Video of the Day: Quitame Ese Hombre

Ah, I've been so tired lately. I've been burning the candle at both ends. Maybe even trying to burn the sucker in the middle. There's wax all over the place. Okay, maybe not, but I'm tired. :) Things will be alright by Monday, though. By then I'll have a chance to rest a bit... and then I can start tackling the yard work that is getting worse and worse by the day. Woohoo!

Anyhow, I was listening to the radio today and this song came up. I used to love it back in the day. I never really understood it until now, though. Sigh. No comment. lol...

Anyhow, there's no particular reason for me putting the video on here, is there? Nope. Not at all. Except perhaps for the fact that Ms. Montenegro in a bikini is the perfect inspiration for me to continue my diet. Not, of course, that I've got a chance in heck of ever looking like Pilar Montenegro, but still. I don't want to look like her anyway. I want to look like myself. Just better. :) So... here 'tis. Enjoy!!



Quitame el recuerdo que me dejo,
quitame el vestido destrozalo,
bajame del cielo donde me llevo,
bajame y de nuevo subeme
hasta el sol.

Quitame esa idea de serle fiel,
quitame el deseo de estar con el,
dejame en la mente ganas
de volver a verte.

CORO
Quitame ese hombre del corazon,
quita de mi cuerpo su sensacion,
anda quitalo tu, anda quitalo tu.
Borra con tus labios lo que el beso,
llega donde nadie jamas llego,
anda intentalo tu, anda intentalo tu.

Quitame la venda que me cego,
quitame de golpe esta obsesion,
siempre queda espacio para un
nuevo amor, siempre si el que
llega es muy superior.

Quitame esa idea de serle fiel,
quitame el deseo de estar con el,
dejame en la mente ganas
de volver a verte.

CORO
Quitame ese hombre del corazon,
quita de mi cuerpo su sensacion,
anda quitalo tu, anda quitalo tu.
Borra con tus labios lo que el beso,
llega donde nadie jamas llego,
anda intentalo tu, anda intentalo tu.

Video of the Day: Hot n' Cold

Okay, okay. I know that Katy Perry does this song. However... Bowling for Soup totally rocks it. I can't wait until they hit Richardson in a few weeks. In the meantime, here's this. Enjoy. :)



You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you PMS like a b*tch
I would know

And you always think
Always speak cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

We used to be just like twins, so in sync
The same energy now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
I should know
That you're not gonna change

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar
Stuck on a rollercoaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down, down, down, down...

Video of the Day: Me Voy

Imagine getting up the nerve to tell someone what this song conveys... and then the person responds with, "Okay. I'll talk to you later." It's like, huh?? Did you not listen to what I just said? lol. Okay, whatever. De todos modos, me voy. It's up to your schizophrenic self si me sigues o no.




Porque no supiste entender a mi corazón
lo que había en el porque no tuviste el valor de ver quien soy
porque no escuchas lo que esta tan cerca de ti
sólo el ruido de afuera y yo
que estoy a un lado desaparezco para ti

No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lastima pero adios
me despido de ti y me voy
que lastima pero adios me despedio de ti

Porque se que me espera algo mejor
alguien que sepa darme amor
de ese que endulza la sal y hace que salga el sol
yo que pense nunca me iría de ti
que es amor del bueno de toda la vida
pero hoy entendí que no hay suficiente para los dos

No voy a llorar y decir que no merezco esto
porque es probable que lo merezco pero no lo quiero
por eso me voy que lastima pero adios
me despido de ti y me voy
que lastima pero adios me despedio de ti

Me voy que lastima pero adios
me despido de ti y me voy
que lastima pero adios
me despido de ti y me voy
que lastima pero adios
me despido de ti
me voy
que lastima pero adios
me despido de ti
me voy

Video of the Day: Mirando Las Estrellas

Okay, this isn't actually *my* video of the day. Someone dedicated it to me last night. So it's actually someone else's video of the day. Or maybe someone else's video of yesterday? Whatever.

