Raised by a Mexican Mom? Then This is For You!

It's been forever since I posted a blog, so here it goes.

Javier Moreno over at Buzzfeed listed 28 things people who were raised by a Mexican mom know to be true,  And I'd have to say he's on point with some of these.  

We were not catholic so the candles didn't exist, and the quinceañera? Not so much.  Lol.  But trust me, I have family who represent this entire list and you know who you are!  LMAO.

Thank you sharing Michele!

1. She believed VapoRub (or Vick's) was a cure for everything.

2. Along with Sprite.

3. If you scraped your knee, you could always expect the “Sana, sana” rhyme.

You would feel the wrath of the dreaded chancla.

  

There was no way you were leaving the house without finishing your chores.

Whenever she watched novelas you were given a play by play.

Check out the entire list here. And if you haven't seen "The Secret of the Chancla" you can't catch that here. Hilarious!

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 64 - Your Life As A Dog

What would my life be like if I was a dog?  For one, I would eat more and see better at night.  But now I feel bad for my little babies, because I'm sure the surround system in our house is twice as loud for them.  Hmmm, then again, they sleep soundly when Ryan and I are watching a movie.  LOL.

Isn't This The Truth? The Scariest Moments In Your Everyday Life

Isn't this the truth???  Buzzfeed put together a video of the scariest moments in our everyday life; From finding a hair in your food to liking something on Facebook by accident.  Ironically enough I've experienced each and every one, lol.

A Real Final Destination

I honestly believe I've cheated death on multiple occasions.  I won't waste your time describing each incident, but suffice it to say, most were in my twenties, and most involved alcohol. 

Buzzfeed put together this video of a few blokes lucky to be alive, including a man who could feel a bear eating his brain, but he played dead.

What Would Happen If The World Lost Oxygen For 5 Seconds?

Remember what would happen if the sun were to disappear?  It wasn't a pretty outcome, was it?  Well, what would happen if the world lost oxygen for 5 seconds?  Yes, I said 5 seconds.  

At first, I'm thinking, "ah, we'll be alright." lol. But once I found out that everything in this world exists because the perfect amount of oxygen, I had a different outlook on this beautiful chemical element we so desperately need.  And the fact everyone's inner ear would explode.

How Much Food Can You Buy For $5 Around The World?

From the same folks who showed you what 2000 calories looked like, Buzzfeed shows us what $5 can buy us in different countries.  I mean, I knew $5 could buy me 8-1/2 lbs. of bananas here in the States, but I didn't know it could buy me 25 lbs. in Ethiopia.  In Russia you could buy 2 Big Macs for $5, but in Sweden only 1/2 of one.  Pretty crazy, huh?

12 Game of Thrones House Sigils for the Internet

Check out these Game of Thrones Sigils Caldwell Tanner over at College Humor posted last Saturday.  He used the internet's most popular sites as his point of reference.  They're pretty darn cool.

6 More after the jump...

What Does 2000 Calories Look Like?

So supposedly the Recommended Daily Allowance should be 2000 calories a day; Actually now it is termed "Recommended Daily Intake."  

Sure, you can calculate how much you should be consuming on a daily basis by clicking here, but I don't necessarily agree with it.  I mean, c'mon, I'm supposed to be eating 2800 calories/day?  That's not gonna happen.  I've lost 62 pounds for a reason, and it wasn't by eating 2000 calories/day, much less 2800.

On a side note, this is what 2000 calories looks like...

 

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 23 - "Because This Is What The F-ing People Want" [NSFW]

Aye, Aye, Aye, I keep asking myself the same question over and over, and I keep coming up with same freaking answer! YES! YES! and YES!

I'm sorry but this has got to be the most stupidest thing I have ever seen.  Lol. Yes, I know I'm using improper grammar, but since we're being stupid who gives a sh*t.

Seriously Bro - would you set your hair on fire, because "Bro, this is what the f-ing people want"?

So a couple idiots (who shall remain nameless), thought it would be a good idea to feed a fellow bro some flaming nachos. No. Some real flaming nachos.  But if that wasn't enough, why not use a propane tank and light their bro's hair on fire as well?  I think Matt Stopera over at BuzzFeed said it best, “If you needed anymore proof that this generation is the GREATEST generation here it is.”

Oh, one more thing... this is NSFW because of the filthy language the bros use throughout the taping and burning of their fellow bros hair. 

What If RuPaul Moderated A Republican Debate?

Omg, this is hilarious, but what if RuPaul were to moderate a Republican debate?  

There is one thing I do know, they would definitely be up shit creek without a paddle.

Oh thank you Buzzfeed, you didn't fuck it up!

How To Explain Gay Rights To An Idiot

There are so many people in this country who try to associate our rights with those of a pedophile, animals, or marrying a tree, that we don't know how else to explain to these idiots the difference between inanimate objects or people that are alive.  So a big thank you goes out to the very bright individual who wrote the following post, and my Facebook friend, Brett Daminski for posting it on his wall.   The moment I read it, I knew I had to share it with my blog readers.  I Absolutely love it!
