I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you'll be able to reconnect to your home and memories through the movie.

I think that as with any kind of writing, responding to a prompt can sometimes spark nothing... but for me, if I just start writing something, anything, an idea will come.

Sometimes I have to really think hard and if nothing comes just admit it and move on to the next one.

I like these 3 prompts too.

These are good prompts. I've been around the 30-Day for awhile so some were familiar. Now I'm trying to learn to spin them in a new way or make the old news work better.

Taco Time

PROMPT May 5th

Find a local news story that makes you feel something. Share the story along with your opinion on it in your blog.

It's finally here! Cinco de Mayo! And I'm REALLY FEELING it today. Tacos, burritos, chips, salsa, guacamole, margaritas, mojitos and beer. How can you resist? And as you already know I'm all about the margaritas. I'm looking forward to a cool cocktail later today to toast the Mexican heritage we celebrate in California.

But honestly, I am wrong for doing that. In California the day has become about the food and the opportunity to party in the afternoon with lots of beer and cocktails. In fact, us Californians have turned into one big party. The true meaning of the day has been lost. Thanks to commercialism an important piece of history has been forgotten.

It's not about Mexican independence. It's not about Mexican cuisine. It's not about the food and the dancing and the music. It is, in fact, all about the battle of Puebla that took place in 1862. It's believed this victorious over the French helped the U.S. Union forces in its efforts to win the American Civil War.

Here's an article that rightly explains what we should be celebrating. And rightly shows what we should not.

But at the end of the day I still love a good margarita. And I'm willing to toast the victory at Puebla with a frozen classic cocktail.

Here's to the 5th. The 5th of May, that is.

Happy Cinco de Mayo.
