Hispanic Heritage Month

October is Hispanic Heritage Month which means cities like Miami and Carpenterville (home to my high school) are celebrating like it’s Cinco de Mayo. So in leau of this month… I’ve decided to put together a list of the coolest and most influential Hispanics. I could have gone the easy route and put the likes of Sonia Sotomayor or other Hispanic political figures…. But I hate politics and these are the coolest and most influential to me.

George Lopez- Not sure why but when I think of Hispanic I think of George Lopez. He’s a stand up comedian and actor that stars in his self-titled show George Lopez. I’m not gonna lie, I’m not sure what else he has done, but he’s a funny dude.

Mario Lopez- aka AC Slater. This guy made the mullet cool and he patented the sitting on chairs backwards. He gave meaning to being a jock and is the main reason why jocks make fun of nerds. What little Latino child didn’t wanna be AC Slater when they grew up? His only downside was dating Jesse Spano… she was a freak... but everybody knew he was screwing around with Kelly Kapowski on the side while Zack was butt pumping Screech. If you didn't see that happening, you're a idiot cuz AC Slater ALWAYS got the hottest chicks.

Marc Anthony- This guy looks like skeletor yet he has dated some of the most beautiful women in the world. He even cheated on the former Miss Universe with a Miami waitress! Dude, you were married to the most beautiful women IN THE UNIVERSE! And you still cheated on her! I'm not sure if that's cool or just moranic... but now he’s married to J.Lo… how does he do it?!

Christiano Ronaldo- Dubbed the sexiest man in the world, this guy is a global playboy. He is, arguably, the best soccer player in the world and was recently bought from Manchester United for 80 million Euros! When he’s not playing soccer, he’s an underwear model and parties with the likes of Paris Hilton and other hot celebrities. He is God in his native Portugal… easily the coolest Hispanic on this list.

Pedro from Napolean Dynamite- One of the most memorable quotes from the movie: "Well, when I came home from school my head started to get really hot. So I drank some cold water, but it didn't do nothing. So I laid in the bathtub for a while, but then I realized that it was my hair that was making my head hot. So I went into my kitchen and I shaved it all off. I don't want anyone to see." Vote for Pedro!

Emilio Estevez- aka Gordon Bombay, the Minnesota Miracle Man from the Mighty Ducks. Of course, Emilio has had many bigger roles, perhaps the Breakfast Club, but I only remember him leading Charlie, Goldberg, Adam Banks, and the rest of the Ducks to a gold medal against team Iceland. I hated those guys! EMILIOOOOO

Sammy Sosa- There could have been many baseball players on this list since 99% of the Major Leagues is Hispanic (just look at the White Sox lineup), but I put Sammy Sosa on the list because this guy cheated baseball so bad, that it’s just hilarious. As if steroids weren’t bad enough, using a corked bat and being caught is even funnier. His hop step and kiss and chest pounds after each home run were so unneeded and only made him look like a dousche bag. Sammy, you’re on this list for being the biggest idiot.

Mexican that got me through Spanish Class- Thank you.

Julio Costa- Cuz he used to hook you up at CO’s and the only person that likes to bet as much I do. Enough said...

Sexiest Hispanic Women… These women need no explanation and are some of the sexiest women in the world

Shakira- Her hips don’t lie.

Adriana Lima

Eva Mendes

So to you all, I say Gracias!
