| The
Unapologetic Mexican is a big-hearted, big mouthed, relentless
and resourceful cat who's been educated by both the School of Hard
Knocks, as well as one of the world's most lauded Film/TV Universities
("lauded" can be translated to serious debt.)
THE UNAPOLOGETIC MEXICAN is a published artist,
photographer and author, a high school drop-out, one hell of a dancer,
the man who bringeth the salsa, and who does more by nine a.m. than
your whole family does in a week.
Pause to feel the love.
THE UNAPOLOGETIC MEXICAN (surprise!) is not
waiting to steal your meatpacking job, nor slouched against a tree
under a huge sombrero, but is, instead, preposterously articulate
and exceptionally well-versed in various unexpected and unannounced
bodies of knowledge.
Because of all these wondrous happenings, THE
UNAPOLOGETIC MEXICAN commands respect from, and strikes fear into,
the hearts of salsa-deniers and Minutemen everywhere. His Kung Fu
must not be questioned—but if you dare, he is more than willing
to get downright Quixotic on your ass.
THE UNAPOLOGETIC MEXICAN is the antidote to Manifest Destiny, the
heir of the seventeenth note in the Lost Arpeggio of Sancho Panza's
Requiem, and the universe's response to Lou Dobbs, John Gibson,
and Alberto Gonzales all rolled up into one big, stinkin', sexy
breakfast burrito.
