		<title>El Azul Celeste Cuesta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Querido Hijo: I’m going to tell you like my parents told me, ponte a estudiar para que no te toque trabajar como burro como nosotros! Even when the dreams seem long and far away, unattainable, silly, too damn high to ever come within reach, keep pushing, keep pulling, keep moving.  In baby steps, peleando, arrastrándote [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mi Vida Blog-Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m told any self-respecting blogger who wants to be taken seriously in this brave new world of self-promotion, motivation, production, editing, and a whole bunch of other self&#8217;s, has to dive into the world of giveaways at one point or another during our blog life.  Kind of uncharted territory for yours truly, but thankfully, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Papel Picado, Envases, Hierbabuena Y Más</title>
		<description><![CDATA[De viejo I want the whole nine yards – ¡completito! Papel picado in the front yard, in shades, all deep, of red, blue, green, purple, yellow, and orange, fine tissue, maybe even plastic, lining a patio or porch meant for nothing more than rest and relaxation, y hasta quizas the occasional carnitas. Out back on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spanglish: Ya No Sólo For The Chicanos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night Latinos in Social Media, the largest organization of social media professionals of Hispanic origin – it’s a mouthful I know, but the hashtag on Twitter is much shorter, #latism – hosted one of the most interesting conversations about Spanglish and the Spanish language that I’d ever taken part in.  Latinos from across the [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Hay Atajo Sin Trabajo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There Is No Short Cut Without Sacrifice Early Saturday morning we were running.  Jumping out of bed, racing into the bathroom, scrubbing teeth with toothbrush, running combs through strands of wild hair, splashing water on our face, tying up our shoelaces, swallowing whole tacos full of huevo con chorizo. Mijo, comete esto antes de que [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hoy Por Ti, Mañana Por Mi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today For You, Tomorrow For Me It’s unspoken contract.  An honorary promise.  The strongest measure of your personal reputation.  That today, what is asked of you, or what you are asking for, will be reciprocated, in the form of an apadrinamiento.  Rarely of a simple baptism, Confirmation or first communion.  Instead, a dollar for dollar [...]]]></description>

		<title>10 Reasons To Love Miss Universo: Jimena Navarrete</title>
		<description><![CDATA[10. Because she is a Tapatia from Guadalajara, Jalisco, home to some of the best mariachi music in the world! 9. Because the very word Tapatia evokes images of courageous, passionate, feminine beauty…uninhibited, unapologetic, unsurpassed! 8. Because Jimena, sometimes spelled Ximena, accomplished by herself, what a whole team of Mexican World Cup soccer players could [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Basura De Unos Es El Tesoro De Otros</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One Person’s Trash Is Another’s Treasure Inspired by a gringa named Sra. Lopez who runs one of the most compelling Hispanic-interest blogs on the World Wide Web (www.Latinaish.com), centered on her life as a Caucasian-Latina, I had to write about our obsession as Latinos with being frugal and always finding deals wherever we go, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Sólo De Pan Vive El Hombre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not Only From Bread Does Man Live Marching!  Huaraches instead of tennis shoes.  All white pants and a long-sleeved button down collar shirt of the same color.  A simple red bandana, wrapped around the neck, slightly twisted into a single knot.  No belt.  No socks.  Just a cream colored hat, not exactly vaquero style – [...]]]></description>

		<title>Juan of Words does Salsa Verde</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After taking your votes on Twitter, everyone wanted salsa verde instead of salsa roja, which I guess makes sense because everyone prefers green salsa to red salsa on their tacos, well most people anyway.  The process is very simple.  All you need to get started are a few green tomatoes (tomatillos), the peppers of your [...]]]></description>
