Hola World

Well this is my first ever The Pocho post. I've been talking about doing this forever. What can I say, I like to procrastinate. I started writing this in June and didn't publish it until July.

So why did I first think about writing? Well it started simply enough with me lurking on a Lakers newsgroup. After years of that I finally started posting my own messages a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed getting my opinions out there and getting feedback on them from absolute strangers. Yeah occasionally I would get called an idiot, but it was still fun.

Then my sister, an amateur photographer, set up a site to showcase her artwork and I thought, why can’t I do the same thing and showcase my ramblings. Which brings us to this point.

So you might be wondering what this site will be about. Well, I like to surf the web but it always seems that my favorite sites never have any Mexican-American perspectives. (That's where the term "pocho" comes from. It's a pejorative term used by Mexicans to refer to Mexican-Americans.)

I decided to try to fill that void by offering my thoughts on the topics that appeal most to me: sports, video games, movies, television, politics, and above all the Los Angeles Lakers. Think of me as a Mexican-American, wannabe Sports Guy.

Hope your interest has been piqued and this will be the start of a beautiful friendship.
