Is this blog dead?

Well,
the Cinco de Mayo has come and gone
for the city of Detroit.

I originally created this blog
to be of assistance
to those who were seeking information
on the festivities
sponsored by the Comite Patriotico Mexicano of Detroit.
I so wanted to be a part of that organization
and do all I could
to help PR the City's events.

But,
as things would have it,
the event got smaller and smaller.
The Comite, for whatever reason,
really wasn't very receptive to my ideas.
And let's face it.
The event in Detroit
became less and less safe.
I'm a pretty positive person
and I do believe the event
could have been bigger and better
and safer,
but it would have required a lot of work
and a lot of people,
which I was willing to recruit.
But the Comite stopped sending me info altogether.
Why is that?
I mean,
a group of folks complain
that there isn't enough help.
Help arrives
but is pushed away.
Alas,
I guess my work to try and save this event,
to try to make it better and safer,
was just not meant to be.

I guess a part of me was being nostalgic.
You see,
my father was not only a member of this organization,
he was also a past president.

There is a much smaller Cinco de Mayo event
held in the City where I live.
I've already made contact
with the person who is in charge of that event,
and I may very well
work with that committee
for Cinco de Mayo 2012.

In any event,
I will keep this blog open and alive.
For now,
I will just post random anything
that is cultural,
anything that supports and celebrates
the Mexican Heritage.
