So the other day I just happened to overhear this conversation. Believe it or not, I wasn’t even trying to listen. My Metiche tendencies have very purposely been subdued over the past couple of months. Okay, okay… so not really. I’ve just been kind of too busy to be as chismoso as […]

HOW TO: Echar Habladas (Talk Crap) in Spanglish!
No se hagan… you know you do it too. When instead of saying something ugly or mean, you just opt to say something a little more underhanded and sometimes kind of sarcastic as well. Depending on your intentions, an hablada can be mean and really just as nasty as calling someone out […]
Machocorridos: Paquita La Del Barrio Eat Your Heart Out!
¡Uyy! It takes a lot to get a only a one word response out of me. Usually when something ignites or inspires me in any way I can go and on forever, but this time this album really takes the cake. Turns out the Mexican comedian known as El Norteño […]
