BRR!!!

Oh man... we just got DUMPED ON!!! (snow-wise, I mean). It's beautiful-the only word I would even THINK to describe this place as... beautiful beautiful beautiful snow. Love it. But it's cold, and my car stops working if I leave it running too long, so I have to warm it up... geez. OK, lately, music has been on my mind... to express emotions, or just to get me to sleep. So here is another Coldplay (ta-da!). Love 'em, I really do! They are also somewhat known for making bizarre music videos. Which is cool, 'cause they make you think. I may or may not be getting back to blogging in the near-future, especially 'cause I have Christmas presents stacking up in my bedroom (literally) I have bought for everyone except Big Kahuna and Big Kahuna's parents... this is going to be fun.

Anyway, back to the music video... Here is (drum roll, PLEASE):

Trouble.



Trouble lyrics

Oh no, I see,
A spider web is tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I'd said,
Oh no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
O no, I never meant to do you harm.

O no, I see,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
But here am I in my little bubble

Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Although I never meant to do you harm.

They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.

Shakira

I hope you don't mind. I LOVE Christmas (especially the snow and Noel-bunnies), so of course, I had to change my blog for Christmas. FORGIVE ME!!!

Sorry I haven't been around lately. Much stress-school, an award for doing well in school (which ended up NOT coming), and a not-won-auction item (which I won, but didn't GET!!!), and that may or may not be blogged vented about later. Just don't ask right now.

Anyway, high school is not so exciting right now. SO that means I'm ready for college. And, being more than 50% Latin, I am what one would call part of a diverse/minor culture. Which means-SCHOLARSHIPS!!!!!! Yes! So, I have traveled far (approx. 72.7 miles north) to visit a college to see what they had to offer. They have multicultural unions (including but not limited to): Latin Student Union, Black Student Union, and Polynesian Student Union are just a few that were represented yesterday.

I'll blog about it more later, but my point of today's tale is Shakira. The Latin Student Union had a couple of girls go up and dance to Shakira! I love her. Her voice, her dancing... oh man. Anyway, this song is the version of "This is for Africa" in Spanish ("Porque esto es Africa"). For those of you who don't know Shakira, she is much compared to (in my house) as the 'Hispanic Elvis', because she REALLY shakes her hips. She's good.



This is supposedly the official world cup song, since this year, the world cup (Soccer) was held in Africa. So there are of course, some scenes of Africans (I suppose). LOVE IT!!!
