For all of those out there that are planning on celebrating Mexico's Independence today, don't bother. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence day and its not even celebrated widely by Mexican's. It is pretty much a white guys excuse to get wasted. Because that is what we like to do, we like to kick them out of our country, then every 5th day of May, we drink in honor of their heritage and pride. God Bless us everyone!!!
I like to celebrate Japanese children instead!

(Actually this is a massively fun holiday. I always forget Cinco de Mayo even exists, because Children's Day is so great.)
