A light goes out...

I have no words to describe the sadness I feel

about such a genius talent having passed in such

a tragic way. More than that it's made me reflect on his tragic downfall and how the human mind can loose perception and grasp of reality.  How the pain-body, for those of you who have read Eakard Tolle, can destroy even the brightest of lights. One of the ways this light shined was through his music, his philanthropic contributions, how he influenced the world of dance, which I as a dancer can vouch for, the world of music, and how he broke barriers and united the world in music. When it came to his work, it didn't matter what country or race you were from. The one thing politicians spend their entire lives trying to do, this man did with an unstoppable force that is undeniably unique and like a comet doesn't manifest quite often. 

Many of us throughout the world, particularly those of us who are artist, will always remember you through your work and the impact it's had in our childhood, teenagehood, and in our own work as entertainers. You were inspirational and we will always remember that child with the sweet voice that sang "I'll be there". 

I hope you find the peace and bliss you so desperately sought in this earth before and after things got so crazy for you. 

YOU ARE TRULLY "THE KING OF POP"

We will remember you forever!

Cual es tu Mala Leche?

This must be my favorite group right now. I just heard one song thanks to Zurama from "Hamanecer en La Habana" who posted this on Generacion Y's blog. It said "video clip banned by Castro for criticizing the revolution" and THAT caught my attention. The video is form their single "Mala Leche" and the video is quite cute. 

Turns out they are a group of Cubans that apparenlty signed with a Spanish record label and probably live in Spain now, although I'm not sure about that fact.  What I am certain abobut is that they are certainly a "must listen". 

Their sound is very similar to that of Juanes but with more flavor and more social commentaries in their lyrics. 

Hollywood is kicked out of Mexico

Mexican drug cartels don't like rivals treading on their territory; they don't like the police poking around; and now, it seems, they don't much care for Hollywood taking an interest in their business.

Producers of a film about the murder of a cocaine smuggler, which would have starred Eva Mendes, Josh Hartnett and Sir Ben Kingsley, have been forced to abandon filming on the Mexican coast after the movie-makers received death threats.>

RIP Tasha

Your grace and beauty will remain eternal. Be at peace in your spirit's journey towards evolution and higher consciousness. You will be remembered. 

MILK... a must see!

Have you had your dose today? Milk... it does your body good. We'll, I don't really know about that, but I can say this Milk, starring Sean Penn, will do your mind some good.

As always, Sean Penn is incredible. What an actor! There's just not that many people in Hollywood like him right now. But everyone else was good as well, even James Franco which I'm not a huge fan of. Diego Luna of "Y Tu Mama También" was great as the emotionally unstable little Mexican queen who's obsessed with Harvey.

Aside from the actor's performances... I must say, I didn't know much about Harvey Milk and his contribution to the Gay community, yet the film is really inspiring and gave me a good overview about who this man was and his place in American politics. 

The film was also well executed on Van Sant's part. I mean, some people might cringe at the first instance Penn and Franco kiss each other... and then there's the sex scenes, which really don't show anything. I bet that if this were a lesbian movie, the sex scenes would be different if you know what I mean... but that's entirely another blog.

But the film is a must see because of Penn. Did I say how much I like him already! He's just a god. 

One of the many reasons why Palin should not be in the White House, from a woman's POV

I agree with Lindsay in the sense that I support her as a woman and mother as I would any other woman that has the ambition to take on both career and family and not allow herself to be forced into choosing one over the other.

However, electing this particular woman to office, I think, would be the downfall of this country. As Lindsay mentioned in her article, it's taken us a LOOONG time to get to a point where we are able to decide what to do with our bodies in many issues from contraceptives, family planning and choice. This woman would not only attempt to reverse, but also pollute all that hard work that women in America have done so far and fought for so very hard. SHE SIMPLY MUST NOT BE ELECTED because there is a good chance she might end up President. SAVE US LORD!!! (not her Lord)

And trying to reform gays is absolutely ridiculous!!! Being gay is not a disease that you cure... it's a way of life, and once again, a CHOICE that should be respected.

I feel that if elected Palin will spend all her energy drilling, trying to impose her religious views on the country and trying to reform all of us who do not agree with her personal views.

GO BACK TO ALASKA!!!

Lindsay Lohan actually managed  to write an insightful article opposing Palin.  READ...

"CHE"

So this film has now been acquired to in the US to making it qualified to enter the Academy Awards.

"CHE"  is movie about the famous Che Guevara, played by Puertorican actor Benicio del Toro, who was a central figure in the Cuban Revolution.

A must see...if anything because I'm Cuban, and although I'm not a supporter of Castro, it sound like a good film. I mean..it's a Soderbergh film after all... plus my friend Luis Gonzaga is in it!

Michel Corbiere "A new begining in PR"

Michel Corbiere is on his way to PR for the film premiere of "Shut Up and Do It" at the Fine Arts Café. He will be in several talk shows in the island including "Entre Nosotras" (which is kind of like "The View"), Jacobo Morale's show on filmmaking, and Mirada Chavez amongst others.

CONGRATULATIONS MICHEL!!!
