Little Women.

Haven´t you ever read a book to please someone and end up loving it???Well, I have, I have read a few, but actually the one that deserves a post is Little Women.

I read it after my godmother gave it to me one Christmas, it is actually one of her favorites books. I was nine and it was the first actual novel i read by myself; And I loved it.

Of course as it was the first novel I read all by myself I read it slowly, but I finished. I would take it everywhere with me so if I had the chance I would read it, in school I just waited for a teacher to be late or to give us a free time or reading time -I hadn´t mastered the art of reading under the desk, I do it frequently now and I have´t been caught once!

So let me tell you why I love it. Little woman is not the tipicall romatic novel that it´s all about a gorl falling in love, no it´s about friendship and family bonds; growing up and social pressure. I think it is the only book in which I don´t like a cannon couple, I would´ve loved if Laurie and Jo ended up together. and talking about Jo, she´s of course my favorite character she´s all I want to be and I´m like her in personality and have curly hair, so yeah....

I don´t have sisters, only brothers and reading about a house full of only women is like a so different, but is nice to read something different. of course I fell for Laurie, like man of the girls who read the book.

So who´s your favorite character? Tell me about what you like of it?

By the Sea Mr. T oh! I know you´d love it.!

Ok, so, this is the third time I try to write a post. I was reading My Wonderland´s blog -Go chek it out is awesome- and she said that she almost googled "Cool thigs to post about" or something like that and that gave me an idea. Yes I googled it, didn't find anything -depressing I know.... So I decided to give up and wait for inspiration to strike.
So I went to the beach, and inspiration struck. I decided to post about the place whre I have been going since I was 2 weeks old, and that is such a big part of my life. It had been almost a year since I went there and I had forgotten how much I loved it. So I´m going to let you know a little bit more about my life and let you know why I love it so much.
The beach is the place where I have been going every summer that I can remember, it´s part of my life. I learned to ride a bike, I met one of my best friends, broke 3 fingers….. Don´t you just love to be able to walk around shoeless, the smell and sound of the sea? I love to be able to do nothing all day, I love to sit and read by the sea, I love so many stuffs.
Even though I love the beach I do not like to go when there´s too many people, I like feeling like if the beach is mine and I can do whatever I want with my friends. But anyways the beach is the beach, that little part of my life which is full of fond memories……. That sounded cheesy!
Happy Christmast!!!!!!!!
I know is short but……

New blog title..... I owe you an explination

Today I realized that my title had something in it or rather didn´t had; it didn´t have this charming blog title, it was a pen name; and I decided to that I was going to change it and I did as you can see.

I decided to Change it to "Wonders of a City Gypsy" because:
1- I like it
2-it has two meanings, first meaning: What do Gypsies do? they dance, they tell you your future, read your palm....But basically they wonder around, they are universal and eternal wonder-ers. So "Wonders of a City Gypsy" as in a gypsy wondering around.
Second meaning: Wonder as in "I wonder if...." that explain the whole lot. So "Wonders of a City Gypsy" as in "Thoughts of a City Gypsy"

I know it´s short, but I just wanted to explain.

The Beatles

Greatest band in the history of music -there is not doubt about that- their music has influenced almost every band in the present, and I don´t know the first person who does not like their music. You know? I think they´re the band that after the break up earns more money.

My ad learnt to play the guitar to play Here Comes the Sun -So did I, But I´m not good enough to play more than the intro yet. And Hey Jude! has the most touching background, Paul McCartney wrote the song for John Lennon´s son, Julian ,when John Lennon and Cynthia Powell divorced.

My older brother told me that the music records with who they first singed didn´t want to sing them in because "bands with instruments were dying" - Yeah right!- and Vl -my friend remember he form the Venezuela post?- told me that they singed them in because they were cute, when I told this to my dad he said "Ringo Starr, cute? he was a nose with hair!" I of course laughed out loud and then he remembered that Ringo Starr joined the Beatles after they had signed with the music records.

