Moved to the US around 5 years old from Guadalajara and had my first meal that came with a free toy. What a novel idea I thought, screw Piñatas I wanted more this kind of stuff back home. I have to admit I was part of the bowling team in high school and I was the best - at sucking. Afterwards I went to college and my line of work now has me talking to people in the languages I know, the ones I'm learning and sometimes utterly mixing them at times. Tried surfing this year and the board hit my head, can't remember much after that but waking up with my face down on the sand. Wipe-outs suck but if at first you don't succeed then you keep on on trucking....wait, that doesn't sound right. The adventurous side of me has taken me to Australia, eat raw fish and just recently went to a Hookah cafe, which I will admit was awesome to try out different cuisines. Coincidentally I found out the origin of our own dish: Tacos al Pastor. I thank the immigrants that came to Mexico from the Middle East around 1910-20's for that. Sometimes you have to wonder why being humble is viewed as being shy, I see it as wisdom earned and aptly used instead of the usual act now, ask for forgiveness later attitude. Respect is always earned and the only way I would lose it is if I participated in a Japanese game show. No luck so far, whew.
