Let's siesta!

Posted Monday, May 5, 2008, at 11:15 AM

There are a lot of things about the Latino culture that we as Americans have embraced. We drink tequila, celebrate Cinco de Mayo and dine at Mexican restaurants.

There's another part of their culture our culture should embrace: the siesta. Think about it, every afternoon we could stop whatever we are doing and take a nap then wake up and continue on with our day (just like college).

I vote for siesta to follow lunch.

I agree completely!!! Italians do it also, everything shuts down for three hours a day...hard to get things done but I never met an angry Italian shop keeper!!

The idea behind Robert's Random is for me to write about whatever I'm thinking about whenever I'm thinking it. I try to write 3-5 times a week, but sometimes real work gets in the way of that. Sometimes I'll share whatever random thought I might have that day but most of the time, I like to write about things going on in the news. I'm a total news junkie, I spend a lot of time online at various news sites. If I find a story where someone does something totally stupid or I wonder "what were they thinking?" I don't mind pointing it out incase others missed it or taking my best guess at what they were thinking. I like to laugh, I like to make others laugh. There's so much serious and wrong stuff going on in the news that when I find an unusual or light story, I like to use it. And while real life news events might be the focus of many of my blogs, I'm just trying to entertain you, make you laugh and maybe even think about something you didn't know before reading. I'm not trying to break any serious news or deliver any hard-hitting coverage. You'll have to read a paper or watch one of the network shows for that.
