Lazy Mexicans?
I've always heard the stereotype of the lazy Mexican but I grew up in Corona, CA and the Mexican immigrants I knew, my friends' parents, were the hardest working people I'd ever met. Fifty hour plus work-week with side-work on the weekend and if they ran out of work they worked on their own homes.

My friend Miguel's dad was a brick-worker and one year work was slow. Their house transformed. Brick everywhere, arches that went nowhere, brick toys for the kids. The man could not stand to not be working.

Now admittedly their kids were a different story. They grew up to be beer drinking, video game playing layabouts. But it doesn't take a genius to see, they did not learn this from their parents. Fact is, I'm pretty sure they learned this from me.

"Chill out Miguel. Your dad aint gonna kick you out of the will. He's bluffing. You got that beautiful brick house coming, and if he don't slow down it won't be long. Now pass me a brewski and have a seat. Cómo se dice en español, Legend of Zelda?"

Big Brother
Big Brother IS watching. That much Orwell got right. What the author missed was how much we would enjoy it. I have the camera in my house. Most of my friends do too. The government didn't have to put them there. We went to Target and bought them and paid extra for the most pixels per inch.

Orwell didn't foresee the panic that would ensue when we think Big Brother has looked away for a moment or failed to notice us.
LOOK AT ME BIG BROTHER! LOOK AT ME! I have a blog, I'm on twitter, I'm on youtube, I'm on facebook, Look, Look, Look!

Hey, Big Brother, Look, my kid's floating away in a balloon! Woah! Hey check it out, I'm cheating on my wife... with my sister! Here, they'll fight, watch 'em fight Big Brother watch! You need tears? I got tears. My twelve year old is an overweight drug addict prostitute! Sure, she'd love to be on your show. I'll come on with her! Watch us Big Brother! Watch!
