Today I had my first Spanish class. It went very well. It's just the teacher and I which I love and she couldn't be nicer. She knows English but talks to me only in Spanish. The things I learned in Reina's class at Northwest are coming back to me and I think with three classes a week for an hour and a half for 20 hours in total, I will be doing pretty well if I keep studying.
Joan is at work and should be sending me emails to send out etc at some point today.
I need to finish painting the guest room and finish laundry. I also want to organize our closet and finish The Shadow Of The Wind. In one day I finished Mitch Albom's, For One More Day. It's a great read.
Also for you fans of cultural music, you must check out Marco Masini, he sings a wonderfully beautiful song called, Bella Idiota or Beautiful Idiot. It is Italian and about a man whose girlfriend leaves him for another man he is so angry with her because she broke his heart. You may not understand everything he is saying but you can hear him getting angrier as the song goes on. Here are the lyrics:
Bella idiota,
por tu culpa he traicionado a la mujer que me ha querido,
me he liado a puñetazos contra mi mejor amigo,
y ahora que he tocado fondo,
tu me dices sonriendo sobra y basta.
Bella idiota,
dejas verte dando vueltas del hotel al restaurante
con el culo en el ferrari de un imbecil arrogante ,
sin pensar que el millonario
hasta a los sentimientos pone un precio,
el desprecio.
Por amarte demasiado tu me ignoras,
bella idiota me sonries y me odias.
Mas si Dios te hizo mas bella que los cielos y los mares
dime por qué te revelas de quién tratas de vengarte.
Mas si Dios te hizo tan bella como el sol, como la luna
por qué no escapamos juntos de este mundo mal oliente que me abruma.
Mas si Dios te hizo mas bella que una rama de cerezo
si amas como la carcoma cometiendo un sacrilegio
cada vez que te desnudas sin sentir el hielo dentro,
cuando el paga la cuenta nunca sientes la verguenza del silencio.
Porque eres bella, bella, bella, bella idiota
que llamaste anoche hasta la policia
y que me llevaran preso les pedías
sólo porque habia perdido la paciencia, la esperanza.
Bella idiota
Te recuerdo, cuando con mi primer sueldo te compre aquella pulsera
se te iluminó la cara, yo te dije eres mi estrella
los ataques repentinos que teniamos de sexo y de ternura,
bella y dura, si.
Por amarte demasiado tu me ignoras
bella idiota, me sonries y me odias.
Mas si Dios te hizo mas bella que los cielos y los mares
dime por qué te revelas de quién tratas de vengarte.
Mas si Dios te hizo tan bella como el sol, como la luna
Por qué no eres más persona
me conformo como un perro con las sobras.
Por que eres bella, bella, bella
mi intención es arrancarte esa ropa de ramera
y metido entre tus piernas destrozar la noche entera
mas de nuestro amor tan tierno todo entrega e inociencia
solo quedaría entonces un largisimo minuto de violencia.
Por eso me despido...
Bella idiota... Ey...
He is just so passionate you can't help by laugh and love this song. His video on YouTube is a bit corny so just listen to the song so it doesn't ruin it for you.
All for now.
Much love,
C.M. xoxo
