My back hurts

My back hurts like all get out. I was playing soccer for my P.E .class yesterday and I went all out for a diving stop. Well I sure stopped the ball, but I also hurt my back.
I didn't even sign up for the class yet I ended up in there because my self defense class was cancelled. I often ask myself, how Mexican are you if you dont like soccer? All my Hispanic friends make fun of me because I dont like to watch or even play soccer like them. Does that make me less Mexican or Hispanic than them? I love baseball, keyword love. The Dominicans love it too. I have no problems watching or being involved in the sport, therefore I feel like I can be part of that. I just plain dont like soccer, its boring and besides what is hockey for ehh?

Am I going to be Tex?

When I go to Orlando for my internship with Disney World am I going to be pigeon holed as the guy from Texas. I think we will call him Tex. Hey Tex, how many horses do you have? What is ranch life like, do you see many Indians, and who shot J.R.? Are these the questions that I will have to answer becuase all the media depicts Texans as gun totting, cowboy hat wearing, Dallas Cowboy fan people. I am sure that I do embody some attributes many Texans are accused of. Damn right I am going to take my Texas flag with me, I am a proud Texan. I do have a bit of an accent that lets people know that I am more American than my Mexican heritage, but I can speak and understand lots of Spanish. I dont have a cowboy hat or boots, but I daggum sure got a belt buckle and tight jeans. I think that Kevin Fowler said it best in his song lyrics, "I'm a hellbent 100% Texan til I die."

American Indians In The Media
One thing I have been wondering to do with as the final project is to deal with the image of the American Indian and how they have been portrayed in the media. The first thing that comes to mind when this arises is the image of the Lone Rangers sidekick, Tonto. In the Spanish language, the word tonto is a slang word meaning stupid. I am sure I am not the only one that noticed this coincidence, am I? How about the consumate environmentalist who cries at the sight of trash on the side of the road as depicted on the highway commercials of the late '70s and ealry '80s. Now cartoons are getting involved in it, drawings of the famous cigar store indians have been prevalent on the Simpsons and Tom & Jerry cartoons. Wow, must be a sad time to be an American Indian. There must be some way to escape the drunken casino pot smoking image.

Disney Look
I recently was accepted into the Disney College Program in Orlando Florida. I will attend the internship within the guidelines they have requested for each participating member to be within. Gentlemen are expected to have haircuts off the ear and off the collar and can be dyed within a natural looking color. Women are expected to have hair of natural color or dyed to be a natural color and no visible tatoos. I agree with these guidelines because at the themepark we are creating memories for the guests.
