i'm a brown person.

that's overly simplistic i know, but i figure it's just easier to say that than it is to say latino or hispanic or mexican or something like that and have the pc police get all pissy or something like that. on top of that, it doesn't seem to be terribly relevant to much of anything. gimme a minute, cause i'll make the connection.

anyways, i've been getting these emails in my inbox, maybe you've gotten them too, they're the ones that show a name that you know in the sender field and have an offer for free movie tickets. it's usually indicated in the subject line with a phrase something like "hey go here and we'll get free movie tickets!" and then if you don't go there, i dunno where, i never went, i'll get into that in a minute i guess, then you get subsequent emails with subject lines like "last chance for free movie tickets!" or the less conspicuous "invitation," ostensibly to get you to go there and get free movie tickets.

so like i said, i never end up going, though a couple of times i'd open the email, even though i knew i possessed no designs on clicking the link inside. the whole thing reminded me of a george lopez bit where he'd talk about mexican people being distrustful of anything like a sweepstakes or an offer for free stuff, the fear was that anything like that was a front for the INS to get your name and address and stuff and ship you back across the border like they did with cheech.

on the other hand, i could be missing out on a chance to teach some asian guys to be cholos.

thinking of: escape
