The Importance of Espanol

I finally finally learned how to roll my r's this weekend. It had been a long time coming. Granted I was halfway through a margarita, but in the middle of "caro" there is was. And the I could do it again "perrrrro."

Since I moved to Colorado I've been trying, admitedly pretty half-heartedly, to learn Spanish. In Avon a majority of the workforce was Mexican, and I felt uneducated not being able to communicate.

I hate being a self centered american. I hate traveling to other countries and feeling stupid. My father is the worst. He speak slower and louder, but still in english, and then gets frusturated when people don't understand. I don't want that to be me.

So i'm excited that another step in the Spanish progression is coming together. Now I just need to learn how to say more that "your mom is a whore" and "bring me the silverwear"
