Just the other day i went to walmart and there was a big gang of Mexicans and they were looking around and talking back in fourth in spanish and I did not want to make it totally obvious but i sat there and i tried to listen to them and pick out works that i new and they as far as i know were trying to find the meat section and pop because i heard them say cola and carne. I did not want to go up to them and try speecking spanish because i did not want to make a sentence and have it mean something that would get me in trouble or something so i just kinda walk back and fourth by them and listened to them talk for a wile but them it was time to go so i left and had the pleasures of knowing what those guys and girl all said or at least some of it.

Selling My Toyota Truck

One day I decided to put my Toyota truck on craigslist for $1100 with a blown motor. Out of the six different callers that called four of them were Mexican. One guy was really hard to understand but I could still understand him. He came and looked at the truck but he seen that the frame had a little crack in it. He said he didn't want it because the frames are what they really want down in Guatemala he said these trucks are the only basic ones that the use down there. Then the next day a dad and son came that were Mexican and wanted to buy the truck. They sat there and looked at it and then when they would talk they would talk to me in English but then when they would talk to each other they would speak in Spanish. Then the dad called a guy on the phone and talked really fast in Spanish. I could tell for the majority of what they were saying only because I knew the subject would be about my truck. I picked up the word carro a lot and comprar a lot as they were discussing what they wanted to give for it. Then they did end up giving me what I wanted for it and they were happy with it.

Que Pasa

Maddie Digmann and I are always together at lunch and most times on of us will complain about something and the other will go ?que pasa? and the other one will say que pasa and we will go back and forth forever. Its so funny that we are saying the same thing to each other but it has a different meaning when we saying. People that are not in Spanish most likely look at us like we are freaks saying the samething back and forth to each other.

Bonita

So I find myself speaking Spanish all the time. I don't just start saying complete sentences but I will just say random words at random times. I don't mean to but sometimes I just say it. I say I really don't speak spanish except for in Spanish class but then I realize that I really do. I don't realize it until I think about it and then i notice that I use it a lot. It is just the random words that I use all the time and in Spanish we always use. when I am with my friends and family I always find myself saying gracias and simple words like that and they sometimes respond in Spanish. I never thought I would be the one who was talking in Spanish but I guess I am.

Selling Eric W's Truck

A few weeks ago I was at Eric's house while he was trying to sell a toyota truck to a guy from craigslist. I heard the guy talking on the phone, and I could tell he was mexican. When he got their, we all looked over the truck hoping that the guy would buy it. After a while of looking at it, the guy called someone, and started talking to them about the truck, in SPANISH! When I heard him start talking, I decided that I would try to translate what he was saying. All I was able to translate and remember though was carro and a few other words. He was talking really fast on the phone, and after hearing that it really made me want to study some of our notes.

Chad Johnson

Chad Johnson (Ocho Cinco) plays for the New England Patriots. Every time I hear his name I think, "Why would you ever want to change your last name to a bunch of Spanish numbers, even if it is your number?" Well this guy did it. He liked the number 85 so much he changed his last name to Ocho Cinco. Chad "Ocho Cinco" Chad is a wide reciever for the New England Patriots, and helps score most of the team's points. He was recently in the Super Bowl and lost to the Giants.

Diego Sanchez

Diego Sanchez is one of my favorite fighters in the UFC. Why I'm writing about him is because he is hispanic. Diego is one of the most entertaining fighters I have ever watched. Diego's nickname is The Dream. As a pro fighter Diego has a record of 25 wins with 5 losses. Whenever I watch his fights I know I'm in for a treat. He is a really positive person. He will run into the ring screaming yes!
