First Impressions/Día a Día



Well, I'm waiting for The Strokes to finish downloading and my Ruben Blades cd to import into iTunes and then I'm going to play my creaky MacOS9 version of Master of Orion II while listening to Ruben Blades and The Strokes.
What? Hey, I'm only 50% weird.

Since I'm within proximity of the topic, rarely do I have the opportunity to discuss this, Ruben Blades is something of a hero of mine. In these present times when I'm facing a new kind of existential crisis with respect to my career, namely, if I don't want this then what do I want--I am reminded that what I really want in life, after all, is to be like Ruben Blades.

"Día a día la nostalgia me impulsa a continuar
Día a día la distancia me aconseja olvidar"

Qué verdád, Ruben, qué verdád.
