I like him, so kill me…
I’ve been receiving a bunch of messages from a friend in Colombia where our current president, Alvaro Uribe, is blasted and it makes my blood boil. I should just tell her I don’t appreciate them, I like the man, I think he’s done good things under his mandate and trying to solve all the problems of a country like mine is a gigantic task. That’s why he’s going for re-election and according to the polls, he’s gonna make it. I’ll be glad to see him in the Casa de Nariño for 4 more years.
There, I said it. That’s why politics are so complicated. We all have our opinion.
More than pot!
When someone refers to Colombia as the world’s # 1 pot exporter, that just touches a nerve. I don’t deny the reality of my country, but we’re so much more than that. If people actually took the time to learn something, they would realize they wish they lived there.
From Lonely Planet: “Vibrant cities with streaking metros and soaring skyscrapers. Elegant port towns cut by cobbled alleys and bougainvillea shrouded balconies. Spectacular national parks ranging from Garden-of-Eden-tropical to heavenly-high-alpine. Cruise boats, party buses, late night salsa dancing and shopping glory. Check the cover again, yes, this is Colombia.”
Later.
To be marked
I woke up to a wonderful news: One of my best friends in Colombia is having a baby, her first baby. I’m going to be an auntie, yippeee!!! I couldn’t be happier, she’s like a sister, the kind of friend who’d drive hours or take the bus just so she can say hello to me, the kind of friend I know I’ll always count on. I’m such a sap, crying… out of happiness. God bless her and her growing family.
Rewind (Stereophonics)
It’s your time
It’s your day
It’s never too late
To change lanes
How’s your life?
How’s your place?
Was it where you wanted
Your head to lay?
But wait, you can breathe
You can see what I can see
Don’t waste your time
You can’t make back
If you could rewind your time
Would you change your life?
Do you like you?
Do you love your wife?
Or did you pick what
You’re told was right?
Dream and be
What you feel
Don’t you compromise
What you wanna be
‘Cause change is okay
What’s the point in staying the same
Regrets, forget what’s dead and gone
If you could rewind your time
Would you change your life?
If Jesus rode in on a camel today
With your cross on his shoulder
Time to take you away
Have you done all you wanted?
Are you happy and warm?
Do you miss someone special
You don’t see anymore?
Have you blood on your hands?
Do you dream of white sands?
Can you sleep well at night?
Have you done all you can?
The place I was born in
Stays crooked and straight
I see innocent blue eyes
Go blind everyday
Rewind your time
Would you change your life
Today?
