I Love You John Cusack!


There really is no such man as John Cusack… ok.. perhaps there is a John Cusack, but there aren’t any men like those he portrays in film…

I wouldn’t still be single by choice if there were…

The way he comes across, even when he’s playing sort of an ass, is sparkling and charming and multi-layered… like someone you’d want to spend time with at a coffee shop just talking… ah well… if music be the food of love, play on…

Does anyone wonder why  Maria fell in love in East LA.. but grew up in Spanish Harlem.. and is living da life just like a movie star…  I mean, if she was so freggin poor – how did she get from Spanish Harlem to East Los Angeles? I was thinking that maybe she got the eviction letter in Harlem, so she hitchhiked to East LA, and while cleaning houses and thinking of way to make it better she fell in love with Mario Lopez at a bar where Carlos Santana was playing guitar (i think she was bussing tables there), and is now dancing with the stars…. and living the life just like a movie star….
does anyone else find this song somewhat stereo type heavy…. and what the heck does “Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula” mean?
I thought at first they were saying Mama CHOLA? Like tear drop and tattoo Sad Girl or something… odd
oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She’s living the life just like a movie star

oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poorer is getting poorer

See mi y Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there’s an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (east coast)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (west coast )

oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She’s living the life just like a movie star

oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

I said a la fella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi cosa la esperanza

Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (north side)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula
(south side)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula ( world wide)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula ( open up ur eyes )

Maria you know you’re my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even when we’re apart
It feels like we’re together maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She’s living the life just like a movie star

oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

Mad Money (DVD of the Month!)


This little movie was a guilty pleasure. I am a Queen Latifah fan – there is just something very real and solid about the way she plays all her characters. She has a level of confidence that trancends the screen. Of course Diane Keaton is always a riot. I love her classic head shaking, hand flailing, squealing hysterics. Alway funny. A surprise to me, was Katie Holmes, playing a totally whacked out, but likable bimbo. You cannot help but like her in this film – she is just too cute. Great job on her part and I am personally glad to see her out of the house – Tom is freaky!

Anyway, if you just want to have flat out silly fun and are in a light hearted mood, Mad Money is sweet, simple, clean and friendly.

The basic storyline: A mature couple faces debt and possible financial ruin when after a year of looking for a new job, the husband (Ted Danson) finally admits he just cant find anything and they are now flat broke. His wife (Diane K) takes the reigns, but all she can find that matches her skills is a janitorial job in the Federal reserve bank where she quickly hatches a scheme to rob the place. After noticing they use locks just like the ones you get at any Home Depot on the carts that carry “Worn out” money that is to be shredded, she drags Queen L into the scheme and later entices Katie H as well. From there its a fun romp through the robbing, almost getting caught, more drama… finally getting caught and then … well, you’ll see..

VERY CUTE!

Marie Antoinette – Eat Cake!



Current mood:  cheerful
Category: Life

So one of my fave movies right now is Marie-Antoinette – I have been listening to the Sound Track Non-Stop!  J’adore the “I Love Candy” sequence, because every now and then, i just want clothes, shoes, Jewlery and tons of fatty little cakes and champagne…  without those days we will shrivel up and die… or at least i do…


My work is insane… i have been in the office till 9 or 10pm most nights, when i am not, i am working from home till 2am… Tonight I had to go home sick from stress and fatigue at about 5:30pm (usually that is about 1/2 way through my day) I got home and slept till about 7pm – when I woke up, Moulin Rouge was on tv and i had just been dreaming about Amelie…
I put on my MA soundtrack.. pushed away the lap top and threw all my pillows on the floor, served myself flowering japanese tea on a glass tray with chocolate covered candided orange peels and then followed it up with a small bottle of Sofia Champagne and fresh mango slices with crystal sugar sprinkled all over them…
Just now I lined up my shoes in a row and organized my jewlery… discovered that i have way too much of it…  i gave Pearl (my kitten) some whip cream, she needed a break too…
then i watched The Riches (my new fave tv show- Eddie Izzard, wow… quite a change)… anyway, somedays you need a fix.. whatever your fix is.. treat yourself to it before you are sent home sick.. keep yourself happy…  no one else will do that for you…
I started a new screenplay tonight… i think my creativity is most comfortable in the throws of indulgence…  those candied orange peels were amazingbr>
One thing i know is that even Marie sought out peace and traquility away from the stress and pomp of Versaille.. when i visited Versaille, i was most impressed with her little cottage sanctuary and her music room… as a woman in a world where it really sucks to be a woman.. sometimes finding fulfillment is a moment to moment process… i have alot of friends who seem to think that getting a man is the main goal of life… from what i have seen, it seems like you shouldnt get a man unless you are ready to add even more stress to your life… not that men are all bad, they have their place in life too.. but i think unless you are totally happy and fulfilled and joyous in yourself and your own life, a man is just a complication one can do without… that being said.. a cutey patootee now and then is always a nice addition to cakes and shoes and champagne… and the daily work out (which oddly, i find i enjoy too – i DO mean exercise..)

Think of ways to pamper your brain, your soul, your body, your spirit… and be well. :)


Currently listening:
Marie Antoinette
By Original Soundtrack
Release date: 10 October, 2006

I Love Rock N Roll



Category: Life

So I am SO LOVING Karaoke!

When I got to Conference, we met up with some peeps over at the Karaoke Bar in The Swan. I didn’t really think I wanted to get up and sing. I was just having a Pomegranitini and chillin’ – Then Susan chose “Love Shack” one of my fave songs to sing along with and put in the ticket to sing it. When the time came, she chickened out – so I had to go up in her place. After getting acclimated to the funky prompter, I found that i really LOVED it! Lawrence, a Branch Manager from California jumped up on stage with me and sang the guys part. It was so much fun. I did Karma from Alicia Keys, and Baby Got Back…

I liked the karaoke rush so much, i drug Carmen, Brenda, Michael and Charlyne back there another night and we sang a bunch. Brenda and Charlyne seem to know all the old songs. They sang Copacabanna and New York, New York,… then the DJ made up sing “If I could Turn Back Time!” which NONE of us knew…

Carmen and I sang “Material Girl & You’re So Vain” which was fun, but the best part of the night was Michael singing “People Are Strange” from The Doors!

At the end of the night everyone left sang Joan Jett “I Love Rock N Roll” and that was super hot!

We totally Rocked!

We were having Hot Sake too… I have to find the Karaoke Bar here in Charlotte…  American Idol here I come!
