My Songs

Although I really don't play any musical instruments even though I've tried I can still say that I and my whole family for that matter are very musical. A lot of what we do revolves around music. We love to dance and we love to sing. My brother is an awesome DJ my dad used to sing the masses when he was young, my sister is the church choir director.

That's why when Mr Manuel of Manuel's View shared this link I just had to try it. The link is for "The Number 1 Song This Day On History". Here you can enter a date and it will tell you which song was number one at that time.

Turns out that when I was born the number 1 song of the day was "Sleep Walk" by Santo & Johnny. I must admit, I have heard this song thousands of times and I never knew the name until today. I had to youtube it to hear which one it was. I can tell you right now that I have slow dance that song with my chica many times. Next time we dance this song I'll be able to tell her in her ear, "Yo baby, that was the numero uno song when I was born".


When mi chica and I married "Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do)" by Christopher Cross was the number one song. Funny because the movies were about a rich wino, but I always liked the song. The song said, "The best that you can do is fall in love" that's why on that month I got married.


But if my math is correct, the number one song when I was conceived back in 1958 was... drum roll pleaseeeeeee! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. "The Chipmunk Song" by David Seville and the Chipmunks. He, he, he, you think my parents were rockin' to that song thinking it was romantic, y saz, nine months later there I come, here I am, here I am?



So there you have it. I didn't do one for when I graduated because I forgot which month I graduated in.

Try it, to see what was rocking during your time.

Nothing Really

Well what do you know, I got offered free tickets to go see the Cardinals play and I declined on the count that the game had already started and I had to still take a shower and get presentable. The stadium is only about 10 minutes away from me but I felt lazy to hustle. Anyway, we saw them on TV and they won. See, no matter what I am a Cardinal fan, they are my home town team and I support them, needles to say I am happy when they win and this was probably their best season in years.

However, I am going to take a minute to congratulate my dear friend Erin, her team went undefeated and I know she is partying her butt out. She is a fan and only God knows when she'll stop celebrating.

Mi chica open this bottle of wine and didn't even drink a glass, so I am going to finish it all by myself, I am almost done with it and don't even feel like I been drinking, I think just one more glass and it will be gone, so since I can't put the cork back on I think I'll just finish it.

Last night we rented some movies, as a rule we get an action flick and a chick flick to kindda balance things out, we rented Rocky Balboa and Songs & Lyrics. They were both OK movies, I knew they were not block busters or anything like that but mi chica and I were pretty surprised that they were actually both good. When I heard they were doing another Rocky movie I said "Why?" but the movie was actually a nice movie to watch with mi chica. At the end we both had sweaty hands during the fight, yeah right like if it was true. That's the power of movies.

Anyway, I am having a four day weekend because of the holidays and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Rest, rest, and more rest is in my agenda.