I love and thank all the Beatles for the art, but my favorite Beatle is Paul McCartney, he is I think a good man, and one if not the best musicians in history, Yesterday - which he wrote- is the song that has most covers in history. Wikipedia says that he´s the most successful songwriter in history. and he seems like a lovely rock ´n roll grandpa -it would be awesome to be one of his grand children or children, imagine saying to the teacher or to a friend "my daddy -or grandpa which ever you chose- is Paul McCartney!".

I totally, utterly hate Yoko Ono, John Lennon´s wife, she´s blamed for the break up of the Beatles -That´s reason enough to put her on the top 3 of my hate list- The Beatles break up is with Henry VII and Caterina of Aragon´s is the most world changing break up in history. Yesterday my mom, dad, older brother and I were talking about them and my dad was not sure if Yoko Ono worked for Apple Corps -Which belongs to the Beatles- and my mom was like "No, if she worked for that record I think that the other 3 Beatles would have died" even my grandma hates her!

But in the end The Beatles changed my world and I don´t know what music would be without them, they have so much influence upon the world that my computer dictionary came with the world Beatles included!

So I want to Finish this post saying Thank you Paul, Ringo -love your name, George- did you know that the guy that invented the portable clock was named just like him "George Harrison"- and John for everything the music the art the conversations themes, for inspiring me to learn to play the guitar, for everything.

Personally I love this picture they look so natural!

They were English men the had to drink tea!

Pillow fight!!!!!!

Hello America!!!

What does it says?!

I don´t know why I love the way they´re dressed here!

Classics

Brick by Boring Brick

First of all, I love the name of the song, is just plain awesome; and even though is not my favouritesong in the album (Brand New Eyes by Paramore)-my favorite is Looking up- is definitely between the to five. The lyrics to this song have this touch of darkens and is very, very metaphoric, but it delivers the message perfectly, and the guitar is awesome too.

The video is great it has this Tim-Burton-ish kind of style -you know like a mix between a fairy tale and the most creepy thing ever- and the viseo is as metaphoric as the song just that a little harder to comprehend- If your curious you can search it on wikipedia.

So I thanks Hayley Williams, Josh and Zac Farro; Jeremy Davis and Taylor York for the music, the entrtaiment, the art......

Like aparently I need to download the video to post this on this post- I leave you with some pictures.... The artwork of the songimages of Hayley Williams in the video

Lead Guitarrist Josh Farro in the making of the video
I LOVE him
Hayley Williams and the little girl from the video
They do look alike, don´t they?

Venezuela

Venezuela, my wonderful country -Yes it is a wonderful country. Land of beautiful women, cachapa, tequeño, arepa and the worlds chama and chamo, chevere guachafita. 2009´s happiest country in the world, the only place in the world were gas is cheaper than water.

One of my best friends - let´s call her Vl- Vl´s grandparents moved here during the Spanish civil war because this was the greatest places in the world. Oscar de La Renta made a dress just for us. Carolina Herrera and Angel Zánchez are Venezuelans and they are pretty successful, Raja the Indian dude/chamo is from Venezuela not from India - Sorry for destroying your believe-. Here in Venezuela absolutely every typical or not so typical music is danceable.

Simon Bolivar a super short Venezuelan who liberated almost every country in America - yeah Venezuela is part of America - and Francisco de Miranda he´s in Arc de Triomphe in France. Venezuela´s Cacao is main reason of chocolate in the world. And believe it or not we do not go around wearing Ponchos those were the Timotocuicas in Los Andes, and not everybody likes our president including me.

In Venezuela kids are politically maturer than U.S.A kids, Persnally I´ve been to over 5 protest.

But Venezuela is also the home of the largest waterfall in the world, you know the movie Up that movie is placed in Venezuela´s Auyantepui if you look closely into the plane tickets they clearly say Venezuela.

Dior´s 2cond store was opened here, Natalie Portman dated a Joropo singer, and we put kids to sleep with the National Athem and we are the only country to call banana cambur. As I said before Venezuela is the land of beautiful women, and it is the only country to crown itself in the Miss Univerese.

So like Christmast is coming I would like to talk a bit about venezuelan´s Christmast, we eat Hayaca and gather with the whole family and sing aguinaldos and parrandas and Gaitas.

So if you ever com to Venezuela try a Cachapa, a arepa the tequeños, listen to it´s music.

