Nothing wrong with a little Greek unity

This just kepps getting better!

"Somos el mundo" apparently needs rap

So first off thank you to Mayte who brought this to my attention. I originally saw this song was in the works but didn't think it would end up like it did. After the Haiti earthquake, Gloria Estefan and company had the wonderful idea to make a Spanish version of "We Are the World". It started out great but then they just had to include (I guess it was) a reggaeton/rap section. Did you really have to add this? I mean did they add it to the original "We Are the World"? Yes rap is music but one of the lines also caught me off guard: Earthquake can bring it down,We just rebuild it. Again, did they have to mention this? Yes the song is wonderful and it's a great way to raise awareness to this international incident, but I also noticed some "diva" qualities in the song; people trying to out-sing each other.

"Somos el mundo" includes Juanes, Ricky Martin, Jose Feliciano, Vicente Fernandez, Luis Enrique, Grupo Aventura, Pee Wee, Belinda, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Banda El Recodo, Shakira, Thalia, Jeni Rivera, Tito El Bambino, Kani Garcia, Luis Fonsi, Jon Secada, Willy, Lisette, Ana Barbara, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Juan Luis Guerra, David Archuletta, Christian Castro, Ednita Nazario, Paquita la del Barrio, Ricardo Montaner, Gloria Estefan, Luis Miguel, Chayanne, Olga Tanon, Natalia Jimenez, Melina Leon, Pitbull, Taboo, and Paulina Rubio.

So what do you think of the song?

Puerto Ricans...Beware!

As all of you may already know, as of July 1st, "a law enacted by Puerto Rico in December, mainly to combat identity theft, invalidates all previously issued Puerto Rican birth certificates. That means more than a third of the 4.1 million people of Puerto Rican descent living in the 50 states must arrange to get new certificates." The Puerto Rican government is putting this in effect due to raids and stolen birth certificates last March. Who's fault is that now?

Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens but apparently don't have the same rights as everyone else. But what exactly does this new law mean? What if they don't get it in time? Can Puerto Ricans still go to Puerto Rico without being questioned? A lot of questions remain unanswered. I hope most of you are contacting the PR government and getting it settled before your vacation.

So what are you going to do?

Futbol en Philadelphia

Big things coming to Philadelphia this Spring/Fall!

Why I like Qdoba

It was in 1995 when Anthony Miller and partner Robert Hauser imported San Francisco’s Mission-style burrito to Colorado, opening the first Qdoba Mexican Grill in Denver. Qdoba immediately won over customers and critics with the restaurant’s Mexican flavors and fresh ingredients. I mean seriously who doesn't enjoy a tasty burrito or even a naked burrito? With all types of salsas, I'm surprised it doesn't get me sick. Yes it's true :). Qdoba even serves a special 2-type meal where you get 2 of your favorite Qdoba offerings but as smaller portions. And as much as I'm there, I should probably sign up for their Qdoba card.

p.s. I love any location that serves tortilla soup!

Omega Phi Beta Believes in Dreams

Props to Omega Phi Beta's National Step/Stroll Team launching their Web site. I mean what better way to establish yourself as a legit separate entity than a Web site. Like any other performance team, the site includes photos, videos, events and contact information for bookings.

What makes it better is that their NST organization is not just about performing. OPB also established the Steppin' Off to Unite Latinas or S.O.U.L.; a youth mentee group organized by the National Step/Stroll Team of Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. The S.O.U.L. group is another way the Greek organization gives back to the community; especially young Latinas between the age of 13 and 18.

p.s. Where is Cut dem Off!? :)
