A former latin american exile writes about life..

Ok so I gave up a comfy boring life to go live in South America. Lots have suggested that I write about my experiences, so here it finally is.

US TV star crap I usually don't buy into but this is FUNNY

I find Sarah Silverman's humor quite funny. Her TV show, not so much. It had potential.

But these two gems from youtube... holy crap. The first one is safe for work with headphones, the second is not safe for work at all. I usually don't follow who's supposedly dating who in Hollywood - other than to marvel at how LA County seems to have a whole different set of laws that apply to celebrities. They get away with murder. Right, OJ?



And the response...

Today's, er, anthem

Lyrics are to Heather Small's "proud." The Josh Harris Pride Remix is preferred. Faster beat and the first few seconds are really attention-getting.

The can't stop me now and you can do the same part really sort of resonates with me. Have made some big changes in my life in the last 60 days or so and have definitely stepped out of the ordinary and (I hope) into another phase of life. Blablabla :)

Lyrics below

I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

Just can't get enough - until its a TV ad

DAMN do I feel old. When a compilation of Depeche Mode music videos from the late 80's/early 90's is advertised on the HISTORY CHANNEL... that sucks. I have never bought anything from TV and have never been so damn tempted.
