About Me

Chica latina married to a sexy Texan cowboy, enjoying life in Atlanta, GA - the land of Ray Charles and Martin Luther King. No kids yet (ask me 9 months from now). Occupation: shower singing diva, personal chef, BATMA cheerleader, and I do a bit of commercial real estate on the side (say from 9 to 5).

My Interests

Art, politics, real estate, traveling, music, the insanity of the stock market, and the fabulous people this world is filled with. The latest addition to my list of interests: The awesomely breathtaking Atlanta Thrashers. Go Blueland!

I'd like to meet:

People from all over the world! If you're in this world and you can type, you're my kinda person! ;)

Music:

Right this minute I'm all into Jamie Cullum, Getz/Gilberto, and Edith Piaf, but my one true love is Dino (Will-you-marry-me-Mr.-Martin, can't-live-without-you kind of love). That's not to say I don't enjoy more contemporary music: Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, Santana, Heather Headley, Aterciopelados, Capsule... my MP3 player is filled with their music.My favorite song ever: Grazing in the grass (better than a spa treatment good).

Movies:

Something's gotta give, The Holiday, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Plus: The Mouline Rouge, Singing in the Rain, The Sound of Music, and Citizen Kane.

Television:

Whose line is it anyways? (The American Version), The golden girls, Reba, This Old House... and Sex & the City.

Books:

The essentials: Jane Austen, Alejandro Dolina, Pablo Neruda, and my dearest Don Cervantes. I also like Dr. Savage's books (I'm so politically incorrect for saying that, but it's true).

Heroes:

Mr. Dale Chihuly. He's fascinating.

Space Pool and The City

I was a huge fan of Candance Bushnell back in 2005. H U G E, huge. This lasted three full months and then I grew out of it overnight. Some times I regret downgrading her from semi-deity...

The man who dared read Eve’s Diary

I sent Eve's Diary to a friend tonight. I hope he'll dare read it, and I hope it will touch him in the same way it's touched me. Mark Twain wrote this right after his wife died. The ending is so very...

CNN does it again...

I kid you not people, today they were playing "Britney's meltdown" and "Hillary's meltdown" back to back. Is that a subliminal message or am I reading too much into it?
