Que Onda Guero

Thu 07.28.2005 @ 9:24 pm
I haven't been able to get this song out of my mind for the past week! And instead of being sick to my stomach, I've been singing along to the music in my head with a smile on my face.

You know you've got a bad case of "Can't Get This Song off My Mind" when the second you wake up you're hearing the beat and you're seeing the words in your mind.

Que onda Jose?
Que onda Jose?

See the vegetable man
In the vegetable van
With a horn that's honking
Like a mariachi band
In the middle of the street
People gather around
Put the dollar-dollar-dollar in the can
Ay guey!, que onda?
TJ cowboys hang around
Sleeping in the sidewalk
With a Burger King crown
Never wake 'em up
Mas cerveza
Til the rooster crows
Vatos de gallos
Que onda guero?
Que onda guero?
Que onda guero?
Que onda guero?

Mondo broncos roll with crowbars
Chingling rancheros on cheap guitars
Abuelitas with plastic bags
Walking to the church with the Spanish candles
Daily borracho says 'que putas!'
Andale, Joto, your popsicle is melting
Run better run, da doo run run
Mara Salvatrucha in the midnight sun
Guero, where are you going?
Que onda guero?
Guero, where are you going?
Que onda guero?

Rampart boys with loaded rifles
Guatemalan soccer ball instant replays
Mango ladies, vendedores
And a busstop singer
Banda macho chorus

Que onda guero?
A donde vayas
Que onda guero?
A donde vayas

Y donde encontrastes ese? en un hoyo
Alla en la en Pico
Hey vamos a jugar futbol ah’ en el Griffith park
La Pico and Vermont
La locura
Yeah now I'm going to LACC
I'm taking a ceramics class
See the vegetable man
James Joyce
Michael Bolton

Que onda guero, where are you going?
Que onda guero, where are you going?

Hey what's up guero?
"You doing pushups?"
No te veo guero!
El guero!
Que Pasa
Otra vero guero
I dunno I saw a puppet at Tang's
with a mullet and a popsicle.

Hey Guero
Que locura!
Chico

Hey Guero
Yeah Bro?
Hehehe, footlong?

Let's go to Cap'n Cork.

Another Pet Peeve, Remake of Songs that sound EXACTLY like the original.

example? DHT singing "Listen to Your Heart" which belongs to Roxette.

I understand that most teenagers will not know about Roxette, even though they were popular in the eighties, a mere 15 years ago, but that is NO EXCUSE for wannabe bands taking another band's music and using it themselves in the same freaking arrangement.

All they changed was that DHT uses a piano. Woopty-do! Anyway, I'm all for Roxette, I think they're great and I'm gonna offer the original song for download so you can enjoy the song as it was meant to be enjoyed.

p.s. Same thing goes for No Doubt's "It's My Life", even though I love that song, no matter if No Doubt or Duran Duran sings it.

Tennis

Sun 07.24.2005 @ 6:54 pm
I have never been good in sports, or rather I've been good in some of them, I just have never really gotten into playing them for fun. I've seen kids running to the park and enjoy a game of football or basketball with the same enthusiasm I have when I take pictures with my Nikon or draw etc... So when I finally gave in and played a game of tennis a few days back and enjoyed it I was floored. Me? Enjoy tennis?
Granted tennis isn't on the pinnacle of rugged outdoor activities but for me it might as well be Mount Everest.
For not playing in more than 10 years I was good. Hitting the ball back and not have it fly over the fence. Don't you hate it when half of a tennis game is running around the court picking up those stupid green balls?

Anyway, I'm not saying I'm gonna rush off the play tennis ever afternoon from now on, but I will be enjoying the game when I do.

Don't whistle while you work

Thu 07.21.2005 @ 6:52 pm
listening to: Hey Jude
No matter what the seven dwarves say, don't whistle while you work. I hate it when people whistle why they work. I'm sitting there working in my computer and there's this constant high pitched noise. The whole damn day I was listening to it. I was about to shove a handful of pencils in his mouth.

It's like hearing someone smack gum for eight hours a day, five days a week.

Futbol

Thu 07.21.2005 @ 6:45 pm
listening to: Res, Hustler

I'm exhausted. I just came out of a two week long hormone roller coaster that had me in bitchy/lonely/sarcastic mode All. The. Freaking. Time. I was pissing myself off.

Eventually I realized that I was 'late', two weeks late to be exact, causing my hormones to be out of wack. Though realizing what was wrong with me only barely alleviated circumstances. What am I suppose to do when I want to rip your fucking head off, but know it's pms and have to swallow that pent up anger? Then having a 'party of one' pity fest because I can't 'connect' with anybody and will probably be alone the rest of my life.
Of course no good bitch fest is complete with the "What will happen when I die?" question, followed with an hour or so of inner preaching about living life to the fullest each and every day blah blahÊblahÊ.

