It's Mexican Independence Day! Wooo!! Well, no, it's not. Cinco de Mayo is about the Battle of Puebla. But don't worry, we get other holidays wrong too.
Cinco de Mayo used to mean something before all those damn sorority girls took over and started wearing ponchos. Honestly, we have no clue what it means anymore, but does anyone want to grab margaritas later?
I found out Cinco De Mayo is NOT Mexico's Independence Day. I had to do some hard investigative reporting on wikipedia to find out the real reason we celebrate today. Buzz and me celebrated this past weekend around El Paso. Check it out ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
They’re our neighbor to the south. We share the second largest border between two countries. We enjoy their food and celebrate their culture every year on May 5. But, what do we really know about the officially named United Mexican States?
It’s May and that means that soon we’ll be celebrating our Mexican heritage, much like we all celebrate our Irish heritage in March…even when we have neither. Cinco de Mayo is a great excuse to leave work early, eat tortilla chips and drink more tequila than sanity allows, but is it starting to feel just a little bit like the same old thing?
