Ok, so this is not who I'd like to meet, but it is an awesome quote from 100 Years of Solitude for those of you who speak Spanish:Que el pasado era mentira, que la memoria no tenÃa caminos de regreso, que toda primavera antigua era irrecuperable, y que el amor más desatinado y tenaz era de todos modos una verdad efÃmera ---Gabriel Garcia Marquez And, here goes my very weak translation, it's almost embarrassing:That the past was a lie, that memory had no path of return, that every ancient spring was unrecoverable, and that even the wildest and most tenacious love was nothing but an ephemeral truth.
I am eclectic, all kinds for all occasions: hip hop, funk, r&b, reggae, classic jazz, some country here and there, lots of salsa and merengue, banda, nortena, MARIACHI!!, samba, rock, rock en espanol, ballads, and even some pop, soundtrakcs, especially to broadway shows and musicals, some emo, alternative classics like Alanis, and much much more . . .