Sorry I was thinking of posting some photos but the erased and I´m too lazy to look for them again T.T

Lets talk about Shakespeare......

William Shakespeare, writer of the oh so known Romeo & Juliette, The Taming of the Shrew and so many others; Known for being one of the fathers of literature in all languages, he and his work has inspired so many novels, tales, poems, even movies ; he was an artist, the whole world knows him and his work. The language day is his and Miguel de Cervantes death date -Don´t you think is kind of a creepy causality that two of the greatest writters in all history died the exact same day?.

But for some reason I don´t like much his work, Romeo and Juliette and The Taming of the Shrew are two of the plays I hate the most -Don´t get me wrong, I said it before he was an artist and no one can denie that. So I´ll explain why I hate two of the most loved literature works of the world.

Romeo and Juliette, Romeo is kind of brainless -and Juliette too.

1) if you love the girl and she loves you back go tell your parents and thier feud with the other family to go to hell and marry.
2) Do not kill her cousin, it will just make the feud worst.
3) like you´re an idiot an you´ve killed her cousin you are exhiled, Don´t go away alone if you married her take her with you, outside of the twon nobody will care who you are and if you love her and she loves you back you shouldn´t care about what other people think anyways.
4) If your parents come and tell you you have to marry this guy you don´t really know (even though you already did it) nor really like, I repeat: tell them to go to hell you don´t want to marry him, instead of making this super complicated plan about making people believe that you´e dead.
5) Make sure the message is delivered clearly and that it was the message you wanted him to konw.


The Tamimg of the Srhew, Katherina is stupid and Petruchio an Idiot:

1) Katherine if you hate the freaking guy, don´t marry him and tell him and you father to go to hell.
2) if his tells you that is night even thoug is day and that that man is a woman, tell him his wrong, stand up for yousrself a little.
3) Do not marry for money.
4) Petruchio, dear ,get over it your wife has a mind of her own.

What do you think? Do you share my opinion or do you think that I´m heartless and a salvage?

Ps. I´m not trying to change your opinion about this two plays if you like them I have no problem with it and you shouldn´t let what I think change what you think. Free expresion and Free thinking is escencial.

Musicals musicals musicals.......don´t you just love them

I´m love music, I´ve grown up surrounded by it my dad plays the guitar and considers that every kid should learn to read a pentagram when they learn to read, my mom loves music and loves to dance, all of my cousins have a musical talent exept for two and I have over 11 cousins ,my uncle absolutly adores musicals a passion that I share, I love musicals even thoug I have just seen one live the rest on dvd or on youtube -believe if you havn´t seen a musical live you should- My favorite musicals are:


Sweeney Todd:
I actually find it kind of cute, Sweeney lost the two persons he loved most to the same man, he loves Lucy and Johanna; and Mrs. Lovett is just hopelessly romantic and has the most weird motherly instinct that I´ve ever seen; and the music is just great, because "every murdered is cool if the music is catchy!" Favorite song of this musical: Johanna reprise, Worst pies in London and Little priest- I just can´t decide.


The phantom of the opera:
Love the plot, LOVE the music. I´m so exited that I´m going to see this musical live in Crhistmast!!!!!! Favorite song: Mascarade and the point of no return.

Les miserable:
An ispiring plot, lovely love story, awsome figthing for freedom people, what more can I say. The music is just plain exelent.
Favorite song: Little people, Castle on a cloud, On my own, one day more.



Chess:

Never seen teh whole musical but I know the plot and love the music. I saw the concert on dvd with my uncle and I just wish I could see the musical. Favorite side: Nobody´s side.
Wicked:
I just plain hate The Wizard of Oz, but for some reason I just love Wicked, love who she makes her way trough live even though everybody hates her, Love the music and hate my cousin- don´t get me wrong i love her but she´s all like "I have no money, but last weekend I went to see Wicked" and then I found out that she has seen it like 3 or more time one she bougt the ticked herself, the other she has this really sweet frined whom gave her his ticked and the other one my musical-lover-uncle wnet to see it with her and he just gave her the ticked as a present.
Favourite song: Dancing trough live and defiying gravity.
