I'm going to miss the Julieta Venegas concert, but I'll be in Spain. I can't help but still be sad :

About Me

I would describe myself as a down to earth girl. I'm not pretentious. I grew up in South Chicago. There is no such thing as pretentious in South Chicago. Some of my friends grew up with me too, and they've managed to become intelligent, cultured, nice, but fiesty young women and I consider myself to be the same. When I am with them I love to go to concerts, get my buzz on or maybe hang out when we all get lazy. I tend to make my friends laugh with my philosophy on love and life. I am like the Mexican version of Carrie Bradshaw. I could have my own column I swear. I have a boyfriend that has proven some of my theories wrong on guys. He saved me from becoming a lesbian or pursuing a mission to Mars to search for better boyfriend options.

My Interests

I enjoy cooking, independent or foreign films and traveling. I also love learning about new things, writing blogs and analyzing my dreams (I have the weirdest dreams). I love anything tropical like mojitos, coconut, the beach and the sun. I love music and singing in my car. I love cultural things, especially anything from Mexico or any other part of Latin America.

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet people who have similar interest: people who like to go to concerts, read books, and especially people that like Spanish pop or alternative music.


.. ..

Music:

Love Spanish rock and pop. I love Maria Daniela y Su Sonido Lasser, Julieta Venegas, Gloria Trevi, La Oreja de Van Gogh and Shakira(powerful/intuitive women)or some funky guy bands like Babasonicos, Plastilina Mosh or Cafe Tacuba. I also love oldies como Leo Dan y Alberto Vaszquez. And when I need some music to accompany my sad mood: Alicia Villareal, Lila Downs, Selena or any other chick that can sing a heartfelt maricahi song!

Movies:

Frida, Pans Labyrinth, , Like Water for Chocolate, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind, The Corpse's Bride,Volver, My Fair Lady, , Clueless, Marie Antoinette, The Little Mermaid, The Postman...that is all I can remember

Television:

Bad Girls Club, Sex and the City, Everybody loves Raymond, Desperate Housewives, Operah and everything on the Food Network, HGTV, Discovery Health and the History channel.

Books:

So far my favorites are 11 Minutes, Loving Pedro Infante, Daughter of Fortune, Memoirs of a Geisha, Caramelo and Los anos con Laura Diaz. I totally recomend them all.

Heroes:

Wonder Woman because she is a girl super hero and Linda Carter is half Hispanic. Frida Kahlo because she is a great painter. Her paintings are great, they are personal and have a lot of emotion. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz: Poet, nun and the first feminist in America and great poet. Finally, I love Gloria Trevi too. Gloria Trevi has written a song for every part of my life. NO ONE in the World sings and writes with such passion. Many say that all my heroes have something in common: They all lived tragic lives. They cope through life with art. That is why I love them. They are strong, talented, and so so passionate!

Silverio

So I forgot to mention that Silverio (DJ from Mexico) performed at the concert as well. At first I was indifferent because I had never heard of him and I was so excited about Maria Daniela that I just...
