Collateral Damage

Gael García Bernal

Sexy, huh? I just thought I’d put this up in honour of Hispanic Heritage Month. I had always thought it was entire month of September but now I see not. Gael is Mexican, by the way.

What I know of my family history is this: my grandma was born María Elena Juanita Gallegos (name is completely different now, btw) in a small town called Ortiz in Colorado. She didn’t learn to speak English until she was 7 (me until I was 3 but I’ve basically forgotten all Spanish I knew). My family came to America from Spain as Conquistadors in the 15th or 16th centuries. They had babies with Native Americans and possibly those from the region now known as Mexico who emigrated to the area now known as the Southwest in the US.

So, go to an authentic Latino restaurant to celebrate and as you eat your food, think on the sexiness that is Gael García Bernal.
