Not This Year

This year is kinda weird for me. For a couple of reasons. I'm tryin' to find new ways to celebrate old (for me) holidays.

Today is Cinco de Mayo. The 5th of May. A huge holiday for me (mainly because I love Mexican food and Mexican beer - not to mention Tequila!!!) The only day bigger than that on my drinkin' calendar is Dingus Day - and I didn't even go to the bar this year for that!! Shit - can't let that happen again.

But back to Cinco de Mayo. Seriously - I usually take the day off, sit at a beach beach drinkin' margarita's all day. Mexican food a plenty (my favorite). But that won't be happenin' today. For a couple of reasons.

The first is easy to understand. Hell - I'm unemployed. I can't be doin' that shit.

But the other reason is because of this past Monday. I'm kinda pissed. I'm mad that all these illegal aliens think they have the right to bitch and complain when they won't take any of the responsibility. Now, I'm more than aware it isn't just the Mexican's in the country illegally, but come on - let's be honest here - that's the majority that are raising the roof right now.

I know I'm not saying anything new here. But I'm gonna say it anyway. You want rights? You want us to celebrate your culture? Then flippin' take some responsibility. You sayin' your so good for our economy. Help me understand somethin'. You take jobs away - yes, they are low paying, but if you didn't do them someone else would. And sittin' here unemployed I gotta tell you - it's kinda pissin' me off. You spend money. Oh, yes you do.......but I would too if I got a flippin' paycheck. You want health care? Guess what. So do I. And I've had some damed good jobs that don't have the health care you want. So bite me. I sit here day after day, worryin' about rent and food and utilities. You seem to act like you want us to just provide all that for you. Not on my watch.

So - even though today is one of my favorite days of the year, there will be no celebrating in Tammi's World. No tequila, no nachos, no cha cha. Nope. Not gonna happen.

In my own little way, I'm making a point.
