Dictionary

cholo
\cho-low\
noun

1. In modern usage in the United States, the term "cholo" usually indicates a person of Mexican, Mexican-American, or Indio descent, who is associated with a particular Southwestern culture. The term is used in Caló slang, but it in turn has infiltrated into mainstream American English use, specifically in association with American youth movements such as the "lowrider" subculture, or the hip hop scene in general. The word is sometimes associated with Hispanic gang culture, especially in popular media, but the origin and history of the modern usage is somewhat complex.

Home Again

My last week in Seattle was HOT! We're talking record highs of 104 degrees. I had multiple Seattle-ites refer to my ability to handle such heat due to my Texas origins. I quickly reminded them that everything in Texas is air conditioned. Seattle, on the other hand, is not equipped for such hot temperatures, so I basically melted on the bus ride home, only to melt some more as I sat by the window in my apartment hoping for some relief. I think the weather gods were preparing for my return to Lubbock.

Now that I'm home, I remember how much I love my little apartment. It's clean, it's cool, and it's mine. And best of all, it comes with a companion.
