This girl I know says she learned french by listening to french songs.  Tonight...I wasn't trying to learn spanish, actually.  I was actually trying desperately to find this song with lyrics that sound like "zoom zoom zoom!"  I thought I had it--a friend was playing it on her laptop thursday, so I texted myself the track name:  "buena vista social club, track 2."  Well, tonight I listened to every song on Buena Vista Social Club, including track 2, and none of them were the right song.  My search did take me through a lot of salsa music, including a completely different song that has the lyrics "zoom zoom zoom" but is still the wrong song.  Anyway, I eventually came across this page and how can I write about this?  I just did this two hours ago.  Well I guess we all no I accomplished nothing today.  Except for drive all the way to Northgate to get my haircut by this really cute girl from alaska who asked me directly if I had a girlfriend and then we both complained about not dating anyone and I would have asked her out but she started telling me about this guy she is "seeing" or "dating" or whatever its called, so I left the place with a $40 bottle of conditioner that has so far provided an inadequate defense against my advancing hairline and without asking her out.  Anyway, lets skip to the end:  I've just listened to La Despedida by some guy Daddy Yankee about 30 times, and I still can't figure out what its about.  I like it though.  It has a meregue beat, unfortunately, and not a salsa, and...then I have a clever ending to this.
