My translation skills at work! :o)

This is one of my favorite spanish language groups! ;) A friend wanted to know what the words meant, so I wrote down the words to the song and translated it as best as I know how. I think I did a pretty good job!

ALEJATE DE MI  by Camila
Alejate de mi, y hazlo pronto desde que te mienta get away from me, and do it soon while I lie to you
tus cielo hace gris yo ya camina bajo la tormenta your sky turned grey and I'm walking under the storm
Alejate de me, escapa, vete, ya no debo verte get away from me, escape, GO, I shouldn't see you
entiende que aunque pida que te vayas no quiero perderte understand that although I ask you to leave, I don't want to loose you
La luz ya no alcanza the light no longer reaches
no quieres caminar sobre el dolor descalza you don't want to walk upon the pain barefoot
Un angel te quida an angel is caring for you
y puso en mi boca la verdad para mostrarte la sailda and put in my mouth the words to demonstrate to you the way to leave
Y alejate de mi amor and get away from me love
ya se que aun estas a tiempo even though you are in time
no soy quien en verdad paresco y perdon I'm not who I truly appear to be and pardon me
no soy quien crees yo no cai del cielo I'm not who you think I am, I did not fall from heaven
Si aun no me lo crees amor and even if you don't believe me love
y quieres tu correr el reisgo and you want to run the risk
veras que soy realmente bueno en enganar y hacer sufrir you will see I am truly good at decieving and causing suffering
a quien mas quiero (x2) to whom I love the most
Alejate de mi get away from me
pues ya sabes que no te merezco you already know that I don't deserve you
quisiera arrepentirme, ser el mismo y no decirte eso I wish I could repent, be the same and not tell you this

Alejate de me, escapa, vete, ya no debo verte get away from me, escape, GO, I shouldn't see you
entiende que aunque pida que te vayas no quiero perderte understand that although I ask you to leave, I don't want to loose you
La luz ya no alcanza the light no longer reaches
no quieres caminar sobre el dolor descalza you don't want to walk upon the pain barefoot
Un angel te quida an angel is caring for you
y puso en mi boca la verdad para mostrarte la sailda and put in my mouth the words to demonstrate to you the way to leave
Y alejate de mi amor and get away from me love
ya se que aun estas a tiempo even though you are in time
no soy quien en verdad paresco y perdon I'm not who I truly appear to be and pardon me
no soy quien crees yo no cai del cielo I'm not who you think I am, I did not fall from heaven
Si aun no me lo crees amor and even if you don't believe me love
y quieres tu correr el reisgo and you want to run the risk
veras que soy realmente bueno en enganar y hacer llorar you will see I am truly good at decieving and making you cry 
a quien mas quiero (x2) to whom I love the most

Creative Writing from 1996

I wrote this in my creative writing class during my senior year of high school. One of the few assignments that I was proud of and I got a good grade to reflect that!

Boredom

Boredom is the black hole that is in the back of your mind. It is the act of counting all those little black dots on the ceiling. It is seeing the back of your eyelids. Boredom is when you don't understand anything that your teacher has said the last twenty minutes of class. It is the point between being awake and being asleep. Boredom makes the time crawl as slowly as a snail. It is when everything that you look at is fuzzy and dull. It makes you wonder what the point of being where you are is. Boredom lets you read the writing on the back of the desk in front of you and wonder whether or not those people have ever been in the same position you are in now. Boredom is those chain-link drawings you doodled all over your paper and desk. Boredom is a state of dreams, where anything can happen. And boredom is when you start to ask yourself and others around you, "When will this class be over?"

My creative writing teacher gave me an A- for that. I think I did a good job. :o)

I'm BACK!!

I'm going to start my new blog post with some of my old artwork that I found and took photos of, since I don't have a scanner. Since there was not to many pieces of artwork, I think I can get by without an official scan. I have added my copyright to the photos, however, because I do not want anything to be taken and credited to someone else. Not that I think that would happen. Nor do I think that my artwork is worth stealing, LOL. But I'm proud of what I have done, so I feel the need to protect it. :o)

This first piece I started drawing when I was in elementary school, but I have no recollection of exactly when I started it. I think I finished it to what you see now when I was in 7th grade, so sometime in the late 80's!! I was so happy to see that it had not turned to dust! :o)
