Terrific (as in Terrible) Conversation

Va en Español
mi mamá tiene una terrible pronunciación del Idioma Anglo pero tengo una ligera sospecha que lo hace adrede. Hoy mi madre aprovecho nuestra sesión vespertina de cine en el hogar para relucir los contrastes entre la lengua Inglesa y la Española. Todo comenzo con el adjetivo "TERRIFIC", y como diría mi señor padre (a quien dedicaré un post posteriormente) de ahí pa'l real. Después de un debate que a Aristegui encantaría y a Merquer pondría a dormir, queme tres discos para el viaje que planeo hacer esta semana. Uno de ellos se llama Soft Pop: Easy Listening, otro Bon Voyage: English Volume, y el tercero De Viaje: Volumen en Español.
Después de analizarlo un poco, me di cuenta que mi pretensión de dominar dos lenguas y abusar de ello en la cotidiana acción de rotular un disco compacto no es peor que la pretensión de mi madre en serle fiel al nuesta lengua española y aprovechar cada instante para producir el idioma Inglés fonéticamente incorrecto y hacer burdas pero bien fundamentadas críticas, (she's a major bitch, and love her for that).
Las vacaciones (o como yo las llamo después de haber culminado mis estudios universitarios: la sobrexposición al ocio sin opción de protector contra rayos ultravioleta) han sacado a relucir pequeños y valiosos detalles, dignos de ser guionizados para un short film independiente que sea un exito en Sundance, y un fracaso en la taquilla.
Este fue el momento Gilmore entre mi madre y yo el dia de hoy.

Must Listen to: Robyn/ With Every Heartbeat
We could keep trying
but things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I'm dying with every step I take
But I don't look back

And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
It hurts with every heartbeat

Movie Classic: Tootsie (1982)
Michael Dorsey: I never said I love you...
Sandy: I never said I love you, I don't care about I love you! I read "The Second Sex", I read "The Cinderella Complex", I'm responsible for my own orgasms, I don't care! I just don't like to be lied to!

Keep On Singing My Song


after a long time I realized you were the song I was also looking for...hope it's not too late to sing along! ...thanks D, for reminding me I'm not a robot

Song: Damien Rice/ The Blower's Daughter


And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most...of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

Movie Must Quote: Closer/2004
Dan: I want Anna back.
Larry: She's made her choice.
Dan: I owe you an apology. I fell in love with her. My intention was not to make you suffer. Larry: So where's the apology? Ya cunt.
Dan: I apologize. If you love her you'll let her go so she can be happy.
Larry: She doesn't want to be happy.
Dan: Everybody wants to be happy.
Larry: Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing.

Walk the Walk


the path is wide now, yes... it's getting wider by my walk!

Blondie-Good Boys
Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Fear of flightI’m so afraid of heights
Why are you asking why
I’m walking but my feet are never touching the ground

Movie Quote: Sex and the City/2008
Carrie Bradshaw: What makes you think something bad is gonna happen?
Charlotte York: Because! Nobody gets everything they want! Look at you, look at Miranda. You're good people and you two both got shafted. I'm so happy and... something bad is going to happen.
Carrie Bradshaw: Sweetie, you shit your pants this year. I think you're done.

Summer Solstice


It's here, the time of the year when expecting the unexpected is expecting too much... let's see what this year's emotional rollercoaster will bring to my very own scripted-reality tv series.
You know how much I love Summertime...do you still have some lovin' for me?

What a View


WHAT A VIEW
it felt really goooood seeing you, it felt real, it felt right, and for once, very comfortable...we might as well get along just fine after all! u're now closer to that place where heart is supposedly located, so human that amazes me.
p.s.2.myself/ the blushing factor is back in town, I got a fancy cake for free, just because, I bet u didn't see that coming mr.smarty pants...!


What I'm Listening to: Splender/ I think God Can Explain
It's alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I believe I'm the same
I get carried away
It's alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed
I'll get over it, yeah

Movie Quote: Being Julia(2004)
Jimmie Langton: I've lived in the theatre since I was a kid, what I don't know about acting isn't worth knowing. Now, you may be 20 years old and just beginning, but I think you're a genius. You've got magnetism, but no idea how to use it. You have to grab the audience by the throat and say "Now, you buggers, you pay attention to me!" and remember this, when you're on the stage acting, theatre is the only reality, everything else, the world outside, what civilians call the real world, is nothing but fantasy and I bloody well won't let you forget it.




.What a great weekend.

I WANT LOVE


Movie Must: Nothing Hill/1999
Honey: Oh God, this is one of those key moments in life, when it's possible you can be really, genuinely cool - and I'm failing 100%. I absolutely and totally and utterly adore you and I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world and more importantly I genuinely believe and have believed for some time now that we can be best friends. What do YOU think?
I WANT LOVE/Elton John
I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't bring me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love
I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't bring me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love
So bring it on, I've been bruised
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance, I've had enough
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't bring me down
Won't break me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love
But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't bring me down
Won't break me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love
