DAZZLE DE MAYO
IMAGINE THE SPARKLY GIANT FONT, OKAY? XDDDD
Anyway, yeah, I'd totally forgotten it was cinco de mayo. Mabye because we had SCHOOL when all the other motherfucking schools in the COUNTRY had the day off. For shame, yo, for shame. Anyway, 'tis the aniversary of that time we beat the French and it's all ~somber~ and shit so I honestly don't get why it's celebrated in the US as in YAY TEQUILA DAY. UM. WHAT? In all honesty, we hardly even celebrate it in here - it's a holiday (when certain colleges aren't being DIPSHITS, that is) and a free day aaaaand that's about it. We certainly don't celebrate with tequila, lol.

apparently, Cinco de Mayo was first celebrated here in California in the 1860s as a protest to French rule in Mexico. and then it morphed over the years as a day to generally celebrate Mexican-American culture and history...
... aka get $2 Coronas and eat tacos. it's pretty much like St Patrick's Day here and how that's an excuse to eat corned beef and cabbage and drink green beer.

I need to read those books for the lulz.
Also, I hate cinco de mayo with every fiber of my being. But then, I don't approve of other cultures being used as an excuse to get shitfaced. If you want to drink, just drink and STFU [/mini rant]
