Why make up stuff to write when I can write about my familia? Heard about some family drama and the stuff is so good that it's unreal.
Tension, conflict, lies, and heartache -- yep, that involves a recent story about the familia. Sometimes I think people create a novela just cause they can.
For all these family stories, I appreciate my non-novela life. It's very relaxing, aahhhh.

Random Thought #2 - My Inner Texas Redneck
I am a Latina who likes country music. Yes, I have an inner Texas redneck in me which comes out every once in a while. Yes, I do say "ya'll" and "fixin to" -- that is normal lingo along with my Spanglish/Spanish lingo.
For the longest time, my inner Texas redneck would lie hidden and would pop out when I listen to my country faves -- George Strait, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, etc. I even have started to love some of that old country stuff -- Don Williams, Patsy Cline.
I often wondered where does this inner Texas redneck come from because I certainly did not grow up listening to country. It finally dawned on me tonight.
Have come to conclusion that it comes from my Dad's Mexican rancho/sierra background. I grew up listening to rancheras, corridos, and Durango-type music with the thump, thump sound in the background. This music would drive me insane as a kid. Obviously, I did not appreciate it as much as my dad.
Have discovered that country music is similar to the Spanish stuff I grew up listening to -- so I am my father's daughter, a redneck after all. He's a redneck from la sierra de Durango and I'm one from Texas.
Viva Durango! Viva Tejas!

Random Thought #1 - Wow!
I am in love with Quetzal Guerrero, a mohawk playing violinist, who played the music intro for Payaso Comedy Slam. Check it out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMRYYM80Fyw or http://www.qviolin.com/
Mo' Mozart, por favor.
