Vive la différence

Swamped in work and still at a very uncertain period of my life in all fronts so I really haven’t had a chance to do much writing. Well, that’s not actually accurate. I have done a crap load of writing, just not for this blog.

Plus I’m always very busy having 533 conversations with myself.

From the ADHD – Tales of an Absent-Minded Superhero FB Page. If you haven’t visited that page, you must do so as soon as you’re done reading my post, yo!

Did you know I keep three blogs and write for another three? And that’s not even counting Tumblr.

It runs in the family

Talent and beauty run deep in the family, it would seem.

Here’s a picture of my cousin (the young woman) doing the routine that earned her and her partner a spot in the 5th Colombia Salsa Festival.

Pretty cool.

Congrats, cousin!

Good to see that mental illness is not the only thing that runs deep in the family.

Today, I didn’t buy Swing music *gasp*

I got an iTunes gift card.

For the first time in, oh, I don’t know, ever, I bought music in Spanish. Nothing to do with Lindy Hop, Blues or Black Gospel.

I got music from Buena Vista Social Club, Gloria Estefan, Mocedades and others. Music I grew up with.

Good stuff.

This is my favourite salsa song ever. Gitana (Gypsy woman) by Willie Colón

Doesn’t it make you want to get up and dance?
