dia de los muertos

today is the day of the deads. today, i am remembering many that have come and gone in my life.

the funny thing though is that i basically have no idea what dia de los muertos is really all about. i mean, i know that it's to celebrate the souls of the deceased but i don't know how it came about or what one is meant to do. thus, i've decided to read a bit more about it. you can do the same here.
