Hi, my name is Martin Ochoa, and this is Everyday Mexican. I am 21 years old, currently working at Autozone, and living in Karnes City TX. on this blog i will be ranting and raving, giving my opinions and mostly venting. this is my way to get things off my chest. So, let me tell you more about myself. i was born in San Antonio, TX, and was raised there my whole life, until as fate would have it, my grandfather became ill and a decision needed to be made. Like a lot of families, it came time to decide if he should be put into a facility where he would have 24 hour care, or we would provide the 24 hr care. So after 29 days at the VA, my mother and I quit our jobs, packed up our belonging and made the move to karnes city. We did well here, i got the time to get closer to my grandfather, something i wanted to do for along time. Well after a year, and one week short of my 20th birthday, he passed away. He was 96 years old already, so we knew the time was going to come, but when it did it was still very hard. That was only the beginning. In the time we were hr taking care of him, some lowlife decides to break into the only home i had ever known, and trash the place. This brings me to the here and the now. I am working as hard as i can to make it through this life, and just keep going, but it gets hard sometimes, like now. I want to go home, more than anything else. What is particularly depressing is seeing my friends Myspaces and Facebooks and seeing that they are starting families and moving on and i am stuck in neutral watching them moving forward. i need to get into gear but the shifter is missing and i have to find it. The worst part of it all i have no one to turn to, so that the reason i started this blog. Your comments would be much appreciated.
