1. What does your screen name mean? Well I'm mostly of Sicilian and Spanish ancestory and I grew up in a very Cuban neighborhood and later got rooted in Mexico when I lived on the west coast...especially when I lived just over the border and eventually in Tijuana. There is an old Rosemary Clooney song called Mambo italiano which sings about some of the blending of Sicilian and Cuban culture that was occuring in the 1950's....it's a perfect description for me (though for me there are parts of me that are very Mexican..."a mixed-up Siciliano" as the song says...so i couldn't think of a much more fitting screen name.....and the 71 relates to the year I was born.
2. Would you like to change your screen name? I am quite happy with my screen name. 3. How different are you now than you were five years ago? Very different. I was living in San Jose trying to get through college carless after getting kicked out from my San Franciscso apartment onto the street more or less from an exboyfriend that was getting way to messed up in the Cristal Meth scene. As hard as it was it was really a blessing in desguise. What Saturday Night Live character is your favorite? I was always partial to the killer bees and any character Gilda Radner would play. I am much more attached to the old SNL than the new.....I remember staying up really late to see the first episode. I was really excited.
Get Fuzzy, Garfield or Opus.. and why? I don't know who get fuzzy is, I hated Opus, and I wasn't really crazy about garfield. At this point I think the cartoon is kind of played out and lame.
