This was Chucho(Esai Morales)my role model back when he was playing in My Familia. This is who i wanted to be as a kid. Even though he diead in the movie. But that wasn’t the point. Lol
A little change in hair style was in much need.
El Pachuco: The idea of the original chuco is to look like a diamond, to look sharp, hip, bonaroo, finding a style of urban survival in the rural skirts and outskirts of the brown metropolis of Los, Cabron.

This wonderful song always has it’s way to take me to an old memory of me in my younger days back when i was a little shit, 9 or 12 years old. Now this memory isn’t like something dramatic or anything of that nature, it’s just a beautiful memory that i hope to never lose. So it goes like this. Mi ama and i lived in a small ass apartment singlebed room in the “ghetto” so ppl say, i just never seen it that way. Yes shit went down ppl getting shot, killed, murders, suicides, you named it it happened. So yeah maybe it was “ghetto” but for me it was more, it was home, i grew up not having much Familia. Hell no family perro the ppl in the apartments became that missing piece that i didn’t have. You can now see, although crazy shit happened around me i had mi familia i felt at home. Well in my memory i remeber watching my favorite movie of all time to this day it’s still my favorite movie, Mi Familia(my family) now i remember watching it and my role model had became Chucho “the baddest pachuco of all East Los” well the scene was playing when he was ironing Jimmy’s pants for the wedding. I wanted to be Chucho so bad as a kid. He was cool, a pachuco, cholo, fucking danced MAMBO, Classic Chevy driving bad ass. At this point now I’m also ironning my black dickies with the finnest crease you can imagen, pulled out the flano tambien cause shit you gotta keep everything sharp. As I’m ironing and just stock on my movie and making sure to not burn my clothes, mi ama is in the bedroom. She comes out the room and i swear i can just feel her glow of just pure happiness, i look at her and she just smiles and walks into the kitchen/livingroom and starts dinner. And thats it.
Like i said its not a dramatic story, but its part of mi historia, un recuerdo hermoso, un dia quevi a mi ama happy. I love you ma.
Thanks for reading folks. Hope yall listed to this song as well.
