Meet Your Editor: Jack Tomas
16 July 2009, 10:59 AM. By Jack Tomas
I am Jack Tomas, a mammal of the Cubano variety. Some say I am merely an urban legend like the Chupacabra, Bigfoot, or Chayenne but I assure you am I very real. VERY REAL.
As a contributing editor for Anyguey, I will be tackling the tough issues, including baseball, technology, politics, and the ubiquitous weird stuff. I will sift through the internet, (porn), and the news, (mostly also porn), to highlight and discuss the stuff that interests we Latino men. [Ed: Porn.]
What qualifies me to write this blog? Good question.
- I am a male–I have male genitalia and, therefore, qualify, technically, as a man.
- I am Latino–My parents are from Cuba and I grew up in Texas immersed in Tejanoness. I am a fluent Spanish speaker. Also I have arroz con pollo thighs that can’t quit. This is not a qualification so much as information I think you should know.
- I can write. And read.
But tell us more about you, Jack. We are intrigued.
Sure thing. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas to Cuban immigrant parents and was raised by my mom and grandparents. I got a BA in Communications (Film/TV) and Drama at the University of St. Thomas in Houston. I moved to New York in 2005 and got an MA in Film from the New School in 2008. I am primarily a filmmaker, editor, and writer working in the film biz in NYC. My films have been shown at Cannes and The New York Independent Film Festival, among others. I am married to a lovely girl named Marybec and I have a cat named Abigail.

Finally, another Cuban to back me up on the fact that, yes, we invented the internet. And words.
But apparently not modesty
and also, allegedly, they house the hottest peppers in the world. ha!
Alex, you and me are representing La Isla bonita, old skool style.
¡Beny Moré! ¡Representa!
And yes, Jose Marti invented the internet while in exile in NYC in 1892. So Al Gore can kiss my culo.
I thought La Isla Bonita was Puerto Rico as per Madonna.
Of course Al Gore didn’t invent the internet. Jose Marti did? Hmm never heard of that before. Who told you that?
that pic is rad. welcome!
Cindy, Mija, The shit Madonna doesn’t know could fill the Library of Congress
