Tortilla Sandwich
What is it? A mixture of the Mexican and American heritage which once fused together creates the culture I grew up with. A culture where I watched every India Maria movie, my hero was El Chapulin Colorado, I had atole for breakfast, yet at the same time I never missed an episode of Saturday Night Live, my favorite meal was mom's meatloaf and I dreamed of being in the Ramones.

Nominated

Emmy nominations were announced today, I am so happy that my favorite show was included.

Nominated in the category of Miniseries:
American Family - Journey of Dreams
PBS

You can have your reality tv, your typical comedies with the dopey husband with the knock-out wife that would never be seen with such a guy unless a great amount of medication was involved, and your must miss tv.

This show is a keeper. I am so glad that there is a show out there with Latino actors portraying real people, not a character that fills the role of some stereotype "Latino" that is on the screen acting the fool just to bring in the laughs. Not all of us are gardeners, maids, and general labor workers. Not that I look down on those who do that work, they work hard for their money too. Maybe I'm bitter, it gets a bit frustrating whenever I go eat at a Mexican restaurant and constantly get waved down by customers asking me for an extra place setting or what the daily special is. Yes, that really happens to me.

Perhaps I should stop wearing that mariachi outfit when I go out.