Yeah... Gratefully I came out of it with the people around me unscathed.

Saturday I went to see some good ol' fashion futbol, or soccer to all those americans out there. There's nothing like live sports. Really. I love all the cussing, shouting, beer and nachos. Especially when you're sitting in the nosebleed section. It's very cathartic. And for me it was a win/win situation.

  

It was Mexico vs. Colombia. One country I was born in, the other my family is from. Though I've always had a soft spot for Mexico where futbol is concerned. So when I was lucky enough to witness one of the sweetest goals ever played, it was only half-way enjoyed. I was even filming when it happened with my sis's tiny digital camera, but I'm afraid while I was watching the goal being made, my hand holding the camera was aiming at people's heads. I hate it when that happens.

You know it's love when

you clean up the runny,smelly, all over the carpet and not the floor that's two freaking feet away poop.

  

Right Steve?

CD

Tue 07.12.2005 @ 2:21 pm
I've always said it, and I'll say it again.
I love Christian Dior.
I love CD's clothes.
I love CD's bags
I love CD's watched/rings/accesories etc...

My sis and i bought our mom the vintage flower Dior bag for her birthday and it's even more beautiful in person than in the picture. I can almost see why it costs $1,500 plus.


Anyway, CD's website is just as impressive and they now have up the HAUTE COUTURE FALL/WINTER 2005/2006 collection.

John Galliano does the remixes for each collection. I wish I would have known how to record the music from the fashion shows before. About 2 years ago Galliano had a remix with Janis Joplin, Cream, Nirvana, Scissor Sisters. It rocked! I still get nightmares haunting me with the sweet, sweet music, I'll only get to hear it in my dreams.

MANIFESTO

Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. We, the public, fill concert halls and cinemas every day. We read novels by the millions and buy records by the billions. We, the people, affect the making, the taste and the quality of our culture.
We want to make Art that charts. We thought of calling it a revolutionary new way to sell Art but it's not revolutionary. It's just cheap.

The malls are coming out of the walls.

This is another super cool link.

I just finished chatting with my little cousin who is coming over to spend the summer with us and ... heaven help me.
She just talked about bratz... and games involving swords and caves, and:

Cousin says:
"Do you

Cousin says:
like

Cousin says:
guessing games

Cousin says:
?

I say:
?

Cousin says:
I have a

Cousin says:
tttttttooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn of them!

I say:
I like riddles, but I like telling them more than guessing.

Cousin says:
oh.

Cousin says:
I'm so happy

Cousin says:
to be going!

Cousin says:
and you? are you happy

Cousin says:
i'm going?

I say:
well... ofcourse!

Cousin says:
just 1 more day

Cousin says:
and we'll be talking about EVERyTHING!

Cousin says:
all day and night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

She then proceeded in sending me ALL the animations available through MSN twice over. Do you see the number of exclamation points?! I swear I was hearing that psycho music in my head as we chatted.

I'm in for a month full of her... and although she's as sweet as honey and cute as a button, too much of her can make your teeth rot.

Meatball

Wed 07.06.2005 @ 11:33 pm
I have a crush on Adam Sandler. I know what you're thinking, it's because of one of his movies. Perhaps Happy Gilmore or The Waterboy... but no. Even though those movies rock ass that's not why.

I stumbled across his website and Sandler loves his dogs. And they are so cute and stumpy, it's almost unbearable. I spent a good hour watching the mini clips he has of Matzo and Meatball, his two bulldogs.

   

I recommend the one entitled Meat takes a Trip. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll have a crush on Sandler for loving his dogs so much. Really... one of the things I look for in a man is a guy who loves his dogs, it's so sexy.

If I ever see anyone actually wear one of these I'll laugh my ass off... and then bust mine out of the closet.

   

Narnia

Sun 07.03.2005 @ 3:53 pm
So I saw "War of the Worlds" yesterday and it was great. Of course there is one part that I have a big gripe about but I won't write about it here, just in case you haven't seen it yet. Don't let anybody tell you anything about it. And if you can see it in an IMAX screen, even better.

The previews before the movie started were awesome too. One of them, Narnia got me all giddy. I remember I read part of the chronicles when I first came here to learn the language and soon enough I forgot about not knowing that much english and got into the story.
I credit C.S. Lewis with teaching me english without me even noticing it. I have one question though, what is the original order of the Narnia books? I know that they changed the order they are read in, but what is the original order? The one that makes more sense?