Anyhow, when I Youtubed it to give it a listen I found this really sweet video that a guy did for his (former) girl. Hopefully she reconsidered and returned to him. It's obvious he put a lot of thought into the video. Maybe they're together even now. I hope so. Regardless, here's the vid. The song is by Banda San Jose de Mesillas. Enjoy.



Esta noche quiero decirte cuanto te amo
que ya no puedo callar lo que siento por ti
quiero gritar al mundo cuanto cuanto te amo
quiero escuchar de tus labios que tu tambien me amas a mi.

Ya no soporto estar un dia mas sin ti
pues sin tus besos no consivo la razon
paso las noches nomas mirando las estrellas
y preguntando a la luna si volveras.

Todavia esta en mi cama tu aroma
a donde quiera que voy en mi mente estas tu
esta pasion que llevo en el alma me esta quemando
te necesito cariño regresa y vuelve a mi.

Ya no soporto estar un dia mas sin ti
pues sin tus besos no consivo la razon
paso las noches nomas mirando las estrellas
y preguntando a la luna si volveras.

Video of the Day: Healing

I was driving to work this morning and listening to my trusty brick-sized mp3 player. Then this song came on. Kelly Price singing Healing. I don't think I'd even heard the whole thing before today. I've probably had it on the mp3 for a while and skipped over it every time it came on because it might have been a bit too gospelly. This time, however, I listened. And then listened. And listened again. I've listened to this song several times today. It's like Kelly is sending a special message to God just for me. So I sing with her. So that He can hear me... and heal me.



[Chorus:]
I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul.

I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul,
just for my soul, I need healing.

(Lord, I'm looking for a new life),
(it's just for my soul),
just for my soul, I need healing.

('Cause I'm tired of crying all night),
(just for my soul),
just for my soul, I need healing.

[Verse 1:]
Lord, I need Thee, oh I need Thee,
to take away this pain and misery,
'cause God, I just can't do this by myself,
I need help, Lord.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Lord, I've made some terrible mistakes,
gave my body and my soul away.
Now I come to You 'cause I need to be whole,
heal my soul, Lord.

[Chorus 2:]
I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul.

I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul,
(just for my soul, I need healing).

I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul.

I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul,
(just for my soul...)

[Bridge:]
I need healing for me, that's what I need.
I've been brokenhearted, torn apart,
but Lord, I know that if I only trust You,
You'll exchange my issues for Your virtue.

I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul.

I need a healing for my soul,
give me a healing for my soul,
(just for my soul...)

[Vamp:]
I need a healing for my soul,
so give me a healing for my soul.

I need a healing for my soul,
so give me a healing for my soul.

Video of the Day: Need You Now

Ever since the first time I heard it, I've felt a special something for Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. Not only is it beautiful, it totally describes the way I've felt sometimes. Needing that special someone and wanting to call even though I've promised myself I wouldn't. How funny is it then that now *I* am that special someone who gets late night calls from (an inebriated) someone who is trying to move on without me? Is that gratifying? Not at all. It's kind of sad, really. But it gives me hope... and the song is still wonderful. Click on the link and enjoy. :)



Picture perfect memories,
Scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can’t fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door.
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk,
And I need you now.
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn’t call but I’m a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

Free eBook: All the Pretty Girls

For all you e-readers out there, J.T. Ellison is currently offering free downloads of "All the Pretty Girls" at eHarlequin. It looks like a pretty good book. There's a synopsis of the story on the website.

When you download it, you're offered three different versions:
Adobe PDF eBook
Microsoft eBook
Mobipocket eBook

At 1682 KB, the Adobe is the largest file and you have to download Adobe Digital Editions in order to view the book. However... after you've downloaded the software, the Adobe website offers even more free ebooks! Yup, baby. The motherlode. If not that, it's at least a few freebies that you might enjoy, even Sophie Kinsella!

I would totally do this if my laptop was in commission... but it's been on vacation since late last year. Sigh. It looks like mama might just have to buy a new one. :) lol. In the meantime, go out and get this freebie and tell me what you think.
