What is the deal?

Having a little Seinfield moment (altho I rarely ever watched the show), so bear (bare?) with me for a few...

Why does it seem that every Mexi in San Antonio (coming from Ms. Mexi herself) is named either Frank, Richard, or Jose?

In fact, let's talk about names. Let's say your name is Francisco. Why change it to Frank? What's wrong with Francisco? Say it with me readers... Francisco.

It sounds so... so... exotic.

Or Concepcion. Why change it to Connie? I think if my name was Concepcion, I would embrace it. In fact, just for laughs I'd not only embrace it, I'd Anglicize it (And no, Anglicize is not like Jazzercize. Anglicize is when you "white something up". Americanize it. Change something so that it loses all of it's ethnic flava'.*) . Meaning - "Hello. My name is Conception." Conception, conception, bo beption, banana fanna fo feption, me my mo meption, Conception.

I love it!

Speaking of conception, today is St. Valentine's Day. Today is the day we celebrate good ol' St. Valentine. The Patron Saint of... the Patron Saint of... Hallmark? No. Certainly not. The Patron Saint of Heart-Shaped Boxes of Chocolate? That sounds more likely. Ah yes, St. Valentine - the Patron Saint of Chocolate. That actually makes him much more likeable. In my humble opinion.

I think the best part of St. Valentine's Day is that it means we will soon be celebrating St. Patrick's Day. The Patron Saint of Random Hookups After an All Night Beer Fest at Your Local Irish Pub. Another one of those random Saints we just love to celebrate.

Speaking of - do non-Christian's celebrate St. Patrick's Day or St. Valentine's Day? Hmmmm.

Check me out folks, thought-provoking AND clever. It's a wonder I'm single. No, really... why am I still single?!?! WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT!?! What does a girl gotta do! DAMNIT!

*To all my Anglo readers, please don't be offended by my previous rant. I love the white man! And have... several times.
