Happy belated Cinco de Mayo amigos/amigas.
Writing about the day & how it came about, eventually wishing margaritas all around, was my plan 10 days ago ….but on the sidetrack is where I ended up, per usual, thus indulging myself with yesterday's Hippie theme. By the by, it was Arte Johnson not Artie Shaw who was the funny guy in Laugh In. .....no I was NOT sampling or doing product research for my ramblings!! It's quite obvious I don't do any research for these rantings, who am I Pearl Buck ? Not hardly, I may be able to relate a few stories about the goings on on the good earth, but that's as far as that goes (ok, ok, maybe not even that far)!! Jazz was wafting softly from my computer speakers so my brain naturally leapt to the musician, drowning out Arte's proper name. (that's my story & I'm stickin' to it)
Anyway, back to the Mexican holiday, a blue million stories go out on all of these celebratory days and one more from me would certainly not be missed. I guess my fear also was to bring these two (Margarita & MaryJane) together. Talk about leaps ... the content of my blurp* was laced with marijuana and anyone jumping on the “Cartel Wagon” would definitely ruin my fun. I am of the belief that all Mexicans are not smugglers, all Italians are not Mafia and not all Irish are drunks, a little first hand knowledge comes in on that last one. Priests and police come out of that particular group at a whopping rate, pfft need a better reason to imbibe?? Every ethnicity will be disparaged in some way shape or form, so I'll limit myself to these for today. Coming to mind should be adages like: better to give than receive, treat others as you wish to be treated (maybe I should save this for Sunday when Mimosa's and epistles are called for, right?) throw in all that glitters is not gold and you've got a pretty good balance.
We're not robots, human definition demands that we should all play nice together. Whatever the color of the skin, the blood coursing through each and every one of us is red. Some are influenced by color, even green! Whether it be money or envy. Oh look red/green, is it Christmas?? Maybe we should treat each other always as if it were. (don't mean to leave any one ethnic group out now, sooo... replace Xmas with your holiday for special kindness here!)
Bigotry is not just a mistake it may be ingrained or passed down, but the ability to think is what makes us human, using that thought process will bring about change & if not... let them be pummeled with funny stones til they do!!
Holy buckets this is turning into a sermon! Just so you know, I'm not a religious sort. Belief in the fact that we all need a faith of any type, and that that will hold us together, is where I come from. No panicking ... while the future may hold more Sundaylike dissertations, at least you don't actually have to sit in church/temple/mosque and listen...you can simply click off.
