going on. It is going to be a slow week at work, so I will probably do more typing on this thing as usual while I wait out my days for the weekend which I will hopefully get to go out and see some friends I haven't seen in a long time, and also take my mother out, being that Sunday is Mothers day. If you aren't taking your Mom out, or at least getting her something some-what nice, you are a dick. Come on folks, she walked around with you in her gut for 9 month, you ruined her figure, and pissed away tons of her money over the years. The least your selfish ass could do is get some flowers and maybe take her out to eat. Luckily, my mom is as large of a Mexican food fan as I am, so I'm taking her out for lunch and drinks at our favorite Mexican spot, the going to see Wolverine. I want to see it because I am a comic book dork at heart, and she wants to see it because she thinks Hugh Jackman is just dreamy, and watches to see the scene when he jumps out of the tank, all naked and wet (yeah, should be a great movie experience).

Alas, it is only Tuesday. Three more days to go before I can even think about drinking with my buddies, eating tacos, or seeing naked wet men (unless I play my cards right before Sunday afternoon). I'm going to go wander the office for the rest of the day then go out my day of being Mexican. Live La Drink-A!
